Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 329: Chapter 329 Yuan Venerate Suppressed_1

That very day, Ling Xiao fought alone against thirty Half-step Grandmasters.

These people were the elites among the Outer Disciples.

Most Disciples could not withstand a single move under Ling Xiao’s attack, and even during this process, Ling Xiao would occasionally give these Disciples pointers.

He didn’t give it much thought, simply feeling that they were all fellow Sect brothers and sisters, and offering advice was as easy as opening his mouth.

However, what he didn’t expect was that his actions had garnered the full support of most of the Outer Disciples.

It could be said that even if Ling Xiao were to enter the Inner Sect, the entire Outer Sect would become his supporters.

This was an invaluable source of power.

It might not seem apparent usually, but since Inner Sect Disciples also came from the Outer Sect, if these people entered the Inner Sect, they could undoubtedly bring immense benefits to Ling Xiao.

Zhao Ci remained somewhat aloof and conservative. After being defeated by a single move from Ling Xiao, she was actually unwilling to listen to Ling Xiao’s pointers.

For such a woman, Ling Xiao couldn’t be bothered to care.

Zhao Zhi and Zhao Ci were siblings, and not just any siblings—they were blood-related, yet their personalities were completely different.

Before the challenge, Zhao Zhi had said that he hoped Ling Xiao could spar with him for a few more moves, to help identify his cultivation flaws.

Ling Xiao naturally did not refuse.

A fight that could have been resolved within ten moves, he ended up sparring with Zhao Zhi for over a hundred moves.

While giving pointers to Zhao Zhi, he also gained a lot from it himself.

After all, Zhao Zhi was a genius too. Some of his ideas Ling Xiao had not thought of, and this exchange had allowed him to learn all of them.

”Senior Brother Ling’s strength now, I’m afraid doesn’t even consider martial artists of the first level of the Transcendent Realm worthy adversaries, right?”

After the challenge was over, Zhao Zhi let out a helpless sigh.

It seemed that if Ling Xiao didn’t advance to the Inner Sect, he would never be able to become the number one in the Outer Sect.

”Indeed, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he’s the strongest Outer Disciple in the history of the Moon Hua Sect.”

After this challenge among the Outer Disciples, Ling Xiao was basically unbeatable.

However, being invincible in the Outer Sect didn’t mean much.

After the challenge, he still returned to his cave dwelling to continue cultivating.

During this nearly half-month recovery period, his time wasn’t exactly wasted, but he still hadn’t devoted all his energy to cultivation.

After this challenge, he also gained quite a bit of insight from the thirty Outer Disciples and planned to integrate all of it into his cultivation.

When three people walk together, one can be my teacher.

Although this saying sounds simple, many people find it difficult to live by.

But Ling Xiao had always done so, even if the person was clearly much less advanced in cultivation, there was something that could enlighten him.

Currently, the difficulties he needed to overcome boiled down to two points.

One point was the accumulation of power for the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body, as long as he could break through the fifth layer, he could ascend to the Transcendent Realm with all three potentials in unison.

This was much more challenging than advancing with a single or dual potential, but once advanced, it would be incredibly strong, with a solid foundation and rapid progression in cultivation.

The other point was the fusion of his Mountain and River Martial Soul with his own soul.

This was something Ling Xiao had no solution for either. The fusion had seemed to stagnate after reaching 99 percent, unlike the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body, which could be trained, this degree of fusion could only be achieved by finding some catalyst, perhaps turning 99 percent into a perfect 100 percent.

He looked forward to it, what changes would occur to the Mountain and River Martial Soul once perfectly integrated?

And what changes would occur to himself?

He couldn’t ask anyone else about this because no one had such experience; everything had to rely on his own efforts.

One day, he learned that Guanghan Celestial Venerate and Yang Dan Lin had come out of seclusion, so he quickly stopped his cultivation and went to meet the two seniors.

These two fought a fierce battle with Demonflame Celestial Venerate on his account, both sustaining injuries of varying degrees, and even almost came to a complete falling out with the Enforcement Hall because of it.

He had to thank them in person.

It was only when Ling Xiao went to Yanɡ Dan Lin’s dwelling that he realized Guanghan Celestial Venerate was also there; the two seemed to be discussing some secret matter.

”Ling Xiao, you’re here! Come in!”

Yanɡ Dan Lin was still as kind and affable as ever, just like an old grandpa.

Guanghan Celestial Venerate was as icy as ever, but Ling Xiao could feel the goodwill emanating from her.

”Disciple pays respects to Elder Yanɡ and Guanghan Elder!”

The moment Ling Xiao walked into the dwelling, he did not see Yuan Venerate, and a strong sense of unease suddenly arose within him.

What on earth had happened?

He frowned, waiting for Yanɡ Dan Lin and Guanghan Celestial Venerate to speak.

”Sit down, Ling Xiao. There are some things that it seems can no longer be hidden from you,”

Yanɡ Dan Lin sighed and said.

”Could it be that something has happened to my master?”

Ling Xiao asked, his demeanor appearing calm, but his heart was already in turmoil.

”It’s like this...”

Yanɡ Dan Lin did not conceal anything from Ling Xiao, briefly recounting the events that occurred while Ling Xiao was unconscious.

It turned out that after Ling Xiao fell unconscious and was on the brink of death, even Yuan Venerate believed there was a great chance Ling Xiao might die, with the likelihood of survival not exceeding thirty percent.

And for that reason, Yuan Venerate became enraged.

All this time, he had appeared harmless to both humans and animals, but having accepted such a good disciple, to then lose him to a murderer, filled him with fury.

Consequently, he sought out Demonflame Celestial Venerate together with Yanɡ Dan Lin.

They ran into Guanghan Celestial Venerate there by chance, with the corpses of the molten lava lizards lying scattered around the vicinity of the Volcano Palace.

Although Guanghan Celestial Venerate did not care for Ling Xiao as much as Yuan Venerate did, the fact that Demonflame Celestial would dare to kill an Outer Disciple with blatant disregard for rank and identity within her domain and right under her nose infuriated her.

After sending Ling Xiao to Yanɡ Dan Lin’s dwelling, she went there and fought her way to the Volcano Palace.

Truth be told, Demonflame Celestial Venerate’s strength was completely beyond Guanghan Celestial Venerate’s expectations.

If it hadn’t been for Yanɡ Dan Lin’s timely arrival, and if Yuan Venerate hadn’t risked making a move, even Guanghan Celestial Venerate and Yanɡ Dan Lin might have both died there.

However, after Yuan Venerate took action, it alerted the Enforcement Hall.

Following that, Demonflame Celestial Venerate was rescued, while Yuan Venerate was suppressed by the combined efforts of the five Enforcement Elders of the Enforcement Hall.

These five Enforcement Elders can be said to be the five strongest individuals in the Moon Hua Sect, and Yuan Venerate had obviously not yet recovered his strength. Yet even so, these Enforcement Elders paid a heavy price to suppress Yuan Venerate.

”How is my master now?”

Ling Xiao asked anxiously.

”He has been imprisoned at the top floor of the Moon Blossom Pagoda. There’s an Array Formation left from the Ancient Era designed to imprison demons there. Even Yuan Venerate cannot escape from it,”

Yanɡ Dan Lin sighed and explained.

”These Enforcement Elders are really being unreasonable. Demonflame Celestial Venerate broke the rules first; do they not care about that at all?”

Ling Xiao said angrily.

”My child, this is the rule of the Mysterious World—might makes right!”

Yanɡ Dan Lin suddenly spoke with a grave tone: ”The Enforcement Hall doesn’t care about the death of an Outer Disciple at all. Even if you’re a genius, what matters more to them is Demonflame Celestial Venerate. Therefore, they will very obviously protect Demonflame Celestial Venerate in this matter.”
