After returning to Canghui Academy, Ye Tianyun had successfully made it onto the first team through his own strength, earning the right to compete in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Tournament.

But Ye Tianyun knew very well that although he had great cultivation talent and Battle Armor, his opponents were even stronger. His Guidance Method still wasn't enough.

So, to prepare for the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Tournament, he planned to create an entirely new cultivation art—one that surpassed the Guidance Method.

This cultivation art had to increase his Soul Power and improve his constitution, strengthening his body so that he could absorb higher-quality Spirit Rings in the future.

Tang San was stunned again as he watched this scene.

"Wait, the Guidance Method isn't enough? He's going to research an entirely new cultivation art, and the requirements are that high?"

He thought about his own Mysterious Heaven Skill. Although it could increase his Soul Power, it did nothing to strengthen his body.

He had been able to absorb a ten-thousand-year fourth Spirit Ring purely because of the Immortal Herbs and the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, which had allowed him to temper his body.

The Soul Saint Brothers laughed and teased him:

"That's because he's so talented. You lot probably can't learn from Ye Tianyun."

Yu Xiaogang couldn't stand for that and immediately retorted:

"Xiao San, don't take it too seriously. Look, the Sky Screen has only been showing things for two days, but a long time has already passed in its timeline. Given enough time, you can create something too."

"That's right. I'll create one."

Tang San regained his confidence.

That was right. He just didn't have enough time yet. Once he did, he would surely come up with a new cultivation art that surpassed the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

"Heh..."

The eldest of the Soul Saint Brothers merely chuckled.

Tang San: "..."

Those three brothers were too arrogant. He really wanted to beat them up, but unfortunately, he couldn't.

Ye Tianyun had run into trouble almost as soon as he started his research. He didn't have enough knowledge to draw on, and Canghui Academy lacked the books he needed. He couldn't continue improving the Guidance Method, let alone create an entirely new way to cultivate.

This problem had troubled Ye Tianyun for a long time.

Tang San was finally satisfied. He chuckled:

"I knew it. How could it be that easy? Now he's stuck, isn't he? I bet it'll take at least two or three years."

He didn't think Ye Tianyun would fail, either.

He would become the Heavenly Emperor in the future, so he was bound to succeed. It was only a matter of how long it took.

Yu Xiaogang's tense heart finally relaxed, too.

"I knew Ye Tianyun wasn't that exceptional. How could a person possibly reach that level? I'd say it'll take him at least three years to succeed."

Beside them, Liu Erlong remained silent.

She didn't understand why Yu Xiaogang and Tang San always had to pick on Ye Tianyun. But then she thought of how the Live Broadcast Room kept targeting Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, and she understood.

But the very next second, the Live Broadcast Room proved them wrong.

Although Ye Tianyun didn't have enough reference materials, he was still a peerless genius. After a meal, he thought of the Evil God Wings and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

He could learn from the Power of Devouring and use food to nourish his body. Before long, he had drawn up a plan to create the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Art.

Silence fell. Tang San and Yu Xiaogang went quiet.

Not only that, their faces had turned red from being slapped again and again.

The Live Broadcast Room showed them no mercy.

Even the eldest of the Soul Saint Brothers was laughing.

"As expected of the future Heavenly Emperor. He came up with a new plan over the course of a single meal."

It wasn't just them. Even Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing found it unbelievable.

"That's ridiculous. He came up with a solution over a single meal?"

"It is a little hard to believe. And before this, he seemed to be just an ordinary person. His knowledge wasn't even as extensive as ours. How could he do it?"

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged glances.

They couldn't figure it out. It made no sense to them.

Spirit Hall.

Even Bibi Dong was astonished. She murmured:

"Could there really be a peerless genius like this in the world? He came up with a plan in an instant, and he can create so many things, too."

The Platinum Bishop below, along with the Spirit Masters who specialized in various kinds of creation, all looked at one another.

They really wanted to crack open Ye Tianyun's skull and see how his brain worked, so they could study it properly.

Could they transplant Ye Tianyun's brain into their own heads and raise their intelligence?

For a while, Ye Tianyun put his Battle Armor research on hold and focused mainly on cultivation.

He cultivated Soul Power during the day and Spiritual Power at night, while also preparing all kinds of medicines to speed up his cultivation.

In only half a year, Ye Tianyun's Soul Power advanced by leaps and bounds, and his Spiritual Power broke through another level.

After his Spiritual Power broke through, Ye Tianyun's comprehension improved greatly, and he sensed the Power of the Evil God within the Evil God Wings once more.

In the Divine Realm.

The God of Evil couldn't help but admire him:

"This boy is incredible. He actually comprehended the Power of the Evil God. That Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was passed down through so many generations, yet not one of them managed to comprehend the Power of the Evil God."

Even the Asura God admired him. After all, Ye Tianyun had managed to comprehend the Power of the Evil God while only at the Soul Elder level. He was an absolute genius.

The Asura God had observed many continents and seen plenty of geniuses, but they fell into two categories: Ye Tianyun, and everyone else.

Soon, Ye Tianyun used his immense Spiritual Power to comprehend the Power of Devouring from the Evil God Wings, and finally created the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Art.

The Heaven-Swallowing Demon Art could absorb the energy of Spirit Beasts and any other living beings, then convert it into Soul Power.

"The Heaven-Swallowing Demon Art?"

As soon as Yu Xiaogang heard the name, he thought it was no proper cultivation art. It was clearly an evil art.

Ye Tianyun would probably become an Evil Soul Master in the future.

Could he tolerate that?

He had to report it. He absolutely had to.

"That's an evil art! Ye Tianyun must be an Evil Soul Master. How can we tolerate an Evil Soul Master? We have to crack down on him."

Of course, Yu Xiaogang was mainly jealous. Why could Ye Tianyun create the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Art while he had nothing to show for himself?

If he had the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Art, he would never call Ye Tianyun an Evil Soul Master. He'd say it wasn't the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Art at all, but the Demon-God-Devouring Art.

It would be a technique for devouring Evil Soul Masters.

Everyone thought the cultivation art sounded chilling. Just hearing its name was frightening.

Some even started wondering if Ye Tianyun might really be an Evil Soul Master.

The Live Broadcast Room immediately explained.

Although the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Art was a demonic art, Ye Tianyun had never devoured ordinary people in his entire life. He only devoured his mortal enemies, evildoers, and vicious Spirit Beasts.

If the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Art had fallen into Tang San's hands—no, it didn't even need to fall into his hands. As long as Tang San knew about it, he would do everything in his power to get it, then go on a killing spree.

If it fell into Yu Xiaogang's hands, he would also do everything in his power to cultivate the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Art and increase his strength. What he cared about most was how low his cultivation was.

Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were both angry.

What was wrong with the Live Broadcast Room?

It was talking about him again, and it had even let slip what he was thinking.

Did it really think they had no shame?
