Upon hearing the question, Huang Yu immediately replied, “Senior Pei Yuanze has long since passed away through sitting meditation.”
Sitting meditation!
Ye Wushuang’s action of eating roasted meat suddenly paused, but he quickly regained his composure and indifferently asked, “How did he die?”
Huang Yu sighed and said, “Senior Pei Yuanze was also the most outstanding figure in the Pei family for nearly ten thousand years. It is said that in his attempt to break through and advance further, he ended up suffering from a spiritual mishap and died at the critical point of becoming a Pre-Heaven Saint.”
” ‘It is said’?” Ye Wushuang casually inquired.
“Many senior figures witnessed it at the time. I’ve only heard about it, but there are plenty of people who can testify!” Huang Yu continued, “In fact, Senior Pei Yuanze was already at the peak of the Post-Heaven Saint level back then. If he had truly broken through to the Pre-Heaven Saint level, then… the current royal family of the Tianhuang Continent might not be the Huang family, but the Pei family.”
Ye Wushuang murmured, “He was indeed a very determined person.”
Inside the cave, the two fell silent once again.
Huang Yu broke the silence and said, “Over these years, the Lingjian Pavilion of the Tianyuan Continent has had close ties with the Shi and Shu families of the Tianhuang Continent. Bu Baiyi is on the Tianhuang Continent, and I’m not sure what plans the two sides have made.”
“However, it is highly likely that the Shi and Shu families are helping the Lingjian Pavilion to unify the Tianyuan Continent, while the Lingjian Pavilion is assisting them in overthrowing our Tianhuang Empire.”
“But specifically, how they will do it, I don’t know.”
Huang Yu looked at Ye Wushuang and couldn’t help but say, “Actually, they have their cooperation, and we can also establish a partnership!”
“Although the Shengtian Sect has just been established, Yin Shenghao, Su Chenyang, and Si Luoyi have considerable influence. There are many people from the Lingjian Pavilion who were once loyal to Ling Shengtian, as well as warriors who have received favors from these three individuals.”
“As far as I know, Yin Shenghao and the others have already recruited at least a dozen Star-Picking Realm cultivators and hundreds of Self-Forgetting Realm individuals to join the Shengtian Sect. Now, the Shengtian Sect is no longer an obscure force but a significant power!”
“Brother, your Self-Forgetting Realm strength has proven your exceptional talent by successfully ambushing Shi Chen’an, and your daring actions have demonstrated your extraordinary courage. In the Shengtian Sect, you are definitely not an ordinary person!”
Ye Wushuang glanced at Huang Yu and softly said, “Since you have already guessed who I am, there is no need to beat around the bush.”
Huang Yu awkwardly laughed and said, “Ye Wushuang, it really is you.”
Ye Wushuang did not deny it.
Huang Yu continued, “I know that those three key figures of the Shengtian Sect care a lot about you. If you are willing to facilitate a cooperation between our Tianhuang Empire and the Shengtian Sect, it would be a great situation for both of us!”
Ye Wushuang indifferently said, “Your Tianhuang Empire is not even united internally. Do you want me to walk into a death trap?”
“Uh…”
Huang Yu awkwardly laughed again.
“Alright, you stay here and recover well. I’ve left some spiritual liquids and pills. Follow my instructions for taking them, and your injuries will be fully healed in no more than ten days,” Ye Wushuang said as he stood up. “I’ve set up an illusionary array around this cave. Ordinary people won’t be able to break in. Rest easy and focus on your recovery.”
“Brother Ye…”
“Who said you can call me brother?” Ye Wushuang retorted.
“Even your ancestor Huang Chongtian never called me brother. He always respectfully addressed me as ‘Mr. Bai.’ How dare you call me brother?”
Huang Yu clasped his hands and said, “Thank you, Young Master Ye, for your rescue. I, Huang Yu, will surely repay this kindness.”
Ye Wushuang waved his hand and left the cave.
The night was as still as water.
In the quiet forest, the occasional roar of wild beasts sent shivers down one’s spine.
Ye Wushuang stood on the peak of a mountain, looking around.
“Begu, Chongtian, Yuanze… thousands of years have passed in the blink of an eye. I’m back, but where are you all…?”
A murmur could not express the complexity of Ye Wushuang’s emotions.
Inside the virtual land.
There were extraordinary things everywhere. Some were dangers and crises, but many people also reaped great benefits.
Ye Wushuang was more accustomed to acting alone. Although there were times when he was not strong enough, wandering alone was more unrestrained.
In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.
On this day.
In a desolate mountainous area.
A loud roar echoed.
A mutated wild boar, with a towering body five zhang tall, crashed to the ground.
The boar’s entire body was covered with dozens of sword marks, some of which were so deep that they revealed the bone, with flesh and blood churning.
A figure in white slowly landed at this moment, walked up to the wild boar, and said with a smile, “I wonder if your meat is succulent.”
The figure in white quickly cut off all the hind leg meat of the wild boar, set up a bonfire, and soon the crackling sound rang out, with the aroma of roasted meat quickly spreading.
This person was none other than Ye Wushuang.
Tearing off a piece of roasted meat, Ye Wushuang took a bite and found the taste exquisite.
Not to mention that Ye Wushuang’s previous life as the Heavenly Emperor had experienced countless dangers and had lived in the wild for many years, but with the nine souls having gone through nine lifetimes, Ye Wushuang, with his soul and experiences merged as one, possessed the combined wilderness survival skills of all ten lifetimes.
Roasting meat was just the simplest of tasks.
“Now that I’ve reached the Sixth Tribulation Realm, and the Sevenfold Saintly Physique Technique has also reached the sixth level of body patterns,” Ye Wushuang muttered to himself.
“With the defense and offense of the Sevenfold Saintly Physique Technique, combined with the Perfect Sword Momentum, and supplemented by the Nine Heavens Mystical Fire Sword Technique, I can now easily defeat a typical early Star-Picking Realm cultivator without much trouble.”
“If I also use the changes and enhancements from the Ninefold Primordial Thunder Decree and the Ethereal Spiritual Sword Qi, I can even take on mid-Star-Picking Realm cultivators!”
Ye Wushuang was quite satisfied with his own progress.
In this life, starting from scratch, he had extremely strict requirements and principles for his own cultivation advancement.
Now, step by step, he had reached the Sixth Tribulation of the Self-Forgetting Realm, and the Star-Picking Realm was already within reach!
He aimed to reach the Star-Picking Realm within this virtual land, so that he could play a role in the upcoming decisive battle between the Lingjian Pavilion and the Shengtian Sect!
With this thought in mind, Ye Wushuang’s eyes took on a more determined look.
Boom…
Just as Ye Wushuang was sitting in a mountain hollow, contemplating his next path of improvement, a deafening roar echoed from about ten miles away.
Even from such a distance, the ground beneath Ye Wushuang’s feet trembled violently, with cracks appearing in the soil.
In an instant, Ye Wushuang leaped several times and stood on the peak of a mountain hundreds of zhang high, looking curiously into the distance.
What had happened?
