The dark night was as quiet as water.
Inside the room.
Ye Chen was sitting on the bed with his legs crossed, both of his hands on his knees, meditating. In front of him was the soft and bright moonlight shining through the screen window.
As a mid-rank Earth Realm martial art, the Great Mystery Art's Zhen Qi circulation route was more than ten times more complicated than the Pure Jun Zhen Qi. Many important parts of the Great Mystery Art were twisted and turned, like a dead knot or a mess, which made people completely confused. Currently, if Ye Chen wanted to master the first level of the Great Mystery Art, he had to complete a big circle first, and extract a stream of Great Mystery Zhen Qi.
However, with the complexity of the Great Mystery Art, it was not easy to complete a big circle. At least, Ye Chen was having a headache because of the complicated Zhen Qi circulation route. He didn't dare to be careless, because he was afraid that his Zhen Qi might go astray and cause serious internal injuries.
Sweat was dripping down from his forehead, but Ye Chen didn't notice it at all. His eyes were closed, and his eyebrows were frowning and relaxing, changing several times within a short period of time.
Phew!
After a long time, Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes, and breathed out a mouthful of turbid air with slight tiredness.
"No wonder mid-rank Earth Realm martial arts could become the most powerful martial art in our martial institutions. Even the first level is so hard to master, and it took me half a day of hard work. I wonder how hard it would be to master it to the highest level." In the past, when Ye Chen practiced martial arts, he had made great progress, but this time, he felt that it was quite hard. He didn't dare to be careless with every step, which was extremely exhausting.
The night passed without any words.
In the following half a month, Ye Chen practiced the Great Mystery Art at night, and practiced a low-rank Earth Realm martial art that he got from the Heavenly Dream Ancient Region during the day. Although the days were boring, they were not idle.
…
Another half a month passed.
On the cliff, the sea of clouds was surging.
The silhouette flashed and moved horizontally on the flat ground, like the floating clouds and flowing water, like a ghost. Suddenly, the silhouette split into two and pounced out from two different directions. One of the silhouette's clothes fluttered in the wind, while the other had a dull face and a slightly transparent body. It was obvious that the silhouette was formed by Zhen Qi.
"Split again!"
After a few steps, Ye Chen's body shook, and the second Zhen Qi silhouette dashed out. It looked much more real than the first one, and its Zhen Qi clothes fluttered in the wind.
Three silhouettes, one real and two fake, walked side by side, punched on the cliff together.
Boom!
The fist power poured into the rock wall as Ye Chen jumped back. While he was still in the air, he groaned.
"Zhen!"
The next moment!
The two True Qi silhouettes merged into his body, becoming one with each other.
As his feet landed on the ground, Ye Chen let out a long breath. He lifted his head and saw three deep holes on the wall in front of him. The two holes on the side were half a meter wide and three to four meters deep, while the one in the middle was one meter wide and six meters deep. There was stone powder on the edge.
"Not bad, it has fifty percent of my attacking power!" Ye Chen nodded.
He hadn't reached the highest level of the Separating Shadows Flying Art yet, but it was almost there. Right now, he could already split into two Zhen Qi silhouettes within a short period of time to confuse his enemies. In a fierce fight, because of the fast moving speed of both sides, the human silhouettes were already blurry. Therefore, the sudden appearance of two Zhen Qi silhouettes with attacking power would definitely confuse the enemy's sight and vision, which would be a great surprise.
Apart from this, the speed of the Separating Shadows Flying Art was one level higher than the Crane Shadow Steps. Within a single breath, he could move about three hundred meters, which was even faster than the elders of the Martial Skill Pavilion.
"What a shame, the Mysterious Great Art has stopped at the fifth level, and I can't break into the sixth level yet. But my overall power has improved a lot compared to before."
The Mysterious Great Art was obtained from the Heaven Dream Battle Palace, and it was much more precious than any ordinary mid-rank Earth Realm martial art. Ye Chen had only reached the fifth level, but the quality of his Zhen Qi had already surpassed the peak of the seventh level of the Pure Jun Zhen Qi, and the total quantity of his Zhen Qi was almost the same as the Pure Jun Zhen Qi. It was hard to imagine how powerful his Zhen Qi would be once he reached the sixth level, the seventh level … or even the eleventh level.
Of course, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. The Mysterious Great Art was so powerful, but the difficulty of cultivating it would also be much higher. After a whole month, Ye Chen had barely reached the fifth level, and his overall power had improved a little, but it was not a big improvement.
In the morning, when the first beam of sunlight shone on the ground, Ye Chen murmured, "It's time to see the leader!"
…
On the main road of the Sky Cloud Martial School.
"Head brother!"
"Good morning, Head Brother!"
A group of inner disciples walked towards him, both male and female. The strongest among them was already at the Late Condensing Reality Realm, while the weakest was only at the Early Condensing Reality Realm. Seeing Ye Chen from afar, they all greeted him as' Head Brother 'with great respect.
Ye Chen nodded, but didn't say anything.
After Ye Chen had walked far away, the group of inner disciples started whispering to each other.
"Our Head Brother is now a legendary genius of the Windy Nation. He has mastered the sword intent, stepped into the Clasping Yuan Realm, and severely injured the Multiple Mountain Martial School's Head Elder with a single sword attack. Every single one of these achievements is more than enough to shock the world. He's even more powerful than the four Childes."
"The era of the four Childes is over. Now, among the younger generation of the Windy Nation, there are six most powerful ones: Young Master Emerald, Young Master North Snow, Lynch, Qin Yulian, Xu Jing, and our Head Brother, Ye Chen."
"… …"
Ye Chen didn't hear what the others were talking about. Even if he did, he wouldn't feel proud of himself. Perhaps he was already one of the most powerful people in the Windy Nation, but in the True Spirit Continent, he was still at the bottom. Besides, he always felt that if he stayed in the Sky Cloud Martial School, he would never be able to reach the Astral Reaching Realm, and he would never be able to become one of the most powerful martial artists in the True Spirit Continent.
After all, his dream was not just the Astral Reaching Realm.
Walking around a large number of buildings, Ye Chen arrived in front of a huge palace.
"Brother Ye, this is the Drifting Cloud Palace. Only the inner elders and leaders are allowed to enter." Eight attendants stopped Ye Chen and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.
Ye Chen raised his head and said blandly, "I have something important to discuss with the leader and the inner elders. Please inform them."
"Something important? How important? "The first attendant on the left frowned.
Ye Chen said, "Just tell them that I, Ye Chen, want to leave the Windy Nation to gain more experience."
"Leave the Windy Nation?" The eight attendants widened their eyes. They had already heard about what Ye Chen had done in the Scorching Ancient Desert. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be the leader of the Sky Cloud Martial School in the future. As for Luo Hanshan, although he was the leader's son, he was not powerful enough. Therefore, the leader's position would not be passed on to him.
"Wait a minute, I will inform the leader and the inner elders."
No matter how stupid the attendants were, they knew that this was a big deal, a big deal. How could they dare to neglect it?
Soon, all thirty-six inner elders of the Sky Cloud Martial School showed up. They all had a serious look on their faces. Some attendants who were passing by thought that someone was going to attack the Sky Cloud Martial School.
"Ye Chen, come in with us."
The Head Elder nodded to the attendants, then led Ye Chen into the palace.
The Drifting Cloud Palace was very spacious, it was as spacious as the Floating Cloud Palace. There were thirty-six seats on both sides of the palace, presumably for the inner elders.
"Ye Chen, I heard that you are going to go out to gain more experience."
The First Elder asked anxiously.
Ye Chen nodded, "Yes, Great Elder."
"Sigh, I knew this day would come." The Great Elder sighed. From the first time he met Ye Chen, the Great Elder knew that Ye Chen was no ordinary person. Ye Chen's aspirations and ambitions were so great that they were beyond his imagination. However, he never thought that he would make the decision to train.
There were different kinds of adventures. For a small adventure, it would only be in the Windy Nation or the few neighboring countries, and would not be too far away. It would take at least a couple of months, and at most a year and a half. However, for a big adventure, it would be different. The South Rudra Region and even the entire True Spirit Continent would be included in the adventure. In the hundreds of years of history of the Sky Cloud Martial School, a lot of people had chosen to go out for adventures. However, most of them never came back. No one knew if they were still alive or dead, or if they were still far away from home and did not want to come back.
From Ye Chen's expression, the Head Elder could tell that he was going for a big adventure, and would never come back without making some achievements. In this way, it would mean that he had given up his position as the leader of the Sky Cloud Martial School.
The Fourth Elder was an impatient person, he hurried to say, "Ye Chen, staying in the Sky Cloud Martial School is not bad! With your talent, it is very possible for you to become an Astral Reaching Realm warrior in the future. Our Great Master is also an Astral Reaching Realm warrior. I am sure you can do it as well. "
Ye Chen shook his head, "Head Elder, Fourth Elder, don't worry. During the Hidden Dragon Rank competitions, I will go directly to the competitions. We can still see each other then."
"Let's wait for the leader to come first." The Head Elder was not the Fourth Elder, he knew that it would be useless to persuade him. Otherwise, Ye Chen would not have learned the sword intent. People who had learned the sword intent would always stick to their words. Once they had made up their mind, no one would be able to change their mind.
The thirty six inner masters all sat down, while Ye Chen stood in the middle of the palace.
Soon, the leader of the Sky Cloud Martial School, Luo Xinglie, walked into the palace. He glanced at Ye Chen with a complicated expression, then walked straight to the main seat and sat down.
"Ye Chen, the adventure is a good thing. I wonder, where do you want to go?"
Ye Chen cupped his fists and said, "The South Rudra Region and the True Spirit Continent are all within the range of the adventure. I will make a decision according to the situation."
Luo Xinglie and everyone else gasped. The South Rudra Region was already huge enough, and he still wanted to go out of the South Rudra Region, although there was still no sign of it yet.
Waving his hand, Luo Xinglie told Ye Chen not to be so formal, he said, "You are one of the most talented martial geniuses since the founding of our Sky Cloud Martial School. No one has ever surpassed you. Theoretically, once I reach the Astral Reaching Realm, the leader's position will be yours, and it will not be given to my son, Luo Hanshan. Do you know that?"
Ye Chen thought that the True Spirit Continent was just like those Wuxia novels he had read before, where the leader's position would mostly be given to their own descendants or relatives. It would be extremely difficult for outsiders to inherit the position. Even if there were, it would be very rare.
However, he was not interested in power. The leader's position of the Ye family and the leader's position of the Sky Cloud Martial School were not his dream. His dream was to travel around this strange world and become a top warrior step by step. Everything else was just a dream, and he would not care about it.
"Leader, I have decided to go out for the adventure. Xu Jing is more than enough for the Sky Cloud Martial School. But of course, if the Sky Cloud Martial School is in trouble, Ye Chen will come back immediately no matter where he is."
The other inner masters started to discuss. Someone disagreed, "Ye Chen, the outside world is indeed colorful and full of powerful warriors. But you have to know, how many people have died in the adventure? I do not want to see a rare martial genius of the Sky Cloud Martial School fall. "
"Master Gao is right. Ye Chen, you have to think twice!"
Hearing him, Luo Xinglie stared at Ye Chen without blinking. He hoped that Ye Chen would give up on the adventure. As for the small adventure, he did not really care.
