Unrivaled Medicine God, page 222
Who knew that Ye Yuan did not even furrow his eyebrows. He just said nonchalantly, "When soldiers arrive, send a general to block. When water floods, use dirt to keep it out. Junior Apprentice Brother don't need to worry. A puny little Tier 4 Array Master still can't stir up too big of a wave."
Zhao Xin was stunned and immediately said excitedly, "A Tier 4 Array Master isn't Senior Apprentice Brother's match either? That's fantastic! Senior Apprentice Brother, no matter what you do, we all support you fully!"
After slaying Ma Yi, Ye Yuan was already an existence akin to a divinity in the eyes of the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples.
As long as Ye Yuan did not fear, what did they have to fear as well?
Furthermore, killing Ma Yi greatly boosted the confidence of the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples too.
In their hearts, Soul Sea Realm was no longer an undefeatable existence anymore. Wasn't someone as powerful as Ma Yi finished off by Ye Yuan in one move too?
Although a Tier 4 array master was scary, seeing that composed look on Ye Yuan's face, Zhao Xix was instantly filled with confidence.
So what if Tier 4 array master?
With Senior Apprentice Brother Ye here, our Tranquil Cloud Sect could absolutely stand firm and not fall!
Ye Yuan said with a laugh, "Haha, it has been tiring for Junior Apprentice Brother. Go back and have a rest first. As long as us fellow apprentices unite and are of one mind, even if He Mingde personally came, what can he do to me?"
After Zhao Xin left, Ye Yuan moved to Victory Peak.
This place was originally the place where the sect grand competition took place. Currently, it had become a cultivation holy land.
In the entire plaza, there were roughly around 200 over Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples currently.
Among the remainder disciples, those who cultivated the sword were basically all here.
These disciples, some were currently meditating to comprehend sword intent, some were currently practicing the sword, some were currently breaking down moves, so on and so forth.
Ye Yuan briefly swept a glance around, but his gaze landed on Tian Yu.
Tian Yu was currently meditating with his eyes shut. Although the outside world was very noisy, he seemed to be residing in a different world.
Five days had already gone by since Ye Yuan inscribed the 'sword' characters.
In these five days, Ye Yuan would come here to observe the fellow apprentices' situation every day.
And in these five days, the one who improved the fastest was not Mo Yuntian, but it was Tian Yu!
Ye Yuan was extremely sensitive to sword intent. Any hint of change to the seniors and juniors, he would take it all into sight.
On the first day, Tian Yu stood in front of the huge boulder and did not move a muscle, looking at it for an entire day!
On the second day, Tian Yu did not go and look at those 'sword' characters anymore. He just meditated there the entire time.
In four days, the sword intent on Tian Yu's body condensed and did not dissipate, drawing the bow without discharging the arrow. It actually had the inclination of soaring to the skies.
The fellow apprentices were all comprehending the 'sword' characters on the huge boulders. But nobody approached within a hundred feet of Tian Yu's surroundings.
Mo Yuntian appeared beside Ye Yuan since God knew when, and likewise sized up Tian Yu in the distance.
"Junior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu's talent is exceedingly high. He just comprehended for a day's time in front of the words you inscribed and actually had such a huge improvement," Mo Yuntian said with a gasp of admiration.
Mo Yuntian was also a peerlessly talented individual. But compared to Tian Yu, he was still much worse off.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu is indeed shockingly talented. But, for him to be able to have such a huge improvement, it was also due lucky chances."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
"Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu grew up with many admirers surrounding him like stars surrounding the moon and has never suffered huge setbacks. This mystic realm journey, he was captured to become a slave by Fierce Gale World martial artists. This to him was undoubtedly unprecedented shame. After returning, Grand Elder Skymaple was detained by the Purple Mansion Sect, which stimulated his staunch personality even more. Before this, Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu had already comprehended the elementary form of true intent. Furthermore, his elementary form of true intent was born from the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art. That's why the words that I inscribed can have such great inspiration to him. Of course, there is still one point. My primary cultivation method is a fire-attribute cultivation method too. There is a trace of Concept of Fire contained inside the sword intent as well. Him reaping the greatest harvest is also something within reason," Ye Yuan explained.
When Mo Yuntian heard these words, he immediately saw the light.
"Sigh. To the present Tranquil Cloud Sect, what it lacks most of all is time! If Tian Yu and Wujiu this batch can grow up, our Tranquil Cloud Sect can rise up once again!" Mo Yuntian said with vicissitudes of emotion.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Passing down the flame. Tranquil Cloud Sect has a soul. It won't be extinguished!"
Ever since Ye Yuan entered the sect, while he had some unpleasantness with the Ouyang Family, he could sense the spirit that the Tranquil Cloud Sect passed down. The sect's upper echelons were all people who carried ambition.
From the State of Qin's Nine Heavens Road's Lu Yan, to Skymaple, to Luo Qingfeng, and Xiao Jian, they all had the spirit of lineal descent on them, which was the anticipation of the sect rising sharply anew!
For the sake of this goal, they could sacrifice themselves without any hesitation at all!
And this soul, unfolded likewise on the bodies of these disciples before his eyes most vividly.
Facing the besiegement of the Purple Mansion Sect, they chose to sacrifice their lives for a just cause.
With such a soul, Ye Yuan believed that the Tranquil Cloud Sect would not be destroyed.
At this time, Tian Yu who had been sitting quietly for four days got up once more and came before the huge boulder again to contemplate on the inscribed words on the huge boulder.
Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan gave a gentle smile and said, "Looks like the sect has hopes for a revival."
Chapter 456. Cheerily Confiden |
"En? What's the meaning of junior apprentice brother's words?" Mo Yuntian asked in confusion.
"You guess, which 'sword' character is he contemplating on?"
Mo Yuntian was stupefied briefly and looked at Tian Yu again, involuntarily shaking his head.
Tian Yu's head was facing very high upwards. But as for which 'sword' character he was looking at in particular, Mo Yuntian could not guess it.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "If my conjectures are correct, Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu is most likely already comprehending the 37th word."
"What?! 37th word. Doesn't that mean . . ." Mo Yuntian said in shock.
Ye Yuan nodded and said with certainty, "That's right. He's already comprehending the final nine words. As long as he can comprehend fully, his own true intent should be just about able to take form!"
The words that Ye Yuan inscribed on the huge boulder, each one was a minor realm. Every nine was a major realm, advancing level by level gradually.
Tian Yu was already comprehending the 37th word, meaning that he had already reached the final phase!
Wasn't such an improvement speed a little too fast?
"If Junior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu can really fully comprehend his own true intent, then it will truly be the Heavens not forsaking our Tranquil Cloud Sect! So long as we cross this tribulation, we'll surely soar to the skies at once!" Mo Yuntian was not dejected, but appeared very happy instead.
"Actually, the ones who comprehended the elementary form of true intent in our Tranquil Cloud Sect isn't just Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu alone. It's just I wonder if they are doing okay now?" Ye Yuan suddenly lamented.
"What? There's still somebody who comprehended the elementary form of true intent? Who is it?" Mo Yuntian was truly shocked.
"It's precisely the Long Tang who entered the sect together with me. In the sect grand competition previously, he already comprehended the elementary form of true intent." Ye Yuan said.
"Hiss . . . it's actually him!" Mo Yuntian looked at Ye Yuan like he had seen a ghost.
Mo Yuntian noticed one thing. People who were close to Ye Yuan all seemed to have obtained enormous benefits.
Tian Yu was so, Long Tang was so, Nanfeng Ruoqing was so. Even he himself was similarly like so.
Mo Yuntian did not know that even Skymaple and Luo Qingfeng's breakthroughs had close ties to Ye Yuan.
"Yes. Presumably, the sect has already discovered his talent. That's why they would arrange for him to withdraw to the Northern Domain to preserve their strength." Ye Yuan said.
Among these many seniors and juniors, to say who Ye Yuan was most worried about, it was naturally the Nanfeng aunt and niece, and Long Tang.
But, he enquired about. Among the secret team headed for the Northern Domain this time, there was the three of them. This also put Ye Yuan's mind at ease considerably.
"If it's like this, the Tranquil Cloud Sect can be said to have added a double insurance! Even if I have to risk this life, I, Mo Yuntian, will also have to ensure their safety!" Mo Yuntian said firmly.
Mo Yuntian knew that the sect's strongest genius was actually not Tian Yu, nor was it Long Tang, but this person before him.
It was just that him being together with Ye Yuan, not only could he not be of any assistance, he would instead become a burden.
Right now, it was Ye Yuan protecting the Tranquil Cloud Sect with his own strength, and not him, Mo Yuntian.
Without Ye Yuan, the Tranquil Cloud Sect would practically be utterly annihilated at this time, whence the resurgence?
The small and weak Ye Yuan back then already grew into a towering tree current, sheltering the sect from the wind and rain!
. . . . . .
After several days, a shout akin to rolling thunder echoed throughout the entire sect.
"Tranquil Cloud Sect's trash listen up. Give you all two days to come out and surrender! Otherwise, when the formation is broken, nothing will be left intact!"
The Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples were already in position long ago in the grand array's center. They could clearly sense two extremely powerful auras outside the grand array.
Very clearly, these two people were the Soul Sea Realm powerhouses, Liao Wenguang and He Jun.
Many Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples showed a nervous expression on their faces. Even though they were confident enough in Ye Yuan, facing Middle-Stage Soul Sea Realm powerhouses, they still not could avoid feeling fear.
Soul Sea Realm martial artist. Each minor realm had a tremendous difference.
The strength of Middle-Stage Soul Sea Realm was completely not what that Ma Yi could compare to.
"Want to come, then come! So much crap! If you have the capabilities, break this grand array before talking!" Ye Yuan's voice also transmitted out through the grand array.
Liao Wenguang's brows furrowed and said, "Humph! I want to see if this grand array of yours is really as powerful as rumored!"
With Ma Yi's failure serving as a warning, Liao Wenguang did not dare to be negligent. He directly took out his weapon --- a blood-colored long saber.
"There's a show to watch now. Grand Elder Liao's Blood Drinking Saber is a 128 restrictions spirit artifact. Couple with his Tier 4 martial technique, Blood Drinking Soul Severing Blade, it can be said to be unstoppable!"
"Yeah. I heard that when Grand Elder Liao was still at the Sea Transformation Realm, he once relied on this saber to cut down five experts of the same realm! Now that so many years have passed, this martial technique of his has probably attained perfection, right?"
"Tranquil Cloud Sect this pack of morons. To actually dare kill Grand Elder Ma. Truly causing their own ruin! Provoking Grand Elder Liao to come out is the dumbest thing that they have done!"
Liao Wenguang had already not come out of retirement for many years. These few years, he had been very low-profile as well, only appearing before people with First Level Soul Sea Realm cultivation.
But now, he suddenly erupted with Fourth Level Soul Sea Realm strength. Nobody dared to disparage him.
In all honesty, nobody dared to look down on Soul Sea Realm martial artists either.
Liao Wenguang stood in the air, standing firm far away. The saber momentum rose, and at the same time, a crimson essence energy storm howled in front of Tranquil Cloud Sect's gates instantaneously!
Boundless killing intent undulated out. That level of power gave people a feeling like the mountains were crumbling and the ground splitting; incomparably indomitable!
The Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples in the center of the formation distinctly sensed this pressure!
Compared to Ma Yi, this attack was more than a level stronger!
Many Tranquil Cloud Sect disciple had cold sweat coming out of their palms in anxiety, uncertain if Ye Yuan could withstand this attack.
"Blood Drinking Soul Severing Blade!"
Liao Wenguang gave a low cry. Saber light towered to the skies, its momentum akin to rolling thunder, instantly slamming onto the grand array.
Only to hear a rumble, as if the entire Spirit Blessing Mountain trembled a little.
Everyone clearly sensed that an essence energy breach appeared on the grand array, but automatically recovered very soon.
Seeing this scene, Liao Wenguang was not alarmed, but became excited instead. Saying with a cold laugh, "I was wondering how powerful this grand array was. Turns out that it's merely on par with Middle-Stage Soul Sea Realm! Another few more times and this grand array would most likely be collapsing, right?"
"Grand Elder Liao is almighty!"
"Grand Elder Liao is almighty!"
. . . . . .
When the Purple Mansion Sect disciples saw this scene, they were all highly excited.
Many among them followed Ma Yi over here the previous time, including that Zhu Mingyu.
On that day, they could be said to have experienced the most painful defeat in the history of the Purple Mansion Sect, and felt like the entire world was falling apart.
A Soul Sea Realm martial artist was slain in front of the formation. This impact force was too intense.
And today, they had a feeling of walking about with their chins held high, and finally felt like they regained a set.
Hence, each and every one of them was like on stimulants, praising Liao Wenguang.
Liao Wenguang also felt very comfortable regarding this stuff. The feeling of being worshiped by everyone was very wonderful.
"Heh heh, I'm going to go one more time to see how many of my attacks this grand array of yours can withstand! You all prepare well for me. After I blast this grand array open, you all charge inside in one breath and leave nothing behind!" Liao Wenguang said with a loud laugh.
Chapter 457. Wretched Pligh |
Rumble!
Another huge tremor.
After a moment, the grand array recovered to normal once more.
Liao Wenguang was very excited. He seemed to have seen the moment the grand array shattered.
While by the side, He Jun was not as optimistic as Liao Wenguang.
He stared at the grand array with heated eyes. It was also uncertain what he was thinking about.
He brandished the Blood Drinking Saber and was just about to attack again when he heard He Jun said, "Forget it, Old Liao. You can't break this grand array."
Liao Wenguang's expression changed and he said unhappily, "What are you talking about? Old He, you aren't afraid that I'd snatch credit from you, right?"
He Jun shot him an indifferent glance and said, "Since you're talking like this, just take it like I didn't say anything. Go ahead and carry on trying."
Liao Wenguang's expression was not very good, and was somewhat caught in a dilemma for a moment.
To talk about martial strength, he obviously flung He Jun several streets behind. But, to talk about understanding towards array formations, He Jun threw him more than ten streets behind.
Looking at the realm passageway on the verge of opening up, these Purple Mansion Sect Soul Sea Realm experts all wished to render contributions in front of the wind emperor.
If Liao Wenguang could crack the formation independently, the merit this time would be his alone. He was obviously not willing to give this credit to He Jun.
But, he knew He Jun's formations path attainments. If he was not exaggerating just to alarm people, then wouldn't he be wasting his energy?
Ruminating briefly for a moment, Liao Wenguang said with a cold snort, "Humph! Try it out then!"
Liao Wenguang felt that his attack just now already caused considerable damage to the grand array. Redouble his effort and he could definitely crack this formation.
He Jun smiled coldly at the corners of his mouth, but did not stop Liao Wenguang too much.
There was not much nonsense. Liao Wenguang sent out another blade. This time, he even increased his strength a little.
Another intense tremor. The grand array seemed to be tottering on the verge of collapse already.
Liao Wenguang shot He Jun a glare like putting on a show of force and increased his strength even more again.
Liao Wenguang was highly excited, chopping out blade after blade.
The Purple Mansion Sect disciples only heard the rumbling sounds lingering incessantly in their ears, as if the entire Spirit Blessing Mountain was crumbling.
Yet, in a twinkle, Liao Wenguang slashed out over a dozen blades. The commotion caused was greater each time, and the grand array also quaked more intensely each time. But it just was not breached.
Liao Wenguang was panting from exhaustion and finally became aware that something was not right.
Unleashing over a dozen blades consecutively. Moreover, each blade was more powerful than the last, as if every blade reached the limits that the grand array could withstand.
