Chapter 6: Tower Ancestor, Do You Know the Observing Mystery Sword Master?
Observing Xuan Path Activated!
When Elder Yu saw Ye Tianming in the distance, wrapped in golden light, his face instantly became extremely unpleasant. He never imagined that Ye Tianming would attempt to challenge the Observing Xuan Path.
Observing Xuan Path.
Regardless of whether Ye Tianming could pass the Observing Xuan Path, once it was activated, it meant someone had experienced injustice in the academy. This would undoubtedly be a huge negative impact on the academy and would seriously affect their political futures.
If the challenger successfully passed the Observing Xuan Path… then it would be over. Qingzhou would immediately enter a self-examination procedure, and the outer cabinet of the Observing Xuan Realm would immediately intervene in Qingzhou.
Thinking of this, Elder Yu’s face suddenly turned pale, because he realized one thing: regardless of whether Ye Tianming passed the Observing Xuan Path or not, he, Yu Lian, would likely never be able to enter the outer cabinet of the Observing Xuan Realm in this lifetime.
His political future was completely ruined.
With this thought, murderous intent immediately rose in his heart, the killing intent in his eyes becoming almost tangible.
Beside him, Xiao Nu also hadn’t expected that Ye Tianming would challenge the Observing Xuan Path, but soon, he began to sneer. Because the Observing Xuan Path wasn’t something an ordinary person could pass. Inside the Observing Xuan Path, there were three tests personally left by the Observing Xuan Sword Master: Battle, Politics, and Heart Questioning.
When the Observing Xuan Sword Master first created the Observing Xuan Path, countless challengers came forward, all wanting to leave their names in history. But just the first test, Battle, eliminated 99 percent of people.
The first test was brutal: challengers had to defeat ten strong opponents of the same realm as themselves, and these opponents had no weaknesses whatsoever.
Most importantly, if you failed, you would die. You would truly die.
As for the second test, Politics, and the third test, Heart Questioning, no one knew their contents. In a thousand years, only the one person who truly passed knew the real content of the latter two tests.
The news of the Observing Xuan Path being reactivated quickly spread throughout Wan Prefecture. Thanks to the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, the Observing Xuan universe was now highly technologically advanced, so all academies across Wan Prefecture began simultaneous broadcasts.
In Qingzhou City, all members of the Ye family suddenly rushed out of the Ye family mansion, heading straight for the Immortal Treasure Pavilion square. By now, tens of thousands of people had gathered in the square, with more arriving constantly. Above the great hall of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, a huge light screen hung in the air, showing Ye Tianming standing on the Observing Xuan Path.
“Brother Tianming!”
Among the Ye family crowd, Ye Zong suddenly excitedly waved his fist, shouting loudly. Beside him, the other Ye family members also excitedly waved their hands.
Only Ye Nan’s eyes revealed gravity and concern, because he knew that Ye Tianming challenging the Observing Xuan Path meant he had encountered injustice in the academy.
Just then, a steward from the Immortal Treasure Pavilion suddenly stepped forward, “Everyone, to stay here and watch, each person needs to pay three spirit crystals…”
As soon as these words were spoken, chaos erupted.
Someone immediately questioned, “It’s always been free before, why charge money today?”
The Immortal Treasure Pavilion steward looked at the questioner and smiled, “What’s your name? Where do you live?”
That person: “……”
Everyone: “……”
The Immortal Treasure Pavilion steward continued, “Don’t worry, we’re not taking money for nothing. Our Immortal Treasure Pavilion provides free water for everyone… Drink as much as you want, there’s plenty.”
People were angry but dared not speak out.
Somewhere in the shadows, a woman in blue clothing took out a notebook and began to record: Observing Xuan Era Year 1… April 12th, afternoon, Immortal Treasure Pavilion’s chief steward illegally collected spirit crystals, causing public outrage.
At the Qingzhou Observing Xuan Academy, many students had also gathered in front of the testing hall. It was now packed with people, all watching Ye Tianming walking on the Observing Xuan Path with curious eyes.
Ye Tianming walked toward the entrance of the great hall, his gaze determined, ready to face death.
It wasn’t that he wanted to challenge the Observing Xuan Path, but he knew he had no other options. He could see that the academy elder and the people from the Xiao family had murderous intentions toward him. If he went with that Master Fang, he might implicate him and cause him to lose his life.
The two of them wouldn’t be able to reach the Observing Xuan Realm, so his only path was to challenge the Observing Xuan Path.
Ye Tianming slowly walked toward the entrance and softly asked, “Tower Ancestor, do you know the Observing Xuan Sword Master?”
The small tower blurted out, “This diaomao……”
After speaking, it realized something and quickly stopped.
Ye Tianming looked puzzled, “Diaomao?”
Although he had read many books from the Milky Way, he still didn’t understand these two characters.
The small tower explained, “In my hometown, it’s a compliment.”
Afraid that Ye Tianming would dwell on this issue, the small tower hurriedly said, “The Observing Xuan Sword Master is world-renowned, how could I not know him? I’m more curious about what you would say to him if you really met him inside.”
Ye Tianming said softly, “I want to ask him if he knows how dark this world has become.”
The small tower fell silent.
Ye Tianming stepped through the door and instantly appeared in a void of space and time. In front of him, ten shadowy figures suddenly condensed, each one at the Wan Fa Realm, and without any weaknesses.
Ye Tianming looked at the ten shadowy figures and felt the pressure.
The small tower asked curiously, “How will you defeat them?”
Even it couldn’t see any chance for Ye Tianming to win without using the Path Sword, because the ten shadowy figures’ strength was completely copied one-to-one according to Ye Tianming’s realm and strength.
Ten against one!
No chance at all.
And this guy still didn’t know the true power of the Path Sword.
Ye Tianming looked at the ten shadowy figures in the distance without speaking.
Boom!
At this moment, the ten shadowy figures suddenly spread their hands, and twenty divine thunderbolts fell straight from the sky into their palms. Powerful thunder aura immediately spread throughout the field.
Ye Tianming suddenly activated his cultivation technique, “Tianming Decision.” In an instant, endless spiritual energy surged from heaven and earth, entering his body. His aura instantly surged, and simultaneously, dozens of lightning bolts condensed above his head.
The small tower exclaimed in shock, “You want to force a breakthrough… are you crazy?”
Ye Tianming’s eyes showed only determination. At this point, he had to burn his bridges to have any chance.
In the Small Tribulation Realm, one could use heavenly thunder to temper one’s physical body, making it crystalline like glass, able to resist general spells, divine abilities, and natural forces.
Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult for him to reach the Small Tribulation Realm because he had no way to gather so much tribulation thunder to temper his physical body. But now… these Wan Fa Realm experts could all use divine thunder!
He wanted to use the divine thunder from these ten Wan Fa Realm experts to temper his physical body. If he could break through his bottleneck and reach the Small Tribulation Realm with the help of this lightning, he would be able to steadily suppress these Wan Fa Realm experts. Of course, if he failed, he would perish.
Besides this, he also wanted to see if his “Tianming Decision” could devour energies other than spiritual energy.
The ten Wan Fa Realm experts suddenly attacked, twenty lightning bolts striking toward Ye Tianming simultaneously. The terrifying thunder aura gathered together, pressing down on Ye Tianming until he could barely breathe.
Ye Tianming activated his mental technique again, and at the same time, streams of spiritual energy appeared on his body, covering his physical form.
In an instant, he was engulfed by countless lightning bolts.
Boom!
The area where Ye Tianming stood directly became a region of lightning… and soon, the lightning began to disappear bit by bit.
It was being devoured!
Ye Tianming suddenly burst into laughter because he discovered that his “Tianming Decision” could indeed devour this lightning energy. Although it was slow and could only devour fifty percent of the energy, with the remaining energy harming his body, for him, this was already a great unexpected joy.
Because of his cultivation technique, when the divine thunder struck his body, half was devoured and absorbed by him, and half tempered his physical body. Thus, his physical body began to transform under the tempering of the divine thunder, and his aura grew stronger.
In the distance, the ten shadowy figures seemed to notice this as well. Although they were all copies without true intelligence, they had combat awareness. When they sensed something was wrong, they all charged toward Ye Tianming, lightning flashing.
As Wan Fa Realm experts, they could master spells and divine abilities, and borrow natural forces such as heavenly thunder. But the problem was, they were all copied according to Ye Tianming’s abilities, and Ye Tianming didn’t know any spells or divine abilities; he only knew how to control thunder.
Seeing the ten Wan Fa Realm experts charging toward him, Ye Tianming didn’t confront them head-on but retreated while fighting and absorbing.
Bang bang bang!
Ye Tianming couldn’t win, but because he could absorb lightning energy, the lightning power of the ten Wan Fa Realm experts was directly halved when it approached him. Because of this, although the ten Wan Fa Realm experts suppressed Ye Tianming, they couldn’t kill him.
Moreover, as Ye Tianming’s physical body absorbed more and more lightning power, it began to undergo qualitative changes. On his skin, dense points of lightning appeared, fusing with his flesh and blood.
After an unknown amount of time—
Boom!
Suddenly, a powerful aura erupted from Ye Tianming’s body. His physical form was crystalline like glass, incredibly powerful.
Small Tribulation Realm!
Ye Tianming laughed heartily and waved his sleeve.
Bang!
Two shadowy figures were directly sent flying by a powerful physical force, and at the same time, the lightning power of those Wan Fa Realm experts could no longer harm him.
Small Tribulation Realm!
Physical body crystalline like glass, able to resist general spells, divine abilities, and natural forces.
But at this moment, the aura of the ten shadowy figures in the distance suddenly surged, about to reach the Small Tribulation Realm in the blink of an eye.
Ye Tianming’s expression instantly froze.
