Chapter 614: The Pride of the Ancient Spirit Sect

Qin Yi hadn't yet come to his senses. He stared deeply at Ye Wushuang, utterly speechless. Ye Wushuang had said he would give him an opportunity, and just like that, he had—changing his destiny!

'He's practically the God of Destiny!'

"Who... Who is he?"

The group of youths below was also stunned. To turn Qin Yi into a genius in a single instant—it was simply too incredible!

This was a level of power that no one merely taking the entrance exam should possess.

At once, all the youths taking the exam grew curious about Ye Wushuang's identity. They had no idea when the Ancient Spirit Sect had gained such a terrifyingly powerful new member.

"You are?"

It took a long while for Qin Yi to snap out of his daze. He stared at the person who had changed his destiny, asking blankly, still feeling a bit light-headed.

BOOM!

Just as Qin Yi asked the question, the skies outside Yunhua Peak shifted. One powerful figure after another strode through the air, landing on the training grounds!

Their auras were so immense that the group of youths felt as if they were suffocating!

"This is...?"

Some of the youths stared at the arrivals, their hearts trembling in shock.

"Isn't that the strongest disciple, Jian Bufan? I've heard of him in my clan!"

"Quick, look! It's Star Elder!"

"Heavens, Sect Master Nangong Liuyun is here too!"

...

One famous name after another rang out amidst the exclamations of surprise. Countless Elders had appeared, leaving the new disciples in disbelief. These were all powerhouses who rarely, if ever, showed themselves.

Yet now, all of them had appeared on the Yunhua Peak training grounds. 'Is today some kind of important holiday?'

The disciples taking the exam were utterly dumbfounded. They had never witnessed such a grand assembly!

BOOM!

Outside Yunhua Peak, countless Inner Sect Disciples also began rushing over, further impressing upon everyone the gravity of the situation.

"Why is everyone here?"

Ye Wushuang mumbled to himself, a broad smile on his face as he watched the arrivals.

"You're back!"

Nangong Liuyun walked forward, beaming. He had never been this happy.

Ye Wushuang nodded, then turned his gaze to Star Elder.

Thanks to the Holy Medicine, Star Elder's Dao injuries had been healed. Moreover, his Cultivation had advanced, reaching the Profound Level!

"It's good to have you back!"

Star Elder stroked his beard, also looking overjoyed.

"You've left me far in the dust!"

Jian Bufan stepped forward with a faint smile. These days, he no longer cradled his sword; in fact, he didn't even carry one.

Ye Wushuang knew at a glance. 'This guy's Sword Dao has had another breakthrough!'

Jian Bufan was a natural Sword Dao genius. This breakthrough was likely a monumental leap forward.

"The exam is still happening here. This isn't the place to chat. Let's move this elsewhere."

Ye Wushuang smiled faintly and glanced around at the crowd.

Then, he said to Chen Yuan, "Brother Chen, please handle things here for now."

"Understood!"

Chen Yuan replied with a slight smile.

Seeing this, Ye Wushuang glanced at Qin Yi again. "You have a strong heart, and now I have given you an opportunity. I hope you won't let me down!"

As his words fell, Ye Wushuang waved a single hand. The void before him collapsed, revealing a passage that extended all the way to Fengtian Peak!

This heaven-defying feat instantly stunned everyone, leaving them speechless.

BOOM!

The group stepped into the passage and headed toward Fengtian Peak.

"Elder, he... he couldn't be..."

Gazing at the back of the figure in purple, Qin Yi had a vague guess and turned to ask Chen Yuan.

"He is the pride of the Ancient Spirit Sect!"

Chen Yuan watched Ye Wushuang's departing back and gave a wry smile. 'His strength... it's reached an entirely new level!'

'The pride of the Ancient Spirit Sect!'

When the youths below heard this, their eyes widened. No wonder his arrival had caused such a stir! That figure in purple was Ye the Godslayer, the legendary figure who had dominated the Endless Wilderness!

"I'm not dreaming, am I? I actually saw my idol on my first day of exams!"

"Hahaha, I actually saw Ye the Godslayer!"

...

The group of youths stared at the gradually closing tear in space, their faces flush with excitement. They finally understood why the entire Ancient Spirit Sect was in an uproar. It was because Ye the Godslayer had returned!

"Senior Brother Ye is back!"

Countless Inner Sect Disciples shouted joyfully, their excitement palpable. They watched the gradually fading figure as if he were their returning hero.

He was their spiritual icon, an inspiration to countless young geniuses!

"Ye Wushuang!"

Qin Yi murmured the legendary name to himself.

"Work hard," Chen Yuan said, turning to Qin Yi. "You are very much like him. I hope you, too, can become the pride of the Ancient Spirit Sect. Do not waste what he has given you. It is a gift others can only dream of."

Qin Yi nodded, his gaze resolute. Having experienced despair, he understood just how precious hope was. How could he possibly give up now!

Little did Ye Wushuang know that this one simple act would, in the future, give rise to a peerless powerhouse.

「Back on Fengtian Peak.」

Everyone gathered together to hear Ye Wushuang recount his experiences after leaving the Endless Wilderness. In turn, they told him about the Ancient Spirit Sect's progress over the last few years.

The Ancient Spirit Sect now had more than a dozen new Yin Yang Powerhouses, and Nangong Liuyun himself had reached the Third Layer of the Yang Destruction Level!

The strongest disciples, such as Jian Bufan and Yee Qianmo, had also broken through to the Yin Yang Realm!

Jian Bufan had received a Sword Dao inheritance, allowing him to abandon the physical blade and reach the Realm of 'No Sword is Superior to the Sword'!

The two women, Ye Rou and Qianling, had also broken through to the Yin Yang Realm through constant closed-door training and adventuring.

"Xiaoshuang, it seems the Heavens are about to awaken ahead of schedule."

In the Peach Blossom Spring Residence on Fengtian Peak, Star Elder gazed at the Firmament, his expression tinged with worry.

"Master, I have already sensed it," Ye Wushuang said. "The Grand Emperor is in turmoil, and the Heavens have reacted. The apocalypse will come sooner than expected. But I, too, have made preparations."

"What preparations?"

Star Elder's eyes narrowed, his gaze filled with doubt and confusion.

"You will know soon enough, Master. Once I've purged the powers within the Endless Wilderness, the final battle will begin. Everything will become clear at that time."

Ye Wushuang didn't elaborate. His expression turned sharp as he gazed at the sky. 'Just how powerful is the War Fortress?' he wondered, filled with anticipation.

It was a terrifying relic left behind by the Barbarian God Race who once conquered the Star Universe—a weapon of war beyond imagination.

Furthermore, within it lay the Heaven-Reaching Sword Array, formed from one hundred thousand Pseudo-Saint Dao Weapons. It contained the Immortal Slaying Power, making it a weapon of utterly terrifying proportions!

Star Elder knew none of this. However, hearing that Ye Wushuang intended to purge all the powers in the Endless Wilderness, he was stunned.

He couldn't help but say worriedly, "Xiaoshuang, the Endless Wilderness isn't so easily purged. Don't be impulsive if you aren't absolutely certain of success. It's better to wait for the Ancient Spirit Sect to develop further. At that point, if we ally with the Giant Spirit Clan, we might have a chance."

"Don't worry, Master," Ye Wushuang replied with a faint, confident smile. "The various powers of the Endless Wilderness... I don't even consider them a threat."

Even on his own, annihilating a major power would be a simple matter.

And if worst came to worst, he could just trigger the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation and wipe them all out in one fell swoop!

Of course, his greatest asset was the War Fortress. That was the real key. This time, he had returned to finally activate it!
