Paragon Of Sin

Chapter 1287 1281: NDAE, The Last Segment

THE FIFTH!

While the shock was still rippling through their hearts, the senses of the quintillions were elevated to interact with the Mystic Runes on a level comparable to a Worldly Domain. Those quick-witted were not stumped by their surprise but reacted appropriately by sensing the changes in the air and memorizing the various Mystic Runes and their respective auras.

The benefits were far too astonishing to neglect, and a few astute seniors hurriedly informed their juniors of this truth. The Chosen, geniuses, and ordinary talents were all driven into a cultivation state with racing hearts. Meanwhile, the Ascended beings joined in the cultivation frenzy, especially those at the Demi-Mortal Lord. Those at the third stage of the Mystic Ascendant Realm desperately immersed themselves in comprehending the profundities of the runes.

Those with experience knew that this event lasted for an extremely short period despite its amazing effects on oneʼs cultivation and potential. The King of Everloreʼs phenomenon only lasted seven minutes, while San Luoyangʼs recent Earthly Awakening of a True Saint was a mere seventy seconds. They had to seize every second available.

”...”

Time ticked on.

After one minute and forty-eight seconds, the phenomenon ended.

”...”

The silence continued as countless cultivators were in immersed states of enlightenment, especially the Starlords, on the verge of assailing their ascension. It formed a strange environment of unspoken agreement. Fortunately, even if there wasnʼt a readily understood etiquette, the World of Eden sought to isolate and protect them from outside interference both here and in the real world.

There was no one amongst the quintillions present that hadnʼt pondered on the Mystic Runes in some way; not even the Everlore Association was an exception. Evergodʼs expression might have been dark, but he had nevertheless entered a cultivation state when the Mystic Runes manifested. While the effects werenʼt the best, given the waves battering his mind and heart, he obtained some notable gains.

San Yongli, Lin Ming, Tang Xingyun, Tian Baiyan, Tian Jianghan, the Fated Royalty, and countless other Chosen of various top-notch factions were all in their own meditative states, digesting their respective gains.

The Ascended beings and Earthly Saints, such as Tian Muyang, Tian Guyan, and others, were no different.

Cao Cuifenʼs brows furrowed as she looked at Wei Wuyinʼs side profile. ”Youʼre not going to digest your gains?” She was an Alchemic Saint, so she didnʼt need to invest her all into comprehending the runes. Why? Because she could freely invoke it using her Alchemic Starsʼ Phenomenon Manifestation! While Wei Wuyin had once considered it useless, that was only pertaining to the Alchemic Sovereign-level manifestations. How could one of the seven Alchemic Daoʼs abilities possibly be useless?

There were limitations, such as size and scope, but this was something she could generate by paying a specific cost.

Wei Wuyin shook his head silently. Cao Cuifen didnʼt ask again, knowing that Wei Wuyin likely had his reasons. In truth, it was simply an unnecessary action. After his tribulation within the River of Time, heʼd acquired a complete memory of his alternative selfʼs lifetime, including his numerous insights into the Mystic Daoʼs Way of Mysticism.

By default, Wei Wuyin could easily reach the 9th Rune Ascension and 9th Runic Ascendant State without the slightest difficulties. Moreover, he had a Zenith Origin State-four of them, the Stellar-Paragon Physique, which had an extraordinary harmony between the Mortal and Mystic, including Little Defiantʼs existence; his foundation was well-established without the slightest fault.

Wei Wuyinʼs difficulties were no longer comprehension, but the absurdity of his cultivated foundation was far too obscene. After his four Astral Soulsʼ actions, the difficulty of reaching the peak had gone from one maximized foundation to sixteen. If he didnʼt have his Stellar-Paragon Physique...

After several days, cultivators began to naturally exit from their cultivation states. However, after waking up, they realized there were countless others still in meditation and had little choice but to continue cultivating themselves. The aura of breakthroughs, except those at the Star Core Phase due to Wei Wuyinʼs prior warning, kept occurring. Moreover, there was no rush.

It took a whole month for everyone to leave their states of enlightenment and comprehension; only then did Tian Xiaocheng take center stage again. This time, standing shoulder to shoulder with her was none other than the Lavender-Dawn Alchemic Saint!

Standing there silently, proudly, and beautifully, she stole away the attention from the Number ONE Beauty of the Aeternal Sky Starfield. To think that the Neo-Dawn Alchemic Expo would usher the fifth Alchemic Saint of the entire starfield!

The old foxes of the world couldnʼt help but sigh in their hearts. ”The new era is here,” were the words that echoed in the hearts of countless cultivators. Their generation was bound to be eclipsed especially given all the tools for the younger generation to establish unprecedented foundations.

It started with the Neo-Dawn Eclipse Pill, but that was only the beginning of the spark that would signal the new era. The deaths of numerous Earthly Saints and the collapse of the Grand Cyclic Stellar Regionʼs long-standing peace of nearly twenty thousand years under the Imperial Clanʼs rule was another sign.

”No, it all began when the Everlore Starfieldʼs populace migrated!” Said an aged Ascended being that was nearly nine thousand years old, almost at the end of his Soul of Mysticism Phase lifespan.

It was hard to accept that times had changed, yet sometimes it was inevitable and irresistible.

”With the younger generation experiencing all sorts of benefits and changes, including the presence of two more Alchemic Saints and these heaven-defying products, it just means their future is exceptionally bright, but that doesnʼt mean we have to fall into their shadows in defeat. We still have means to make our marks,” A very reluctant and unyielding middle-aged woman at the Soul of Mysticism Phase commented.

Her words inspired her neighbors; before the King of Everloreʼs arrival, which launched numerous cultivators into higher stages, many of the now-established peak powerhouses were little to nothing! This meant they didnʼt have to be inferior, right? Right?!

There was still a chance to establish their very own legends!

A ray of inextinguishable hope unwittingly emerged in some of their hearts.

After a while, Tian Dingjianʼs voice resounded, yet she remained unseen. ”Empress Xiaocheng, what was the concocted product?” Her question caused the peopleʼs focus to realign. After pondering these changes, the feeling that the Lavender-Dawn Alchemic Saint was simply a prelude to something bigger unintentionally lowered their reactions.

If one was legendary, and two was extraordinary, then three was incredibly rare, while five was a trend of the world. Especially since the fourth and fifth were both unexpected. While San Luoyang was a Prime Alchemic Sovereign, 110 one expected him, who was astonishingly young, to become an Alchemic Saint so soon. And this type of logic has occurred frequently throughout written history, especially with cultivation stages.

Tian Xiaocheng looked to Luo Ning, who held a perfectly sealed jade box in her hand without the slightest trace of aura leaking out. When she saw that beautiful countenance, her emotions couldnʼt resist stirring, not out of appreciation or other heated emotions, but simply out of disbelief that this day had come.

Itʼll be a long time before the world properly digests this reveal. A shell-shocked subdued type of response was given for now, but it was bound to be shattered gradually. The likely reason why cultivators werenʼt going absolutely buck-wild currently had to be due to the sheer quantity of outstanding feats theyʼve been shown thus far.

All four of Wei Wuyinʼs Neo-Dawn Alchemic Lineage products were earth-shaking and heaven-shaping, each better than the last. At the same time, theyʼve experienced the World of Eden, a Spiritual Network World and its miraculous functions, a Supermassive Solar Star larger than the Aeternal Sky Solar Star, thirty-three Mortal Sovereign Alchemist ascensions, Astralis Dawn Mist, Pure Dream Liquid, and a True Earthly Recognition of an Alchemic Saint!

It was hard to digest it all!

Extremely!

But the Neo-Dawn Alchemic Expo was not done yet! Three events were left: the third alchemic feat, the fifth product, and the seventh fortune! It was like experiencing a concert, listening to entirely new music, and only when the concert finished could one truly discuss the finer details and appreciate the fantastic sensations it made you feel, forever etched into your memories.

Luo Ning took the lead; she proudly displayed her jade box, explaining: ”This was my first ever successful concoction, and Iʼve completed the Mystic-Earth graded, low-tiered Lifefall Crystal-Heart Pill; This product isnʼt new, and some of you might recognize it, but it can grant any cultivator an additional one hundred years of lifespan, relative to their cultivation base. It can also assist in healing severe injuries and usage of certain Mystic Abilities such as Temporal Reversion.”

She slowly opened the box, and a gush of exuberant aura surged forth. Lifefall Crystal-Heart Pill! A life-replenishment product! While it was low-tiered, it was priceless for Mystic Star Phase cultivators. It was a product that she had always wished to possess, so to one day be able to concoct it herself instilled absolute pride in her heart.

”Itʼs low-quality,” Luo Ning stated.

”Oh!”

The fifth Alchemic Saint surely went big with her product! Typically, an Alchemic Saint would go for something extremely easy, like an Essence Pill, which was what Evergod had done for bis ascension, and many had suspected San Luoyang had done.A life-replenishing product!

As the crowd began to rile up, some even wondering if they could bid for the product, Tian Xiaocheng walked forward and announced with a solemn voice that instantly caught everyoneʼs attention once again: ”The last segment of the Neo-Dawn Alchemic Expo is next!”
