Eternal Sect.
Ye Xingchen sat cross-legged in his room, recalling how he’d obtained the Supreme Mystery Scripture in his previous life.
One word summary: difficult!
However, being reborn to cultivate again, no matter how great the price paid back then, it was all worth it.
Ye Xingchen was able to catch up from behind and now lead ahead of Li Qingyang and others—all because he cultivated the Supreme Mystery Scripture more than them.
This kind of martial art transcending Divine-grade was truly terrifying.
If given another chance to return to the past, Emperor Ye would still choose to fight for it and seize it, even if he’d still end up being harmed in the end.
Weapons and equipment could certainly provide martial artists with super strong combat power, but a cultivation manual, especially the highest level, provided permanent and irreplaceable benefits!
However, if Ye Xingchen knew that the Sect Master was heading to Soul Clan Continent and effortlessly obtained a Beyond Divine-grade cultivation method in the endless void—and a soul-cultivation one at that—he’d definitely cough up three liters of blood.
Ah.
They’re both human.
Why is the gap so huge?
“Junior Brother Ye.”
The next day, Ye Xingchen woke early, just preparing for daily cultivation when Xiao Zueji caught up from behind, “I just got news from Hall Master Li—an exotic beast appeared in a valley in Southeast Si Province. Interested in going to subdue it?”
“Not interested.”
Night Buffalo said indifferently.
Right now he only wanted to quickly grow stronger, return to his peak and possess the ability to Shatter the Void, then go to the Upper Realm to take revenge on that woman!
“Alright.”
Xiao Zueji said, “I’ll go find Second Senior Brother. He might be interested in that cyan jade eagle.”
Ye Xingchen, about to enter the Training Tower, stopped and said, “Cyan jade eagle?”
“Yeah.”
Xiao Zueji said, “An eagle that looks like it’s carved from blue jade.”
“Let’s go.”
Ye Xingchen abandoned his training plans.
Xiao Zueji was rather stunned—didn’t he say he wasn’t interested? Why did he change his mind?
Because Emperor Ye had a contract beast in his previous life called the Azure Sky Jade Eagle. From its form, it also resembled jade carving, and the subduing location was also in Southeast Si Province!
“Old friend.”
Flying out of Eternal Sect, Ye Xingchen thought on the road, “Could it be you?”
In his previous life, he’d had no friends—only the Azure Sky Jade Eagle accompanied him. The bond between master and servant was extremely deep.
…
Southeast Si Province had been quite lively recently because in the far eastern depths of a secluded mountain, a flying bird resembling carved jade suddenly appeared. Every day at a fixed time, it would call out loudly, its voice shaking for over a thousand miles.
Initially, many martial artists didn’t know what was happening. Eventually, someone rushed over and witnessed the cyan jade eagle. News immediately spread throughout the martial world.
If it were an ordinary spirit beast, people might not care. The problem was, this was a spirit beast that could fly!
Under equal circumstances, flying spirit beasts were more valuable than ground-running ones. After all, after subduing them, they were excellent for traveling.
So as news spread across Xingyun Continent, many families and sect forces collectively headed to Southeast Si Province, quite reminiscent of “a treasure has appeared, we must seize it.”
If Dog Sheng, dedicated to saving the world, knew they were making such a fuss over a flying bird, he’d definitely curse loudly, “Can’t prop up a mud wall!”
…
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
In Southeast Si Province, Ye Xingchen and Xiao Zueji moved at extreme speed.
Because Cell Hall members constantly provided intelligence, the two quickly reached the valley in the far east.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
Violent air currents roared out, filled with martial artists’ various spiritual energies.
“Junior Brother Ye.”
Xiao Zueji looked toward the dark valley depths and said, “Various martial artists should have already entered.”
Ye Xingchen’s eyes flashed with cold intent as he said, “Move in!”
“Whoosh—”
With that, he flew toward the valley interior.
Xiao Zueji didn’t understand—why did Junior Brother Ye seem a bit anxious?
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
The two continuously approached the depths, faintly hearing bombardment sounds. Then they discovered dozens of experts fighting each other inside, various energies exploding, disrupting the surrounding trees, flowers, and grass to complete destruction.
“Junior Brother Ye, are you alright?”
Xiao Zueji kept observing Ye Xingchen, discovering that the deeper they went into the valley, the uglier his expression became, and the coldness and killing intent emanating from his eyes grew stronger.
“Screech—”
Just then, a clear cry pierced the dark environment and echoed across the sky.
The always-aloof Ye Xingchen actually showed joy on his face after hearing the sound.
“Strange, so strange!” Xiao Zueji was very surprised.
In his interactions with Ye Xingchen, except for when drunk, he usually maintained absolute coldness and arrogance.
“Flap flap!”
“Flap flap!”
From within the dark valley came the sound of flapping wings.
A flying bird entirely cyan in color, looking like carved jade from afar, rushed out. Its massive size could support a two-hundred-square-meter courtyard on its back without problem!
“Azure Sky Jade Eagle!”
“My god! The deceased Emperor Ye’s mount!”
“It seems very weak. Quick, quick, quick! Seize this opportunity to subdue it!”
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
Various experts who’d been fighting each other in the valley locked their gazes on the cyan eagle flying toward the sky, going full throttle to rush over.
“Emperor Ye’s mount?”
Xiao Zueji exclaimed in surprise, “This is pretty amazing!”
The ten supreme Wudi of Xingyun Continent, though not seen for a long time, still commanded terrifyingly awesome prestige in the secular world.
“Junior Brother Ye.”
Seeing over a hundred experts rushing out from the valley, Xiao Zueji said gravely, “There are too many experts. We’d better not get involved…”
Where is he? Where’d he go?
The area where Emperor Ye had been was now marked with a dotted line.
Xiao Zueji looked around, then discovered that fellow charging toward the cyan jade eagle. He collapsed, “This is a bit reckless!”
Also strange.
That flying bird was also flying toward Junior Brother Ye.
Based on both their flight speeds and trajectories, they’d soon meet face-to-face.
“Hm?”
The various martial artists desperately chasing saw a stream of light flying from the other direction, closest to the flying spirit beast, and shouted in unison, “Stop him!”
“Whoosh whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
Various energies exploded in mid-air, forming dazzlingly colorful light beams that bombarded toward Ye Xingchen.
Though they aimed to stop someone from reaching the cyan jade eagle before them, so many forces converging simultaneously created truly terrifying power!
“Screech—”
The flying bird racing at extreme speed suddenly raised its head and cried out, then rotated its massive body downward, placing itself in the path of those various energies.
“No!”
Ye Xingchen roared.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Gorgeous, multicolored light bloomed in mid-air, enveloping the massive cyan jade eagle within.
“Ah—”
Ye Xingchen’s eyes split with rage as the Imperial Pressure existing within his body surged uncontrollably along his meridians and skin!
“Whoosh!”
Just then, a stream of light flew out from the explosion’s glow.
“Thud!”
Ye Xingchen reached out to catch it.
It was a small cyan jade eagle.
Having suffered severe injuries, it couldn’t maintain its massive form and miniaturized. Its eyes half-open, it seemed to struggle to see clearly who had caught it.
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
Hundreds of experts rushed over.
They absolutely wouldn’t allow anyone to obtain Emperor Ye’s mount—they had to snatch it back!
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
Just then, space-trembling bullets flew past the hovering Ye Xingchen, bombarding toward the various martial artists.
Everyone’s expressions changed as they hurriedly dodged.
After stabilizing themselves and preparing to continue charging, they discovered a man holding a special weapon had appeared behind the man holding the cyan jade eagle. That purple robe had “Eternal” embroidered on the chest, and hanging from his waist was a badge engraved with “Iron Bones Clanging.”
Gulp!
Instantly, everyone’s greed was forcibly suppressed by some power. They said in shock, “Eternal Sect disciple!”
“Junior Brother Ye.”
Xiao Zueji stood behind Ye Xingchen with his AWM sniper rifle and said, “Are you alright?”
“Crack crack!”
“Crack crack!”
The sound of cracking bones came.
Ye Xingchen, holding the injured cyan jade eagle, raised his head. His eyes flashed with overwhelming killing intent as he said, “Those who injured it—all must die today!”
“Whoosh whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh!”
Violent spiritual energy accompanied by chilling killing intent instantly permeated half the sky. Feeling it, the various martial artists’ hair stood on end and their scalps exploded!
