Chapter 1491: Chapter 1491: Thirty Thousand Years in Seclusion

The man in black remained silent.

”What is the status of the Sharp Gold Cloud Crane Pill?” the Wanbao Daoist asked.

In the Wanbao Divine Hall, there is a dedicated alchemy institution. After obtaining the Sharp Gold Cloud Crane Pill from Zhuang Yan, the Sect Master of the True Yang Sect, the Wanbao Daoist handed the elixir over to the Alchemy Room, instructing the Pill Masters inside to analyze the materials of the Sharp Gold Cloud Crane Pill.

Several hundred years have passed.

”It is still being analyzed. The method of refining the Sharp Gold Cloud Crane Pill is very mysterious. Therefore, completely analyzing the ingredients of this pill will be somewhat slow. At the current pace, it may take another two hundred years or so,” the man in black said.

”Have them speed up! The Sharp Gold Cloud Crane Pill is not an ordinary Divine Pill; it is of great importance. Tell the Pill Masters to stop refining other pills for the time being and focus all their efforts on the Sharp Gold Cloud Crane Pill,” the Wanbao Daoist instructed sternly.

”Yes!”

”However, Elder Feng Guan’s opinion is that even if all the ingredients of this pill are fully analyzed, researching the pill formula will be extremely difficult.” The man in black thought for a moment before adding.

The Elder Feng Guan he spoke of is also a top-level Divine Pill Master and one of Wanbao Daoist’s most outstanding disciples. The Alchemy Room of the Wanbao Divine Hall is directly supervised by Feng Guan.

”He doesn’t need to worry about that much; I just want him to analyze the materials of the Sharp Gold Cloud Crane Pill. As for how to refine it, I’ll study it myself,” the Wanbao Daoist waved his hand.

”Alright, you may leave now! By the way, Tu Cheng is dead, and the position of Heaven Pavilion Master is currently vacant. Keep an eye out and see who is suitable for the role,” the Wanbao Daoist added.

”Yes!” The man in black bowed and left the Great Hall.

”Things are becoming more interesting! Jing Yan? Jing Yan!” The deep voice of Wanbao Daoist echoed in the empty Great Hall.

...

The news that the Heaven Pavilion Master, Tu Cheng of Wanbao Divine Hall, was slain by Saint Master Jing Yan caused an uproar in the All Paths Sacred Land.

Not only the members of the local Spiritual Mountain were invigorated by this news, but members of the other four branches of Spiritual Mountain also felt a surge of spirit. The martial artists of the four branches of Spiritual Mountain have greatly increased their recognition of Jing Yan as the Saint Master.

Nowadays, in the four branches of Spiritual Mountain, no one is heard calling Jing Yan by name directly. Whenever someone mentions Jing Yan, they refer to him as Saint Master. The expression on their faces almost always shows a hint of respect.

The high-level members of the four branches of Spiritual Mountain, whether they truly acknowledge him or have reluctantly accepted it, it is evident that the five branches of Spiritual Mountain in the All Paths Sacred Land are becoming more united.

Of course, since Jing Yan became the Saint Master, the rapid expansion of the All Paths Sacred Land has been clearly visible. Not only has the strength of the All Paths Sacred Land itself grown rapidly, but its influence in the All Paths World is also growing wildly. Such an effect is, of course, something every member of the All Paths Sacred Land is happy to see.

After Jing Yan slew Tu Cheng and returned to All Paths Spirit Mountain, he entered retreat again.

Although Jing Yan is already very powerful now, it is still far from enough to deal with the Wanbao Divine Hall. The Hall Master of the Wanbao Divine Hall, the Wanbao Daoist, is not only a Holy Alchemist but also possesses unbelievably strong Martial Arts Cultivation. According to what Elder Chui Feng and Elder Chuo Yan know, the martial arts strength of Wanbao Daoist is clearly above both of theirs.

So Jing Yan entered into a frenzied training mode. He attempted to integrate the Gravity Domain into the Chaos Sword but was unsuccessful. Neither the Gravity Domain nor the Nihility Domain could combine with the Chaos Sword.

After confirming this point, Jing Yan began to focus on comprehending the Withered Wood Domain and Thick Earth Domain.

After four hundred years of retreat, Jing Yan mastered the Ultimate Withered Wood Domain and integrated it into the Chaos Sword. This caused the power of the Chaos Sword to increase significantly once again.

In the outside world, four hundred years passed, but under the Moro Time Tower, Jing Yan trained for as long as twelve thousand years.

Having mastered the Ultimate Withered Wood Domain, Jing Yan’s next goal was the Thick Earth Domain. However, this time, he encountered a severe bottleneck. Despite spending several centuries meditating on it, he could not master the Ultimate Thick Earth Domain.

This made Jing Yan realize that mastering the Ultimate Thick Earth Domain might not be something that could be achieved by continuous retreat alone.

Jing Yan began to understand why martial artists like Elder Chuo Yan could never master the final Basic Law Ultimate Sharp Gold Domain. The mastery of the final Basic Law Ultimate Domain likely posed an invisible barrier for martial artists. Although a martial artist could not feel this barrier, in the mysterious Heavenly Dao, it should be real.

Because once a martial artist transforms all five Basic Law Domains to the Ultimate, it basically equates to entering the God Emperor Level.

With the Ultimate Thick Earth Domain temporarily out of reach, Jing Yan shifted his focus to the Array Dao and Alchemy Dao.

During this time, Jing Yan refined many top-level elixirs. These top-level Divine Pills included the Sharp Gold Cloud Crane Pill, Red Flame Cloud Crane Pill, Weak Water Cloud Crane Pill, and Withered Wood Cloud Crane Pill. Due to the scarcity of Divine Grass materials, the refinement of these elixirs could not be done on a large scale. Jing Yan exhaustively collected various materials and was able to refine only a small amount of elixirs.

In the Array Dao, however, Jing Yan made astonishing progress.

According to the level of the Qiankun Array Path, Jing Yan judged that his array ability had likely reached the level of a Holy Array Master. Although he had not reached the Holy Alchemist level in the Alchemy Dao, he had first crossed that threshold in the Array Dao to become a Holy Array Master.

This was something Jing Yan had never anticipated. It seemed that his talent in the Array Dao was stronger than in the Alchemy Dao.

It should be noted that Jing Yan had spent far less time on the Array Dao than on the Alchemy Dao. Yet he stepped into the Saint Level in the Array Dao before doing so in the Alchemy Dao.

On this day, Jing Yan felt a slight stir in his heart.

”Hmm? Someone is looking for me outside?” Jing Yan thought and left the Qiankun Small World.

Since killing Tu Cheng, Jing Yan had been in a state of frantic cultivation for over a thousand years. Under the Moro Time Tower, he had been cultivating for over thirty thousand years.

During such a long period, Jing Yan had only voluntarily left the Qiankun Small World once. Until now, he returned outside because someone was searching for him.

”Elder Chuo Yan? You came looking for me?” Jing Yan met Elder Chuo Yan, a Divine Emperor strong practitioner, outside the Outer Hall of the All Paths Holy Hall.

”Yes,” Elder Chuo Yan nodded.

”What is it?” Jing Yan asked.

He knew that if there was no urgent matter, Elder Chuo Yan would definitely not interrupt his retreat.

”My master, Elder Xin Qian, has returned to the All Paths World. I sensed it, so I came to see you, Saint Master. My master could leave again at any time, so I couldn’t wait, and I hope I didn’t disturb your cultivation.” Elder Chuo Yan said apologetically.

”No disturbance at all! Where is Elder Xin Qian? I’ll go see him immediately!” Jing Yan’s eyes slightly narrowed.
