I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy - Chapter 1764

Chapter 1764: Chapter 767: The Heavenly Sovereign Attack, The Age Candle is Informed_2 Chapter 1764: Chapter 767: The Heavenly Sovereign Attack, The Age Candle is Informed_2 And from the Dao Realm to the Realm of Heavenly Sovereign lies an enormous chasm, littered with naturally gifted harmonization cultivators amidst Chaos, but as they stride towards the Realm of Heavenly Sovereign, they are mercilessly stopped.

Therefore, even if that Han Yi were enormously powerful and defying heaven’s will, it was impossible for him to ascend to Heavenly Sovereign in a short amount of time.

…

Ancestral God Domain.

A not so large Immortal Mountain, floating and moving. Seen from the Chaos, this humble Immortal Mountain appeared entirely purple, and if cultivators entered, they would realize its space was immensely vast–it spanned an area equivalent to dozens of Great Worlds stitched together, truly vast.

Should an ancient Heavenly Sovereign come here, they would recognize that this Immortal Mountain was a Daoist Domain Level great power that had emerged just about ten thousand years ago, known as Purple Mountain.

The reason Purple Mountain was a Daoist Domain Level great power was because the master of this Immortal Mountain was a Half-step Transcendence level powerhouse.

Furthermore, cultivators with sufficiently ancient seniority would know that this Purple Mountain was the true form of that Half-step Transcendence level powerhouse.

Or, to put it another way, Purple Mountain’s master was the Immortal Mountain itself, having cultivated and achieved Dao.

At this moment,
In a certain location on the massive surface of this Immortal Mountain, a White Eyebrow Taoist within a cultivation Cave Mansion slowly opened his eyes. If Han Yi were here, he would realize that this White Eyebrow Taoist was none other than the Age Candle Heavenly Venerate, who had been missing for several thousand years.

What Han Yi did not know was that during his time in the Chaotic Ancient Dao Domain, the Age Candle Heavenly Venerate had clashed with a Heavenly Sovereign from an ancient immortal tomb, sustaining serious injuries. When he escaped to the Primordial Demon Dao Domain, he chanced upon a signal from his Purple Mountain Token and learned that Purple Mountain was in the Primordial Demon Dao Domain, which led him straight to it.

And now, this Immortal Mountain that had traveled through the Nine Great Dao Domains had arrived at the Ancestral God Domain.

Nearly ten thousand years ago, when Age Candle had traveled through the Fu Heng Taoist Area, he had joined Purple Mountain by chance. This opportunity enabled him to break the shackles of the Dao realm and advance to Heavenly Sovereign.

In essence, Purple Mountain was his chance to achieve his status as a Venerate.

And this made sense since the true form of the Age Candle Heavenly Venerate was also an ancient Primordial mountain range from the Ancient Great World, the Age Candle Mountain Range.

However, following his ascension, he had refined this mountain range into the Age Candle Mountain, and with Age Candle Mountain at its heart, he established the Age Candle Immortal Court.

One could say that he and the master of Purple Mountain walked the same Great Path.

Naturally, most who joined Purple Mountain were natural spirits that had cultivated and risen to Venerates: mountains, rivers, streams, marshes, wood, plants, and the like.

Awakening from his cultivation, with a flicker of thought, Age Candle realized that over four thousand years had passed. To him, this period was not particularly lengthy in the context of his entire lifespan.

But these years must have been exceedingly difficult for Han Yi, who had fallen into the Chaotic Ancient Dao Domain.

With a thought, he stood up. With a shake of his figure, he exited the cultivation Cave Mansion and headed towards a nearby Great Hall. This hall housed some of the functional institutions of the great power of Purple Mountain, where one could learn news of the Nine Great Dao Domains, as well as issue or take up missions.

Of course, whether it was gathering news, publishing or accepting missions, the transactions were settled with Tao Crystals or even Origin Crystals.

And in this respect, the Age Candle Heavenly Venerate was very wealthy, having lived a tremendously long life.

Upon entering the Great Hall, before he even started to seek out news, he encountered several Outer Path Realm cultivators discussing a matter.

“Lu Jiuxiao truly lives up to being a Peak Venerable. His strength is too formidable, having forced even the Ten Thousand Travel Palace of the Fu Heng Taoist Area to halt, leaving even the Wuxiang Venerable to vanish amidst his pursuit.”

“Though he is an individual cultivator, he has made a major power submit. This Lu Jiuxiao is exceedingly defiant of the natural order, far too distant from us.”

“That’s right, the second battle outside the Ten Thousand Travel Palace is what we should be focusing on.”

“Indeed, the might of the Great True Sacred Sword is extremely terrifying. After all, it’s an Ancient Artifact originating from the True Holy Palace. Although Su Xi Taoist is weaker than that youth, by the battle’s end, from the surface, it appeared that they were evenly matched.”

“It just appears that way. That spear-shaped Ancient Artifact must have been severely damaged. Repairing it won’t come cheap.”

“But that mysterious youth seems to be alright despite being seriously wounded. He’s much stronger than Su Xi Taoist whose Tao Body was destroyed.”

“Truly powerful, this youth’s combat power, wielding an ancient artifact, is not far from a true Heavenly Sovereign. In fact, if it were a newly ascended Heavenly Sovereign without an ancient artifact in hand, they might even be able to contend for a time or two.”

“I wonder if this youth is an individual cultivator or if he has some heritage. If an individual cultivator, it is unknown whether there will be another Lu Jiuxiao in the future.”

The Age Candle Heavenly Venerate, who was just about to walk back, suddenly stopped. The “True Holy Palace” and the “Great True Sacred Sword” mentioned by these Unity Realm Stage cultivators were the reason for his pause. He did not care about the powerful and mysterious youth who nearly approached the combat power of a Heavenly Sovereign.

In the Chaos, there are quite a lot of powerful individual cultivators. These cultivators might originally have had a sect’s heritage or belonged to a world, but in the long passage of time, with worlds destroyed and sects fallen, they did not wish to join new forces and thus became individual cultivators.

While traveling through the Chaos, the Age Candle Heavenly Venerate had often heard the name of the individual cultivator Heavenly Sovereign Lu Jiuxiao.

“Daoist friends, what is it that you are discussing?” Age Candle approached and asked.

Several Outer Path Realm cultivators stood up and respectfully saluted the Age Candle Heavenly Venerate, “We pay our respects to the Heavenly Sovereign.”

Although Age Candle Heavenly Venerate had joined Purple Mountain, he was not stationed there all year round, and these Outer Path Realm cultivators had not seen him before.

“Heavenly Sovereign, what we were just discussing was a great battle that took place thirty-five years ago in the Fuheng Taoist Area.”

“That battle was divided into a first and second half. The first half involved Lu Jiuxiao, who intercepted the Ten Thousand Travel Palace and forced Wuxiang Venerable and two other Venerables from the Traveling Palace to take action. The battle between the Venerables triggered a Chaos tide that spread billions of miles.”

“The details of this battle are not known to outsiders.”

“The second battle took place near the Ten Thousand Travel Palace in the Fuheng Taoist Area’s True Holy Palace. An Outer Path Realm cultivator called upon the ancient artifact of the True Holy Palace, a sword known as the Great True Sacred Sword, to assassinate a mysterious youth.”

“What was shocking was that the mysterious youth also possessed an ancient artifact. The two engaged in a fierce battle and both retreated with injuries.”

“This second battle happened near the Ten Thousand Travel Palace where a powerful Harmonization came forth, capturing the Chaos information to form an image that was widely disseminated.”

The Outer Path Realm cultivator took out a jade stone, gently wiped it, and a small image appeared in front of him.

The mind of the Age Candle Heavenly Venerate was primarily focused on the True Holy Palace and the Great True Sacred Sword. After all, during his time in the Daoist God Continent, he had clashed with a Palace Master from the True Holy Palace and, since Han Yi had killed one of their Daoist Fruit Realm cultivators, they had a grudge. Understanding the adversary’s ancient artifact was also a form of preparation.

But as soon as he looked at the image that appeared, his eyes suddenly burst with light, and in a moment of excitement, his Heavenly Sovereign’s aura surged. However, in an extremely brief moment, he forcibly suppressed his feelings and withdrew his Heavenly Sovereign’s aura.

The faces of the nearby Outer Path cultivators momentarily showed terror, but because the Age Candle’s aura was withdrawn so swiftly, the palpable heart palpitations disappeared in an instant.

The Outer Path cultivator who produced the image cautiously asked, “Heavenly Sovereign, is there something wrong with this image?”

The Age Candle Heavenly Venerate did not respond, but stared fixedly at the brief image, recognizing the familiar face.

A tumultuous wave arose in his heart.

“Han Yi, it is Han Yi.”

“Yes, I recognize this ancient artifact. It is the weapon of the Extreme Ancient Ancestral God Diyu from Primordial Times, called Yue Guang.”

“So it turns out Han Yi has received the legacy of Diyu. No wonder his Divine Clan’s cultivation has advanced so rapidly.”

“Moreover, in just a few thousand years, he has actually ascended to the Outer Path Realm. This, this is simply too inconceivable.”

He shifted his gaze and slightly calmed his agitated emotions, continuing to inquire of these Outer Path individuals:
“Right, you just mentioned, in this battle, that Daoist Su Xi, his Tao Body was destroyed. Where did the Great True Sacred Sword go?”

An Outer Path cultivator shook his head, “Heavenly Sovereign, according to the messages, the remnant soul of Daoist Su Xi was absorbed into the body of the Great True Sacred Sword, and then, the ancient sword vanished into the Chaos on its own, disappearing without a trace.”

“And the mysterious youth also mysteriously disappeared.”

“This, then, is the outcome of the second great battle that occurred outside the Ten Thousand Travel Palace.”

Upon hearing this, Age Candle Heavenly Venerate’s mind brimmed with thoughts, and a flicker of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
