I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

Even the one-armed old man who was chasing Han Yi was unaware of it.

The fluctuation erupted from Emperor Fallen Sky Pond and swept across the four corners of the Immortal Realm.

It was only a few moments.

Then, unexpectedly, eight Ancestors descended, circling the periphery of Emperor Fallen Sky Pond, but they did not dare to step into it.

“Is that long knife being reawakened, indicating Their return?” a middle-aged man dressed in imperial robes and wearing a jade crown said in a low voice.

In his eyes, endless days and months of starry skies were reflected; where among those stars, myriad demons proliferated and thrived.

He was Donghuang Taiyi, the master of Donghuang Immortal Court.

Next to Donghuang Taiyi, was another middle-aged man possessing unparalleled might. His eyes illuminated with a unique divine light—the power to unify all worlds.

He was Di Jun.

Legend has it that in ancient times, Di Jun and Donghuang established the Evil Court. Back then, it was known as Di Jun Evil Court. However, after a few Yuan Gatherings, Di Jun retracted and Donghuang took over. The court was then renamed to Donghuang Evil Court.

No one answered Donghuang Taiyi’s question, even Di Jun who was by his side, remained silent.

Yuan Heavenly Emperor, the newest sovereign of the Daluo Fairy Court, had been granted recognition by all Ancestors due to his position and power.

In reality, two hundred thousand years ago.

No one knew the reason behind the demise of Yuan Heavenly Emperor, not even the Ancestors. By the time they arrived at the Sky Pond Mountain Ranges, they sensed great danger and thus did not rashly enter. Hence, they were unable to witness the events that unfolded inside.

When Sky Pond Mountain was destroyed, they entered only to find that the celestial sense of the Heavenly Emperor had vanished and the entire Immortal Sect was completely obliterated.

Even the ancient books of the Immortal Realm only guess at the truth. The most likely theory is that the Wisdom Realm Ninth Heavens had invaded.

Moreover,

After the destruction of the Heavenly Pond that year, they found the long knife once belonging to the Heavenly Emperor at the heart of the Heavenly Pond. This long knife surpassed any Dao Tool, making the Ancestors sense its danger and thus unwilling to take risks.

Afterward, the long knife concealed its aura. Although the Ancestors paid attention to it at first, by the end of the Yuan Gathering, they did not have much energy left to monitor it.

After surviving the disaster of the Yuan Gathering and after the eighth Yuan Gathering, they experienced the battle of the Wisdom Realm invasion. Two more Ancestors perished and although the long knife did not show any odd behavior during the Yuan Gathering, no other anomalies were associated with it. As time passed, everyone stopped caring.

Contributing to their surprise, after two hundred thousand years, the aura of the long knife re-emerged. This strongly implied the imminent return of the Heavenly Emperor, naturally drawing the Ancestors’ attention.

At that moment,

The disturbance hit the boundary of the Daluo Immortal Realm. To the west and north, was Endless Void, whilst to the south and east laid the Extraterrestrial Void Battlefield.

Then, the fluctuation began to recede until it re-entered the Emperor Fallen Sky Pond, where it continued to descend.

When the disturbance brushed past Han Yi on the periphery, it hesitated slightly for a moment. This minor change was too subtle for anyone to notice, not even for the Ancestors who were attentively observing from the outskirts.

Amid a chamber at the core of an island, a shadow above the gray long knife fell silent after a sigh.@@novelbin@@

“So that’s how it is.”

“So this is your choice?”

“But pinning your hopes on this outsider will make your chances of returning extremely slight.”

“Nevertheless, I respect your choice.”

After the phantom uttered these incomprehensible words, it transformed into a hazy light and returned to the gray long knife.

The small enclosed burial chamber once again descended into silence, just as it had been for two hundred thousand years, undisturbed.

Outside the Emperor Fallen Sky Pond,

The eight Ancestors waited for a while, observing the pond without any abnormalities. Then they finally dared to explore the depths of the Emperor Fallen Sky Pond using their immortal sense. They found that the long knife had once again fallen into silence, its wave disappeared.

A moment later, they prepared to leave.

Before leaving, a White Eyebrow Taoist glanced in a certain direction, his eyes briefly twinkling as he noticed Han Yi still fleeing.

“You again, you’re everywhere.”

“Hmm?”

“How come this kid has a trace of Ancient Evil aura on him?”

The White Eyebrow Taoist was the Age Candle Dao Ancestor.

As one of the Dao Ancestors, naturally, he would not constantly keep an eye on a minor Nascent Soul Cultivator. Nevertheless, he had some impressions of Han Yi.

The first time was in the Endless Void when Age Candle Dao Ancestor rescued several people from the body of an Ancient God, Han Yi included.

During that time, Age Candle did not pay much attention to this disciple of the Immortal Mansion.

The second time was during the Changsheng Fairy Meeting when Han Yi unexpectedly managed to pass through the projection barrier, following behind the disciples chosen by the Nine Great Immortal Realms Dao Ancestors.

When the Ancient World transformed and the Ferocious Sword’s Sword Intention fell rapidly, the Ancestors protected their disciples. Age Candle Dao Ancestor was no exception, and he protected two individuals.

One of them was his chosen disciple, Half-immortal Wei Sheng. Originally, Age Candle intended to use Wei Sheng to enter the real Ancient World to investigate its mysteries.

Yet, to his surprise, the Ancient World mutated and the Ancestors’ plans fell through.

After saving Han Yi, he casually erased the aura of Ancient God Visualization Skill from Han Yi’s body. With Han Yi’s transformation, Age Candle knew that Han Yi had realized the defect of the Visualization Skill. His action was more out of convenience.

Originally, he intended to exterminate the Wisdom Clan inside Han Yi, but in the end, he suddenly changed his mind and sealed it instead. Only when Han Yi’s cultivation reached the level of the Wisdom Clan would the latter be unsealed.

Now, he unexpectedly encountered Han Yi again at Emperor Fallen Sky Pond. He realized a trace of Ancient Evil aura was on Han Yi. Although this trace was extremely faint, he still noticed it.
