Supernatural Insight Eyes-Chapter 1800 - 1801: Aftermath of the Battle

(The previous Chapters were mixed up; two hundred Chapters were skipped out of thin air. The attentive ones already noticed this. Ah, my brain, even numbers can be messed up, sigh!)

The crisis in Dan Shen Sect was resolved. Ye Qiu invited Master Cang into the sect to express his gratitude. Without Master Cang’s final appearance, showcasing the power of a Saint, it’s hard to say if the two major sects would have stopped. Just dealing with the Sky Star Saint would have been tough enough for Ye Qiu.

"It’s fine if Elder Fentian doesn’t blame me for being late; fortunately, I arrived just in time. Otherwise, my auction house would have lost a top Alchemist." Master Cang said.

"Your intention is enough, Master Cang. Fentian is deeply grateful." Ye Qiu replied.

Master Cang didn’t stay long at Dan Shen Sect. After a few exchanges, he took his leave.

After seeing Master Cang off, Ye Qiu noticed Gao Wanli on a hill and signaled to him.

"Brother Ye." Gao Wanli jumped down the hill and came before Ye Qiu, "It’s great that you’re alright."

Seeing the sincerity in Gao Wanli’s eyes, Ye Qiu knew Gao Wanli genuinely cared for him. He said, "I made Brother Gao worry."

"Brother Ye met with trouble, and I couldn’t help. As long as you don’t blame me. Since you’re fine, I should head back now. You must have a lot to do. We can meet again when you’re free."

Gao Wanli waved and gradually walked away.

After seeing Gao Wanli off, aside from some curious onlookers gazing towards Dan Shen Sect, there was nothing else notable. Ye Qiu turned and returned to the valley.

On a distant mountain, Jin Xiaoshun was excited, thrilled that Ye Qiu was safe and sound.

"That’s great, the Sect Leader is fine, and our Dan Shen Sect is completely safe."

Wu Yaizi, as the former Sect Leader, was no less excited than Jin Xiaoshun. With tears in his eyes, he quietly bowed thrice to Cang Tian, feeling as if Cang Tian had shown its spirit, allowing Dan Shen Sect to continue existing.

The cat and dog, too, were bemused as Ye Qiu escaped unscathed. They had clearly seen that the Saint was there to kill Ye Qiu, yet Ye Qiu walked out alive, leaving only a head of the Saint behind.

The beasts exchanged glances, communicating for a while.

Their expressions conveyed roughly, "Ye Fentian is as frightening as ever. Back then, we weren’t his opponent, thinking his power only slightly surpassed ours. Now it’s clear we were gravely mistaken. He could slay a Saint, truly terrifying."

"He must have combined martial arts with alchemy to enhance his power, which is why he’s so frightening. It seems following him truly wasn’t a wrong path. In the future, we might also have a chance to become Saints."

Ye Qiu, facing the two major sects alone, survived, solidifying the cat and dog’s resolution to stay by his side.

They tidied up and immediately descended the mountain, now able to return to the sect.

Before long, Dan Shen Sect returned to normal. Jin Xiaoshun resumed his stewardship duties; hundreds of disciples continued their martial arts and alchemy practices. Everything was as it was before.

Only the cat and dog were slightly displeased as one section of the Spiritual Medicine Garden was gone, leaving just two sections.

Ye Qiu had used all the spiritual medicines in one section to prepare some restorative pills.

For fairness, the cat and dog each guarded a section of the Spiritual Medicine Garden, continuing their leisurely days.

With everyone’s return, Dan Shen Sect resumed normal operations, as if the previous battle had never happened, allowing Ye Qiu to focus on organizing the spoils of war.

From start to finish, Ye Qiu only faced the Thousand Illusion Sage once, but that battle was tremendously significant for him.

The Thousand Illusion Sage was unlike other Martial Artists; he was in the Saint Realm, far above the Void Return Realm, making Ye Qiu realize the gap between Void Return and Saint.

This left a deep impression on Ye Qiu. If not for a bit of luck, he would have been the one to die.

Through the fight with the Thousand Illusion Sage, Ye Qiu gained profound insights into his martial path, solidifying his martial foundation and gaining many revelations.

The gap between the Void Return Realm and the Saint Realm may seem like just one level, but the difference in strength is vast.

A hundred Void Return Realm practitioners couldn’t possibly be a match for a Saint; it’s no longer a gap that can be closed with numbers.

Ye Qiu sat cross-legged on the bed, constantly recalling the scenes from the fight, seeking to turn these memories into martial insights.

Three hours later, a faint aura enveloped Ye Qiu, and suddenly, a wind arose from nowhere, lifting his robes as if pulled by something mysterious, then slowly settling down.

Ye Qiu opened his eyes: "Peak of the late Divinity Transformation Realm!"

Ye Qiu had broken through, reaching the peak of the late Divinity Transformation Realm, just a step away from the Void Return Realm, almost within reach.

This filled Ye Qiu with joy. Previously, using Divine Grade pills, he had leapt from early to late Divinity Transformation Realm, thinking he’d stay there for a while before breaking through. Unexpectedly, the battle with the Thousand Illusion Sage helped him accumulate martial insights, pushing his martial path further, reaching the pinnacle of the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Even though Ye Qiu’s martial realm had advanced, his Dantian’s power hadn’t fully recovered, but he wasn’t worried. Power could slowly be restored. The Sky Star Sect and Thousand Illusions Sect were unlikely to attack again.

Especially Thousand Illusions Sect, having lost a Saint, like losing a pillar. Their biggest concern now shouldn’t be Dan Shen Sect, but their own sect.

Who knows how many sects are coveting Thousand Illusions Sect’s position now?

With Thousand Illusions Sect losing a Saint, it’s a prime opportunity for other sects.

Even if other sects don’t act, would Sky Star Sect or Piaomiao Sect not contemplate? That’s uncertain.

Ye Qiu recalled how, after Master Cang vouched for him, Piaomiao Sect and even Tian Can Sect spoke on his behalf, unable to suppress a laugh. The Thousand Illusions Sect must have been extremely frustrated then.

Piaomiao Sect standing up for him, Ye Qiu could somewhat guess, as his promise to refine a Divine Pill for them might have been a factor. But Tian Can Sect’s sudden reversal in attitude caught him completely by surprise.

Despite being an enemy, opposing him, they suddenly spoke for him, making Ye Qiu feel a little out of place.

After pondering for a while, Ye Qiu felt Tian Can Sect’s goodwill wasn’t without reason. First, because he, Ye Qiu, could kill a Saint. Secondly, even the auction house and Piaomiao Sect expressed support for him. Under such circumstances, if Tian Can Sect continued their enmity with Ye Qiu, they wouldn’t have met a good end, as long as Ye Qiu lived, Dan Shen Sect’s rise was inevitable.

"It seems Sect Leader Lu has long coveted Thousand Illusions Sect’s position. If not for me, they’d likely never encounter such a prime opportunity to grow." Realizing the crucial point, Ye Qiu understood.

Since Tian Can Sect was willing to express goodwill, Ye Qiu didn’t mind accepting it. After all, Lu Shan was also a disciple of their sect.

When he emerged from the array back then, he noticed Lu Shan’s excitement, clearly happy for his survival.

For those who care for him, Ye Qiu didn’t mind giving their sect an opportunity.

As long as Tian Can Sect doesn’t provoke him in the future, all will be well. Otherwise, don’t blame him, Ye Qiu, for not giving a chance to reform.

"Opportunities only come once. I hope your Tian Can Sect will cherish it," Ye Qiu murmured.
