Chapter 319: An Invincible Stance!

After speaking, the Azure-Robed Sword Master glanced at Yang Jia, who stood not far away with a pale face, and shook his head with a sigh, “If you’re going to let them grow freely, then do it completely.”

The Mortal Sword Master: “……”

The Azure-Robed Sword Master suddenly appeared before Ye Tianming. Seeing him appear out of nowhere, Ye Tianming was momentarily stunned.

The Azure-Robed Sword Master looked at Ye Tianming, “The bet I made with you earlier — no need to wait three years. Consider it a loss for my Yang family. As for the justice I said I’d give you……”

“Senior!”

Ye Tianming suddenly spoke up, cutting off the azure-robed man’s words, “Do you think I’m trying to bring down the Yang family?”

The azure-robed man looked at Ye Tianming and said nothing.

Ye Tianming said slowly, “The order built by three generations of the Yang family — though it has its flaws, on the whole it is still a very good order. I, Ye Tianming, have never completely rejected this order or your Yang family just because some bad people appeared within it. Of course……”

At that, he glanced at the azure-robed man, “Saying all this now doesn’t mean much. Let’s……wait a little longer.”

Wait a little longer!

Ye Tianming understood clearly that saying anything to the Yang family right now was pointless, because his strength was not yet sufficient to speak with the Yang family as equals.

Wait a little longer.

Wait until the day his strength reached……reached the level of this Azure-Robed Sword Master standing before him — on that day, when he stood before the Yang family, his words, Ye Tianming’s words, would be heard whether they liked it or not.

Reason?

In any world, in any era, reason must be built on a foundation of strength.

The azure-robed man looked at Ye Tianming and smiled, “Good, then I’ll wait a little longer too — wait for the day you stand before me, Yang Ye, and reason with me. Of course, there’s also the duel between us, you’d better hurry it up, haha…..”

With that, he turned and vanished.

The woman in azure and the others glanced at Ye Tianming, then turned and left.

“Hold on!”

Ye Tianming suddenly spoke.

The woman in azure turned to look at Ye Tianming. He looked at her and said, “If the Yang family treats this world well, then even when the Yang family’s era passes, it will live on in people’s hearts forever.”

After a moment of silence, the woman in azure said, “Young Master Ye, people are very forgetful. But none of that matters anymore. What comes next should be your era, Young Master Ye. Congratulations!”

With that, she turned and left.

She knew that after today, no one in this universe could suppress the rise of Ye Tianming.

Soon, the powerful figures of the Guanxuan Universe departed one by one.

Ye Tianming walked up to the Ancient Zhezong and the First Generation Heavenly Court Master and bowed deeply, “Thank you, four seniors, for your help today.”

Ya Shi smiled, “No need for formalities.”

Ye Tianming smiled, “Four seniors, a great kindness needs no words of thanks. In the future, should any of you have any request, just say the word — through mountains of blades and seas of fire, I, Ye Tianming, will not refuse.”

“Really?”

The First Generation Heavenly Court Master suddenly spoke.

Ye Tianming looked at her and nodded, “Of course.”

The First Generation Heavenly Court Master smiled, “Before long, I’ll be heading somewhere, and I’ll truly need your help then.”

Ye Tianming said, “When the time comes, senior, just let me know.”

The First Generation Heavenly Court Master nodded, “Good.”

As she spoke, she glanced at the plain-robed woman standing not far away, then said, “Until we meet again.”

With that, she vanished directly into the depths of the starry river.

Ya Shi beside her also smiled, “Young friend Ye, until we meet again.”

For the Ancient Zhezong, this favor had already been established — there was no rush to collect on it. After all, Ye Tianming’s future was limitless.

At a time like this, building good relations mattered more than anything.

Ye Tianming gave a slight bow, “Until we meet again.”

Ya Shi and the other two departed.

Ye Tianming then made his way to the Ji Clan. The moment he walked over, Ji Dian burst out laughing, “Nice, nice, you’re something else.”

The other Ji Clan members were all smiling too.

This time, the Ji Clan had made out very well.

From now on, anyone who wanted to move against the Ji Clan would have to think twice about Ye Tianming.

Ye Tianming looked at Ji Dian and smiled, “Brother Ji Dian, you and I are brothers — I won’t bother saying thanks.”

Ji Dian laughed heartily, “That’s right, what’s there to thank between brothers? Wouldn’t that just make things awkward?”

The Ji Clan powerhouses in the area looked at Ji Dian with eyes full of admiration.

Damn!

The young master really does see far ahead!

What a big-picture thinker the young master is!

Worthy of being our Ji Clan’s young master.

Our Ji Clan is awesome!

Feeling the gazes of his clansmen behind him, Ji Dian’s smile instantly grew even brighter, and he said directly, “Didn’t you say before that you wanted to compete for the Grand Dao Rankings? Don’t worry, when the time comes my Ji Clan will be your Dao guardians — damn, whatever Dao-Outer Heavenly Demons show up, my Ji Clan will crush them with one hand!”

Ji Clan powerhouses: “???”

Ji Yuan beside him glanced at Ji Dian and shook his head with a smile.

The terror of the Dao-Outer Heavenly Demons

was beyond imagination!

But he didn’t stop him. What was wrong with letting his own son boast a little?

What young person doesn’t boast?

Is someone who doesn’t boast even a young person?

Ye Tianming smiled, then said, “Brother Ji Dian, I’m not that interested in the Grand Dao Rankings anymore. But next time, I can be your Dao guardian!”

Be Ji Dian’s Dao guardian!

Hearing Ye Tianming’s words, the Ji Clan powerhouses in the area immediately grew excited.

Ji Dian was definitely going to take a shot at the Grand Dao Rankings, because even if he didn’t earn its recognition, just walking that path of the Grand Dao would yield tremendous gains — and the further one walked, the greater the gains.

That was why so many geniuses throughout history had gone to challenge the Grand Dao Rankings.

And the Ji Clan also knew full well that with their current strength, facing the Dao-Outer Heavenly Demons in the future would mean fighting with everything they had.

The losses would certainly be enormous!

But now that Ye Tianming had said this……it simply couldn’t feel any better.

When the time came, Ye Tianming could single-handedly guard the Dao for Ji Dian!

In the crowd, the Ji Clan powerhouses all broke into brilliant smiles.

Ji Dian, however, suddenly dropped his smile. He said seriously, “Are you really going to exile yourself?”

Ye Tianming nodded.

Ji Dian glanced at the Xu Tianzhu who was still kneeling not far away, then looked at the plain-robed woman who had been quietly watching Ye Tianming all along, and said, “The way I see it, even without exiling yourself, they wouldn’t dare touch you.”

He paused, then added, “Is it because you don’t want to owe this plain-robed senior a favor?”

Ye Tianming shook his head, “I already owe her a favor.”

He, Ye Tianming, was not the type to be needlessly proud about such things. He also understood clearly that today, if not for this plain-robed……sister’s appearance, he would certainly have been finished.

And the reason he wanted to exile himself

came down to two things.

First,

the Grand Dao Rankings. Never mind that his cultivation wasn’t there yet — even if it were, and even if he reached above the circle-drawing level, he felt he still couldn’t beat the Grand Dao Rankings. Earlier, if not for this plain-robed sister, he might have been killed outright by the Grand Dao Rankings.

Second, he needed to temper his mortal body. His biggest problem right now was that his physical body couldn’t bear so much faith power — he had to elevate his body once more.

Transcending the mortal body was his current goal.

Of course, most importantly, he felt it was time to settle and consolidate.

What he needed to do now was suppress himself, and also restrict himself — restrict the Myriad Beings Rankings.

Ji Dian suddenly said, “Alright, I know you have a sense of proportion, so I won’t say more. Just take good care of yourself.”

Ye Tianming nodded, “Of course.”

Ji Dian smiled, “Come visit the Ji Clan sometime!”

Ye Tianming smiled, “Definitely!”

Ji Dian waved his hand, then led the Ji Clan powerhouses away.

Ye Tianming then looked toward the Yao Clan’s Grand Shaman and the Northern Zhao Emperor. The Northern Zhao Emperor smiled, “Young Master Ye, congratulations.”

She was naturally pleased as well.

Because of this great gamble, her Great Qian Empire had won.

The Grand Shaman was also smiling. Ye Tianming was now at the quasi-circle-drawing level and above, with limitless potential.

From now on, anyone who wanted to move against the Savage Yao Clan would have to think carefully too.

Ye Tianming smiled, “To you both, thank you.”

The Northern Zhao Emperor said, “Young Master Ye, I’d like to promote the Myriad Beings Code in my Great Qian Empire as well — you don’t mind, do you?”

Ye Tianming smiled, “Of course not.”

The Northern Zhao Emperor smiled, “Young Master Ye, until we meet again.”

With that, she led the Great Qian Empire’s powerhouses away.

The Savage Yao Clan’s Grand Shaman also looked at Ye Tianming, “Young Master Ye, until we meet again.”

With that, she led the Yao Clan’s powerhouses away.

The good karma sown today would surely bear good fruit in the future.

After everyone had left, the entire divine battlefield fell quiet. Ye Tianming suddenly looked toward the sky, where a woman stood.

It was that young lady called Yinian.

Ye Tianming smiled, “Senior, thank you.”

Yinian smiled, “You can call me Sister Yinian.”

Ye Tianming: “……”

Yinian suddenly walked up to the plain-robed woman and gently nestled into her arms, “Auntie……”

The plain-robed woman did not pull away. She gently stroked Yinian’s hair.

Yinian turned her head and glanced at Ye Tianming not far away, smiling, “He’s very impressive.”

A faint smile crossed the plain-robed woman’s face, but it vanished in an instant.

Yinian waved her hand, “Auntie, little Tianming, I’ve got things to take care of.”

With that, she turned and transformed into a streak of blood-red light, disappearing at the far end of the starry river.

Ye Tianming smiled and waved. He had a very good impression of this young lady Yinian.

Just then.

A sword cry suddenly rang out across the heavens.

The next moment, a streak of sword light fell straight down from the sky.

Ye Tianming looked up at the sword light, his expression grave.

What a terrifying sword aura!

The sword light dispersed, and a female sword cultivator in a cloud-white robe slowly stepped forward.

Her gaze fell directly on Ye Tianming, “The Myriad Beings Rankings……”

She looked him over, “You now have the qualifications to be my, Wei Yang Xiu’s, opponent. I’ll give you time.”

With that, she turned to leave.

“Wait!”

Ye Tianming suddenly spoke.

The woman stopped. She turned to look at Ye Tianming. He stared at her and said, “You’re not necessarily qualified to be my opponent!”

The woman’s eyes narrowed slightly. In an instant, a surge of sword intent enveloped the entire sky and earth.

An invincible presence!

Dominating all!
