Chapter 1663: Asking for a Beating

Life and death, reincarnation—enlightenment in a single move.

This set of hand seals seemed tailor-made for Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan was already exceptionally perceptive, and coupled with his tumultuous fate, his experiences far surpassed those of ordinary people.

He achieved direct enlightenment of this Nirvana Seal.

Seeing Ye Yuan's enlightenment, Ning Tianping was overjoyed and said, "Congratulations, sir! Master, what did I tell you? Sir is truly remarkable, isn't he?"

Mo Lifei smiled awkwardly, his heart shaken with astonishment.

He had just looked down on Ye Yuan, thinking his aptitude was too poor.

Now, he realized just how terribly wrong he had been!

Such comprehension was simply astonishing, as if he were not of this world.

"Hehe, little friend Ye Yuan's comprehension is truly frightening. It is a great fortune for your master to have a disciple like you!" Mo Lifei remarked with emotion.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I happened to enter a state of enlightenment and comprehended the Nirvana Seal. Please continue; I will consolidate this seal technique a bit more."

Under Mo Lifei's guidance, Ning Tianping's technique conversion proceeded quickly.

After his technique conversion was complete, he had also become familiar with the "Starry Night Haoyun Technique," which would make future cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.

"Master, you said you bear a blood feud. You haven't told me who the enemy is yet?" Ning Tianping suddenly asked.

Mo Lifei sighed and said, "When your strength is sufficient, I will naturally tell you."

Ning Tianping nodded. He also knew that his current strength was too weak, and it was still too early to talk about revenge.

"Master, your disciple and the adult are about to leave for Tongtian Mountain. Why don't you come with us!" Ning Tianping said with a look of anticipation.

Simple-minded Ning Tianping felt that Mo Lifei had been very good to him, and over these days, a considerable bond of master-disciple affection had developed between them.

Now, Mo Lifei had gradually come to accept this apprentice.

As Ye Yuan had said, this apprentice did not disappoint him.

But more importantly, it was his confidence in Ye Yuan!

Hearing Ning Tianping's invitation, Mo Lifei was somewhat tempted, but soon he shook his head and said, "Your master will not go; you two go ahead."

Ye Yuan seemed to read Mo Lifei's mind and took out a ring, saying, "Senior, I have here a Spirit Void Ring, in which you can reside. It would be too cruel for you master and apprentice to part so soon after forming your bond. Moreover, Tianping will need your guidance in his future cultivation."

Mo Lifei's gaze sharpened. "You... you actually have another soul-type profound treasure!"

This ring was also a soul-type Divine Lord profound treasure.

Although compared to the Soul Suppressing Pearl it was not even worth garbage, it was still sufficient for Mo Lifei to reside in.

Mo Lifei was now nothing but a remnant soul, with little vitality left.

He had left many contingencies within this Suppressing Ancient Heaven Gate to preserve his remnant soul, but once he left this place, his vitality would quickly dissipate.

This Spirit Void Ring was indeed a soul-type Divine Lord profound treasure from the Purple Extreme Hall.

Since Ye Yuan had no use for it, giving it to Ning Tianping was quite appropriate.

Ning Tianping was overjoyed at the sight and said, "Haha, excellent! Master, we can leave this wretched place! Rest assured, your disciple will train diligently and strive to help you take revenge as soon as possible!"

Mo Lifei was deeply moved and nodded, "Very well, then your master will reside within this Spirit Void Ring!"

He was astonished inwardly; this young man named Ye Yuan truly held too many secrets.

Although this was merely a Divine Lord profound treasure, soul-type Divine Lord profound treasures were extremely rare.

He had not expected Ye Yuan to possess a second such treasure.

...

Above the wilderness outside the Suppressing Ancient Heaven Gate, the powerful spiritual energy storm gradually dissipated.

Jing Lu looked elated. He had obtained the "Red Light Nine Bright Divine Art," and after leaving, he switched to practicing this technique. Soon he touched the bottleneck of the second level of the Divine Lord realm and directly broke through.

"As expected of Young Master Jing Lu, such talent is truly rare in the world!"

"It's said that he broke through to the first level of Divine Lord less than fifty years ago, and now he's already broken through to the second level!"

"He has obtained a peak fifth-level divine technique this time; he will likely become a peerless expert in the future!"

...

People marveled at Jing Lu's talent. His cultivation speed was indeed too fast, evoking admiration.

Just then, two beams of light shot out from the Town Ancient Heavenly Gate and returned to the spirit circle.

"It's Master Ye Yuan!"

"I heard he went deep into the starry sky this time. I wonder if he obtained a sixth-level divine treasure!"

"Not necessarily! Sixth-level treasures are very rare. Even if they went deep into the starry sky, they might not get one."

...

Many people were speculating about what Ye Yuan had gained.

Jing Lu, however, darkened his face and went up to meet him.

"Ye Yuan, you were putting on airs before, looking down on peak fifth-level techniques. I wonder, what did you get?" Jing Lu sneered.

Ye Yuan could only feel speechless at this arrogant fellow. He said calmly, "What I got is none of your damn business."

Jing Lu was not annoyed. He smiled and said, "Ye Yuan, I challenge you! If you lose, I won't take your treasure. Just show it to everyone. Do you dare?"

Jing Lu was certain that Ye Yuan had obtained some heavy treasure and was afraid to show it for fear of arousing everyone's covetousness.

Now, he wanted to force Ye Yuan to reveal the treasure, drawing everyone's hostility.

He didn't believe no one would be tempted.

How could Ye Yuan fail to see through Jing Lu's little tricks?

He looked at Jing Lu with a half-smile and said, "You've already broken through to the second level of the Divine Lord realm, yet you challenge me, a Return to Void cultivator. Your face is really thick!"

At Ye Yuan's words, sure enough, many people pointed and whispered, showing great disdain for such behavior.

This was blatant bullying!

But Jing Lu was clearly prepared and laughed, "You're no ordinary Return to Void cultivator. Your strength surpasses most first-level Divine Lords, and now that you've obtained a heavy treasure in the Town Ancient Heavenly Gate, it's not impossible for you to fight across another level!"

"This... this is too shameless!"

"Exactly, although we're curious about what treasure Ye Yuan got, such shameless words are still embarrassing!"

"A Return to Void cultivator defeating a first-level Divine Lord across levels is already freakish enough. Defeating a second-level Divine Lord—how is that possible?"

...

Ye Yuan squinted his eyes upon hearing this and said, "Do you really want to know what treasure I got?"

Jing Lu smiled, "Of course! Not just me, I think everyone wants to know. I'm just voicing everyone's thoughts."

Ye Yuan nodded, "In that case, I'll grant your wish!"

Hearing this, Jing Lu couldn't help but reveal a smug smile of having succeeded in his scheme.

He didn't believe that with his current strength, Ye Yuan could still defeat him!

"Make your move!" Jing Lu said confidently.

Ye Yuan smiled, his divine energy surging throughout his body, and soon a mysterious and unfathomable hand seal condensed!

Feeling the terrifying energy fluctuations, Jing Lu's expression changed drastically.

"Nirvana Seal!"

Ye Yuan poured all his divine energy into it and struck out with the seal fiercely!
