Chapter 101: Former Hall Master, Martial Hall . . .
Ye Yuan ascended the following steps like taking a leisurely stroll in a courtyard.
Having reached the Heart Like Still Water Realm, this Nine Heavens Road's illusionary realm practically only existed nominally to him.
He ascended one step after another, strong and firm, and crossed the entire second stage in an instant.
Su Yubai's face turned completely black looking at this scene.
He had already sentenced Ye Yuan to death twice and did not expect Ye Yuan to revive again.
Not only did he revive, but he was also living even stronger!
Now, he could not leave nor could he stay. He stood there very awkwardly.
He was not resigned to leaving either. If he did not witness Ye Yuan being annihilated by the Nine Heavens Road with his own eyes, he would not feel at ease when eating and sleeping even if he returned.
But he had already walked out of the pavilion. How could he not leave now? Could it be that he had to turn back, sit down, and be critical about it?
He could not afford to lose his face!
Su Yubai's face alternated color several times. Finally, he swept his sleeves and left.
The other elders actually really wanted to see if Ye Yuan could succeed in his challenge. This was a historic moment!
However, they saw that Su Yubai had left, so they naturally did not find it appropriate to sit back down. They could only follow along.
On the other side, Zuo Bugui watched Ye Yuan's steady footsteps and involuntarily swallowed his saliva.
To actually break through in such a manner on the Nine Heavens Road, he truly no longer knew how to describe Ye Yuan.
But at this moment, Long Tang suddenly turned around and was about to leave. Zuo Bugui was stupefied and hurriedly asked, "You aren't watching anymore, Old Long?"
Long Tang did not slow his footsteps and merely waved his hands with his back facing Zuo Bugui. "The overall situation has been set. There's nothing to see anymore. I'll go make my preparations. The next one will be me!"
Finishing, Long Tang left straightaway.
"The overall situation has been set?" Zuo Bugui repeated this and then muttered, "He's so sure that Ye Yuan can clear it? Even if he already broke through to the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm, it's still only the Essence Qi Realm. The last 333 steps are the most challenging segment of the road. Can an Essence Qi Realm cross it?"
Ye Yuan was still very respectful in his heart towards a figure like him who sacrificed himself for the development of the sect.
One had to know that this elder already did not have much lifespan back then. Splitting out divine sense to host the array formation would result in an even greater loss of lifespan.
What reason did he have to be discourteous towards such a selfless person?
"Ye Yuan? Not bad, not bad. This old man is Lu Yan. I'm the Tranquil Cloud Sect's 35th generation, Martial Hall, Hall Master!"
"So senior is the Martial Hall's Hall Master. This Junior pays his respect." Ye Yuan bowed respectfully.
" Haha! Quickly get up, quickly get up. I'm already a dead person, so what's the point of you doing this sort of empty courtesy? I've already hosted this array for over a hundred years. My divine sense is about to be exhausted already. To be able to encounter a peerless genius such as yourself before I perish, this old man can die peacefully!"
Through special means, divine sense could indeed be sustained for a long time. But there would come the day where it would eventually perish.
This Lu Yan's divine sense could at most hold on for another ten years. At that time, it would completely dissipate from this world.
A former powerhouse, yet he still had to return to dust. This was Lu Yan's desolation and also the anguish of all martial artists.
Even an unparalleled Divine King could not overcome the ravages of time.
Nevertheless, Lu Yan was a broad-minded person. He had long treated life and death lightly.
"I've hosted the Nine Revolutions Turbid Heaven Array for nearly two hundred years. Yet, the number of students I met were barely around ten people. Only that brat called Mo Yuntian from several years back left some impression on me. But compared to you, he was much more inferior!"
"Senior is too kind." Ye Yuan naturally would not blow his own trumpet in front of Lu Yan.
Although Lu Yan only hosted for nearly two hundred years, he was obviously extremely clear on the situation inside this Nine Heavens Road.
Those so-called geniuses did not even register on his radar.
How could one talk about being a genius if they could not even make it past three rounds?
What the Tranquil Cloud Sect required were not this kind of genius. What was needed were geniuses who could revive the Tranquil Cloud Sect, rally, and lead them!
The purpose of the Nine Heavens Road's existence also laid here!
While Mo Yuntian made it past the Nine Heavens Road, it was merely luck.
Heart Like Still Water and this third round was where the true essence of the Nine Heavens Road laid.
Otherwise, why would there be a need to sacrifice a Martial Hall's Hall Head's lifespan to host the array formation?
"Can you promise me something, young man?" Lu Yan suddenly opened his mouth and asked.n-/o((V))e.)l)(b.-1-/n
