74: Chapter 072 Confrontation
74 -072 Confrontation
Xiao Ye returned to the valley, pushed open the courtyard gate, and walked in, finding Yu Fang and the other two sitting in the courtyard.
“Third Brother!”
“Third Brother!”
“Third Brother!”
Seeing Xiao Ye walk in, the three of them greeted him with joy.
“Third Brother, you’re finally back.
If you had not returned, we were about to go to the sect to find you!” Li Wufeng said excitedly.
“Yes, Third Brother, you’ve been gone for a month, we were worried sick.” Long Shaojie added.
“Third Brother!” Yu Fang stared at Xiao Ye and asked, “Tell us, was it that mutt Gu Chudong causing trouble for you, giving you some particularly dangerous mission?”
Faced with his roommates’ questioning, Xiao Ye felt a warm feeling in his heart.
Ever since he left Xiao Family Village, he rarely felt such warmth.
Xiao Ye smiled slightly, sat down in the courtyard, and explained the situation briefly.
Of course, he omitted the matters about the Treasure Beast.
After hearing Xiao Ye’s words, Yu Fang angrily slapped the table: “Damn it, I knew that dog Gu Chudong wasn’t up to any good!
One day, I’m going to deal with him!”
“Yeah, he’s gone too far!” Li Wufeng and Long Shaojie were also very angry.
“Third Brother, I need to borrow some points from you.” Xiao Ye suddenly said.
“Borrow points?” Li Wufeng was startled, “We are brothers, no need for borrowing.
Just take it and use it as you need.”
Li Wufeng said this, taking out the points token from his body and handing it to Xiao Ye.
“This token still has five thousand points, take it and use it, I don’t need it right now.”
Xiao Ye felt moved, knowing how important points were to an outer disciple, Li Wufeng saying this was likely to not make him feel too burdened.
“Second Brother, thank you.” Xiao Ye put away the points token, remembering Li Wufeng’s kindness in his heart.
Then, without tarrying, Xiao Ye left in a hurry and headed to the Treasure Pavilion.
“This Third Brother, his seat’s not even warm yet and he’s gone again.” Yu Fang said, half laughing, half crying.
“Big Brother, should we tell Third Brother about Bai Meng?” At this moment, Li Wufeng asked.
Hearing this, Yu Fang’s expression became solemn, he shook his head and said, “Better not tell Third Brother, it’s better that he doesn’t feel too much pressure.”
“Alright.” Li Wufeng nodded, “Up till now, I can’t believe Bai Meng actually broke through to the Innate Realm Third Level and passed the second layer of the Puppet Tower.”
Yu Fang snorted coldly, “There’s nothing we can do, that Bai Meng, though arrogant, has indeed outstanding talent.
Even the Golden Robed Elder appeared that day and said he definitely has the potential to become an inner sect disciple within two years.”
The three brothers sighed for a while, then returned to their rooms to cultivate, knowing Xiao Ye had returned safely, they were relieved.
…
Xiao Ye made his way straight to the Treasure Pavilion, and when he took out his points token to exchange it for the chance to enter the Chongyang Secret Realm, everyone was stunned.
“It’s you again?
You want to enter the Chongyang Secret Realm again?” The Treasure Pavilion Elder was baffled.
Xiao Ye’s prodigal behavior had left a deep impression on him, and now this kid was about to squander again?
After confirming Xiao Ye indeed had ten thousand points, the Treasure Pavilion Elder’s expression became peculiar.
In such a short time, it was quite rare for an outer disciple to acquire ten thousand points again.
“Come with me.” The Treasure Pavilion Elder deducted the ten thousand points, settled the matters of the Treasure Pavilion, and led Xiao Ye to the Chongyang Secret Realm.
Just like last time, as soon as they approached the valley where the Chongyang Secret Realm was located, Xiao Ye saw Elder Lingyang sitting cross-legged on a large stone at the entrance. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
“Elder Lingyang, I’m here to escort an outer disciple into the Chongyang Secret Realm.” The Treasure Pavilion Elder respectfully saluted.
“It’s you again, kid?” Elder Lingyang opened his eyes, with a flash of surprise in them.
“There’s only nine months left until the outer disciple contest; are you planning to use the Chongyang Secret Realm to cultivate and achieve a good result?” Elder Lingyang asked.
Xiao Ye chuckled and did not answer directly.
Outer disciple contest?
If he could train in the Chongyang Secret Realm again, he was confident he could pass through the Puppet Tower before the outer disciple contest.
By then, he would already be an inner sect disciple, why would he care about the outer disciple contest?
“Alright, go in.” Elder Lingyang waved his hand.
“Thank you, Elder Lingyang.” Xiao Ye bowed and stepped into the canyon.
Boom!
As soon as he stepped into the canyon, a vast and dense Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi rushed toward him, and through the rolling fog, he could see many figures.
Each silhouette emitted very strong True Qi fluctuations, these people were all inner sect disciples.
“It won’t be long before I become an inner sect disciple too, I still have to enter the depths of the canyon to cultivate!” Xiao Ye’s gaze was filled with firm determination, he then went to the farthest edge to sit down, bringing his consciousness into the Time Tower.
Boom!
As Xiao Ye executed the Four Tripod Heavenly Technique, the vast Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi surged toward Xiao Ye through that single acupoint, refining half into the physical body and half into Innate True Qi, which was absorbed into the dantian.
The fog in the canyon rolled, all the inner sect disciples were diligently cultivating, and naturally did not notice an extra outer disciple in the canyon.
Even if they had noticed, they wouldn’t have intervened.
Two days later, Xiao Ye’s consciousness exited the Time Tower, slowly opened his eyes, and two rays of light shot across the void.
“Finally, Innate Realm Third Level!” Xiao Ye stood up, his face full of excitement.
If he were outside, it would have taken at least three months to break through to the Innate Realm Third Level.
Compared to two days ago, his power increased by several times, and combined with the power of the physical body, he was comparable to a martial artist at the late stage of the Innate Realm Third Level.
This meant he was already standing at the peak of all outer disciples!
Moreover, not including the Martial Arts True Intent, otherwise, he could easily sweep through the entire outer sect.
“Even now, my strength is still not enough to pass the Puppet Tower.” Xiao Ye contemplated.
The third layer of the Puppet Tower contained a hundred puppets each with the strength of a late-stage Innate Realm Third Level, to pass through, he must refine his physical body to one ding power.
“But with nine months left until the outer disciple contest, it’s enough time for my cultivation to break through to the late stage of the Innate Realm Third Level.” Xiao Ye smiled slightly and then left the Chongyang Secret Realm.
At the entrance of the canyon, Elder Lingyang sat cross-legged on a boulder as usual, like a withered tree.
Xiao Ye didn’t disturb him, performed a respectful salute to Elder Lingyang, then turned to leave.
“Hmm?
This kid broke through again?” After Xiao Ye left, Lingyang opened his eyes, a flash of surprise in his murky eyes.
Then, this surprise transformed into a smile.
“I guessed right, this kid’s cultivation speed can rival those with an upper-class number of acupoints, could it be that he possesses a dark acupoint?” Lingyang murmured to himself.
Xiao Ye didn’t know that every advancement he made in the Chongyang Secret Realm was witnessed by Lingyang.
“I truly look forward to this kid’s future.
The sect hasn’t had a new inner sect disciple in a long time.” Lingyang closed his eyes again.
…
After leaving the Chongyang Secret Realm, Xiao Ye returned to the valley where outer disciples resided.
The massive Martial Arts Training Ground in the valley was filled with people, the atmosphere was fervent, and the noise was deafening.
In the middle of the plaza, a boy was sparring with a young man, their vast Innate True Qi swept the entire place, creating gusts of wind.
The boy, with handsome features and wild black hair, had eyes full of feral glimmer, had actually reached the early stage of the Innate Realm Third Level, overwhelmingly strong, forcing the young man to retreat repeatedly.
This boy was none other than Bai Meng, who had entered the sect at the same time as Xiao Ye, a genius among geniuses!
In contrast, the young man, in his twenties, with a cultivation higher than Bai Meng’s by a small realm, was completely overpowered by Bai Meng, barely managing to avoid being defeated.
“Hmph, you’ve been in the sect five years longer than me, and this is your strength?
Funny how you’re ranked in the top ten of the entire outer sect.” Bai Meng, filled with battle intent, pointed at the young man’s nose and scoffed.
Hearing Bai Meng’s words, the young man gritted his teeth, humiliated.
“Today, I, Bai Meng, will step on you to climb up and establish my invincible name!” Bai Meng stepped toward the young man, his vast Innate True Qi sweeping out, making it daunting to approach.
Bai Meng raised his head, letting out a long howl, and his palms, like two immense mountain peaks, submerged the young man with vast Innate True Qi.
Bang, bang, bang!
The young man fought back desperately, yet achieved little result and was eventually sent flying by a powerful strike from Bai Meng’s overbearing attack, crashing heavily to the ground, pale-faced and spitting blood.
At this moment, the entire plaza was silent for several seconds before erupting in thunderous cheers.
Because that young man wasn’t just any outer disciple, but a renowned figure in the entire outer sect, with a cultivation reaching the mid-stage of Innate Realm Third Level, enough to rank in the top ten.
Yet now, he was strongly defeated by Bai Meng.
There’s no denying Bai Meng’s possession of thirteen acupoints enabled his cultivation speed to be astonishingly fast.
Since entering Chongyang Sect, apart from suffering setbacks twice at the hands of Xiao Ye, he had been making spectacular progress, far ahead of the disciples who entered at the same time.
Now, Bai Meng had even defeated a senior disciple ranked in the top ten, making other geniuses at the Son of County’s level completely convinced of his prowess.
“Nine months from now, at the outer disciple’s new tournament, I will definitely be first!” Bai Meng surveyed the scene; his eyes brimming with confidence were hard to meet directly.
In the midst of them, Ye Wuhen, Chen Huan, and others felt a heavy pressure in their hearts.
Bai Meng was like an insurmountable mountain, making them gaze in awe.
“To be so arrogant with just early-stage Innate Realm Third Level cultivation?
Really an idiot.” Off the plaza, Xiao Ye paused, shook his head, and turned to leave.
In his view, Bai Meng challenging that youth served no purpose other than seeking attention.
He’d be better off using the time to cultivate and pass the Puppet Tower to become an inner sect disciple.
“Xiao Ye!”
Suddenly, Bai Meng’s voice came from behind, causing Xiao Ye to stop and turn around.
Only to see Bai Meng step forward, stopping ten steps away, his robe fluttering despite no wind.
“You walk away when you see me, are you hiding from me because you’re scared?” Bai Meng stood with his hands clasped behind his back, a mocking smile on his lips.
