Paragon Of Sin

Chapter 1288 1282: NDAE, Main Host

Tian Xiaocheng's announcement poked at the hearts of the audience. The end was nigh! Even the Empress herself was a little emotional after receiving this notice, reminding her that despite initially disliking her role as the Primary Host, she ended up enjoying it far, far more than she could have ever expected. While the memory of dressing sexily in the beginning, flaunting her breathtaking features to the common man, would haunt her memories and cause her to gnash her teeth throughout her life at random moments, it was still an undeniably awesome experience worth having had.

"This expo lasted quite a while," Lin Ming commented dazedly. He was deeply overwhelmed by all the events, trying hard to forget the incident of accidentally soiling himself. While incredibly embarrassing, it helped reduce some of that developed distance he felt from Lin Xianxei; additionally, his mind grew abundantly clearer with the Pure Dream Liquid, and he obtained a Neo-Dawn Star-Seed Pill.

Lin Xianxei furrowed her brows slightly, her thoughts extremely complex. If there was any doubt left in anyone's mind that the era was changing, this Neo-Dawn Alchemic Expo had proved it entirely. While Wei Wuyin had highlighted his lineage's astonishing prowess in nurturing Alchemists, proving it to be no less inferior to the King of Everlore's, perhaps even better, he had also ushered a wave of expectation and belief in the future of the cultivation society of this new era.

In the future, will Mortal Sovereign Alchemists still be as highly regarded as they are now? Will Alchemic Saints be rare? Will the Earthly Saint Phase be as unattainable and challenging to reach as today?

San Yongli's hands trembled a little; she felt increasingly uncertain in her heart as she stared at Luo Ning, the fifth Earthly Saint Alchemist of the Sealed Region. This development was absurdly fast. Her plans for the Chosen King Competition could experience certain roadblocks due to the variable that was Wei Wuyin and this Alchemic Expo. Moreover, she realized that she needed to seize every opportunity in the remaining two years or suffer a severely horrific disadvantage.

While these products had just hit the public eye, excluding the Neo-Dawn Heavenly-Origin Paste, the rest could've been devised decades ago and capitalized on by those under Wei Wuyin. Only now did she realize that the competition for this next Chosen King Competition wasn't limited to Wei Wuyin or Tian Yinwu, while also allowing her to understand why Wei Wuyin could deal with an Incarnation of a Demi-Mortal Lord, establishing himself as a genius cultivator.

With the Neo-Dawn Vortex-Zone Pellet, this finally made sense why Wei Wuyin was able to grow his skills in the Dao of Alchemy and his cultivation without suffering a loss in either. More importantly, the Neo-Dawn lineage also seemed spectacularly impressive, sufficient to birth Mortal Sovereign Alchemists and Earthly Saint Alchemists!

"Without further ado, we will initiate the final round of a three-week break before the last and final segment." Tian Xiaocheng announced, her tone carrying an undercurrent of sadness. As she did, Luo Ning gave her thanks as she quietly withdrew, vanishing from the stage. Tian Xiaocheng hesitated slightly as she observed the ruckus that was unfolding as countless cultivators rubbed their hands in anticipation of the resources they would receive.

She couldn't help but chuckle in her heart at their reactions. Wei Wuyin was certainly spoiling these cultivators. Which Alchemic Expo would be able to compare to this? Whether it was the King of Everlore or Evergod himself, their expos could not compare in terms of scale or resources spent.

"Well, the King of Everlore had brought forth the Seven World Wonders of Everlore, a compiled theoretical set of Mystic-World graded products, shocking the world and causing countless to see his path as only the beginning. But after he left, I wonder if Alchemic Sovereign Wei could catch up." The Empress was left speculating as she retreated, giving one final glance at the World of Eden's abundant crowd.

A gorgeous, harmonious smile lifted from her lips as she turned away, softly uttering: "It was fun."

When she vanished, the center stage became empty. There wasn't any lonely coldness there, just a lingering warmth of memories. However, most were simply too focused on their newly acquired boxes of resources and their contents to notice.

The only exception was the Everlore Association, whose resources were seized by Evergod. The only exception was San Yongli, who refused to allow Evergod to take anything else from her, and San Luoyang could only relent out of guilt.

The echoes of hectic and focused cultivation began as people digested their enlightenment alongside some peaceful cultivation and discussion with their friends, families, and spouses. No one knew when, but a sentence started to spread widely throughout the World of Eden as the discussions regarding the 'final' segment swept across various areas.

"If only we didn't have to leave the Neo-Dawn Starfield so soon."

This sentiment echoed across most people's hearts as the environment and freedom they experienced in the Neo-Dawn Starfield were far greater than some of the lower-ranked starfields. Moreover, it wasn't even close. The Aeternal Sky Starfield was widely considered a holy land due to the Supermassive-sized Aeternal Sky Star, but the Neo-Dawn Starfield was not only larger due to its two layers, but the Neo-Dawn Defiant Star that shone upon them was incredibly astonishing.

Despite mainly being in the World of Eden, the benefits of simply existing in the Neo-Dawn Starfield with their real bodies were felt by countless cultivators over the short period. It was incomparable! Moreover, the Neo-Dawn Starfield was incredibly underdeveloped, so there were no obscenely high prices to purchase rich land or rent it from the other major forces.

If only.

If only.

If only!

Before long, by the end of the first week, the discussions went rampant as those Qi Condensation Realm cultivators who brought along their entire families began to dream energetically about the possibility. Some were even shameless, thinking, what if they refused to return? Would Wei Wuyin forcibly send them off?

Probably...but it was still a possibility?

While the idea was mostly passed along as a harmless joke, some of these family-bound men were seriously considering trying to stay long-term for the benefit of their children.

"..." Tian Muyang would surreptitiously listen in on ordinary cultivators' conversations from time to time, finding their discussions quite interesting. In truth, even he had the desire to stay; only those who lived in the Aeternal Sky Starfield and visited the lands beyond, especially at the furthest-most edges of its radiance, would understand the significant difference between environments.

The Aeternal Sky Starfield had the greatest concentration of mystic-graded materials solely due to the Aeternal Sky Star's solar essence emissions that tainted both celestial bodies and spatial realms. How else could they deliberately cultivate mystic-graded materials on a large scale?

"Are you spying on others again?" Tian Lingyu eyed Tian Muyang curiously and suspiciously. She had caught Tian Muyang projecting to various locations and lingering in areas with renowned Immortal Saintesses of the younger and older generation. It felt as if he was prowling for another concubine.

Tian Muyang chuckled despite being caught, having no shame on his expression at all. He didn't dwell on his harmless antics, asking: "What do you think about the Neo-Dawn Starfield's environment?"

Tian Lingyu froze awkwardly. She was just thinking of how to stay longer, her cheeks faintly blushing as she recalled her actions from earlier, and the chances were that, under the pretense of escorting the Empress back safely, she would be staying behind.

One of the reasons she wanted to stay was to cultivate and bathe under the radiance of the Neo-Dawn Defiant Star. It was simply too incredible. Throughout these months, she had kept inspecting the environment with her Spiritual Sense, just like everyone else, no doubt, and found that the Neo-Dawn Defiant Star's radiance was not only harmonious between Mortal and Mystic Essences without a Mystic Radiance Belt, but there was also a gentleness to its essence that made it easier to absorb. It seemed that the Astralis Dawn Mist from earlier was refined from it, and it intrigued her to no end.

Moreover, the effects it had on the environment were astonishing. Some farmers at the Qi Condensation Realm had idly planted some plant-based resources after seeking permission, and those plants had already shown signs of reaching the astral-graded level. The nearby world also had signs of various natural-born high-leveled astral-graded cultivation grounds, including some that gave off faint mystic auras.

Clearly, its six months of existence had given birth to astonishing levels of natural resources. Given the two layers of the Neo-Dawn Starfield, World Dawn and Defiant Dawn, the sheer potential growth was likely unprecedented. The Aeternal Sky Starfield might not be able to compare.

"It's amazing," she said quickly. Tian Muyang could hear the faint awkwardness in her tone.

"Of course, it's amazing," Yang Chaoyue chimed in with a smile. Despite her status, she likely had a closer relationship with Tian Lingyu than any other member of the Imperial Clan, mostly attributed to their rivalry and recent couplings by the Divine Emperor's orders to do things together.

Tian Lingyu rolled her eyes.

Yang Chaoyue eyed Tian Lingyu before saying with a mischievous smile: "Here's a tip for later: Don't be afraid of its size; it'll only feel better as you relax more." Feel better?

Tian Lingyu was instantly taken aback. What was she talking about?

Tian Muyang and Tian Shangyang were men and instantly understood the meaning, their eyes widening instantly. The latter coughed out the liquid material he was about to ingest. Yang Chaoyue had no filter!

Tian Lingyu frowned slightly, and when Yang Chaoyue's meaning dawned on her, her expression immediately reddened, completely uncharacteristic of an Earthly Saint of her prestige but completely on brand with her status as an inexperienced virgin.

Wasn't she openly exposing her intentions?

This bitch!

Before long, the two were in a spiritual transmission argument.

Tian Muyang ignored them, focusing on the grand scale of the event.

The three-week break ended promptly.

After the set time, subconsciously, everyone sent their attentions to the center stage to catch sight of the astonishing beauty that was the Empress, wondering what type of outfit she would wear today and what kind of aura she would give off for this last segment.

Suddenly, silver-colored mist circulated throughout the center stage, swirling mysteriously and causing everyone to guess what was happening. The mist wasn't too thick, nor was it too light. A ripple surged through the World of Eden.

"I must first say," a voice filled with an extraordinary peerless charm and confidence that could break the heavens echoed throughout the world, "it is an extraordinary honor to have each and every last one of you participate in this expo of mine." The silver mist gradually started to fade as a tall, immortal-like silhouette emerged at the center, slowly walking forward. With each step, the mist grew thinner and thinner.

"He's here!" San Yongli's eyes brightened.

"He's here." Evergod's eyes brimmed with killing intent.

"He's here!" Lin Ming's fists clenched tightly.

"He's here..." Yang Chaoyue, Tian Lingyu, and a few others said gently, their eyes sparkling.

"He's here." Tang Xingyun and Tang Baibai said simultaneously, their emotional tones were filled with incredible complexity.

"He's finally here!!" Everyone's heart raced as the silhouette gradually grew clearer, causing countless cultivators to subconsciously approach the furthest limit that the Projection Link and Proximity Link would allow!

The silvery mist vanished, revealing the unearthly visage of the man that had single-handedly caused the ushering of the next era.Their eyes widened in surprise as they saw his face, flawlessly masculine and peerlessly unique. They knew that Wei Wuyin was said to be handsome! But this...

As he took center stage, even the Empress and Tian Dingjian, on an objective scale, were lacking by just a single level. With a faint smile that caused all sorts of physiological reactions in countless women, ruining an unprecedented number of undergarments, Wei Wuyin arrived garbed in silver alchemist robes and black clothes beneath.

"Welcome!"
