Paragon Of Sin Chapter 1605 1598: Sinful Sage (2)

Chapter 1605 Chapter 1598: Sinful Sage (2)

Sky Heart Galaxy's outskirts, beyond the Galactic Layer.

At the edge of the Prohibition of Heaven's zone of control, roughly twelve thousand miles out, the triangular void vessel of Sage Springfield, also known as the Easy Spring, renowned for its owner's ident.i.ty and remarkable powers of void traversal within the Utmost Purity Galaxy, hovered there as several individuals entered after being respectfully welcomed by the leading middle-aged man acting as its interim captain and all of its crew. They were servile and diligent, each gaze directed genuine reverence at the four figures that arrived.

After the grand greeting at the front door, the leading figure at the head of the newly arrived group walked forward with an innate majesty that was unmistakable, genuinely exerting the aura and demeanor as if this location was undeniably his. And it was!

"Where is this...Neo-Dawn Alchemic Saint?" The leading figure asked in a soft, gentle voice that exuded the warmth of spring. When he spoke, everyone listened with rapt attention as if not to miss a single syllable, hanging on every word.

He was an elegantly dressed young man, roughly in his early twenties, with not a single sign of unnatural aging and flawless warm beige skin that exuded every ounce of youth, beauty, cleanliness, and health. With a pair of naturally glistening, lightly shaded blue eyes that sparkled with a faint silvery brilliance, his looks were extraordinary like spring itself, yet his beauty was not ruled by its feminine qualities, and there was no denying his gender from any perspective.

With a set of pearly white teeth, he carried a perpetually faint smile. His robes were multi-colored with warm colors of spring, with a mixture of expertly poppy red, daffodil yellow, cerulean, and peach pink. With a headband tied to his forehead with floral patterns, he emanated a fragrance that was gentle and relaxing.

The vast majority of the Utmost Purity Galaxy's residents would recognize this outstanding-looking young man as the ancient and remarkable Sage Springfield!

The middle-aged man who was the interim captain, taking over for Sage Springfield temporarily, was swift as he hurriedly replied: "A few days ago, the one that referred to himself as the Neo-Dawn Alchemic Saint entered the Sky Heart Galaxy. He hasn't hidden his aura from beginning to end, so his location is near the Sky Heart Galaxy's Galactic Layer."

"Oh?"

His words elicited a spark of interest from one of the other individuals who had arrived alongside Sage Springfield. She exuded an alchemical aura that was quite dense and rich, clearly representative of his skill within the Alchemic Dao.

She was a delightfully beautiful young girl with alabaster skin and scarlet eyes garbed in a pomegranate sleeveless sundress with many frills at the helm and shoulders. She was eerily young, portraying herself as a young girl of twelve or thirteen years of age. It was abnormally difficult to tell if her appearance was the result of a Cultivation Method or by design as the lines of falsity were faintly there yet undefined to the senses. There was some type of alteration, but that was all anyone could figure.

Unlike Sage Springfield, she was considerably more prominent and recognized, even vehemently wors.h.i.+ped on a higher level by virtue of her status as an Alchemist. Moreover, she wasn't an ordinary Alchemist, but a genuine Senior-tier Worldly Saint Alchemist! A Senior Worldly Alchemic Saint! Alchemic Saint White Sky!

In the Mortal-rank of the Alchemic Dao, those from the Lord Alchemist to the Mortal Sovereign Alchemists were divided into three levels within their respective ranks: Official, Prime, and Grand, each corresponding to the skill of an Alchemist by their concoction of Low, High, and Peak-tier products. This wasn't something arbitrarily decided but in accordance with the Alchemic Dao's worldly recognized rubric of measurement. It keenly divided those who were skilled by clear categories of their achievements. The only thing that changed between societies and different cultivation civilizations were the standards for consideration of each level.

Some of the most fundamentally lower societies may bestow such t.i.tles upon a single successful concoction while higher forms of society with stricter and higher achievements in the alchemic arts might require a successful and consistent concoction rate of 50% or higher among ten or more tries!

In the Mystic-Rank of the Alchemic Dao, the division was Junior, Senior, and Exalted! The Alchemic Dao perfectly ill.u.s.trated its understanding of the Mortal Dao and the Mystic Dao here, establis.h.i.+ng the differences with a far less colorful and far more direct manner of t.i.tling.

Someone, regardless of their age, of a lesser level was considered a Junior while someone greater was a Senior! Meanwhile, it also alluded to and properly showcased the fact that the differences between levels had a cold indifference to it as if those at the Earthly Alchemic Saint level and Worldly Alchemic Saint level were fundamentally unable to be considered remotely compared.

Those who were Juniors within the Worldly Alchemic Saint level were not on the same stage as Exalted Earthly Alchemic Saint! In a way, it perfectly ill.u.s.trated the att.i.tude of the Mystic Dao between each great division between its levels, with the Earthly Saint Phase and Worldly Saint Phase being entirely different!

Alchemic Saint White Sky had a cultivation base at the Heavenly Saint Phase, an Original Magistrate, her aura not disguised in the slightest, but she didn't have clear signs of an Alchemic Soul, indicative of her great talent or greater means.

"Why haven't you informed him of our arrival?" Her voice was not that of a little girl but contained a deeply rich, flavorful voice of a young woman, and her peach-colored eyes narrowed slightly. It was clear she was a little displeased.

The middle-aged interim captain's expression instantly changed as he hurriedly replied, "I've tried, World-Saint White Sky! But he's been..."

He wanted to say that this Neo-Dawn Alchemic Saint was acting difficult, but all attempts at trying to send a Spiritual Transmission from long-range were met by an immediate backlash. A subordinate of his was still trying to recover. Moreover, a warning would repeat that entry for the next month by anyone on the s.h.i.+p was denied! That was weeks ago!

It was clear that the recent chaos occurring within the Sky Heart Galaxy was due to this unknown Alchemic Saint and he was refusing to allow anyone to enter without his permission. It was abnormally domineering! Moreover, Teng Jiangwen, a legitimate Sage, was claimed to have been killed by this person...

How could he dare to violate these warnings and risk his life and the Easy Spring?

"Just speak clearly," a tall, stalwart elderly male with a thick mutton chops beard of dark hair and a tight-fitting sleeveless fabric s.h.i.+rt that revealed the toned muscles of his arms and outlined his pectoral muscles while wearing black metal chausses and solleret. His lower body was completely covered in armor while his upper half was light and cloth, yet that imposing upper body revealed his significant achievements in physical cultivation.

He had a pair of sharp eyes and a round face, with eyes like a tiger's. Actually! He had genuine tiger eyes! He was known as Martial Overlord Tigerheart, a unique t.i.tle for his designation, indicative of his strength at the Mystic Overlord level! He was Alchemic Saint White Sky's Dao Protector!

When he spoke, the interim captain jumped slightly and hurriedly detailed his encounter with Teng Jiangwen and Wei Wuyin's declaration and then subsequent actions, including informing them of the chaos that had unfolded within the Sky Heart Galaxy.

"What of the seal?" A middle-aged woman in modest, white-colored scholar attire, with looks that weren't too beautiful or too ugly, having a type of blissful scholarly charm. She was wearing a white scholar's hat and carried a book that had marks of animated and ever-s.h.i.+fting runes that seemed to create various formations. Upon her hat was a symbol of two paint brushes forming an 'X' shape, leaving behind wavy lines of ink at the brushes' hairy ends. She was an Original Magistrate! A Heavenly Saint! And renowned for her skills in formations and arrays, known as Bai Pan!

Her words caused World-Saint White Sky and Overlord Tigerheart to grow slightly serious while Sage Springfield's expression remained unchanged.

"The seal is intact," the interim captain informed. This elicited silent and subtle sighs of relief from each of them.

"We've looked into the name with our Seers of the Neo-Dawn Alchemic Lineage. We've learned that it's fairly recent in terms of establishment, but it has multiple products within the Mystic-Earth and a few Mystic-World stages," the interim captain informed.

Any void vessel without a Sage at the helm would need a group of highly skilled Heavenly Seers, Oracles, or Fortune Tellers to prevent tragedy as long as they were smart. They were unable to calculate Wei Wuyin's approach due to the fact he was far, far away prior, but when he arrived and announced his ident.i.ty, the last few weeks have been a heavy effort to gather as much information as possible.

While they couldn't gather any Concoction Methods, they could obtain the minimum amount of information that was created upon Wei Wuyin's introducing his products into the Alchemic Dao, especially after giving them names and finalizing their existences as unique and accepted.

"Effects?" Alchemic Saint White Sky's eyes released a gentle light of curiosity. If it was talking about the Alchemic Dao, she was fully interested!

"World-Saint White Sky, we...we were unable to determine any of their effects yet..." The interim captain answered with a tinge of disappointment. However, this did verify that there was indeed an Alchemic Saint Neo-Dawn at the Worldly Saint Alchemist level with a proper lineage!

"Not yet? That likely suggests the effects of these lineage products are quite exceptional," Martial Overlord Tigerheart stated firmly, subtly reminding Alchemic Saint White Sky of the implications of an extraordinary Worldly Saint Alchemist that can kill a Sage.

The Worldly Saint Alchemist wasn't ignorant nor needed a reminder to understand the implications, and thoughtfully lowered her gaze.

"No worries. Great Empress Bai, check on the seal's integrity and status." Sage Springfield seemed unbothered by the implication and gave an order to Bai Pan. The middle-aged scholarly woman respectfully nodded. She went off deeper into the s.h.i.+p without further delay or words.

Sage Springfield's eyes glowed faintly as if he was piercing through the metallic layers of Easy Spring and into the Sky Heart Galaxy.

'Who are you, Neo-Dawn Alchemic Saint?'
