93: Chapter 93 Sect Elders Compete for Disciples 93: Chapter 93 Sect Elders Compete for Disciples “What, Ye Zhen actually made it through the fifth challenge of the Fish-Dragon Nine Transformations, and it was a perfect pass?”

In the Silent Chamber, Sect Leader Guo Qijing was shocked to receive the Talisman Letter from the Guardian Elder of the Fish-Dragon Path.

His thoughts stirred, divine light burst forth in his eyes, and with a sweeping motion of his hands, a Spiritual Power Mirror Surface abruptly appeared.

The contents of the mirror, however, made Sect Leader Guo Qijing somewhat frustrated.

He didn’t see Ye Zhen killing the Phantom Demons in the fifth challenge of the Fish-Dragon Nine Transformations; what he saw was Ye Zhen resting in front of the gates between the fifth and sixth challenges.

“How is this possible?”

“Ye Zhen was merely at the True Essence Third Realm…

no, after facing the wall for half a year, he has already broken through to the True Essence Fourth Realm.

But even so, it shouldn’t be possible for him to get through the fifth challenge, let alone kill all the Phantom Demons and achieve a perfect pass?”

Sect Leader Guo Qijing’s brows were tightly knotted together.

Before him, on the Spiritual Power Realm Surface, Ye Zhen slowly pushed open the giant doors of the sixth challenge of the Fish-Dragon Nine Transformations.

Watching this scene, Guo Qijing immediately concentrated all his attention on observing Ye Zhen.

At the same moment, several of the Sect Elders also received Talisman Letters from their disciples or friends.

“Ye Zhen, with the True Essence Third Realm cultivation, made it through the fifth challenge of the Fish-Dragon Nine Transformations?

Impossible, right?

Even Tu Fangye, who is the number one genius of the century reborn, couldn’t have achieved this with True Essence Third Realm cultivation, could he?”

Grand Elder Lut Changchuan stood up in shock and swiftly headed outside, “Regardless, I must make a decision about that matter immediately.

There might be many talents, but inheritances are hard to come by…”

At another location on Elder Peak, upon receiving the news, Seventh Elder Zhongli Jing suddenly soared into the sky and flew over to the Main Peak, Qitian Peak, “I must act first to gain the upper hand.

I don’t have a single true inheritor under me, which cripples my authority in discussions within the Sect!”

Almost simultaneously, the Second Elder, Third Elder, Fourth Elder, and even Sixth Elder were doing the same thing.

On Dingguang Peak, after Fifth Elder Hong Banjiang received the news, his eyebrows instantly furrowed deeply into an inverted “八” shape: “This scoundrel, after killing Chengzu and making me lose face, not to mention what he did to Hong Bao, I haven’t even settled the score with him yet, and now he’s gone and made a name for himself again!”

“Sword Boy, go and summon your several Senior Brothers here.”

As the command rang out, a boy accepted the task and left.

In the Spiritual Power Mirror Surface before Sect Leader Guo Qijing:

Ye Zhen mobilized all his true power to the limit, with the Sky Crystal Sword in his right hand and the True Essence Sword Finger in his left, he fought with all his potential, and it was a do-or-die approach that finally allowed him to kill the third Phantom Demon in the sixth challenge—the Mid-grade Earth Level Demon Beast, the Four-Armed Bear.

The moment he killed the third Four-Armed Bear, Ye Zhen felt pressure on his front and back as six other Four-Armed Bears with twenty-four bear arms surrounded and struck him.

The moment the power, capable of splitting mountains and seas, ruptured the Protective Gang Qi on the surface of Ye Zhen’s body, an Amulet hidden on Ye Zhen’s body suddenly emitted a circle of rainbow light.

With a flash of the light, a terrified Ye Zhen vanished into thin air from within the sixth challenge.

After witnessing this scene, Sect Leader Guo Qijing casually waved his hand to disperse the Spiritual Power Mirror Surface, his brows furrowing even tighter.

Ye Zhen’s combat power didn’t seem too extraordinary.

Aside from the mysterious Chasing Star Step, in Guo Qijing’s view, Ye Zhen’s combat power was barely comparable to Zhou Zhi’an at the Late-stage True Essence Fifth Realm, but even with this level of power, it was absolutely impossible for him to pass the fifth challenge.

To pass the fifth challenge of the Fish-Dragon Nine Transformations, one must have the strength of the Late-stage Spirit Summoning Realm, and it had to be a perfect pass.

How on earth did Ye Zhen do it?

At that moment, Sect Leader Guo Qijing felt so curious he nearly pulled at his own beard.

In front of the Fish-Dragon Path!

“Look quickly, the points are moving again!”

Following the outcry of a disciple, the multitude of disciples who had just calmed down once again focused their attention on the Spirit Light Wall.

96,000!

97,000!

98,000 points!

Whoosh!

The sound of gasps arose simultaneously!

98,000 points—typically, those who reach this score are at the Middle Late Stage of the Soul Summoning Realm.

Those who made it to the sixth challenge of the Fish-Dragon Nine Transformations are usually within the top ten of the Inner Sect.

Even Qu Zhanqian from the first place on the Heavenly List had only just passed the sixth challenge!

Yet Ye Zhen, a mere True Essence Third Realm fellow, actually reached this point?

Swoosh!

As everyone was exclaiming, a somewhat unsettled Ye Zhen was suddenly teleported out.

Seeing the unscathed Ye Zhen, a thought rose in the minds of many Inner Sect Disciples—monstrous, freakish!

Almost at the same time, the rankings on the Heavenly List began to change again.

With a score of 98,000 points, Ye Zhen surpassed the tenth place on the Heavenly List with 96,000 points, becoming the new number ten!

The original tenth place on the Heavenly List dropped to the eleventh place.

The person who was kicked down to the eleventh place on the Heavenly List by Ye Zhen was none other than Ren Xihua!

“Look, Ye Zhen managed to be on par with the genius Ren Xihua!” said one Inner Sect Disciple.

However, a nearby Senior Brother shook his head, “Not necessarily!

It took Ren Xihua three years to fight his way to the tenth place on the Heavenly List.

As far as I know, Ye Zhen was still a servant disciple a year ago!

In other words, Ye Zhen made it into the tenth place on the Heavenly List within a year!

Ye Zhen’s talent…”

“Nonsense talent, Ye Zhen is nothing but a Three Veins Middle Grade trash bloodline talent…”

“If Ye Zhen is trash, then what about you, a Four Veins Mid-grade fellow?

Why haven’t you even made it onto the Heavenly List, not to mention reaching Ye Zhen’s current ranking, tenth on the Heavenly List!”

A group of fellow disciples had actually started quarreling over Ye Zhen.

On top of a silent peak, Ren Xihua, who was cultivating, suddenly felt something and looked at his Identity Jade.

His brows furrowed as he saw, “My ranking has fallen to eleventh on the Heavenly List?”

“Who is it?

Who has pushed me out of the top ten of the Heavenly List?” With a flash of his body, Ren Xihua headed straight for Donglai Peak!

“What, I actually kicked the tenth place off the Heavenly List?”

Ye Zhen was also astonished as he glanced at the Heaven and Earth List.

Ye Zhen’s original plan was to try his best to make it onto the Heavenly List.

However, during the fifth challenge, Ye Zhen took a bit of advantage, knowing the weak point of the Silver Line Demon Eagle.

With the Chasing Star Step, he achieved a perfect breakthrough!

As a result, not only did he make it onto the Heavenly List, but he also frighteningly climbed up to the tenth spot!

Even so, Ye Zhen won fair and square!

Not to mention that knowing the Silver Line Demon Eagle’s weak point was also part of Ye Zhen’s ability.

If Ye Zhen could fight off three Mid-grade Earth Rank Phantom Demons, then taking down a dozen or so Low-grade Earth Rank Phantom Demons shouldn’t be a problem either.

His points could also easily surpass twenty-two thousand!

Of course, that’s not to say that Ye Zhen could defeat two or three real Mid-grade Earth Rank Demon Beasts, after all, the Phantom Demons generated by the spiritual power in Fish-Dragon Nine Transformations, still differed somewhat from actual Demon Beasts.

Ye Zhen’s surprised expression caused the onlooking Inner and Outer Sect disciples to roll their eyes.

So, you didn’t even realize you had such mighty strength?

Zhou Zhi’an, who was the most boisterous and loudest before, stared dumbly at the Spirit Light Wall, his gaze frozen and unbelieving.

Unfortunately, Zhou Zhi’an wanted to move, but he didn’t dare to.

Just thinking of the bet ‘if Ye Zhen makes it onto the Heavenly List, he would dash to his death onto it’, Zhou Zhi’an felt his scalp going numb and his face burning with anxiety.

He didn’t know how to face all these people around him anymore.

How could he continue to mix in this circle, let alone deal with the dozen or so creditors around him?

Zhou Zhi’an didn’t want to move, but someone wanted to make him move!

Collecting his thoughts, Ye Zhen walked over to the Golden Yuanbao table, swept his hand over the table, and gathered all the stakes from his bet with Zhou Zhi’an, leaving Golden Yuanbao drooling with envy.

“Ha, tenth on the Heavenly List!

Zhou Zhi’an, I’ll be taking your two hundred forty thousand silver pieces!

Next, it’s time to see you dash to death on the Heavenly List.

Hurry up, everyone’s watching, haha!”

Hearing Ye Zhen’s voice, Zhou Zhi’an felt an extreme mix of grief and indignation, almost wishing he could tear his own mouth off.

How did he come across such an asshole like Ye Zhen?

Dash to death on the Heavenly List?

That was absolutely impossible!

How could he let his prime years be lost over a flippant bet?

Zhou Zhi’an was anxious!

So anxious that he wished a crack in the earth would open up and swallow him whole!

“What’s the matter, playing dumb?

Zhou Zhi’an, if you don’t turn around this instant, I might just have to cuddle you to a collision with the Heavenly List!”

Zhou Zhi’an’s body began to tremble—that was how desperate he was!

“Senior Brother Zhou, the master calls for you!” the Sword Boy of the Fifth Elder Hong Banjiang suddenly appeared at Fish-Dragon Path.

To Zhou Zhi’an, the Sword Boy’s seven words sounded like the music of heaven.

With a swift response, he wished he could sprout wings and fly away from this place immediately.

Watching Zhou Zhi’an turn to flee, Ye Zhen spat disdainfully, “Can’t even own up to what you did, that’s pathetic!

Besides, we’re fellow disciples; did you really think I would make you dash to death on the Heavenly List?

Just turn around, apologize, and it’ll be over!”

Hearing Ye Zhen’s words, the rapidly departing Zhou Zhi’an felt so frustrated that he nearly spat out three liters of blood!

Dammit, could you possibly insult someone more?

As Zhou Zhi’an left, those Inner Sect Disciples who previously lent him silver became anxious.

They ran after him with all their might, shouting, “Zhou Zhi’an, wait, pay back the silver!”

“Certainly, my word is my bond, I will pay it back!” Zhou Zhi’an roared back!

“Pah, as if we could trust you!

Write an IOU, give us an IOU first…”

Zhou Zhi’an: “……”

….

Right when Zhou Zhi’an was fleeing in disarray, six of the Qiyun Sect’s eight special-status Sect Elders gathered together in the Sect Leader’s Silent Chamber.

“Elders, assembled together like this, is there an important matter?” Sect Leader Guo Qijing was quite surprised.

It was exceedingly rare to see the six Sect Elders come together.

The Elders exchanged glances, and the Seventh Elder Zhongli Jing was the first to speak, “Sect Leader, I have come to inform you that I have decided to take Inner Sect Disciple Ye Zhen as my personal true inheritor.”

“What?

Old Seventh, shut up!

Sect Leader, I have also come to inform you that I am planning to take Inner Sect Disciple Ye Zhen as my personal true inheritor…”

In an instant, the Sect Leader Guo Qijing’s Silent Chamber erupted into chaos, all of them, without exception, requesting to take Ye Zhen as their disciple.
