Breathtaking!
The thirty-three alchemists' Stellar Manifestation was as if an entire universe was being born and projected across the World of Eden. While the images were occurring in the Neo-Dawn Starfield, the World of Eden accurately transmitted the entire event. Quintillions of minds were blown away by this breathtaking experience.
While the Stellar Manifestation of a Mortal Sovereign was broadcasted across a vast distance, often including a planet and a few of its neighbors, there were simply too few that had occurred relative to the enormous population, so most had never seen this phenomenon in their entire lives. This included some Ascended beings who've lived for thousands of years.Throughout the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region, if one accounted for the secluded and reclusive alchemists or the criminal ones that practiced Evil Alchemical Methods that did not show for the Saint Cyclic Renewal Summit, then the number of Mortal Sovereign Alchemists was less than 300 in number. Each of their respective acknowledgment phenomena was often limited to where they studied and practiced their alchemical skills, such as the Everlore Domain."Stellar Manifestation of a Mortal Sovereign!" Tian Lingyu was utterly flabbergasted by the sheer intensity of the event, feeling slightly overwhelmed as planets, lunar satellites, and solar stars swam epically throughout her vision. It all felt so close yet so extremely far that she reached out and tried to grab at them unconsciously. For a brief moment, her inner child escaped as she happily and smilingly exclaimed.
Yang Chaoyue was typically one to harp on Tian Lingyu's young age and immaturity despite her illustrious cultivation base, but for the first time, she didn't find her annoying but a little cute. Considering her own emotions were elevated by an awe- filled experience, she couldn't hold back smiling.
"It's beautiful," Yang Chaoyue softly exclaimed."En!" Tian Lingyu nodded with a sound of earnest agreement.
The two shared a rare moment as their eyes followed a gorgeous blue planet that flew across their direct line of sight, causing their heads to follow it as it flew across the World of Eden. The exclamations of awe and happiness were incessantly erupting throughout as an experience that would forever be etched into the souls of everyone present unfolded before their very eyes.
The Stellar Manifestations lasted for quite a while before coming to a natural end. When it began to die down, the crowd was simmering in their feelings about what was just witnessed. They had thought they would simply be shown a demonstration of the Neo-Dawn Vortex-Zone Pellet, not a never-before-seen unified ascension of thirty-three Mortal Sovereign Alchemists!"This is an Alchemic Expo!" The Titanic Hell-Crushing Queen exclaimed with faint tears in her eyes. She had never witnessed something so beautiful before, as if witnessing the genesis of a universe, an almost indescribable feeling swept through her heart as someone who surpassedMortal Limits.
Her words echoed in the hearts of the Boundless Martial Sect's members and their allies, who were linked through the Proximity and Projection Links. This was indeed an Alchemic Expo!In most cases, those who participate in an Alchemic Expo were there either to meet the host to establish relations, obtain benefits through the host's ego, see the unveiling of a new product they may be interested in buying, or simply experience the grandeur of an Alchemic Expo. However, this only transformed Alchemic Expos into glorified Grand Demonstrations like the ones in the Golden Auction with additional steps.
However, a true Alchemic Expo showcased the Alchemist's lineage and skill, but that had been lost in translation as the egoified stage that the expos had become had been highlighted instead. Since the beginning, countless have cautioned their juniors or readied themselves to secure good fortune within the expo and not invest themselves in the experience of the purpose of the expo-the greatness of the Alchemist.
"Ascendant Emperor Wei has just overturned the world yet again," the Boundless Martial High King solemnly said as his form of address changed abruptly.
"Indeed," the Soul Saint King was nearby through the dual links and heard that assessment loud and clear. In fact, most of the top-tier Earthly Saints were in this group, including some Mortal Sovereign Alchemists. This was why and how, when Tian Shangyang of the Imperial Clan had spoken out earlier, the Everlore Association's Mortal Sovereign Alchemist, the Radiant Wave Alchemic Sovereign, had replied to him with a fierce rebuke. This was a unique group formed by the true elites of the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region, allowing them to communicate effortlessly as if this was the Saint Cyclic Renewal Summit."Most of those Alchemic Emperors, sorry, I mean Alchemic Sovereigns, had been exiled or pushed out due to the limitations of their talents and consistent failures. For one reason or another, they were the disgraces of their respective organizations, best left forgotten. But here they are," Tian Muyang pointed out, making sure to verbally acknowledge this point, driving the stake of embarrassment in many hearts, continuing: "By using the lineage legacy of the Neo-Dawn Alchemic Sovereign, they have all reached levels that those whomocked, spat, and insulted them may never reach."
Tian Muyang's words and intent were clear, meant to ruthlessly point out the difference in the quality of legacies between other Alchemist Associations and Wei Wuyin's new Hepta-Dawn Alchemic Corps, but no one could refute anything he had said.They were facts!
Moreover, they were the harshest type of facts-an inarguable truth! Why? Because the greatest detail had yet to be pointed out, yet it was splashed across their faces! These alchemists had reached that level with Wei Wuyin's investment in less than thirty years, and while the Neo-Dawn Vortex-Zone Pellet might have contributed greatly, was that not a part of the Neo- Dawn lineage?
The other associations couldn't provide such advantages, so it was simply pointing out their inferiority and ineptitude by saying anything further!
"..." All the Alchemist Associations went silent, and a few were even cursing heavily in their hearts. Their curses were directedtoward the Everlore Association! No, it was toward Evergod!Long ago, when the King of Everlore rose to prominence and took over the Godpill Association, he started a massive recruitment of talents throughout the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region as a way to cultivate new blood that would be loyal to him. However, due to Evergod's attempt on Wei Wuyin's life, he moved away and established his own Alchemist Association without any massive recruitment!Moreover, he produced thirty-three Mortal Sovereign Alchemists!
They cursed Evergod for not allowing Wei Wuyin to seize control of the association!
"It's not that simple," a gentle voice resounded through the Proximity Link, but there was no avatar of origin within the group of elites. However, those in the Imperial Clan all had their expressions change greatly."Earth-Saint Tian!" Tian Shangyang instantly clasped his hands and greeted the voice respectfully with a bow. Tian Lingyu, Tian Mingyu, Sky Monarch Bai, the princes and princesses, all of them graciously and earnestly greeted the voice respectfully with low bows. The only exception was Yang Chaoyue, who remained upright and calm.
"The Sky Zenith Alchemic Saint is here!" The other Mortal Sovereign Alchemists present scrambled with mad respect as they gave an equally low bow to greet the Sky Zenith Alchemic Saint, regardless if they were part of the top-tier organizations or the Everlore Association.
San Luoyang and Evergod glanced at each other, and they clasped their hands but didn't bow. They were also Alchemic Saints!"Glad you've finally come, Earth-Saint Tian." San Luoyang said with a smile.
"Thought you wouldn't come," Evergod commented flatly.
"How could I possibly miss this?" The Sky Zenith Alchemic Saint said through her voice, still not making an appearance via an avatar. She continued her previous words, "The act of pushing thirty-three Emperor Alchemists onto the center stage and having them complete the most difficult segment of an alchemical process is a sign of utmost confidence in himself and his legacy's lineage. An extreme risk too."
Only when Sky Zenith, also known as Tian Dingjian, pointed this out did the others realize the sheer audacity and confidence it took to put thirty-three Emperor Alchemists on display and have all of them succeed! This wasn't simple at all! This was absolute confidence and arrogance!Wei Wuyin wasn't just saying his lineage was capable of turning their throwaway trash into immaculate treasure, but that it could turn anyone into an alchemist, and he was certain of it! After all, a genuine Stellar Manifestation of the Mortal Sovereign only occurs once: when an Alchemist attains the acknowledgment of the Dao of Alchemy!
While there were ways to emulate it, such as through the Alchemic Stars' various forms, it wasn't as substantial and genuine as the first time!
"..." The elites were silent at the implications, and they subtly glanced at the Everlore Association's area! If before, Wei Wuyin was launching small shots their way; this was a cannonball. Their only saving grace was their study hulls that remained intact, the two Alchemic Saints. But this didn't bode well for the premier Alchemist Association."It seems Ascendant Emperor Wei might not just be intending to create a healthy competitor," Tian Muyang launched another blow to the Everlore Association's way, and all of their expressions grew unfathomably dark.
"Haha! All because you aimed for his life. Evergod, do you regret it?" Merciless was the perfect word to describe Tian Muyang, as his savage comments even caused everyone else to feel for the Everlore Association. None of them were fools, and they knew this Alchemic Expo wouldn't end well for Evergod. A few keen individuals could even predict Wei Wuyin's next move..."I hope that demonstration of both of the Neo-Dawn Vortex-Zone was adequate to not only entertain but showcase its amazing effects!" Tian Xiaocheng allowed her words to digest as subconscious nods were made throughout the World of Eden.
"Then, we'll begin the next segment unveiling our next product! A pill! Unfortunately," she said with a bit of sadness in her expression, "Unlike the first two products of the Neo-Dawn lineage, this product is a little ordinary. It's not a product that defies cultivation conventions that we've known for so long, or a product that is particularly new in regards to its effects, but it shouldn't disappoint!"The crowd was riled up with curiosity rather than hyped anticipation. Tian Xiaocheng perfectly regulated their expectations, preparing them to accept what came next without comparing the first two products together. After all, the first was a pinnacle-tier product, and the other was a multi-graded product. They were unique in regard to their effects anduses.
"I present: the Neo-Dawn Star-Seed Pill!" Just like earlier, a jade box was before Tian Xiaocheng, and she delicately opened it as a gush of solar radiance spewed outwards.
"This is a low-tier, ninth-grade product that can be used to nurture your very own Solar Star!"
"What?!"
