Chapter 2046. Ye Yuan's test |
“Disciple is willing! Disciple Ning Siyu pays respect to Master!”
Ning Siyu had wild elation on her face, directly kneeling down toward Ye Yuan.
When she lifted her head again, Ning Siyu’s eyes already brimmed over with hot tears.
Ever since witnessing Ye Yuan’s breathtaking Alchemy Dao back then, Ning Siyu was deeply subdued by Ye Yuan.
Xuan Yu already could not teach Ning Siyu, so changing masters was long already due.
Except, how could wanting to enter Ye Yuan’s tutelage be such an easy thing?
Cultivating by Ye Yuan’s side these many years, she did her best, wanting to catch up to Ye Yuan’s footsteps, wanting to obtain Ye Yuan’s approval.
It was just a pity that the gap between Ye Yuan and her became bigger and bigger.
All the way until today, she finally obtained Ye Yuan’s acknowledgment, so how could Ning Siyu not cry with joy?
“It turns out that … Ning Siyu was really just Grandmaster Ye’s maidservant!”
“A measly little maidservant already has such terrifying strength. Grandmaster Ye’s ability in teaching apprentices is truly remarkable!”
“Sigh, it’s a pity that I couldn’t enter the top 20. Otherwise, I’ll definitely have to try. If I can become Grandmaster Ye’s disciple, that would really be soaring to the sky with one bound!”
…
In the plaza, several tens of thousands of gazes were gathered on Ning Siyu, envious to the extreme.
As for those 39 people, they were flustered beyond envy.
They did not know whether Ye Yuan would choose them or not, but they were willing to bet.
Once chosen by Ye Yuan, that would be soaring to the sky with one bound.
Since Ye Yuan was certain to step into the Ancestor Realm in the future, then what difference was there between choosing Ye Yuan and choosing an Ancestor Realm powerhouse?
On the grandmaster seats, Ye Yuan slowly nodded his head, accepting this kowtow calmly, then slowly opened his mouth and said, “As for the rest, all disperse.”
Everyone’s faces abruptly changed, looking at Ye Yuan in disbelief.
“Grandmaster Ye, this … this … please reconsider!” Luo Tianqi said with unwillingness.
Yun Yi clenched his jaws tightly, similarly with a look of unwillingness.
He required tremendous courage to stand here.
But Ye Yuan did not even give him a trace of chance.
The others opened their mouths one after another, all wanting to persuade Ye Yuan to change his mind.
Ye Yuan’s brows furrowed and he said impatiently, “Noisy!”
Everyone’s faces changed one after another, all shutting their mouths.
Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice, “If getting a place in the rankings can make you qualify to enter my tutelage, do you all think that Siyu will wait until today? Don’t mention this matter again!”
Ji Canglan’s incident left behind an indelible mark on Ye Yuan’s body. Hence, he would naturally rather go without than make do with something shoddy.
Ye Yuan did not doubt these people’s talents, but what has it got to do with him?
However great the talent, they were also just strangers to him.
These 39 people’s faces were ugly to the extreme.
Ye Yuan completely did not play the cards according to normal style!
In past periods, these geniuses were all very in-demand.
One should not look at how those grandmasters had a reserved manner. In reality, they valued the summit’s top few places very highly.
But Ye Yuan actually did not even take a look.
The group of grandmasters looked at this scene dumbfoundedly with their tongues tied. The geniuses that they could not even beg to come over, Ye Yuan actually cast them aside like a pair of worn-out shoes.
Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, this kind of place that suddenly rose up newly, what was most important were talents.
If Ye Yuan rounded them all up with one fell swoop and took all of these geniuses into his door, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City’s strength would surely skyrocket.
Did this guy figure out the situation or not?
In the crowd, a person suddenly knelt down. When everyone looked, who could it be if not Yun Yi?
He kowtowed toward Ye Yuan and said with an austere look, “Grandmaster Ye, as long as I can enter your tutelage, Yun Yi is willing to do anything. Yun Yi only requests that Grandmaster Ye can give a chance.”
Empyrean Pilljade was angered until his expression was livid. This kind of situation was what he completely did not expect.
His own descendant did not take him as master but wanted to go under other people.
Forget that he wanted to enter other people’s tutelage, the other person did not even appreciate it.
Forget that Ye Yuan did not appreciate it, Yun Yi even had to go and beg him.
Where would his old face go?!
“Yun Yi? If I didn’t remember wrongly, you’re Brother Pilljade’s descendant?”
Yun Yi’s expression could not help stiffening as he said with a nod, “Yes, Lord Pilljade is Yun Yi’s great-grandfather!”
Ye Yuan looked toward Yun Yi and said with a smile that was not a smile, “Then if I make you break off all relations with Empyrean Pilljade, can you do it too?”
Once these words came out, everyone’s countenance changed visibly.
This move of Ye Yuan was too vicious!
Empyrean Pilljade even stood up quickly, pointing at Ye Yuan and saying furiously, “Ye Yuan, you’re too much!”
But Ye Yuan’s expression did not change and he said coolly, “I already said that I’m not taking in disciples. It’s him who wanted to enter my tutelage. I’m just stating my terms, as for whether or agree or not, it will depend on him.”
Finished talking, he looked toward Yun Yi and said coolly, “How about it?”
But Yun Yi shook his head and said, “Ancestor’s kindness of love and care is higher than the heavens. It’s impossible for Yun Yi to betray Ancestor. Your Excellency, please change your conditions!”
When Empyrean Pilljade heard that, his face revealed a smug look and he said with a cold smile, “My Yun Family’s good grandson! Ye Yuan punk, don’t you think about sowing discord between us great-grandfather and great-grandson!”
Ye Yuan completely ignored Empyrean Pilljade, but looked at Yun Yi and said smilingly, “If I only have this condition?”
Yun Yi sucked in a deep breath, slowly stood up, and said, “If it’s like this, Yun Yi would rather not acknowledge you as a master. Farewell!”
Finished talking, Yun Yi clasped his hands toward Ye Yuan and left without even turning his head back.
“If you want to acknowledge me as your master, go to the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City’s Pill Tower yourself. Put down all of your identities, and be a little medicine boy. Maybe one day, I’ll consider it.”
Just as Yun Yi turned around and left, Ye Yuan suddenly said lazily.
Yun Yi’s entire body trembled. Turning around, he looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief and said doubtfully, “Grandmaster Ye, is … is this true?”
Ye Yuan said coolly, “If you had any look of hesitation on your face just now, there would be no chance. Entering my lineage, conduct is number one, disposition is number two, and talent is only ranked third. If a person who can betray even his ancestor, what is he if not an ingrate?”
Yun Yi looked toward Ye Yuan in incredible shock, only then knowing that it turned out Ye Yuan was testing him.
If he was really moved earlier, he would lose this only chance instead.
Yun Yi prostrated toward Ye Yuan and said with pleasant surprise, “Disciple pays respect to Your Excellency. Yun Yi will go to Heavenly Eagle Imperial City right away!”
Ye Yuan nodded his head and did not say anything.
Yun Yi knelt down in front of Pilljade too and said, “Ancestor, Grandchild is unfilial, but Grandchild wants to seek his own Alchemy Dao. Grandmaster Ye is the best choice! I know that Ancestor is doubtful, but if you understand Ning Siyu’s battle achievements, it will all be clear!”
Finished talking, Yun Yi directly turned around and left without even turning his head back, leaving behind everyone with stunned faces.
Brilliant rays of light shot out of Luo Tianqi’s eyes and he also knelt down and said, “Your Excellency, can you also give Tianqi a chance?”
Ye Yuan said coolly, “You all, those who are willing can all go. But you all have to think properly and be prepared. This test isn’t easy to pass.”
When everyone heard that, they were overjoyed.
When Ye Yuan saw the situation, he just laughed mockingly in his heart.
These people were also looking down on his test too much. They were all young masters of influential families, so how could they endure this kind of hardship?
He reckoned that having 10% that could stay would already be pretty good.
Chapter 2047. Where Are the People? |
Ning Siyu’s particulars were placed in front of the group of Empyreans very soon.
Everyone was rendered speechless.
A female Five-star Alchemy God could actually fight on par with initial-stage Dao Realm powerhouses.
This kind of strength was simply outrageous to hear.
Wasn’t this Ning Siyu a junior version of Ye Yuan?
With this, the group of Seven-star Alchemy Gods finally understood why these geniuses all wanted to choose Ye Yuan.
How could a barren place like Heavenly Eagle have some unparalleled genius? This Ning Siyu was definitely groomed by Ye Yuan!
At the very most, Ning Siyu merely followed Ye Yuan for a thousand years’ time but had such strength. It was truly dreadful to hear.
Everyone looked toward Ye Yuan like seeing a ghost. This guy … was truly a freak!
Empyrean Pilljade somewhat understood Yun Yi now. This great-grandson of his had an obsession with Alchemy Dao that normal people found hard to understand.
Witnessing Ye Yuan, this major power, how could Yun Yi not be moved?
If Yun Yi could really acknowledge Ye Yuan as master, it would also be a good thing to Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital.
Although he did not want to admit it, Empyrean Flutterfeather’s talent was indeed greater than his.
Now that he already lost to Flutterfeather, along with the passage of time, the likelihood of winning would be lower and lower.
But Yun Yi’s potential was far from exhausted. Once developed by Ye Yuan, surpassing Empyrean Flutterfeather in the future was also not something impossible.
Except … could Yun Yi really pass Ye Yuan’s test?
This season’s Cloudpill Summit’s disciple recruitment ended in such a theatrical style.
Apart from Ning Siyu, the other 39 people directly left Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital afterward and sprinted for Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.
Following that, the curtains were drawn for the grandmasters’ preaching on the Dao that had a duration of half a month.
A total of 14 locations was set up in the city, provided for 14 grandmasters to preach on the Dao.
Grandmasters preaching on the Dao could be said to be a welfare benefit. All of the alchemists in the city could choose the grandmaster that they admired in their hearts, and listen to the sermon, without any restrictions.
Lin Tong was a Five-star Alchemy God from a remote imperial city. He hurried over to Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital from a great distance just to listen attentively to grandmasters preaching on the Dao.
He did not have the qualifications to enter the inner-city to watch the Cloudpill Summit. The reason why he came to Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital was for the sake of this final grandmaster sermon.
In the outer-city, he also became acquainted with some people of the same profession and agreed to go and listen to grandmasters preach on the Dao.
“Lin Tong, which grandmaster’s sermon do you plan on listening to?” The one talking was called Song Zichun, a good friend that Lin Tong made in this period of time.
Lin Tong said without the slightest hesitation, “Is there still a need to ask? Of course it’s Empyrean Pilljade! He’s an Ancestor Realm powerhouse, the Southern Border’s number one person!”
Song Zichun chuckled and said, “Southern Border’s number one person? Your intel is really out-of-touch! Empyrean Pilljade lost to Empyrean Flutterfeather this time. The title of Southern Border’s number one person already changed owners!”
Lin Tong’s eyes opened wide and he said in disbelief, “Empyrean Pilljade is an Ancestor Realm powerhouse! How can he possibly lose?”
Song Zichun had the intention of showing off as he said with a smile, “You don’t know it yet, right? Empyrean Flutterfeather came prepared this time. He already broke through to Ancestor Realm. Furthermore, he defeated Empyrean Pilljade under the watchful gazes of everyone. The next Cloudpill Summit will be changing its name to be called Lustrous Gold Summit!”
“T-There’s actually such a thing?” Lin Tong said in surprise.
It was very hard for them all, these bottom-level martial artists, to get the inner-city’s information. It tended to be inquired from scraping together what everyone had.
Song Zichun had some connections in the inner-city, so the intel that he obtained was still considered more accurate.
Song Zichun said smugly, “Heh, although Empyrean Flutterfeather defeated Empyrean Pilljade, their light during this Cloudpill Summit was overshadowed by another person.”
Lin Tong was shocked by this series of information until he stared dumbfoundedly with his mouth gaping. He said blankly, “Could it be that … there’s still an existence even stronger than these two mighty Ancestor Realms?”
“Huhu, not to the extent of being stronger, but him surpassing these two mighty Ancestor Realms in the future wouldn’t be something hard.” Song Zichun said with a laugh.
Lin Tong let out a sigh in relief and said with a smile, “Looks like a remarkable genius emerged in this Cloudpill Summit.”
Many geniuses would appear in each Cloudpill Summit, this was not at all surprising. Lin Tong naturally would not take it to heart.
But Song Zichun smiled disdainfully and said, “Cloudpill Summit? Huhu, among all the juniors participating, this lord that I’m talking about is just a Third Firmament True God, also a Six-star Alchemy God. He’s an existence who already surmounted above all of the Seven-star Alchemy Gods and became a grandmaster! Not just that, all top 40 geniuses in this Cloudpill Summit wanted to acknowledge him as their master!”
Lin Tong’s expression became more exciting towards the back.
After Song Zichun finished saying, he chuckled and said, “Brother Song, you’re also exaggerating too much. A Six-star Alchemy God surmounted above all of the Seven-star Alchemy Gods? How is this possible?”
When Song Zichun saw that Lin Tong did not believe, he just smiled coldly and said, “Whether believe it or not, that is up to you. Either way, I’m planning on going to listen to Grandmaster Ye’s sermon, farewell!”
Seeing Song Zichun leave, Lin Tong laughed in spite of himself and shook his head.
Song Zichun blew his trumpet a little too hard. It was totally impossible for people to believe.
Actually, it was not just Lin Tong. The alchemists in the city presently were no fewer than several hundreds of thousands. They completely did not believe that a Third-firmament True God could make two great Ancestor Realms be cast into the shade.
When the grandmaster sermons started, Ye Yuan’s sermon site had the lowest count. There were only a scanty few several thousand people.
Most of these several thousand people were very young. They were all alchemists that participated in the Cloudpill Summit.
Preaching on Dao was different from alchemy battles in the end. No matter how strong Ye Yuan’s strength was, his accumulations were also not as long as other grandmasters.
Furthermore, Ye Yuan was just a Six-star Alchemy God after all.
Hence, everyone did not have much faith in his preaching on the Dao.
To many alchemists, this was an opportunity that only came by once every several thousand years. They were naturally not willing to waste it on a grandmaster who was young until it made people doubt.
When Lin Tong saw the ocean-like alchemists around him, he was immediately greatly reassured in his heart.
Song Zichun that fellow was definitely bragging. Maybe he’s also here listening to Empyrean Pilljade preach on the Dao himself. If that young grandmaster is really so formidable, everyone also wouldn’t come and listen to Empyrean Pilljade preaching on the Dao,” Lin Tong thought in his heart.
On the first day of the sermon, Lin Tong was wholly enraptured listening to it.
Ancestor Realm powerhouses were Ancestor Realm powerhouses, the experience and knowledge, the preaching on the Dao, absolutely surmounted all life.
Lin Tong’s alchemy strength was already considered very strong in the surrounding imperial cities. But his strength had already come to an end.
A measly little imperial city was already unable to let him improve further.
By chance, he heard the news of the Cloudpill Summit and rushed over to Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital without the slightest hesitation.
Now, hearing Empyrean Pilljade’s sermon, it made him have a feeling of being amidst cloud and mist.
That sort of feeling made him feel like he might break through at any time.
Heh, this is the strength of an Ancestor Realm powerhouse! This sermon might be my opportunity to break through! Lin Tong thought, being incomparably certainly in his heart.
But right at this time, very soft discussions suddenly came from around him.
Lin Tong’s brows furrowed, and he turned his head, wanting to express his displeasure.
When an Ancestor Realm powerhouse was preaching on Dao, they actually did not pay attention and were whispering to one another below.
But upon turning his head, he was immediately stunned.
Where were the people?
