1538 The Path to Legend (1/2)

After a while, Master Ju suddenly said, ”The kid didn't use any forbidden magic to improve himself, did he? He must be eager to improve himself as fast as he could. Is it possible that he made some forbidden dan beads to forcibly raise himself up in cultivation? Is that why he could improve so fast within only a few days? Well, we know some of the forbidden martial arts, but we also know what damage they would bring to a cultivator…”

Master Guan humphed and coldly said, ”Save that stupid theory to yourself! We all know what it means to use forbidden martial arts and medicines. Of course, it can help a cultivator improve fast, but it also damages the cultivator's cultivation foundation. Look at the kid. Do you see anything wrong? No! He is good! His spiritual energy is going inside him, which means he has a stronger foundation than what he currently needs! Don't you see that? Really?”

Master Ju wanted to argue, but he knew Master Guan was right so he gave up.

Master Song started to talk, ”Old Guan, I think the young man could have been hiding his true power. This is too astonishing… This is unbelievably fast…” He just couldn't believe it. However, after that, he said, ”No. It can't be. I was close enough to him, and I am sure he was just a Faery Origin Stage cultivator. He can't hide from me… It is impossible…” After that, he started to laugh at himself.

Master Guan looked at Master Yun and said in a deep voice, ”Hey, old man. Yun. What is your opinion? Any strange possibility?”

”Well, look…” Master Yun, who was always calm and steady, rubbed his eyes and said, ”I think… Maybe we didn't see the truth of him… What do you think?”

The other three old men looked at him with a sneer in their eyes.

'The four of us made such a stupid mistake at the same time? Come on… Anyone of us couldn't make that mistake!'

…

Ten days after…

The four old men were having tea, and suddenly, something astonished them again…

”Oh, old masters, you are having tea here… That smells really good!” Ye Xiao pushed open the door and walked into the room.

”You… Pah!”

The four old men were going to say something, but when they saw Ye Xiao, they all spat out the hot tea!

They started to sweat heavily!

”Cough, cough, cough…” The four old men started to cough, and Ye Xiao was shocked.

The four old men coughed too hard, and Ye Xiao felt like they were going to choke.

'What is wrong with these old men? Why do they cough? Have they all taken ill together? What is the problem?'

Ye Xiao was confused. 'What is going on?' He walked to the back of Master Guan and gently tapped his back, trying to be caring.

Perhaps he was pretending, but at least he looked pretty sincere.

Master Guan felt good about it, and the awkwardness was gone.

The other three old men looked at Master Guan like they were going to kill him. 'Humph! Old bastard is gloating! I hope he will accidentally kill you on your back!'

”I am fine. Don't worry.” The four old men were experienced. They grabbed the cups and drank tea, trying to stop coughing. However, it only made them cough even worse…

Ye Xiao's face was shaking. 'What is going on? Is it even possible that they got the same problem at the same time?'

'It doesn't make sense!'

Well, the four old men's hearts were beating fast. They felt their hearts twisted.

'Oh heavens… What have we seen? How did he do this?'

'He is actually at level one of the Divinity Origin Stage now!'

'The cultivation foundation is solid. The spiritual energy is going inside him. I don't see an end to the improvement! How come?'

'Holy heavens…'

'This is unbelievable!'

'It doesn't make sense!'

The four old men said something to go through the motions and then saw Ye Xiao off, and then they all looked solemn.

”This is not right. We have to discuss it.” Master Guan gritted his teeth and it seemed to be painful.

”We have to get the other two old guys out this time. They have been pretending to be indifferent!” Master Yun seemed to be annoyed. ”I don't understand how they could be so calm! Don't they understand what we are dealing with now? Don't they? Don't they?”

Ten days after, the four old men were waiting for a message. They were concerned with Ye Xiao's current situation. When Ye Xiao left the Hall of Life and Death, they would focus on him with all their spiritual minds…

Ye Xiao had improved greatly but was still much weaker than the four old men, so he didn't know they were watching him secretly!

”He did it again! He had a breakthrough again…” Master Ju was rubbing his beard, but after checking on Ye Xiao, his hands started shaking, and he accidentally pulled off some hairs on his beard… That was painful, but he didn't have time to care about it. His voice turned sharp and he spoke like a rooster.

”Level two of the Divinity Origin Stage… That is level two of the Divinity Origin Stage… How is this possible…?”

Master Song jumped up in shock. The air around him started to flow fast, and the tea-table before him fell to the floor.

”That is… That is unbelievable…”

”He is a monster! He is definitely a monster…”

Another ten days later, it was the last day of the month.

Ye Xiao casually walked out of the Hall of Life and Death as usual. He felt pretty good because he just saved a powerful assassin who was dying. When the assassin left, he told Ye Xiao that he would come back to join him soon!

Maybe Ye Xiao liked assassins. He was happy to have one more assassin as his follower. It was reasonable though. When he was in the Land of Han-Yang, all those who swore loyalty to him were assassins in the beginning. Ning Biluo, Zhao Pingtian, and Liu Changjun were all top-class assassins in the world. It was understandable that he liked assassins!

Most importantly, this assassin was a Saint Origin Stage cultivator!

The Monarch's Hall was going to have one more Saint Origin Stage cultivator, a powerful assassin!

He was so happy, and that was why he kept a big smile on his face…

When he left the fortress of trees and the array formation was closed, somebody started to watch him.

The four old men, who were having tea under the tree almost passed out when they saw Ye Xiao!

He was in level four of the Divinity Origin Stage!

They had noticed how unbelievably fast Ye Xiao was improving about ten days earlier, so they decided to stay around the Hall of Life and Death after that because it was easier for them to watch the young man.

They wanted to know how surprising the young man could be. When they saw Ye Xiao, even though they knew it would be shocking, they were still astonished.

'We have seen many talented men in our lives!'

'We are old enough to see all kinds of geniuses! We know how fast a cultivator can improve! We know the world's most talented man, the most powerful itinerant cultivator in the world!'
