Chapter 112: The Supreme Spirit Master!

  Li Tianluo's hands trembled as he slowly helped up Cang Ye, who was still kneeling in mid-air. No one complained about his slowness, nor did anyone blame Cang Ye for being out of line at this moment; everyone simply watched quietly.

  "Come back soon, come back soon!"

  What a familiar phrase it was! When I heard it again, the emotion in Cang Ye's heart was really hard to express, and he could only hold Li Tian Luo's hands tightly...

  "Ye Er was able to rush back this time, just in time to participate in the Grand Competition. Li Shidi, it seems that your Xuanwu is indeed going to overwhelm the young generation of today!"

  It's not a good idea to stay in this stalemate forever, said Yue Xingyan, opening his mouth and shifting the attention of others.

  Upon hearing his reminder, everyone reacted and followed the dozen or so monarchs to fly towards the seating platform in the void.

  Feeling the dark night flying in the sky, the pupils of the dozen or so kings in front of him shrank slightly, and incredibly, he was walking on empty air!

  Soul Master, Cang Ye has become the Soul Master!

  Under the age of twenty, a powerful spiritual master was born!

  However, at this time, no one exposed the situation, but only hid that thread of shock in their heart.

  Tianling Peak is equivalent to a mid-tier Venerable's combat power, and now it has become a strong Spirit Master! This time's Grand Competition, was it really just suppressing the younger generation...

  On the battlefield, a dozen or so supreme beings sat in their respective positions, while Cang Ye walked all the way to the back. Looking at the familiar faces in front of him, Xuan Mu's tears fell without regret, You Yue's Zi Yan, Zhen Xing's Feng Yan, and many senior brothers who had accompanied him into the secret realm, and finally, there was that beautiful figure with eyes always on him.

  Although tears had unknowingly flowed down, Cang Ye still forcibly put on a smile. Four years of solitary survival, although it was in hibernation, but who could understand that kind of pain? After cutting off the past, present and future, he fell into a ruined country, nearly dead, who could understand that kind of hardship?

  Everyone just looked at the young man in front of them with a smile, and suddenly realized that Cang Ye had become the third generation disciple among their 130 disciples, also known as the synonym for the strongest of the younger generation. Even they themselves did not expect that Cang Ye's status in their minds would be so revered. Now, at the juncture where the old and new are about to collide, he, that young man who was filled with countless miracles, has returned!

  Xu Cen walked forward, gently patting Cang Ye's shoulder, but couldn't say a word. If it weren't for the sect's elder saying that Cang Ye wasn't dead, Xu Cen would have been driven to despair himself. Originally, he was the one leading the team, originally he should be protecting his many junior brothers, yet in the end, he could only rely on this young junior brother to bear all the responsibility...

  One by one, the senior brothers patted Cang Ye's shoulder, but none of them said much. The kind of brotherly love that had been through life and death was all revealed in this pat.

  Finally, when everyone had finished contacting Cang Ye, only one person was left standing there.

  Looking at this tearful girl, Cang Ye stood up and immediately held her in his arms.

  "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

  Muttering repeatedly, yet unable to say anything else.

  No matter when, there was always such a tacit understanding between them, and thousands of words could be understood with just one glance.

  After a long time, the emotions finally calmed down. Cang Ye quietly listened to the people around him talking about what had happened in the four years since he left. Although there were no earth-shattering events, there were still many situations that arose. Among them, what made Qing Xia Zong most excited was that Tian Mang's Jian Wei Zhen and You Yue's Zi Yan had both successfully entered the Spiritual Master realm when they were nearly over thirty. And among the other outstanding disciples, Yu Ling had broken through to the Heavenly Spirit at less than twenty years old, becoming the second person in history!

  She lifted her smiling face, full of proud expressions, looking at Cang Ye, as if waiting for his praise. It was only in front of Cang Ye that this little princess, who was famous throughout Qing Xia, would reveal a naive expression.

  "Junior Brother Cang, your return is truly timely. After the top ten of this younger generation are decided, we will welcome the true strongmen's battle of our sect!"

  Listening to Feng Yan's words on one side, Cang Ye only slightly felt relieved. Earlier when he returned, relying on his powerful senses, he discovered that among these disciples, not even one was a Zong Shi (sect master). He had heard of the name Leng Yue Feng Shuang before entering the inheritance secret realm! Moreover, Sun Hao from Xuan Mu's lineage and Li Dao Tai from Tian Mang Peak, whom he knew in the sect's secret realm, were all super strong Zong Shi level masters! But for some reason, they didn't participate.

  However, after hearing Feng Yan's words, he also let it go. The disciples of the previous generation a hundred years ago, if they directly participated in these almost impossible trials to rival the Lingzong disciples, would indeed be somewhat devalued.

  It seems that only those who can get into the top ten in this trial have the qualification to participate in the competition for the strongest disciple of Qingxia Sect's 134th generation.

  He nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. By the time of his return, it was already destined that among the 130 generations of disciples, only the four strongest disciples of the Qingxia Sect, who were said to be able to suppress the younger generation of the other four major sects, would truly be able to rival him! Others, without the strength of a high-ranking sect master, didn't even have the qualifications to fight him once.

  Very soon, the following fourteen arenas had almost decided on the twenty-eight people who needed to participate in the Void Arena's contention. Adding the thirty-four people around Cang Ye, it was exactly sixty-four people. After deciding on the top eight, among the remaining ninth to sixteenth disciples, the sect selected the last two based on their performance.

  "Void Battle Platform, activate!"

  Without saying anything useless, Yue Xingyan directly announced the start of the competition for the strongest young generation!

  Looking around at his fellow disciples one by one walking onto the Void Arena, Cang Ye felt a bit awkward at this moment. Because when he signed up for this competition, he was still trapped in the void, so he missed it. But now that he's back, there just happens to be an extra spot available. He really didn't know what to do.

  The rules of the sect cannot be casually abolished.

  It's not just him, even Yue Xingyan and others are having a hard time. To put it bluntly, Cang Ye is the representative of the younger generation opposing the leader of the older generation. If he doesn't go up, I'm afraid the younger generation won't be able to hold on for much longer. But if he does go up, what about everyone else? Although no one has said anything, and they won't say anything, it's still not in line with the rules!

  Just when everyone was at a loss, Yu Ling thought of a solution, which wasn't actually that hard to think of.

  "Brother Ye, you take my place! After all, I'm only at the initial stage of Tianling's cultivation. Even if I participate, I'll probably lose early on, so it's better for you to take my place and not waste the quota..."

  It's not really a solution, the only thing needed is someone willing to give up their spot, but who would be willing to give up such an opportunity to show off? Only someone who wholeheartedly likes Cang Ye would be completely indifferent to this chance.

  Cang Ye nodded, without saying anything like "thank you". Between the two of them, there was no need to say more. In fact, as Yu Ling had said, among the sixty or so people standing on this Void Arena, almost none were below the Tianling High Rank. If not for Yu Ling's exceptional talent, the sect wouldn't have listed her as a seed, and she wouldn't even have needed to participate in the assessment below. It was well-known that geniuses always had certain privileges, no matter where or when!

  Seeing things resolved so perfectly, everyone let out a sigh of relief. If Yu Ling didn't withdraw, someone among them would definitely have to back down. Even when he was still a Tianling High Rank, Li Dao Tai could rival the Tianmang Peak, and now with his power even more unfathomable, Cang Ye is undoubtedly the most indispensable role in the collision between old and new generations. Therefore, to ensure Cang Ye's appearance, one spot must be given up, but which of those standing here isn't a genius who has dominated an era? Making them give up such a chance at fame is really too difficult to bear.

  "Alright, all disciples go on stage!"

  Since Cang Ye had already qualified to participate, Yue Xing Yan didn't bother with anything else. Although Yu Ling's talent could be said to be second only to Cang Ye's, her cultivation was still very low after all. Moreover, the reason she didn't receive the same treatment as Cang Ye back then was because she didn't have Cang Ye's strength from back then! She just cultivated quickly, but didn't have the ability to challenge and surpass levels, so for Qing Xia Sect, it wasn't a big deal at all.

  In an instant, everyone flew towards the stage. The wind beside him directly materialized a long knife, and his instrument flew straight up.

  Looking back at the dark night, he didn't summon any weapons at this time, but instead flew directly through the air!

  The many disciples who saw this scene were shocked.

  Even with these four years added on, Junior Brother Cang is absolutely no more than twenty now! Less than twenty and already a Spirit Master? This is simply too unbelievable!

  Just now when Cang Ye returned, everyone was excited, but not many people really paid attention to Cang Ye's specific actions. So, now that he has reached the rank of Spiritual Master, they are all shocked!

  "Brother Cang, you have entered the Spirit Master realm!"

  His eyes wide with shock, he stared at his junior brother in disbelief. The several people familiar to him standing around Cang Ye on the arena were all shocked.

  It's been so long! Cultivating for less than ten years, I can go from an ordinary person to a top-notch spiritual master of the divine rank! What about those who spend twenty years, thirty years, and still have no hope of becoming a spiritual master in their lifetime? How can they bear it?!

  "Lucky breakthrough, just lucky."

  Upon hearing his words, everyone was on the verge of collapse, could this be a lucky escape?

  "I don't know what rank you are as a Spirit Master, Junior Brother Cang?" One of the senior brothers behind him finally asked. If this question were directed at an ordinary person, he would definitely be ridiculed by everyone. Being able to become a Spirit Master before the age of twenty is already a miracle, so what's the point of asking about rank? However, the person in front of him was Cang Ye, an existence for whom anything was possible!

  "Just one step away from matching my title."

  "Seal? The Night Sword Sect's seal? You're always... " Before he could finish, his mouth was already wide open.

  It wasn't just him; all of Qingxia's disciples who heard this sentence were stunned.

  Half-Step Spirit Sovereign? Pinnacle Spirit Master? Is this possible?

  Cang Ye knew that this was hard to believe, but it was the truth. As for hiding his cultivation, Cang Ye always thought it was unnecessary. The level of cultivation did not represent one's true strength. At the very least, once all the cards were laid out, within the limits of physical endurance, an ordinary king was nothing! If he didn't care about life or death, then there wasn't anyone in this world that he couldn't drag down with him!

  Until now, Cang Ye finally had the real power to protect himself under this starry sky!

  "Alright, the battlefield is open, everyone get ready!"
