Chapter 236: The Strongest Powerhouse of The Generation, Trumping The World
On the cliff.
Until now, Li Changye didn’t know exactly why he was inferior to Ye Ping.
For example, the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet.
It was just a minor Sword Dao competition in the first place. To put it bluntly, he could win it every single time even if he attended it 100 times.
However, he didn’t expect to lose as soon as he left the sect, which was truly unacceptable to him.
At this moment…
Li Changye’s master was standing behind him with his eyes full of helplessness.
Ever since Li Changye failed in the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet, Li Changye’s master had been listless and despondent all the time.
Fortunately, he had made a backup plan then, all because he was scared that Li Changye might face failure.
However, he didn’t expect Li Changye to have lost so quickly in a clear-cut manner.
But this time, he was confident that Li Changyi would not be defeated.
“Master!”
“Will I really not be defeated this time?”
Li Changye asked with his back facing his master.
“You have already mastered the basics of the four absolute sword techniques of the sect.”
“Changye, you have also reached the Golden Core realm, you can exert the full power of the four absolute sword techniques.”
“Those below the Nascent Soul realm will be no match for you. Even if you encounter a Nascent Soul realm cultivator, you can still defeat them if you execute the last move.”
Li Changye’s master said seriously.
The so-called Four Absolute Sword Techniques were Absolute Human, Absolute Earth, Absolute Heaven, and Absolute Void.
There were a total of four moves, each of which was extremely terrifying. Back then, Li Changye did not learn that set of sword techniques.
It was the last thing his master had reserved.
Unfortunately, Li Changye was too incompetent.
He was defeated soon after he went down the mountain, making his master feel really helpless.
However, things were fine now. Li Changye had made some considerable achievements in learning those sword techniques, and he had even successfully broken through to the Golden Core realm.
With that natural talent, he probably wouldn’t be defeated again.
Unless he was suppressed in terms of realm, it would basically be impossible for Li Changye to be defeated.
“Master!”
“I mean if…”
“If I lose again, what should I do?”
Li Changye couldn’t help but ask.
He had developed some emotional trauma since the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet and was now terrified of failure.
Seeing the way Li Changye was, his master couldn’t help but sigh.
Immediately afterwards, he spoke slowly.
“If you really get defeated again, there’ll be only one way out.”
“You shall take the path of no victory.”
“If you use your failures to hone your Dao Heart and keep losing along the way, you will be able to embark on the path to invincibility.”
“It’s just that this path is very difficult because the path of no victory is not exactly seeking to be defeated in the true sense.”
“Instead, you have to do your best each time and end up being defeated.”
“You have to build a heart of invincibility under such extreme conditions, do you understand?”
Li Changye’s master was staring at him with determination in his gaze.
“You shall take the path of no victory.”
At this moment, Li Changye was a little surprised.
He didn’t think that there would be such a logic.
“However, Changye, I still hope that you can continue on the path of invincibility and remain unbeatable.”
“You must remember that the reason you lost in the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet was that you weren’t at your strongest then.”
“If I had taught you the Four Absolute Sword Techniques then, you wouldn’t have lost.”
“There is already a seed planted in your heart that will affect you. So, forget everything and launch an invincible strike. Do you understand?”
He said earnestly.
He advised Li Changye.
“Strike all enemies?”
“Master, can I do it?”
Li Changye turned around and looked at his master.
“If you believe in yourself, you can do it. If you don’t believe in yourself, you will never achieve supremacy no matter how strong you are.”
“Remember, more often than not, you are your greatest enemy.”
Li Changye’s master said seriously.
He cautioned Li Changye in a bid to help him build an unbeatable heart.
However, at this moment, Li Changye took a deep breath and his gaze was blazing while his eyes were full of battle intent.
“Master, I have understood. This time, I won’t embarrass you again.”
“I will definitely defeat everyone and truly step on the path of invincibility.”
“I will definitely defeat him too.”
Li Changye said seriously.
The latter nodded in satisfaction.
“Changye, you’ve regained your confidence. I finally see the old you. You didn’t let me down.”
“Changye, go ahead, go down the mountain. This is the token for King’s Territory. Take it with you to the King’s Territory.”
Li Changye’s master took a deep breath with a look of gratification in his eyes.
“Yes, Master.”
Without further ado, Li Changye went straight down the mountain with an intense gaze.
He had gone down the mountain.
He was alone.
This time, he was going to truly embark on the path of invincibility.
“I hope to meet that person called Ye Ping again!”
“I won’t lose to him this time. I will show him what it means to be a real genius, a real powerhouse, and a truly invincible person.”
He was extremely confident.
At the same time…
In the Great Xia Dynasty Academy.
The palace was extremely luxurious and the walls were embellished with gemstones and jade.
In the palace, there were several figures sitting cross-legged in the main hall.
The leader was an old man who had a zither in front of him and two rows of people beside him.
They were of mixed gender.
The four of them were valiant-looking and were exuding an extraordinary aura, especially the first man on the left. He was clad in a starry robe and gave off an indescribable vibe.
The second man was also extremely extraordinary. He was wearing a blue robe and holding a fan in hand with an extremely composed gaze in his eyes, as if he was an otherworldly expert.
As for the two women, they seemed extremely noble. One was dressed in purple while the other was dressed in red. They were beautiful and had an extraordinary aura.
They were all elites of the Great Xia Dynasty.
They were all famous existences in the world.
At this moment, there were old voices in the palace.
“You have to pay attention to the King’s Territory battle this time. I heard that the Devil Son of the Fiendcelestial Cult would be heading there too. If any one of you can kill the God-Slaying Devil Son, they shall be the leader of the Great Xia Dynasty Academy.”
The elder’s voice was very calm. He told the four of them that the God-Slaying Devil Son was going to the King’s Territory too.
“God-Slaying Devil Son? I heard that this person will be really ruthless when he starts killing. Master, do you think it’s safe to let us go?”
“Actually, why don’t we just stop this God-Slaying Devil Son? There’s no point in doing so much, it’s a waste of time.”
The man in blue said sluggishly.
He stretched his back.
However, as soon as he said that, the man in the starry robe humphed softly in disdain of the man in blue.
“It’s just a King’s Territory, what’s there to be worried about? We are the elites of the Great Xia Dynasty Academy, how can we be scared of a Devil Son?”
His tone was full of confidence and he seemed to be fearless.
“Yes, yes, Senior Brother Changtian is definitely not afraid of this mere Devil Son. Who are you? You’re the most powerful elite of the Great Xia Dynasty Academy. But I am not. If you’re willing, you can just go to the Fiendcelestial Cult’s lair to kill them.”
The man in blue said nonchalantly with a sarcastic tone.
“Junior Brother Wang, what do you mean by that?”
“I’m your Junior Brother, if there’s anything you’re unhappy about, just say so. Why do you have to be so sarcastic here?”
The man in the starry robe continued. He didn’t look at him at all and his face was indifferent.
“You’re making it sound too serious. After all, you’re only 20 years old, but you’re already the strongest elite of the Great Xia Dynasty Academy. You have also cultivated to the Major Perfection of the Golden Core realm. Besides, you have already cultivated to the fifth realm of the Heavenly Dragon. I don’t dare to be sarcastic to you at all.”
“What I mean is very simple. I won’t get involved in the battle of the King’s Territory this time. God knows if there will be any demons here.”
“If a king really appears here, won’t you be courting death?”
The man in blue sounded extremely casual, but what he meant was quite simple, and that was, he didn’t want to join the battle of the King’s Territory this time.
However, before the man in the starry robe could speak, the elder couldn’t help but speak up.
“Chen’er, you might not be able to go this time too.”
His tone was calm, and he didn’t seem to have any slight disgust for the argument between his disciples. Instead, he seemed to have already gotten used to it.
“Master? You’re being forceful?”
The latter frowned a little.
“Chen’er, you were right about something just now. The heavenly secret platform of the Great Xia Dynasty has predicted that there will be an unprecedented change and the birth of the King’s Territory was created by the twelve Immortal Kings.”
“It will be opened once every 500 years, and the winner will be able to obtain a reward from the Immortal King. But the heavenly secret platform has predicted this time that there will be an inexplicable change.”
“If the prediction is correct, it will be the last battle in the King’s Territory this time.”
The elder said slowly.
However, his words made their expressions change.
King’s Territory?
It was one of the most famous relics in the Immortal World, and it was said to have been created by the twelve Immortal Kings of ancient times.
The twelve Immortal Kings chose a blessed land and then put their lifelong masterpieces, as well as treasures, into the King’s Territory.
They also created 3,000 ancient tokens for the King’s Territory that would be opened once every 500 years. With the ancient token, one would be able to step into King’s Territory, and as soon as one did, the ancient token would disappear. It would then appear in this world again after 100 years.
They would have to wait for the next opening.
There would be different changes in the King’s Territory each time, but no matter what the changes were, they would revolve around one law.
“Nurturing poison.”
Yes, it was the process of putting 3,000 elites into the King’s Territory and pitting them against each other. Of course, one could choose not to participate in the massacre and instead stay in the King’s Territory to snatch for creation.
The final winner would be rewarded by the Immortal King.
Generally speaking, the reward would usually be a Dao artifact or an inheritance of the same value. Occasionally, an immortal artifact would be given.
For others, Dao artifacts and inheritances were extremely precious.
However, for the top elites of the Great Xia Dynasty Academy, they might be precious but not as precious as their lives.
Hence, the man in blue was reluctant to go.
However, after hearing those words, everyone was naturally curious.
“The last time? Master, what do you mean by that?”
“Yes, the King’s Territory has been derived from ancient times and it will open once every 500 years. Why would it vanish?”
“Master, you’re not trying to dupe us into going, are you?”
Everyone looked at their master curiously.
“Nonsense, how can I be deceiving you?”
“The King’s Territory might be opened for the last time this time, so whoever wins it this time, he might get to obtain the real inheritance of the Immortal King.”
“I’ve heard that the Twelve Immortal Kings have jointly sacrificed a treasure that will shock the world and has supreme miraculous uses.”
“So, are you really not going this time?”
The elder asked while looking at everyone.
In an instant, even the most sluggish-looking man in blue couldn’t help but seem confused.
They might not care about Dao artifacts, inheritances, and quasi-immortal artifacts.
However, the inheritance of the Immortal King was different, especially since he was one of the Twelve Immortal Kings.
There was no way they wouldn’t care about it.
“Master, what other evidence can we rely on except the Heavenly Secret Platform?”
The man in blue continued to ask, seemingly not trusting of his father.
“The King’s Territory will open once every 500 years and each time, there will be 3,000 tokens, right?”
He asked.
“Yes.”
Everyone answered.
“This time, it is said that 30,000 ancient tokens have appeared and there are restrictions.”
“In the previous King’s Territory, as long as you had an ancient token and your realm did not exceed the Nascent Soul realm, you would be able to enter.”
“This time, the realm requirement may still be fixed below the Nascent Soul realm, but most importantly, there’s an elite ladder at the entrance of the King’s Territory. Only those who have crossed it can enter, do you understand?”
The elder explained.
Everyone believed him.
30,000 ancient tokens was quite a terrifying figure.
However, the more terrifying thing was the Elite Ladder.
In the past, an ancient token was all one would need to enter the King’s Territory and apart from the inheritance of the Immortal King, there would also be countless precious treasures, spirit herbs, and Dharmic Dao. Hence, some cultivators would enter for the sake of getting treasures.
However, this time, one had to be an elite to enter.
What did that mean?
It meant that it was really going to be a brutal fight.
Seeing that everyone was silent, the elder continued to speak.
“So, if nothing goes wrong, there should be a real victor emerging from the King’s Territory this time!”
“Whoever becomes the champion will be famous in the world and obtain the supreme inheritance of the Twelve Immortal Kings.”
“Are you guys still willing to go?”
At this juncture…
All of a sudden, all four of them seemed to be eager and were all looking forward to it.
At the same time…
In the Great Qian dynasty.
The Great Li Dynasty!
The Great Zhou Dynasty!
The Great Ze Dynasty!
The Ten Great Sacred Places, the Alliance of Itinerant Cultivators, the cults, and the demons were all making plans for the King’s Territory.
The reason being…
This time, a true victor of the world would be born.
They would also obtain the inheritance of the Twelve Immortal Kings.
For the forces, the inheritance of the Twelve Immortal Kings was invaluable.
For individuals, the title of being the victor of his generation was an irresistible temptation.
A victor of his generation!
An elite victor of a generation.
Which immortal cultivator would be able to resist the temptation of gaining such a reputation?
