Chapter 265: Sect Master Blade Slaughter
Soul Ink wasn’t worried about Li Yang not having a teacher.
Not to mention freaks like Mixed Void and Lan Yu... for top-tier geniuses like Long Zhan and Dilunxi, Li Yang, with the combined power of his Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon and Thunder Star Beast clones, had matched their strength in just five years. Even Dilunxi, the youngest of them, had actually cultivated for longer than he had.
And now, Li Yang had added the even more powerful Fire Nether Divine Beast clone. One could only imagine the speed of his progress from now on!
As long as he displayed enough Talent, someone would naturally be willing to teach him, regardless of whether he was comprehending one Law or multiple.
"I know." Li Yang nodded. ’That’s my plan as well.’
’I’ll keep cultivating. My next goal is to pass the second step of the Path of Deities!’ Li Yang took a deep breath, putting the matter out of his mind.
While Li Yang was rejecting all the offers, on the other side, Flame Wave Sect Master and the others who wanted to take him as a disciple all received his message of refusal.
They were already good friends and had discussed Li Yang before, so now they gathered together once again.
"Lie Yuan, did Li Yang also tell you he’s going to continue comprehending the Fire Element Law? Did he reject your advice?"
"Yes. Didn’t he reject you too?"
"Haha, this Li Yang is too arrogant. He insists on comprehending the Fire Element Law. When one of us gave him advice, he wouldn’t listen and stuck to his own ideas. Now all five of us have advised him, and he’s still sticking to his guns."
"Hmph! This Li Yang probably thinks all our advice is wrong."
"Let him be. Comprehending multiple Laws will inevitably divide his focus. When the other geniuses keep progressing and break through to the Star Lord Realm or even the World Realm sooner, he’ll realize his stubbornness was a complete mistake."
The powerful Deities spoke, a rare discussion sparked by the matter of Li Yang.
At this point, none of them had any intention of taking Li Yang as a disciple anymore.
If Li Yang had the Talent to match Lan Yu or Mixed Void, they might have persisted a little longer.
Lan Yu was a peerless genius the likes of which the Human Race sees only once every few billion years.
As for Mixed Void, he was even more of a monster. In the Law Realm, his Talent was enough to rank him among the top 100 geniuses in the history of the Human Race. With Talent like that, as long as he didn’t fall, he was very likely to become an Emperor in the future, and there was even a chance he could become a terrifying Dominator-level existence!
Those two geniuses were the kind who could make Flame Wave Sect Master and the others change their minds.
If Li Yang had Talent comparable to theirs, then even if he insisted on his path, they would still choose to take him as a disciple.
But a Talent on Li Yang’s level was something the Human Race could produce one or two of every ten thousand years. Since he wouldn’t listen to their advice, they naturally lost the idea of accepting him.
"Since Li Yang has refused, just let him be. How he grows is none of our concern..." Flame Wave Sect Master, Sect Master Lie Yuan, and the others said casually.
After a brief discussion, the five powerful Deities naturally decided not to pay any more attention to Li Yang.
Just then, a sudden burst of laughter was heard.
"Haha, what’s everyone talking about? It’s so lively!"
A figure appeared. It was a brawny man with black esoteric patterns on his face. He materialized and looked at Flame Wave Sect Master and the others with a smile.
"Blade Slaughter, you’re back?"
"You were gone for over ten thousand years. How did it go? Did you break through to the Emperor realm?"
Seeing the brawny man, Flame Wave Sect Master and the others immediately asked with a smile, seeming quite familiar with him.
"No, how could breaking through to the Emperor realm be so easy?" The brawny man, Blade Slaughter, shook his head.
He chuckled and said, "I saw you all gathered together talking about something just now. Tell me about it."
"It’s nothing major. Just about a genius the Sacred Hall recently recruited."
"Right, didn’t the Sacred Hall recruit three thousand geniuses recently?"
Hearing Blade Slaughter’s question, the others chimed in.
Blade Slaughter nodded and said, "I know about that. From the three thousand geniuses, a heaven-defying one was selected, named Mixed Void, right? And he was taken as a disciple by the Black Inference Dominator?"
Everyone had obviously heard the name Mixed Void.
A top-100 genius in the history of the Human Race! Two such geniuses had even grown to become Dominators! Who wouldn’t pay attention?
By now, almost all the Emperors and even Dominators of the Human Race knew of this powerful genius, Mixed Void! They were all very optimistic about his growth.
In the future, he might very well become a super-powerhouse of the Human Race!
As for the Alien Races, they had placed Mixed Void on their kill-on-sight list. If they had the chance, they would probably even expose their hidden Deity-level powerhouses just to assassinate him!
The name Mixed Void was more famous than even these powerful Deities.
"Correct. Mixed Void was taken as a disciple by the Black Inference Dominator. We aren’t qualified to teach a genius like that," Flame Wave Sect Master nodded and sighed.
A disciple of the Black Inference Dominator... their status was probably no less than that of a powerful Deity like himself.
Every single Dominator in the Human Race was a true pillar of existence, their power deterring the countless races of the Cosmos!
"We were talking about Li Yang, who ranked tenth among the three thousand geniuses. He doesn’t have a teacher, and Lie Yuan and I, among others, wanted to take him as a disciple before..."
Flame Wave Sect Master briefly explained the situation.
"Oh? This Li Yang is comprehending Space Law and Thunder Law simultaneously, and now he’s started on Fire Element Law?"
Hearing what Flame Wave Sect Master and the others said, a look of surprise appeared in Blade Slaughter’s eyes. He commented, "This Li Yang is comprehending quite a few Laws."
Flame Wave Sect Master shook his head and said, "Blade Slaughter, tell me what you think. Li Yang and the others are just in the initial stages of Law comprehension. Even a peerless genius like Mixed Void is only comprehending a single Law, the Space Law."
"Spending energy on multiple Laws is clearly a foolish approach. The five of us, myself and Lie Yuan included, all advised Li Yang to give up on comprehending the Fire Element Law, yet he refused us all. Does a little Longevity Realm brat have better judgment than we do?"
Hearing this, Blade Slaughter chuckled. "Flame Wave, there’s nothing wrong with Li Yang sticking to his own cultivation path. Didn’t I also comprehend multiple Laws at once back in the day? And didn’t I grow to my current level?"
He was quite open-minded and didn’t think Li Yang was doing anything wrong.
Every genius ought to have a growth path that suits them.
"You’re a special case."
Flame Wave Sect Master shook his head. "But how many people are there like you? According to the records, geniuses who comprehend multiple Laws early on have a very low probability of becoming powerhouses. Given the same level of Talent, they are completely outmatched by those who focus on a single Law."
Some who comprehended multiple Laws did manage to rise, but the probability was exceptionally low.
"Haha, maybe Li Yang is just like me."
Blade Slaughter laughed. "Let me see what this Li Yang is like, to be worthy of the five of you gathering just to discuss him."
As he spoke, Blade Slaughter tapped on the screen before him, and a video of one of Li Yang’s battles appeared.
