Chapter 1371 Pill Refining and Cultivation (2/2)

His eyes were as deep as the starry sky and his monstrous fighting spirit had weakened a lot compared to when he fought Tai Xuan, but that wasn’t because he had become weaker. It was because he had begun to learn how to restrain his strength.

His power, if broken out again, could dazzle all-heavens like a blazing sun in the sky.

In the center of Zhou Yuan's eyebrows, the Spirit light glowed faintly and a Spirit was sitting leisurely. The Spirit was as gentle as jade stone.

During the pill refining period, not only did Zhou Yuan’s Genesis Qi benefit, his Spirit also improved. Of course the improvement in his Spirit had little to do with the three Saints’ saint power. It was more because Yaoyao deliberately cast some surplus refined Ancestral Dragon Remnant Spirits his way while she was refining Ancestral Dragon Pills.

Although the amount each time wasn’t huge, it happened several times. Therefore, Zhou Yuan’s Spirit also steadily improved in the past month.

A jade Spirit showed that one’s Spirit was about to reach the intermediate Allroamer stage.

The divine light between Zhou Yuan's eyebrows gradually faded. He raised his eyes, looked at the three Saints and gave a cupped fist salute. “Thank you.”

Although the three Saints had only passively helped him in his cultivation, Zhou Yuan was still very grateful.

The three Saints responded with a reserved smile, nodded to Yaoyao and then disappeared without a trace.

Yaoyao stretched, picked up Tuntun, who was dozing off, stepped down the platform and came over to Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan smiled at her and walked out the alchemy hall with her. Together, they strode down a tree-lined gravel path.

A light breeze passed by, stirring the leaves. The sunlight fell through the gaps in the leaves and landed on the two. The atmosphere was indescribably peaceful and warm.

Neither of them said anything but they both evidently enjoyed the atmosphere.

It wasn’t after a good while that Zhou Yuan left his relaxed and leisurely state and sighed, “The road to the Saint stage is really as difficult as reaching the sky.”

He was now regarded as at the pinnacle of the Law Domain stage and so he wanted to try to walk the so-called path to the Saint stage. However, even if his strength had improved, he still felt there was a huge distance between him and that level.

That was the gap between mortals and Saints.

Since ancient times, it was unknown how many talented heaven prides couldn’t progress past that stage and died with regret.

“If someone else hears this, they will likely beat you up. You have only been in the Law Domain stage for a few months and you are already trying to walk on the Saint stage path.” Yaoyao pursed her lips.

Zhou Yuan smiled. “I heard from my master that the Sacred Race hadn’t retaliated. Instead, it had become extremely quiet and even hid their traces. Many people said that they were terrified by your arrow.”

However, although he was smiling, Zhou Yuan's gaze was very solemn because he didn’t feel that way. The Sacred Race’s foundation was superior to that of all-heavens. Even if Yaoyao's arrow was terrifying, it was impossible for the Sacred Race to be afraid.

Therefore, Zhou Yuan felt very uneasy about the Sacred Race’s quietness.

He was worried that Yaoyao would become her target now that the Sacred Race knew about her power.

Zhou Yuan didn't tell her about his thoughts because, firstly, he was uncertain, and secondly, he didn't want to affect Yaoyao's mood.

This was the main reason why he wanted to step on the Saint path because he understood that only when he truly reached the Saint stage would he be qualified to become one of the players in the war between all-heavens and the Sacred Race. And only then would he be qualified to change something.

Unfortunately, the path to the Saint stage was too difficult.

As thoughts streamed through his mind, Zhou Yuan suddenly paused and looked at Yaoyao with a strange look. “I remember that when you gave me the Ancestral Dragon Scripture, you said that there is a higher grade than grade-9 Genesis Qi?”
