Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Chapter 4803: Success is at hand

Half a day later, Ling Han refined all the medicinal effects.

His improvement wasn’t great, and he had only raised the number of Regulations he could absorb to 87.

It could not be helped. The higher the cultivation level, the more difficult it was to improve. Moreover, the level of Celestial medicine that the Qiong Qi Emperor had used to lure him into a trap was also a little low. It was already quite impressive that he could grasp one more Regulation with it.

”Qiong Qi , Qiong Qi. No wonder, its name has the word ’poor’, so how could it possibly be generous?1”

Ling Han murmured to himself.

Not long after, the rock golem returned.

The two of them continued onwards, and began a very long roundabout journey.

By now, the Divine Beast Emperors would definitely be looking for Ling Han. Thus, he definitely could not take the ”normal” route. He could only circle around, circle around, and circle around again.

However, all the Great Emperors in the entire second level moved for Ling Han’s sake. In fact, even the Great Emperors in the first level actually appeared as well. Such a great commotion was merely for the sake of finding and killing a Saint.

No one would believe this if they heard about it. Since when had Great Emperors become so cheap? A whole group of them had actually been mobilized to kill a measly Saint?

However, Ling Han knew that if the Divine Stone corresponding to the Genesis World was a part of the Stone of Life, then he, Ding Shu and the others were seeds that the Great Emperor Wu Ya and the others had released many years ago.

Perhaps this was a step that had changed the structure of the Primitive Abyss. Thus, the thirty-six Divine Beasts were doing their best to stop his ”return”.

Ling Han had been channeling the Strange Shadow Steps the entire time, and the rock golem had stayed far away from him, so it wouldn’t expose him.

On the long journey, Ling Han discovered multiple Divine Beast Emperors streaking through the skies. They released their divine sense to search for him, but such a ”rough” search method naturally could not possibly find him.

After all, he too had Pseudo-Emperor-level battle prowess.

However, after a few more years, the search of the Great Emperors became even more meticulous. It was clear that they were determined to find him even if they had to dig three feet deep.

Under such circumstances, Ling Han didn’t dare to bring the rock golem along with him anymore.

This would very easily expose him.

He had the rock golem enter a stone forest, and wait there for his return.

Originally, the rock golem couldn’t possibly obey commands, but after Ling Han revived it, Ling Han’s influence on it increased several levels, and it was very easy to command it.

Ling Han once again advanced alone. Now that there was no longer any burden on him, his heart and spirit also relaxed.

Seven years later, he was finally discovered by a Great Emperor, who began to hunt him down. However, Ling Han used his full strength, and also summoned the Cold Water of Death, and finally managed to escape successfully.

He had repeatedly escaped from the hands of Great Emperors. If there was a record that was specifically targeted at this number, Ling Han reckoned that he would be able to reach the position of number one.

In the process of fleeing, Ling Han accidentally barged into a valley, and actually discovered a Genesis-level Celestial medicine.

”Does this mean that one will definitely have good fortune after surviving a great disaster?”

Ling Han laughed loudly, and naturally plucked the Celestial medicine without any reservations. Then, he began to refine the Celestial medicine.

This Celestial medicine contained a considerable amount of Genesis Substance, causing the number of Regulations that Ling Han had grasped to instantly increase to as many as 90. ȓ𝐚ɴȏ𝐛Ěᶊ

”How strong is my present battle prowess?” Ling Han murmured. Even if it was conventional battle prowess, he should still be superior to Buddha Doga, and could overwhelm all Pseudo-Emperors.

”But to match a Great Emperor... it is still a little lacking.”

Because this was not the first time he had come into contact with a Great Emperor, Ling Han was deeply aware of how strong a Great Emperor was.

Right now, he was still no match for a Great Emperor.

However!

Because his whereabouts had been discovered, even more Great Emperors had come to the vicinity these few days, and began a thorough search, forcing Ling Han to appear again.

Ling Han once again charged out of the siege, and moved unhindered in the vast Primitive Abyss.

Previously, when he had broken free from the pursuit of the Great Emperors, he had paid the price of severe injury, but this time, the injuries he had sustained were clearly much lighter.

This proved that his strength was steadily improving.

In the following few thousand years, Ling Han was constantly being hunted down and forced to break out of a siege.

He was continuously injured. At times, it would only be light injuries, but at other times, he would be severely injured. Under the tempering of such extremely arduous battles, his willpower had been tempered to an incredibly tough state, and his battle prowess was also stronger than ever before.

And in these few thousand years, it was not that he had not gained anything. Occasionally, he would still encounter Genesis-level Celestial medicines, and they would elevate his cultivation level step by step.

91 flashes, 92 flashes, 93 flashes... the number of Regulations he could accommodate was getting closer and closer to the limit, and he had still only undergone Silent Destruction four times.

This meant that once he broke through to the level of Pseudo-Emperor, in terms of cultivation level, he would be a five-star Pseudo-Emperor.

And in terms of battle prowess, hoho, that was definitely a true Emperor!

96... 97... 98!

Ling Han’s eyes suddenly snapped open, an expression of both excitement and disappointment appearing on his face.

Previously, he had also harvested another Genesis-level Celestial medicine. At first, he had thought that after refining the Celestial medicine, he would be able to rush up to the height of 99 Regulations, but after refining the Celestial medicine, he discovered that he was still a step away.

However, as long as he had the slightest bit of improvement now, he would reach the true limit of the Silent Destruction Tier.

He was only one step away.

Ling Han stood up abruptly. Not far ahead of him, a city that looked like a giant fish was in sight.

It looked like a fish, but also had a pair of wings, as if it could flap its wings and fly at any time, turning into a bird.

Roc?

No, it was Luoyu, one of the thirty-six Divine Beasts.

After so many years, Ling Han finally arrived at the third level.

He didn’t disguise himself, and he simply ran over. However, under the effects of the Strange Shadow Steps, even if he walked in front of Saints, it was guaranteed that no one would be able to see him.

Just like that, he boldly entered into Luoyu City.

At first, he only wanted to pass through, but after entering into the city, he discovered that this place was extraordinarily lively.

He listened to the discussions of the masses, and only then did he know that the disciple of the Great Emperor, Jiang Ling, had just returned. It was said that he had harvested a Genesis-level Great Herb. When the news spread out, it made all the people in Luoyu City excited.

This was a Genesis-level Great Herb, so it naturally would cause a commotion.

Ling Han couldn’t help but feel a jolt in his heart. If he could snatch this Celestial medicine, wouldn’t he be able to reach the peak stage of Saint Tier?

What a good person.

Hidden in the shadows, he listened to the praises of the masses, and soon found out where Jiang Ling was.

Then, he moved out.

It wasn’t long before the manor of the disciple of the Great Emperor appeared before him.

Ling Han climbed over the wall and entered silently.

Similar to the residences of other disciples of Great Emperors, this manor occupied a large area, but its layout was simple.

Because he couldn’t alert the Great Emperor, Ling Han didn’t even release his divine sense to probe the surroundings. Instead, he retracted his aura and acted like a ghost, using the Strange Shadow Steps.

After spending some time, he finally located Jiang Ling’s location.

This person was presently seated in a cross-legged position, and there was a Celestial medicine placed in front of him.

He was adjusting his condition. Only when he had reached his optimal condition would he consume the Celestial medicine, maximizing its effects.

After all, this was a Genesis-level Celestial medicine, and it was difficult to harvest even a single stalk in tens of thousands of years.

Ling Han smiled. This was really a great help to him.

He quietly set up a formation, imprisoning this area, preventing any commotion from being heard.

Then, he appeared, pushed open the doors and entered.

’Qiong’ literally translates to ’poor’ in Chinese.
