"Little sister, keep the elixir safe, we should be on our way."
Yun Muxue reminded her, prompting Yun Xiaoyao to quickly agree, though before departing, she looked in the direction Ye Xuan had gone, a hint of puzzlent rising in her eyes.
This big brother... why... why do I feel he seems so powerful... almost... far more powerful than my sisters...
Yun Xiaoyao murmured inwardly. She couldn’t discern Ye Xuan’s cultivation, but as a rare spiritual body, her sensitivity to energy was exceptionally keen. She vaguely sensed that Ye Xuan was extraordinary, despite no aura being released, he gave her a strong impression.
Yet how exactly strong, Yun Xiaoyao dared not determine, but she felt Ye Xuan shouldn’t be inferior to her sisters, likely an impressive figure at the initial stage of the Immortal Realm.
...
Walking in the mountains, Ye Xuan was leisurely alone, the recent happenings couldn’t affect his state of mind. If it were the past, he wouldn’t have said a word, just annihilated Yun Muxue and the others on the spot.
However, after opening the first Heavenly Gate, he fell into a profound and elusive realm, his state of mind evolved, revealing his future path as perilous and hard. His true enemies were the supre beings of eternity, forbidden figures, and ultimately the mastermind behind everything.
As for those people earlier, they were rely ants along the road.
If a few ants could affect his state of mind, then Ye Xuan’s cultivation up to this point would really be as worthless as cultivating on a dog.
Yet, that little girl did indeed extinguish Ye Xuan’s killing intent, not out of rcy, but because he saw sothing called kindness in her eyes.
Kindness!
A term extrely unfamiliar to Ye Xuan, for he lost the aning of those words in his youth, realizing that so-called kindness only rendered him weak.
An array of negative descriptions—ferocity, brutality, venomousness, violence—were his synonyms.
In Ye Xuan’s eyes, kindness was simply a joke.
But, Ye Xuan knew there were always those in the world who were innately kind.
The deepest impression for Ye Xuan was Gu Xiaoxiao from the Human World, also Gu Beichen’s sister.
Her kindness once touched him, revealing that the world wasn’t solely cruel—there existed people with light in their hearts, possessing what he lacked.
And that lacking part was what so called kindness.
Perhaps, Ye Xuan just wanted to preserve such people, or perhaps he saw the past Gu Xiaoxiao in this little girl, those few noisy ants weren’t worth worrying over.
The mountain path was arduous, leading straight to the Heavenly Vault, beyond which was the realm of the Heavenly nding Sect.
Amidst endless clouds and jade halls, spiritual light floated between heaven and earth, ethereal and pervasive as waves. As the top sect in the Central Domain, the Heavenly nding Sect was indeed extraordinary.
Ye Xuan ascended the mountain path, not hastily, as ti had passed long, he hadn’t seen Liu Baiyi for ages, and he reminisced about their past along the way.
To Ye Xuan, those challenging Liu Baiyi were re jokes.
Though Ye Xuan didn’t know Liu Baiyi’s current cultivation, he was certain of one thing—with Liu Baiyi’s Wushuang talent of eternity, his cultivation must surpass him, perhaps already opened the fourth Heavenly Gate, becoming a figure of the second stage in the Immortal Realm.
Finally, Ye Xuan reached the mountain top, raising his eyes to the vast Heavenly nding Sect in the Heavenly Vault.
At this mont, he had no further hesitation, stepping forward, ascending to the sky!
...
Heavenly nding Sect.
The nine hundred and ninety-nine tiered Heavenly Ladder, all made of White Jade Crystal Stones, at the end of which stands a Heavenly Gate, passing through which one enters the Heavenly nding Sect.
"Call Liu Baiyi, the Divine Son, to fight."
"What? The dignified Divine Son Liu Baiyi, his cultivation shakes the heavens and the earth, even hailed as the Supre Seed, is he avoiding battle?"
"Humph, what Divine Son Liu Baiyi? I, Xue Yi Tian, shall teach him a lesson."
"Can the so-called Liu Baiyi withstand my three-foot blade?"
In front of the majestic Heavenly Gate, over a hundred terrifyingly imposing young figures stood, with various clamors echoing, the weakest among them were at Wendao Realm, clearly disciples from various major sects.
At the forefront were the red-robed man and the green-robed man, one the Saint Heir of the Blood Clothes Sect, the other the Saint Heir of the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect, both at the initial stage of the Immortal Realm, indeed their montum was formidable.
"Everyone, our sect’s Divine Son has been in retreat for many years, accepting no challenges; we ask everyone to please leave."
Before the majestic Heavenly Gate, two Great Elders of Immortal Realm were blocking the way, facing the Saint Heirs and Holy Daughters from various Daoist sects, they frowned as these individuals represented the Daoist traditions. If they were repelled, it would antagonize the sects backing these Saint Heirs.
Though the Heavenly nding Sect was strong, they didn’t wish to make too many enemies. Therefore, these two elders were sent to block the clamoring crowd.
"Ridiculous, we heard before that so Supre Daoist sect’s heir ca to challenge Divine Son Liu Baiyi—though they eventually left defeated, it ant Divine Son Liu Baiyi accepts any challenge. Just because we are not heirs of Supre Daoist traditions, does your Heavenly nding Sect look down on us?"
"Indeed, we know our cultivation is inferior to the Divine Son Liu Baiyi, but as mbers of the younger generation, we would like to seek guidance from him. Is your Heavenly nding Sect really so arrogant that you refuse to even spar and discuss the Dao?" Another voice added indignantly, stirring up the situation.
Clearly, these people didn’t co to truly challenge Liu Baiyi.
They ca to have a battle with Liu Baiyi so they could later claim they fought with him, and even if defeated, the encounter would greatly boost their reputation.
After all, Liu Baiyi’s fa is imnse. He has never been defeated and is regarded as one of the top five in the Central Domain, considered the strongest candidate in the next era’s ultimate contest.
Moreover, everyone who battled Liu Baiyi was allowed to leave safely, contributing to why so many in the younger generation challenged him.
Otherwise, why don’t these supposed young Heavenly Prides dare to go to places like the Undying Heavenly Palace or the Swallowing Heaven Demon Hall?
Because they are afraid of dying; facing other Supre seeds ans certain death, and they are wise enough not to gamble with their lives.
At this mont.
Ye Xuan had already reached the end of the Heavenly Ladder and witnessed the scene, causing him to frown slightly. Clearly, Brother Baiyi has been deeply troubled in recent years, with so many ants making noise here.
Calmly and indifferently, Ye Xuan walked forward, completely ignoring these wastes, heading directly toward the towering Heavenly Gate.
"Please inform Liu Baiyi that an old acquaintance has co to visit," Ye Xuan appeared silently at the towering Heavenly Gate, looking calmly toward the two Great Elders, his voice serene and unperturbed.
"Big brother?"
Ye Xuan’s appearance imdiately caused Yun Xiaoyao to exclaim in surprise, as she hadn’t expected him to appear here.
Unfortunately, Ye Xuan didn’t respond to Yun Xiaoyao’s call at all, for to him, passersby were just passersby, and his visit was solely to reunite with Liu Baiyi. He had no interest in anything else.
Seeing Ye Xuan offer no response, Yun Xiaoyao’s eyes dimd, her face showing slight disappointnt.
"Is it you?"
Yun Muxue was also surprised to see Ye Xuan here, as she found him mysterious and sowhat ntally unstable.
"You brat, you’re far from challenging the Divine Son Liu Baiyi, get to the back of the line. There’s no place for you to speak here," a man in red clothes rebuked harshly, having wanted to teach Ye Xuan a lesson earlier and was surprised he ca here as well.
"Kid, do you really think you can challenge the Divine Son Liu Baiyi?"
Amused, the man in green clothes smiled mockingly, thinking Ye Xuan timid, or he wouldn’t have handed Yun Xiaoyao the Spiritual Origin Pill and hurriedly left earlier, fearing for his life.
"Get lost quickly, you think you can challenge the Divine Son Liu Baiyi?"
"Who are you? Move aside at once, don’t delay us challenging the Divine Son Liu Baiyi."
Various rebukes and contemptuous remarks arose, making the atmosphere exceedingly noisy.
"Friend, please leave, our sect’s Divine Son doesn’t accept challenges from anyone," the two Great Elders advised Ye Xuan, also mistaking him for a challenger to Liu Baiyi.
"Didn’t you two understand ? Go inform Liu Baiyi that an old acquaintance has arrived."
Annoyed by these ants, a murderous intent flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes. Though he scorned these wastes, if they disturbed him, he wouldn’t hesitate to clear them out.
Most exasperating was that the two elders seed foolish, failing to comprehend his clear words and considering him a challenger to Liu Baiyi.
"You brat, get out of my way."
Before the two Great Elders could respond, the impatient man in red clothes attacked Ye Xuan, unleashing terrifying Immortal Divine Power ant to severely injure if not kill Ye Xuan.
"Watch out!"
Yun Xiaoyao exclaid with a pale face, urgently warning Ye Xuan.
"You fools really seek death."
Ye Xuan’s patience was depleted, his voice turning icy as he abruptly turned around, triggering the Destruction Eye, followed by an exceedingly strange occurrence.
Buzz!
The man in red clothes was suddenly immobilized in mid-air, as if ti and space around him had stopped, his face filled with fear and disbelief.
Bam!
One strike, just one strike!
No one saw how Ye Xuan acted; they only saw the man in red clothes explode in mid-air, turning into a shower of blood mist.
"Waste."
Ye Xuan murmured indifferently, as if doing sothing casual, leaving the area in deathly silence, void of any trace of life.
