Chapter 94: First Level: Unmatched and Undefeated
“Come out!"
Li Fahxing shouted madly.
The water domain swirled and sliced through the air.
Every area above Li Fahxing was gradually flattened.
The Spirit Mountain had high immunity to Cracking Wind, but once other forces reached their limit, they could still cause destruction.
However, Li Fahxing wasn’t yet capable of celestial phenomena, able to erase an area with a single blow.
In his frenzy, Li Fahxing bombarded with all his might. If it weren’t for the Spirit Law restricting him from attacking others, everyone would have probably been annihilated by now.
After a good ten seconds, the valley lay in ruins, and Li Fahxing finally sensed something was wrong and regained his sanity.
“Not here?”
Naturally, it was empty.
Yun Ye realized things were not going well and had decisively retreated.
“Woo woo woo—”
The Cracking Wind howled.
Yun Ye had left, but the Wind Tree remained. It had no feelings and didn’t sense shock; it merely stayed still to restore its power.
Now that its strength had recovered significantly, the Cracking Wind expanded and swirled, standing equal to the water domain.
Seeing this scene, Li Fahxing’s expression darkened considerably.
This mission was undoubtedly a case of losing both the lady and the troops; not only was Tong Yuan dead, but the Nine Bone Spirit Grass hadn’t been obtained either.
Did he have to continue fighting alone to kill the Wind Tree?
No, it was too risky; he might not win.
Furthermore, after such a significant event, he couldn’t casually fight the Wind Tree, especially if the opponent returned.
No, wait, in the Crescent Moon Secret Realm, only a Great Disaster could instantaneously eliminate them. Perhaps this was just a surprise attack—what if another unexpected attack came?
Thus, even though Li Fahxing didn’t understand if Tong Yuan was targeted or just unlucky, since the enemy hadn’t shown up, he didn’t need to risk his life in combat. That was a good thing—a very good thing. He needed to seize the opportunity that Tong Yuan had bought with his life!
No matter what, having witnessed Tong Yuan being annihilated, he was genuinely frightened. Now, he only felt that survival was the real deal; all interests, including the Nine Bone Spirit Grass, were trivial…
Glancing at the other Black Armored Spiritual Law practitioners, whose faces were filled with horror, Li Fahxing lost his will to fight. “Action halted, regroup! We’re leaving!”
If they didn’t leave now, they would scare themselves to death!
With that, a team quickly withdrew.
The storm subsided.
The Wind Tree couldn’t move, so a chase was out of the question. Seeing the distance was too far, it ceased attacking and reconnected with the sky to continue its growth and evolution.
…
Yun Ye struggled down the mountain, his entire Black Armor torn and tattered with countless wounds. Though they were healing, they still pained his nerves constantly—but Yun Ye was very happy. He leaned against a tree with his right hand, looking down and laughing repeatedly.
A great revenge is achieved!
Though it wasn’t a crushing victory, it still brought the same pain and suffering for Tong Yuan, which was satisfying enough for Yun Ye.
Yun Ye felt truly happy, incredibly happy.
He had grown from a clueless ant to where he was now in just eighteen years.
But what about the noble families in Baishi Town?
Most of them had hundreds, even thousands of years of history. Their accumulation of strength was terrifying!
Yun Ye had eliminated Tong Yuan using a cunning tactic with a magical tool, marking a solid first step forward, and the path ahead was clear.
The feeling of hope filled Yun Ye’s entire being with joy.
People are not afraid of difficulties; they fear having no hope.
Tong Yuan was just the beginning.
It was the start of his ability to change everything.
The encouragement this moment gave Yun Ye was even stronger than the joy of revenge.
After a brief moment of happiness, Yun Ye left.
“Shi Baiyan and the rest can come one by one; I have all the time in the world.”
With the first target dealt with, he would not miss any of the others.
Yun Ye was quite vengeful; if he could, he wanted to smile as he slowly tortured this group of rubbish to death.
He needed to use stealth to eliminate Tong Yuan, but could he not crush a group of ordinary Black Armored Spiritual Law practitioners?
After dealing with Tong Yuan, Yun Ye fully confirmed his own strength. Since he could defeat opponents of the Captain’s level, he could afford to take things more leisurely.
After taking out his manual and contacting Wang Yao, Yun Ye began to search everywhere for Spiritual Herbs, extracting their properties on the spot to accelerate his training.
Herbs that enhanced vitality, strengthened Spirit Sense, and improved body and aptitude…
The Crescent Moon Secret Realm was a treasure trove.
And Yun Ye was an unbound treasure hunter.
His strength surged with the boost in vitality and Spirit Sense, but the accelerated training from the herbs soon hit a ceiling. Yun Ye reached the limits of a mortal.
Even if he consumed vast amounts of Spiritual Herbs, he could not grow further—it was a complete and utter limit.
For the three key Laws—Physical Law, Spirit Sense Law, and Spiritual Roots Law—Yun Ye only had the basic Law.
The government did not provide a means to exchange for advanced “Spiritual Roots Law,” “Physical Law,” or “Spirit Sense Law.”
The noble families were willing to offer them, but it required a lifetime of servitude to even have a chance to earn them through “great contributions.”
Question: What is the salary if the minimum is five thousand and the maximum is twenty thousand?
The answer is obvious.
Anyone with even a little wisdom wouldn’t overestimate human nature.
Throughout history, examples are everywhere; if one only sees the term "cannibalism" as a mere metaphor, encountering it for real would likely lead to dire consequences…
But that was in Baishi Town.
In Baishi Town, Yun Ye found it difficult and worried he might leave behind clues.
However, in the Crescent Moon Secret Realm, Yun Ye had a very simple way to obtain these laws.
Indeed.
With so many noble family members in the Secret Realm, how hard could it be to make them reveal their secrets?
Oh, perhaps they had restrictions from Spirit Law that prevented them from disclosing information themselves, but Yun Ye didn’t mind; Nether Fire was always ready to assist.
Thus, the goals of this Secret Realm journey were clear: first, to take revenge on Shi Baiyan; second, to acquire better laws; and third… the trials of the Gate of Heaven of the Crescent Moon!
Although it was last on the list, Yun Ye returned to Zhu Village immediately after reaching the limits of his cultivation.
The once vibrant Zhu Village was now eerily silent. Yun Ye sighed and observed a moment of silence for the villagers.
Then, he approached the Stone Tablet.
This was the passage for the trials.
He placed his hand on it.
Calming his mind, he repeatedly thought of participating in the trials.
“——”
Soon, it felt as if he pushed open the stone door of a secret chamber, and the outside world’s brightness momentarily dazzled him.
Yun Ye stepped forward into the light, and the scenery underwent an enormous transformation.
A barren wasteland appeared before him.
Compared to Zhu Village’s lush golden fields, this place only held endless desolation, along with broken swords and shattered spears.
Before Yun Ye had time to marvel at the power of this spatial transition, words and sounds began to emerge.
“First challenge, Unmatched and undefeated.”
“Trial Participant: Practitioner at the first stage.”
“Trial content: Defeat all opponents and be the last one standing.”
The trial did not give Yun Ye a chance to prepare.
Ten Blue Lantern Ghosts appeared.
Like phantoms, they carried blue lanterns and locked onto Yun Ye with clear intent.
“Ten of them? This might be troublesome…”
Yun Ye reached for his waist but found nothing.
All his weapons—including the Black Armor, magical tools, and Heavenly Signs—had not come with him to this trial ground.
His expression stiffened, and he could only retreat, grabbing a common iron sword that was stuck in the wasteland.
