Chapter 220: The Spiritual Law Battle Begins
“In the younger generation, there are five individuals in the spiritual realm, the oldest being only thirty-seven years old. They will participate in the Wenyun Ceremony. Those over forty in the family will only take part in the follower selection.”
“Joining the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect allows you to bring a maximum of three followers. So, who gets selected depends on their strength; you can think carefully about it. The two strongest must follow you, and you can choose the other one yourself.”
As Xiang Dong spoke, Yun Ye gradually recognized everyone present.
The Xiang Family indeed had more talent.
In the younger generation alone, there were five individuals in the spiritual realm, while the older generation had accumulated at least twenty.
Unlike Baishi Town, which relied entirely on the Secret Realm, the resources in Wenyun Town had to be fought for outside the town, and there had to be enough manpower to safeguard them, creating a strong motivation to cultivate more combat power.
For example, the Xiang Family maintained a presence in the spirit vein at Beize, stationed there to fend off demon attacks.
This spirit vein is used to produce spirit stones.
The spirit stone workshop is established along this vein, producing spirit stones day and night, which are then transported back to the Xiang Family.
In terms of resource richness, Wenyun Town is comparable to Baishi Town, and the environment is even better for the middle class.
In Baishi Town, noble families often only had two or three individuals in the spiritual realm, but any family in Wenyun Town had at least twenty.
However, in terms of law realms, due to the lack of high-end resources, they were about the same as Baishi Town.
As long as the spiritual realm doesn’t have sufficiently powerful formations, they pose no threat to the law realms, so real strength comparisons are calculated based on the number and levels of law realms; since both towns have similar law realms, their overall strength isn’t too far apart.
Yun Ye wanted to destroy Wenyun Town, but the difficulty wasn’t particularly high…
(No, why am I unconsciously starting to think so far ahead again?)
(This time, staying hidden is the way to go. Acting as a mastermind to weaken the strength of various noble families is the best way to maximize results. For this, I haven’t even awakened a Dao Artifact to avoid detection in the Dao Domain.)
Yun Ye cleared away distracting thoughts.
In this life, he would hardly awaken Tomorrow anymore, keeping the Dao Artifact in a “return to heaven” state.
Yun Ye’s return to heaven was different from others; it was not a return to the heavens but a temporary dwelling in the heavens.
The people of Tomorrow Society could still borrow power from Dao Artifacts, and even if a Dao Artifact wielder from Tomorrow died, part of their Dao Artifact Resonance would automatically flow back to the source of Tomorrow.
Of course, hiding also comes at a price; aside from not being able to use things like the Upgrade Panel, Yun Ye couldn’t even use the Moon Ring to defeat enemies. The only thing he could do was open or close the Secret Realm.
Having cleared his mind, Yun Ye continued to listen to Xiang Dong’s explanations.
The group walked toward a platform not far away that had seating specifically for spectating, elevated enough to overlook the entire Heavenly Martial Arena.
About thirty people from the Xiang Family gathered here.
There were various types of cultivators.
Xiang Dong specifically pointed out a black-haired young girl: “Ying’er, this is the only cultivator in the family with the Innate Spiritual Law; she would be very suitable as your follower.”
“Innate Spiritual Law?” Yun Ye looked over in surprise, and the black-haired girl happened to look back, making eye contact with Yun Ye.
She had a sweet appearance and didn’t mind being observed; instead, she smiled at Yun Ye and walked over to greet him.
“My name is Xiang Qingrou… Does the heir have an interest in me? My Innate Spiritual Law is very useful, you know?” Xiang Qingrou said with a natural smile, unabashedly promoting herself.
“I don’t know yet. Can you tell me more?” Yun Ye asked.
“Haha, you really don’t know? Heir, why not experience it for yourself? It will be very interesting, I promise!” Xiang Qingrou replied.
“……” Yun Ye did not insist and quietly nodded. He asked, “When does the selection begin? Will I fight in the beginning or the end?”
“The head of the family is not present, so of course, you can challenge first if you want, or choose to select followers first; the decision is yours. From now on, everything is up to you,” Xiang Dong said.
“I see.” Yun Ye touched the sealing device on his forehead. “Then, I’m a bit eager now. Let’s start the challenges right away! Inform everyone to come and fight me!”
He turned and jumped down from the platform, walking straight to the center, waiting for the battle to begin.
Though he said he was eager, no one saw any change in his expression. Xiang Qingrou couldn’t help but laugh: “The heir is truly generous! Hahaha, I can hardly sense much emotion; it seems this time we will witness a spectacular show.”
She particularly loved to laugh.
This was probably due to her Innate Spiritual Law.
Because of this Spirit Law, she often saw many interesting things, which shaped her personality.
“A great show…?”
Xiang Dongqi and the others exchanged glances, feeling an ominous premonition without knowing why.
It shouldn’t be, right?
After all, they were just mortals.
Even the weakest among them was foundational in the spiritual realm; there was no way they would lose to a mortal, right?
“Since the heir wants to begin the challenge first, please step forward, everyone.”
“Haha, let me showcase the extraordinary talent of the heir!”
After Xiang Dong commanded, many people disappeared with smiles, officially entering the battlefield.
“Dongqi, you all go too. If Xiang Ying struggles, make sure to keep the pressure on him; just a little bit of pressure will help him grow. He only needs a little time to become strong quickly.”
“Yes!”
……
Yun Ye casually found an open space and waited.
Numerous Spiritual Law masters from the family gathered around, and after a brief discussion, a man stepped forward.
“Heir, I am quite ashamed; I am not in the spiritual realm but merely a master of the Walking Law. I will be the first to combat the heir.”
“My name is Xiang Qing.”
The forty-year-old man bowed, and his aura indeed indicated he was only a mortal.
“Fine.”
Yun Ye nodded.
“Then… here I come!”
After bowing, Xiang Qing instantly entered a combat state, releasing a dense aura of murderous intent that pressed against Yun Ye’s spirit, attempting to seize the initiative.
However, this tactic was clearly ineffective against Yun Ye, as the Three Mystical True Fire burned and resisted the Spirit Law attack.
“Invalid?”
Xiang Qing was somewhat puzzled. If he remembered correctly, family hunts began at eight years old; prior to that, family members should not have seen blood. Why was the heir able to accept the pressure of murderous intent without any response?
Xiang Qing’s thoughts would lead nowhere, so he decisively moved to the next stage:
“Heavy Water Walking Law!”
Black heavy water surged, engulfing Xiang Qing, then streaming toward Yun Ye, crushing everything in its path.
At the same time, a large amount of spirit energy began to gather, constructing a powerful technique.
“Is it heavy water with increased weight and solubility?”
Yun Ye’s surface spirit energy surged, connecting with the sky, and suddenly dark clouds gathered as the Xiang Yu Walking Law activated.
The Xiang Yu Walking Law was the core technique of the head of the family, and with the support of the Heavenly Path, its power far exceeded that of other techniques.
Within the range of Xiang Yu, most of the spirit energy was seized by the user, continuously depleting the enemy, leading to a rapid weakening.
This was the most commonly used strategy of the Xiang Yu Walking Law: deplete the opponent’s spirit energy while enhancing one’s own.
Once the time was right, they could unleash a powerful spiritual technique with a decisive strike using the accumulated spirit energy.
“Break!”
