Chapter 1290 1284: NDAE, Fifth Product
Age!
The intrinsic aura of Wei Wuyin's life was put on full display, inevitably revealing his age to the world.
The Neo-Dawn Vortex-Zone Pellet may be able to accelerate one's rate of temporal progression relative to the typical standard, but the zone similarly accelerates one's soul's age and deteriorates their soulspan without change. If a cultivator spent a hundred years in accelerated time flow, they would age by a hundred years!
NINETY-FIVE!
NINETY-FIVE YEARS OLD!!!
While Wei Wuyin had an inconsistent aura throughout, such as his body's age wasn't consistent with his soul's age, this would only have been an issue if the body was considerably older, but Wei Wuyin's body was barely five months old. This likely meant that Wei Wuyin had just formulated a strange Astral Physique that likely utilized a form of Nascent Energy.
The usage of Nascent Energy to revitalize the physical body was often a tactic that female Evil Cultivators used to maintain their beauty and looks without signs of falsity, often relying on seduction and misguidance of their age and experience to lure in their prey. However, it wasn't exclusively meant for that as Nascent Energy had exceptional properties.
But none of that mattered! What did, however, was Wei Wuyin's age! It was extremely consistent with his rumored birth year!
What did this mean?
He hadn't used any form of accelerated time to progress in his practice of the Alchemic Dao or the progression of his cultivation base! What?!
"Five months..." A figure in an obscure corner of the World of Eden caught on to this detail. He instantly sent this information to a starfield far, far away.
Countless individuals had thought that Wei Wuyin's recent success made complete sense given that he was always talented as an alchemist since his Everlore Starfield days, and just like the King of Everlore, he was given gargantuan wings when he entered into a starfield rich in legacies and experience. Given several hundred years, he was bound to become an astonishing figure of the Alchemic Dao!
Now, they all had to reevaluate their thoughts as his true age was freely exposed.
Evergod's expression gradually grew increasingly darker by the second. There was a light of vicious light brewing within his gaze and a rampaging storm of rage, fear, and other negative emotions within his heart. Why? Because Wei Wuyin, at ninety-five, was positioning himself to concoct a product!
And as an Alchemic Saint, no, as an alchemist in general, how could he not deduce from the brought out materials that he was going to attempt to concoct a mystic-graded product? He would be a total freaking idiot if he didn't realize what the third feat was by now!
Unfortunately, the realization only exacerbated his negative emotions tenfold. A younger copy of the King of Everlore was something he could handle, someone who would live in his shadows, but...this was something entirely different.
If he succeeded...
No! He can't!
Wei Wuyin was a mere mortal, not someone in possession of an Alchemic Soul, so there was ABSOLUTELY no chance that he could successfully concoct a mystic-graded product. After all, the successful concoction of a product wasn't limited to simply based on skill or converted energy quality! For those of the Mystic-Rank, one had to resist the active backlash of energies while simultaneously exerting a level of fine control of the materials' essences and energies through the seven aspects of alchemy-Extraction, Growth, Containment, Refinement, Creation, Transformation, and Fusion.
A mortal couldn't handle mystic-graded materials and process them through each of those difficult stages without a Mystic Soul or an Alchemic Astral Soul! As an Alchemic Saint, he could proudly say that this was a law that couldn't be defied within the Dao of Alchemy!Why was this the case? He didn't know, but he knew it was the case!
Of course, Wei Wuyin was fully aware of why; the agreements and harmony of the Daos were why, and there were certain limitations in place to prevent an unnecessary overlap. Only by using the Alchemic Dao or other forms of accepted unions could the Mortal and Mystic Dao be unified seamlessly, allowing mortals to perform feats meant for those of Ascended beings!
However, Wei Wuyin never had to consider trying to defy the Daos to break this rule; he already possessed an Alchemic Soul!
Lin Xianxei's eyes brightened again, and her lips couldn't resist smiling with wild anticipation. She held her two hands against her chest. The thought of Wei Wuyin trying to achieve this to finalize his first expo was heart-pounding! For some odd reason, she believed he could!
Yang Chaoyue's heart was pounding with even greater ferocity than Lin Xianxei's. She was already aware of Wei Wuyin's age and the Neo-Dawn Vortex-Zone Pellet, but she was not aware of him trying to concoct a mystic-graded product!
"There's no way!" Tian Shangyang exclaimed disbelievingly, his jaws nearly dropping as Wei Wuyin calmly continued to extract ample ingredients for his concoction. By now, he recognized quite a few of them, such as a Mystic-World Essence Stone, and they were all mystic-graded!
"Luo Ning...I can understand-the King of Everlore achieved it with his Alchemic Astral Soul with no trailblazers or legacies to speak of, and Luo Ning had every advantage with proven talent that had been abandoned and unrealized. But Wei Wuyin..." Tian Muyang was so shaken that he forgot to address Wei Wuyin using his title.
"Can he do it?!" Tian Lingyu asked as she wet her lips with her pink tongue. Luo Ning's ascension was a shocker, but Wei Wuyin was merely ninety-five years old! Her eyes fixated on that handsome figure with an unconcerned light of admiration, passion, and desire.
"If he does," Tian Dingjian arrived within the Imperial Clan's area heside Tian Lingyu, no longer trying to conceal herself through isolation, and continued: "The heavens will be overturned."
While the hype surrounding Wei Wuyin was elevating with each passing second, none was aware that Wei Wuyin had an Alchemic Astral Soul. He had already overturned the heavens by maintaining his combat abilities! By surviving the Calamities of Hell as a Mortal! By challenging The World! By peering into the Heavenly Daos! By becoming the FIRST-EVER Mortal Saint Alchemist! By! By! By!
Wei Wuyin's entire existence seemed to be defying the heavens and all expectations that it may have! Since the day he inherited the Bloodline of Sin, to him, he had no other way to survive!
Wei Wuyin finished compiling all the materials needed for his product. They were all at the Mystic-Earth grade, varying from low to peak in quality, excluding the single Mystic-World Essence Stone, but they were all essential. He took a slow, steady breath as he readied himself. All outside influences were blocked and his mind gained an unprecedented state of calm.
Briefly, he visualized a shadowy figure that had always towered over him unknowingly. Every step he took, whether he'd like to admit it or not was in constant comparison, and had never been able to exceed him.
While Wei Wuyin became a Mortal Saint Alchemist, the King of Everlore concocted a ninth-grade product at the Qi Condensation Realm!While Wei Wuyin had created heaven-defying products, was the Everlore Ascension Pill not the most heaven-defying product there was?When Wei Wuyin acquired the King of Everlore's legacy from the Everlore Vault, he came to realize that the King of Everlore was by no means ordinary! While his feats seemed exceptional, few knew that he had concocted a product that assisted him in overcoming the Mystic Ascension Realm!
The Everlore Mortal Ascension Pill!
This was a Mystic-World grade product!!
What did this mean?
The King of Everlore didn't just concoct a ninth-grade product at the Qi Condensation Realm, but he concocted a Mystic-World graded product as a STARLORD!
AS A MORTAL!!!
As for why the King of Everlore didn't trigger his Worldly Awakening of a True Saint at that time, only happening years later, it was likely because the King of Everlore simply contained the phenomenon! This wasn't impossible, and there were many ways to do so. Perhaps he had a treasure or spell to do so? Regardless, he had! And twice at that!
Wei Wuyin had to admit-the man deserved to be King.
But today, Wei Wuyin was no longer willing to take it slow' and sit within his shadow. Fairly, he sought to escape.
Today, he rose above that shadow to cast his own! Perhaps they'll stand shoulder to shoulder, or perhaps not, but Wei Wuyin had no intentions to hide his brilliance any longer nor claim an unfair advantage by hiding who he was.
"Are you ready?" Wei Wuyin calmly asked.
"Yes!" Eden replied.
Within Wei Wuyin's Sea of Consciousness, Eden's Star Core started to exude seven-colored brilliant light exuding the aura of the Alchemic Dao!
From Wei Wuyin's dantian, two Astral Souls roared to life! Ori and King began to exert their aura, causing the stage to rumble as if a thunderbolt had erupted! His hair and robes danced and bellowed about wildly as if assaulted by rampant winds.
BOOSH!!
"...!!!" The crowd stood there stunned.
"What?!" The Boundless Martial High King's eyes bulged as he leaned back, his scholarly look ruined by the sheer shock on his face!
The Soul Saint King's heart almost stopped.
The Fated Royalty and their overseer all froze.
The elites of the starfield, all the Ascended beings, and countless that understood what they were seeing all felt as if lightning had struck their souls. Three?
Wei Wuyin...
...was emitting the auras of three Astral Souls!
And one of them! ONE OF THEM WAS!!!
Wei Wuyin summoned forth his Alchemic Starforce, bringing with its the utmost purity that rivaled even Earthly Saints! He grabbed a material and proceeded to execute his Extraction Cultivation Method!
Today, during the concoction of the fifth product, Wei Wuyin revealed his Alchemic Soul to the world!
