93: Chapter 091 Danger and Opportunity 93: Chapter 091 Danger and Opportunity The storm in the Judgent Hall ceased with the arrival of the Fourth Elder.
Xiao Ye violated the sect rules and was exiled to the Death Swamp for one year, a verdict that quickly spread throughout the entire Inner Sect.
But at that ti, no one cared about this news anymore, because Zhao Qian, the Heaven’s Chosen Son of Chongyang Sect, had returned from his training outside, imdiately capturing everyone’s attention.
The na of Zhao Qian was too illustrious in Chongyang Sect.
He stepped into the Innate Realm at the age of fifteen, was taken as a Direct Disciple by the Great Elder amongst the Black Robed Elders, possessed fifteen Acupoints, a talent that was rare to see in a hundred years within Chongyang Sect, second only to a genius with the Emperor’s Stature, and his cultivation speed was unparalleled among his peers.
Even the rarely-seen Vice Sect Leader erged from seclusion because of him, causing Chongyang Sect to boil over with excitent and clamor.
Nightfall descended, with countless stars twinkling in the sky.
Within the mountain peak where Inner Sect Disciples resided, Xiao Ye sat in his own solitary courtyard.
“Hmph, do they really treat as a criminal?” Xiao Ye’s gaze turned towards the darkness outside the house, where two Golden Robed Elders were sitting crossed-legged.
Ever since he ca out of the Judgent Hall during the day, he had been confined to his residence, unable to take a single step outside.
“Zhao Qian!” Rembering the scene from the day, Xiao Ye clenched his fists, a cold gleam surging in his eyes.
Based on his estimations, Zhao Qian’s cultivation has probably reached the Eighth Layer Heaven of the Innate Realm.
To have such cultivation at the age of eighteen, how astonishing was that?
One must know that most of the Golden Robed Elders couldn’t even compare to Zhao Qian.
It had to be said that the gap between him and Zhao Qian was very large.
“No matter how large the gap, I have the confidence to catch up with you!” Xiao Ye was not discouraged, his palm brushing over the tower-shaped seal on his chest.
Ti Tower was his greatest reliance; he had confidence in overtaking any opponent.
“I’m setting off tomorrow, what kind of place is the Death Swamp?” Xiao Ye frowned and pondered.
The biggest predicant in front of him was the Death Swamp.
Judging by everyone’s reaction, that place was definitely extrely dangerous.
Moreover, he knew nothing about that place.
If he died there, everything would beco empty talk.
With two Silver Robed Elders outside now, he couldn’t even leave the main gate, let alone learn about the Death Swamp.
Just then, a movent outside startled Xiao Ye awake, followed by a figure pushing the door and entering.
“Xiao Ye, you must be having a headache over the matter of the Death Swamp, aren’t you?” A familiar voice ca.
“Elder Lingyang!” Seeing the visitor, Xiao Ye was first startled, then overjoyed.
Ling Yang arrived just in ti.
As a Golden Robed Elder, he must know a lot about the Death Swamp.
“Xiao Ye, I ca to tell you about so matters concerning the Death Swamp; this is very important to you,” Ling Yang said with a solemn expression.
Xiao Ye nodded and listened attentively.
It turns out that hundreds of miles away from the Chongyang Mountain Range, there was a vast swamp.
It was filled with countless poisonous insects, and there was also a very strong gravitational force within.
Even Martial Artists in the Innate Realm found it difficult to survive there, hence it was called the Death Swamp.
Chongyang Sect simply exiled those who committed heinous cris to that place, which was essentially equivalent to a death sentence.
Since the founding of Chongyang Sect hundreds of years ago, only one person had ever walked out alive.
Listening to Ling Yang finish, Xiao Ye felt heavy-hearted because the Death Swamp was too dangerous.
“Xiao Ye, since ancient tis, danger and opportunity have always coexisted!” Suddenly, Ling Yang said aningfully.
Xiao Ye’s face was full of confusion.
Ling Yang’s previous words spoke only of the dangers of the Death Swamp.
What opportunity could there be?
“Actually, twenty years ago, amongst the Black Robed Elders of our Chongyang Sect, there was also a Sixth Elder,” Ling Yang said with a sigh.
Xiao Ye perked up imdiately, listening intently.
“That Sixth Elder was the youngest and had very average talent, yet he cultivated the Four Tripod Heavenly Technique,” Ling Yang said.
Xiao Ye was greatly surprised to hear this.
The Four Tripod Heavenly Technique was created by the Supre Empress and had very high requirents for cultivation.
Without the Emperor’s Stature, it was very difficult to cultivate successfully.
The Sixth Elder, with his average talent, dared to cultivate the Four Tripod Heavenly Technique.
Wasn’t that a joke?
Seeing Xiao Ye’s reaction, Ling Yang knew what he was thinking and said with a smile, “Do you think the Sixth Elder was overestimating himself?”
“But you are wrong!
Realizing his talent was average, the Sixth Elder gave up his own cultivation and instead delved into the mysteries of the Physical Body, which is why he chose the Four Tripod Heavenly Technique.”
“The Sixth Elder was a scholar of Heaven’s Tao, had great determination, and through exploration, he actually created a Secret Technique that separated the Body Cultivation thod from the Four Tripod Heavenly Technique.”
“He didn’t need the refinent of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, and quickly tempered his Physical Body to the power of Three Cauldrons, and he was even a hair’s breadth away from breaking through to the Four Cauldron Power.
With his formidable Physical Body, he was hailed as the foremost person under the Innate Extre Martial Artists and eventually beca a Black Robed Elder.”
What!
Xiao Ye’s eyes widened in disbelief, and his heart was shocked to the extre.
A Secret Technique that could temper the Physical Body to such an extent without the need for the refinent of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, how powerful it must be.
For a mont, Xiao Ye couldn’t help but respect the Sixth Elder.
“If I could obtain that kind of Secret Technique, as long as I can temper my Physical Body to the power of Three Cauldrons, even Martial Artists in the Late Ninth Layer of the Innate Realm could contend.
Would I still fear Zhao Qian?” Xiao Ye’s heart pounded.
The Secret Technique created by the Sixth Elder was absolutely fatally tempting to him.
After cultivating the Four Tripod Heavenly Technique, Xiao Ye felt that breaking through the Physical Body was even more difficult than the Cultivation Realm.
It was uncertain how long it would take with just the refinent of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.
The secret technique created by Sixth Elder is simply like a cheater’s device, capable of directly boosting the power of the physical body.
“Elder Lingyang, do you think this has sothing to do with the Death Swamp?” Xiao Ye asked with a frown.
Although he was very interested in the secret technique created by Sixth Elder, surely it wouldn’t be in the Death Swamp, right?
“Of course, it’s related.
Initially, Sixth Elder went to the Death Swamp to break through the Four Cauldrons Power by refining his physical body with gravity.
However, he encountered an accident and never returned.
The secret technique he created also remains in the Death Swamp,” Elder Lingyang said slowly.
“There truly is a mix of danger and opportunity,” Xiao Ye sighed bitterly upon hearing this.
Even a powerhouse like Sixth Elder fell in the Death Swamp, which spoke volus of its peril.
However, for that precious secret technique, it was worth the risk.
“Here is a map of the Death Swamp; hopefully, it will be of use to you.” Elder Lingyang took out a roll of map from his chest and handed it to Xiao Ye.
“Thank you, Elder Lingyang.” Xiao Ye took it with an excited face.
When Xiao Ye unfolded the map, his face lit up with excitent, because the map was incredibly detailed, marking even the places where powerful ferocious beasts and poisonous insects lurked in the swamp.
With this map, his chances of getting out alive greatly increased!
But soon, Xiao Ye beca puzzled and looked up, asking, “Elder Lingyang, where did this map co from?”
Clearly, the map had been created after soone explored the Death Swamp.
Who had the capability to enter the Death Swamp and map it out?
He didn’t believe it was Elder Lingyang’s doing.
“You don’t need to worry about that.
I hope you can return safely in a year’s ti,” Elder Lingyang changed the subject, handed Xiao Ye so elixirs for detoxification and healing, and then left.
Xiao Ye shook his head helplessly; ever since he entered the Inner Sect, Elder Lingyang had taken great care of him and always seed very mysterious.
“Elder Lingyang, thank you,” Xiao Ye said silently to himself.
He believed in repaying kindness tenfold.
Elder Lingyang had been good to him, and he would certainly repay this favor.
“The Death Swamp will be where I transform!
I must find the Body Secret Technique created by Sixth Elder!” Xiao Ye’s whole body was filled with strong confidence.
At this mont, he was very much looking forward to the Death Swamp.
As long as he could quickly break through the power of his physical body to gain a foothold, he could take his ti with cultivation; with the Ti Tower in hand, he had no need to worry about that at all.
The next morning, Xiao Ye pushed open the courtyard door, stepped out, and shouldered the Fla Saber.
Going to the Death Swamp now was very dangerous; naturally, he would bring the Fla Saber with him.
“Let’s go,” Xiao Ye said to the two Golden Robed Elders who were watching him.
Seeing Xiao Ye’s appearance, a flash of surprise crossed the Golden Robed Elders’ eyes, then they nodded and led Xiao Ye away.
They paid no heed to the weapon Xiao Ye carried.
With the Fla Saber sheathed, they couldn’t recognize it as a powerful Xuan Artifact.
The two Golden Robed Elders, one in front and one behind, escorted him like they were escorting a prisoner, quickly drawing the attention of many Inner Sect Disciples.
“Humph, he deserves it for refusing ,” Qin Nan ca out from the Chongyang Secret Realm just in ti to see this scene and scoffed.
Boom!
Suddenly, a powerful wave of force swept across the heavens, pressing down on the Inner Sect Disciples so much that they could barely breathe.
Xiao Ye turned his head to see a purple shadow floating towards him, her beauty peerless, like a fairy.
“Liu Yiyi!” Xiao Ye’s eyes turned cold, his breathing quickened—a na he could never forget erged in his heart.
Indeed, the person arriving was the Direct Disciple Liu Yiyi.
The news that Xiao Ye had been exiled to the Death Swamp had finally reached Liu Yiyi’s ears.
That country boy from before had also co to Chongyang Sect and even beca an Inner Sect Disciple.
Liu Yiyi moved with incredible speed, her purple dress billowing, and her hair fluttering.
It must be said, the current Liu Yiyi had a certain charm of an extraordinary beauty, not at all like the naïve young girl from before.
At the sa ti, a difficult to conceal arrogance was present on Liu Yiyi’s stunning face.
“Xiao…
Ye!” Liu Yiyi stopped, standing about ten steps away from Xiao Ye, looking rather complex.
The childhood playmates from the past now had vastly different statuses and identities—ti changes everything.
“Is there sothing you need?” Xiao Ye took a deep breath, suppressing his turbulent emotions, and asked coldly, as if facing a stranger.
Hearing the indifference in Xiao Ye’s voice, Liu Yiyi was taken aback, then her complex expression disappeared in an instant.
“You won’t be able to survive a year in the Death Swamp.
As long as you’re willing to admit your mistake to Zhao Qian sincerely, in consideration of our past, I can help you once, and make Brother Zhao Qian change his mind.”
“I know you may not accept this, but life is more important than pride,” Liu Yiyi said, her lips slightly parting.
Admit a mistake?
Xiao Ye scoffed inwardly; he had done nothing wrong, so why should he admit fault?
And to bow to Zhao Qian, no less.
“Liu Yiyi, it’s been two years, and your tactics are still as childish as ever!” A smirk flashed across Xiao Ye’s face, and then he resolutely turned around.
The young figure radiated defiance, striding toward the direction of the Death Swamp, leaving Liu Yiyi alone where she stood.
