Chapter 536 - 522: Astounding Heavenly Mechanism Opportunity

Chapter 536: Chapter 522: Astounding Heavenly Mechanism Opportunity

Elder Yang held anticipation in his heart, and despite his concern for Xiao Ye, he managed to restrain himself and decided to continue waiting and see.

As time passed day by day, that sliver of expectation in Elder Yang’s heart finally dwindled to nothing, because Xiao Ye had already been in the Spirit King Pool for a full month and ten days.

Looking across the entire Taiyi Palace, not to mention those monsters in the Main Hall, even in the history of Taiyi Palace, the time spent in the Spirit King Pool was only half a month, so forty days was completely unimaginable.

"This kid must have encountered an accident in the Spirit King Pool." Elder Yang couldn’t sit still any longer, not wanting to see the successor he had finally taken a liking to perish here.

Swish!

Elder Yang’s figure turned into a streak of light, rumbling as he burst through the wooden door of the stone house and rushed in.

"Elder Yang has finally gone in!"

"How could Xiao Ye, this disciple, stay so long in the Spirit King Pool?"

"Isn’t it clear? There must have been an accident."

...

The disciples who had been waiting outside the stone house were impatient, and seeing Elder Yang rushing in, they immediately started discussing, with quite a few people mocking, seemingly eager for an accident to befall Xiao Ye.

Inside the stone house, on the plains, all was quietly still.

Whoosh!

Elder Yang pushed his speed to the peak, and in one step, he moved hundreds of yards, quickly reaching the location of the Spirit King Pool.

Hiss!

When Elder Yang’s gaze fell to the bottom of the pool, his eyes bulged, and he involuntarily gasped in shock.

He saw the water in the vast Spirit King Pool was completely dried up, all evaporated, and Xiao Ye was sitting cross-legged at the bottom of the pool with a smile hanging at the corner of his mouth.

"This... what exactly is going on!" Even Elder Yang, who had seen much of the world, couldn’t help but be shocked to his core.

You should know that with the size of the Spirit King Pool, the water inside should be enough for ten disciples at the Initial King Realm to absorb and transform their Grotto Heavens into King Realms. So why was it dry now?

Elder Yang’s astonished gaze fell on Xiao Ye: "Could it be this kid’s doing?"

Simultaneously—

Swish!

Xiao Ye’s eyes suddenly burst open, his black hair dancing wildly with the wind, his figure soaring into the sky, his head thrown back in a roar, releasing the joy in his heart.

With the help of the Spirit King Pool, his Four Cave Heavens had finally all transformed into King Realms!

Opening four King Realms by oneself, that was an unprecedented feat in the entire True Spirit Continent. From now on, he would truly embark on the Fusion Emperor Road. How could Xiao Ye not be excited?

Rumble!

Xiao Ye’s body radiated with red light, which was the King Martial Power of Fire Attribute, sweeping across the stone house like a surge of waves that violently shook the space, as if it were about to collapse.

"This brat!" Seeing Xiao Ye’s transformation, clearly succeeding in converting to King Realms, Elder Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Elder Yang was astonished in his heart.

Xiao Ye actually used a full forty days to transform the Four Cave Heavens into the King Realm, and even evaporated all the water from the Spirit King Pool, how astounding that is. If it were to spread out, it’s not just the Taiyi Palace that would be shaken, but probably the entire Central State would be stirred.

"This is a piece of Rough Jade, nothing untoward can happen during its growth!" Elder Yang’s eyes were brimming with Divine Light as he stared at Xiao Ye, who was releasing energy in midair, and thought to himself.

"Elder Yang!"

Xiao Ye retracted all his aura and flew to Elder Yang’s side, cupping his hands with a smile.

Having successfully transformed the Four Cave Heavens into the King Realm, Xiao Ye was in a very good mood right now.

But Elder Yang spoke with a grave expression, "Kid, the matter that I’m about to talk to you about is of utmost importance, you must listen carefully!"

Seeing Elder Yang’s demeanor, Xiao Ye’s smile faded, and he nodded in response: "Please speak, Elder Yang."

"It doesn’t matter to me what kind of fortuitous encounters you’ve had that allowed you to spend a full forty days in the Spirit King Pool; nor do you need to tell me. Moreover, you mustn’t tell this news to anyone else."

"Outstanding wood is felled by the wind; you surely understand this principle. So, if someone were to ask about it in the future, just say you encountered some mishaps during the transformation of realms, which caused the delay. Have you got it?"

"Forty days!"

Upon hearing this number, Xiao Ye was shocked in his heart.

He had closed his senses off during the transformation into the King Realm and thus couldn’t feel the passage of time at all. He didn’t expect to have taken so many days.

Xiao Ye quickly understood the meaning behind Elder Yang’s words and promptly nodded, expressing his gratitude: "I understand your point, Elder Yang; I appreciate it."

Indeed, if it were known that he had spent a full forty days in the Spirit King Pool, it would definitely attract much attention and might even expose his secrets. He wasn’t foolish and of course understood the benefits of keeping a low profile for now.

"Very well, now follow me out. Those youngsters outside have been itching to drag you out. As for the Spirit King Pool, it will refill on its own in two hours," Elder Yang said with satisfaction, nodding his head and then walking with his hands clasped behind him towards the outside of the stone house space.

Xiao Ye scratched his head awkwardly; monopolizing the Spirit King Pool for forty days and even drying it up indeed made him feel rather embarrassed.

"By the way." Elder Yang, who was walking ahead, suddenly turned his head towards Xiao Ye, revealing a mysterious and profound smile, "From now on, you can come here to find me during the middle of each month, practice here for three days under my guidance. The rest of the time is for you to arrange as you please."

Xiao Ye was startled by these words, then his eyes blazed with intense light.

Did Elder Yang mean he was preparing to pass on his legacy to him?

Xiao Ye couldn’t help but get excited in his heart; this was truly a double blessing, an opportunity coming his way.

Just from Tian Jiu’s attitude towards Elder Yang, one could tell that this unkempt old man definitely possessed exceptional skills and was not at all simple.

"I wonder what Elder Yang’s legacy will be." Xiao Ye thought to himself as he gazed at Elder Yang’s retreating figure, his eyes flickering.

Whoosh!

As Xiao Ye followed Elder Yang out of the stone house, the Disciples present immediately burst into an uproar, with all eyes falling on Xiao Ye.

"Hmph, there’s no need to look anymore; this Disciple encountered a mishap while transforming into the King Realm, was on the brink of deviating, that’s why it took so long. In two hours, you can enter the Spirit King Pool," Elder Yang said coldly, causing Xiao Ye to chuckle inwardly.

Upon hearing this, the Disciples immediately showed contemptuous smiles on their faces, thinking that even when transforming the realms, Xiao Ye nearly deviated from his Cultivation; it seemed that he wasn’t as exceptional as the rumors suggested.

At that moment, a defiant voice rang out.

"Junior Brother Xiao Ye, I’ve been looking for you for a long time, so you were here."
