Yi Qingxiang and Jiang Xueyan's faces immediately became very ugly. These few days, they had all obtained considerable benefits cultivating in Upper Groove Court.
But this benefit obtained had a price too.
This kind of treatment that did not match one's status was very easy to arouse other people's disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e.
This was what they did not take into account previously.
"This … This is all Ye Yuan's fault!" Jiang Xueyan said gloomily.
Yi Qingxiang also complained, "Yeah, this guy just loves to stand in the limelight!"
The moment Ye Yuan heard, he could not help shaking his head and laughing in spite of himself.
This was human nature, when it was beneficial to them, they would feel that it was natural and right. But once a problem occurred, they would feel that it was all your fault.
But Baili Qingyan was indignant and said with a cold smile, "That day when you guys checked in, weren't you still dancing merrily with joy? If not for Ye Yuan, you all would have to stay in the woodshed! As a True God level sect's disciples, this is your bit of pitiful dignity?"
At this time, Little Tong was hugging Treasure Pig had a childish voice, but behaved like a senior as he said, "Do the two of you still want face or not? Did Ye Yuan beg you guys to stay inside? Or is it that you guys feel that with your strength, as long as you're not targeted, you can get the qualifications to enter the temple?"
The two people could not help choking up when they heard it. This little devil was not old but did not give any face when talking.
The two people exchanged a glance, and both fell silent.
What Little Tong said was right, even if not targeted, it was also impossible for them to get the qualifications to enter the temple.
Hearing that Ye Yuan was going to take part in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave, Little Tong was very interested and insisted on coming no matter what.
Each Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave would have a fixed number of 64 people participating.
As for the allocation of places, it was allocated to the various major sects according to the sect's strength by the temple, by taking into consideration the circ.u.mstances.
This quota was not fixed, but in the recent few sessions, High Clarity Sect, Ruyi Sect, and a few other major sects, each one of them occupied seven to eight spots.
The places of the other weaker sects reduced in turn.
The Shadowmoon Sect possessed four spots. It was considered not few, but actually, there was basically not much hope.
After all, among the 64 people, there were only a mere five final spots.
The Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave was a fierce battle, the conclave would last for several months, even as long as a year.
The disciples taking part in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave would fight battles. Every day, only five matches were carried out, all the way until all of the people finished fighting.
Finally, the five people with the highest victory rates were eligible to enter the temple.
This kind of fierce fighting was a test to all the disciples, and also the opportunity to all disciples.
Disciples able to come to the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave were the best among the various major True God level sects. Not one was mediocre.
Even those sects that were weaker similarly could not be underestimated.
In the matches in the past, there was no lack of examples of some powerful sects' disciples being brought down by small sects' disciples.
Furthermore, over the period as long as several months, some people would learn from other people's strong points, their strength advancing by leaps and bounds, even charging into the top five in the end.
It was not that this did not happen before in the past.
Du Rufeng held a rectangle-shaped jade tablet and said in a clear voice, "Alright. Now, everyone, inject divine essence into this jade tablet. The jade tablet will automatically help you all generate a number and automatically pair."
The Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave this time was presided over by precisely him.
When the group of disciples heard that, they sent out their divine essence one after another.
For some time, divine essence with all kinds of colors flew everywhere in midair, and finally injected into the jade tablet.
After everyone injected their divine essence, the jade tablet suddenly erupted with rays of brilliant light, emitting a light.
On the light screen displayed everyone's numbers.
Ye Yuan searched it for a bit and discovered that his number was actually in the last place: No. 64.
In the crowd, someone suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Hahaha, a genius who stayed in Upper Groove Court is actually No. 64, how hilarious!"
"Really shameless! This bit of strength and he also has the face to stay in Upper Groove Court. If I were him, I'd have long moved away!"
With him laughing, quite a few people all guffawed along with him.
The words were full of ridicule towards Ye Yuan.
Everyone knew that for the Shadowmoon Sect to be able to stay in Upper Groove Court was entirely because Ye Yuan hit it off with that pig.
Actually, he did not have the qualifications to stay in Upper Groove Court at all!
Ye Yuan felt baffled and asked Xu Yan, "What's so funny about No. 64?"
Xu Yan had not spoken yet when Little Tong interjected, "You aren't from the outside world, right? To not even know this? The jade tablet in Du Rufeng's hand is called Profound Realm Tablet. It can accurately determine your realm through your divine essence. You're No. 64, which means that your realm is the lowest among these 64 people! Who do you think they should mock if not you?"
The moment Ye Yuan heard, he came to a realization, only then, becoming aware of this jade tablet's prowess.
This thing was simply a demon revealing mirror, making you b.a.r.e everything!
Similarly, initial-stage First Firmament Celestial Deity, each person's realm could not possibly be exactly the same too.
Cultivation realm was linear. Cultivating one more day, there was a possibility of being that trace higher than other people's realm.
Of course, because of differences in cultivation methods and differences in talent, cultivation speed would vary.
Suddenly, the light screen showed dense text once more.
Du Rufeng said, "All of your matches are already displayed here. Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave started officially from today! Don't want to have your match, you can decide not to attend. If you miss your match, you'll be issued a loss!"
Finished talking, Du Rufeng even glanced at Ye Yuan meaningfully.
Someone exclaimed, "Eh, that kid's fight is tomorrow. His opponent is … High Clarity Sect's He Yuan!"
Ye Yuan's existence was even more resounding than High Clarity Sect's Yang Shen and the Ruyi Sect's Luo Zhen.
Straight away, everyone saw his opponent in the first round, faces revealing gloating expressions one by one.
"Heh, this kid is really unlucky, encountering He Yuan in the first round!"
"Although He Yuan is High Clarity Sect's last place, he's also peak First Firmament Celestial Deity. Furthermore, his strength is much stronger than other sects' same rank martial artists!"
Just as everyone was discussing animatedly, a youth in purple came before Ye Yuan and said with a look of amus.e.m.e.nt, "Upper Groove Court's genius, tomorrow, you have to give guidance! Make sure not to concede defeat too quickly. Otherwise, everybody will be disappointed. How about … three moves?"
"Hahaha …" A wave of laughter came from all around.
This youth in purple was naturally He Yuan without a doubt.
Except, he did not come over to greet, but to intentionally humiliate Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Three moves are too many, just one move!"
Chapter 1827 - I Still Have to Go Back and Refine Pills
"Just one move? This guy is so shameless, is this going to directly
admit defeat?"
Ye Yuan's words immediately drew laughter from the crowd.
He Yuan said smugly, "Looks like you're really sent by the Shadowmoon Sect to play a side-character. It's just that your luck was good, being taken a fancy to by Treasure Pig. Tsk tsk, I thought how strong you were, really disappointing!"
Similarly First Firmament Celestial Deity, but Ye Yuan was merely at the initial-stage, while He Yuan was at the peak.
It was not that this small realm itself was insurmountable, but that He Yuan's strength was extremely strong in the first place.
Outside of the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave, he could even exchange blows with some initial-stage Second Firmament Celestial Deity powerhouses.
High Clarity Sect disciples, none were weaklings.
This point had already been affirmed using many seasons of Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave.
But Ye Yuan said coolly, "You're thinking too much. You'll admit defeat within one move!"
Once He Yuan heard, he laughed loudly and said, "Did everybody hear that? He wants to make me concede within one move! Hahaha, well-deserving of being an Upper Groove Court's genius, this imposing momentum is truly astonishing. I'm so scared!"
All around, there was a wave of laughter.
"Within the same realm, there really aren't many who dare say that they can beat He Yuan, let alone say to make him admit defeat within one move."
"Upper Groove Court's genius is all out of the ordinary when boasting!"
Divine Dao realms, the further to the back, the greater the disparity within realms.
Each step needed to go through a long time of acc.u.mulation.
Even between initial-stage First Firmament Celestial Deity and middle-stage, the strength was also totally different.
"Idiot!"
These words, Ye Yuan and Little Tong practically said it in unison.
He Yuan's face turned black and he said in a solemn voice, "What did you say?"
Ye Yuan said coolly, "Haven't even competed yet, so I really don't know where your sense of superiority comes from. Or is it that you'll definitely be stronger than others because you come from the High Clarity Sect? This baffling sense of superiority makes you seem very idiotic, understand?"
Hearing Ye Yuan's words, everyone all had shocked faces.
Aren't those who came from the High Clarity Sect impressive?
Shouldn't they have a sense of superiority?
No idea starting since when, the High Clarity Sect already became synonymous with being powerful.
Even the Ruyi Sect was already completely crushed by the High Clarity Sect until they were black and blue all over.
In the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclaves for close to ten thousand years, there were at least two people from the High Clarity Sect that could enter the temple.
There was even one season where they obtained four spots at once!
This kind of might already penetrated deep into the marrow.
Hence, the quota of the High Clarity Sect taking part in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave was as many as eight people!
The other sects could only look at their backs.
He Yuan's face fell and he said in a cold voice, "Brat, you actually dare to insult my High Clarity Sect! I changed my mind! Tomorrow, I'll make you unable to crawl up within one move!"
Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "When you can do that, then talk again! Little Tong, let's go."
Finished talking, Ye Yuan brought Little Tong and was about to leave.
Baili Qingyan was stunned and said, "You're not looking at today's matches? These five matches today, there are quite a few experts taking the stage!"
Disciples participating in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave, their strength was actually all very close, the battle situation very intense too.
Under such circ.u.mstances, apart from the top few people, the majority would choose to remain behind and watch the fights.
Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger of defeat.
There was naturally no harm in understanding one's opponent.
Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "Not watching, nothing good to watch."
In Ye Yuan's view, pill refining was much more interesting than watching these fights.
Looking at Ye Yuan's departing back view, everyone had astounded faces.
This boy's realm was not high, but he was unbelievably arrogant. Why would the Shadowmoon Sect let this sort of person come and take part in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave?
On the way, Ye Yuan glanced at Little Tong and said curiously, "You seem to be very optimistic about me."
Little Tong had an appearance like an old man as he said, "Your spatial law is already grand completion third firmament. If you can't even take care of that sort of guy, you can find a place to hit your head and die."
Ye Yuan was slightly surprised, this Little Tong's judgment was very strong!
Indeed well-deserving of being an empyrean powerhouse's descendant.
That He Yuan, Ye Yuan really did not take him seriously.
...
The five matches on the first day were indeed abnormally intense.
There was a battle where the two people fought until their divine essence was exhausted before barely managing to determine the victor.
There were virtually none capable of finishing off their opponent within a hundred moves.
It could be seen from this that the disparity who came to take part in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave might have differences in strength, but there was absolutely not a mediocre talent.
The battles on the second day were similarly incomparably fierce. But Ye Yuan did not show up.
All the way until midday, when the third match was about to start, did he appear.
Yang Shen came in front of He Yuan, patted his shoulder, and said, "Junior Apprentice Brother He, compete in this match well, don't give that Ye Yuan any chance. Our High Clarity Sect's reputation isn't allowed to be profaned!"
He Yuan also nodded and said, "Senior Apprentice Brother Yang rest assured, this boy is an ego-maniac, I'll give him a lightning blow the moment I go up and absolutely won't hold back!"
Yang Shen nodded his head, only then, setting his mind at ease.
The two people went up the ring, He Yuan sneered and said, "Brat, originally, I still want to save you some face. But you actually dared to make impertinent remarks about my High Clarity Sect, then be prepared to bear my wrath! Today, I'll let you take a look at how strong the High Clarity Sect is!"
Ye Yuan was speechless as he said, "So much nonsense. Quickly make your move. I still have to go back and refine pills."
These few years, Ye Yuan refined pills in great p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e and was even somewhat enjoying too much to think about other things anymore.
With Treasure Pig around, he had however many spirit medicines he wanted, no need to worry at all.
Battling with He Yuan was simply a waste of time.
But when He Yuan heard this, he immediately flared up with anger.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Want to refine pills, right? Then you crawl back and refine pills!"
Done talking, He Yuan's world power surged out frenziedly, directly enveloping Ye Yuan inside.
At this moment, the entire space on the stage seemed to be trembling.
The tremors grew stronger and stronger as if it was going to shatter the ring.
"This … is tremor law! It's a kind of earth law, possessing extremely strong offensiveness. Legend has it that when cultivated to the extreme, it can even shatter space! I didn't expect that He Yuan's strength was actually so strong!"
"Heh, looks like that kid really infuriated him! The moment he came up, it's his trump card!"
Below the stage, there was a wave of exclamations.
In terms of world power, He Yuan had an imposing momentum, as if no one could beat him.
He looked at Ye Yuan coldly, the moment on his body growing
stronger and stronger.
"Now, regret it, right? But you already have no regret medicine to eat! Suffer my wrath! Space … Shatter …"
He Yuan just spat two words out of his mouth when the Ye Yuan who did not move all along moved.
Only to see him take a step out, directly passing through the violent spatial quakes, arriving in front of He Yuan.
He Yuan's pupils constricted and did not have time to panic when Ye Yuan already pointed a finger out.
"Puhwark!"
He Yuan spent a long time acc.u.mulating the momentum but did not even unleash a single punch and was sent down the stage by Ye Yuan with one finger.
He Yuan fell to the ground, fresh blood spurting wildly. Until now, he still did not dare to believe the scene that just happened.
Inside the world power, he was the sovereign!
The closer to him, the stronger the power of the vibrations.
But this powerful tremor force actually had no effect on Ye Yuan at all.
As if the domain constructed by world power was Ye Yuan's in the first place.
Chapter 1828 - Deadly Blow
Just one move!
Really only used one move!
No fierce counterattacks, and no flashy exaggerated martial techniques.
What they saw was just a light finger action.
The various major sects' disciples were all staring dumbfoundedly, looking at this scene in disbelief.
He Yuan's grandiose and heroic words from before immediately became brainless clamoring at this moment.
Was the High Clarity Sect very strong?
These words that seemed very comical previously was affirmed by Ye Yuan with strength.
The High Clarity Sect was very weak!
The big commotion that He Yuan made appeared too boastful in front of Ye Yuan's casualness.
Ye Yuan looked at He Yuan who fell to the ground coolly and said, "Your wrath is so weak. I still have things to do, leaving first."
Finished talking, Ye Yuan's figure moved, disappearing from the ring, only leaving behind the dumbfounded looking people.
"This kid is so strong!"
"Is he really only No. 64? Could it be that the Profound Realm Tablet made a mistake?"
