Ye Beixuan: Senior, Could It Be That You're Afraid?
"Half-Saint's magic crystal? How is that possible?"
"Those country bumpkins from the Profound Continent actually suppressed a Half-Saint?"
"..."
The other seventeen lords were discussing amongst themselves. Although their words differed, they all expressed the same sentiment: they did not believe that Ye Beixuan and his group could suppress the Half-Saint Devil Master.
The Phoenix Ancestor did not ask any further questions, but simply looked at Ye Beixuan quietly.
"Reporting to the Ancestor, the Devil Master lord I suppressed was named Buddha Devil."
Ye Beixuan said, neither humble nor arrogant.
hiss...
The assembled elders instinctively gasped upon hearing the words "Buddha Devil."
Many of them had heard of the Buddha Devil's fearsome reputation, and even they might not be able to escape Buddha Devil if they faced them.
How can you prove that you are suppressing Buddha Devil?
The Phoenix Ancestor continued to inquire.
"Ancestor, please look at this item."
As Ye Beixuan spoke, he took out a Sariputra from his storage ring.
It was a Sariputra radiating Buddhist light, but it was surrounded by Sariputra energy, exactly the same as that on the demonic crystal.
"Did you really suppress the Buddha Devil?"
The ancestor of the Phoenix Clan still found it hard to believe.
"Of course it's true."
Ye Beixuan looked confident.
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
The Great Sage of the Thunderbird Clan suddenly interrupted Ye Beixuan and the Phoenix Ancestor's conversation. The thought that his family's prodigy had been suppressed by this kid and needed to undergo Nirvana made him unhappy, and he wanted to cause trouble for the other party.
Whether the other party truly suppressed that Buddha Devil is not important. After all, their Thunderbird Clan has several Saint in their ancestral land. In the end, their Thunderbird Clan will benefit. As for the truth, it's up to whoever is stronger to decide.
The Phoenix Ancestor, displeased at being interrupted, turned to the Great Sage of the Thunderbird Clan with a sullen face and asked, "Jinglei, why do you believe that the Profound Continent are unable to suppress the Buddha Devil?"
Great Sage Jinglei said with a face full of indignation, "Because of my Thunderbird, and the prodigies of the Great Wind and Blue Phoenix Clan, they were all harmed by him. It must be that the prodigies of my three clans used that formation, and fought the Buddha Devil to a standstill, which allowed him to take advantage of the situation."
"Really?"
The patriarch of the Phoenix Clan turned his gaze to Ye Beixuan and asked with a smile, "Young man, what do you think?"
Ye Beixuan said calmly, "We cultivators speak with strength. If the seniors of the Thunderbird Clan don't believe me, they are welcome to fight me."
These words shocked everyone present!
"You arrogant brat!"
Great Sage Jinglei never expected that a brat from the Profound Continent would dare to provoke him like this. He was, after all, a well-known Great Sage from the Desolate Continent, and he immediately started cursing without caring about his image.
The surrounding cultivators began to whisper among themselves.
"This brat has some nerve, daring to provoke a great Great Sage like this! Even the Phoenix Ancestor of the Profound Continent can't protect him!"
"Now this is going to be interesting. I want to see how tough this kid is, and whether he can withstand a Great Sage Jinglei."
"..."
Ye Beixuan completely ignored the crowd's discussions, looked at Great Sage Jinglei with a playful expression, and laughed, "Senior, are you perhaps afraid?"
"Snort!!!"
Great Sage Jinglei sneered, "Would I be afraid of a mere brat like you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful aura emanated from him and pressed down on Ye Beixuan.
The ancestor of the Phoenix Clan did not make a move, but quietly watched Ye Beixuan. Having lived for tens of thousands of years, this was the first time it had seen such an arrogant young man. It would teach him a lesson first, so that it could understand the whole story.
Despite feeling the oppressive aura of the Great Sage Jinglei, Ye Beixuan remained unfazed and said with a smile, "Senior, your oppressive aura is nothing special."
After he finished speaking, a Primordial Chaos Purple Light emanated from behind him. This purple light contained the True Essence of the Great Dao and directly dispelled the oppressive aura of the Great Sage Jinglei.
"The True Essence of the Great Dao!"
"That kid actually grasped the True Essence of the Great Dao!"
"..."
The patriarchs who had been observing the situation were immediately shocked by the change in Ye Beixuan's aura, and they all looked at him with astonishment.
Even the Phoenix Clan's ancestor showed surprise in his eyes and subconsciously asked a question.
"Young man, who exactly did you learn your skills from?"
Ye Beixuan smiled and said, "Reporting to the Ancestor, this junior was born into the Dao-Seeking Academy."
"I see."
The patriarch of the Phoenix Clan nodded slightly and turned his gaze to Great Sage Jinglei: "Do you have any further objections?"
Great Sage Jinglei's face was extremely ugly at this moment. He never expected that his attempt to intimidate others with his power would not only be broken by a mere Dao Integration cultivator, but he would also be humiliated by the other party.
He cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to the patriarch of the Phoenix Clan and said, "I have nothing to say."
"Then you may leave now."
The ancestor of the Phoenix Clan flapped his wings.
"Promise."
After giving a reply, Great Sage Jinglei turned and left.
The patriarch of the Phoenix Clan proclaimed, "Now, who still questions the strength of the Profound Continent descendants of Xuanzhou?"
Everyone present was no fool. Seeing Ye Beixuan's talent, they naturally knew he was no ordinary person, especially since he was born in a sacred land. Going after him would be asking for trouble.
All the elders replied, "We have no objections."
The patriarch of the Phoenix Clan continued, "I hereby announce that the winner of this trial is Profound Continent descendant from Xuanzhou!"
"Yeah!"
Upon hearing the news, everyone in Fire Phoenix Valley raised their hands and cheered, their faces beaming with joy.
The two patriarchs of Fire Phoenix Valley were also beaming with joy. They had previously anticipated that Ye Beixuan could lead the disciples of Fire Phoenix Valley to achieve good results.
To everyone's surprise, Ye Beixuan actually got first place in the trial. This meant that Fire Phoenix Valley had three spots. Thinking of this, the two subconsciously exchanged a glance.
The patriarch of the Phoenix Clan said, "I have a few questions for you, Ye Beixuan. Do you have the time now?"
Ye Beixuan cupped his hands and said, "Senior, please ask."
"Were the two Sword Qi I sensed outside the secret realm related to you?"
As soon as the Phoenix Clan's patriarch uttered these words, all the cultivators present turned their gazes toward Ye Beixuan once again.
Those two Sword Qi, whether inside or outside the secret realm, terrified all the cultivators.
Ye Beixuan respectfully replied, "That's right, that Sword Qi was indeed used by me. However, I used a treasure to seal my master's Sword Qi within it. Anyone below the level of Saint would perish with a single strike, and even Saint would suffer a great loss."
"Young man, could it be that your master is Saint?"
The ancestor of the Phoenix Clan asked with a smile.
Ye Beixuan shook his head. "No, my master is not Saint, but he has a record of defeating Saint."
"Oh?"
The patriarch of the Phoenix Clan immediately became interested and continued to ask, "Such Great Sage must not be Wuming. May I ask which fellow Daoist you are?"
Ye Beixuan respectfully replied, "My master is known as the Great Sage Qiankun."
