Immortal Emperor Ambition, Azure Cloud Dao Child Established
After Ye Jie entered the Mirror Sky Trial Hall, he was greeted by a room full of mirrors, each reflecting his image.
Why are there so many mirrors here?
"Does the challenge you're looking for come out of the mirror?"
Ye Jie looked around and asked in confusion.
As soon as he finished speaking, his reflection in one of the mirrors stepped out of the mirror.
"Challenger, welcome to the Mirror Sky Trial Hall."
"Defeat me to clear the level. The faster you are, the higher your ranking. The trial leaderboard is ranked according to the time it takes for challengers to clear the level."
"Challenger, are you ready?"
Just as Ye Jie was about to nod upon hearing this, he saw an identical version of himself rushing towards him at lightning speed, wielding the Seven Tribulation Immortal Sword.
Ye Jie:??? You can play it like this?
Without time to think, he hurriedly summoned his Seven Tribulations Sword and charged forward.
Bang! Crack! Boom! Clang!
In just a short while, the two Ye Jie fought countless rounds, yet the outcome remained uncertain.
"Give up, you can't beat me."
"I know everything you know, and I don't know anything you don't know..."
"You are me, and I am you. You can't beat yourself."
Mirror Image continues to employ its internally unified deceptive tactics.
Although it's useless for most people, it still needs to be said, because there are always one or two people whose minds are unstable.
Take, for example, that black guy who keeps coming to challenge but keeps failing.
Black Emperor: You better not be talking about me!
"You are me?"
"You are nothing but tiny mirror images, yet you dare to compare yourselves to me?"
Ye Jie spoke coldly.
"No one knows my ambition to endure seven tribulations, yet I will become an invincible immortal for all eternity!"
"I have great ambitions, what do you have?"
"Seven Tribulations World Extinction, Annihilation!"
Ye Jie unleashed his full power at the eighth level of the Great Luo realm, and with a single sword strike, the mirror image in front of him shattered instantly.
In the instant of their exchange, he discovered the mirror image's weakness.
To defeat it, you need to stay calm and use the power of your belief to defeat it.
Because a mirror image has no emotions and can only imitate, the power of belief is a way to break the balance when all forces are in equilibrium.
Ye Jie then put away his timer and walked outside, calculating the time.
After he left the Trial Hall, the rankings on the list were updated.
Second place on the Trial Ranking: Ye Jie, 2 minutes and 31 seconds.
He was only one second slower than the sect leader who was in first place.
What is this called? This is called human relationships and social skills. The Immortal Realm cultivation is not just about fighting and killing.
"He succeeded! Senior Brother Ye has successfully completed the challenge!"
"A little over two and a half minutes, only one second slower than the sect leader, awesome!"
"The sect leader is indeed the most powerful! The probability of creating such a feat with a mere flick of his wrist remains unbroken to this day!"
Meanwhile, atop Azure Cloud Immortal Peak, in a brightly lit palace.
"Indeed, he completed the assessment in just one day. He is qualified to be the Daoist disciple of my Azure Cloud Sect."
Feng Qingyang withdrew his divine sense and nodded in satisfaction.
The reincarnation of a peak Immortal Emperor, his prestige isn't too bad, is it?
Sigh, I wonder when even the Servant Disciple of a sect will become Immortal Emperors. If that happens, my Azure Cloud Sect will be absolutely awesome.
However, given the current pace of development, that day won't be too far off.
"One month later, the sect's Daoist disciple will be established."
Feng Qingyang used his divine sense to send a unified message to the elders of each sect, instructing them to prepare.
January passed quickly. Nothing major happened in the Purple Feather Dao Domain and the Heavenly Cloud Dao Domain during this month, but every leader of the major forces felt a vague unease.
A month ago, the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect was secretly targeted by the Five Great Immortal Emperor Factions when it opened its gates. Why didn't the Immortal Sect retaliate?
The calmer things are now, the fiercer the retaliation will be later. I'm afraid a large-scale war between immortals is about to break out! It wouldn't be good if it affected our own side.
Heavenly Azure Immortal Sea, Azure Cloud Immortal Sect.
Today, the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect is filled with joyful laughter.
Many elders and disciples who had been in seclusion also emerged from their seclusion one after another.
The leaders of the three affiliated forces of the Azure Cloud Sect — the Qing Clan Immortal Clan, the Heavenly Weight Immortal Clan, and the Meng Clan Immortal Clan —all brought their high-ranking elders to offer their congratulations.
At the Sect Square, all the Azure Cloud Sect disciples and elders from various sects had been waiting there for a long time.
In the center of the square stands a tall array platform, upon which sit high-ranking elders of the sect, all above the fifth star level.
"Our Azure Cloud Sect finally has a Dao Child."
"Yes, I absolutely acknowledge Senior Brother Ye's talent and strength. He is undoubtedly the rightful heir to the Senior Brother Ye Child position."
"They're here! They're here! The sect leader and the others are here!"
On the towering platform, Feng Qingyang, dressed in the robes of a sect leader, descended, accompanied by a young man.
The young man was Ye Jie. His sect robes were dazzling, with a deep blue base and purple-gold trim, giving him an overall noble and elegant appearance, exuding Dao Rhythm.
As the old saying goes, clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse.
When Ye Jie put on this sect Dao Child Uniform, his entire demeanor improved significantly.
"I am Feng Qingyang, the Azure Cloud Master."
"Now there is a disciple of our sect, Ye Jie, who has the talent to Ten Bell Rings. His future achievements are limitless. He must complete the test set by our sect within the time limit."
"I hereby declare that Ye Jie is hereby appointed as the Dao Child of my Azure Cloud Sect, to command the disciples of all sects and to spread the might of the Azure Cloud Sect throughout the All Heavens and Myriad Realms."
Feng Qingyang's majestic voice resounded through the heavens, and every word he uttered seemed to contain the ultimate truth. As soon as he finished speaking, countless great paths appeared in the sky.
"We will obey the Lord's orders."
"We have met Ye Daozi."
Countless disciples and elders on the square responded and spoke in unison.
On the platform, Ye Jie first bowed to Feng Qingyang and everyone below the platform, then stood tall and straightened his back. With a thought, he activated his cultivation at the first level of Immortal King.
He spent a month cultivating amidst the Time-Space Collapse, which, at a time flow rate of 1 to 5,000, was equivalent to cultivating for over 410 years.
Therefore, his cultivation level soared from the eighth level of the Great Luo Realm to the first level of the Immortal King Realm.
"Thank you for your recognition, Sect Master, elders and fellow disciples."
"As a disciple of the sect, I, Ye Jie, will never tarnish the reputation of the sect and the disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect."
"The sect leader told me that what we want to conquer is the stars and the sea. The Heavenly Universe Great World is just the beginning. From now on, we will move forward together."
"As long as Azure Cloud Sect remains, we will remain together."
"If Azure Cloud Sect falls, let us all work together to help him up!"
Ye Jie's impassioned words, imbued with the power of his cultivation, once again resounded throughout the vast Azure Cloud Sect.
Clap clap clap! Clap clap clap!
Thunderous applause erupted from below the platform.
Behind him, Feng Qingyang, standing with his hands behind his back, nodded in satisfaction.
The deception has been completed... Pshaw, it is...
"Dao Zi is at the Immortal King level! This...!"
The three leaders of the affiliated forces— Qing Taixu of the Qing Clan Immortal Clan, Tang He of the Heavenly Weight Immortal Clan, and Meng Yuan of the Meng Clan Immortal Clan —were all shocked when they sensed Ye Jie's aura.
I have cultivated for countless years and only reached the peak of the Immortal King realm. Dao Zi is already catching up with me at such a young age!
It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy!
I've really gone astray.
"Brother, I told you this kid was awesome."
"What nonsense are you talking about? You should call him Ye Daozi."
Just as Qing Taixu and the other two finished their reflections, Black Emperor and Little White walked over from the side.
Upon hearing this, Black Emperor grinned and showed his teeth. "Sorry, I just spoke too quickly."
As the Black Emperor passed by Qing Taixu and the others, he glanced at them and thought to himself, "I think I just heard them say something about cultivating to the point of being a dog?"
