Chapter 389: This is Impossible! How Could She Lie to Me?!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

He was very happy now!

He was very happy that he had come to this place, the Heavenly Capital City, and met his nobleman.

Otherwise, who knew how long it would take for him to break through to the Void Realm?

“Senior Ye, when will you give me a few more pointers?!”

Yi Tianming eagerly walked over.

“Scram!”

Ye Changge ignored him and went straight back to his room.

Yi Tianming only chuckled without getting angry. He glanced at Li Miaoling and went back to his room to cultivate.

The day of the arrival of the Great Luo Heavenly Palace was getting closer and closer.

The Star Palace began to prepare. Red brocade tents were set up everywhere, and the atmosphere was peaceful and lively.

In the Star Palace, Mo Yushu sat at the head of the table. An elder stood below him and said, “I wonder what orders the sect master has for me to come here!”

Mo Yushu said, “The Great Luo Heavenly Palace will be here soon. Have you selected the disciples to participate in the competition?”

This was both an engagement party and a friendly competition. The two sects had been fighting openly and secretly for over a hundred years. They all wanted to know which family’s disciples were stronger.

Therefore, before the engagement party, a friendly competition was set up.

Each sect had to elect ten disciples. The lowest was at the Godly Spirit Realm. Then, they would compete on the stage one by one. The one who won the most challenges would be declared the winner.

This competition concerned the reputation of the two sects. No one wanted to jeopardize the pride of their sect in the eyes of the public.

Therefore, the selection of disciples became the most important thing.

The Star Palace attached great importance to this competition. After all, everyone wanted to be the number one sect in the desert.

The elder replied, “I’ve already selected them. They are Ju Wenshi, Bai Yingcai, Xu Weibo, and a few others. They have been cultivating hard recently, and their improvement speed is very fast. I believe that it won’t be a problem for them to accept the challenge.”

“Alright, we must not make any mistakes this time!” Mo Yushu nodded and said, “Is Ye Xingchen still in seclusion?”

At the mention of Ye Xingchen, a proud expression appeared on the elder’s face. To be able to reach the Sage Heaven Realm at such a young age.

It had to be said that he was a genius. In the history of the northern desert, there were very few such geniuses.

The most important thing was that Ye Xingchen was his grandson, which made him gain a lot of respect in the Star Palace.

The other elders looked envious when they saw him. They believed that they would definitely win the final victory in this competition.

Ye Xingchen was already at the peak of the Reincarnation Realm. After this seclusion, he might be able to break through to the early stage of the Sage Heaven Realm. At that time, he would only be one realm lower than the sect master.

It was only a matter of time before he could surpass the sect master in the future. He would definitely be able to become the next sect master of the Star Palace. This was a matter that would glorify the sect.

“Ask him to come and look for me after he comes out of seclusion. I have something to pass to him.”

Mo Yushu left after he finished speaking.

The third elder immediately revealed a pleasantly surprised expression. This time, the Great Luo Heavenly Palace had brought the demon subduing sword with them. During the competition, Bai Zimu would definitely use the demon subduing sword.

This was an Emperor Weapon. With the initial stage of the Sage Heaven Realm, it was extremely terrifying to be able to unleash mid-level strength.

The Great Luo Heavenly Palace also had the Emperor weapon, the Peacock Plume. It could display flames that filled the sky. It was not inferior to the demon-subduing sword.

“The sect leader is giving the peacock plume to Ye Xingchen!”

How could he not be happy?

The peacock plume was the sect leader’s keepsake. It symbolized who would be the next sect leader. Although it was only being borrowed this time, it also revealed a bit of insider information.

They clearly wanted to raise Xingchen as the next sect master. Those who could become elders were all old monsters with nimble minds, so it was easy for them to think of this.

…

At this moment, in the Cloud Heart Courtyard.

While Yi Tianming was cultivating these past few days, he felt a trace of resistance in his body, preventing him from making a breakthrough.

Every time he condensed spiritual energy to break through to the next realm, at the most critical moment, the spiritual energy that he had painstakingly condensed would mysteriously dissipate.

He looked for answers to his many questions, but he still could not find the root of the problem.

He had no choice but to consult Ye Changge. Ye Changge was also very interested after listening to him. After examining him, he found the root of the problem.

In his veins, there was a meridian that was directly sealed by the fire attribute power.

“A meridian seal?”

Yi Tianming was a little stunned. How could his meridians be sealed when he felt that they were perfectly fine?

When was it sealed? Why didn’t he notice it at all?

Could it be that he had not made any progress all these years because his veins had been sealed?

Ye Changge could see his confusion. “The sealing of your meridians will slow down your cultivation speed, making you take longer to break through. As for your previous breakthrough, firstly, it was because you didn’t have enough comprehension of your realm, and secondly, there was a problem with your state of mind.”

Hearing this, Yi Tianming understood.

In the past few years, he had been improving his cultivation through battle. Because of the slow increase in cultivation speed, coupled with the slow passage of time, his state of mind during that period of time had indeed expanded.

However, it was also during that period of time that the spiritual qi in his dantian condensed to an even more solid state. Later on, after he saw how powerful Ye Changge was, through his guidance, his state of mind relaxed, and he successfully broke through.

However, he would then fall into another cycle!

Continuously increasing his strength and condensing true essence, not only would the effect not be great, but it would also deplete his body’s talent.

“Could it be him!?”

He recalled the last time when he was in the Fire Spirit Sect, the Fire Spirit Sect Master had come to talk to him alone, and he had fainted halfway through.

At that time, he had not paid much attention to it, and had thought that it was caused by overtraining and fatigue.

Now, it seemed that it was not that simple. His veins must have been sealed at that time. Moreover, Ye Changge said that the power that sealed his veins had a fire attribute.

Yi Tianming fell silent. Why did he do this?

Could it be that letting him break through the Void Realm and receive Huo Ling’er’s promise was a lie? It was a tactic to delay him.

The goal was to make him give up!

He had already thought of what would have happened next. If he had not met Ye Changge, he would probably still have fallen into a vicious cycle in the process of struggling and doubting himself.

Not to mention breaking through to the peak of the Sage Heaven Realm, perhaps his realm would even fall because of this. In this way, he would never be able to see Huo Ling’er.

“What a ruthless heart!”

He let himself fall into a frenzied state of doubt, and his heart collapsed.

This was completely destroying him.

However, he could not understand the Fire Spirit Sect Master’s motive for doing this. They did not share a deep hatred of each other, so why was the Fire Spirit Sect Master’s methods so vicious?

Or could there be some hidden reason behind this?

At this moment, Yi Tianming suddenly remembered the strange gaze Huo Ling ‘er gave him before he had left. His soul shook, and a bolt of lightning suddenly struck out from the clear sky.

He took three steps back, his face devoid of any color. He muttered, “Impossible, impossible, she wouldn’t do this to me!”
