Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 67 - 065 Encounter with Liu Yiyi Again
67: Chapter 065: Encounter with Liu Yiyi Again
67 -065: Encounter with Liu Yiyi Again
Every outer disciple who comes to the Treasure Pavilion is envious of the Chongyang Secret Realm, isn’t it?
But that is a place only inner disciples can set foot in.
Although the Sect has opened its doors to outer disciples, the cost is enormous.
Spending ten thousand points to exchange for two days of hard cultivation in the Chongyang Secret Realm is simply too extravagant.
Apart from those strong outer disciples, it takes other outer disciples years of hard work to accumulate ten thousand points.
Compared to qualifying to enter the Chongyang Secret Realm, it’s more practical to exchange for elixirs or combat techniques.
Thus, everyone among the outer disciples knows the existence of the Chongyang Secret Realm, but those who truly enter it are few and far between.
Now, hearing someone wants to exchange for the qualification to enter the Chongyang Secret Realm immediately shocked everyone.
Just how wasteful must one be to do such a thing?
When they saw Xiao Ye’s face, they were momentarily stunned.
“It’s him!
The useless one with only one acupoint!”
“No wonder, this kid got a reward from the Son of County, so it’s no surprise he can come up with ten thousand points.”
“Hehe, this kid spends all his points to exchange for the qualification to enter the Chongyang Secret Realm.
Looks like he plans to go all out.”
“Indeed, his cultivation speed in the Chongyang Secret Realm is very fast.
But with only two short days, how much can his cultivation improve?”
Whispers filled the Treasure Pavilion.
“Are you sure you want to exchange for it?” the Treasure Pavilion Elder asked in a deep voice.
It was rare to see an outer disciple able to take out ten thousand points to exchange for the qualification to enter the Chongyang Secret Realm, and even he was shocked.
“I am sure,” Xiao Ye said determinedly.
“Alright then.” The elder reached out to take the points token Xiao Ye handed over, then stood up, “The Chongyang Secret Realm is very special within the sect.
Only I can take you there for you to go inside.”
“Then I’ll trouble the elder,” Xiao Ye was very excited internally.
With the Time Tower, such a heaven-defying cheat artifact, the ten thousand points were well spent.
The analyses those outer disciples conjured up made Xiao Ye secretly amused.
Subsequently, the Treasure Pavilion Elder announced a temporary halt to treasure exchanges, as he needed to take Xiao Ye to the Chongyang Secret Realm.
Although the outer disciples in the Treasure Pavilion were dissatisfied, they didn’t dare to voice objections and could only leave the Treasure Pavilion with resentment.
“Let’s go!”
After handling matters, the Treasure Pavilion Elder took Xiao Ye away from the mountain peak.
It must be said that the mountain range occupied by the Chongyang Sect was indeed vast.
The valley where Xiao Ye lived was minuscule compared to the entire mountain range.
About an hour later, the Treasure Pavilion Elder brought Xiao Ye to a mist-enveloped gorge.
Merely stepping into this area, Xiao Ye felt a vast and astonishing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi filling the air.
“We haven’t even entered the Chongyang Secret Realm, yet the density of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi is already this great!” Xiao Ye was shocked, and then immensely joyful.
It seemed he indeed came to the right place.
“What is the matter?”
Suddenly, a cold and ancient voice came, and at this moment, Xiao Ye realized that at the entrance of the gorge, an elder like withered wood was sitting cross-legged on a boulder.
When Xiao Ye’s gaze fell on the elder’s robe, his pupils instantly shrank.
“Golden Robed Elder!”
In the Chongyang Sect, there are three types of elders.
The lowest are the Silver Robed Elders dealing with outer disciples, low in status and cultivation.
Those who cannot pass through the Puppet Tower before the age of twenty-five but possess good cultivation usually take this role, like Gu Chudong.
Above them are the Golden Robed Elders who oversee inner disciples, almost all above the Sixth Level of the Innate Realm, and exceedingly powerful.
The highest in status are the four Black Robed Elders.
They usually engage in closed-door cultivation and rarely appear; each has reached the Innate Limit, and their disciples are direct disciples of the Chongyang Sect.
Above the Black Robed Elders are the Vice Sect Leader and Sect Leader of the Chongyang Sect, all experts in the Xuanwu Realm.
“Elder Lingyang, this child is an outer disciple, using ten thousand points to exchange for the qualification to cultivate in the Chongyang Secret Realm,” the Treasure Pavilion Elder said respectfully.
“Oh?” An unusual gleam flashed in the eyes of the elder sitting on the boulder, who scrutinized Xiao Ye before retracting his gaze.
“If so, then you can go in.
Remember, you must come out at this hour two days later, or you’ll need to pay double points.” The elder spoke.
“Thank you, Lord Elder.” Xiao Ye saluted, then stepped toward the gorge.
“Wait!” Suddenly, the elder called Xiao Ye.
“Today, a direct disciple came to the Chongyang Secret Realm.
The opposite party is precious in status, so do not offend him, or even I won’t be able to save you.”
On hearing this, Xiao Ye took a deep breath.
A direct disciple came to the Chongyang Secret Realm?
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Xiao Ye nodded and said, “Thanks for the elder’s reminder.”
Without further delay, he went into the gorge.
The dense fog rolled in the gorge with visibility only about ten meters.
A thick Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi wrapped around Xiao Ye’s body.
Moreover, through the fog, Xiao Ye could see several blurry figures, presumably inner disciples.
“The density of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi ahead should be even greater.” Xiao Ye observed for a while and then walked forward.
“Move one step further, and you die!” At this moment, a voice brimming with murderous intent emerged, and simultaneously, an extremely powerful aura locked onto him.
“A martial artist at the mid-stage of the Fourth Realm of the Innate Realm!”
Xiao Ye’s body stiffened, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
Tap!
Out of the fog came a young man, who, glancing at Xiao Ye, sneered, “Only at the Second Level of the Innate Realm?
Seems like a waste from the Outer Sect.”
“This ten-meter radius is my territory.
If you dare enter it, I don’t mind killing you.” The young man returned, sat cross-legged, and began cultivating.
“Even here has territories?” Xiao Ye’s gaze darkened, then he looked toward the depths of the gorge, sensing strong True Qi fluctuations.
“It seems the closer the inner disciples cultivate to the heart of the gorge, the stronger their cultivation is.” Xiao Ye thought.
This is expected.
In a place like the Chongyang Sect, the strong undoubtedly monopolize more resources.
“Someday, I will cultivate at the gorge’s center.” With the help of the Time Tower, Xiao Ye felt confident that surpassing these inner disciples was only a matter of time.
“I wonder if Zhao Qian and Liu Yiyi are here.” At this thought, Xiao Ye no longer hesitated and sat down at the very edge of the gorge.
Based on his guesses, these two were most likely inner disciples.
Once seated, Xiao Ye entered the second layer of the Time Tower, operated the Four Tripod Heavenly Technique, and utilized every moment for cultivation.
Rumble!
A massive amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi surged towards Xiao Ye, entering his body through the acupoints.
As Xiao Ye operated the Four Tripod Heavenly Technique, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi split into two parts, one tempering his physical body, the other refining into Innate True Qi, circulating into his Dantian.
Even at the gorge’s edge, the density of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi far exceeded the outside, causing Xiao Ye’s strength to grow at an astonishing speed.
Rumble!
Above Xiao Ye’s head, a vague cauldron emerged, gradually condensing over time.
Once this cauldron fully condenses, Xiao Ye’s one cauldron power will be complete, and then his mere physical body strength could rival martial artists at the late-stage of the Third Realm of the Innate Realm.
At the same time, the Innate True Qi in Xiao Ye’s Dantian increased steadily.
The two days in the outer world translate to forty days in the second layer of the Time Tower.
Fortunately, after absorbing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, an Innate Martial Artist could sustain without food for a long time; otherwise, food alone would’ve been enough to trouble Xiao Ye.
When two days had passed in the outer world, Xiao Ye opened his eyes like two bolts of lightning in the dark, incredibly striking.
“The effect of the Chongyang Secret Realm is truly incredible!” Xiao Ye was full of excitement.
His cultivation had now soared to the late stage of the Second Level of the Innate Realm, and if relied on normal cultivation, even with the Time Tower’s aid, it would have taken at least three months.
This meant cultivating for two days in the Chongyang Secret Realm equaled three months of arduous cultivation for him!
“Four Tripod Heavenly Technique!” Xiao Ye shouted softly, and above him, a large cauldron emerged, mostly condensed.
With his current strength, passing through the second layer of the Puppet Tower was easy, but getting past the third layer was still impossible.
“If I could enter the Chongyang Secret Realm again, I have confidence that I’d pass the Puppet Tower before the outer disciples’ martial competition, becoming an inner disciple!” Xiao Ye’s eyes became resolute.
At that moment, he made up his mind to return and exchange points by completing tasks.
Just as Xiao Ye was about to leave, footsteps echoed from the depths of the fog.
“Senior Sister Liu, you are honored as a direct disciple, yet you still come to a place like the Chongyang Secret Realm with not the slightest air, truly admirable.”
“Senior Sister Liu’s cultivation is not only superior, but her appearance is also exceptional.
She and Senior Brother Zhao Qian are indeed a match made in heaven.”
“Naturally, among our Chongyang Sect’s direct disciples, Senior Sister Liu and Senior Brother Zhao Qian are the youngest, truly well-matched.”
Voices of flattery rang out from afar.
Listening to those words, Xiao Ye, at the edge of the gorge, trembled with his breathing becoming rapid.
Zhao Qian, Senior Sister Liu, could it be…
Xiao Ye looked up and saw three young men surrounding a young girl like stars around the moon, pleasing her with smiles.
The girl appeared to be seventeen, clad in a purple gauze dress, with bright eyes and snowy teeth, stunning and elegant, her skin fair and immaculate, with a hint of arrogance on her face.
Seeing this familiar yet unfamiliar stunning face, Xiao Ye’s mind roared.
A name he could never forget emerged in his heart, twisting his expression into a snarl.
Liu Yiyi!
So, the direct disciple mentioned by the Golden Robed Elder at the gorge’s entrance was Liu Yiyi!
The very Liu Yiyi who once trampled on his dignity with elixirs, cold and ruthless, had become Chongyang Sect’s lofty direct disciple!
