Everything was silent and the world was silent.
Ye Xuan sat cross-legged in the void as the Heaven's Burial Technique surged in his body. Wisps of gray light circulated around him and a terrifying fluctuation was faintly released.
After devouring Li Zhiwei's Blood Soul Essence, Ye Xuan's Heaven's Burial Technique had obviously improved. Although the improvement was not obvious, it was an excellent signal for Ye Xuan.
Whoosh!
Ye Xuan spat out a mouthful of turbid air, instantly causing the void to explode and recover. Ye Xuan also slowly opened his eyes at this moment.
"Li Zhiwei's cultivation is indeed extremely rich. It's a pity that I didn't have enough time." Ye Xuan murmured.
After devouring Li Zhiwei's cultivation and refining the most original power for him to absorb, not only had his Heaven's Burial Technique become purer, but Ye Xuan's cultivation had also undergone an earth-shattering change. The power in his body was like a vast river that surged endlessly.
However, Ye Xuan still had not truly stepped into the Creation Realm!
It was not that Ye Xuan could not step into the Creation Realm, but Ye Xuan had suppressed his cultivation to the peak of the Nine Heavens Saint King Realm and did not allow himself to step into this realm.
As everyone knew, if a person stepped into the Creation Realm, he would attract the Creation Divine Tribulation. This Creation Divine Tribulation was extremely terrifying and was as famous as the Chaos Divine Tribulation. If one could not overcome it, they would turn into ashes and die. The danger was definitely much higher than the Chaos Divine Tribulation.
If Ye Xuan stepped into the Creation Realm, the Creation Divine Tribulation would descend. If Ye Xuan guessed correctly, his Creation Divine Tribulation would not be that simple. It would definitely be extremely terrifying.
Back then, he had undergone a variant Chaos Divine Tribulation. Ye Xuan was extremely sure that his Creation Divine Tribulation would also undergo a variant. However, at this moment, he did not have the time to undergo the tribulation.
Therefore, Ye Xuan chose to suppress his cultivation to the peak of the Nine Heavens Saint King in order to prevent the Creation Divine Tribulation from descending at this moment. This was because it wasn't the time for him to transcend his tribulation yet. He would only attract his own Creation Divine Tribulation when the time came.
Even though he had not stepped into Blessed Realm, after devouring Li Zhiwei's cultivation, the power in Ye Xuan's body had increased qualitatively. It could not be compared to before, and this was something that Ye Xuan felt gratified about.
Most importantly, Ye Xuan had his own plans for suppressing his own cultivation. He had a faint plan in his heart, and perhaps this Creation Divine Tribulation would be able to help him at the most critical moment.
As for what Ye Xuan was thinking, only he knew.
"Sigh!"
When Ye Xuan came back to his senses, he looked indifferently at the pool of blood on the ground. His heart was filled with complex emotions about Li Zhiwei's death.
It was not that Ye Xuan pitied Li Zhiwei, but after seeing Li Zhiwei's death, Ye Xuan truly recognized the cruelty of this world.
Li Zhiwei was also considered a genius. Otherwise, she would not have been able to become the second Spiritual Son of the Ten Thousand Spirit Heavenly Palace. However, in the end, she was still defeated by Earth Demon Luo and became a stepping stone for others.
Ye Xuan understood one thing very well. The Great Tongtian Path was rugged and difficult to traverse. Only by stepping on the bones of others could one reach the top of the chaotic Nine Heavens and become the supreme existence that dominated the chaotic universe.
Li Zhiwei gave Ye Xuan a wake-up call. No matter if you were a peerless heaven's pride or an eternal genius, if you could not defeat the enemies of the heavens, you would eventually become the bones under the feet of others.
This path was rugged and difficult to traverse. There was no way out because taking a step back would lead to a bottomless abyss, which would lead to a tragic death.
"Li Zhiwei, you can go in peace. I will fulfill my promise to you. If you still have an afterlife, then be an ordinary person and don't get involved in the disputes of this world." Ye Xuan let out a long sigh as he strode away from Li Zhiwei's residence.
… …
"Li Zhiwei has transformed into the Dao."
In the Green Wood Pavilion, Ye Xuan said indifferently. The Heavenly Grip Hall Master and others were slightly startled. In the next moment, their expressions returned to normal. There was not the slightest ripple on their faces.
No one felt sorry for Li Zhiwei's death. It was as if the death of an insignificant ant. Because he was just a cripple. If he died, then so be it. He was simply insignificant.
"The world has been destroyed and there is no future. Perhaps death is a kind of relief for him." Violet Spirit sighed softly.
"He's just a cripple. It's too easy for him to apologize with his death." Yuan Tian said contemptuously.
"It's good that he died. Otherwise, when he returned to the Ten Thousand Spirit Heavenly Palace, he would have to go to the Heavenly Capital Court. Now, he doesn't have to suffer like this." The Heavenly Grip Hall Master said indifferently.
"Little Nine, now you are the only one among the four Spirit Sons who has advanced. Are you confident in the top four battle after a thousand years?" The Heavenly Grip Hall Master changed the topic and looked at Ye Xuan with slight expectation.
"I will do my best." Ye Xuan said calmly.
"I see that the Extreme Emotion Heavenly Palace's method is ineffective against you. If your next opponent is Ji Zhangliu and you can defeat him, when you return to the Ten Thousand Spirit Heavenly Palace, you can replace Li Zhiwei as the second Spirit Son." The Heavenly Grip Hall Master said earnestly.
"Little Brother, this time it's all up to you." Violet Spirit was also cheering for Ye Xuan.
Looking at the expectant eyes of the Heavenly Grip Hall Master and others, Ye Xuan nodded slightly, but no one knew what he was thinking.
…
Time was the most ruthless thing. It could heal all scars and make people forget too much of the past.
Therefore, some people said that time was the best medicine. It could cure all the pain in the world and make a person's heart completely calm.
A thousand years passed in a flash.
When Ye Xuan came out of seclusion, his temperament was a little different, but no one could tell what the difference was.
It was also on this day that the top four battle really began.
Dong — Dong — Dong!
The sound of the drums came, and the sound of the mountains and the sea was rippling. People from all sects entered the arena one after another, which meant that the Talents' Grand Gathering had begun again. Today's top four battle would be wonderful.
"The four contestants, please come to the stage to draw lots."
With the voice of the Green Wood Pavilion Master, the top four contestants stepped onto the arena one after another to determine their next opponents.
At this moment.
The Heavenly Grip Hall Master and others were a little nervous. They hoped that Ye Xuan would draw Ji Zhangliu, which might give them a chance to win. If he was matched against Liu Baiyi and Earth Demon Luo, they were afraid that Ye Xuan would lose without a doubt.
There was an old saying that the more you fear, the more likely it will happen. When Ye Xuan unfolded the paper in his hand, it was Earth Demon Luo from the Devouring Demonic Palace.
"Hehe."
Suddenly, a burst of light laughter came.
"God is really looking after me. My next opponent is actually you." Earth Demon Luo stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Ye Xuan.
Unfortunately, Ye Xuan didn't respond, as if he was treating Earth Demon Luo as air. This made Earth Demon Luo's face turn cold, and a cruel smile appeared on his face.
"The first battle, Yao Yueye from the Myriad Spirit Palace versus Earth Demon Luo from the Devouring Demonic Palace."
As the Green Wood Pavilion Master announced the first battle, Liu Baiyi and Ji Zhangliu left the arena, leaving only Ye Xuan and Earth Demon Luo in the arena.
