Chapter 181: Met
"Oh, it’s nothing. I just thought of some things. Alright, let’s go back. Don’t worry about this matter. Lord God Emperor Ye will probably summon you Imperial Court Masters tomorrow, so pay attention." Liu Wuxie said.
"Understood, Master." After Changtian finished speaking, the two disappeared from where they stood.
At this moment, Wang Yufan smacked his lips.
Looking at the sleeping Li Qiye and Little Black, Wang Yufan’s figure silently vanished from the meditation cushion.
In a relatively secluded place within the Tiandao Imperial Court.
Ye Lingtian, dressed in a yellow robe, nodded with satisfaction as he watched the black-clothed youth practicing martial arts not far away.
"Xiu’er, well done. Your Realm is getting higher and higher. I believe it won’t be long before you reach the God King Realm, surpass me, and become a legend of this Dao Realm." Ye Lingtian said.
Hearing Ye Lingtian’s voice, the youth turned his head, saying with surprise:
"Ye is here. Your son greets Ye." The black-clothed youth flashed to Ye Lingtian’s side and knelt down.
Ye Lingtian smiled broadly at this sight.
"Good, good, good. Let the child rise. How do you feel now?" Ye Lingtian said.
"Ye, your son feels excellent now. Thanks to the cultivation techniques you taught me, your son’s strength continues to break through. All of this is thanks to Ye." The black-clothed youth said.
"Hahaha, Xiu’er, it’s nothing. I’m old now. Although my current strength has reached the top in this Dao Realm, it’s not the peak. I’m entrusting this important task to you now. You must break through the barriers and shackles of the Dao Realm in the future to become a Divine Venerable or even higher." Ye Lingtian said.
"Ye, don’t worry, your son will redouble his efforts." The black-clothed youth said.
Ye Lingtian looked at the black-clothed youth, his expression suddenly becoming serious.
"Xiu’er, something has happened recently that I need you to know.
Just recently, it seems that someone with Emperor level talent has appeared within our Dao Realm. We don’t know if it’s a male or female. This person might even appear in the Grand Competition of our Five Great Imperial Courts.
And this time, I want to make your matter public. With your current strength, you’ve already grown, and ordinary people wouldn’t dare to touch you, let alone with me here. But for this Grand Competition, I want you to take first place. Do you understand the difficulty involved?"
Hearing Ye Lingtian’s solemn words, the black-clothed youth also nodded, then confidently said:
"Ye, your son is not yet twenty years old and is already at the mid-stage Heavenly Immortal cultivation. Even the older generation might not be a match for your son. As for the person with Emperor level talent you just mentioned, I estimate they shouldn’t be very old.
They don’t have resources like Ye. Even with talent, what can they do? Talent, effort, and luck are all inseparable. I have talent and I have Ye, so this time, in the Grand Competition of the Five Great Imperial Courts, your son is confident he can take first place." The black-clothed youth raised his proud head.
Seeing this, Ye Lingtian smiled, patting the black-clothed youth. He recalled many past events.
When he was at the high-stage God King Realm, he passed through a mountain gully and encountered a child being carried by a Blazing Tiger. He originally didn’t want to get involved, as isn’t this world all about the strong preying on the weak? Some lament unfair fate, while others are favored by the heavens.
Just as Ye Lingtian was about to leave, a golden light flashed on the forehead of the child being carried by the Blazing Tiger, which piqued Ye Lingtian’s curiosity. After his divine sense swept over the child’s body, he discovered something unusual.
He felt that this child might be one of those exceptionally gifted individuals, possessing a great secret. Although he didn’t know what it was, he thought it might bring him unexpected benefits in the future. He decisively took action to save him and adopted him as his godson, naming him Ye Xiu.
Ye Xiu’s subsequent cultivation speed further confirmed that Ye Lingtian had made the right decision at the time.
Looking at the now twenty-year-old Ye Xiu, Ye Lingtian was very satisfied.
What they didn’t know was that Wang Yufan was currently hidden in the void not far from them, observing this scene.
"This black-clothed youth has good talent. He actually possesses the Vajra Body from the Myriad Body Rankings. Tsk tsk tsk, this physique is not bad. The only pity is that his foundation has been ruined by this cultivation technique. All of these techniques are Yin, and his physique is Yang; they counteract each other. Otherwise, if this youth had a good cultivation technique and martial arts to go with this physique, he would probably have reached True Immortal by now and would definitely be able to become a Divine Emperor Realm in the future.
But this old guy has ruined him. A genius has been destroyed just like that. It makes me really want to go over and smash this old guy’s head in."
As Wang Yufan spoke, a mysterious aura emanated from his body.
Ye Lingtian, who was still talking to Ye Xiu, suddenly shivered all over.
He felt as if he was being targeted by a primeval beast, and the feeling was that he would be pulverized if he moved even slightly.
Ye Lingtian’s body suddenly burst forth with the power of a Divine Emperor, crushing everything around him. Ye Xiu, who was standing in front of him, was also directly flung away by this terrifying force, smashing into the wall.
He didn’t know what was wrong with his Ye; he suddenly became like this.
Then, Ye Lingtian looked around and said:
"Who is it? Come out! Don’t be so sneaky."
Hearing Ye Lingtian’s words, Wang Yufan was startled. He thought to himself:
"Damn it, I was careless and released a bit of aura just now. I didn’t expect this old guy to be so vigilant. I’m not playing with you guys anymore, I’m out of here." Thinking this, Wang Yufan’s figure vanished without a trace in the void.
After Wang Yufan left, Ye Lingtian continued to shout at his surroundings. After about half an incense stick’s time, he realized that no one seemed to be there and finally stopped.
Ye Xiu, who had been thrown back, saw his Ye return to normal, then walked forward and said:
"Ye, are you alright? What happened just now?"
Only then did Ye Lingtian notice Ye Xiu, who was pale, and he quickly said:
"Xiu’er, are you alright? Just now, I felt a particularly strong power peering at us, which gave me a sense of danger, so I released the power in my body." Hearing Ye Lingtian say this, Ye Xiu was still a little skeptical.
This was Ye Lingtian’s extremely secret place; ordinary people couldn’t find it at all. If there was a very strong power, it would have been detected long ago. Ye Xiu felt that Ye Lingtian was old and might be paranoid, but he still said:
"Ye, I’m fine. Has that power disappeared?"
Ye Lingtian nodded and said.
"It should have disappeared. I probed for a long time just now and there was no movement."
