Disciples of the Great Emperor novel - Chapter 7
No one applauded as the old man announced the results.
There were only shocked expressions on everyone’s faces.
Li He of the Martial Hall was one of the top figures in the Martial Hall and had been roped in by countless aristocratic families and dynasties. He had once killed people several times above his level.
He had actually lost to an unknown Ye Qiubai.
Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that Ye Qiubai was very relaxed the entire time, as if he had not used his full strength at all.
The Dean, Qin Tiannan, smiled from above and said, “Looks like that kid Changsheng has good taste.”
The Dean of the Confucius Facultyalso nodded and said, “This child’s talent is indeed not bad.”
The elder of the Sword Hall stared at Ye Qiubai with a strange gaze, thinking about something.
At this moment, the old man stood beside Ye Qiubai and asked with a strange expression, “Ye Qiubai, your current contribution points are 200. Do you still want to continue challenging? However, if you lose, all your contribution points will be handed over to the winner.”
Ye Qiubai did not hesitate at all. He came here to fight and use this opportunity to break through.
“I’ll continue.”
The old man nodded and read out the name of the next challenger.
“Array Hall, Qiu Ming.”
Qiu Ming looked at Ye Qiubai and said solemnly, “You’re very strong, but I wonder if you can break my array formation.”
With that, array flags shot out with a flick of Qiu Ming’s finger.
Seven-colored fog formed between the array flags and surrounded the entire martial arts arena.
Someone in the audience exclaimed.
“This is Qiu Ming’s Seven Illusionary Array. Those who fall into it will experience seven illusions. They will be trapped for the rest of their lives if they are not able to walk out of it!”
“Then won’t Ye Qiubai be in trouble?”
“Everyone has seven emotions and six desires, right?”
When the Array Hall Elder saw this scene, he couldn’t help but smile. “Qiu Ming is my disciple. I personally taught him the Seven Illusion Array. It’s going to be very difficult for Ye Qiubai now.”
The Sword Hall Elder shook his head and said, “A sword cultivator won’t be trapped by an illusion array so easily.”
“Then we’ll see.”
Ye Qiubai was trapped in the Seven Illusion Array. The first illusion was the scene of the family testing his talent.
“Next, Ye Qiubai!”
Ye Qiubai slowly walked up looking at the mocking smiles around him in the illusion.
Those smiling faces were like the most vicious humiliation in the world as they rushed towards Ye Qiubai’s heart.
Nonetheless, how could these words disturb Ye Qiubai’s mental state?
He pressed a hand on the Sky Penetrating Stone. In an instant, light spread wantonly, and waves of sword energy crisscrossed the entire illusion!
Crack!
The first illusion was immediately broken!
Right on the heels of that, the second, third, and sixth were instantly broken by Ye Qiubai!
On the seventh time, a little girl stood in front of Ye Qiubai.
The little girl chased after the little boy’s shadow.
She kept calling him “Big Brother Qiubai”.
The two of them played and cultivated together.
The boy was reputed as the number one genius in Tianyuan City.
The two of them were a talented man and a beautiful woman. They were engaged when they were young.
Ye Qiubai watched this scene quietly, his eyes filled with nostalgia.
The scene changed.
The girl had grown up into a delicate and charming woman.
On the other hand, the boy had lost all his talent in the training.
At this moment, the woman brought a marriage contract to the man’s family and tore it up before leaving.
Then, she sent people to hunt them down.
The scene ended there.
Ye Qiubai sighed and said, “What’s past is past. Repay kindness with kindness and take revenge if you have a grudge.”
“How can I stop here now?”
“The Sword Dao should naturally press forward!”
Ye Qiubai’s eyes were extremely clear. He seemed to have understood something and slashed out.
The seventh level of the illusion was broken!
In the outside world.
Everyone was still discussing if Ye Qiubai could break the array.
At this moment, Qiu Ming’s expression changed.
The layers of seven-colored fog in the Seven Illusionary Array actually began to dispel layer by layer!
“How is that possible!”
Qiu Ming hurriedly wanted to consolidate the array formation, but the array flag began to collapse!
Qiu Ming spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground!
The array backfired!
The audience was shocked.
All of them felt that Ye Qiubai could not break the array, but not only did he break the array, he also did it in 10 breaths!
Breaking Qiu Ming’s Seven Illusionary Array in 10 breaths. What kind of concept was this?
The Sword Hall Elder above exclaimed, “Sword Heart Profundity!”
Qin Tiannan’s face was also solemn.
The Array Hall Elder’s face was filled with disbelief.
“He comprehended the Sword Heart Profundity at such a young age. This child’s future is limitless!”
With that, the Sword Hall Elder teleported to the martial arts arena and looked at Ye Qiubai with an urgent expression. “Are you willing to join my Sword Hall and acknowledge me as your master?”
Qin Tiannan and the others looked at each other and did not know whether to laugh or cry.
The surrounding crowd also exclaimed.
“The elders of the Sword Hall have also personally come to snatch him!”
“Looks like Ye Qiubai is really powerful.”
“That’s right. Even the elders have personally lowered their faces to snatch him away!”
Ye Qiubai was stunned, but he cupped his fists and rejected without thinking. “I’m already a disciple of the Cottage. I’m sorry, Elder.”
The Sword Hall elder said anxiously, “You’re a sword cultivator, and our Sword Hall has countless Sword Dao foundations. As long as you come to our Sword Hall, it’s not impossible for you to comprehend sword intent in 60 years… And in the Cottage…”
Sword Intent…
Ye Qiubai’s expression was strange, but he still shook his head and said, “I already have a master.”
Seeing this, the Sword Hall Elder could only sigh and say, “Alright, but the Sword Hall welcomes you at any time.”
Then, he threw a sword-shaped jade token to Ye Qiubai.
“This is my Sword Hall’s jade token. If you have any questions about the Sword Dao in the future, you can ask me.”
“Thank you, Elder.”
Ye Qiubai thanked him respectfully.
The Sword Hall Elder disappeared on the spot as soon as he finished speaking.
After that, Ye Qiubai won consecutively and defeated everyone from the various halls.
The name of the Cottage also began to resound in the Hidden Dao Academy again.
Decades ago, everyone knew about the Cottage.
Until now, the Cottage had finally taken in a disciple and announced their return in an extremely domineering manner.
Qin Tiannan had arrived at the Cottage.
He told Lu Changsheng everything.
Lu Changsheng’s expression was strange as he said, “Why does this kid like to publicize so much? If everyone wants to join the Cottage, won’t I be unable to slack off?”
Qin Tiannan’s expression darkened. “Since you have this ability, why don’t you take in more disciples?”
“What abilities do I have?”
Lu Changsheng spread his hands and said, “I’ve already said that I don’t even understand my own cultivation. How can I teach others? As for Qiu Bai, he’s purely talented.”
Qin Tiannan sighed and patted Lu Changsheng’s shoulder. “I know you have this ability. You just like to be lazy.”
With that, Qin Tiannan left.
Lu Changsheng looked innocent.
No one believed the truth anymore in this day and age?
