Chapter 1640 - Chapter 1640 Chapter 706 Age Candles Gratification The True

Chapter 1640: Chapter 706: Age Candle’s Gratification, The True Saint’s Pride Chapter 1640: Chapter 706: Age Candle’s Gratification, The True Saint’s Pride Demon Witch Mountain.

Han Yi calculated that in just over a hundred years, he could condense the Tao Fruit and ascend to the second step in the Tao Realm. His heart was greatly uplifted.

In the Ancient Great World, relying on numerous low-level Immortals and Immortal Monarchs and Venerates, he had estimated that it would take approximately seven thousand years to complete the remaining 70/100 progress, meaning one point of progress required a hundred years.

Now, under the pressure of crisis and urgency, he quickly changed his strategy. In ten years, he traveled through nearly half of the Daoist God Continent and “developed” three hundred and ninety Tao Realms, using the Wan Ming Tome and the panel to have these Tao Realms provide Skill Level.

As a result, his comprehension of the Tao scriptures had increased to a rate of one point of progress every two years, which was a fiftyfold improvement.

In comparison to the amount of Skill Level provided, the millions of Wan Ming Incarnations he had developed in the Ancient Great World were equivalent to eight Tao Realms.

This was the vast chasm between ordinary Immortals and those in the Tao Realm.

In reality, this was normal; after all, from the countless cultivators and Immortals in the Ancient Great World, only a few dozen Tao Realms would eventually be born.

This was also why Han Yi had chosen the Wan Ming Incarnations, selecting the best among the rest; otherwise, the discrepancy in proportions would have been even greater.

He didn’t continue to develop Wan Ming Incarnations in the Tao Realm outside but instead cultivated on Demon Witch Mountain.

He could afford to wait a hundred years.

However, merely thirty years later, a message reached his cultivation palace. Han Yi’s expression shifted as he walked out of the palace, out of the protective Array of Demon Witch Mountain.

He then stood on the edge of Chaos, bowing toward a figure at the top of Demon Witch Mountain.

That figure was the Third Mountain Master of Jian’s Demon Witch Mountain, Wangxi Mountain Master.

Immediately,

he vanished into Chaos and half a minute later, in the Chaotic area on the outskirts of Demon Witch Mountain, he met with Age Candle Heavenly Venerate.

The previous message was relayed by Wangxi Mountain Master, and its content was that Age Candle Heavenly Venerate wanted to see Han Yi.

After all, Demon Witch Mountain was a Chaos Level major force, and Age Candle Heavenly Venerate found it inappropriate to enter within, so he conveyed the message to Wangxi Mountain Master to have him summon Han Yi out.

In the Land of Nothingness, Han Yi was quite excited to see Age Candle Heavenly Venerate.

“Greetings, Heavenly Venerate.”

This was his first face-to-face conversation with Age Candle Heavenly Venerate in over four thousand years. The last time they spoke was when the Nine Realms were unified, and the Heavenly Tao issued a warning. Purgatory Island and Void Demon Palace were covetously eyeing the Age Candle Immortal Court. Age Candle Heavenly Venerate emerged from Chaos, bearing the majesty of a Heavenly Sovereign, preventing the two major forces from acting rashly.

At that time, Han Yi was only in the Taiyi Realm, not even an Immortal Monarch.

“Good, good, good.”

“Han Yi, you’ve ascended to the Tao Realm so quickly, truly worthy of the name of a heaven’s pride.”

“By the way, how did you join Demon Witch Mountain? What’s the situation like with the Immortal Court now?”

Although he had made arrangements in the Immortal Court, being separated by three Tao Domains, even as a Heavenly Sovereign, Age Candle could not sense the situation in the Immortal Court.

“Over seventy years ago, when I left, everything was fine in the Immortal Court.”

“In these thousands of years, it’s been Myriad Calamities and Xuan Zang who have been sitting in control within the Immortal Court…”

Han Yi began to slowly recount what had happened to the Immortal Court and to himself over the years.

He spoke in great detail about the affairs of the Immortal Court, but glossed over his personal matters.

When he spoke about the fall of the Yuandao World into the Kunlun Territory, how Han Yi entered and seized many treasures, Age Candle Heavenly Venerate cheered loudly.

When the conversation shifted to the restart of the expedition and his actions in the Eternal Wisdom Great World, Age Candle Heavenly Venerate slowly let out a breath as if a weight had been lifted from his heart.

When Han Yi recounted how Xuan Zang Taoist Ancestor returned from Chaos severely wounded, plummeting down, and the Elder of the Void Demon Palace headed south, Age Candle Heavenly Venerate’s face flashed with ferocity.

And when he detailed how Han Yi, at the first step of the Tao Realm, forcefully killed a Dao Fruit Level expert of the Void Demon Palace, Age Candle Heavenly Venerate’s face showed immense relief.

…

It took almost half an incense sticks’ worth of time for Han Yi to finish recounting the events of these years at the Immortal Court and his own experiences.

Forty years ago, when he saw Age Candle Heavenly Venerate at the Dao God Sect, Han Yi had guessed that the reason Age Candle Heavenly Venerate had been uncontactable for thousands of years was because he was committed to connecting Boundary Heart calculations, unable to attend to other matters, nor could he divide his attention elsewhere.

If Age Candle Heavenly Venerate was so preoccupied, other Heavenly Sovereigns were likely in the same state, including Donghuang Taiyi, and the Heavenly Sovereigns of Purgatory Island and Void Demon Palace were also unaware of what had happened in the Ancient Great World.

Han Yi expected that he was the first cultivator to traverse three Tao Domains from the Ancient Great World to the Daoist God Continent, and without the help of Jian’s Demon Witch Mountain, it would not have been so simple for him to arrive here.

Just the Chaotic Ancient Dao Domain alone could stop most in the Daoist Fruit Realm or the Outer Path Realm in their tracks. The dangers there were everywhere, and one careless moment could lead to being killed on the spot by a passing Chaos and disorder powerhouse, which would be like dying in vain.

The rich changes in Age Candle Heavenly Venerate’s expression, though a Heavenly Sovereign capable of maintaining a calm appearance despite turbulent emotions within, showed his true self in front of Han Yi. This revealed the trust he had in Han Yi.

After Han Yi finished speaking, Age Candle Heavenly Venerate took a few moments to calm his emotions before slowly speaking:

“You’ve done very well.”

“I wasn’t wrong about you.”

“Next, we will return to the Ancient realm. Do you plan to go back, or will you stay here?”

Age Candle Heavenly Venerate did not directly take Han Yi away but asked his wishes. Han Yi’s future was immeasurable, and it’s possible the next time they met, Han Yi could be a Heavenly Sovereign as well.

With the advent of Chaos calamities also came the rise of Heaven Defying Cultivators. This Age Candle Heavenly Venerate understood fully through Han Yi.

Without hesitation, Han Yi nodded and said, “Naturally, I will follow the Heavenly Venerate, returning to the Heavenly Court.”
