This sudden turn of events was completely unexpected by the man in black.
However, the man in black reacted extremely quickly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
Because of the excessive speed, the man in black had no time to attack and could only raise his sword to Block.
"When!"
A clanging sound rang out, accompanied by sparks from the clash of longswords and shortswords.
The boy's strength Big Superman the black-clad man's expectations, and the longsword in his hand was also parried by the immense force.
He knew in his heart that something was wrong, but it was too late.
The boy's entire body crashed into the man in black, and at the same time, the short sword in the boy's left hand plunged directly into the man's neck.
Amidst the spray of blood, both the boy and the man in black tumbled from their horses to the ground.
The man in black struggled a few times, then fell silent.
The boy rolled to the side, turned around with extreme indifference, and stared at the other men in black.
His Guangzhi were filled with indifference and murderous intent.
The other men in black also came to their senses at this moment, and they looked at their companion's corpse on the ground in disbelief.
"As expected of Young Master Ye, you have the strength of the Body Refining Late Stage at Xiaoxiao age. I really underestimated you."
The boy remained silent, his short swords crossed in a defensive stance, as he slowly circled around to a tree.
A pair of dark eyes carefully scrutinized the other men in black.
"Dismount, form the Eight Gates Formation, and surround and kill!" the leader of the men in black said coldly.
" Eight Gates Formation!" the boy sneered.
"As soldiers, you should be protecting your country, but instead you are aiding and abetting evil. You deserve to die!" This was the first time the boy had spoken.
The voice was young, but it was firm and resonant!
" The Eight Gates Formation was created by my father to deal with the Northern Barbarians, yet you use it to kill me. You are not worthy to use such a battle formation."
The group of men in black remained silent.
After a long pause, one of them Human Dao, "We also want to live, Young Master Ye, let's get going!"
The boy knew that he was unlikely to survive today.
But he showed no fear whatsoever, remaining calm and highly focused, determined not to give up until the very end.
Just then, a blood-red figure suddenly appeared in the sky.
A terrifying Aura pressed down simultaneously.
Everyone looked up, and their expressions immediately changed drastically.
"A cultivator?" the leader exclaimed in surprise.
The person who appeared was, of course, Ling Yi.
At this moment, Ling Yi was clad in blood-red armor, with crimson wings flapping behind him, and a blood-red aura emanating from his body.
Although it looks impressive, Ling Yi doesn't seem like a proper cultivator at all right now.
Instead, it's more like the Legend evil cultivator.
Ling Yi, at this moment, looked at the boy, or more precisely, at the string of words above the boy's head.
[ Ye Chen: Potential 9 stars (out of 10), First Pin Gold Spiritual Root, Supreme Pin Dark Spirit Root (Hidden), Body Refinement Ninth Layer!]
With nine stars of potential, he's either Protagonist or a villain!
First Pin Gold Spiritual Root already extraordinary, but Supreme Pin Dark Spirit root is truly defying the heavens.
Ling Yi also possessed a dark Spiritual Root, though it was only at the Ninth Pin.
On Blue Star, this is called talent, but in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, it's called Spiritual Root.
On Blue Star, dark-attribute talents tend to favor Invisibility and assassination, but in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, Dark Spirit roots have the added attribute of devouring.
If a suitable cultivation method is found that can bring out the unique characteristics of the Dark Spirit Root, then one's cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds.
"With such talent, he is indeed worthy to be my disciple." Since he was going to take on a disciple, he naturally had to cultivate the image of a senior master.
"Young man, would you be willing to become my disciple?"
Without any hesitation, the young man knelt on the ground. "Disciple Ye Chen greets the Final Master!"
Regardless of who this cultivator was, whether good or evil, the young man knew very well that this was his only chance to survive.
This decisiveness earned Ling Yi's even greater admiration.
As for whether they were sincere or not, Ling Yi didn't care; he only took on disciples as a reward.
They wouldn't worry about their apprentices betraying them; if they dared to betray them, they'd simply eliminate them.
A 10,000-fold feedback? You must be joking. No matter how strong an apprentice is, he can never surpass his the Final Master.
"Ding! Congratulations, Heaven-Devouring Art, on successfully accepting a disciple! You have been rewarded with the following Saint Tier -Saint Tier cultivation techniques: Devouring Golden Body Formula, Saint Tier Technique, Dark Shadow Clone, and Nine Revolutions of the Golden Body Saint Tier Body. These have been placed in your System Space!"
"Ding! Congratulations on successfully accepting a disciple! Your Gold Spiritual Root and First Pin Dark Spirit Root have both increased by First Pin!"
Saint Tier cultivation techniques, Saint Tier spells—I wonder what exactly this Saint Tier rank is.
Ling Yi slowly landed beside Ye Chen and said gently, "Get up. From now on, you are my disciple, Ling Yi's disciple, and the first disciple of my Heaven-Exploding Sect."
As he spoke, Ling Yi's blood-red armor slowly dissipated, and the blood-red wings on his back also disappeared.
At this moment, Ling Yi wearing a bright red T-shirt, dark blue casual pants, black casual shoes, a buzz cut, and sunglasses.
To Ye Chen and the man in black, this outfit looked completely out of place.
So, this really is a heretical cultivator? Aren't all legitimate cultivators supposed to Wind Dao?
However, everyone remembered Ling Yi's name and the name of the Heaven-Exploding Sect that he mentioned.
"Senior, you're not from my Central-Northern Empire, are you?" At this moment, the leader of the men in black asked.
Ling Yi raised his hand and pointed, a beam of blood-red light shot towards the man's forehead.
This is the Blood Condensation Finger, a skill related to Qi and Blood.
The leader of the men in black only felt a flash of red light before his consciousness was plunged into darkness.
The other men in black were immediately shocked. This guy really was an evil cultivator. They turned and ran.
But no matter how fast they were, they couldn't outrun Ling Yi's Blood Condensation Finger.
Ling Yi's fingers moved like laser guns, whistling through the air, and the men in black were all lying on the ground.
These people came to kill Ye Chen, but now that he has become Ye Chen's the Final Master, Ling Yi naturally cannot let them leave.
If I go back to report this, wouldn't it cause a lot of trouble?
Before you understand this Immortal Cultivation Realm, it's best to play it safe as much as possible.
With a wave of his hand, Ling Yi took Ye Chen into his Personal Small World.
Looking at the suddenly Changes environment around him, Ye Chen remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was extremely shocked.
His the Final Master was probably more mysterious and powerful than he had imagined.
"This is the headquarters of our Heaven-Exploding Sect!" Ling Yi said, pointing to the huge academy gate.
Ye Chen surveyed the so-called Heaven-Exploding Sect's headquarters, feeling that this so-called immortal cultivation sect was different from what he understood as an immortal cultivation sect.
Although Ye Chen had never seen a cultivation sect, he had heard many people mention them.
Cultivation sects are mostly located in famous mountains and great rivers, atop the Ethereal Mountain, exuding an ethereal, otherworldly charm, with palaces and pavilions.
But these square buildings in front of me are so unique.
Ling Yi showed Ye Chen around the academy, explaining where the cafeteria, dormitories, and main teaching building were.
Finally, they took him to the dormitory area.
He randomly picked dormitory room number 101 and said, "This will be your room from now on!"
This is the single-person dormitory area; the rooms are 60 square meters.
It has a separate kitchen, toilet, and bathroom. The living room has two sofas and a coffee table.
There's a TV, the Fridge conditioner on the wall.
There was a Computer in the bedroom, but the bed only had a mattress and no blankets.
In short, this dormitory looks very modern.
Although the Computer and television can be turned on and used, they are useless without a network signal.
The Fridge and air conditioners can also be used, since these household appliances all use Mutant Beast crystal cores as energy.
It should last at least ten years or so without any problem.
Ling Yi explained how to use most of the things to Ye Chen, regardless of whether Ye Chen could remember them.
Anyway, there's plenty of time. Let Ye Chen get an impression first, and then he can slowly figure out how to use it.
Finally, they took out four books and a mobile phone.
After giving a brief explanation and stuffing the Fridge full of Mutant Beast meat, Ling Yi left.
Looking at the closed door, Ye Chen's head was buzzing.
Now, he can be fairly certain of a few things.
First, this so-called Heaven-Exploding Sect only has one the Final Master, and the Final Master's only disciple is him.
Secondly, although his cheap the Final Master had accepted him as a disciple, he was perfunctory in everything he did and didn't seem to care much about him as a disciple.
Third, this place is no longer the Central-Northern Empire; it is very likely a Legend blessed land.
This judgment is based on the fact that the position of the sun in the sky has deviated significantly.
The sun is weaker here, the air is fresh, and the temperature is pleasant.
It should be noted that at this moment, the Central-Northern Empire was still in the dead of winter, with the ground frozen and the weather bitterly cold.
"Since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it!" Ye Chen murmured.
Being alive is already a great blessing; thinking about anything else is useless. I should focus on becoming stronger first.
Ye Chen picked up the four books on the table, ready to flip through them.
The moment he touched the book, it transformed into a stream of light and entered his forehead.
This startled him.
But then, he had a memory of the inheritance of a cultivation technique in his mind.
"As expected of a cultivator's methods, truly amazing!" Ye Chen exclaimed in surprise after a long while.
Following the same process, the contents of the other three books were also imprinted in his mind.
The Heaven-Devouring Formula and the Golden Body Formula are both cultivation methods corresponding to Dark Spirit Root and Gold Spiritual Root, while the Dark Shadow Clone and the Nine Revolutions of the Golden Body are corresponding spells and techniques.
One cultivates Spiritual Power, the other possesses skills Divine Ability abilities.
"If they are all Saint Tier cultivation techniques, then this the Final Master is truly incredible."
Even if I joined the Hundred Leaps Sect, I would never have the chance to cultivate a Saint Tier technique.
Cultivation techniques and spells are divided into the following ranks from lowest to highest: Mortal Tier, Earth Tier, Heaven Tier, Emperor Tier, Saint Tier, and God Tier.
Immortal Cultivation Realm. Let alone Saint Tier techniques, even Mortal Tier techniques are very difficult to obtain.
The major cultivation sects have extremely strict control over their cultivation techniques.
The secrets of this martial arts technique must not be leaked outside the sect. Anyone found doing so will be hunted down and killed.
Even Mortal Tier cultivation technique can be the Key to embarking on the path of cultivation and Mortal Transcendence immortal.
From that moment on, the mortal and immortal realms were separated.
For ordinary people, it is a gateway to heaven that they would be willing to give up worldly power and wealth for.
If a cultivation technique for immortality were to appear in the mortal realm, it would surely cause a bloodbath.
It could even trigger a war between nations.
Just like the Hundred Leaps Sect within the Central-Northern Empire, it became a powerful immortal cultivation sect by obtaining a Earth Tier immortal cultivation technique from a secret realm.
He reigned above imperial power and controlled the resources of dozens of countries.
With a single command, one nation can be destroyed, and another can be created.
The reason Ye Chen was being hunted down was simply because of a Hundred Leaps Token.
The Hundred Leaps Token is an Entry qualification token issued by the Hundred Leaps Sect.
With the Hundred Leaps Token, one can go to the Hundred Leaps Sect. Once one passes the Entry examination, one will become a disciple of the Hundred Leaps Sect.
However, if the assessment is failed, the Hundred Leaps Token be invalidated.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Chen sat cross-legged on the mattress and began his first cultivation session.
Ling Yi's Personal Small World was incredibly rich in Spiritual Qi, at least ten times that of the outside world.
However, its Spiritual Qi is even more concentrated than that of some blessed grottoes.
Apart from a few large sects located on Spirit Stone veins, not many sects have Spiritual Qi that can reach such a level.
As Ye Chen entered a meditative state, the dense Spiritual Qi Spiritual Qi transformed into a visible vortex, Ye Chen into his body.
