Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao Chapter 962 - Reaching the Island a Second Time

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

However, much to You Hao’s surprise, many people actually wore expressions of interest upon seeing Ling Han attempt to cross the river.

‘Am I seeing things?’

A strong sense of jealousy welled up in You Hao’s heart. He was the one who had succeeded in reaching the island, so why was everyone more interested it that person?

‘F*ck! He hasn’t even reached the late stage of the low extre yet! He only has a mountain, but doesn’t have a river!

‘Could it be that he’s a descendent of so powerful figure?’

You Hao was a small-minded person, and his expression instantly darkened when he saw that his thunder was stolen by soone who hadn’t even reached the late stage of the Mountain River Tier yet. He secretly decided to give Ling Han a lesson when he ca back.

Anyhow, he wasn’t a person from his country, so it mattered little even if he was a descendant of a powerful figure. Everything would be fine as long as he didn’t kill him in front of everyone else.

After experiencing a large growth in his cultivation level, Ling Han’s speed was naturally quicker this ti around. It seed as if he were walking along flat ground, and the ease with which he advanced caused the onlookers to almost spit their tongues out in astonishnt.

One had to realize that this was the second ti that Ling Han was attempting to reach the island!

This was already on par with Zhao Lun!

Moreover, when had Zhao Lun completed his grand feat of reaching the island two tis in a row? It was when he was at the peak of the low extre!

In reality, no one was given any special treatnt. The gravity fields bearing down on the stones were the sa every ti, so it was clearly advantageous to have a higher cultivation level. There was no notion of having it easier just because one was undefeated in their own tier.

It was evident that Ling Han still hadn’t reached the late stage of the low extre yet. This ant that there was still room for him to grow stronger, and as such, it was completely possible for him to reach the island for a third ti, or perhaps... even a terrifying fourth ti!

‘Heavens!’

After arriving before the last 10 stones, Ling Han finally felt so pressure bearing down on him. However, he still took large and decisive steps forward.

98, 99, 100!

He reached the island once again.

Everyone was holding their numb heads.

Both had reached the island two tis, but Ling Han was even more freakish than Zhao Lun.

If news of this traveled back, it was likely that the entire Imperial Capital would be stunned. It could elevate Ling Han’s standing imnsely, or it could also plunge him into a dark and bottomless abyss.

Ling Han grabbed at a Mountain River Stone with one hand and tossed his Blood Sucking Origin Gold outward with another in an attempt to obtain another Mountain River Stone. With his current ability, of course he could complete both these actions at the sa ti. However, when his hand and the Blood Sucking Origin Gold ca into contact with Mountain River Stones at the sa ti...

Pa!

The Blood Sucking Origin Gold violently bounced up, and wasn’t able to grab that Mountain River Stone.

Peng!

Ling Han was sent flying back to the bank of the lake again.

‘This brat actually succeeded as well?’

A look of jealousy fell across You Hao’s face. He had originally been unique and unmatched. Now, however, soone was standing neck and neck with him and stealing part of his glory.

Being the petty-minded person that he was, he imdiately walked up to Ling Han. He clapped his hands, and said, “Congratulations, congratulations! You’ve also managed to successfully reach the island after . Huh? I’ve heard that the difficulty will significantly decrease for a short while after soone has successfully reached the island. Heh, in that case, you’ve benefited from my glory.”

The shalessness of this person was quite startling.

Was he purposefully playing down soone else’s achievent to elevate his own standing?

Those who had been here for a long ti all started to roar with laughter. They had personally witnessed Ling Han reaching the island twice with very own eyes. What did reaching the island twice signify? At least in the past 1000 years, only one other person had managed this feat—Zhao Lun.

‘You’ve only reached the island once, yet you dare to say that Ling Han is benefitting from your glory? What an absolute joke!’

Embarrassnt and anger appeared across You Hao’s face. “What are you all laughing at?” he asked coldly. “Is there anything to laugh at?”

“Heh, young man, you’re still unaware, aren’t you? Before you arrived, our young friend Ling Han already reached the island once,” an elder explained. As everyone here was at the low extre, he didn’t dare refer to himself as a senior even though he was clearly older.

This was a rule of the martial arts world—seniority could only be determined by ability.

Pu!

You Hao spluttered in shock as an incredibly colorful expression spread across his face.

He was struck with disbelief. How was this possible? He was well aware that it would beco insanely more difficult to reach the island after successfully arriving there once. It was simply an impossible task. In the past 1000 years, only Zhao Lun had managed to accomplish such a feat.

Once had to realize that Ling Han hadn’t even reached the late stage of the low extre yet! If all this were true, then didn’t this an that there was a possibility of him reaching the island for a third ti after leveling up to the late stage of the low extre?

“Bullsh*t! You’re definitely spewing bullsh*t!” You Hao furiously shook his head.

“Heh.” More people cracked up in mocking laughter. In fact, if they hadn’t witnessed it with their own eyes, they also wouldn’t have believed that Ling Han could possibly be so powerful.

Hearing the mocking laughter of so many people, You Hao finally accepted the fact that he had made a great fool out of himself. His face involuntarily flushed red. He glanced at the island in the middle of the lake. Then, he gritted his teeth and dashed toward the stones once more. He was going to attempt reaching the island for a second ti.

He crossed the first 10 stones with great difficulty, but after that, his body would sway with each extra step that he took.

Plop!

In the end, he still fell into the lake.

He instantly shrieked in pain, and started to hurriedly swim back to the bank.

He had failed.

As he had failed at a relatively early stage, he arrived back at the bank in no ti. His wounds weren’t too serious, yet the ntal blow was significant.

He was lesser than another person!

That person was a whole two sub-minor levels below him, yet he had managed to reach the island twice. With such results as a comparison, it was abundantly clear who was more able.

Ling Han rely flashed a smile at him. Being able to reach the island once was already a comndable feat. He withdrew his gaze and started to ponder how to reach the island a third ti.

With his current ability... it would be impossible.

He could still spare a shred of power when reaching the island for a second ti. However, he could at most only make it a third of the way if he made his third attempt now.

Well, he still had two Mountain River Stones, ones with special attributes no less. Would refining an extre weight Mountain River Stone here create so resistance to the extre weight bearing over from the island?

‘Let refine another one and test this out.’

Ling Han retrieved a earthen-yellow Mountain River Stone, and started to refine it in his hand.

Many people looked at him with envious expressions. However, Ling Han’s abilities and physique were clear for all to see, and Hu Feiyun was also standing just to the side. Most people only dared to think about but not act upon their greed.

“Young Master, let’s leave,” the two elderly servants said to You Hao. They had a special Mountain River Stone on them, and such an item would attract greed from others. It was best to leave earlier.

You Hao stared at Ling Han, and only nodded after a long ti. “Fine!” If he refined the Mountain River Stone here, then it was extrely likely that he would directly break through to the dium extre. As an end result, he would be targeted, and then killed, by the regulations of this place.

It wasn’t as if no one had tried this before.

Ling Han continued to extract power from the Mountain River Stone. In his Dantian, a river was slowly forming from nothing.

‘No wonder Mountain River Stones are such hot property. Their effects are even more outstanding than amazing pills and dicines.’

Although the number of Mountain River Stones needed to level up would increase along with one’s cultivation level, a maximum of 10 would probably suffice to help him reach the peak stage of the low extre.

Thankfully, Mountain River Stones could only forcefully form Mountain Rivers. They couldn’t aid with one’s comprehension, nor could they help one surpass a minor level. Otherwise, such items would be even more astonishing.

To Ling Han’s surprise, he discovered that a streak of earthen-yellow veined pattern had appeared on the “mountain” that he had ford not long ago. It was very shallow in the beginning, yet as the power of the Mountain River Stone continued to surge in, this veined pattern also beca deeper and deeper.

This was a divine pattern!
