68: Medicine Man (Sixteen)

Si Yun opened his eyes abruptly, his body stiffening.

It has come.

He rose abruptly and rushed out of his Immortal Cave.

He saw a massive spatial rift appear in the sky above Xuanxian Grotto-Heaven, spanning across the horizon.

A terrifying pressure, far exceeding the Grotto-Heaven Realm, poured down from the rift, tightly enveloping the entire mountain gate.

All the Disciples of Xuanxian Grotto-Heaven felt their chests tighten under this pressure, and even breathing became incredibly difficult.

Si Yun's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

It is him...

It must be him.

He still came looking for me.

Si Yun's right hand quietly pressed against an inconspicuous jade pendant at his waist.

That was his trump card, prepared for forty years: the activation core for a cross-domain Teleportation Array.

Just then, a figure slowly walked out from the rift.

The figure's aura was powerful and unfathomable, but it was not the hate-filled youth from Si Yun's memory.

This was a strange middle-aged man.

Deep within Xuanxian Grotto-Heaven, an aged figure shot into the sky; it was the Old Ancestor of the Grotto-Heaven Realm who had been in seclusion for many years.

He hovered in the air, his form slightly trembling, looking at the newcomer with uncertainty and shock.

"Half-step God Realm."

The Profound Immortal Old Ancestor's voice was dry, every word filled with unbelievable horror.

A Half-step God Realm existence could destroy the entire Xuanxian Grotto-Heaven with a flick of a hand.

Even in the most glorious times of Xuanxian Grotto-Heaven, the founding Ancestral Master was only at the Late Stage Grotto-Heaven Realm.

A Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land force with a God Realm expert presiding over it was undoubtedly the most top-tier Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land.

If the Holy Land does not appear, who can contend with them?

"Who are you, Your Excellency? Why have you descended before our Xuanxian Grotto-Heaven Mountain-Protecting Formation for no reason?" the Profound Immortal Old Ancestor asked, forcing himself to speak, his tone trembling slightly.

Si Yun was also nervous to the extreme.

He feared the visitor was ill-intentioned.

Although the person was not Tang Yiliang himself, it was hard to say that this person had no connection to Tang Yiliang.

It was possible that this was a powerful expert Tang Yiliang had befriended during his years of adventuring...

Just as everyone in Xuanxian Grotto-Heaven was silent and filled with anxiety.

That Half-step God Realm expert suddenly smiled and withdrew that terrifying pressure.

"Everyone in Xuanxian Grotto-Heaven, do not panic. I have no ill intentions."

He spoke loudly, his voice gentle, spreading in all directions.

"I am here under the order of the Medicine Supreme, Mo, specifically to deliver good news."

"Your sect's Senior, Old Mo, has successfully broken through in the Central Region, ascended to the God Realm, and achieved the status of Supreme of the Medicine Dao!"

Medicine Supreme!

God Realm!

These two words shocked everyone in Xuanxian Grotto-Heaven.

After a brief silence, there was sky-high joy.

"Old Ancestor! Junior Martial Uncle-Grandmaster Mo... he succeeded!"

"Our Xuanxian Grotto-Heaven has produced a Medicine Supreme!"

"Hahahaha! Heaven bless our Xuanxian Grotto-Heaven!"

Countless Disciples wept with joy, hugging each other, their cheers resounding through the clouds.

"Our Xuanxian Grotto-Heaven... shall prosper!"

The Profound Immortal Old Ancestor, who was nearing the end of his life, wept with old tears and gazed deeply in the direction of the Central Region.

Si Yun's tense nerves finally relaxed completely.

He let out a long breath, his back already soaked with cold sweat.

"Fortunately, it is not Tang Yiliang coming for revenge."

"It is Revered Master... who has become the Medicine Supreme."

He now had a Medicine Supreme, a God Realm expert, as his backer!

child of destiny? Worthless.

Go tell that to my Medicine Supreme God Realm Revered Master!

The immense joy made him temporarily forget the worries of the past forty years.

However, the crowd could not be happy for long.

In the sky, a new anomaly occurred.

Another, even more violent spatial rift, accompanied by a harsh tearing sound, arrogantly opened up above everyone's heads.

This time, the pressure was full of undisguised Killing Intent and resentment.

The smiles on the faces of the Xuanxian Grotto-Heaven Disciples, who had just been cheering, froze.

The Profound Immortal Old Ancestor couldn't help but look at the quasi-God messenger with shock and suspicion.

"Does Your Excellency have companions?"

That quasi-God expert was also stunned, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Companions? I came alone; how could there be talk of companions?"

Before he could finish speaking, figures stepped through the Void Realm and appeared from the new rift.

The person in the lead—that face, those eyes—Si Yun would recognize them even if they turned to ash.

Tang Yiliang.

It was him who had returned.

Forty years had passed; the youth of the past had long shed his greenness, and now he was covered in a cold, bone-chilling Killing Intent.

His eyes were cold, landing on everyone in Xuanxian Grotto-Heaven.

"Xuanxian Grotto-Heaven must be destroyed!"

The cold voice fell, as if deciding the fate of this place.

"Si Yun... pay with your life!"

The last five words were spoken almost through gritted teeth.

The image of Luo Liu's appearance before her death surfaced in his mind again.

A terrifying aura erupted from him, a power that made even Si Yun, at the Peak Three Origin Realm, feel a tremor of heart.

Grotto-Heaven Realm!

In just forty years, he had gone from a small Earth Spirit Realm Cultivator to stepping into the Grotto-Heaven Realm in one leap!

The child of destiny, truly terrifying!

Si Yun's heart, which had just relaxed, instantly fell into a bottomless abyss.

He no longer had any luck, and without hesitation, prepared to activate the jade pendant, initiating that final escape route.

But just at this moment, a voice caused his movements to stop.

"What kind of petty thief? Daring to run wild in front of this God."

The quasi-God expert from the Central Region stepped out, blocking the front of Xuanxian Grotto-Heaven.

He snorted coldly, the pressure belonging to the Half-step God Realm vast and mighty, meeting Tang Yiliang and his group.

Si Yun's heart came alive again.

That's right!

On their side, they still had a quasi-God backing them!

No matter how much of a Prodigy you, Tang Yiliang, are, you are currently only at the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

The difference between the Mortal Realm and the God Realm is like a chasm!

With a quasi-God expert here, what is there to fear!

A smile of survival even appeared on Si Yun's face.

Tang Yiliang, in the end, you are still one move short!

Facing the monstrous pressure of the quasi-God expert, a black-robed girl beside Tang Yiliang let out a sneer of disdain.

"God Realm? Is it very strong?"

Once these words were spoken, the people of Xuanxian Grotto-Heaven were stunned, and even the quasi-God from the Central Region showed anger.

"You must not know what kind of existence the God Realm is!"

After reacting, some Disciples of Xuanxian Grotto-Heaven began to mock.

God Realm? Not strong?

Is the God Realm some kind of common existence found on every street corner?

I'm afraid this girl doesn't even know what the concept of a God Realm expert is!

Before anyone could act, Tang Yiliang in the sky slowly spoke.

"God Realm experts are indeed not ordinary, not to be underestimated, but..."

"This God?"

"Heh... just a mere fake god."
