Chapter 1: Crossing into Another World

  The situation on the scene could deceive others, but it couldn't deceive Yue Xingyan, who was the most cultivated among those present.

  Unintentionally, he crushed the cup in his hand, but he didn't seem to notice, still staring intently at the disheveled figure dodging around on the field.

  "This dark night is simply eerie!"

  Yue Xing's words were filled with shock in her heart.

  "This is absolutely the realm of a grandmaster, using this aura to completely restrict others' actions. At such a young age, you can already achieve this, Li Shidi, your disciple is indeed too monstrous!"

  As the swordsmanship continued to unfold, not only did Kunshi Ting, one of the parties involved, feel a sense of eeriness, but even the onlookers outside the scene began to feel something was off.

  The swordsmanship has been displayed for so long, why hasn't this dark night been defeated yet?

  Cang Ye looked at his opponent who had been arrogant just a moment ago.

  A faint cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth...

  The good show is just beginning!

  The aura of the Kun-style pavilion has gradually thinned out. I wanted to stop my sword moves, make a big move, and directly send Cang Ye away. But at this moment, I found that my sword moves couldn't be stopped!

  On the surface, Kunshi Pavilion's sword moves became more and more ingenious. However, he didn't send Cangye off the stage. And Cangye could only desperately dodge back and forth, without any power to counterattack. Anyone with a bit of insight would see that Kunshi Pavilion was playing with Cangye!

  But the parties involved didn't think so. Seeing that the spiritual energy had gradually become scarce, the last bit of spiritual energy was also used up with the sword move, and there was no residual left, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell on the martial arts stage.

  Everyone was stunned by this strange scene.

  I've seen people play tricks on others, but I've never seen anyone get tricked like this! They even got themselves involved...

  Even the host of the Lingzhu level does not know how to judge it.

  In the end, there was no choice but to determine the winner based on the form in the middle of the venue.

  Cang Ye's face was filled with a mix of excitement and disbelief as he sat in the middle of the arena. Suddenly, all the disciples erupted!

  "What's wrong with him! That Kun-style pavilion is either an idiot or has a brain disease. Just tease him a bit."

  "What's the point of this idiot still being alive?! He might as well be dead, he can't even get a single night's sleep!"

  "What kind of crappy luck is this?! How can something like this pass?!"

  …

  In the midst of the noisy crowd, Cang Ye floated back to his seat with a carefree and leisurely air. The look of triumph and complacency on his face made everyone who saw him want to rush up and give him a sword.

  "Little brother, you..." Stunned and speechless, Sun Hao stared at Cang Ye in front of him, he simply couldn't believe his eyes.

  Is this still my little junior who has always been on an equal footing with adults?

  Those who knew Cang Ye's cultivation saw several core disciples with extremely rich expressions on their faces. Having seen the shocking sword in the Qingxia Hall, they couldn't believe this was the same little junior brother. It was as if he had become a completely different person.

  "You can't fool people like this! From now on, never offend little Shidi again!"

  An idea emerged in the minds of several core disciples, if they encountered such a situation, it would be better to admit defeat directly!

  The rest area of Zhenxingyi.

  He nodded at the disciple beside him and Feng Yan spoke up.

  "This is the outcome, see?!" Although he kept saying that he wouldn't care about this person anymore. But after all, they came from the same country, and even had a distant relative relationship with Feng Yan. So he couldn't help but add one more sentence.

  "Senior brother, it's just because Cang Ye has good luck, what is there to be afraid of!"

  "Hmph!" He seemed to have remembered something. Finally, he spoke in a voice that others couldn't hear to this Tian Shi brother:

  "It's this lucky starry night, wanting to kill me, one sword will do!"

  His eyes widened in disbelief as he listened to Feng Yan's words. In his mind, Shixiong's strength was absolutely unparalleled, just one step away from flying and escaping. Now, however, it was said that Cang Ye, who relied on luck to win, could defeat Shixiong with just one sword! If someone else had said this, he definitely wouldn't have believed it, but these words came from Shixiong's own mouth.

  "This...this...how is this possible?!"

  His gaze turned to the distant Cyan Night who seemed to still be celebrating his victory. The wind whispered to itself, saying

  "I didn't want to believe it either, but things are like this. Such a genius is hard to find throughout the ages..."

  Cang Ye's smooth entry into the top ten was beyond everyone's expectations. However, a trial is just a trial and won't be replayed due to any unexpected events. Fortunately, the subsequent intense clashes also made the disciples gradually forget the strange occurrence that had just happened.

  When the top ten matches were all over, the sun had already set in the west. At this time, all the disciples had already prepared to return to the peak and come back tomorrow.

  Just as Cang Ye was about to leave, he received a transmission. The feathered spirit beside him said, "I have something to attend to, I'll be back later," and then disappeared into the crowd.

  It's unlikely that anything unexpected will happen on this Qingxia Mountain, so Sun Hao and Yu Ling didn't worry about it. They just wondered what Cang Ye could be up to, muttered a few words, and then returned directly to the peak gate.

  In fact, Cang Ye didn't expect that the Master would send him a message so quickly. Being summoned by the Master was something he had expected, but to have it happen on the first day was still enough to make him admire the Master's insight and decisiveness.

  Who would have thought that just being off the field, everything can be seen. This is still the result of Master helping himself to cover up, and it's no wonder that he can become a strong Ling Wang who has reached the peak of a sect.

  When Hei Piao came to Qing Xia's side hall at night, Yue Xingyan was already waiting there.

  "Pay respects to Master Shifu!"

  He bowed his head and began to size up the giant figure in front of him, who controlled the life and death of thousands of sects.

  Like Li Tian Luo, he is also a martial artist at the peak of Ling Wang, but obviously, the current sect leader looks younger. Although not comparable to the once-seen returned-young Duan Tian Jian Huang, the current Yue Xing Yan still has nothing to do with the word "old". His eyebrows and eyes are clear and bright, his entire face does not have that kind of aura that makes people afraid at first sight, but in this quiet dusk, he is still dignified.

  "You're here."

  The voice was almost indistinguishable from the one when worshiping the sacred objects of the sect that year, and the sound was still so ethereal.

  Cang Ye didn't say anything and quietly waited for what came next.

  "Unexpectedly, Li Shidi has taken in a good disciple! Your current display of cultivation is something that Li Shidi personally helped you conceal, isn't it!"

  This morning, before participating in the trial, Li Tian Luo was afraid that Cang Ye's cultivation would be exposed, so he directly took action to help him cover it up. However, Li Tian Luo also knew that such means could deceive most people, but may not necessarily deceive Yue Xing Yan, who is also a peak Spiritual King. As for why he would be seen through and need to cover up, Cang Ye didn't know about that.

  "Tell me, what level have you reached in your cultivation now?"

  With piercing eyes looking at Cang Ye, Yue Xing Yan was also a little excited at this moment. Perhaps the prophecy of the sect's great prosperity will be fulfilled on this child!

  After some thought, Cang Ye still decided to speak out. This was not a secret at all. With the power of the sect leader, one could find out with just a slight investigation. Besides, Master had said before that if there were any top-notch experts in Qingxia Sect who saw through his disguise for Cang Ye, then there was no need to hide it. Because those who could see through Li Tian Luo's handwriting must be the peak of the Spiritual Kings! Such a martial artist would not harbor any ulterior motives towards the sect.

  "Returning to Master Shu, I have now successfully gathered the Three Flowers and converged them at the top. All that's left is to comprehend the Five Elements' spiritual energy and enter the Heavenly Spirit realm!"

  When he heard this, Yue Xingyan's eyes suddenly lit up for a moment. Looking at Cang Ye, his heart was also hairy.

  "Good! What a magnificent Three Flowers Gathering at the Top! What a divine peak of the Earth Spirit! I, Qingxia, inherited the bloodline of our ancestors and produced another unparalleled genius in the world! Haha! Haha!"

  Seeing Yue Xingyan laughing there, Cang Ye couldn't say anything and couldn't leave directly, so he could only stand aside and wait.

  "You can now surpass people of what realm. I see that your aura is already similar to that of a Sect Master, and ordinary Tianling Masters are probably not your match!"

  The eyesight of this master is indeed astonishing.

  Recalling Master's entrustment, Cang Ye didn't hesitate and replied directly

  "Ordinary spirits can be defeated in battle."

  Upon hearing Cang Ye's words, Yue Xingyan suddenly stood up from his chair.

  "Soul Master, Soul Master, it's actually a Soul Master! What level of Soul Master? Is it primary or...?" He had never been so flustered before. The image of Yue Xingyan at this moment was completely inconsistent with his identity as the sect leader. This look was like that of parents in their previous life suddenly hearing that their child got full marks, and asking which subject it was.

  It's not that he doesn't believe in Yueshen's words, but rather he simply wants to leave some room for himself. So, after thinking for a moment, he said to the sect leader:

  "Returning to the Palm Gate Master Uncle, Lingzhu's mid-tier can be killed, high-tier can only match."

  "Can you kill a mid-tier Spirit Master? Match a high-level Spirit Master?" The voice had changed by the time he finished speaking, becoming shaky and trembling. After all, if one hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who could believe that a child who wasn't even a Heavenly Spirit Master yet could kill a mid-tier Spirit Master! It was a kill, not a defeat!

  "Yes, when I was training with my master at the foot of the mountain, I personally beheaded four mid-tier spirit masters who were notorious for their evil deeds within our Qingxia realm."

  Looking back on the first time I killed someone, it's still unforgettable to this day. Although I didn't vomit directly or stay up all night in a dramatic fashion. However, for half a month afterwards, I barely ate anything. But thinking about the people I killed, not one of them was a good person. So I gradually became calm and composed.

  There are many injustices in the world, all he can do is rely on one person and one sword to kill off the evildoers!

  "Oh? So it was you and Li Shidi who were the crazy challenging master and disciple for the past two years!" Yue Xingyan suddenly remembered that his disciples had reported to him about a pair of masked master and disciple who had been crazily challenging the top masters of various sects within the borders for the past two years.

  He scratched the back of his head, and Cang Ye also felt a bit embarrassed.

  "Not bad, not bad!" Seeing Cang Ye's appearance, Yue Xingyan knew he had acquiesced.

  According to the intelligence presented by the disciples, there is a lone cultivator spirit king who leads a disciple whose exact age is unknown but can be confirmed as "under thirty". Except for the peak spirit master, all masters below have not lost a single battle!

  At that time, after hearing the news, Yue Xingyan thought for a long time. The Ling Wang of the Qing Xia realm, he basically knew them all, but he had never heard of anyone who could cultivate such a genius disciple!

  Until just now, when Cang Ye mentioned it, I realized that the four Lingzhu middle-rank warriors who were killed were actually disciples of this sect. After all, in the intelligence reports, it was also mentioned that this disciple had killed several Lingzhus who were harming the common people, including four who had already reached the middle rank of Lingzhu. If it weren't for the fact that this master and disciple were killing evil warriors, Yue Xingyan would have even considered using the power of the sect's Punishment Hall to control these uncontrollable variables.

  The sect leader explained the reason why he recognized himself. Cang Ye also had a lingering fear in his heart.

  Zongmen Xing Tang, he had also heard of it. That can be considered a sect's punishment, a special peak that suppresses all variables within the Qingxia realm. And the master and deputy master of Xing Tang were both Ling Wang existences! Unfortunately, Li Tian Luo had never seen these two mysterious figures before. If there was a conflict between the two groups in the future, he, as a local spirit master, would be in danger...

  "Li Di's actions were quite correct, if it weren't for your masked movements, many people might have guessed your identity. At that time, as long as the other four major sects send a few masters and assassins, you will be in danger!"

  "Master Shifu, is it really impossible for the five major sects to coexist peacefully?" Since coming down from the mountain, Cang Ye had heard his master mention this repeatedly. Before he had the ability to protect himself, he couldn't let anyone know his identity. The root cause was to prevent the four major sects from making a sneak attack.

  However, Li Tian Luo never told him the reason why the five major sects were fighting each other.

  "Is it just because of the struggle for territory? That doesn't make sense, does it have to be you die or I live?! Although I've also analyzed it according to the previous world's format, no matter how I calculate it, I still can't figure out why the five parties hate each other so much."

  If it were the case that the four gates, including the Youmen, were fighting each other to the death, then it could be explained as a conflict between different ethnic groups. However, the Buddhadharma, Mozong, and Pingtian Palace are all human too!

  "The hatred of the five major sects was already predetermined from the moment they were established. You're still too young, and knowing some things won't do you any good! So, focus on increasing your strength in a short amount of time, that's the right way!"
