Yang Xiaotian's avatars refined the nine billion-year-old divine medicine, allowing him to reach the Unity Realm. He learns of the legendary ten billion-year-old divine medicine, the King of Divine Medicine, and the Ancestor Clan plots revenge. Meanwhile, news spreads of the Feiyang Emperor's death, prompting Yang Xiaotian to investigate and seek information regarding the Hou Clan.

After aiding the Feiyang Emperor in his escape, Yang Xiaotian and the emperor sought refuge in a mountain range, where the focus shifted to healing the emperor's severe injuries.

Thanks to Yang Xiaotian's unparalleled 'Ultimate Life Holy Body' and the restorative properties of the 'Primordial Life Fruit', the Feiyang Emperor's wounds were fully mended in mere days.

Upon his recovery, the Feiyang Emperor opted to depart on his own.

He understood that his strength paled in comparison to Yang Xiaotian's. Remaining by his side would only make him a liability, potentially hindering Yang Xiaotian's accumulation of contribution points.

Witnessing the Feiyang Emperor's resolute decision to leave, Yang Xiaotian bestowed upon him a generous supply of 'Primordial Life Fruits' and numerous potent elixirs he had personally concocted.

The sheer value of these crafted elixirs alone represented an unimaginable fortune.

Yielding to Yang Xiaotian's persistent generosity, the Feiyang Emperor gratefully accepted the 'Primordial Life Fruits' and elixirs, offered a profound bow of thanks, and then shattered the void to depart.

With the Feiyang Emperor safely gone, Yang Xiaotian resumed his relentless pursuit of Fierce Beasts and the diligent search for ingredients vital for crafting the legendary 'Creation Pill'.

Several more years elapsed.

Yang Xiaotian's ranking within the competition had ascended into the top ten, securing the ninth position.

On a particular day, shortly after felling a Fierce Beast, Yang Xiaotian observed a multitude of powerful experts converging with great urgency towards a specific direction, their faces alight with palpable excitement.

At that moment, a cultivator from a nearby 'Sect' sped past, his countenance radiating sheer exhilaration.

Noticing the unusual fervor, Yang Xiaotian couldn't resist intercepting the individual, inquiring about the reason for such a mass movement of experts.

The cultivator readily divulged, "I've heard that the King of Divine Medicine has emerged!"

"What!" Even Yang Xiaotian was taken aback by the news.

The King of Divine Medicine, appearing on the 'Eternal Realm Battlefield'!

Could this be the fabled 'Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicine'?!

As Yang Xiaotian stood in stunned silence, the cultivator continued his swift journey, unhindered.

After a moment's contemplation, Yang Xiaotian too took flight, heading in the same direction.

The unexpected appearance of the King of Divine Medicine was indeed momentous news!

Acquiring this legendary King of Divine Medicine could potentially grant him the breakthrough he sought, reaching the 'Harmonization Third Layer'!

Furthermore, with the King of Divine Medicine making its appearance, it was plausible that the 'Master of Holy Realm' might also reveal themselves, presenting a perfect opportunity to finally resolve this long-standing conflict.

Yang Xiaotian activated his 'Space-Time Instantaneous Movement' technique.

Through continuous use of his 'Space-Time Instantaneous Movement', Yang Xiaotian soon arrived to witness a scene that would be etched into his memory.

Spreading across the plains ahead, tens of thousands of formidable combatants were in a frenzied pursuit of a vibrant green, sky-hued ginseng!

This particular ginseng, while being relentlessly chased by countless powerful individuals, continuously employed 'Space-Time Instantaneous Movement', all the while emitting bouts of cheerful laughter, seemingly toying with its pursuers rather than genuinely attempting to escape.

"Chase me, chase me!" the ginseng gleefully taunted.

The Green Sky Ginseng!

The King of Ginseng!

Thus far, only a single Green Sky Ginseng had ever graced the heavens and all realms, and it was the very one before them.

This particular Green Sky Ginseng King was none other than the King of Divine Medicine within the 'Eternal Realm Battlefield'!

The Green Sky Ginseng King emanated an intoxicatingly potent medicinal aroma.

Even from his vantage point outside the plain, Yang Xiaotian found himself captivated by the fragrance.

At this very moment, the 'Sect' expert who had initially informed Yang Xiaotian also arrived. Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian, he registered a flicker of astonishment.

He had departed significantly earlier than Yang Xiaotian, yet surprisingly, Yang Xiaotian had managed to arrive first.

His gaze fixed upon the Green Sky Ginseng King, he audibly swallowed.

A 'Hundred-Million-Year Green Sky Ginseng King' – who wouldn't be tempted by such a prize?

However, just as he prepared to join the pursuit, an unruly, arrogant, and maddened laughter abruptly echoed from a considerable distance.

In its wake, a terrifying Blood Sea materialized on the horizon.

The Blood Sea surged, unleashing horrific, chilling wails that sent waves of panic through the crowd, causing their very 'Divine Souls' to tremble.

Gazing upon the horrifying, boundless Blood Sea, the 'Sect' expert's face contorted with fear: "Blood Ancestor!"

The newly arrived entity was indeed the formidable 'Blood Ancestor'!

The multitude of experts hot on the trail of the Green Sky Ginseng King also evinced palpable fear upon the Blood Ancestor's arrival. Many halted their pursuit and rapidly retreated a significant distance, abandoning any interest in the King of Divine Medicine.

After all, the Blood Ancestor brandished an immensely notorious reputation, and his temper was notoriously unpredictable; an unwelcome glance could result in being devoured into the Blood Sea, destined to become its sustenance.

They certainly had no desire to serve as food for the Blood Sea.

Nevertheless, a select few cultivators, confident in their own formidable strength and bolstered by the backing of their powerful factions, chose to persist in their pursuit of the Green Sky Ginseng King.

Three prominent figures from the World Academy—ancestors Cheng Zhan, Liao Yuan, and Li Quan—were still in pursuit of the Green Sky Ginseng King. These three harbored a deep-seated resentment towards Yang Xiaotian, having even proposed his expulsion from the World Academy as the Son of the World. Confident in their backing from the World Academy, they held the Blood Ancestor in little regard. Soon, the Blood Ancestor materialized in the sky above the plain, his eyes blazing with desire upon spotting the Green Sky Ginseng King. With a sudden burst of speed, he transformed into countless blood phantoms, attempting to ensnare the ginseng king. He bellowed towards Cheng Zhan, Liao Yuan, and Li Quan, proclaiming, "The Green Sky Ginseng King belongs to me! Get out of my way!" Intimidated, other cultivators retreated. However, Cheng Zhan, Liao Yuan, and Li Quan refused to yield, continuing their pursuit. In a blink of an eye, the Green Sky Ginseng King vanished, evading both the Blood Ancestor's legion of blood images and the grasp of the three academy ancestors. The Blood Ancestor, already enraged by his failure to capture the ginseng king, noticed Cheng Zhan, Liao Yuan, and Li Quan ignoring his warning and persisting in their chase. His killing intent surged dramatically. "Damn you, three mongrels! Die!" the Blood Ancestor roared, unleashing a colossal Blood Sea that surged skyward, its immense expanse aimed at crushing the three. Faces drained of color, Cheng Zhan, Liao Yuan, and Li Quan cried out in panic, "We are ancestors of the World Academy!" Yet, the Blood Ancestor not only ignored their plea but intensified his assault. The Blood Sea churned and roared, spewing forth chilling moans as innumerable Blood Demons lunged, ravenously tearing towards the trio. In sheer terror, Cheng Zhan and his companions desperately summoned their protective shields and fled. Despite the formidable defenses of their shields, the Blood Sea mercilessly battered them, sending them flying backward, spitting blood from their grievous injuries. At this critical juncture, the Green Sky Ginseng King executed a temporal teleportation, preparing to depart the plain. Witnessing the ginseng king's imminent escape, the Blood Ancestor abandoned his pursuit of the three, focusing instead on the fleeing treasure. Cheng Zhan, Liao Yuan, and Li Quan breathed a collective sigh of relief as the Blood Ancestor turned his attention away from them. However, just as the Blood Ancestor was about to resume his chase, he abruptly halted, a look of utter shock freezing his features as if confronted by something truly terrifying. A wave of confusion rippled through the onlookers as they followed the Blood Ancestor's stunned gaze. To their astonishment, a figure clad in azure robes stood suspended in the void ahead, unseen by anyone until that moment! And, inexplicably, the Green Sky Ginseng King was streaking directly towards this blue-robed individual. Nearby, the expert who had initially alerted Yang Xiaotian to the appearance of the King of Divine Medicine watched, his heart pounding near his throat as he saw the Blood Ancestor surging forward. But his fear quickly subsided as he observed the Blood Ancestor's sudden, fearful halt and his bewildered stare in their direction. What could possibly be happening? The very air seemed to congeal. The Green Sky Ginseng King arrived at Yang Xiaotian's side, then playfully darted behind him, sticking out its tongue at the Blood Ancestor. "Old man, catch me if you can! Come on, dare you!" Yang Xiaotian watched the Green Sky Ginseng King, now hiding behind him and making cheeky faces, utterly dumbfounded. This King of Divine Medicine behaved like a mischievous child! Did it not fear that he himself might capture it?
