An Ultimate Martial Art

"According to the rumors, the titles of the lords of heaven are known as sages, generals, kings, emperors, gods, and saints. They are also known as the seven noble titles of the Dao of the Heavens. "A rank nine saint is also a rank nine saint, which is also known as the Boundless Saint of the Great Luo. He represents the most respected existence under the heavens. Legend has it that a saint acts in place of the heavens, and everything below a saint is ants. A saint can obliterate life if they are angry. He is an unimaginable existence!"    

"Then how can we obtain the Sky Realm?"    

"No solution!"    

"Unsolvable?"    

Su Ye frowned again, how could he not understand, since the Heavenly Dao had bestowed him a title, then there should be a way to obtain it.    

"There is no solution. Maybe only the saints who are closest to the Heavenly Dao will know how to obtain a Sky Realm." To ants like us who are not saints, there is only one way to reach the Sky Realm, and that is to become immortals. "    

"Immortal Ascension?" "How difficult!"    

"Hehe, kid, why are you thinking so much. Even if you don't have a Sky Realm master, you will one day achieve great things with a strong will. When that time comes, you might even be able to ascend to the heavens with a single step. To you, right now, the key thing is to cultivate. "    

Su Ye thought that it was true, what Sky Realm warrior, that was probably just a title. It was strength that truly determined an Immortal's height. Without strength, what could he do even if he had a lucky chance of getting a holy seat sealed by the Heavenly Dao?    

He had many cards up his sleeves. As long as he was determined and went against the flow, even if he tried to kill gods and deities to stop the killing of immortals, he wouldn't necessarily be any worse than those Heaven's Path nobles.    

Su Ye took a deep breath, stopped thinking about these things that were extremely far from him, and started to cultivate the "Five Directions Divine Flame Technique".    

The most important thing for him to do was to use the "Five Directions Divine Flame Mantra" to truly combine the Five Directions Spiritual Flames within his body. Only by truly merging the Five Directions Spiritual Flames with their own characteristics could they truly become his own Source Spirit Flames. That was the true face of the Five Directions Spiritual Flames.    

Time passed day by day.    

Under such a situation where no one would intentionally discuss about it, the matter of Su Ye being trapped in Demon Blood Hell once again had gradually been forgotten.    

The human world was like this. Everyone was paying attention to one thing, and people came to pay attention. The matter became more and more intense, and it was uncontrollable. No matter how intense the situation was, it would always disappear into thin air.    

And for the Qing-Yun Sect disciples, the other matter that was about to happen was related to them, which made them feel even more anticipation. All of them were discussing and beaming with joy. It could even be said that everyone was looking forward to it, and was extremely excited.    

This was the great sect competition.    

The so-called great sect competition was an assessment of all the disciples in the sect. It validated what the outer sect, inner sect, and true disciples had learned within a certain period of time. This was the tradition of every cultivation sect. Generally speaking, it was divided into three years once.    

After all, cultivating was not something that could be done overnight. Aside from those people with peerless talent or extremely deep affinity, it was impossible for the majority of people to have a substantial increase in strength in a short period of time. The sect's Large Competition was too short, and it was difficult to truly verify the progress of the sect's disciples.    

Once every three years, it would be more or less appropriate as it would be able to accurately see the level of improvement that the disciples had achieved within three years.    

In order to motivate the disciples to cultivate, various sects would prepare some expensive prizes for the disciples that had won the competition. These prizes might include cultivation techniques, pills, weapons, and even some rare and precious materials.    

In addition, there were also three types of rankings, namely the outer sect's Hidden Dragon Ranking, inner sect's Heaven's Pride Ranking, and the Successor Rivers Ranking.    

These three rankings were based on the strength displayed by the disciples in the Large Competition. Being able to rank on the list meant that he was a genius that surpassed everyone else. Not only would he gain fame, but he would also attract the attention of the sects. With the sect's focus on him, he would gain all sorts of long-term benefits that were extremely attractive.    

It could be said that the most attractive thing in every great sect competition was the rotation of these three rankings. Every disciple would go all out in the sect competition to try their best to defeat even more opponents, so that they could be ranked on the ranking list.    

Even those who knew that they would not be able to make it onto the ranking board no matter how hard they tried would do their best to participate. They hoped that they would be able to display their greatest abilities in the Large Competition and not be overlooked by the sect.    

If there was a competition, there would be victor. If there was a competition, there would be a competition. The disciples of any sect could go to any stage to choose the person they thought would win and bet a certain amount of resources on that person. If they won the bet, then there would be a lot of benefits, and if they failed, then they would naturally become unlucky people to increase the property of the sect.    

The Qing-Yun Sect was no exception.    

The opening ceremony of the new competition was only seven days away, and all sorts of discussions had been sparked up among the sect disciples.    

Almost every disciple that met someone they knew would ask, "Did you take a bet? Who did you take a bet on?"    

If the two sides coincidentally bet on the same person, then it would mean that the both of them thought the same thing and couldn't help but boast for a while. If it was not the same person betting on it, then it would be even more intense. There would inevitably be exchanges of verbal blows, and it would not be surprising even if there were people who rolled up their sleeves and started fighting because they were optimistic about it.    

However, on the eve of the Qing-Yun Sect Competition, some of the owners who wanted to compete for the betters had already set a table for the betters.    

This was the payout rate for the number one spot on the inner sect's Heaven's Pride Board.    

In the eyes of these people, there were a few popular people who were placed at the top of the inner sect's Heaven's Pride Board. Amongst them, Su Ye became the hottest person with the lowest payout rate, only ten to one.    

Those who were listed as popular with Su Ye at the same time were: 1: 3, 1: 4, etc., and even the most exaggerated was 1: 10. Compared to Su Ye, they were simply two extremes.    

Other than the few popular candidates on the Heaven's Pride Board who were ridiculed and humiliated for reading with the crown prince, the people on the betting list did not find it funny. They had even bet on Su Ye the moment they saw him.    

What a joke.    

They were originally the top disciples of the inner sect, Yan Dou, and the top disciples of the inner sect, Zhou Baiyi. These were all the top ten people on the Heaven's Pride Board last time and were all killed by Su Ye during the incident with Chu Yi. It was clear that in the current inner sect, there was no one who could stop Su Ye from reaching the top.    

However, this was not absolute.    

There were also quite a number of people who were not in a hurry to place their bets. After all, those who were in a hurry to start the auction were mostly the weaker ones. These people didn't have enough information on the true experts in the sect. If they bet too early, it would be very easy to miss out on the opportunity to bet on the true big boss.    

Sure enough, after this round of hesitation, three days before the great sect competition began, a heavyweight betting table opened.    

This was an opening set up by the Internal Affairs Elder Mo Landou. The payout rate that he had set in his mouth was completely different from that of the dealer who had snatched time from before. It could even be said that it was as good as turning the sky and the earth upside down.    

Amongst the payout rates set by Mo Landou, there were a total of ten most popular people who were ranked at the top of the Heaven's Pride Board. The one with the lowest payout rate was not the Su Ye that everyone believed was the strongest in the inner sect, but was actually a name that even the inner sect disciples found to be extremely unfamiliar — — Gu Sheng!    

Other than the Gu Sheng, there were also eight other popular names that the other shops did not have. It made people feel confused just by looking at it, and some people even suspected that there were these people in the inner sect of Qing-Yun Sect.    

It just so happened that the payout rates for these people, from lowest to highest, were all actually above Su Ye's.    

In other words, it was publicly accepted that after killing Yan Dou and Zhou Baiyi, he would become the strongest inner disciple, Su Ye. However, in Mo Landou's eyes, he had become the last person on the Heaven's Pride Board.    

With just this betting table, the moment the payout was announced, it instantly caused a thousand ripples, and the entire Qing-Yun Sect was in an uproar. Be it the outer sect or inner sect disciples, the disciples discussed animatedly, and started to inquire about the people who were ranked in front of Su Ye among the inner sect disciples.
