After Feng Yunyang's arm was cleaved off by Yi Yun, Yi Yun's standing in the Myriad God Ridge suddenly changed. Many people began to fear Sunken Moon Tower. It was a place that they could not afford to offend. Countless people had suffered in front of Yi Yun.
However, with the passage of time, people did not expect Yi Yun to be taken in as a personal disciple by the patriarch. Instead, Yi Yun's freedom of entry and exit was restricted. There were special enforcement teams that patrolled Sunken Moon Tower, preventing Yi Yun from entering as he pleased.
This change baffled many people. What was the patriarch up to? He did not punish Yi Yun, nor did he make him his last disciple. Instead, he grounded Yi Yun.
Instead, it was Feng Yunyang, who everyone thought had been completely defeated by Yi Yun and whose confidence had crumbled, that the Myriad God Ridge's sect master used large amounts of natural treasures to reattach his severed arm. He was then bedridden all this time to recuperate.
But two months later, Feng Yunyang had mostly recovered. He was still the patriarch's disciple and his status had not changed.
As for Yi Yun, he remained an ordinary personal disciple. He was not favored by the sect master. The Myriad God Sect Master's attitude towards Yi Yun was obvious. Yi Yun had brutally beaten Feng Yunyang and was grounded. The Myriad God Sect Master did not even meet Yi Yun once, as though he was not his disciple.
"From the looks of it, Yi Yun is not trusted …"
Some Elders discussed in private. In terms of talent, Yi Yun was naturally the best in the Myriad God Ridge. However, not only was he not valued, he was even being strictly watched. The only explanation was that Yi Yun was not trusted by the sect master and the Myriad God Patriarch.
"I wonder why the sect master doesn't trust Yi Yun. Perhaps Yi Yun's killing intent is too strong. Not only did he kill Song Bowen and Zhang Wuchen, he even brutally beat Feng Yunyang. He smacked the patriarch in the face, so the patriarch naturally doesn't like it."
"It's a little odd. If he isn't trusted, he could be expelled from the sect. But Yi Yun is grounded in Sunken Moon Tower. What's going on? "
Some people thought of this point, but the more they thought about it, the more they felt that Yi Yun was in a bad situation. Could it be that the Sect Master and Patriarch did not trust Yi Yun, and felt that if they expelled Yi Yun from the sect, they would offend Yi Yun? Offending a monster would not end well, so they decided to place Yi Yun under house arrest forever?
People could not figure out the patriarch and sect master's thoughts, so they decided not to think about it. However, there was no doubt that Yi Yun would not be able to gain power in the Myriad God Ridge anytime soon. Those who had offended Yi Yun heaved a sigh of relief. At least they would not be held accountable by Yi Yun.
Time flowed by, and this period of time became extremely peaceful.
Yi Yun did not mind being grounded at all. He cultivated daily to consolidate his fifth-storey Dao Palace foundation.
The Dao Palace Realm required the accumulation of time. Many peerless geniuses would spend hundreds of years in the Dao Palace Realm, even deliberately suppressing their cultivation.
However, from Yi Yun's point of view, deliberately suppressing one's cultivation level was likely due to one's lack of confidence in one's nomological insights. One wanted to use more time to mend one's laws. Yi Yun had condensed four nine-leaf Dao fruits at the Dao Manifestation realm. In terms of laws, he was already perfected. As long as he accumulated enough, he would naturally make a breakthrough.
"Yi Yun, I have no idea what Myriad God Patriarch is up to recently. I can't probe his situation either."
One day, Old Snake suddenly appeared. It was as though he had appeared out of thin air in Yi Yun's cultivation chamber.
"What's wrong?"
"That undying old fart, Myriad God Patriarch, has used an array formation to screen off his residence. Even my perception is unable to penetrate it. If I were to forcefully barge in, he would definitely sense it."
Old Snake revealed a rare solemn expression. Yi Yun did not reply. If Old Snake could not do a thing, he naturally could not.
Old Snake sat down on Yi Yun's stone bed and took out his alcohol calabash. As he drank, he said, "I have a nagging feeling that he's plotting something, but I can't figure it out. He has grounded you. Perhaps he will attack you in the near future. If you continue staying in the Myriad God Ridge, you might be in danger."
Old Snake said frankly. He was not a hundred percent confident that he could protect Yi Yun.
Yi Yun pondered slightly. "Senior, do you think you can fight Myriad God Patriarch head-on?"
Upon hearing Yi Yun's words, Old Snake swirled the alcohol in his calabash. After a long while, he let out a long sigh and said, "My strength is not what you imagine it to be. You probably believe that I have profound strength but am deliberately hiding it. In fact, you are wrong. There are limits to my attacks."
"I was once heavily injured and the strength in my body was sealed. If I were to attack, I would first have to unseal my strength. The more I unseal, the stronger I can produce. However, the damage to my body would also be greater. If I were to unseal sixty to seventy percent of my strength, no one in the Myriad God Ridge, or even the entire Calm Sea, would be my match. However, the damage to my body would be extremely great. It might even cause me to fall into a deep slumber. I try my best not to use my strength or I won't have much of my lifespan left."
When Old Snake said that, he drank a mouthful of strong alcohol and wiped his mouth. He had experienced a long period of time and had a past that no one knew of. The nonchalant mention of 'heavily injured' left Yi Yun stunned. Who had severely injured Old Snake?
This was the first time he was hearing Old Snake mention his past in such a serious manner.
Yi Yun never expected that Old Snake had ended up in such a state because of his heavy injuries. But even so, he was able to reign supreme in the Calm Sea by unsealing most of his strength. What sort of figure would he be if he was at his peak?
On careful recall, Yi Yun remembered that the first time he met Old Snake, he was curious about the old fellow's cultivation level and suspected that he was acting weak. Therefore, he used the Purple Crystal Origins's energy vision to look at Old Snake's body.
He discovered that Old Snake's cultivation level could not be any worse. The only difference was that there was a blob of gray energy in his body. However, Yi Yun was unable to identify what the gray energy was.
From the looks of it, the gray energy was related to Old Snake's experiences.
The reason why Old Snake led such a reclusive life was probably largely related to the injuries he had suffered.
As he had sealed his strength, he was usually an old hooligan with average strength. No one would look him in the eye. In addition, Old Snake had been through a lot, so his state of mind would not be affected by trivial matters. As a result, he spent his days wandering the world. He did not care that the territory of the tiny sect he established had been snatched away by others.
Yi Yun said, "Senior, if you can defeat Myriad God Patriarch in a short period of time and the price you pay is acceptable, why don't you take action now and directly kill Myriad God Patriarch to obtain the Ascending Dragon Cauldron?"
Old Snake shook his head and said, "The Ascending Dragon Cauldron does not belong to Myriad God Patriarch to begin with. Even if I kill him, I won't be able to take the Ascending Dragon Cauldron away. Besides, that undying old fart has been studying the Ascending Dragon Cauldron for a million years. He knows more than me. In addition, he has the entire Myriad God Ridge to gather all the resources he needs. To truly activate the Ascending Dragon Cauldron, I'm afraid that undying old fart will have to do it."
"I'm only here to exhort you. If you do not wish to be embroiled in this mess, I'll send you away now. After all, I have no idea what that old bastard is up to."
Old Snake gave Yi Yun a piece of advice.
Yi Yun fell silent for a moment before shaking his head.
It was obviously easy to leave but he did not wish to do so. He had a vague feeling that the divine artifact that involved the twelve Dao Ancestors was probably related to the secrets of the world. If he left today, he would probably miss out on a lot of things.
"Hehe! Kid, I actually guessed that you wouldn't be leaving before I came. "Old Snake suddenly laughed as he drank his alcohol.
"Senior, since you guessed it, why are you asking me?"
"I'm just letting you be mentally prepared so that you won't blame me for harming you. Don't worry, you're someone Chen Xue entrusted to me. I'll protect you even if I have to use half of my strength. At the very least, I'll be able to collect your corpse."
As Old Snake spoke, he lost his sense of propriety.
Yi Yun shook his head speechlessly. However, since Old Snake said that he could defeat Myriad God Patriarch in a head-on battle, it was unlikely that there would be any major problems.
"Kid, I'll leave this mark with you."
As Old Snake spoke, he raised his hand to produce a seal and produced a stream of light that entered Yi Yun's body.
"If you encounter any danger, the mark will immediately disintegrate. I will sense it. In fact, I have been constantly locking onto your Sunken Moon Tower with my perception. Leaving a mark in your body is just a precaution."
As Old Snake spoke, his figure flashed and he vanished from the chamber.
Yi Yun looked at the stone bed where Old Snake had vanished and took a deep breath. A storm was brewing!
