Chapter 1180: Chapter 1180: Ye Qiu’s Answer! (Fourth Update)

The entire hall was extremely silent, one could hear a pin drop.

Ye Qiu’s strength had been witnessed by all, from his initial emergence to the present, his capabilities were unfathomable, and no one in the martial world knew the true extent of Ye Qiu’s strength.

The reason Chen Yifeng made such a reluctant request was not only for the sake of the Southern Martial Artists but also to find an opportunity for a breakthrough for himself and for Wang Hutang and Ren Hesheng present.

Once the realm of a Martial Artist ceases to progress, it may not be a big deal for younger martial artists as their strength won’t regress, but for older martial artists, it’s different. If their vitality cannot advance further, it will gradually diminish, resulting in a significant drop in strength.

As the saying goes, if you don’t advance, you retreat. Age can also, to a certain extent, restrict progress in martial arts.

The time left for Chen Yifeng, Wang Hutang, and the others is running out. They are stuck at the peak of the True Qi realm and haven’t been able to break through for a long time. As time goes by, their vitality will decline, and their strength will gradually fall from the True Qi realm, perhaps even beneath it.

All eyes were on Ye Qiu, who faintly smiled and said, “Senior Chen’s request is not excessive. I, Ye Qiu, am not one to withhold knowledge. Since several seniors wish for me to impart some martial arts wisdom, I will share with those who wish to listen. It’s not about preaching, but rather mutual exploration. Martial arts wisdom is the ladder to a martial artist’s progress. If everyone acknowledges me, Ye Qiu, I am willing to build a ladder for all martial artists in the Southern faction, helping them climb higher and farther.”

Upon hearing Ye Qiu’s words, Chen Yifeng, Wang Hutang, and the others immediately beamed with joyous smiles, because the act of imparting martial arts wisdom is extremely rare in the martial world, usually only occurring between master and disciple or elder and younger generations, which is why Chen Yifeng was hesitant to speak up.

“Indeed, Ye Qiu is a magnanimous person, I, Wang Hutang, deeply admire him,” said Wang Hutang, his voice booming, his expression very earnest.

Ren Hesheng and Li Tiezheng also clasped their fists in gratitude.

“Seniors, you flatter me. Back when I was merely a True Qi realm martial artist, all of you unanimously supported me. Doing this is nothing significant. If the martial world gains a group of strong martial artists because of my shared experiences, I am willing to give away all my knowledge,” said Ye Qiu.

Chen Yifeng and the others did not speak, all clasping their fists. Ye Qiu’s magnanimity is not something everyone possesses, after all, one’s martial arts wisdom is accumulated through life-and-death experiences. How many people are willing to pass it on unconditionally?

This is the kind of grace only possessed by a Grandmaster, only a true martial arts master would share martial arts wisdom without seeking any return.

The reason Ye Qiu agreed is also because he has his reasons. Now, having reached the Human King realm, he is undoubtedly a standout presence in the martial world. Even if he teaches his experience, it can withstand scrutiny, as he has the strength to do so.

Secondly, Ye Qiu feels the current martial world is indeed somewhat weak. Most martial artists only achieve the peak of the True Qi realm, with very few reaching the Legendary realm, let alone the Mythical realm. As far as Ye Qiu knows, only Qian Zhen broke the shackles of the Legendary realm and advanced to the Mythical realm.

This level of strength is far too weak. In ancient lands, even an average ancient clan could easily annihilate the entire martial world.

Most importantly, Ye Qiu knows Earth is about to face a catastrophe. The emergence of Ge Tian’s treasure, the awakening of many Sealers, and even the potential arrival of cosmic powerhouses on Earth make Earth extremely perilous. This is a disaster not just for ordinary people but also a calamity for the martial world.

Ye Qiu is strong, but ultimately he is just one person, and the human race on Earth will face numerous Saint Heirs and cosmic powerhouses. With their current strength, they are not enough to withstand a single punch from those super powerhouses.

Chen Yifeng’s request also gave Ye Qiu new ideas. If he could revive martial arts on Earth, creating many strong martial artists in a short time, then when the human race on Earth is under threat, they will have the power to protect themselves, and fewer lives will be lost.

Chen Yifeng and the others are unaware of Earth’s crisis, their vision does not reach as far as Ye Qiu’s. But as someone who rose up on Earth, Ye Qiu feels he should bear the flag for humanity on Earth and cannot allow external powerhouses to run rampant on Earth.

It’s not strong enough for only one person to be powerful; only when thousands are strong will it provide the greatest assurance for humanity on Earth.

Therefore, Ye Qiu agreed without much thought.

“I thank you on behalf of the martial artists of the Southern faction,” Chen Yifeng bowed.

Ye Qiu hurriedly helped him up, “Elder Chen, you’re too kind.”

“For our Southern faction to have Ye Qiu, it is our great fortune.”

Ye Qiu’s response made the martial seniors not only happy but also deeply grateful, and Ye Qiu could feel the sincerity of their emotions, rather than any false or pretentious acts.

“You few old fellows are not fair. With Ye Qiu imparting his knowledge, have the martial artists of the Northern faction been left out?”

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the hall, and the figure of an elder appeared in the courtyard.

Everyone’s attention shifted, and Chen Yifeng and the others frowned, thinking, “Why is it this old guy.”

The newcomer was Elder Jin, a master from the Northern faction. Ye Qiu had an impression of him from the martial arts conference where Elder Jin sat at the edge of the arena as a judge alongside Chen Yifeng and others.

“Why have you suddenly come here? This is the business of our Southern faction; your Northern faction shouldn’t interfere,” Chen Yifeng said. Based on the historical conflicts between the Northern and Southern factions, Chen Yifeng still held some animosity towards Elder Jin.

Elder Jin entered the hall, didn’t answer Chen Yifeng’s question, but first clasped his fists towards Ye Qiu and smiled, “For the past year, I’ve frequently heard about Ye Qiu’s deeds, and I, an old man, have been quite admiring of you.”

Wang Hutang, Ren Hesheng, and Li Tiezheng all pursed their lips, feeling this old guy was quite hypocritical, obviously trying to curry favor with Ye Qiu.

“Senior Jin,” Ye Qiu returned the salute, maintaining etiquette.

Elder Jin laughed heartily, then said, “I heard these old fellows send out an invitation, so I knew Ye Qiu would come, and I came to pay my respects.”

“Just now, I heard Ye Qiu intends to impart his knowledge to the martial artists of the Southern faction. I too have a presumptuous request; I wonder if Ye Qiu would agree?” Elder Jin said.

Ye Qiu felt the words were familiar, as if he had heard them somewhere before, but without overthinking, he replied, “Please speak, Elder Jin.”

“Ye Qiu’s strength is unfathomable; in today’s martial world, there’s probably no second person who can rival him. Since Ye Qiu intends to impart knowledge, even if it means losing face, I must speak for the martial artists of the Northern faction and humbly request that Ye Qiu also instruct my people in the Northern faction.”

Chen Yifeng, Wang Hutang, and Ren Hesheng’s eyes almost shot fire; this old guy from the Northern faction actually wants to interfere too, how shameless. Ye Qiu is clearly from the Southern faction, what is a Northern faction person doing here?

It seems Elder Jin knew his request was excessive, so he immediately clasped his fists, bent his body, and lowered his head, putting on a very humble demeanor.

Even Chen Yifeng and the other three were stunned, not expecting Elder Jin to humble himself to such an extent for the martial artists of the Northern faction.

Would Ye Qiu agree?

Everyone was very curious.
