"Ah?" Ji Jue looked bewildered.

"Don't even mention the Saintly Realm, even the Heavenly Person Realm is already out of your reach — too far off, so much so that you lack any real sense of it, which is why you dare act recklessly time and again."

Ye Xian shook his head, "The relationship between the Chosen One and the Power of Superior is inherently close. The Chosen One extracts the Power of Superior to achieve self-fulfillment. Likewise, many Chosen Ones act on behalf of the Power of Superior.

The two, just as described in Modern Alchemy — are like the 'whole' and the 'one,' inseparable and indivisible.

However, once a Chosen One becomes a Heavenly Person, the distinction between them and the Power of Superior becomes less clear, and in some respects, they can be considered a part of the Power of Superior.

The realm of the Saint or the Dragon is even more elevated.

The Saint engraves time, establishes origins, and even in death, their imprint persists in the world of the Power of Superior. The power they leave behind and the paths they create manifest and flow among many secret rituals and events.

The most notable among these is the Fluid Alchemy they founded... If she hadn't confirmed the realm of the Saint, do you think the effects of Fluid Alchemy would have been elevated to such a degree? If she hadn't permitted it before her death, would your learning speed have been so fast?"

People who reach such a realm are, to ordinary people, already no different from deities. Their power merges into the world itself, becoming part of the Power of Superior, circulating in all related domains.

Just like the two Saints who established the prototype of the Federation and the Empire — the Heavenly Governor and the Earth Emperor, even though they died hundreds of years ago, both countries are still covered by the laws of Tian Yuan they established, maximizing the stability within the lands. The likelihood of disasters and disruptions is far less than in other places, no need to hide and seek from natural disasters like the islands in the Endless Sea…

The splitting of the Central Earth Four Countries, the endless strife, isn't it also caused by the accumulated grievances and hatred from the battles of Heavenly People through the ages?

"It's best to maintain a sense of reverence in everything. Do not touch certain things unless absolutely necessary, understood? Forget it, talking about it won't help. You will understand everything once you suffer a loss yourself.

As your teacher, the only reminder I can give you is — do not take everything for granted just because of the old favor of mercury. The changes in the Power of Superior are unpredictable, and the reasoning of the Saints is the same. It is already not easy to maintain a fraction of spirituality up to now.

That is the last trace she left in the world. Future researchers, by observing these minor details, can confirm the existence of the forerunners and rediscover those lost skills and paths."

Professor Ye's expression grew solemn, "If you recklessly squander this favor, sooner or later you will completely exhaust that bit of spirituality mercury left in the Power of Superior, understand?"

Seated in his wheelchair, Ji Jue subconsciously tried to rise, but he twitched and couldn't manage.

All he could do was to force himself to sit upright and nod seriously.

Though he didn't understand most of it, he at least grasped one thing — the sanctuary lamp in the ancestral grave is limited; the unworthy descendants who squander too much will ultimately exhaust that limited ancestral grace.

It is not a good thing, neither for Ji Jue nor for those who might learn Fluid Alchemy in the future.

So, don't push your luck too far.

Besides... even the last time, with tools like Ghost Fetus, Ji Jue felt as if his dog brain was almost scattered by the Soul Summoning Bell.

Such coincidental opportunities that only happen with minimal likelihood are really not reliable as a lifesaver in critical times.

Now, seeing how earnest Ji Jue appeared, Ye Xian gave a slight nod, not sure whether to feel relieved or regretful. He had initially thought to give a few more punches if Ji Jue didn't shape up.

Looks like he could save some effort after all.

"Since Heavenly Skill and Spirit First have already transformed, with the assistance of Non-attack, your level in Fluid Alchemy should also be sufficient to qualify as a craftsman."

After a brief moment of contemplation, Ye Xian said, "It's time to accelerate the learning and research in Modern Alchemy.

Someone might come to contact you later, but you need not heed the association's invitations and promises. With me here, the pressure from the Taiyi Ring won't reach you; you don't need to appease those people.

Also, if you don't want me to kick you out, never apply to register as a craftsman with Fluid Alchemy, understand?"

Ji Jue was slightly taken aback.

Such strict tones and warnings from Professor Ye made him somewhat nervous — though he had not voiced it, when Ji Jue thought of slacking off, he had secretly considered, if the craftsman qualification exam for Modern Alchemy proved too troublesome, maybe he could consider taking a shortcut through Fluid Alchemy.

"Do you know how rich the Taiyi Ring is?"

Ye Xian asked bluntly and didn't wait for his response: "Today, over ninety-nine percent of patents in Modern Alchemy are registered by association members, monopolized by the association. Each year, just from these patents alone, the wealth the association garners is astronomical enough to wake the finance ministers of the Federation and the Empire from their dreams.

It's not just that; the power and status of artisans, the privileges they enjoy, the recipes, materials, and skill inheritances they need... in today's world, each and every person who needs alchemy can't avoid the presence of the Taiyi Ring."
