Paragon Of Sin

Chapter 1269 1263: NDAE, Unveiling Sea (3)

The initial reactions to the Neo-Dawn Soul- Sea Elixir elicited the response that onewould expect, shock and awe followed by deep, unfathomable curiosity. The Radiant Wave Alchemic Sovereign's review of its effects indirectly verified the elixir's potential abilities, allowing those who were not as knowledgeable or experienced to grasp a sense of its earth-shattering importance.

Following was the 'Question and Answer' segment of the unveiling; Empress Xiaocheng opened the floor for questions, giving priority to those with authority in the field of alchemy, such as Mortal Sovereign Alchemists and the Earthly Saints, and then allowing the various experts to submit questions through the World of Eden. The world grew extremely lively as this segment lasted an entire fourteen hours.

Questions such as: "What's the lowest cultivation base refinement requirement?"

"After this Radiant Soul-Sea is formed, can the Primary Light Energies be replenished without the Neo-Dawn Soul-Sea Elixir?"

"What are the effects of the higher quality versions of the Neo-Dawn Soul-Sea Elixir?"

Tian Xiaocheng answered them all publicly without any sign of being taken aback or unsettled.

"A cultivator's Spirit of Cultivation must have undergone the transition into a fully- formed Natal Soul before consuming the product. So at the average standards and without external assistance of any kind, the Seventh Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, the Infused Spirituality Phase."

"As cultivation is without limits, there's bound to be other methods to replenish one's Primary Light Energies without the Neo-Dawn Soul-Sea Elixir. For example, a Light-Attributed Cultivator might be able to directly refine his Primary Light Energies through their Spirit of Cultivation using a specialized method or others with Primary Light Energy recovery products that could exist in the future."

"The effects of any Pinnacle-tier product is almost exclusively a strengthened effect of its lowest acceptable quality."

The questions weren't all innocent either, with a few from the various alchemist associations rushing to discredit the product by throwing out questions to suggest it may be harmful to subvert cultivation boundaries and principles so easily. That said, it was difficult for their attempts to find any grounds given the Neo-Dawn Eclipse Pill, the Ever-Domain Pill, and the Sharded God Domain Pill.

The benefits of having light energies before the Light Reflection Phase were undeniably earth-shattering. The Light Reflection Phase was a stage that provides a type of speed of action that was unheard of, almost single-handedly allowed the Light Reflection Phase to be invincible against lower staged cultivators. Not only that, their circulation of energies was greatly enhanced by Light Energies, including the rate of their perception and attacks.

If two cultivators were equal on all factors except the possession of Light Energies, the victor would be easily determined regardless of any other external variables ten times out of ten.

More importantly, Light Energies assisted in the refinement of energies as well. This meant the speed of one's cultivation would be improved by several degrees, creating an insurmountable chasm between those of equal talent who had the product and those who did not.

It was genuinely heaven-shaking!

"If this product had hit before the Neo- Dawn Eclipse Pill, there's no doubt that the Saint Cyclic Renewal Summit would have also been triggered for it." San Luoyang said to San Yongli, his eyes outwardly calm but his heart thunderously beating.

"Two products that break conventions..." San Yongli's eyes grew increasingly solemn. What did Wei Wuyin experience in his past life? Did they come from the same timeline? If so, where did he go exactly when he vanished at that time? She couldn't help but wonder if Wei Wuyin had passed over at the same time as her or if he was some several thousand years old monster who was bringing his lifetime of alchemic cultivation back to the past?

In fact, she suspected that he was thieving concoction methods of yet-to-be- concocted products and labeling them as his own. While despicable, besides herself, who knew how incredible traversing back through time was, he would be looked upon like a god.

"What type of monster is he?" Tian Shangyang couldn't help but exclaim after hearing all the questions, answers, and explanations. The Neo-Dawn Eclipse Pill was already earth-shattering, convention- breaking, and heaven-defying by itself, but this product would give another unfair advantage to those at the Seventh Stage of the Qi Condensation Stage!

Introducing this single pill would mean there would be a great chasm in the next generation between the geniuses, the wealthy, and the average cultivator. Having a good family and backing will be more important than ever before.

No one was foolish enough to try to deny the effects of the product. After all, a low- quality version was in a bowl in front of them. This definitely wasn't the first product, so the Neo-Dawn Alchemic Sovereign had likely performed extensive testing, especially given the 12% number given earlier.

After the question and answer segment ended, it was time for the next segment to begin!

The World of Eden subtly grew tense. By this point of the expo, thanks to the Projection Link and Proximity Link, the exchange of information became near viral, and almost everyone understood that good fortune typically followed the unveiling of the product.

"The next bout of good fortune is about to come!" Lin Xianxei hurriedly reminded Lin Ming who was contemplating the implications of the elixir with the voice within the Aegis of Elements. He broke out of his mental conversation and frowned, "I thought you said it's usually a competition for the product in question? While this elixir is astounding, I've already attained Primary True Light."

In the spectrum of light, Primary True Light was between White-colored Light and Soul Light. It was the highest known standard for mortals in the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region, and cultivating it was a sign of a true demonic genius of the Astral Core Realm.

Lin Xianxei looked at him and was incredibly stunned! "Are you deaf? The elixir can INCREASE your Primary Light Source's size!" The urge to deliver a smack swelled within her heart as Lin Ming responded with an 'oh' and a typically endearing smile that would've once before washed all her harsh emotions away. Now, she just found it slightly annoying.

She knew that Lin Ming often liked to subconsciously humble brag by indirectly admitting his talents. A flaw in his personality, but she didn't harp on this habit of his. She sighed and then eyed him, asking: "You've attained True Light?"

Seeing the reaction he had expected, Lin Ming felt satisfied as he grinned brightly with a chuckle.

Lin Xianxei didn't offer any praise, instead saying: "The Soul Saint King of the Ninestar Sainthall is said to have exceeded the TrueLight Stage, so don't grow complacent. Understand?"

Lin Ming instantly grew serious and nodded. This was also told to him by the voice in his head, as the Soul Saint King was an Apex Light-Attributed Cultivator of the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region, so he had to rein in his satisfaction.

In the end, Lin Xianxei saw his expression, and her heart eased. She added, "That said, reaching the True Light Stage at your current level and age is exceptional. I think the number of cultivators at your age who've attained that level could be counted on two hands."

Lin Ming's heart was eased by her words. The Soul Saint King was an illustrious Earthly Saint, a true genuine Ascended being and top-tier expert with thousands of years of cultivation on his belt, so comparing himself to him was only going to create unnecessary thoughts.

Finally, Tian Xiaocheng took center stage as she made the next announcement. "To celebrate the unveiling of the Neo-Dawn Soul-Sea Elixir, the Neo-Dawn Alchemic Sovereign has decided to randomly select ten thousand cultivators of each stage from the Seventh Stage, Eighth Stage, and Ninth Stage, a thousand cultivators from each of the Astral Core Realm stages, a hundred cultivators from the First Stage to the Third Stage of the Mystic Ascendant Realm, and ten cultivators at the Fourth Stage to receive a single portion the low-quaity version of the elixir."

Her announcement of the randomly bestowed good fortune sent many into shock.

"Randomly given?" San Yongli furrowed her brows slightly in contemplation. Was it truly random? "Wait..."

Tian Muyang was one of the first to notice the announcement, "Giving away 39,310 Pinnacle-tier Ninth-Grade Products?!" Instantly, the crowd began to realize the horrific implications of such a randomly given distribution!

What type of situation was this?!

How was this possible?! To give away nearly 40,000 products at that grade for free? This wasn't just good fortune; this was an insane fortune! The price for the elixir had yet to be set, but when have pinnacle-tier products ever been easy to concoct or obtain? The Echoing Stars of the Vastness Pill was commonly known in the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region's history as the predominant reason for the Dark Stars Era! To concoct a single such pill required a 'natural' Solar Star!

Yang Chaoyue laughed heartily. She glanced at the Everlore Association's area and saw their varied yet ugly expressions. A single alchemist could never casually give away such high quantities of high-level resources, and the Golden Life Pavilion definitely couldn't provide such products so easily.There was only one reason to expose this, and it was a sign of a calamity for the Everlore Association!

"You don't think...?" The Radiant Wave Alchemic Sovereign turned to San Luoyang with quivering hands. The Tri-Vision Alchemic Saint's calm eyes began to ripple with intense emotions.

An Official Mortal Sovereign Alchemist reasoned, "They must have been preparing this for decades, no, centuries. Right?"''...''No one responded to his outlandish yet equally reasonable explanation. Why was it outlandish? Because Wei Wuyin was openly claiming to have invented these products! To take credit for someone else's work was a strict taboo, and could easily be figured out by Heavenly Seers. Everything had a karmic link to it, especially the Alchemic Dao's product lineage. In fact, the act of taking someone's credit for their Alchemic Products was against the unspoken laws of Alchemy!

Even if figures like the King of Everlore explored various products and invented some, they would be bestowed the original creator's given name even if it was a million years ago in a world far, far away. This was why many of the products that the King of Everlore brought out and 'invented' didn't have the 'Ever' brand to them-their name was long since set.

While he might have brought them out through experimentation, they belonged to other Alchemists throughout the ages, and saying otherwise was an egregious affront to the Dao of Alchemy!

If Wei Wuyin claimed that he invented the product, then that meant he invented the product! It was difficult to gather any information about Wei Wuyin early on, and whatever feats they heard couldn't be directly verified, so there was heavy and reasonable skepticism surrounding his early breakout years. But for Wei Wuyin himself to make this claim in his Alchemic Expo was entirely different; there was no doubt it was true!

How could they prepare 40,000 pinnacle- tier products in centuries if it was invented by an alchemist less than a hundred? How ridiculous was this statement?!

The only explanation?!

Wei Wuyin had an Alchemist Association!

"At least he's not taking the King of Everlore's route," Mu Yura, the Twilight Alchemic Sovereign, said from the side with an emotional breath. The King of Everlore had directly seized the Godpill Association and rebranded it as his own.

"But is this better?" San Yongli softly spoke from the side, causing those with anxious emotions to turn her way with a faint light of hostility. San Luoyang's eyes darkened as he swept his glance across them. They all hurriedly kept their thoughts and looked away, not bothering with a junior and offending an Alchemic Saint. It simply wasn't worth it.

San Yongli frowned. Weren't they just deflecting their emotions to someone else to forget their fears? The Golden Life Pavilion was already beating them in lower- graded products; their only saving grace was their higher-graded products!

The implication was clear!

Wei Wuyin wasn't trying to seize the Everlore Association and overwrite the King of Everlore's legacy! No! He was building his own from the ground up, and the Everlore Association's spot as the number one Alchemist Association title was in danger!!

They knew that this was only the earliest sign of the storm to come!

The selection of the 39,310 experts was extremely quick, accompanied by a gorgeous light show to highlight each selected party. "You can refine it now or give it to others; we'll take a short three- week break. During this period, we'll be delivering food and basic cultivation resources to each attendant in accordance with their cultivation level and party size. This will be consistent throughout each break." Tian Xiaocheng closed off the announcement with this statement that caused countless cultivators to get excited.

Free resources? Say less!

The third bout of good fortune!

"It's a pity that it was random," Lin Ming pouted as he eyed the Neo-Dawn Soul-Sea Elixir in his hands, hiding the smugness in his heart as he looked at Lin Xianxei that wasn't so lucky. Lin Xianxei, however, was only briefly disappointed after finding out she hadn't been chosen. However, her mother sent her a spiritual transmission saying that she procured a peak-quality version that she could refine during this period, so her emotions were swiftly elevated with a gorgeous smile.

"It's fine. My mother prepared something for me."

Lin Ming was taken aback. Then, he recalled that Lin Xianxian was Wei Wuyin's maid!

She was bound to receive some benefits! "Good!"

The selection process was genuinely random, and with the Heavenly Daos' help, it was hard for those who were Blessed to not receive it by exchanging Karmic Luck Value. Wei Wuyin didn't play any tricks to the distribution, allowing it to happen naturally as he inspected how the Heavenly Daos influenced random chance through the World of Eden.

For this brief period, he grasped the mysterious ways of the Heavenly Daos!

"Fascinating!"
