"Emperor Peak?"

This chapter is updated by freēwēbnovel.com.

"Sure, I do have some matters to attend to. Once I'm done, I'll come find Senior Sister, and perhaps... give you a surprise."

Ye Han said with a smile, a hint of mystery in his tone.

After parting with Gu Yunzhu and Mo Qingrou, Ye Han made his way towards Emperor Peak.

Emperor Peak, one of the "Six Paths" main peaks of the Academy!

Ye Han had joined the Human Path not long ago and was soon cast into the Netherworld Realm for three months.

As a successor of the Human Path, he had yet to visit Emperor Peak.

As Ye Han approached Emperor Peak, he noticed that the Academy was much livelier than before.

A few months ago, it was rare to see Inner Disciples, but now he could occasionally sense the aura of Inner Disciples at the Qi Explosion Realm.

Sometimes, he would even sense the unfathomable and powerful aura of some disciples, likely the mysterious True Disciples.

This was probably all due to the Academy's grand assembly that had started a few days ago.

Ye Han had learned about this grand assembly from the Primordial Void Records. It was a competition among the disciples of the Academy, a battle where the victor would receive rich rewards. It was also the hope and beginning for some to truly rise.

As Ye Han proceeded, many disciples gathered to watch. The events at Nether Peak had spread before he even set out.

The onlookers and followers didn't seem to harbor any ill will; they were simply curious.

Ye Han didn't care about these gazes. He walked with a dragon's stride, an invisible aura of confidence surrounding him.

Although still an Outer Sect disciple, his confidence and self-assurance now surpassed many unapproachable Inner Disciples.

"Nie Yuan, He Qingfeng, Zhao Yijian?"

"You three, long time no see."

Ye Han suddenly spotted them and waved in greeting.

The three of them emerged with wry smiles.

Even the talkative Nie Yuan, who had lost his usual casual demeanor, seemed somewhat fearful: "Greetings, Brother Ye Han!"

"Hmm?"

"Am I that frightening, the way you three are looking at me?"

Ye Han said with a smile, patting their shoulders in a familiar manner:

"Don't call me brother; we're all friends here."

"Alright!"

Seeing Ye Han's approachable demeanor, Nie Yuan and the others relaxed a lot.

"Lately, no one's been causing trouble for you, right?" Ye Han asked.

"No!"

The three of them responded in unison.

"That's good, otherwise I'd feel quite guilty."

Ye Han touched his nose: "I have important business at Emperor Peak. I'll come find you after?"

"Sure, Ye Han, be careful. We've heard that some people are targeting you lately. Yin Tianxiu and some big shots from the Limitless Sword Sect seem to have returned." Nie Yuan looked around cautiously, especially when he mentioned Feng Wuliang.

"I'm not afraid of them!"

Ye Han winked before leaving: "Whoever dares to bully us will get the same treatment as Lu Yunxiao."

"Ah?"

The three were stunned, not expecting Ye Han to be so nonchalant.

"I told you, Ye Han isn't that kind of person."

After Ye Han left, He Qingfeng glared at Nie Yuan.

"That's right, Ye Han hasn't changed, but our mentality has. No matter what, the three of us need to seize the opportunity to shed our menial status and advance to Outer Sect disciples as soon as possible," Zhao Yijian also said.

Emperor Peak!

The towering peak stood straight against the sky, its spiritual energy incredibly dense.

Countless lush trees reached for the heavens, and numerous precious herbs were planted among them. Approaching the peak, one could smell the fragrant herbs, refreshing both mind and spirit.

Ye Han was somewhat surprised; this was his first encounter with such a treasure mountain within the Academy.

The resources accumulated within this peak were unimaginable, enough to make anyone envious. It was indeed worthy of being the main peak of the Human Path, one of the Six Paths.

Others could not enter at will, but Ye Han had no such restrictions.

Under the burning and envious gazes of many, Ye Han extended his hand and used the Nine Heavens Dragon Control Technique to infuse the unique aura of the Imperial Extreme World-Shocking Record into the transmission array at the base of Emperor Peak.

In three breaths, Ye Han had vanished without a trace, transported to the summit.

At first glance, the vast sky and misty clouds surrounded him, with no other peak in sight that could match the height of Emperor Peak, giving a sense of overlooking all other mountains.

"What a unique will!"

Ye Han couldn't help but mutter to himself.

He sensed a subtle will lingering in the world, akin to the will of kings, emperors, and sovereigns.

Ye Han was well aware that such a will could bring great fortune to any martial artist on Emperor Peak, especially in strengthening one's own convictions, with unimaginable benefits.

Ahead, various buildings were neatly arranged, each with its own style.

The most eye-catching was, of course, the Emperor Hall!

Ye Han headed towards the Emperor Hall, and soon he could hear some noise.

It seemed that there were quite a few people inside the Emperor Hall, quite lively.

"The Human Path has long been in decline, not abolished only due to historical reasons."

"But the old must be replaced. It cannot always occupy the empty name of the Human Path. Li Futu, have you made up your mind?"

As Ye Han approached, such voices came from inside the hall.

"You all seem a bit too eager."

Inside, Li Futu's voice responded: "The struggle of the Six Paths hasn't even started yet. When the time comes, we can discuss further after the outcome is clear."

"The struggle of the Six Paths, where are the disciples of your Human Path?"

"Could it be that Li Futu, the master of the Human Path, is going to take action?"

Voices in the hall carried a sneering tone, filled with mockery.

Li Futu fell silent, speechless for a long while.

At the top of the hall.

Li Futu sat on the central throne, casting a cold glance at the few people present: "My Human Path has already established a successor."

"A successor?"

"Is the master of the Human Path referring to that Ye Han?"

A young voice emerged, with a hint of mockery: "A minor figure at the Third Layer of the Divine Power Realm?"

"Martial arts reach to the heavens, not to be judged by early stages."

"The future of the Six Paths in this Academy is still uncertain. You, a brat from the Beast Emperor Path, are quite presumptuous."

Li Futu seemed to be conversing with the young man, and despite the mockery, he did not get angry, probably accustomed to it by now.

"I'm presumptuous?"

"There's no need for Master Li to put on such a brave front. If you really lack people, our Beast Emperor Path can lend you two to fill the ranks, so the struggle of the Six Paths won't be too embarrassing."

After the young man finished speaking, the hall erupted in laughter...

"Disrespectful to your elders, lacking in manners, truly fitting for someone from the Beast Path."

Suddenly, an abrupt voice came from outside the hall, silencing the room in an instant.

Everyone's gaze converged as the doors of the hall were slowly pushed open, and Ye Han stepped in.

"Seeking death, daring to insult our Beast Emperor Path!"

Inside the hall, a young man in a white robe burst with energy, his face ashen.

"Isn't it just the Beast Path? What's there to insult? Are the people of the Beast Path all so hypocritical?"

Ye Han glanced at the man, his words calm and collected.

He swept his gaze over the people in the hall and then bowed to Li Futu above: "Greetings... Master!"

"Who are you?" the young man in the white robe stared intently at Ye Han.

"And what are you, some cattle or horse?" Ye Han raised an eyebrow.

"I, Liu Chengping, am a disciple of the Beast Emperor Path."

"I entered the martial path at six, stepped into the Divine Power Realm at ten, reached the Ninth Layer of the Divine Power Realm at fifteen, and broke through to the Qi Explosion Realm at seventeen."

The young man in the white robe spoke proudly, his posture arrogant.

"I, Ye Han, just killed six at the Qi Explosion Realm."

Ye Han's gaze was icy, his eyes deep and boundless.
