Paragon Of Sin

Chapter 1267 1261: NDEA, Unveiling Sea

The very first ʼunofficialʼ hour of the Neo- Dawn Alchemic Expo had confirmed the beliefs of countless cultivators that this expo was bound to be unordinary! While brief, the cultivation session with the Astralis Dawn Mist, this previously unknown and miraculously effective resource, had brought about amazing results for countless cultivators.

There were those who experienced dramatic leaps in their cultivation base and others who acquired a variety of Awakened Intents. Amongst the quintillions present, many had been halted at their cultivation stage due to the limitations of their talent, comprehension, wealth, and access to legacies or resources, and the Astralis Dawn Mist had allowed them to break free from that hellish situation. They regained a feeling of progression that theyʼd lost for decades, centuries, or even millennia!

And the reactions from the crowd were plentiful, ranging from unrestrained excitement to lingering regret. The latter feelings were mostly due to their hesitancy, losing several precious minutes in refining the material. Given that each second could be comparable to days or weeks of cultivation, they had undeniably lost a valuable opportunity.

pαndα`noν?1--сoМ Lin Ming was sitting cross-legged next to Lin Xianxei. A radiant light of excitement flashed in his eyes as he inspected the changes to his bodily talents. ”The Empress wasnʼt lying,” Lin Ming realized while his heart raced. He could sense the properties of his refinement talents had been elevated by a few levels.

Lin Xianxei ended her cultivation efforts, opening her gorgeous golden eyes, could not resist revealing a peerless smile of genuine happiness and astounding beauty. However, when she turned to see Lin Mingʼs dazed expression, his eyes glimmering with feelings, her smile gradually faded, and her expression grew serious.

”This is just the first bout of good fortune. Remember, there are seven of them in total in Alchemic Expos. But that doesnʼt mean everyone can claim them like this one.” Lin Xianxei explained as she began to rise from her seated position.

”Not everyone can claim them? What do you mean?” Lin Ming followed Lin Xianxei and stood up beside her. Since the announcement of the Alchemic Expo, heʼd heard numerous seniors speak of the so- called ʼgood fortuneʼ that was certainly there. Typically, an invitation to an Alchemic Expo was a treasured and exclusive opportunity that most couldnʼt obtain, so only a select and lucky few were aware of the details surrounding this good fortune.

Lin Xianxei used the Proximity Link to try and find her mother.

”Xeiʼer! Iʼll find you after the Expo.” Lin Xianxianʼs voice echoed in her mind making Lin Xianxei shiver slightly. It was as if Lin Xianxian was extremely close yet impossibly far, and this caused her mind to experience faint signs of deviation and confusion. A faint draconic roar resounded in her clearing the lingering sensation of dissonance that had formed as soon as it arrived.

”Senior Sister Lin?” Lin Ming called out. Lin Xianxei wasnʼt the only one experiencing intermittent outbursts of dissonance, but the dragons watching over the world were on-guard against all signs of it.

Eventually, she regained herself as a wave of relief flowed through her heart. ”Yeah? Oh, right. Uhm,” she slowly recalled what she had said before and continued: ”The good fortune of an Alchemic Expo is divided into seven parts, but generally, thereʼs a preceding competition or a result of selective favoritism. Most Alchemic Expos lack a generalized bestowal of good fortune like the Astralis Dawn Mist. This is also why Elder Duhan told you earlier to seize every opportunity that comes your way.”

”I see.” Lin Ming finally realized why the younger generation was so hyped for the Alchemic Expo. ”Is it only restricted to the younger generation?”

”Depends on the Alchemist, but the first good fortune given typically lays the foundation of whatʼs to come. If itʼs a competition for younger generations, then itʼll typically have six other events that will be restricted to the younger generation. If itʼs a competition for the older generation, for Alchemists only, or a specific type of cultivator, then the rest often follow suit.”

”So what does this mean?” Lin Ming asked.

Lin Xianxei had tried to probe her mother for the answer to that question. ”I canʼt be certain, but my best guess is that every cultivator has an opportunity for good fortune.” Her alluring eyes swept across the World of Eden, and she could tell that even Ascended beings had experienced fortune from the mist. This was unprecedented!

Isnʼt an Alchemic Expo meant to showcase an Alchemistʼs newly invented products? Are they not part of the good fortune?” Lin Ming was wondering if Wei Wuyin was trying to suggest that he was revealing a product that every cultivator, even Ascended being, could effectively use! After all, not even the Neo-Dawn Eclipse Pill was that general in usage, restricted to those at the Soul Idol Phase to the Gravity Emission Phase in the Astral Core Realm.

Lin Xianxeiʼs eyes brightened at Lin Mingʼs words. ”Yes, one of the main good fortunes of an Alchemic Expo is for everyone to receive a product or be a part of a randomly or deliberately selected group to refine the product before everyone present. Very similar to the Grand Demonstration of a Golden Auction.”

The Lin duo werenʼt the only ones having avid discussions of the potential events of the Neo-Dawn Alchemic Expo. Wei Wuyinʼs act of mass releasing the Astralis Dawn Mist hadnʼt just elevated the atmosphere of excitement in the World of Eden, but now, countless cultivators started speculating on what type of product Wei Wuyin would unveil for this Alchemic Expo!

”Everyone!” Empress Xiaocheng had allowed everyone to exit from their cultivation states, providing them a few extra minutes before she began to speak out. During that minute, those still engrossed in cultivation were gently awakened by the World of Edenʼs effects, ensuring they wouldnʼt undergo Cultivation Deviation. Everyone could tell that Wei Wuyin had put an unimaginable amount of thought, concern, planning, and care into the World of Eden for this event.

”Iʼd like to announce: the Neo-Dawn Alchemic Expo has officially begun! I, Tian Xiaocheng, welcome all of you and hope you enjoy your experience.” The Number ONE Beauty of the Aeternal Sky Starfield grabbed everyoneʼs attention, and her gentle tone elicited all sorts of good feelings. Quite a few cultivators, both male and female, had already fallen hopelessly for her.

”AND! I am excited to introduce the next stage of the expo! The unveiling of our first product. The Neo-Dawn Alchemic Expo will have a total of FIVE unveilings. Yes, you heard right-FIVE! All five were invented by none other than Alchemic Sovereign Wei.”

Five?!

The crowd grew rowdy and loud as this was unprecedented to the extreme! Wei Wuyin was only a young mortal beneath the age of a hundred, so inventing a product was already outstanding. Furthermore, most still didnʼt believe that the Neo-Dawn Eclipse Pill had been devised by him, but by the force that supplied the Earthly Saints and stood behind him, so it was quite outrageous to reveal five different products.

Empress Xiaocheng had similar doubtful feelings, but she didnʼt voice any of them or reveal her own disbelief in her outward expression. She might be an Empress, but her level of professionalism was impressive.

”Weʼll begin by bringing forth our first product,” she gestured to an area of the stage.

WOOSH!

A vortex of spatial energy formed.

”Is that stage real?” Only then did people realize that the glass sphere was likely a reflection of the real world that they were all viewing through their senses. The stage must be located in the real world somewhere! Thinking about it, this made sense, given that itʼll be nonsense to bring a product into a Spiritual Network World like the World of Eden.

If the product was taken in this world, who could possibly verify if it was real or false?

From the vortex, two beautiful women, definitely sisters based on their similar facial features, both with outstanding auras, emerged while bringing forth a floating cart that they jointly pushed. They arrived before the Empress and left the cart there before standing behind her respectfully.

The Empress revealed a bright smile as she gestured atop the cart, which had a large rectangular box made from Terra-Mystic Ore and other materials, completely sealing the product within. Everyoneʼs gaze couldnʼt help but focus on the box.

”The first product that will be presented will also be followed by a special opportunity,” the Empress announced before touching the top of the jade box, slowly undoing the spiritual seals placed on the box. Bursts of beautiful spiritual lightfollowed; the light show itself was extremely dazzling to behold.

Slowly and suspensefully, she began to lift the lid of the box. Quintillions of gazes used their Projection Link to get a better view. There wasnʼt a single individual that was given a VIP view as everyone, from the little girl with her family to the Earthly Saints, were all given the same privileges-in the Neo-Dawn Alchemic Expo, all were equal.

”I present to you, the Neo-Dawn Soul-Sea Elixir!”

The first of Wei Wuyinʼs five products that will shake the entire world was about to be revealed!
