In the palace, the fourth elder held a brocade box and walked to Xiao Ye to open it.
boom!
Suddenly a blazing light emerged, illuminating the entire palace, and a strange fragrance spread.
"This object is called Tian Yuan Fruit. It is rare to see in a hundred years. It can allow innate warriors to directly break through a small realm without any sequelae." The fourth elder said with a smile.
Xiao Ye's eyes widened with surprise on his face.
Treasures from heaven and earth that can directly improve one's cultivation are rare, and even rarer that have no sequelae.
"Master!" Xiao Ye stared at the fourth elder, his eyes red.
The Fourth Elder must have put a lot of effort into finding such precious treasures of heaven and earth.
"You brat, don't just be impressed. Take the Tianyuan Fruit for me quickly. You can break into the top three disciples, which is the best reward for me!" the fourth elder laughed and scolded.
Xiao Ye nodded and took the brocade box. It felt very heavy as it contained the expectations of the fourth elder for him.
"Master, don't worry, this disciple will definitely not embarrass you!" Xiao Ye said secretly, and then took out the Tianyuan Fruit.
The Tianyuan Fruit is only half the size of a fist. It is white in color and exudes an overflowing fruity aroma. When you hold it in your hand, you can feel the terrifying energy contained within it.
Click!
Xiao Ye didn't hesitate and ate it in two bites.
boom!
In an instant, an energy like a flash flood exploded in Xiao Ye's body, and then wrapped up the Yuan Jing in Xiao Ye's dantian.
Xiao Ye's Yuan Jing grew in strength at a speed visible to the naked eye, erupting into surging waves of true energy.
"Is it the early stage of the eighth level of the True Yuan Realm?" Sensing Xiao Ye's cultivation, the four elders frowned slightly. With such cultivation and the power of the physical body, it would be difficult to reach the top three in the competition.
"Alas, that's all I can help you. The rest depends on your luck." The fourth elder sighed and left the palace, leaving Xiao Ye alone to break through.
One day later, a powerful aura rose into the sky, shaking the palace to its core.
"It's the middle stage of the eighth level of Xiantian Realm!" Xiao Ye's eyes suddenly opened, and his aura skyrocketed.
"If the Nirvana Hand can break through to the perfect level, I can fight against the ninth level of the Xiantian Realm based on my cultivation alone!" Xiao Ye said with excitement on his face.
The power of the fifth-grade combat skills at the perfect level is very terrifying. It is estimated that among the many direct disciples, there are many who have fifth-grade combat skills, but few can cultivate them to perfection.
Now, he doesn't have to worry anymore. Even if he doesn't reveal his physical strength, he can still rank in a good position among his direct disciples.
If you want to hit the first place, you are sure of it!
"There are still more than ten days left, let's see if we can perfect the practice of the Nirvana Hand!" Xiao Ye walked out of the palace excitedly.
Next to a waterfall in the Chongyang Mountains, there were deafening explosions. Looking from a distance, I saw a palm filled with the meaning of death appearing in the air, covering the sky and the sun, and blasting a huge boulder into pieces with horror.
Xiao Ye frowned slightly, constantly simulating the moves of the Nirvana Hand in his mind, and then practiced them over and over again.
This area was almost turned into ruins by Xiao Ye.
"I still can't break through to the realm of perfection. I always feel like something is missing." Xiao Ye said secretly.
He couldn't help but take out the bodhi leaves several times. With the incredible efficacy of the bodhi leaves, he could perfect the practice of Nirvana Hand in an instant.
"If I can't perfect the fifth-grade combat skills, how can I reach the pinnacle of martial arts?" Xiao Ye had an unyielding look on his face and continued to practice.
As the days go by, the direct disciple competition is getting closer and closer. The atmosphere among the registered disciples, outer disciples, and direct disciples is becoming more and more heated, and almost everyone is talking about the direct disciple competition.
Every day, the sky in the Chongyang Mountains will be torn apart by terrifying auras, and countless strong winds will be set off. These are the movements caused by the cultivation of the direct disciples who have returned from experience.
Chongyang Mountains, the top of a certain mountain.
A young man with a majestic body was sitting cross-legged on a boulder. His long hair was casually hanging down, and his exposed muscles exuded a fierce aura.
clatter!
At this time, a beautiful woman in black robe came through the air, the surrounding mist rolled like a god.
"Master!"
Almost at the same time, the young man opened his eyes, filled with a frightening light, and then looked at the person.
Yes, that beautiful woman in black robe is one of the four black-robed elders of Chongyang Sect, the third elder!
"Well, Wentian, you are worthy of being the strongest direct disciple of our master. Your cultivation has broken through to the middle stage of the ninth level of the Xiantian Realm. It will be no difficulty to reach the top fifty of the Black Dragon Kingdom's Hidden Dragon Ranking." The third elder landed on the mountain peak.
Go up and smile at the young man.
"Master came to me just to praise me, right?" There was a hint of pride on the young man's face.
However, the third elder was not angry at all. She said: "You should know Yiyi."
The young man nodded his head, with a gleam of passion in his eyes: "Of course I know little junior sister, but I didn't expect that the master would take in such a beautiful little junior sister during my years of training."
"Your junior sister comes from a small mountain village and has a close relationship with a person in that mountain village. Now that person has become a direct disciple."
"My master is afraid that that person will interfere with Yiyi's cultivation, so I hope you will prevent him from entering the top three in the personal disciple competition." The third elder said calmly.
"How dare a country bumpkin come after you at Chongyang Gate?" The young man said with disdain, "Master, don't worry, I will take action to destroy his cultivation."
The third elder shook his head and said: "No need, because that person is Xiao Ye."
"Xiao Ye!" The young man's eyes flashed coldly when he heard this, and he instantly understood what the third elder meant.
As long as Xiao Ye does not rush into the top three competition among his direct disciples, he will lose the protection of the sect and will definitely die by then.
…
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Boom, boom, boom!
On this day, the sound of ancient bells spread throughout the Chongyang Mountains.
Immediately, everyone knew that the direct disciple competition had begun! This competition can be called the strongest among the Chongyang Sect disciple competitions.
All the disciples of the Chongyang Sect, even the registered disciples, headed towards the interior of the Chongyang Mountains.
As early as half a month ago, the deputy sect leader personally took action and opened up a very wide square as the battlefield for this direct disciple competition.
"The competition has begun, but my Nirvana Hand is still not perfected." After hearing the bell, Xiao Ye opened his eyes and smiled bitterly.
"I always feel that this competition is extraordinary and something big is going to happen. I'd better take the flame sword with me." Xiao Ye walked down the mountain where he lived, carrying the flame sword on his back.
The closer he got to his direct disciple Dabi, the stronger the bad premonition in his heart became, as if there was an invisible black hand covering him.
This was a warrior's intuition. Although Xiao Ye was dubious, he still chose to believe it. It was always right to be more prepared.
"Junior brother, let's go together." Just after walking down the mountain peak, Bingya floated over.
"Okay." Xiao Ye smiled.
If Bingya didn't abuse him, he would still be very happy to stay with her.
Of course, with his current strength, he should be the one who abused Bingya.
"Senior Sister's current cultivation level should have reached the middle stage of the ninth level of the Xiantian Realm. She is not as strong as me. After the direct disciple competition is over, I will come to retaliate against Senior Sister." Xiao Ye laughed.
He has not forgotten his lofty ambitions back then.
"What are you planning again?" Hearing Xiao Ye suddenly smile evilly, Bing Ya rolled her eyes at Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye quickly put away his smile and became expressionless.
When they arrived at the square of Dabi, they found that the square was already noisy. Many disciples were talking, and there were many elders in silver robes and elders in gold robes maintaining order.
Almost all the disciples have arrived, and it’s so dark that you can’t see the end at a glance. It’s very spectacular.
"It turns out that the sect has so many disciples." Xiao Ye secretly said.
"It's Xiao Ye!" When Xiao Ye and Bingya walked into the field, they immediately attracted many eyes.
I have to say that Xiao Ye is so famous now that even if he wants to keep a low profile, it is impossible.
"Lao San, come on!"
"Yi Zi, you must break into the top three!"
In the group of outer disciples, Xiao Ye saw Yu Fang, Shao Yan and four others.
"Don't worry!" Xiao Ye smiled at the four of them, then he and Bingya walked away from the crowd and walked into the square.
At this time, there were dozens of figures standing there in the square. They were divided into three teams. They were obviously direct disciples of the other three black-robed elders.
"Zhao Qian!" Xiao Ye immediately saw Zhao Qian with fluttering white robes and a long sword on his back.
Whoosh!
Zhao Qian, who was closing his eyes to rest, felt Xiao Ye's gaze, opened his eyes slightly, and looked over with a bright light in his eyes.
"snort!"
Xiao Ye snorted coldly, their eyes intertwined in mid-air, and there was a faint electric light lingering.
Seeing that the competition had not yet begun, the two men started to compete, and the disciples around them became excited.
"Junior brother, don't be careless. Zhao Qian has been practicing hard in seclusion for the past year. No one knows Zhao Qian's cultivation level now, but I think it must be very terrifying." Bingya reminded in a low voice.
Xiao Ye nodded, looked away, and sneered in his heart.
"No matter how strong your cultivation is, you are still no match for me!" Xiao Ye has this confidence.
"There is another opponent, you must be careful." Bingya's gaze suddenly stopped in a certain direction.
Xiao Ye followed his line of sight and immediately discovered that it was a young man with a majestic body and a fierce aura all over his body.
"He is Wentian, the direct disciple of the Third Elder. He has been training outside in the past. His cultivation has reached the middle stage of the ninth level of the Xiantian Realm. He is a favorite to win the championship this time." Bingya said.
Then she pointed out a few powerful direct disciples, but Xiao Ye had a calm look on his face.
With his current physical strength, he is enough to defeat the opponents pointed out by Bingya. Of course, the opponents may also be hiding their strength.
clatter!
At this moment, four black-robed elders came out of the air and landed on the square. At the same time, they lowered their heads in one direction with respectful expressions.
"The deputy sect leader is here!" Seeing this scene, Xiao Ye's heart skipped a beat.
The only one who can be treated like this by the four black-robed elders is the deputy sect leader who has already aspired to win the title of Xuanwu.
Xiao Ye's eyes were filled with heat, and he looked in that direction. Apart from the old madman, this was the first time he saw a strong person in the Xuanwu Realm.
