Chapter 1273 1267: NDAE, Birth Of Thirty-Three
"I present to you..." Tian Xiaocheng flourished her sleeves beautifully, gesturing toward the corners of the stage with a charming smile, and timely followed by an eruption of thirty-three vortexes of seven- colored light. A tempestuous aura surged outwards that caused those observing to feel buffeted by a whirlwind of fragrance and power.
"What's that?!" The question resounded endlessly as the thirty-three vortexes surrounded Tian Xiaocheng in a unique array that resembled a whirling spiral with her at the center.
Tian Xiaocheng's voice rose as she announced: "The Defiant Creation Association's Alchemy Division-The Hepta-Dawn Corps!" At the end of herannouncement, her voice was subconsciously tinged with an emotional quiver that was hard to conceal.???"The thirty-three Emperor Alchemists personally selected and carefully trained by the Ascendant Emperor of Neo-Dawn, blessed with obtaining the Neo-Dawn Alchemic Lineage's legacy!" Tian Xiaocheng stood upright as she finished, looking outwards as the curiosity, confusion, shock, and disbelieving gazes descended upon her body, numbering the quintillions. She could feel their questions.
Suddenly, the vortexes began to grow clearer by the second. They revealed the insides of each, which were thirty-three individuals, a total of twenty men and thirteen women, who were frozen in time as they were hovering over high-quality cauldrons, holding hand seals, withAlchemic Tables with extracted material husks laid to the side.
"They're frozen?!"???"Are they in the middle of concocting?"
"Those materials...aren't they peak Astral- graded materials? The Waterfall Lily? The Seed of the Grand Oak! That's a peak earth- attributed astral material! I know that's-"
They began to roar with speculation as the Proximity Link and Projection Link began to unify the World of Eden. The relevant speculations were curated and heard by all, while the nonsensical drivel was filtered out, an act of impeccable control and distinction. This only served to liven the atmosphere as those of authority answered questions of the young or ignorant.
Lin Xianxei's mood had darkened earlier, but after seeing the awe-inspiring vortexes with Emperor Alchemist frozen in place mid-concoction, she put her feelings aside as her interest was piqued to its limits. She leaned forward as she operated the intricate links to get a closer look.???"Isn't that Alchemic Emperor Yi Yun? And Li Che? And Weng Yinyin!" Lin Ming had once learned of all the Emperor Alchemists of the Alchemist Association, having met them at some point in his journey as well, and he was stunned by seeing them here.
"Li Che? Yi Yun! They were both judges of the All-Alchemic Clash between Qingye Ying and Wei Wuyin before!"???Those who bore witness to the first grand utterance of the title 'Ascendant Emperor Wei' began to relieve that astonishing and breathtaking memory. Those who were present could remember how their blood boiled after Wei Wuyin dominated the Princess of Everlore, cementing himself as an era-defining figure. Since the separation that split the inhabitants of the Everlore Starfield, some of these figures had vanished. Considering it had been half a century and they still had yet to forget that glorious day was evidence of how impactful it was on their lives.
Lin Xianxei's eyes grew soft with emotional nostalgia. In less than half a century, Wei Wuyin went from a relatively unknown figure of the Myriad Yore Continent to a prestigious existence, rising from the Myriad Monarch Sect, entering the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region, and creating his own starfield.
The events that had unfolded had led her to believe that so much more time had passed, yet it was so short, almost insignificant to cultivators, and Wei Wuyin had achieved so much. It was hard not to feel awed by his journey thus far. She even recalled her shamelessness when she spread the rumor of him being her fiancée, causing her to blush with embarrassment. Especially after remembering their conversation after she was discovered as the perpetrator, suggesting that he would immediately agree if she wanted to be his concubine.
At the time, she had her pride to consider and flatly refused without much thought. But now, even if she wanted to be his concubine, how many peerless beauties would be fighting for that spot? What could she offer that they couldn't? While she pondered this in frustration, unaware of how her thinking was shifting, the rest of the crowd grew restless.???This was especially so for the Everlore Association. They were all experienced Alchemists, recognizing the materials withease.
"Isn't that Weng Yinyin? Isn't she the Alchemic Soul alchemist that was kicked out of the Imperial Clan due to herconstant failures and waste of resources? Isn't that Jiang Hu? The Jiang Clan's Emperor Alchemist that was shamefully exiled for concocting ten thousand impure eighth-grade products in a row in two hundred years? What is he doing with these alchemists?" San Yongli asked San Luoyang.???Due to her losing her alchemic legacy after sacrificing the Cauldron of Utmost Awakening, she had placed that on the back burner in her training, focusing more on her comprehensive combat strengths and innate talents, so she was not at the Mortal Sovereign Alchemist level of knowledge, but her knowledge of alchemists at varying levels was plentiful. The majority of those Alchemic Emperors were notable failures throughout the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region that were more or less abandoned due to their incompetence, with only a few originating from the fallen Everlore Starfield.
San Luoyang's expression was considerably dark, "They're all in the process of concocting a low-tier, ninth-grade product; the rate of time has been slowed to a near standstill at the last stage of concoction- the fusion stage."???"What?!" San Yongli was astonished. Thirty- three Emperor Alchemists at the last stage of a ninth-grade concoction? Isn't this...
Before she or anyone else could react, Tian Xiaocheng brought everyone's attention back to her exceptional existence with an alluring smile, "The first Alchemic Emperor is Li Che, the-" she began to introduce each Emperor Alchemist by their details and titles, answering countless questions, and then she said: "They are all currently being isolated by a Zone-Vortex of Space and Time, with some tweaking, we were able to slow down the rate of time within by one-thousandth of its normal flow. For us, a thousand seconds is a single second for them.???As she explained, those with keen eyes began to notice that those inside the vortexes were indeed moving extremely slowly. A concoction was a delicate process to start with, so alchemists often took their time; that's why it seemed slower than a snail's pace.
"There are limitations to the zone generated by the Neo-Dawn Vortex-Zone Pellet, however. Firstly, it is not eternal in existence; the pellet, from first to ninth grade, can only last up to a limit of ten days before automatically dispersing, but it sustains itself without external assistance. This can be increased by combining equally graded pellets.???"To properly illustrate: eight ninth-grade products used together can turn eighty days into eight hundred days, a little over two whole years! There is no limit to which you can keep it active. Additionally, the rate of lifespan consumption is consistent with the time experienced within. Your body and soul will age.
"However, be warned that you shouldn't continuously enter and exit a vortex as the dissonance can cause you to lose your sense of time and space, subject to a different rate of perceivable reality. So it's better to keep sessions as one with at least six months between each to regulate your senses.???"It can also be used to slow down time, which could act as a way to enter an artificial stasis or a life-saving tool. The height of slowing down the rate of time is a hundred times, so even a first-grade product can become a hundredth of a second within for every second outside. Of course, this only applies to the Spiritual Anchor within the vortex. Those not anchored will have considerably reduced effects for both speeding up and slowing down the rate of time within." Tian Xiaocheng explained and caused the misunderstanding of it being a one-and- done eternal training chamber.???A few aged elites sighed with relief. If this product existed without a limit, then they would forever be grounded beneath the future generations' feet. Fortunately, everything had a price, and a ninth-grade product wasn't so easily affordable. At most, only the top-tier factions would be able to speed up their training a little.
This was especially so for Tian Guyan. When he heard about the product, he was deathly afraid of Tian Yinwu and his half- sister, Tian Xiaolu, obtaining it. He could simply bow out of the upcoming imperial competition if it was a single pellet for infinite years.???"For the demonstration of its effects," Tian Xiaocheng gestured toward the thirty-three vortexes, her eyes shining brightly as she said: "We'll be displaying how it doesn't affect one of the most attention-intensive activities in the great world of cultivation, CONCOCTION!"
SNAP!
She brought her thumb and middle finger together, held up her slender arm, and snapped them together! The resounding sound seemed to act as a trigger as the vortexes began to stir with rampant energy, changing the rate of time within, and suddenly the time that was considerably slowed down began to speed up rapidly.
From the Everlore Association's side, San Luoyang sighed openly. "So this is why we can't win in terms of lower-graded products..."???"What?" A young King Alchemist was taken aback by the Tri-Vision Alchemic Saint's words, but he got no response as the world began to tremble.
The thirty-three Alchemic Emperors were all focusing wholeheartedly on completing the last stage of their ninth-grade concoction!
"What ambition! Does he think they'll all succeed?!" Tian Shangyang instantly grew riled as he knew what Wei Wuyin was trying to do! The earlier announcement of this Defiant Creation Association might have gotten understated and unnoticed by many, but it was the most crucial detail!
The Neo-Dawn Alchemic Lineage's legacy?!???Wasn't this demonstration doubling as a way to showcase his ability to nurture talent? Moreover, many of these alchemists were discarded and abandoned by the Everlore Association or various prominent alchemist associations and forces throughout the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region.
Wasn't this outwardly suggesting that, while they were unable to nurture these failures of the Dao of Alchemy, his legacy could turn trash into treasure?!
BOOM!
pαndα`noν?1--сoМ Abruptly, the first alchemist, Yi Yun, completed the last stage of the alchemical process at an accelerated rate! The vortex erupted and dissipated as the World of Eden began to tremble!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Three more vortexes collapsed!???Weng Yinyin was among the three!
The World of Eden's center stage began to produce astonishing, infinitely mysterious images.
"Is that a Moon?!"
"No! IT'S A PLANET!"
"OH, MY HEAVENS!! A STAR!"
Countless exclaimed as they each saw varied images of the ongoing phenomena, with new moons, planets, and stars forming within the center stage. Fortunately, they were mere observers.
Eventually, all thirty-three vortexes collapsed!???"THIRTY-THREE STELLAR MANIFESTATIONS OF A MORTAL SOVEREIGN!" The voice in Lin Ming's mind resounded like thunder in shock anddisbelief. A sight that no one in the entire Sealed Regions had ever seen before was unfolding before their very eyes.
The birth of thirty-three Mortal Sovereign Alchemists!
