Chapter 1589: Yutian Soul Race

Su Yi immediately sighed helplessly. Throughout his journey, he relied on his Heavenly Grade soul to fight against others. The Heavens Taming Incantation had only reached the stage of maintaining cultivation. So far, he still only had the strength of the initial stage of the third rank.

"Kid, you neglected the cultivation of your soul. This time I specifically came to ask for guidance! I just don’t know if my grandfather is still alright. Did the elder bring them over?" Su Yi couldn’t help but ask.

Palace Master Gu Yue looked at Su Yi, his expression suddenly becoming solemn. He said, "Sect Leader Su, when Zuo Qiufeng demoted me and made me rush back to Yutian River, I was afraid I wouldn’t have the ability to take care of the Su family clan. So, I made a point of finding the Palace Master who was in seclusion at that time."

"What did the Palace Master say?" Su Yi grew even more anxious, wanting to know what happened next. He asked in a soft voice.

After a pause, Elder Gu Yue touched his beard and said.

"The Palace Master just said that they knew about it. They will handle everything. They told me to go back to Lingyue Peak and rest well! They will discuss everything once they come out of seclusion!"

Su Yi couldn’t help but stand up, his eyebrows filled with worry, but Gu Yue’s expression became even more solemn as he said, "However, since the Palace Master has promised me, they won’t break their word. I guarantee with my life that the Su family clan will remain unharmed!"

Upon hearing this, Han Yurou’s eyebrows knitted tightly, and she exclaimed, "What good is your guarantee! Can your life compare to the lives of dozens or hundreds of people?"

"Miss Han!" Su Yi pulled Han Yurou towards him, his face turning serious.

Shadow Hall disciples could be found in six continents, three states, and one sea, but there was no news about anyone from the Su family. Even the grandfather of the Su family hadn’t returned to Man City. Until now, there was no solution except to trust.

Su Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Elder, you’ve saved me multiple times from danger. I choose to believe your words! But if the Palace Master doesn’t fulfill his promise, this Yutian Palace, I’ll make sure to cause a commotion!"

Old Man Gu Yue shook his head with a bitter smile as he looked at Su Yi. He said, "Sect Leader Su’s temper hasn’t changed at all! Fine then, in a couple of days, it’ll be the Yutian Soul Race. The Palace Master, who has been in seclusion for many years, will also attend. When Sect Leader Su asks him, he will know. By then, I’ll see what actions Zuo Qiufeng takes! Hmph!"

"Yutian Soul Race？"

Old Man Gu Yue’s expression changed and he said, "Just now, Tian Chang must have introduced you to the details of Yutian Palace, right? The Yutian Soul Race not only affects the future of all disciples at the headquarters but also determines the ranking of ordinary elders!"

Apart from the eighteen strong elders, there are a total of 103 ordinary elders in Yutian Palace. Besides their regular studies, the thousands of disciples also have to cultivate and study diligently under their respective elders. With 103 elders, it means that there are 103 teams participating in the Soul Tournament.

According to what Old Man Gu Yue said, the Yutian Soul Race focuses on the Soul Tournament, which is divided into four categories: martial cultivation, pill refining, weapon forging, and soul cultivation. The Yutian Soul Race is held every three years. For every first place in each category, the disciple can receive a benefit from Yutian Palace, and the elder can secure a place in the next elder election and become a strong elder in advance.

If a disciple manages to obtain two first places, or even three or four first places, it would be unprecedented. Not only would the disciple receive unparalleled rewards from the Palace Master, but the elders would also be granted incredible rewards. It can be said that it is highly enticing!

"Since you have become an alchemist, how can you participate in Soul Taming?" Su Yi was puzzled.

Alchemy, weapon refining, soul cultivation, and martial arts all require strong spiritual abilities. Participating in the competition is usually done as a team. As a Soul Tamer, of course, the main focus is on the Soul Taming competition. Although alchemy is not a main focus, it can provide spiritual power and help the alchemist create more powerful potions with its strong spiritual quality! The same goes for weapon refining!

Old Man Gu Yue explained softly, the Yutian Soul Race is an internal competition within the headquarters, aimed at selecting excellent disciples and evaluating outstanding elders. The eighteen elders are on par with the Deputy Palace Master, so they are not allowed to participate.

However, to ensure fairness, each of the eighteen elders can bring along four to five subordinates and assist weaker teams from the side.

Now that Elder Gu Yue has been demoted, he is neither the commander elder nor the Faculty Elder, nor is he a Princely Elder. He is just an ordinary elder from Lingyue Peak, so naturally he is eligible to participate in the competition.

"So what are the benefits this year?" Su Yi was curious.

"The benefits are determined at random by the Palace Master. If you can make the Palace Master happy, anything is possible!" Elder Gu Yue took a sip of tea and smiled gently.

"Senior, can I participate?" Su Yi asked.

"Originally, I was a Princely Elder, and since you are not from Yutian Palace, you naturally couldn’t participate. Now, I am nothing more than a regular elder from Lingyue Peak. There are no strict limitations. I will strive to secure a spot for you from the Central Region, and since you are a Heavenly Grade or above Soul Tamer, you definitely have enough strength to participate. I’m just not sure if you want to participate in martial arts or soul cultivation?"

"If possible, I want to join too!" Su Yi pondered for a moment, determination shining in his eyes.

Su Yi glanced at the astonished Elder Gu Yue and Han Yurou, and spoke to them.

"As long as there are no restrictions, I hope they can also participate, to help Lingyue Peak become the champion!"

Su Yi explained the situation to Elder Gu Yue, his voice soft as he said, "Oh? The Li family from Central Region. I have held the position of Central Region Palace Master for many years and have always wanted to visit. I didn’t expect such a calamity to occur! It’s really… sigh!"

"Sect Leader Su, how about this? I will personally take the Li siblings for a test later, and then we can decide together which event to participate in, what do you think?"

"Boom!"

Just as Su Yi was about to reply, a heart-wrenching roar and the clash of weapons could be heard from outside. Su Yi knew that it was definitely the Second Senior Brother that Tian Chang had just mentioned.

Palace Master Gu Yue’s eyes were filled with intense coldness, and Su Yi knew that Gu Yue was about to take action. He immediately said:

"Palace Master Gu Yue, the responsibility for this daring intrusion rests with me. I should be the one to resolve it. Please take Achu and the others for testing while I handle this. I’ll be back soon."

Han Yurou immediately became a little worried and said urgently, "I’ll go with you!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Two figures turned into streaks of light as they rushed out of the building. Old Man Gu Yue’s kind and gentle eyes instantly filled with anger. He said to Li Shiran and Achu, "It seems that I haven’t been out for a while, and some people have forgotten what I look like! Young friend, come with me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the aura surrounding Old Man Gu Yue dissipated and disappeared into the air, leaving only a trail of light to guide the way.

Outside Lingyue Cottage, the mountain peaks stretched out onto flat ground.

Lingyue Mountain was filled with lingering souls and a murderous intent permeated the air. The battle scars from the fighting between the lingering souls and bursts of energy covered the mountain.
