Chapter 96: Poaching Openly, Monarch’s Tomb Opened

“Damn it…” In a cave, Tianji Zi woke up again. He let out an incompetent rage when he recalled the scene just now. “Ye Qiu… you and I are irreconcilable.”

His vicious eyes were filled with killing intent. Tianji Zi felt the sharp pain from his dying body and regretted his actions.

He couldn’t believe it. Why was Ye Qiu so strong? Even a half-step Paragon like him could not defeat him. If he continued to develop, he might become another Daoist Xuantian in the future.

“Hmph, Ye Qiu, just you wait. I’ll remember today’s grudge. I’ll come back to settle the score with you after I break through to the Paragon realm.” After cursing with a ruthless gaze, Tianji Zi began to regulate his injuries. He took a few pills in a row before he could catch his breath.

“Senior Brother, are you alright?” Li Daoyuan asked worriedly. Tianji Zi looked at him coldly. He knew very well why he had fallen to such a state. It was all because of Li Daoyuan’s instigation. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Tianji Zi immediately slapped him.

Li Daoyuan was sent flying without exception, crashing heavily into the stone wall.

Li Changkong and the others were shocked when they saw this, but they didn’t dare to say anything.

Tianji Zi coldly looked at Li Changkong and the others without saying anything. He had completely embarrassed the Immortal Mountain today. Once this matter spread, it would definitely be a huge blow to Immortal Mountain. Especially Ye Qiu’s words: This was the Immortal Mountain’s supreme inheritance?

This was undoubtedly a devastating blow that would greatly affect their future development.

It was already a fact that the Immortal Mountain was inferior to the Heaven Mending Sect. He could not change it at this moment. Unless he could successfully break through to the Paragon realm and regain his dignity.

“All of you can leave. Let me rest for a while and recover.” Tianji Zi really wanted to slap Li Daoyuan to death. However, considering that he had contributed a lot to the Immortal Mountain over the years, he ultimately endured it. “I don’t want to fuss too much about today’s matter. Regardless of whether it’s right or wrong, we’ll talk about everything when we return to the mountain.

“The situation in the Land of Silence has already begun. Soon, there will be a bloody battle. We need people. I hope you can redeem yourself. If you perform well, I can let bygones be bygones.”

Li Daoyuan was overjoyed when he heard this. It was as if he had seen a glimmer of hope and hurriedly expressed his gratitude. “Eldest Senior Brother, don’t worry. I will definitely perform well and save our Immortal Mountain’s dignity.”

“Alright, you may leave.” Tianji Zi was expressionless. He had already entered a meditative state. He had to recover in the shortest time possible to wait for the battle to come.

What Ye Qiu didn’t know was that after today’s battle and last night’s battle, he had completely become famous. He had become a powerhouse too.

At this moment, this craze spread throughout the entire Eastern Wasteland. A resounding name appeared: White-Robed Sword Immortal, Ye Qiu.

Unfortunately, he was completely unaware of this. Instead, he silently returned to the Xiao Clan’s team.

“Hehe, Senior, aren’t you too fierce? I heard from my father that that old man is a powerhouse, an existence half a step into the Paragon realm. You actually slashed him with a single strike?” Xiao Yi flattered him with a face full of admiration.

Ye Qiu smiled and didn’t say anything. Xiao Zhan continued, “Perfected One’s cultivation is becoming more and more unfathomable. It won’t be long before you reach the legendary Paragon realm, right? I can’t believe it. Perfected One really gave us a surprise.”

At this moment, Xiao Zhan was extremely excited. He had really bet on the right treasure. A half-step Paragon-Being Tianji Zi was slashed by Ye Qiu with a single strike. What kind of terrifying existence was this? Who would dare to provoke the Xiao Clan in the future with him protecting them? If they wanted to bully them, he had to ask if they had the qualifications.

Facing their flattery, Ye Qiu was calm and said, “It’s just a small matter. It’s not worth mentioning.”

“This is still a small matter?” Xiao Yi rolled his eyes. If this was a small matter, what else was there in the world?

“Rascal, what do you know? To an expert like Perfected One, such a thing is not worth mentioning. There was only one belief in the hearts of any expert, and that was to become an immortal. Apart from that, anything else is just a small problem on the path to immortality.” Xiao Zhan reprimanded his son and admired Ye Qiu even more.

His temperament had long reached the highest realm. Even in the face of such praise, he could still remain calm. Just this mentality alone was something many people could not compare to.

He was very glad that he had made a wise decision back then. He had placed the future of his family on Ye Qiu and Violet Cloud Peak. Even an expert like Tianji Zi was no match for Ye Qiu. Who would dare to provoke them in the future?

Most importantly, his own son was currently following Ye Qiu. He had great potential in the future.

Ye Qiu laughed in his heart and shook his head. It was a little heavy to carry such an undeserved reputation.

Jiang Jiezhi slowly walked over from afar and praised, “Haha, I didn’t expect Fellow Daoist’s strength to be so astonishing. Even Tian Jizi can’t gain any advantage in your hands.” Shaking his head, Jiang Jiezhi sighed and continued, “Fellow Daoist, your sword strike today can be said to be earth-shattering. It made me break out in a cold sweat. If the person facing this sword was me just now, perhaps I would have already died.”

Jiang Jiezhi sighed from the bottom of his heart. He sighed at Ye Qiu’s stunning performance and astonishing strength. He also sighed that every generation had geniuses, and the new generation surpassed the old. Perhaps, old fellows like them should have left this stage long ago.

Ye Qiu smiled and said, “Perfected One, you’re too modest! My cultivation is still shallow. How can I dare to compare with you? The only thing I can show was this sword technique. I can only blame Tianji Zi for being insensible. He just had to spar using sword techniques. I took advantage of him.”

At this point, Ye Qiu was amused. This feeling was like someone was boasting to be good at what they were best at. Wasn’t he just sending his face over for him to hit? Ye Qiu extinguished his arrogance with the belief that he couldn’t waste it.

Jiang Jiezhi smiled and didn’t say anything. Others might believe Ye Qiu’s words, but he didn’t think so.

Did Ye Qiu only know how to use a sword? No, he had clearly seen the battle just now. The runes flowing between Ye Qiu’s two fingers were clearly a very powerful secret technique. Although he had seen through it, he did not expose it.

Fuyao carefully stood behind Jiang Jiezhi and secretly sized up Ye Qiu from the corner of her eye, her eyes filled with admiration. The battle just now made her truly realize how terrifying Ye Qiu was.

It was hard to believe that this young peak master, who looked to be around her age, was actually so terrifying. Everyone worshiped the strong, and she was no exception. Moreover, this strong person was very young and handsome, unlike those old men.

Moreover, his personality was gentle, refined, and casual. He attracted her all the time. She secretly sized up Ye Qiu from the corner of her eye. When she met his eyes, she felt her heart race. She was careful like a thief, not daring to let anyone notice her abnormality.

Ye Qiu continued, “Everyone says that my sword technique is divine. Actually, that’s not the case, I’ve only barely comprehended a thing or two about this sword technique.”

“What? You’ve only comprehended a little?”

For a moment, everyone found it hard to believe that these words came from Ye Qiu’s mouth. Listen, was this even human language? He had only comprehended a little, but he was already chasing after the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow and almost killed it with a single strike? Wouldn’t it pierce through the sky if you completely learned it?

“F*ck, he’s too boastful! I’ve been following Senior for so long, but I never realized that he’s the one and only pretentious expert.” Xiao Yi called him an expert. He admired him the most for saying this seriously. “Hehe, I want to learn this move. It looks like he’s belittling himself, but he’s actually boasting. He caught everyone off guard and boasted beautifully.”

Xiao Yi seemed to have discovered a new continent. He was secretly delighted and had already memorized the essence of this move.

Ye Qiu’s words caught everyone off guard.

“Comprehend a thing or two? If it’s that strong, then wouldn’t this sword technique be a divine technique?”

“How is this possible? Divine techniques are the strongest secret techniques in the world. Even if I give you a secret manual, you won’t be able to cultivate it.”

“It has an extremely high requirement for comprehension. Even an innate Saint Body would find it difficult to comprehend the profundities within.”

“Could it be that his physique is even more terrifying than the Innate Saint Body?”

Everyone was shocked, and Jiang Jiezhi’s expression was even more solemn. He couldn’t tell Ye Qiu’s physique, but if Ye Qiu could really master a divine technique, then his physique was definitely a true supreme immortal body.

Ye Qiu was amused when he saw their shocked expressions. Actually, he was just being sly. He said this on a whim. He did not expect it to be such a huge blow to them.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally said, “Senior, you’re too humble! I’ve seen many experts in my life, but I’ve never seen an expert like you. Just now, Senior’s sword was erected above the clouds. It seemed to have the aura of a sword immortal, like an exiled immortal who had fallen to the mortal world. You’re carefree and casual, but you’re also domineering. You seem to have the power to control the world while walking leisurely.

“One sword and one thought, and there are ten thousand changes. It’s dazzling! How can such a sword technique only be comprehended a little? Senior has probably already mastered it, right?”

Ye Qiu looked at her in surprise. This girl was quite smart. He smiled and said, “Haha, girl, you’re quite smart. In some aspects, you seemed to be better than my two disciples. I have high hopes for you. Your future achievements are limitless.”

A hint of delight flashed across Fuyao’s eyes as she thought to herself,?“Did I obtain his approval?”

“Thank you for your praise, Senior.” Fuyao smiled gently. A gentle breeze brushed past her beautiful hair, and there was a slight blush on her exquisite and beautiful face. She was charming.

A trace of desire flashed across Ye Qiu’s eyes. He suddenly sighed and said, “Unfortunately, you’re not my disciple. Otherwise, I would definitely teach you the strongest technique. What a pity, what a pity…”

This sigh made Jiang Jiezhi feel a sense of danger.?What does that mean? You want to snatch my disciple in front of me? I treat you as a friend, but you actually have designs on my disciple? Good lord, you actually had ulterior motives.

Jiang Jiezhi turned around and glanced at Fuyao. When she saw Ye Qiu say these words, a trace of joy flashed across her eyes. She seemed to be expecting something.

This was a bad sign.

“Ahem ahem…” Jiang Jiezhi coughed. He had to stand up and say something. Otherwise his obedient disciple would probably be snatched away.

He had spent so many years of effort, wealth, and resources to nurture a Saintess to become the future successor of Jake-Lake and inherit the position of Jake-Lake Fairy. If it was snatched away just like that, wouldn’t all his years of hard work be wasted? This wouldn’t do. He could ignore everything, but nothing could happen to Fuyao.

“You must be joking! Fellow Daoist, you have such cultivation at such a young age. I think your disciples must be a rare genius. My disciple’s aptitude is low. How can she enter Fellow Daoist’s eyes? Fellow Daoist is making fun of me. This is too much…”

Ye Qiu was delighted. This old man was anxious.

Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Yi’s brain twitched and he interrupted, “Hey, Fairy Fuyao! Let me tell you, my senior is famous for treating his disciples well in the entire Heaven Mending Sect. Treasures, spirit pills, and spirit medicines, even heaven-grade cultivation techniques. They were passed down without any hesitation. Even a precious bone of a descendant of the Five Realms was given to his disciple without hesitation.”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

“F*ck, he gave away a precious bone of the Five Realms just like that?”

“Are they still considered as disciples? There’s no one that could be that generous even to their biological children, right?”

Everyone present was shocked. Xiao Yi’s wave of assists amused Ye Qiu.?Not bad, kid. You are meticulous during the critical moment. You are too meticulous.

When Fuyao heard this, she was shocked! Was there really such a good master in this world?

“Ahem ahem…” Jiang Jiezhi coughed again. He suddenly felt a little scared and panicked. He glared at Xiao Yi and gritted his teeth.

He panicked. He glanced at the battle above and quickly changed the topic. “Fellow Daoist, how long do you think this battle will last?”

Ye Qiu glanced at him and waved his hand. “It’s still early. Let them fight. Let’s continue the topic from before.”

Jiang Jiezhi’s face darkened, and three black lines seemed to appear on his face.?Damn it, this guy is trying to make things difficult for me. I’m so angry. If not for the fact that I can’t beat him, I really want to slap him until he faints.

“Disciple, you must be tired after traveling outside for the past few days. Go back and rest. I’ll send you a few pills later. Take this time to adjust.”

Jiang Jiezhi changed his strategy and sent Fuyao away.

Fuyao really wanted to say that she wasn’t tired and that she was very energetic. However, she still didn’t dare to go against Jiang Jiezhi’s wishes. She could only nod and say obediently, “Alright, I’ll go then?”

“Okay, go on…” Jiang Jiezhi finally squeezed out a smile and looked at Ye Qiu with a smug expression.?Do you think I have no other ways to since I can’t deal with you guys?

This farce finally came to an end when she left.

Xiao Yi felt that it was a pity. “Sigh… This old man is too evil! He actually used such a method to send Fairy Fuyao away. Otherwise, I will definitely let them know what a great hoodwinker is today.”

Xiao Yi’s infuriating expression made Jiang Jiezhi really want to slap him to death. This damn brat actually joined forces with Ye Qiu to poach his precious disciple. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough. Otherwise, even if today’s matter failed, this seed would slowly sprout in Fuyao’s heart.

He didn’t want that to happen.

After calming down and thinking about it, Jiang Jiezhi sighed and looked at Ye Qiu in shock.?“Is this guy really that good to his disciple? He gave all his resources to his disciples. Doesn’t he need to cultivate himself?”

Jiang Jiezhi could not figure it out. After so many years, he had seen a lot. However, he had never seen someone like Ye Qiu who never hide anything from his disciples.

In the Great Desolate World, the most precious things were cultivation resources other than secret techniques. However, the resources that everyone possessed were limited. They were the wealth of their lives and were usually valued greatly.

There were many disciples under him, so it was definitely not enough to distribute them. Therefore, everyone lived a tight life.

Moreover, it was impossible for him to give it all to his disciple. Those were cultivation resources that he had spent half his life to obtain. He could not bear to use it himself, so how could he give it to others?

Unless there was something wrong with his brain.

Therefore, he couldn’t figure out why Ye Qiu would do that.

Just as he was thinking, suddenly…

Boom…

With a shocking bang, the ground shook and a crack appeared.

“What’s going on?”

Everyone hurriedly looked at the sky and saw that the Zhuyan held a huge stick and suddenly smashed it onto the giant turtle’s back.

The Heaven Swallowing Sparrow swooped down, wanting to take the copper coffin. At this moment, the giant turtle let out a furious roar. It raised its feet and suddenly smashed them onto the ground.

In an instant, space trembled and a ray of light shot out from the darkness. A destructive force emanated from the depths of the light.

A golden light soared into the sky. The door of the Monarch’s tomb in the Southern Ridge slowly opened.

“Heavens, the Monarch’s tomb has actually opened…”

“Everyone, hurry up and snatch the Monarch’s weapon…”

In an instant, the entire Land of Silence erupted into chaos. Countless human cultivators swarmed over and rushed towards the opened Monarch’s tomb.

“Roar…” The Suanni let out a furious roar and a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down. The cultivator at the front was instantly struck into a bloody mist.

“The Monarch’s tomb has opened?”

Ye Qiu’s expression changed. He wasn’t in a hurry to enter the Monarch’s tomb. Instead, he looked at the four great ferocious beings on the mountain.

The moment the tomb opened, the giant turtle suddenly let out a cry. Its figure turned into a golden light, sank into the Monarch’s tomb and disappeared. The three ferocious beasts present immediately panicked and hurriedly rushed down, wanting to find the giant turtle.

The sudden change caught everyone off guard.

Ye Qiu immediately reacted. With a few teleportations, he rushed in. The moment he entered the tomb, he saw a familiar figure.

That’s right, it was Tianji Zi.

Ye Qiu ignored him and chased after the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow.

For a time, the entire Land of Silence was in chaos because the opening of the Monarch’s tomb meant that a great competition had officially begun.

The first wave of impact was too powerful because it was the tomb of a Martial Monarch realm expert. The power that had been sealed for tens of thousands of years had completely erupted.

Cultivators with low cultivation levels were unable to withstand the pressure at all. They could only watch from the outside and wait for this power to reduce.
