Chapter 642 - 637: Grand Demonstration, Light & Mist
Ascendant Emperor of Neo-Dawn? Neo-Dawn Grand Alchemic Sovereign?! Wei Wuyin!
Amongst the spiritual senses present, excluding those of New Everlore, not a single one lacked personal status, exceptional backing, and cultivation. They were experienced and knowledgeable of the standards of the Aeternal Sky Starfield, at the very least. All the prominent characters, the Earthly Saints, the thirty-four Mortal Sovereign Alchemists, the five hundred and four Prime and Grand-level Alchemic Emperors, and elite talents amongst a centennial generation, qualified to be true Chosen.
However, they were almost all floored by this announcement. Wei Wuyin? There were other Wei Wuyin's in their memory, but none of them were even remotely as impressive as announced. The sheer significance of a Grand-level Mortal Sovereign Alchemist was stupendously massive. There were three levels of an alchemist—Official, Prime, and Grand, which were respectively divided by those capable of reliably concocting a certain tier of alchemical product—Low, High, and Peak.
Not even San Luoyang, one of the most publicly known figures amongst the Mortal Sovereign Alchemists, one of the leaders of the Everlore Association, could be considered a Grand Alchemic Sovereign. For the last several centuries, he's been at the Prime Alchemic Sovereign level!
Those spiritual senses that could be divided did so to investigate. They wanted information about this Ascendant Emperor of Neo-Dawn, born in the Everlore Starfield, and became a Mortal Sovereign Alchemist before the age of fifty. Most were in disbelief, refusing to believe such outrageous claims.
To justify their viewpoint here, one must know the King of Everlore, a man of outstanding prestige that has left an everlasting mark on the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region, had only become a Mortal Sovereign Alchemist after a hundred years! Furthermore, the standard of this was based on the archaic rubric, so he might've taken even longer. As for reaching the Grand-level Mortal Sovereign Alchemist, this was believed to be achieved after a few hundred years, and only because he was stuck in the Desolate Dragnet Region.
"He actually did it," Wu Baozhai couldn't help but feel her heart finally relax, but the concern in her voice was apparent. She didn't expect Wei Wuyin to be so open in his capabilities. After all, he was a little too outstanding, but also still very young. There were dangers involved. However, this concern was fueled by her time in the Wu Clan's Imperial Palace. The conniving schemes of the selfish, petty, and jealous.
Wu Yu disagreed with such thinking, "the King of Everlore established himself in this territory with only a few genuine Mystic Ascendants at his beck and call, while Earthly Saints were present. I don't think that fellow would be received with any less respect after his abilities are verified. Furthermore, he's already making preparations. The Golden Life Pavilion, for example."
Wu Baozhai frowned for a long moment, then her furrowed brows lifted. "You're right."
Wu Yu, however, had other thoughts as well. He didn't believe that Wei Wuyin understood everything about the Aeternal Sky Starfield or the Grand Cyclic Region. This type of move had benefits, but it had its disadvantages as well. After all, he was using the Golden Life Pavilion to announce to the world that he was the Second-Coming of the King of Everlore, at the very least.
The strength of anonymity shouldn't be underestimated. While Wei Wuyin was never a figure that flew under the radar, in anything he had ever done since arriving at the Myriad Monarch Sect, there was a subtle feeling of underestimation from most powerhouses. The San Clan and the other three hegemon of the Tri-Vision Starfield was utterly powerless as long as Wei Wuyin remained in the protective formations of the Myriad Monarch Sect, but they might've made a dangerous move if they could've, if they knew of his prestige.
Who knew what changes this could bring?
Others felt both excited and worried, such as Na Xinyi. Wei Wuyin wanted her to establish herself, to soar past as an independent, but this move could reduce her to a foil again. To be considered as Wei Wuyin's wife, not as Na Xinyi. She twisted the spatial ring on her finger, wondering what Wei Wuyin's thoughts were.
"…Could it be?" She felt the pressure to improve in her heart, to prove herself. It grew stronger as this announcement echoed in her heart. Was this Wei Wuyin's way of urging her forward? She couldn't be sure, but the more she considered it, the more her Heart of Cultivation continued to be pushed into greater pressure, helping it solidify.
"Before you return, I'll make sure my name resounds throughout this starfield." Na Xinyi swore an oath in her heart, her eyes brilliantly fierce and determined.
Xue Yifei's eyes were bright like the gorgeous stars in the sky. She was filled with a furious yearning to meet Wei Wuyin again.
Those in New Everlore were the most uproarious. For a moment, they were confused, but the name Ascendant Emperor of Neo-Dawn was decided by many of them, given by them to Wei Wuyin to show their utmost respect towards the most talented figure since the King of Everlore. It was a play on words, perfectly tailored to Wei Wuyin.
Inducted into the Myriad Monarch Sect, founding the Ascendants, and establishing a new era in his early years. It fit perfectly! So they knew that this Wei Wuyin was their Wei Wuyin! This was the figure that was primed to establish an entirely new era!
While many of those who felt personally connected to Wei Wuyin were experiencing a wide-array of emotions and desires, the most intense emotions, mostly on the dark side, belonged to Origin, the sole planet ruled by the True Element Sect. The spiritual senses there were currently going wild, but Ma Sujiang didn't wait for others to digest and investigate.
She proceeded by touching the lid of the box and pulled it open. When the lid was opened, the spiritual senses were stimulated by a gushing wave of pure alchemic mist erupted. It caused those senses that were divided to snap back to complete focus. The box was inspected with fierce force by everyone, unable to do anything else.
"This pill is named the Neo-Dawn Eclipse Pill."
A single silver pill floated from the box, resembling a miniaturized solar star. It was radiant, gorgeous, and mystifying. It floated completely out of its own power, spun as if it was a planet, and released alchemical light.
"Amazing!"
The one who spoke had a voice that was refreshing as a minty spring, stimulating the physical bodies of most men. This was because it originated from the platform. The Twilight Alchemic Sovereign, Mu Yura, had said those words.
"Perfect."
Ma Leihan threw in his own opinion. He had seen many ninth-grade pills before, but he had never seen one as perfectly formed like this. The alchemic light and mist it exuded was exceptional. He had never seen such an extraordinary pill before. It truly was worthy of being a peak-tier, ninth-grade pill.
There wasn't a single leakage. Even if the pill was left out in the open for a thousand years, it would still be in perfect condition. The structure was absolutely symmetrical, formed without a slight imbalance. The alchemic light and mist revealed no impurities, and repelled any impurities from reaching it. A natural defensive coating.
Whoever creates this…
Whoever created this pill…
Mu Yura stepped forward, arriving directly before the pill as her heterochromic eyes inspected the floating pill that rotated with its own power. Her shapely body quivered slightly after being touched by the mist and light.
Her eyes brightened as she breathed in, bits of mist and light entered her veil, clearly going into her nostrils. Those eyes of hers grew intoxicated and unfocused.
Ma Leihan faintly smiled. He had already inspected the product before, so he didn't need to do this. However, he knew what the Twilight Alchemic Sovereign was feeling at this moment.
The purity of the alchemical energies used to create this pill had an exceptionally mind-elevating factor. He had seen alchemic mist and light before, but this pill was outrageous.
During the Light Conjuring Astral Tribulation, Wei Wuyin had used the Refraction World-Light Elixir of the transcendent-quality to gain insight into unique Primary Light that his Spirits of Cultivation naturally exuded. It perfectly reflected their existences.
Eden's Primary Light was the Seven Source Light. It reflected the seven principles of alchemy and the seven emotions relating to sentience. As for the mist, it originated from the Utmost Purity Mist that came from the cauldron. This type of mist could only be produced by the consecutive successful concoction of seventh-grade products and higher, and if an Impure-quality product is generated, its adversely affected.
Wei Wuyin had completed countless seventh-grade and higher products, including ninth-grade products using the same cauldron. He hadn't concocted an impure-quality product in a long, long time. If a product neared that level, he had the mental acuity and decisiveness to destroy it and restart before it completed. This was only achievable due to Eden's powers and his Celestial Eyes of Spiritual Divinity.
It created an absolutely terrifying Utmost Purity Mist.
The Twilight Alchemic Sovereign's body kept shivering for a full minute, and Ma Sujiang just allowed her to assess. However, her expression darkened when the Alchemic Sovereign took another breath, then another.
Ma Leihan's expression became slightly unsightly. Ma Zheng had only allowed him to take in one breath, and even though he begged for more, he was outright refused. The Utmost Purity Mist and Primary Light that established the alchemic mist and light was highly beneficial to alchemists and cultivators.
It can elevate the quality of one's mental energies and gain alchemical insights from the Utmost Purity Mist, which is a product of endless successful products. Mental energies were the most difficult type of the four foundational energies to improve, so this was outrageously beneficial to cultivators. Every breath was like a low-tier eighth-grade mental enhancing product.
Even if the product was re-created, unless the same cauldron and alchemist concocted this pill, it wouldn't be remotely the same.
"Alchemic Sovereign Mu Yura!" Ma Sujiang said in a patient yet deep tone, trying to remind her to assess properly. But when she took another breath, completely ignoring everything else, Ma Sujiang's eyes flickered with potent darkness. She felt an urge to slap this woman.
She was directly stealing the benefits from their disciple, a prospective Chosen. After all, the mist and light weren't unlimited.
"We're still in the demonstration," Ma Sujiang reminded. She hoped the constant shivering would bring Mu Yura to an awakening, but the response she got was infuriating!
"So?" Mu Yura took another breath. She had already exhausted a third of the alchemic light and mist. The insights and elevation she gained from this was absolutely astonishing. Every breath was like a drug that brought one to an orgasm, utterly intoxicating. After all, refining an eighth-grade alchemical product might take a week or so for her, but every breath was instant with far more benefits.
BOOM!
Ma Sujiang closed the box, sealing the pill. She spoke with her composure intact, yet through gritted teeth, "Alchemic Sovereign Mu Yura, please give your assessment."
Mu Yura's eyes narrowed as she gave Ma Sujiang a dissatisfied look. She had an urge to steal the pill but held back. This wasn't her territory, and she was invited as a guest. She pouted her lips behind her veil and softly harrumphed.
She didn't believe someone under fifty could concoct this. Perhaps only the King of Everlore or one of the three Alchemic Saints could produce this effect, at least in her mind.
"This is a genuine peak-tier, ninth-grade alchemical product." After saying this, she stepped away and gave the center stage back to Ma Sujiang. She directly ignored Ma Leihan's unsightly gaze.
Ma Leihan had to take several breaths to calm down. To see someone obtain benefits from his own clan run demonstration, greater than him, left him feeling all sorts of ways. He went up and verified as well, but he wasn't allowed to take a breath. This made him absolutely enraged, and his emotions stirred.
"Thank you, Alchemic Sovereign Mu Yura and Alchemic Sovereign Ma Leihan." Ma Sujiang understood Ma Leihan's feelings, but she couldn't allow him to take five breaths. While the pill's effect wouldn't become diluted due to this being merely excess, it would be stealing from a prospective Chosen.
The box had been reopened for Ma Leihan's cursory inspection, so she merely brought it out and called Ma Luling to come closer. Ma Luling's eyes were reflecting the silver radiance of the pill. She realized it was absolutely captivating up close.
"Refine the Neo-Dawn Eclipse Pill."
The grand demonstration was about to begin!
