True Martial World - Chapter 923: Felicitous Rain Lord

Sitting in the hall, Yi Yun could sense Emperor Luo's commanding gaze sweep across all of them.

"In order to resist the Fey Phantasm Sect, all of our factions will form an alliance from today henceforth! The various Fey empire's strength will be united so we can fight against the Fey Phantasm Sect." Emperor Luo said.

With the Fey Phantasm Sect's forces growing stronger, the number of factions that were threatened by the Fey Phantasm Sect would increase as well. Now, the Fey Phantasm Sect was making a comeback, and the Fey Phantasm Sect had a Divine Lord in it. If these factions did not form an alliance, they would probably be destroyed one after another.

However, could an alliance alone gain victory over the Fey Phantasm Sect?

"The various Fey empires have reclusive Elders and hidden techniques. It is no different for our Luo clan. It won't be so easy for us to be taken down." Luo Huo'er's voice transmission echoed in Yi Yun's ears.

However, she had a rare sense of seriousness in her expression.

Back then, the Fey Phantasm Sect did not have a Divine Lord and the Luo clan nearly suffered annihilation. This time…

Emperor Luo continued, "After the alliance is established, the Cloud Trail Empire will offer an ancient array formation, named the Ten Thousand Fey God-slaying Array. This array is no trifling matter. Back in ancient times, it is said that more than ten thousand mighty figures of the Fey race in the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven formed this large formation to slay the Ancestor Gods. That was how the array got its name. The Cloud Trail Empire has obtained it, but even though it is just a replica of the Ten Thousand Fey God-slaying Array created in ancient times, it is still extremely impressive!" Emperor Luo said, "This Ten Thousand Fey God-slaying Array replica will have a Divine Lord at its core, with other positions allocated to Supremacies to preside over it. The entire array will have more than ten thousand people powering it."

Divine Lord?

Upon hearing Emperor Luo's words, the crowd was stunned. When did their alliance have a Divine Lord!?

Be it the Luo clan or the White Fox clan, none of them had Divine Lords. If there was a Divine Lord holding down the situation, there would probably be no fear of the Fey Phantasm Sect.

Emperor Luo continued, "The activation of the Ten Thousand Fey God-slaying Array is extremely draining on the people presiding over it, so it will be the last measure against Ji Wuhen, used only as a last resort. It's one of the means that will not be used unless its necessary."

Having the Ten Thousand Fey God-slaying Array as a trump card, it made most of the disciples present heave a sigh of relief. Even without a Divine Lord, it was most likely still possible to barely use the array formation?

However, would a castrated array formation that lacked a Divine Lord presiding over it truly be able to withstand the Fey Phantasm Sect?

However, Emperor Luo had mentioned just one of their means, so there was likely other corresponding solutions.

The lofty important figures had discussed it behind closed doors, so it was unlikely that they would reveal everything to these disciples.

"This array formation also requires a large number of Dao Manifestation and Heaven Ascension realm warriors. In the future, you might be selected to partake in this array formation." Emperor Luo said.

Selected to partake in the array formation?

Being able to fight alongside Supremacies and these mighty figures was an absolutely perfect opportunity for many people present.

And with danger at hand, they had to rise up as warriors. Many disciples could not help but reveal a look of anticipation.

Yi Yun was silent. It was most likely very dangerous for lower-level disciples to participate in combat at that level. However, with him now being a member of the Luo clan, there was no way for him to avoid it. If he wanted to ensure his well-being during the war, he had to quickly improve his strength.

"There is another matter to be announced." Emperor Luo switched gears and looked at someone from the Oracle Fey Kingdom. "Brother Tianfeng, why don't you tell us about it?"

Emperor Luo's extremely polite tone surprised Yi Yun slightly. The people that came from the various factions were only ambassadors. None of the sovereigns themselves came.

Emperor Luo's status was arguably the highest, but now, with Emperor Luo addressing the person as ’Brother Tianfeng’, it was apparent that something was different. Furthermore, the person's position in the hall was most prominent, with him being just beside Emperor Luo.

"Alright." Yu Tianfeng tersely responded and he had a harsh expression. His gaze swept across everyone as he calmly said, "Most of you probably know that the person truly presiding over my Oracle Fey Kingdom is the Oracle Imperial Patriarch. In his youth, Imperial Patriarch toured the world and he had the privilege to befriend a Divine Lord. Back then, the esteemed Divine Lord's strength was similar to Imperial Patriarch's, and through the machinations of fate, the esteemed Divine Lord owed a favor to Imperial Patriarch. After he became a Divine Lord, he remembered this favor and he promised to help out when the Oracle Fey Kingdom is ever in danger but only once!"

"Most of you should have heard of this Divine Lord's title. He is Felicitous Rain Lord."

Just as Yu Tianfeng's voice faded, the young disciples present were left stunned.

A Divine Lord was indebted to the Imperial Patriarch of the Oracle Fey Kingdom?

This was no trifling matter!

At the cultivation level of a Divine Lord, it was atypical to be indebted to others as it tainted their karma. If a Divine Lord were to help the Oracle Fey Kingdom, the position that the Oracle Fey Kingdom enjoyed in the alliance would be completely different. It was no wonder that Emperor Luo was so courteous to Yu Tianfeng, who was just an ambassador!

"Felicitous Rain Lord?" Yi Yun asked with a voice transmission.

Luo Huo'er answered, "Felicitous Rain Lord is a rather young Divine Lord in the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven. He became a Divine Lord tens of thousands of years ago. The sect that he was in was destroyed before he attained the rank of Divine Lord. Now, he is touring the cosmos and he does not belong to any faction. He is a wandering Divine Lord, but it is precisely because of this that his fame is exuded."

Yi Yun nodded. He had seen the Azure Yang Lord's memories, and the Azure Yang Lord had also established an empire.

By running a faction, it was more convenient for one's cultivation. It also allowed one to acquire more power. A wandering Divine Lord sounded free, but by being a lone person, it was easier for others to challenge them.

"After Felicitous Rain Lord became a Divine Lord, he was constantly challenged, but it has reduced a lot in recent years. The reason is none other than those who challenged him never returned." Luo Huo'er said.

Yi Yun's questions were clarified. A Divine Lord, especially one that was reigning high, allowed the Oracle Fey Kingdom to ascend higher than the other factions in the alliance because of his debt. It made the Oracle Fey Kingdom a supernatural existence in the alliance.

It could even be said that the entire alliance would be led by the Oracle Fey Kingdom. These ambassadors that had gathered in the Luo clan royal capital were not here to negotiate the matters of the alliance with Emperor Luo, but they were mainly responsible for the passing of messages.

With the threat of the Fey Phantasm Sect, Emperor Luo would not refuse any condition unless they were too punitive.

When Yi Yun understood this point, he finally understood why Yu Tianfeng sounded so proud.

Just being the receiver of a debt of a Divine Lord gave them such value, so if it was the Divine Lord himself…

Upon thinking about this, Yi Yun felt extremely wistful. The 12 Empyrean Heavens was a world where strength was supreme. Becoming a Divine Lord was extremely glorious in the 12 Empyrean Heavens!

At that moment, Yu Tianfeng added, "This is not the only news regarding Felicitous Rain Lord. What shall follow is information that has much to do with all of you!"

When Yu Tianfeng said this, everyone pricked up their ears. Has much to do with them?

"Felicitous Rain Lord has been touring my Oracle Fey Kingdom recently. When Felicitous Rain Lord met Imperial Patriarch, he mentioned his intentions of taking in a disciple. Felicitous Rain Lord might choose one disciple from our alliance! The Imperial Patriarch ordered us to inform you all of the intentions of Felicitous Rain Lord. This is a great opportunity for all of you." Yu Tianfeng said this sentence rather grudgingly.

He actually felt that Felicitous Rain Lord could have chosen a disciple from the Oracle Fey Kingdom itself. As the saying went, keep the benefits within the family, but Felicitous Rain Lord insisted on spreading a wider net for his selection.

When the young elites present heard this news, it was as though a burning meteorite had hit a calm water surface!

A Divine Lord was accepting a disciple!?

Many disciples immediately turned excited!

What did it mean to become a disciple of a Divine Lord?

As long as one became the disciple of a Divine Lord, that was truly a single leap into success! Regardless if you were a Supremacy's disciple or an heir to the throne, they were nothing comparable. And as for the lesser status of being a disciple of a large family clan, they were equivalent to shit in front of of a Divine Lord's disciple.

Without a doubt, as long as they became a disciple of a Divine Lord, they would become the best amongst the younger generation of all the factions present. Even the emperor of the faction that the person resided in had to treat the Divine Lord’s disciple politely as a guest.

A Divine Lord controlled a great deal of resources. Even a tiny bit that leaked out of his fingers would benefit them all their lives!

Even Yi Yun was tempted. There were too many benefits to becoming a Divine Lord's disciple. Even the Fey Phantasm Sect probably did not dare to kill a Divine Lord's disciple without any thought.

True Martial World - Chapter 922: Summoning

When the doors to the Luo clan's royal palace was fully opened, a Fey Demon with a large head walked out and swept his gaze over the crowd in the pavilions.

"His Majesty summons you." His voice was deep and dull, like it was thunder ringing in their ears.

The crowd stood up rapidly.

It was rather rare for Emperor Luo, who supposedly held the highest power in the Luo clan, to summon others.

"Let's go." Prince Crimson Firmament stood up. With the goal of being the next emperor of the Luo clan, he was first to walk in front. Bai Yueqing, Princess White Fox, and other prominent figures walked alongside him. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

"Little Yun, let's go as well." Luo Huo'er sneered and she took Yi Yun to walk right in front.

She was a princess, so there was certainly no one who would stop her. As for Yi Yun, who was walking beside her, he was in the first row like the other regal progeny.

Even Chu Yunjian was behind him.

Yi Yun's figure was rather striking in that group of people.

"Yi Yun is really composed." Luo Mo said with a wry smile.

Prince Crimson Firmament had verbally humiliated Yi Yun, but Yi Yun had no intention of entering any contention with him, nor was he afraid.

Prince Crimson Firmament enjoyed a high standing, so much so that numerous people treated him with reverence and fear, yet Yi Yun did not care at all.

The hall of the royal palace was extremely grand. When the group of people walked in, they felt like they were standing in a boundless square.

The walls were thick and tall. There were towering pillars that reached high up into a cloudy mist. The thickness of the pillars was probably the combined arm span of seven or eight people. The roof was very wide, with exquisite murals of gods and demons painted on the dome.

The moment that Yi Yun entered, he sensed a terrifying aura spreading from the top of the pillars. Looking up, he saw a person sitting on each pillar.

These people were shrouded by the mist, preventing others from seeing their faces.

Yi Yun looked up and he sensed someone glancing down from the top.

He immediately felt like he was being stared by a real primordial Ancient Fey.

Just a simple gaze from that person overlooking them made the disciples silent.

There was a tall and large misty platform in front of them, with a gorgeous regal seat that could fit dozens of people. In the middle of that seat sat an extremely large figure dressed in dragon robes.

"Greetings Father Emperor, my respects to all esteemed ambassadors."

Prince Crimson Firmament took the lead to bow. As juniors, they were ineligible to sit on the misty pillars, so they could only sit on golden lotus seats on the two sides of the hall.

There were probably thousands of golden lotus seats, so if the hall was filled with elites from everywhere, it was unknown how spectacular the scene would be.

"The last time that there were ambassadors from other factions here was when I was one." Luo Huo'er transmitted her voice to Yi Yun.

The corner of Yi Yun's lips moved. Luo Huo'er was evidently rather proud about this.

However, this also indicated how outstanding Luo Huo'er's talent was. If not, there would not be ambassadors coming to participate in the celebrations. She would not have become Prince Crimson Firmament’s competitor as well, considering her personality.

Having the top talent in the warrior's world indicated that one would obtain greater achievements, and strength was very important.

Everyone sat down, with many sitting in a very formal and restrained manner. Even Luo Huo'er only looked ahead.

The figure on the regal seat spoke. His voice was extremely commanding, with a hint of lethargy in it.

"The young disciples have arrived. Duke Wuxiao, please repeat what you had just mentioned." Emperor Luo slowly said.

His voice was not loud, but it gave people the feeling that they had to listen.

"Alright." A male hoarse voice came from one of the pillars.

Yi Yun looked over, and Duke Wuxiao was sitting opposite him. He was a red-clothed man who was hidden in the mist, and behind his back was a pair of gigantic wings.

"I'll not beat about the bush. All of you present, the disciples of the White Fox and Luo clan have been undergoing training trials for the past eighteen years. Those who are qualified to come here are those who have passed the trials. As for young elites of the other factions, they are also rushing to the Luo clan's royal capital now. However, the disciples of my Cloud Trail Empire will not be coming."

"They were not much different to you all, but… they all died during our trials!" When Duke Wuxiao said this, his tone turned heavy.

The disciples in the hall were alarmed. The dead Cloud Trail Empire disciples were geniuses who participated in the trials just like they did. How did they all die?

"It was the Fey Phantasm Sect!" Duke Wuxiao's tone had a lingering hatred. "They attacked our spirit cruiser on the disciples’ return trip. All the talented disciples were taken away by the Fey Phantasm Sect. Their outcome was extremely terrible!"

Fey Phantasm Sect!

Yi Yun thought for a moment. Wasn't that the sect that nearly destroyed the Luo clan?

Back then, it had entered a huge war with the Luo clan, causing the Luo clan to experience a shortage of geniuses. Furthermore, Yi Yun knew that the Fey Phantasm Sect from before had gone to war with several other factions.

Yi Yun did not know the purpose of the Fey Phantasm Sect waging war. Was it just for the plundering of resources?

He could not help but ask Luo Huo'er through a voice transmission, "Why is the Fey Phantasm Sect offending so many factions at the same time? Even if it's powerful, there's no need for it to frequently wage war. Isn't it afraid that it will weaken its strength?"

After Yi Yun asked this question, he saw what was a rare tinge of hatred appear on Luo Huo'er's face.

"The Fey Phantasm Sect is only eager to wage war. The more war there is, the stronger it becomes."

"The Fey Phantasm Sect specializes in the refinement of puppets and Fey corpses for sale. In the 12 Empyrean Heavens, there are various species. Some species do not have strong physiques, such as humans. Their physical bodies are weak. Some mighty human figures might have their bodies destroyed in battle. They could then find a powerful body of a member of the Fey race to possess. And this would be when they would patronize the Fey Phantasm Sect."

"Through such methods, the Fey Phantasm Sect accumulates a great deal of resources and wealth through the other Empyrean Heavens. They have already become a cancer of the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven and they are extremely infamous.

Sale of puppets and corpses?

Yi Yun was surprised. This business was truly vicious. No wonder they had plundered the geniuses of the Cloud Trail Empire, probably using them to make Fey corpses!

The Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven's Fey race was well known for its strong physiques. There was probably a lot of buyers from other Empyrean Heavens that were interested in this. It was truly a windfall.

And in order to gain these Fey race bodies, a war had to be waged so as to plunder the population.

Yi Yun said, "By doing this, isn't the Fey Phantasm Sect being the enemy of everyone? If this goes on, wouldn't the large factions of the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven annihilate the Fey Phantasm Sect sooner or later?"

Luo Huo'er shook her head slightly. "It's not that easy. The Fey Phantasm Sect is powerful to begin with. Furthermore, their headquarters is in the Sinkhole. The Sinkhole is boundless, and the space in it is complex and filled with disorder. It's very difficult to annihilate them!"

Duke Wuxiao from the Cloud Trail Empire felt the pinch in his heart when he said this, "Those geniuses were nurtured at great cost by the Cloud Trail Empire. They were the disciples that stood out from millions of disciples. However, they ended up being refined into Fey corpses alive, while we also lost an extremely valuable spirit cruiser."

Duke Wuxiao was filled with boundless hatred!

At that moment, Emperor Luo sighed and said, "The Fey Phantasm Sect's Grand Elder, Ji Wuhen, has already obtained a Divine Lord Royal Seal, becoming a Divine Lord."

What!?

The elites present were horrified.

The ambassadors of the other factions like Duke Wuxiao clearly knew about this, but when they heard Emperor Luo say it again, they could only shake their heads.

Divine Lord!

Yi Yun was alarmed.

He recalled the Azure Yang Lord, who was once a Divine Lord.

Divine Lords represented strength and status in the 12 Empyrean Heavens.

Even after he was severely injured, he was still able to traverse the Universe, and managed to create the 'Great Empress Heart Sutra' with the Great Empress.

Even a treasure like the God Advent Tower was just one of his many treasures.

The Fey Phantasm Sect actually had one Divine Lord?

"Ji Wuhen has great ambitions. Having become a Divine Lord and him in control of the Fey Phantasm Sect, he has unified many of the smaller factions in the Sinkhole. There is almost nothing that can stop the Fey Phantasm Sect from its expansion." Emperor Luo said.

Upon hearing this, the young disciples, who were excited from being summoned, felt like they were struck by lightning!

There was no certainty when they would be plundered by the Fey Phantasm Sect and transformed into Fey corpses for the possession of others!

Yi Yun frowned slightly and he was considered rather calm.

Although the Fey Phantasm Sect was terrifying, there was likely counter measures against the crisis to be announced by having all these factions gathered here and younger disciples being summoned.

True Martial World - Chapter 921: Chu Yunjian

Prince Crimson Firmament was clearly refusing to agree that Luo Huo'er had won.

Although everyone knew this, what he said was something that many of the White Fox disciples agreed with. Even if bloodline was not mentioned, just based on strength alone, Yi Yun lacked the advantage. Yi Yun had used a mystic technique to defeat the fifth Ancient Fey. It was not Yi Yun being powerful, but the mystic technique being powerful.

As for Princess White Fox, she had used her own abilities to slay the sixth Ancient Fey.

Offensive mystic techniques had wondrous effects, but they were like weapons. They were considered to be foreign objects. At an even higher realm, there was even a need for change. What truly was powerful was a warrior's nomological insight and their cultivation realm.

"Princess, let's go. There's nothing to dispute about this." Yi Yun said to Luo Huo'er.

He did not care about the outcome. So what if his strength was recognized by the White Fox clan or not?

As for accompanying Princess White Fox on her tour, that was something that he was even more disinterested in. Lin Xintong had yet to be found. The Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven was extremely expansive. He did not even know how or where to start finding her, so how could he accompany a female stranger, who he did not have much of a friendship with, on her travels? This was just a maleficent plan of Luo Huo'er.

Luo Huo'er grunted. Prince Crimson Firmament's high and mighty appearance compelled her to give him a merciless punch in the face.

"Little Yun! I say, when you participated in the trial, why the heck did you keep a low profile for? At the end, you should have come out and had a go at the Fey Refining Rock array. By doing so, what can they still say!?" Luo Huo'er transmitted her voice unhappily.

Yi Yun lightly said, "It's meaningless if they see it or not. One’s Strength is one's own."

After saying that, Yi Yun stood up.

Seeing that Yi Yun was about to leave, there was no reason for Luo Huo'er to stay any longer. She unhappily stood up.

"Why? Are you leaving just like that? Why don't you stay behind for some tea?" Prince Crimson Firmament said with a faint smile, his demeanor looking laid-back and complacent.

Bai Yueqing laughed out loud as well. He opened his fan again and he slowly flapped it.

"If one doesn't want to stay, staying behind to drink tea would feel make one feel uneasy. This prince won't be sending you off, so help yourselves." Bai Yueqing said.

Again, it was a fluttery sentence that entered Yi Yun's ears.

"Yi Yun, I know you verbally say it as if you don't care, but you actually feel indignant in your heart. Do not think that it's something impressive defeating the fifth Ancient Fey with a mystic technique. A mystic technique is not a law after all. It's just from a mystic manual, a move only. After you step into the Dao Manifestation realm, your laws can be condensed into Dao fruits, but mystic techniques can't."

"The Dao Manifestation largely determines your future success. If the Dao fruit that you condense is lacking in quality, so what if your mystic technique is powerful? Xue'er had attained Dao Domain during the first seven years of the Luo Divine Hall trials. Can you?" Bai Yueqing said those words softly, but it could be heard from afar.

Many people could not help but agree with them when they heard this.

Indeed, a mystic technique could not condense a Dao fruit. It was not very helpful for a warrior's foundation. It could only increase one's combat power.

"Hmph, how do you know that the Dao fruits that Yi Yun will condense will be poor in quality? Bai Yueqing, be careful of what you say, for they might smack you right back in the face." Before Yi Yun even said anything, Luo Huo'er had spoken first.

Bai Yueqing chuckled and said, "Princess Purple Spirit, you seem unconvinced. This isn't only just my view. I was just discussing with someone what would happen when the both of you step into the Dao Manifestation realm… "

As Bai Yueqing spoke, he glanced at a pavilion nearby.

Not far away, there was a small ivory-colored pavilion. It was much smaller than the pavilion where Bai Yueqing and Prince Crimson Firmament were sitting.

Yi Yun glanced in that direction and he saw two people sitting in the pavilion.

One of them was in black clothes, with his back facing Yi Yun. As for the other person, he was dressed in fox fur, with a pair of swords, one long and one short, beside him.

The person wearing fox fur had delicate looks. His bright eyes had a life to them. He was sitting there drinking wine, as though he was integrated with the surroundings.

These two people, especially the man in the fox fur facing him, caught Yi Yun's attention.

"It's Chu Yunjian… " Luo Huo'er's eyebrows pricked.

"Oh? Is he very famous?"

"Sort of." Luo Huo'er nodded. "He used to be an itinerant cultivator before settling down in the White Fox clan, becoming a White Fox disciple. He had participated in the previous White Fox trials. As for this time, as his age had exceeded a hundred years old, he could not participate in it again."

"Chu Yunjian stepped into the Dao Manifestation realm a few years ago. He condensed a four-leaf Dao fruit and two seven-leaf Dao fruits."

"Three Dao fruit?" Yi Yun was slightly surprised. Three Dao fruits were indeed quite a lot. However, having one four-leaf and two seven-leaf Dao fruits did not seem to be up to the standard of a worldly genius…

Luo Huo'er could tell what was on Yi Yun's mind as she said, "A seven-leaf Dao fruit is already pretty powerful. Furthermore, the crux of the matter was that the seven-leaf Dao fruits that Chu Yunjian condensed were extraordinary!"

"The four-leaf Dao fruit was a condensation of Sword Dao, as for the other two seven-leaf Dao fruits, they were both Great Dao — one a condensation of time, and the other a condensation of space. By gaining insights into both space-time laws, he had managed to condense two seven-leaf Dao fruits at the age of a hundred. That's already very amazing."

"Space-time laws together with Sword Dao, so Chu Yunjian's strength is rather terrifying. If he were ten years younger, he would have been in time for the recent Luo Divine Hall trials. Yi Yun, you would have had another strong opponent."

"Dao of space-time with Sword Dao?"

Yi Yun was taken aback momentarily. Space-time was born along with the formation of the universe. It was just like Yin and Yang. They were the Great Dao amongst the Great Dao. They were much harder compared to the Dao of the five elements—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth—or the Natural Dao—Wind, Rain, Lightning. After comprehending them, a warrior's strength would also be even stronger!

Comparing the same seven-leaf Dao fruit, a fire-elemental seven-leaf Dao fruit was naturally inferior to space and time seven-leaf Dao fruits.

As for Sword Dao, although it was inferior to the Dao of space and time, it was not a lowly Dao either. With a sword, one could wield a Divine Lord Royal Seal, becoming a Divine Lord. There were many such instances in the 12 Empyrean Heavens. For example, the Azure Yang Lord was one of them.

At that moment, Luo Huo'er added on, "Chu Yunjian's status in the White Fox clan is extraordinary, so Bai Yueqing views him as a high-level guest. Not only is he very strong, his eyes are sharp as well. He must have evaluated you just now, but who knows how he evaluated you… "

Luo Huo'er was somewhat concerned about this. She did not see the process of Yi Yun's Luo Divine Hall trials. As for the effects of Yi Yun's reclusive retreat, she did not know either.

Although she had an inexplicable sense of confidence when it came to Yi Yun, she was still curious about how a keen-eyed person like Chu Yunjian would evaluate Yi Yun.

"I do not need others to evaluate me."

Yi Yun shook his head. During Yi Yun and Luo Huo'er's conversation, Chu Yunjian was constantly drinking wine with the person across him. He did not even glance at Yi Yun, as though whatever was happening around him did not concern him.

This was not arrogance, but a swordsman that was dedicated to martial arts. He paid no attention and he was indifferent to everything that happened around him.

To them, all they needed was having a sword in the heart and laws.

Just as Yi Yun and Luo Huo'er were conversing, the door to the Luo clan's royal palace slowly opened.

A majestic and luxurious aura emanated as Yi Yun looked at the slowly opening palace doors. He did not know why so many powerful factions were gathered at the royal palace and as to what had happened. But now, there was most likely an outcome.

True Martial World - Chapter 920: Bearing Witness

By walking into the pavilion, Luo Huo'er was in the same pavilion as Princess White Fox. With two blessed daughters of heaven in the same pavilion, even disciples from other pavilions could not help but look towards their pavillion.

"Brother, Your Highness Third Prince, Princess Xue'er." Luo Huo'er was elegant as she said this with a slight bow.

Seeing Luo Huo'er being so graceful and engaging in such proper etiquette, Yi Yun was feeling somewhat speechless watching this from behind. She was clearly here to stir shit, yet she remained so polite.

The corners of Bai Yueqing's mouth twitched. He silently placed his teacup down. Back at the White Fox clan's trials, Luo Huo'er's mischief had completely battered the White Fox clan geniuses silly. That truly made Bai Yueqing witness how powerful the little demoness was.

Sweeping his gaze behind Luo Huo'er, Bai Yueqing noticed Yi Yun and that made him even more upset.

"Princess Purple Spirit." Princess White Fox nodded her head slightly at Luo Huo'er as a form of reciprocating respect.

After that, she looked at Yi Yun and gently nodded.

"Sister Purple Spirit, I invited you over to sit, but you didn't come. Now, you have finally given me the honor." Prince Crimson Firmament said nonchalantly.

He obviously knew why Luo Huo'er was here. However, he still had complete disregard for Yi Yun, as though he did not even see him. At that moment, he was wearing luxurious clothing and he was sitting in a great state, with a regal air to him.

Back when Yi Yun first met Prince Crimson Firmament, he found his aura unfathomable. Now, with his cultivation realm being higher and having grasped the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence, Yi Yun could sense different things from Prince Crimson Firmament's body when he looked at him.

The space around Prince Crimson Firmament's body was slightly distorted. His aura was sealed in this space, so when others looked at him for a slightly prolonged period of time, they would find their eyes beginning to swell up. His aura made people feel like it was just a black hole.

"I was afraid to disturb Brother. However, Yi Yun, Princess Xue'er, and His Highness Third Prince all know each other, so I brought him here to meet you."

Luo Huo'er sat down, she turned her head to Yi Yun, and said, "Yi Yun, come over here and sit."

When this was said, the White Fox disciples in the pavilion immediately felt edgy.

Most of the White Fox disciples in the pavilion had stayed behind for their clan's trials. They had also heard of Yi Yun, but they did not recognize his face.

Only when they heard Luo Huo'er call Yi Yun's name out and how she wanted him to sit did they know that this young-looking man was Yi Yun.

He was the one that once surpassed Princess White Fox by a tiny bit?

Upon hearing Luo Huo'er's words, Yi Yun did not refuse either. He adjusted his pale white robe that was made out of heaven silk before sitting down.

Seeing Yi Yun sit together with all the princes and princesses, some of the White Fox disciples felt upset. Many of them came from stunning backgrounds, but they still had to stand in the pavilion. Even if they could sit, they could only sit at a lower level seat. How could they sit on the same table as Luo Huo'er?

Furthermore, Yi Yun did not stand on ceremony, nor did he refuse. It felt as though it was only natural for him to share a table with the princes and princesses. Who the hell did he think he was?

Bai Yueqing frowned slightly. Although sitting on the same table as Yi Yun made him uncomfortable, he did not speak a single word. As for Prince Crimson Firmament, he completely ignored this matter.

"Your Highness Third Prince, do you still remember our bet?" Luo Huo'er asked with a grin.

Bai Yueqing quietly opened his fan and said lightly, "Bet? I certainly remember it."

"It's good that you remember it. Brother Crimson Firmament, why don't you bear witness? Back then, the bet entailed that in the White Fox clan and Luo clan trials, the White Fox clan has to account for 60% of the results. If the Luo clan were to lose, I would stay behind in the White Fox clan for a year of travel. If the White Fox clan were to lose, Princess White Fox would have to stay behind in the Luo clan to travel a year, and I'll assign a genius to accompany Princess White Fox in her tour. Wasn't that so?"

As Luo Huo'er spoke, she glanced at Prince Crimson Firmament. Yi Yun was rendered speechless while listening to her. He knew that Luo Huo'er was planning on 'assigning' him to princess White Fox. This was going to happen in front of Prince Crimson Firmament, while Prince Crimson Firmament was already gearing up to enter a marriage with Princess White Fox. No one knew what was on Prince Crimson Firmament's mind.

But at least from the surface, Prince Crimson Firmament did not seem unhappy at all.

"This prince as witness? Sure. From this prince's point of view, that tiny bet is nothing more than motivating the elites of both clans. Its goal has been reached. As for both the trials, this prince has a detailed understanding of them. Sister Purple Spirit, you were undoubtedly ranked first in the White Fox clan trials!"

Prince Crimson Firmament said slowly, "As for the Luo Divine Hall trials, Princess White Fox was ranked first. Therefore, the first ranks on both sides are equally matched. As for the other disciples, the White Fox clan was indeed slightly better than our Luo clan's younger elites… "

"Oh?" Luo Huo'er stared with her beautiful eyes at him, "Who did you say was first at the Luo Divine Hall trials?"

"Princess Xue'er was first. This is the result that was eventually decided after the Luo Divine Hall trials ended. There's nothing questionable about that, right!? Princess Xue'er eventually managed to clear the sixth level of the Fey Refining Rock array, killing the sixth Ancient Fey. As for the others, Yi Yun was the next highest having killed the fifth Ancient Fey. As for the others... Jian Zhu, the Shadow Twins, and Wufeng, they had managed to kill the fourth Ancient Fey."

"Other than the Fey Refining Rock array, there were trials that were related to bloodline. This was undoubtedly where Princess Xue'er was miles ahead. And from what I learned, Yi Yun did not even participate in the bloodline trials. Even if he had participated, with Yi Yun's thin Fey race bloodline, he probably would not have much to show for it. He would be beneath the Shadow Twins." Prince Crimson Firmament said very calmly.

At that moment, he finally glanced at Yi Yun. It had a hint of derision in it.

Without mentioning the Fey Refining Rock trial, Yi Yun had been absent for all the trials after that, staying inside the Primordial Space in reclusive cultivation. When Prince Crimson Firmament knew about this, he found it amusing.

The Luo Divine Hall was filled with treasures everywhere. Countless disciples yearned to enter the Luo Divine Hall so as they could enjoy the resources inside, but Yi Yun abandoned all of these resources, all for a Primordial Space.

The Primordial Space was indeed a great opportunity, but seven years of meditation was not enough. He even meditated for eighteen years.

Didn't he know that a true expert was not created through reclusion? It needed constant actual combat, experiencing life and death battles. Only then could one increase one's strength through battle, eventually become a member of the generation's strong people!

But thankfully, Yi Yun was dumb, giving him an excuse. The final results that the Luo Divine Hall trials produced did not rank Yi Yun. This was because Yi Yun was absent in too many of the trials, so it was impossible for him to be ranked.

It was finally recognized in the rankings that Princess White Fox was first in the trial.

If not, to let Yi Yun really accompany Princess White Fox to tour the Luo clan? How could he salvage his reputation as an heir to the throne? If Princess White Fox were to one day become the Luo clan's Empress, wouldn't this matter make him the laughing stock of the world?

Prince Crimson Firmament's words made Luo Huo'er's eyebrows prick up.

"So that's the case. I was wondering why Brother Crimson Firmament was sitting so stably. So you've already thought of an excuse, and would rather die than admit it?" Luo Huo'er derided him ruthlessly.

She was enemies with Prince Crimson Firmament to begin with, so she didn't care.

"What did this prince say wrong?" Prince Crimson Firmament sipped a mouthful of tea and slowly said, "Strength does not exist in talk, it exists in actual validation. I saw the scenes of Yi Yun battling the fifth Ancient Fey. He was using a mystic technique to defeat the fifth Ancient Fey. He clearly was only able to use the mystic technique once. After defeating the fifth Ancient Fey, how was he going to battle the sixth Ancient Fey?"

"As for Princess Xue'er, she had used her true abilities to slay the fifth Ancient Fey. She did not use any mystic techniques. Princess Xue'er surpasses Yi Yun in every way, other than that special mystic technique. She experienced the trials in the Luo Divine Hall for eleven years before being able to slay the sixth Ancient Fey. Furthermore, she still had energy left after the slaying! That is the difference!" noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

"I'll not talk about the difference in the Fey Refining Rock array and talk about the bloodline trials. Yi Yun was absent, and if he truly participated, would his tiny bit of bloodline be qualified to compare with Princess White Fox?"

True Martial World - Chapter 919: Luo Clan Royal Palace

The Luo clan's royal palace was located at the top of the royal capital. It towered above all, overlooking everything!

Flying was banned in most regions of the royal capital. This meant that people had to walk towards the inner sanctums of the Luo clan royal palace.

If one looked up, they would see a long imperial staircase winding around the mountain all the way until it disappeared into the clouds. A grand and majestic golden palace loomed at the top.

In between the steps, there were cloud dragon stone carvings. The designs of the stone carvings constantly changed along the way.

There were Heaven Fey, Ancient Fey, sages of the Fey race, as well as Fey God totems!

Many ministers and young talent had to stop at the bottom of the stairs. They would then respectfully bow towards the stairs before walking up them.

Only people who enjoyed a very high status in the Luo clan or people who had particular special merits and honors had the right to walk further up the stairs that led into the clouds.

At that moment, an extremely luxurious sedan that was the size of a house seemed to flutter over towards the stairs. There were more than ten servants making way for it, as it arrived in front of the steps.

The sedan was being carried by hundred-foot tall strongmen. They had two horns on their heads and their faces were crimson in color. They walked as fast as the wind.

"What a large sedan!"

"Who can be carried in a sedan here while still being able to continue to proceed higher?"

Warriors turned their heads around to take a look.

"Look at the emblem on the sedan. It's someone from the Oracle Fey Kingdom!"

"Yes, I recognize that emblem as well."

"I heard my sect Elders say that a number of important guests have arrived in the royal capital recently. I never expected that people from the Oracle Fey Kingdom would come as well."

The Oracle Fey Kingdom was one of the largest factions of the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven. It was located in an ancient independent space, forming a world for itself.

Since it was a sedan of the Oracle Fey Kingdom, it was also normal for them to be able to be carried up the stairs.

However, the Oracle Fey Kingdom seldom made contact with the external world. What were they doing here today?

The strongmen carried the sedan as they moved up and soon, they disappeared into the clouds.

Warriors watched with astonishment, but very quickly, a gigantic black fish flew past them in the sky!

This gigantic black fish flew over their heads and it landed on a square at the foot of the mountain. It was the size of a hill.

"Sea Devouring Fish?"

"It's not a real Sea Devouring Fish, but one of its descendants with an extremely rich bloodline. However, it's extremely rare in the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven. That is someone from the World Margin Sect.

"What special occasion is it? Why are there so many ambassadors from large factions gathering here today?"

"Oh? I've finally recognized one of those factions. That's the White Fox clan's nebulous cloud!"

The warriors looked over. The White Fox clan was one they were rather familiar with.

The guests of various large factions passed them or flew over them. It was very overwhelming for the lowly warriors.

However, although the esteemed guests had the qualification to fly above the royal palace, they still needed to walk when they reached the long flight of stairs.

Amongst these people that made a grandiose entrance, a man standing on a golden condor appeared in the sky.

"That is... Eh, what's that?"

It was an ordinary golden condor, one of the most common birds in several sects.

Yet, how was this commonly-seen bird flying above the royal capital? Furthermore, it was flying alongside extremely well-known Ancient Fey descendants that everyone knew in the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven?

"There's someone on it!"

"Who is that? It looks like someone from the younger generation."

Typically, a person who could fly above the royal palace was someone who enjoyed an extremely high status. Most of the time, those people were not young, so it was very rare to see someone young doing so.

As though he had noticed the commotion below, Yi Yun, who was flying on the golden condor, glanced down as he quickly flew across the sky.

This was a special privilege that Yi Yun enjoyed after the Luo Divine Hall trials. People of honor were allowed to fly above the royal palace.

Of course, he still had to walk once he reached the stairs, but it was an extremely high honor already. The ambassadors of those large factions were given the same treatment.

Flying above the royal palace was an unprecedented experience. However, the mount that Yi Yun had was limited to a single golden condor, so he had casually used it.

However, this nondescript golden condor stood out amid the progeny of Ancient Fey. As such, the warriors beneath were all craning their necks to look at him.

Before Yi Yun arrived, he was informed by Luo Huo'er that the people who came were important figures of various large factions. It was unknown why these people were gathering here today.

Xiao—

Yi Yun's golden condor landed in front of the stairs.

After Yi Yun’s golden condor landed, he got off and began walking up towards the Luo royal palace.

The royal palace was majestic, as though it was built on clouds. Looking down from the top, there was a panoramic view of mountains and rivers that extended far out.

Although the flight of stairs was long, it was not much effort for warriors to traverse it.

"Who is that person?"

On one side of the royal palace, there was a tiny garden. In it, there were artificial hills and ponds. A few pavilions were constructed around a pond — temporary resting spots for those meeting Emperor Luo.

There were already many people gathered near the pond.

Yi Yun immediately noticed Luo Huo'er amongst the crowd. She was like a brilliant flame burning in the crowd. It was difficult not to notice her.

"Little Yun, you sure are slow." Luo Huo'er said with a grin. She was sitting in the seat of honor in one of the pavilions. Beside her was Jian Zhu and Xuan Junyue.

The moment that Luo Huo'er spoke, many people immediately looked at Yi Yun.

"He's Yi Yun?"

Even some of the Luo clan disciples present did not know Yi Yun. Many people had gone to the White Fox clan for the trials, so they obviously did not get to witness Yi Yun's prowess.

They had only heard that Yi Yun had surpassed Princess White Fox at the Fey Refining Rock array. As for Princess White Fox, she was no better or worse than Luo Huo'er!

This made many people, including Xuan Junyue, very uncomfortable. They even had their doubts.

They had not participated in the Luo Divine Hall trials, but at the White Fox clan trials, Luo Huo'er's outstanding performance was something that they experienced in person. It was a complete blow to their entire beings. It struck them as though they would never be able to chase up to her.

The lad in front of them had what it took to match Luo Huo'er?

Didn't this mean that this human of a commoner background who didn't seem to be mighty, would also give them the feeling that they would never be able to chase up to him?

This was something that they found unacceptable no matter how it was phrased.

"Uh… It was a bit slow. I don't have any good mounts. I came here on a golden condor. The bird flew rather slowly."

When Yi Yun said this, the geniuses around Luo Huo'er felt even more speechless. Was this lad truly an existence that they were too inferior to bear comparison to?

"I'll get Mother to send you a mount tomorrow. This matter can be discussed in the future. Little Yun, let's go. Let's have a seat at the White Fox clan's pavilion and have a chat!"

Luo Huo'er had a penchant for chaos. She was eagerly waiting for Yi Yun to come so she could take Yi Yun to the White Fox clan to smack Bai Yueqing's face. What a joy would that be?

There were several pavilions connected by stone bridges in the area. Using them, Luo Huo'er dragged Yi Yun towards the White Fox clan's pavilion.

At that moment, Prince Crimson Firmament was also at the White Fox clan's pavilion. Bai Yueqing and Princess White Fox were certainly not absent.

They could see Luo Huo'er bringing Yi Yun from afar. Princess White Fox did not react to them, but Bai Yueqing's expression turned extremely ugly.

Especially when he saw that exquisite smirk on Luo Huo'er's face. There was obviously a teasing look to it, and Bai Yueqing knew that this princess of the Luo clan was not someone to be trifled with. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

True Martial World - Chapter 918: Dao Manifestation Realm

With the existence of voice transmission charms and arrays, the proliferation of news was extremely fast.

Especially the Luo Divine Hall trials could be said to be highly-anticipated. It was a big deal to the Luo clan. Before the disciples that participated in the Luo Divine Hall trials returned, the results of the trials had proliferated at an astonishing speed in the royal capital.

Yi Yun had beaten Princess White Fox in the Fey Refining Rock array, crushing the Shadow Twins, Wufeng, and a Supremacy's disciple, Jian Zhu. Just this news along stirred quite a storm in the Luo clan royal capital!

Although they also learned that Yi Yun did not participate in any of the other tests of the Luo Divine Hall trials in the eleven years after them, it did not matter. Just the trial in the first seven years was enough to make Yi Yun famous in the royal capital.

In the past, Ran Xueyi and Luo Mo were influential figures in the upper circles of the royal capital, where their names were the talk of the town. But Luo Mo and Ran Xueyi were nothing compared to seclusive geniuses like Jian Zhu and the Shadow Twins.

As for Yi Yun, he surpassed everyone else, including Princess White Fox, a publicly recognized genius. Yi Yun was even slightly younger than Princess White Fox. With his background as a commoner and his unparalleled speed at improving himself, he was now idolized by numerous youths in the royal capital, especially those from ordinary backgrounds.

The title of being first up till the seventh year of the Luo Divine Hall was something that eclipsed the four great young masters of the royal capital.

...

From the moment that the results of the Luo Divine Hall trials were out, copious numbers of factions paid attention to the rankings. After all, only a couple of dozen people from the entire Luo clan's 196 states and the royal capital were ranked on the Luo Divine Hall Trials rankings every sixty years.

Large factions had their own machinations, while small factions had their own tricks. But whoever was ranked on the Luo Divine Hall trials' ranking, regardless if they ranked way below the top ten, would be clamored for by the entire Luo clan!

Many factions in the royal capital were trying to woo these people. Other than a few that could not be wooed, most of the other disciples would choose to stay in the royal capital.

As for the other 196 states, even the large family clans of those states would only get the leftovers.

As for those ranked in the top ten, there was nothing to think about them. They were exclusive to the Luo clan ancient family clans or even the Luo clan royal family.

...

When Yi Yun returned to the royal capital, he disembarked the spirit cruiser, and accompanying him was Luo Fengling.

She ultimately failed to leave her name on the Luo Divine Hall trials rankings. She did not even get a chance to enter the Primordial Space. She could only meditate in front of the Ancient Fey stones outside, and those were obviously much more inferior to the Fey God Chaos Stones.

The outcome of not being ranked meant that Luo Fengling had to return to the Fire Cloud State. She needed to stay in the royal capital for a few days, and since Yi Yun and Luo Fengling were both warriors from the Fire Cloud State, and had a friendship, they naturally stayed together. Since Yi Yun's viscount residence was large, it could easily accommodate Luo Fengling's temporary lodging.

Considering how she had saved the severely injured Yi Yun eighteen years ago with a Fire Cloud State spirit cruiser, that scene was like a dream. Who would expect that such a youth would come this far?

Yi Yun's viscount residence was built near a mountain. When Yi Yun returned to his viscount residence, he saw many spirit beasts perched on the mountain behind the residence, with more than ten spirit vessels parked near it.

"Oh? This is… "

When Yi Yun saw the spirit beasts and spirit vessels, he was surprised. He then saw a servant girl from the viscount residence welcome him like she was welcoming her master.

Upon asking the maidservant, he found out that the spirit beasts and spirit vessels were ridden by the ambassadors of large family clans who were here to visit Yi Yun.

They knew that Yi Yun was someone in Empress Xuan's camp, so no faction had the guts to steal from Empress Xuan. Even if they did, it was impossible to steal Yi Yun from her. However, they knew that they had to establish a good relationship with Yi Yun. They sent expensive gifts to express their congratulations on Yi Yun's results at the Luo Divine Hall trials.

After learning of the reason, Yi Yun was also somewhat astonished. He never expected that being first in the first seven years of the Luo Divine Hall trials would create so much influence.

Yi Yun was not being arrogant to the visitors, but it was because he did not have the time to entertain each and every one of them. Thankfully, Empress Xuan had included servants when she gave the viscount residence to him. He could just get the servants to deal with the affairs.

Luo Fengling was deeply envious of all of this. She felt that it was impossible for her to indulge in such a scene herself in whatever life she had left.

At that moment, a purplish-red voice transmission charm lit up in front of Yi Yun. It came from Luo Huo'er.

"Little Yun, some important guests came to the Luo clan royal palace a few days ago, it looks like they were discussing something."

"Tomorrow, Father will be summoning all of the best participants of the trials to the royal palace. There will also be my brother, Crimson Firmament, Princess White Fox, as well as that male seductive fox named Bai Yueqing!"

As Luo Huo'er spoke, her voice turned excited. Clearly, this girl looked forward to meeting Bai Yueqing. It was a good opportunity to smack Bai Yueqing in the face, so how could she miss it? Furthermore, Princess White Fox would have to travel with Yi Yun! Luo Huo'er was eager to see the expression on Crimson Firmament's face.

"Oh? His Majesty is summoning us?"

Yi Yun was surprised. As the leader of the entire Luo clan dynasty, Emperor Luo was not someone who was easily seen. Even the top cultivators of the Luo Divine Hall trials that happened after this one might not have the chance to meet Emperor Luo.

It was unknown what the legendary Emperor Luo was like... Even figures like Empress Luo and Empress Xuan had to be mindful about gaining and losing his favor. After all, Emperor Luo would determine who the person that would inherit the throne was.

Yi Yun replied to Luo Huo'er and he settled Luo Fengling before returning to his room to have a good rest.

He had not slept like a mortal in a very long time. In the Primordial Space, he basically spent all of the time meditating while sitting down. He did not slack for a moment and that solitude and loneliness was something that many people could not endure.

As for the path to martial arts, it was filled with such long reclusions. Very few weak-minded warriors could guarantee that they could wholeheartedly pursue martial arts.

Over the eighteen years, Yi Yun's cultivation level went straight to the Heaven Ascension perfection realm. The next step up from the Heaven Ascension realm was the Dao Manifestation realm.

By manifesting one's Dao, one could grow Dao fruits on the Heaven Ascension Dao Tree.

To top geniuses, the rising of an intermediate realm was not difficult, and it could be done very casually. Some top geniuses would meditate for decades. With their Dao foundations established, they were able to rise their cultivation level from the beginning stages straight to the peak in just a few short years.

To geniuses, the hardest thing to raise was a large cultivation realm. It was not that it was difficult to raise, but it was difficult to raise it perfectly.

This was most pertinent from the Heaven Ascension realm to the Dao Manifestation realm. The manifestation of Dao fruit was a big deal to every Heaven Ascension realm genius!

The more varied the insights in the Dao that geniuses had, the more Dao fruits they manifested!

Most warriors would only be able to condense a single Dao fruit when they enter the Dao Manifestation realm. After all, a young genius had a limited amount of time. It was already very difficult to comprehend a single law. If one tried to focus on too many Dao, it would be biting off more than they could chew. It was a waste of their time and potential.

Mastering only one law was the safest approach. It could guarantee a smooth manifestation of Dao. Even the geniuses, who were qualified to participate in the Luo Divine Hall trials, would mostly do so.

However, there was an extremely tiny number of people who could manifest two Dao fruits. These people had exceeding perception. At a young age, they were able to multitask, cultivating two laws at the same time. The difficulty was not as simple as twice the difficulty of mastering one law.

And even further up, the manifestation of three or four Dao fruits was nearly unheard of.

Furthermore, even if such people existed, they were not necessarily a positive example.

The number of Dao fruits manifested was not the most important thing, it was the quality of the fruits!

If a genius like Princess White Fox wanted to manifest several Dao fruit, she just needed to study many laws. It would not be a problem to manifest five Dao fruits after that.

However, Princess White Fox would obviously not do so. Five low-quality Dao fruits were not as valuable as a single high-quality Dao fruit!

Dao fruits had nine qualities. Every rise in quality would make a leaf grow on the fruit stem.

One leaf was the poorest quality of Dao fruit. The person would basically go no further than the Dao Manifestation realm in their entire lives.

With every additional leaf, the warrior's potential would be greatly elevated!

By the time it was six or seven-leaf Dao fruits, it was already exceedingly rare.

An eight-leaf Dao fruit could be said to be the standard of a peerless genius of an entire sect. As for nine-leaf Dao fruits, they were nearly a legend. After all, most Supremacies would only have eight-leaf Dao fruits when they entered the Dao Manifestation realm!

Of course, they might have all sorts of opportunities in the future, even with eight-leaf Dao fruits. The leaf count of a Dao fruit did not entirely determine a person's future success. It was even rumored that a Divine Lord that was in control of a Divine Lord Royal Seal only had a eight-leaf Dao fruit. Yet, he had reached a height that even nine-leaf Dao fruit geniuses could not reach.

The future was anyone's guess!

Now, Yi Yun was at the Heaven Ascension perfection realm. He was already preparing to start manifesting his Dao fruit. But of course, it still would take a lot of time.

Many geniuses did not dare to take this step because a lot was at stake at the Dao Manifestation realm. It determined a lot of their future achievements to a large extent.

Therefore, they would typically spend a century or two consolidating their foundations and meditating over the laws before they stepped into the Dao Manifestation realm, accepting the sentence of the law!

However, if they stepped into the Dao Manifestation realm too late, it would be a waste of potential even if the quality of the Dao fruit was increased. This was truly a hard for one to resolutely make the choice!

True Martial World - Chapter 917: End, Departure

The Luo Divine Hall trials continued, but no one saw Yi Yun participating anymore.

After the Fey Refining Rock array evaluation, Yi Yun had become the idol of a good deal of the Luo clan disciples. When Elder Duanmu informed them that Yi Yun would enter reclusive cultivation and that he would no longer participate in the trials, the disciples were rather upset, but they felt envious at the same time.

To enter such a long reclusion proved that Yi Yun had reaped great benefits from the seven years of meditation and the Fey Refining Rock array. When he completely digested the benefits, his strength would definitely improve by leaps and bounds.

Yi Yun was much stronger than them already. To what extent would he reach after improving his strength? The potential already shown by Yi Yun made them scared to think any further.

"He was only cast in the limelight at the Fey Refining Rock array, and there he is, trying to hide away. He was actually able to clinch victory only with that strange move at the end. Without that strange move that instantly killed the Nine-tailed White Fox, Yi Yun's combat ability is far inferior to Her Highness'."

"And in the following trials, there are tests on physique and bloodline, but he does not plan on participating. He is clearly worried that his physique and bloodline are inferior to Her Highness'." Nongyue grumbled in a soft voice.

Although she knew in her heart that Yi Yun had beat Princess White Fox through the use of the strange move at the end, she knew that even without the move, Yi Yun could easily thrash her and her sister. This point left a bitter taste in her mouth.

However, when it came to the Fey race's bloodline, Nongyue was convinced that Yi Yun was absolutely inferior.

Just as Nongyue's voice faded, she saw her her elder sister, Nongying staring at her.

Nongyue stuck out her tongue and she hurriedly shut her mouth.

When Princess White Fox heard Elder Duanmu's words, there was a gentle flash in her beautiful eyes.

He is going into reclusion… ?

Princess White Fox had been a top elite from a young age. She did not have a rival at a similar age other than Luo Huo'er.

Princess White Fox had obtained a detailed description of Yi Yun's battle with the fifth Nine-tailed White Fox from Nongying and Nongyue.

"I never got to witness that battle with my own eyes… I'll look forward to you coming out of reclusion." Princess White Fox whispered.

Yi Yun may have entered reclusion, but couldn't she enhance her own strength as well?

...

Primordial Space.

A huge door that was so big that it went from the ground to the sky, and it isolated the Primordial Space from the outside world.

The entire Primordial Space was misty as a dead and bleak aura permeated it.

It was a dead world. The auric charms of the Fey Gods sealed in the Fey God Stones were the only evidence of the world's past existence. What was in here was life that had failed to fully evolve.

Silently sitting in front of the three mysterious Fey God Stones, Yi Yun closed his eyes tightly. He breathed silently, as though he had incorporated himself in the dead world.

His consciousness was fully projected on the Purple Crystal Fey God Stone.

He still saw the long-haired man on his entry into the Purple Crystal Fey God Stone.

Yi Yun had already grasped the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence, but it was not as advanced as the long-haired man's.

If the long-haired man was said to have mastered the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence to its end, Yi Yun was only just at the beginning.

With his Sword of Will, Yi Yun approached the long-haired man. At that moment, he saw the long-haired man push the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence out.

This casual push wrapped the heaven and earth. Countless nomological fragments flew past as thousands of phantom images of gods and demons appeared. Each one of them stepped on the ground and each one was a thousand feet tall.

A terrifying pressure smashed on Yi Yun like a mountain.

Yi Yun resisted against it with all his strength. Bam!

All of his Yuan Qi was drained as the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence shattered. His vision went black immediately!

"Phew– "

Yi Yun suddenly opened his eyes as he noticed himself returning to the Primordial Space.

With his nomological insights increasing in profoundness every day, Yi Yun was able to see more things. And at the same time, the pressure inflicted on Yi Yun was higher.

A casual gesture of long-haired man produced nomological pressure that he could not withstand, even the Sword of Will was insufficient.

"Who knew that there would be such a change after entering the Purple Crystal Fey God Stone again. I'm still too weak." Yi Yun muttered to himself, but his heart was filled with anticipation.

Being able to witness how the long-haired man did things was an opportunity that one could not ask for.

Jian Zhu's master was Supremacy Gulan, but Supremacy Gulan was in reclusion for extended periods of time. He seldom had the time to illustrate laws for Jian Zhu.

As for this long-haired man, his strength was far from what a Supremacy could compare with.

Where could one find such an opportunity?

"Strength should be increased first!"

Yi Yun wiped his interspatial ring as a crystal appeared in his palm.

Blood dragon's blood marrow.

This wisp of Fey dragon blood marrow seemed to sense something as it began to frantically scurry around the crystal.

Yi Yun took a deep breath.

’Kacha!’ He crushed the crystal.

Suddenly, the wisp of blood dragon's blood marrow flew out of the crystal.

Yi Yun was long prepared as he grabbed at it.

Immediately, the space surrounding the blood dragon's blood marrow was sealed. It struggled within the space, scurrying left and right, but it could not break out of the seal.

Its shape was constantly in flux, yet it failed to escape its shackles.

Yi Yun quietly regulated his breathing and a few days had passed unknowingly.

Only when his body recovered to its optimal state did Yi Yun open his eyes. Looking at the blood dragon's blood marrow, he beckoned at it.

The blood dragon's blood marrow was pulled by an invisible force as it constantly came closer to Yi Yun.

As though it realized that there were no means of escape, the blood dragon's blood marrow bloodlust suddenly surged as it shot straight at Yi Yun's glabella!

Yi Yun did not dodge!

Boom!

As though his body was thrown into a pool of magma, Yi Yun's body immediately heated up!

A degenerated blood dragon was violent and bloodthirsty by nature. Its blood marrow was one of the most violent and dangerous tonics.

However, it was only a wisp of blood marrow. If Yi Yun used his Yuan Qi to suppress it, he could slowly absorb it.

However, Yi Yun did not choose to do so.

At the beginning, he was planning on circulating his Yuan Qi, but when the blood marrow surged into his own blood marrow, Yi Yun discovered that his pure Yang bloodline had been activated by the blood marrow's oppressive energy. He felt that his body had become a furnace.

And this blood marrow had become the flame that burned in the furnace, scorching his meridians.

Yi Yun closed his eyes tightly as sweat constantly oozed out of his forehead. Thunderous rumblings echoed out of his body. Even his clothes were burnt into ash. The blood vessels beneath his skin seemed to be dykes for flowing magma.

At that moment, anything that approached Yi Yun would be burnt into ash from the high temperatures emitted by Yi Yun;s body. His entire being was like a simmering volcano as a raging energy surged wantonly around his body.

In the beginning, Yi Yun would sweat. But slowly, his aura vanished. He turned into a rock once again, with the occasional flashing of his body indicating that he was still alive…

"Senior Brother, how far do you think that kid Yi Yun will be able to absorb the wisp of blood marrow?" In the Luo Divine Hall, Elder Duanmu and Elder Shi were watching Yi Yun in the mist through an array projection.

"A typical disciple can only absorb 10-20%. A talented disciple, maybe 30-40%. However, I can't be sure about Yi Yun. I heard that at Mt. Azure Billow, the effects of him absorbing the Ancient Fey bone were astounding. I believe that this kid will surprise me this time as well." Elder Shi said lightly.

Elder Duanmu shook his head and said, "Let's hope so. Senior Brother, by giving him the blood marrow so early, with his present cultivation realm, it is still too early to absorb such a blood marrow."

"Early? It's not. Let him work hard to improve himself. The Luo clan's catastrophe has yet to pass… "

Elder Shi appeared as though he was muttering to himself. With a wave of his hand, the projection in front of him disappeared…

Cultivation knew nothing about time. Year after year passed as the Luo Divine Hall trials were coming to an end.

Over the eighteen years, the Luo clan and White Fox clan elites had improved significantly. And after the first seven years, Yi Yun had never appeared again.

On the last day, two spirit cruisers tore through the void and appeared above the Luo Divine Hall. They were spirit cruisers at the Supremacy level. They were here to take the Luo clan and White Fox clan elites from the Primordial Empyrean Heaven back to their respective clans.

Yi Yun, who had been in reclusion in the Primordial Space all this time, slowly opened his eyes.

Having entered reclusion for eighteen years, it was an unprecedented experience for Yi Yun. Over the eighteen years, he was like a sharp enchanted sword. He was like a sword that had been placed in a scabbard to hide its sharpness.

His hair had grown so long that it reached the floor, spreading completely apart. Even though he was in the Primordial Space, Yi Yun could sense the environment outside and he knew that the spirit cruisers were here. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Yi Yun stood up, his eyes like lightning in the dark night. With a thought, a Thousand Snow flying saber flew out of his interspatial ring, cutting his overly long hair.

It was time to leave the Luo Divine Hall.
