Chapter 2415 - 2416: Late Dao Sovereign Stage! First Update
The Divine Grade Pill was refined, and even without absorbing it, Ye Qiu could feel the effects once it was absorbed.
Even at his Daojun level, he was somewhat tempted to swallow it in one gulp.
However, he restrained this impulse and placed the Divine Grade Pill in front of Pu Zhen.
Pu Zhen looked at the Divine Grade Pill and didn’t take it immediately. He could sense the energy contained within this pill, which would be quite beneficial to Ye Qiu.
"Junior Brother, I fear that I cannot accept this pill; it’s too precious."
At first, Pu Zhen had just wanted to give it a try and didn’t expect Ye Qiu to actually refine it. A Divine Grade Pill! Even when he was at the Daojun realm, Pu Zhen had never seen such a high-level pill before.
Ye Qiu smiled and said, "If we run out of pills, I can refine more. As long as there are enough materials, refining as many as needed is no problem. With this, Senior Brother, you can quickly return to the Daojun realm. Moreover, these days, you have helped me a lot. Consider this as my way of repaying you."
These days, Ye Qiu faced some challenges in martial arts, and Pu Zhen had provided him with valuable answers. The help he received was significant. Such teachings in martial arts could not be traded with pills.
Therefore, giving the Divine Grade Pill to Pu Zhen didn’t make him feel the slightest stinginess.
Pu Zhen hesitated for a moment before eventually accepting it. He thanked Ye Qiu and then forcefully handed over some of the remaining top-grade Spirit Grass and Spirit Fruit from his possession to Ye Qiu.
"Young man, you should accept these. I have already taken advantage of you. These materials should be enough for you to refine another Divine Grade Pill. Once I’ve regained my strength, I’ll return to the ancient city to find Canaan and Defeng to gather the Spirit Grass and Spirit Fruit they have collected for you. These heavenly materials and earthly treasures will only reach their true potential with you."
After receiving the Divine Grade Pill, Pu Zhen went into seclusion to cultivate, confident in his ability to regain his Daojun strength.
Refining a Divine Grade Pill consumed a lot for Ye Qiu, so he immediately began to recover.
Of course, his gains were substantial. Besides gaining experience in refining Divine Grade Pills, Ye Qiu reached a deeper level of understanding of his own soul. Previously, at his lower realm, his knowledge of the soul was vague, but through the refinement of the Divine Grade Pill, he had a deeper insight into his soul.
Ye Qiu also entered a state of cultivation, intending to study soul-related matters carefully.
Half a month later, Pu Zhen emerged from seclusion. As Ye Qiu had anticipated, Pu Zhen used the Divine Grade Pill to truly return to the Daojun level.
Moreover, the Divine Grade Pill helped increase Pu Zhen’s strength beyond what it was before.
"Congratulations." Ye Qiu smiled, genuinely happy for Pu Zhen.
"Junior Brother, if I’ve regained my strength, I owe it all to you. I owe you a tremendous favor."
"No need to mention it. If you want to thank me, how about sparring with me?"
"I was thinking the same thing."

The two of them were both at the Daojun realm, and exchanging experiences was mutually beneficial. After all, at their level, it was challenging to find someone to converse with.
Now with the opportunity available, both were eager to test their skills.
The two sparred in the depths of the cosmic abyss, without unleashing their true Daojun power. Otherwise, the surrounding stone walls would shatter completely.
In this way, Ye Qiu cultivated daily, sparred with Pu Zhen, and discussed martial arts. If they had any questions, they would consult the Lord of the Galaxy.
Time flies when one is engrossed in something; before they realized it, another two months had passed.
During these two months, Ye Qiu achieved a lot. After refining a Divine Grade Pill for Pu Zhen, he used the remaining materials to refine one for himself, causing another stir in the ancient city of the galaxy.
On another note, Ye Qiu made progress in his Six Paths Reincarnation technique.
The Six Paths Reincarnation was created by Ge Tian, but its current attack power was far from meeting Ye Qiu’s needs. So, Ye Qiu spent significant time compensating for the deficiencies in the Six Paths Reincarnation.
In the process, Ye Qiu gained new insights that further enhanced the power of the Six Paths Reincarnation. Even Pu Zhen found it challenging to deal with the newly improved Six Paths Reincarnation.
Even the Lord of the Galaxy praised Ye Qiu’s outstanding talent, which took the Six Paths Reincarnation to new heights.
Ye Qiu had already stayed in the cosmic abyss for almost half a year, and his strength finally advanced from the mid-stage of Daojun to the late stage, nearing the peak of Daojun.
Once he reached the peak of Daojun, Ye Qiu could attempt to break into the Supreme realm, bringing him one step closer to the Creation realm.
However, breaking through again wouldn’t be that easy. His breakthrough pace had been swift enough, going from entering the Daojun realm to the late stage in under a year—a speed even the Lord of the Galaxy in his days couldn’t match.
Pu Zhen needn’t be mentioned. Every time he faced Ye Qiu, he envied him greatly.
Initially, when he sparred with Ye Qiu, Pu Zhen still held the upper hand. But as time went by, he found himself less and less on the advantage until, eventually, he was under Ye Qiu’s control during the fights.
Being a senior brother getting overwhelmed by a junior was too embarrassing.
Consequently, when Ye Qiu wanted to spar again, Pu Zhen refused, unwilling to face such disgrace.
With no other choice, Ye Qiu turned to spar with Canaan and Defeng. They were already a whole realm lower in strength compared to Ye Qiu, so even if he suppressed his power to match theirs, he still defeated them easily. At first, they were accommodating, but as Ye Qiu continually sought to spar, they eventually isolated themselves.
Ye Qiu was quite helpless since there were only a few powerful beings in the ancient city of the galaxy, and he had sparred with them all.
Ye Qiu was becoming a nightmare in the ancient city of the galaxy, and even enforcers avoided him. The guards within the city held tremendous admiration and respect for Ye Qiu.
Now, everyone knew of Ye Qiu’s glorious exploits. The Heavenly Palace was destroyed because of him, and the Heavenly Emperor was slain by Ye Qiu. His feats were enough to be remembered for generations.
Moreover, Ye Qiu, having refined Divine Grade Pills multiple times, whether his identity as a Martial Artist or an Alchemist, instilled fear and awe in everyone.
Although they envied him, they didn’t dare interact with him like Pu Zhen, Canaan, and Defeng did.
Even if they were of similar age, the difference in strength was evident.
Every appearance Ye Qiu made was met with respectful addresses from the guards.
Having spent so much time on the Galactic Road, Ye Qiu thought about returning to his ancestral land. Though reviving everyone was his goal, it wasn’t something that could be accomplished quickly.
He had family to find, especially Caroline, Dugu Ao, and Uncle Dugu Qiujian.
With his current level of power, mobilizing the resources of the entire ancestral land to find them wasn’t difficult.
After making this decision, Ye Qiu informed Pu Zhen and left the Galactic Road, heading directly to the ancestral land.
