354: Chapter 353 Departing the Mountain 354: Chapter 353 Departing the Mountain “A hundred years, huh?”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s excitent cald down.
It was only temporary, after all.
“A hundred years is quite a long ti.
If it were up to us, we might not last three years…” one of the elders couldn’t help but say with a bitter smile.
Everyone nodded in agreent with deep conviction.
Although each of them possessed the power to reach heaven and earth and to burn mountains and boil seas, in this matter, they were indeed incapable.
“It’s only a temporary asure.
To truly succeed, we need the complete Dragon Raising Technique,” Ye Xuan said with a light smile.
“If possible, you’d better make contact with the Supre Pavilion.”
“Only the Dragon Raising Technique from the Supre Pavilion has been successful,”
Ye Xuan said again.
In this world, the only successful dragon cultivators were from the Supre Pavilion.
In this world, only the Supre Pavilion was capable of such a feat.
Of course, Ye Xuan was capable as well.
But such matters involved too much, and Ye Xuan had no interest in dealing with them.
“Those guys at the Supre Pavilion are even more rigid than us; getting the Dragon Raising Technique from them is harder than reaching the heavens,” the Sovereign of the Sect said, shaking his head.
“I’ll help you make the connection so other day,” Ye Xuan said with a light smile.
“Eh?!”
Upon hearing this, everyone was startled.
“Not now, we’ll talk about it later,” Ye Xuan added.
That indeed made everyone breathe a sigh of relief; they had thought Ye Xuan really had connections with the Supre Pavilion.
They saw nothing inappropriate with Ye Xuan’s words.
They had witnessed Ye Xuan’s terrifying talents, the kind that could cross the end of the Heavenly Ladder and cause the Immortal King Bell to ring—an unimaginable future surely awaited.
And by then, Ye Xuan would naturally be on speaking terms with the Supre Pavilion.
Moreover, knowing Ye Xuan’s talents, the Supre Pavilion would surely go to great lengths to woo him.
Soday, Ye Xuan might indeed connect the Immortal King Hall and the Supre Pavilion.
With these thoughts, everyone’s spirits were lifted.
“Let’s go.”
Ye Xuan said and took the lead in leaving.
None of the other elders left imdiately; instead, they stayed around the Array World left by Ye Xuan and kept praising it.
It was only the Sect Leader who promptly followed Ye Xuan.
“Young Friend Ye, the matters at Emperor Immortal Sect are arranged; will you accompany to the sect next?” the Sect Leader said quietly as he walked by Ye Xuan’s side.
Ye Xuan yawned, responding indifferently, “You’re planning to take on disciples using an avatar?
That’s hardly sincere.”
The Sect Leader smiled sheepishly, “Then, I’ll go after I erge from my retreat.”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, “Don’t worry about joining ; I need to return ho.”
“Alright, let see you out,” the Sect Leader said, nodding.
The two walked side by side to the front of the great hall of Immortal King Hall.
“Mr.
Ye!”
Seeing Ye Xuan appear, Zhu Jiangtao’s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly called out.
“Greetings, Sect Leader.”
Zhu Jiangtao then saw the Sect Leader by Ye Xuan’s side and was startled, promptly bowing respectfully.
“Oh, you’re still here?” Ye Xuan was sowhat surprised.
“He’s now a registered disciple of the Immortal King Hall and can stay here,” the Sect Leader said with a smile.
Zhu Jiangtao bowed even lower, “I must thank Mr.
Ye for his care and the Sect Leader for his grace.”
He had not anticipated that Ye Xuan’s ascent to the end of the Heavenly Ladder would cause such a stir in the Immortal King Hall, bringing him benefits and making him a registered disciple allowed to stay at the Immortal King Hall.
This was truly a leap in status!
In the past, he could only be considered a nial disciple of the Immortal King Hall, managing miscellaneous affairs and handling matters of the Immortal King Valley.
But now, he could receive teachings from the elders of the Immortal King Hall, which was like ascending to the heavens for him.
And all of this was thanks to Ye Xuan, sothing Zhu Jiangtao was very aware of.
Thus, during this half-month since entering the Immortal King Hall, he did nothing else but wait here for Ye Xuan.
“I didn’t expect the Immortal King Hall to bend the rules this ti,” Ye Xuan said with a light smile, not making further comnt.
The rules of the Immortal King Hall were notoriously rigid.
It was unexpected that they would make an exception for Zhu Jiangtao because of him.
“Zhu Jiangtao, see Mr.
Ye down the mountain,” the Sect Leader told Zhu Jiangtao.
“I will obey your command, Sect Leader Supre!” Zhu Jiangtao said respectfully.
Eventually, Zhu Jiangtao accompanied Ye Xuan down the mountain.
After watching Ye Xuan leave, the Sect Leader sighed softly, “Such a prodigy, a pity he wasn’t born into our Immortal King Hall.”
“Such a pity, such a pity!”
…
Zhu Jiangtao took Ye Xuan away from the Immortal King Hall, returning to the Immortal King Valley.
Master Cang Song also ca to pay his respects as soon as possible.
“Valley Master, Sir!”
Master Cang Song said respectfully.
Ye Xuan and Zhu Jiangtao both nodded slightly.
“Sir, have you joined the Immortal King Hall?” Master Cang Song said, his voice tinged with nervosity.
Over the past half month, he had been nervous.
Considering Mr.
Ye Xuan’s formidable reputation, joining the Immortal King Hall probably wouldn’t have been an issue.
But he was quite aware of the Heavenly Ladder at the Immortal King Hall, and he knew how difficult it was to ascend; even geniuses knelt before it.
The genius from the Sun Swallowing Sect was full of confidence initially, yet he too had knelt at the Ninth Rank.
Hearing Master Cang Song’s words, Ye Xuan shook his head slightly.
Joining the Immortal King Hall was out of the question; he had only gone there to make a trade.
Seeing Ye Xuan shake his head, Master Cang Song actually sighed in relief.
If he had really joined the Immortal King Hall, what would have beco of him?
“May I know how many ranks Sir managed to pass?” Master Cang Song asked again.
Upon hearing this, old Zhu Jiangtao’s face showed a hint of excitent.
Even half a month later, he still rembered the scene vividly.
Ye Xuan casually stepped up the ninety-nine ranks, triggering the Immortal King Bell to ring, and the mountain resounded with uniform chis of Sword Bells; purple aura swept across ninety thousand li.
Such a combination of anomalies was simply terrifying!
Zhu Jiangtao, however, dared not say more, quietly waiting for Ye Xuan to speak.
“I was fortunate to pass ten ranks,” Ye Xuan said with a light smile, casually lying.
“Ten ranks?!”
Master Cang Song was stunned, and he stuttered, “Sir, didn’t you say you haven’t joined the Immortal King Hall?”
Ten ranks!
Wasn’t that qualification enough to join the Immortal King Hall?
Why hadn’t Ye Xuan joined?
However, Ye Xuan’s next sentence almost made Master Cang Song stumble and nearly fall.
“The Immortal King Hall is too boring.”
This sentence left Master Cang Song utterly defeated.
The Immortal King Hall, too boring?!
Goodness!
Do you know how many people are desperately trying to get into the Immortal King Hall?
How co it becos boring when it cos to you?
However, these thoughts Master Cang Song dared not voice, he could only bitterly laugh it off and resign himself to acceptance.
Zhu Jiangtao, witnessing the scene, remained quietly silent.
Mr.
Ye only ntioned ten ranks; if he had revealed that he passed ninety-nine ranks and rejected an invitation from the Immortal King Hall, it probably would have scared Master Cang Song to death.
But this was a secret, and Zhu Jiangtao would keep it in his heart, never to reveal it.
This was also the first command given to him by the Immortal King Hall.
After all, the matter was too shocking.
If leaked, it could bring endless troubles upon Ye Xuan.
“Sir, do you need to stay in the Immortal King Valley for a while?” Master Cang Song changed the subject, “I have maintained the practice as you instructed for half a month; indeed, it has improved significantly.”
Ye Xuan shook his head slightly and said, “I am leaving.”
“Very well, let escort you, Mr.
Ye,” Master Cang Song said respectfully.
“No need, I rember the way I ca,” Ye Xuan said, shaking his head and leaving alone.
Seeing this, Master Cang Song didn’t dare to follow, and could only watch as Ye Xuan departed.
“Mr.
Ye must be a divine being too!” Master Cang Song couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Of course,” Zhu Jiangtao said matter-of-factly, “Do you know, it is because of Mr.
Ye that I am now a registered disciple of the Immortal King Hall and allowed to stay there.”
“What?!” Master Cang Song shuddered, his gaze following the direction Ye Xuan had left, filled with even greater reverence.
“In any case, we must not show any disrespect when we et Mr.
Ye in the future; we must fulfill any requests he makes!” Zhu Jiangtao declared.
“Yes, Valley Master!” Master Cang Song said seriously.
Master Cang Song wasn’t a fool, and after hearing Zhu Jiangtao’s words, he realized that Ye Xuan’s performance in the Immortal King Hall involved more than just passing ten ranks.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the Valley Master to beco a registered disciple of the Immortal King Hall.
The rules of the Immortal King Hall are notoriously strict.
Yet they had made an exception for Zhu Jiangtao all because of Ye Xuan; was this really just for passing ten ranks?
Clearly not.
However, Master Cang Song was also wise, and he refrained from saying anything more.
