Chapter 272 - Soaring Through The Clouds, The Number One Person In The Nine Provinces (1/2)

Ye Xiao nodded. In the next moment, Beitang Ce cupped his hands towards the darkness in front of him and said,

"Beitang Ce pays his respects to the Venerable White Tiger. May I trouble the Venerable White Tiger to appear and bestow the White Tiger token upon him?"

A moment later, a figure slowly walked out from the darkness.

She had a head of short, beautiful hair, exquisite facial features, and a perfect figure. The upper half of her body was covered with sleeveless fur, while the lower half of her body was wearing a gray short skirt and gray leggings.

If one were to purely look at her appearance, she was the kind of slim and delicate beauty.

A woman with a very feminine flavor that made people filled with a desire to conquer her.

She held a bottle of high-quality spiritual wine in her hand and gulped down a mouthful. With a gaze that was 70 percent sharp and 30 percent flirtatious, she glanced sideways at Ye Xiao.

"Little brat, you're quite arrogant. In all these years, you're the first person to break through the spiritual energy barrier so quickly, and also the first person to dare to use force to directly break through the spirit energy barrier.

"However, this venerable self's White Tiger token isn't so easy to obtain.

"If you want to obtain this venerable self's White Tiger token, it's useless to rely solely on your good-looking face."

Ye Xiao pondered for a moment before taking out a bottle of wine made by Earth Immortal Weng's ginseng beard and honey mixed with deer blood, deer antler from his storage ring. It was a spiritual wine brewed from all sorts of good things.

The corners of the White Tiger's mouth curled up slightly.

"You're quite smart. You know how to use the thing this venerable self can't resist the most to seduce this venerable self. Unfortunately, although this venerable self loves wine like her life, her requirements for the wine itself are also extremely strict.

"Just with this small bottle of yours. Isn't it a bit too whimsical to want to take this venerable self down?"

However, just as she finished speaking, in the next second, Ye Xiao pulled out the cork of the bottle.

The fragrance of the wine spread in the air. The venerable White Tiger took a fierce sniff, and in the next second, she raised two fingers.

"Add two more bottles."

Ye Xiao took out two more bottles, along with the previous bottle, and threw them directly at the venerable White Tiger.

After Venerable White Tiger received the spiritual wine, she threw the White Tiger token in her hand to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao took the White Tiger token and walked straight to Heaven's Gate.

Venerable White Tiger retreated to the side and enjoyed the fine wine that Ye Xiao had contributed. Beitang Ce did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"Venerable one, didn't you just say that you wouldn't give him the White Tiger token just because of wine?"

"I only said that one bottle wouldn't do, but he gave me three bottles."

"..."

Venerable White Tiger drank a mouthful of spiritual wine and looked at Ye Xiao's back with great interest.

"Moreover, with his aptitude, there's a high chance that he'll be able to pass the test of the dragon vein. At that time, his strength will increase a little, and it will be beneficial to our Nine Provinces. How can I not agree?

"However, passing is still passing.

"How do I pass? How long will it take to pass? These are all questions that he must face seriously.

"The less time he has to pass, it means that the dragon vein is more satisfied with him. The longer he has to pass, it means that the dragon vein doesn't really care about him.

"Therefore, this will also ultimately affect the benefits that the dragon vein will give him."

Beitang Ce let out a faint sigh. Looking at Ye Xiao's back, he clenched his fists and silently cheered for Ye Xiao in his heart.

'Ye Xiao, you must do your best! It's not easy for a heaven-defying genius like you to appear in the Nine Provinces! You must succeed!'

Ye Xiao came to the front of Heaven's Gate and placed the Black Tortoise token and the White Tiger token into the groove on the door.

There were four grooves, which corresponded to the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise respectively. However, only two of them were needed to open the Heaven's Gate.

After Ye Xiao placed the two imprints into it, a thick and heavy sound was heard.

Crack... Creak...

It was as if as time passed, the joints of the bronze door seemed to have rusted.

After the door was pushed open, a narrow and simple stone path was reflected in Ye Xiao's eyes.

Dense spiritual energy rushed towards him like a tidal wave. That refreshing feeling made all the pores on Ye Xiao's body involuntarily open up.

'Is this the Heavenly Stairway?'

Ye Xiao took a glance. It went straight to the clouds. At the end of the clouds, there seemed to be a majestic dragon shadow overlooking the area below.

Streams of dragon pressure were released from its body, attempting to completely suppress Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao's gaze was indifferent and unperturbed.

Although he was an ant, he faced the sky without the slightest bit of retreat.

At that moment, there were already many martial arts experts rushing over from below. However, due to the presence of the venerable White Tiger, they did not dare to act rashly. They could only watch from afar and did not dare to approach.

"Look quickly, the Heaven's Gate has already been opened. That brat is about to begin ascending the Heavenly Stairway."

"I wonder how his performance is? Can he break the records of the predecessors that shocked the Nine Provinces?"

"It's difficult! Since ancient times, how many talented monsters have appeared in our Nine Provinces? Which one of them who came to the Changbai dragon vein is not a King realm martial artist?

"They were all outstanding people.

"But in the end, wasn't there still someone who failed the challenge? To be able to reach the top was already very impressive. If you still want to occupy the top few places and challenge those rare talents that are rarely seen in a hundred years, I'm afraid you will be rejected!"

There were all sorts of opinions. There were expectations, laments, conjectures, and people who felt that they were rational.

After all, the Changbai dragon vein could be considered one of the top dragon veins in the Nine Provinces.

Hence, from ancient times until now, those who came here to challenge the dragon vein were also famous existences in the Nine Provinces.

Everyone had not known who Ye Xiao was that day.
