I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy
Chapter 1404 - Chapter 1404 Chapter 590 Ascending the Ninth Realm Wan Mings

Chapter 1404: Chapter 590: Ascending the Ninth Realm, Wan Ming’s First Contest_2 Chapter 1404: Chapter 590: Ascending the Ninth Realm, Wan Ming’s First Contest_2 But in the time it takes a spark to fly, he had no time to ponder thoroughly, and with a step, he darted among hundreds of weapons.

Thud!

Unable to dodge in time, a heavy halberd grazed by, wounding his arm, but in an instant, the arm recovered, because this body of his was condensed from the Qi of Wan Ming and not corporeal.

On the first page of the Wan Ming Tome, the middle-aged Immortal looked at Han Yi, his eyes revealing a change.

With a wave of his hand, the myriad thrusting weapons naturally dissipated.

“You, have you cultivated the Wan Ming Tome?”

“I mean, the true legacy of the Wan Ming Tome, not the Nether Slave Chapter, right?”

The middle-aged Immortal suddenly became excited.

But Han Yi merely showed a trace of realization and said softly,

“You recognize me?”

“Are you the Wan Ming Immortal Sovereign?”

“What you have practiced isn’t the true legacy of the Wan Ming Tome, or to say, you haven’t received the true legacy of this supreme treasure, but only the chapter meant to cultivate Nether Slaves, the Nether Slave Chapter?”

Han Yi’s tone was questioning but from the Wan Ming Tome, the middle-aged man’s expression drastically changed, and he knew his guess was right.

The instant recognition might be because of his past grievances with Dai Zhe, who, as an incarnation of Wan Ming, would have experiences comprehended by his true self, so recognizing him was not strange.

Additionally, it could be due to Han Yi’s fame spread far and wide.

The appearance that Han Yi manifested at this moment was his original appearance, he had not altered his appearance, and after ascending to Immortal Monarch, in the Daluo Immortal Realm, he was regarded as a notable figure. It was not surprising that one of many incarnations of Wan Ming Immortal Sovereign would recognize him.

“So that’s how it is.”

“This is why you can’t die.”

“With the Wan Ming Tome, should you perish, your consciousness would return to the Wan Ming space, and you could choose a new Wan Ming incarnation to merge with and revive.”

“And this supreme treasure, transcending a Tao Artifact, placed in a concealed location by you and unique in its nature, even if the Ancestor were to act, he would not be able to find it.”

Upon saying this, Han Yi realized that his vision was blurring again.

He knew his time was up.

His current refinement level of the Wan Ming Tome was still the Semi-Immortal Chapter, and similarly he held the attribute of a Nether Slave, far inferior to the Wan Ming Immortal Sovereign.

However, because what he had cultivated was derived from his panel calculations, its essence was much more sophisticated than that of Wan Ming Immortal Sovereign, bridging the gap brought about by the difference in realms.

He had a premonition that the next time he leveled up the Nether Slave Chapter to the tenth realm, there would definitely be significant changes.

Once his vision had refocused, he took a long look at Wan Ming Immortal Sovereign, who appeared as a middle-aged man, and glanced over several nearby ethereal figures, memorizing several faces before the Wan Ming Qi that had formed his incarnation suddenly shook and dispersed.

In the Wan Ming space, atop the Wan Ming Tome,

Wan Ming Immortal Sovereign watched Han Yi’s dissipating body, reached forward to grab, but all he caught was the soulless Qi of Wan Ming–Han Yi had already left this mysterious supreme treasure space.

“The true legacy of the Wan Ming Tome.”

“Han Yi.”

“Even if you come from an astounding background, this time, I will capture you.”

“If I acquire the true legacy of the Wan Ming Tome, with my foundations, I will no longer be trapped at the Immortal Venerate realm, but will directly ascend to Ancestor, and moreover, become one of the topmost among Ancestors.”

“Then, no matter how astonishing your origins are, I will have no need to fear you.”

Wan Ming Immortal Sovereign took a deep breath, glanced around, and with a thought, prepared to investigate the circumstances of Ming Luo Hall Master’s demise.

As the primary entity, Wan Ming Immortal Sovereign naturally could inspect the condition of any incarnation freely.

However, this time, he found no clues whatsoever, as that incarnation had completely vanished without leaving behind even a fragment of memory.

This was quite abnormal.

After pondering for a long time, he could only attribute the reason to Han Yi’s uniqueness, murmuring somberly:

“Han Yi!”

Immediately after, his consciousness withdrew, and the incarnation transformed back into Qi of Wan Ming, ethereally standing atop the Wan Ming Tome.

After he left,

within the Wan Ming space, the Wan Ming Tome slowly closed again.

This mysterious treasure, originating from Chaos, had for countless ages remained unrefined by anyone.

…

Elsewhere,

After consciousness had returned, Han Yi did not immediately move, but instead began to ponder.

“The Wan Ming Tome.”

“What kind of supreme treasure is this, exactly?”

His eyes flickered with interest, attracted not only by the treasure itself but also by a particular efficacy associated with this supreme treasure.

Han Yi’s panel required continual investment of time and effort to increase the proficiency and, thus, the level of a skill or Immortal Skill.

Observing the Wan Ming Immortal Sovereign, who had countless incarnations, if Han Yi obtained the Wan Ming Immortal Sovereign, he could directly use these incarnations as ‘engines’ to focus solely on increasing proficiency, dismissing all other matters.

Thus, what originally might take hundreds or even thousands of years to elevate an Immortal Skill to the seventh-order could, with tens of thousands of incarnations working together, potentially be achieved in just a few years, or even months.

His strength would surely surge tremendously.

In a short period, becoming an Immortal Venerate seemed within reach, and becoming an Ancestor plausible.

At this thought, a surge of ecstasy welled up within him, but he soon regained his composure.

It was too early to get ahead of himself.

After calming down, he reconsidered the Immortal Fight he had faced against the Ming Luo Hall Master and the Wan Ming Incarnations he saw within the Wan Ming space.

Although their appearances were somewhat blurred, upon careful scrutiny, he was fairly certain of their identities.

Once he returned to the Daluo Immortal Realm, with proper preparations, he would surely be able to slay these Wan Ming Incarnations. Then, by devouring them with the Wan Ming Tome, he would definitely breakthrough to the True Immortal Chapter.

Upon reaching the True Immortal Chapter, Han Yi had an intuition that the current Nether Slave chapter might undergo new changes.

Otherwise, it would not be so difficult to advance. Just being a Half-Immortal was already extremely challenging for him as an Immortal Monarch, and he dared not even imagine how the Wan Ming Immortal Sovereign managed to cultivate to the level of Immortal Venerate.

Therefore, he speculated that the Nether Slave chapter of the Wan Ming Tome he was cultivating was not the same lineage as the Wan Ming Dao Slave chapter mentioned by the Wan Ming Immortal Sovereign.

Having secured the Green Reed Sword, Han Yi left the Immortal Ring and returned to Lake of Ten Thousand Spirits. Emerging from the lake’s surface and determining his direction, he headed towards the location where Jin Ming resided.

Speaking of which,

The time he spent on intervening this time was longer, and the encounters with Ming Luo Hall Master led to a fierce battle, then being pulled into Wan Ming space, yet it all lasted less than half an hour, which was not long at all.

When he arrived back at the shore of Lake of Ten Thousand Spirits, he saw Jin Ming and Silver Sparrow, who had been anxiously waiting.

Han Yi simply said, “I encountered Ming Luo Hall Master and Shu Li Immortal Monarch, and I’ve taken care of them,” before merging into Jin Ming’s Immortal Spirit Realm.

Silver Sparrow was puzzled, but Jin Ming was overjoyed.

“It’s done,”

“Haha, even the Ming Luo Hall Master is resolved; now there are no more worries for Nine Sparrows Hall.”

“I’m finally free,”

This moment marked the fulfillment of a promise he had made long ago.

As his words ended, Jin Ming’s body relaxed, his aura suddenly changing–it was a release from shackles, like a fish leaping into the water, freed.

To Jin Ming, coming to Ten Thousand Spirits Sect was a massive tribulation; now that he had transcended it, he was naturally reborn, with his cultivation progressing.

Silver Sparrow Immortal Monarch, standing to the side, went from confusion to stunned silence, then disbelief turned to shock, her pupils dilating as she gazed upon Jin Ming, seized him excitedly, and said:

“Is this true? Is it really true?”

“Ming Luo Hall Master is dead, Shu Li Immortal Monarch as well.”

“Nine Sparrows Hall won’t be annihilated?”

Jin Ming understood the deep fixation of this seasoned Immortal Monarch and nodded emphatically.

“Yes, just as you said, Ming Luo Hall is finished; Nine Sparrows Hall has overcome the crisis,” he confirmed.

As Jin Ming finished speaking, Silver Sparrow Immortal Monarch suddenly began to cry like a mortal, her sobs earth-shattering. Jin Ming swiped the air with one hand, cutting open the space to prevent her cries from spreading and being discovered.

However, he did not stop the elderly Immortal Monarch from venting through tears.

He understood such obsession.

If his sect encountered a disaster of this magnitude and was reborn after eight thousand years, he too would experience the same intense emotions.

After a stick of incense had burned down, Jin Ming, accompanied by a pale-faced Silver Sparrow Immortal Monarch, caught up to the Immortal Boat of Nine Sparrows Hall and retracted his Immortal Power Incarnation, heading straight for Fierce Sun Mountain.
