Chapter 583: Darkness Under the Light? [3rd Update]
Divinity Continent, East State, Taiyi Sword Sect.
Atop the Main Peak Hall.
The returning Ye Luo once again gathered many fellow disciples of the Wayless Sect.
Ye Luo first inquired about the whereabouts of the Respected Master, and upon learning that the Respected Master was out, he did not ask further.
Instead, he began to recount to the many disciples everything he had witnessed overseas.
At the same time, he also spoke of the conflict between the New and Old Heavenly Dao, the responsibilities he bore, and so on.
As these issues were brought up,
they caused the fellow disciples to widen their eyes in amazement.
Little did they imagine that their world held so many secrets.
"A clash between the New and Old Heavenly Dao, with the battle's outcome determined by individuals from two different eras? Are we the new era? Then what about the Respected Master?"
"People from the old era want to trigger the Catastrophic Tribulation, so that's why there have been attempts on our lives, we carry the fate of the world, and if we are attacked, the balance of the world would be destroyed, leading to the Catastrophic Tribulation? What a scheme!"
"So many secrets, the outside world is so terrifying, and I haven't yet broken through to the Mahayana Realm, it's so hard for me..."
The many disciples chimed in one after another.
Immediately, the entire hall became lively.
"Everyone, quiet down a bit."
Ye Luo spoke softly.
His voice carried no Mana,
but the dignity inherent in the position of the eldest senior brother was always present.
Hearing the eldest senior brother speak, the other disciples also quieted down, waiting for Ye Luo to continue.
Seeing this,
Ye Luo nodded slightly.
He stood up from his seat, hands clasped behind his back, exuding a detached and transcendental aura akin to that of an immortal,
his resemblance to Chu Yuan growing ever more pronounced.
With the aura of an immortal about him,
he seemed like an exiled celestial being.
Yet within this immortal aura of his, a resolute Sword Intent was interwoven, truly extraordinary.
He spoke softly, addressing his fellow disciples.
"Firstly, there's no need to worry about the Respected Master. The Heavenly Dao has personally stated that our Wayless Sect belongs to the new era, and the Respected Master is certainly part of the new era as well."
"Though it is clear the Respected Master is from the old era, we do not know why he would have an old era's identity and still merge into the new era. Of course, these are not matters we ought to ponder."
"Furthermore, regarding the issue of being unable to break through to the Mahayana Realm, with the New Heaven and Earth now uplifted, our realm's limit is no longer the Mahayana Realm. There are also no more slot restrictions for the Mahayana Realm, and anyone who wishes to break through can do so."
Ye Luo spoke thus.
Listened to by his fellow disciples,
the disciples of the Wayless Sect were all suddenly enlightened.
No more restrictions on breaking through to the Mahayana Realm?
The disciples present had at least reached the Tribulation Transcending Stage,
with most being at the Half-Step Great Vehicle Realm.
They had all been worrying about how to break through to the Mahayana Realm.
Without the ascension of Ye Luo and Su Qianyuan, they would never have had the chance.
But now, with the restrictions lifted, they all had the opportunity to break through.
"Junior brothers and sisters, now that breaking through the Mahayana Realm no longer has restrictions, I hope you can achieve it quickly. The enemies we face are exceptionally strong, and relying solely on me may not be enough to withstand them. You need to hurry."
Ye Luo looked at his fellow disciples very seriously and said.
He had realized this during the Divine Sense battle at sea last time.
If it were a one-on-one battle of attrition, he could win.
But against two opponents, he simply couldn't cope.
However, he believed that once his fellow disciples grew stronger, they would undoubtedly be no weaker than him.
By then, their chance of winning would be much greater.
"Big senior brother, rest assured, now that there are no restrictions on breaking through the Mahayana Realm, I'll be able to do it soon."
Zhang Han laughed outright, feeling that he was the biggest winner of this Heavenly uplift, as he was only a small step away from the Mahayana Realm.
"Second senior brother, you're finally going to break through to the Mahayana Realm?"
Su Qianyuan silently moved behind Zhang Han, revealing a trace of the aura belonging to the Mahayana Realm.
Zhang Han: "..."
He was now feeling an extreme disgust towards Su Qianyuan.
That guy, he was just like a madman.
Nowadays, he did nothing all day but to follow him around, flaunting that Mahayana Realm aura, clearly mocking him.
It made him feel like vomiting.
Had he been at the Mahayana Realm, he would have been unable to resist beating this guy up.
The many fellow disciples watching Su Qianyuan and Zhang Han all shook their heads, too indifferent to bother.
The grudges and feuds between these two couldn't be explained in just a word or two.
"Big senior brother, do you know where those people from the old era are located?"
Su Xi looked at Ye Luo and asked.
"This... I'm not quite sure, but I know the general direction, what's up?"
Ye Luo asked in confusion.
He remembered that this junior sister was at the Half-Step Great Vehicle Realm, right?
Someone at the Half-Step Great Vehicle Realm might not be able to play any significant role.
So what was this fifth junior sister asking this for?
"If there's a precise location, then I could deploy a puppet to test the foundation of those people from the old era, and if there's a chance, I could even try to use a puppet to stir up a catastrophe,"
Su Xi muttered.
Upon hearing this.
Ye Luo was stunned for a moment.
Use... a puppet to stir up a catastrophe?
He suddenly remembered how this junior sister almost caused a continental civil war in Zhongzhou.
If she really found the continent of the other side, it seemed there was indeed a slight possibility that she could cause some trouble?
Ye Luo pondered the thought.
But suddenly.
He felt a burning sensation in his brow.
Ye Luo couldn't help but cover his forehead with his hand.
He couldn't quite understand what was happening.
The next moment, a piece of information came through, and he instantly understood.
The people from the old era were planning to open a spatial passage in Divinity Continent, to invade Divinity Continent.
"Stop messing around, they have made their move. Get ready to take action."
Ye Luo said in a statement.
Immediately, his Divine Sense surged like a vast ocean, spreading out wildly, and in the blink of an eye, it covered the entire continent.
He carefully watched over Divinity Continent.
Should any place show signs of trouble, he would arrive in an instant with many disciples from the Wayless Sect and suppress that area.
His Divine Sense covered the continent for a second, two seconds... one incense stick period, two incense stick periods.
No changes were forthcoming.
Divinity Continent was calm.
In many places, cultivators were fighting, but these were internal disputes, with no signs of foreign invaders.
Just as Ye Luo was wondering if the Heavenly Dao was mistaken.
His Divine Sense incidentally swept over the Taiyi Sword Sect.
At that moment, he was dumfounded.
Well, what do you know?
He just went, "Well, what do you know?"
A spatial passage appeared right above the gateway of his Taiyi Sword Sect.
They opened a spatial passage right in the face of his sect's gate.
This was way too outrageous.
Aside from the Wayless Sect and the Aspiring Path Sect, his Taiyi Sword Sect was arguably the strongest on the entire Divinity Continent, right?
Yet, they chose to face his sect and open a spatial passage.
Was this underestimating him, or was it an attempt to 'hide in plain sight'?
In any case, Ye Luo was genuinely startled by the audacity of the old era people.
They really knew how to play...
