Alchemy Convention Commences!
Light shone from the plane in the distance. Wisps of light brought Alchemy City to life. A will spawned. It was the day countless geniuses arrived for the alchemy convention! The winner would go down in history. Every alchemist wanted to claim the throne. Some geniuses prepared for decades for the convention to attain fame, glory and prove their King of Alchemy will. The city was packed since yesterday. Voices filled every corner and never rested. There were tens of thousands of people at the heart of the city.
Heat energy came from the enormous plaza at the centre. A palace, where big names from various sects stayed, floated above the plaza.
Yang Tian arrived at the door in his black garments. He looked at the vital essence deities in the sky. The deities would forge a King of Alchemy will for the victor. He touched his nose and headed in.
Producing a rank seven pill before thirty proved one could become a rank eight alchemist! There hadn’t been legendary rank nine alchemists on Sun Continent in ages. Those who could reach the realm were celestial dao cultivators.
Yang Tian saw a rather impressive youth step out from a building. Yang Tian frowned and headed over to an elder. “Elder, what are the people doing here? They appear as though they are from big clans.”
The elder zealously explained, “This is the testing room. Those who pass can participate in the alchemy convention. Look how amazing everyone is.”
“There is an extra test?”
“Of course. What do you take this place for? If some stooge wet behind the ears starts trouble, it’ll impact the convention’s development.”
“How do we enter?”
“Just head straight in…” The elder answered absentmindedly, not believing ignorant Yang Tian would take the test. “It sure is nice to be young…”
When Yang Tian walked in, the elder remarked, “What’s the moron going in for? You’ll be punished if your Divine Soul energy hasn’t reached Soul Refinement.
Yang Tian: I’d have missed out if it wasn’t thanks to the old man.
A middle-aged man welcomed Yang Tian as soon as he entered. Due to Yang Tian’s attire, he asked for confirmation, “You are here to participate in the alchemy convention?”
Yang Tian nodded as he surveyed the interior where there were lots of secret rooms for tests. The man then got serious because Yang Tian didn’t respond. “Which clan do you hail from?”
Yang Tian shrugged. “Self-taught. No sect.”
Since he didn’t receive a response, Yang Tian queried, “I want to take the test. Where do I go?”
“Come with me!” The man spun around and said to himself, Mess with me, and I’ll butcher you, kid!
The man’s frustration put a grin on Yang Tian’s face. They entered a dark room with a black rock. Said rock had plenty of cracks after someone hit it. The man explained, “This is black gold crystal. You just need to hit it with your best shot using your Divine Soul energy. You pass if you can leave a crack.”
Yang Tian displayed his Divine Soul energy that stupefied the man. The man snapped out of it. Since the rock looked the same as before, he was going to fly off the handle until the rock shattered! He froze! He was too amazed. “You shattered it?!”
Yang Tian shrugged innocently. “Didn’t you tell me to hit it? I didn’t know it was so fragile. You’re not going to ask me to pay for it, are you?”
“Impossible… Ahaha, well, if it’s shattered. We have plenty of them. Don’t worry about it.” The man thought, He must be a rank seven alchemist. Surely…
“Oh, are there any other procedures? If not, I will take my leave.”
“Senior, wait for me. I will be back right away. I am going to grab you a token.” The man nodded frantically and sped out.
Yang Tian rubbed his head, thinking being called “senior” was amusing.
The man came back with a shiny golden token. The number 742 was carved on it. That meant there had to be over seven hundred rank seven alchemists participating alone.
Yang Tian headed to the plaza at the centre. The elder from before was flabbergasted to see him emerge with a token representing that he passed. Everyone was jealous and envious. He just shrugged and walked past the seated people. When he noticed the girl from the devil race, he switched his flip again, wondering, What does she want to participate for?
The answer hit Yang Tian when he put together Yun’er’s Source and the divine fire at Pill Pagoda’s peak. She wanted to use her Yin Source to absorb the Yang divine fire in the tower to ascend to Omnipotent Realm!
