Ancient Devouring Technique

Chapter 244 Shocking the Whole Audience
There were two people standing on a mountain top.

It was Ye Xuan, and the peerless beauty Xuan Yue, who was wearing a snow-white dress.

The woman at this moment, with her long, smooth hair tied up high, looked dignified and noble. Her perfect face was calm and elegant. A blue sword shadow mark appeared between her eyebrows, emitting extremely powerful sword aura.

The woman looked at the rising sun in the sky with a calm expression and said indifferently: "The ultimate goal of martial arts is to transcend reincarnation and gain eternal life. How many people can do it?"

Ye Xuan frowned, looking at the graceful figure of the woman, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Are you really going to leave?"

Xuan Yue did not answer. Her indifferent and flawless face showed no expression. She continued, "Don't spread what happened last night. Otherwise, it will be bad for you."

"Heh... I understand. If there are any rumors out there, just come and kill me!" Ye Xuan smiled bitterly after hearing her words...

Maybe she was just trying to repay a favor.

Ye Xuan looked at Xuan Yue in front of him with complicated eyes. The difference between their cultivation was too big after all. Maybe he could really protect her in the future, but not now...

Ye Xuan opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.

After hearing Ye Xuan's words, Xuan Yue nodded and said, "The value of the boundary plate is immeasurable. If you have any other requests, you can put forward them and I can exchange them."

The woman turned around and looked at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan's face darkened, and then he said angrily, "Who do you think I am? Do you think I took out the boundary plate just for you..."

Ye Xuan didn't say anything else, but he felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Xuan Yue was startled, and then a strange look appeared on her noble face.

With a light sigh, Xuan Yue floated up and flew towards the sky ahead. Her long white skirt fluttered in the wind and her figure was graceful, just like the Lady of the Nine Heavens.

Watching the woman fly away like this, a hint of reluctance appeared in Ye Xuan's eyes.

He took two quick steps forward, but then stopped.

"Am I too greedy?" Ye Xuan murmured.

He has lived two lives, but in his previous life he had never experienced any sexual experience. No pretty woman would be attracted to him, and he couldn't afford to marry an ordinary woman.

Even though he was reborn, he never imagined that the woman with whom he would have a second intimate relationship would be a powerful female leader whose cultivation was much higher than his, and also a peerless beauty. She was completely different from the gentle and pretty woman he had imagined.

But because of this, Ye Xuan attaches more importance to this experience and cherishes it even more.

"Perhaps I am really too greedy. I have already promised Yingwu, but..." Ye Xuan was disappointed and his mood was a little out of control.

His face suddenly changed, and with a thought, a golden reincarnation martial spirit appeared behind him.

Ye Xuan turned around and grabbed an ancient tripod shadow from his reincarnation martial soul.

It is the Sky-supporting Cauldron.

The ancient tripod soul floated in the palm of his hand, slowly rotating, with three silver, gray and blue spiritual flames dancing inside it.

"Zi Ling, go catch up with her and give this soul tripod to her."

"Shua~!", the purple-gold snake on Ye Xuan's wrist flew out, biting the cauldron soul and broke through the air.

"With the king-level martial spirit, the Sky-Supporting Cauldron, by his side, Xuan Yue won't be in much danger on this trip!" Ye Xuan stood with his hands behind his back.

Lending martial spirits to others is extremely dangerous, and often fathers and sons won't do that.

Ye Xuan's cultivation was too low, and he was simply unable to activate the Heaven-Supporting Cauldron, a king-level martial soul. He believed that with his cultivation at the Xuan Yue Martial Emperor level, he would be able to activate the Heaven-Supporting Cauldron and increase his combat power dramatically!
"How can my Ye Xuan's woman be out there without a powerful treasure to protect herself?"

Ye Xuan smiled slightly. Through the Chengtian Ding, he could also sense Xuan Yue’s location at any time!
. . . . . .

Near most sects, there is a directly affiliated or subordinate martial arts city. Yunxiao City is such a martial arts city. Just from the name, you can tell that it is a directly affiliated martial arts city of the Yunxiao Sect.

As one of the six major sects in Nanzhou, Yunxiao Sect is not as powerful as others, but it is a major alchemy sect with most of its members being alchemists. Most of the elixirs in Nanzhou come from Yunxiao Sect.

By joining the Yunxiao Sect, one can learn the art of alchemy and become an alchemist. This is the pursuit of many warriors, so every time the Yunxiao Sect recruits disciples, it will attract many warriors without sects, as well as many family disciples.

Yunxiao City is located in the northern part of Nanzhou. It is very prosperous because it is the largest medicine market in the northern part of Nanzhou.

During the process of practicing martial arts, elixirs can be said to be one of the most indispensable aids for martial artists. Whenever martial artists need elixirs, they all like to go to Yunxiao City to buy them. Not only are the varieties complete, but the prices are also cheaper than those in other martial arts cities.

Even in normal times, Yunxiao City is bustling. But in the past few days, Yunxiao City has reached a peak of bustle, because now is the period when Yunxiao Sect is recruiting disciples, so it is naturally several times more bustling. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as "huge crowds of people". When Qingyun Valley was recruiting disciples, the bustle in Qingyun City was nothing compared to this.

In Yunxiao City, on the huge and vast martial arts arena, there were crowds of warriors and it was noisy.

Ye Xuan was in the crowd, looking up at a high platform in front of him.

At this time, the selection of Yunxiao Sect disciples has begun.

In the huge square, ten competition arenas stood in the middle. On each arena, two warriors were fighting each other. Every exciting moment attracted cheers from many warriors around.

Next to each battle platform, there is a huge crystal monument standing, on which it is clearly displayed how many numbers are fighting against how many numbers.

Three days ago, Ye Xuan's mood became a little unstable, but he calmed down immediately, and then he traveled day and night to arrive at Yunxiao City.

Now he had to improve his strength as much as possible and find a way to obtain the blood of the White Tiger in order to prepare for the upcoming journey to the Beiqiong Secret Realm and the exchange with Xuanyue Sword Sect disciples four months later.

Both the journey to the Beiqiong Secret Realm and the exchange would surely be extremely dangerous.

And Ye Xuan couldn't really watch Xuan Yue die, as his time was extremely limited.

What surprised Ye Xuan was that the Yunxiao Sect had been recruiting disciples recently. According to some rumors in the city, the Yunxiao Sect suddenly recruited disciples just for the Beiqiong Secret Realm which would be opened soon.

You should know that the Yunxiao Sect is a major alchemy sect, and its disciples and elders are basically devoted to practicing alchemy, but their performance in fighting as warriors is somewhat disappointing. Therefore, this time, the Yunxiao Sect will only accept disciples in the True Spirit Realm, and will not look at talent, but only at martial arts combat power!
Ye Xuan had signed up half a day ago and had already found his match number. Ye Xuan, number 1,501, challenged number 100 for a run-in, on the eighth stage.

On the crystal tablet, there were also instructions on the relevant competition. It was very simple, "Those who defend the ring for ten rounds will advance to become disciples of the Yunxiao Sect. On the battlefield, life or death does not matter. Those who do not admit defeat will fight to the death!"

As long as the challenger does not come on stage for more than one minute, he will be eliminated, and the defender will be considered to have won the round!
"There are six of them now, and their competition is so fierce. If Zhang Kui loses again, he will only have three rounds left to successfully enter the Yunxiao Sect. It's hateful, how can this guy's strength be so abnormal." A young man in the crowd stared at the two fighting figures above the high battle stage and said in a low voice.

"This Mo He is indeed a genius of the Mo family. It is said that among the Mo family members, there are people who hold the position of steward in the Yunxiao Sect."

Someone nearby also sighed.

"How hateful! He is only twenty years old and has already reached the eighth level of the True Spirit Realm. His aura is even more powerful." The young man's face was gloomy and he was extremely depressed. He was also one of the challengers in the run-in. Although he was the ninth one and had the advantage of being well rested, he had no confidence at all after seeing the terrifying and fierce fighting power of the previous rounds of run-in.

"what……"

At this moment, with a shrill scream on the battlefield, Zhang Kui was pierced through the body by a bullet from Mo He.

"Who can fight with me!" Mohe roared fiercely, swung the spear in his hand, and threw the screaming Zhang Kui off the high fighting platform.

"Bang!" Mohe slammed the spear in his hand into the ground, standing there domineeringly with a defiant look. At this moment, he was the focus of everyone's attention, enjoying incomparable glory.

He glanced at the crowd below, his eyes full of disdain, and said with a grin: "A bunch of trash, this entry quota is for me to get, those who don't want to die, come up here."

As soon as the words of running-in fell, there was an uproar below.

"This guy is just as arrogant and vicious as the rumors say. He shot and killed three of the seven challengers!"

The crowd was infuriated, but had to admit that the run-in was really strong.

Next, when the Yunxiao Sect law enforcer who was presiding over the competition called out to the eighth challenger to come on stage, there was no response. After waiting for a minute, no one came. Everyone knew that the eighth challenger was afraid of the adjustment period and did not dare to come on stage to challenge.

"Ninth place!"

The enforcer shouted again, but there was still no response. The ninth challenger was hiding in the crowd, trembling all over, with a struggling expression. After a long time, when one minute passed and the enforcer announced that he was eliminated, he breathed a sigh of relief, with sweat on his face.

"It's really ridiculous that a major alchemy sect actually recruits disciples through fighting. I have a talent for alchemy, so it's normal that I'm not good at fighting." The ninth young man who challenged had a dazed look in his eyes and muttered to himself, as if he was comforting himself.

“Haha, you bunch of losers, you don’t even dare to go on stage…” After the run-in, he saw that no one dared to challenge him anymore, so he laughed wildly. “Haha, what about the last challenger? He won’t be a coward as well.”

The people below were all furious when they saw how arrogant he was.

"Oh, that's not good." A not very loud voice suddenly sounded, gentle and with a smile, causing a stir among the angry crowd.

There was a flash of surprise in the eyes of the crowd. They looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man in blue clothes walking out of the crowd and stepping onto the stage steadily and calmly.

The boy was wearing ordinary blue clothes, had a clean face and a well-proportioned body, and looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old.

What is amazing is that he has a smile on his face, and his eyes are clear and clean, yet give people a sense of depth and spirit.

It was Ye Xuan.

Mo He's face darkened, looking eerie and cold.

"You, did you just say that to me?"

"Yes, what's wrong with that?" Ye Xuan said, standing on the martial arts stage.

He grinned cruelly, looked at Ye Xuan with a cold gaze, and said, "Do you know what happened to those who spoke to me like this?"

Ye Xuan chuckled. In the world of martial arts, it was normal to take someone's life if there was a disagreement.

He didn't want to talk any more about this, and the energy in his body turned, and an aura of martial arts cultivation at the fifth level of the True Spirit Realm suddenly spread from his body.

"What? He is only at the fifth level of the True Spirit Realm...?!"

"Is this kid crazy? He has the cultivation level of the fifth level of the True Spirit Realm, but he dares to challenge the run-in on stage?"

"Isn't this just asking for trouble?"

In the vast fighting arena, many spectators paused, and then they were shocked, thinking that this guy was crazy. A fifth-level True Spirit Realm dared to challenge Moshi, who was at the eighth level of the True Spirit Realm.

In the distance, on the Yunxiao Sect’s viewing platform, several Yunxiao Sect’s core disciples with powerful auras also noticed the movements on the No. 8 battle platform.

"Senior Brother Xiong, this boy is quite courageous?" The speaker was a core female disciple in a green skirt. She was sitting on a high viewing platform and said with a smile to a burly man beside her.

"Well, this boy's aura is relatively condensed, but his cultivation is too low. He should be able to hold out for a few moves." Xiong He nodded.

He and several other core disciples have all reached the great perfection of the True Spirit Realm. When the Beiqiong Secret Realm opens in the near future, they will all enter the secret realm and each lead a team.

Therefore, ten core disciples including Xiong He came to the observation platform to look for candidates for the team members who would enter the secret realm.

Most of Xiong He's core disciples could advance to the Martial King realm a few years ago, but they have been suppressing their cultivation for the sake of the Beiqiong Secret Realm and have not made a breakthrough. Although they have made a lot of preparations over the years, their combat experience is unsatisfactory due to their lack of alchemy skills, so they all want to select a few disciples with strong combat power.

"Junior Sister Zilan, the adjustment is good, but the cultivation is still a little low. This time, the selection should focus on the ninth level of the True Spirit Realm." A graceful young core disciple in white reminded the woman in green skirt with a smile.

Zi Lan was startled, "Oh, Senior Brother Wen, did you see any good contestant?"

……

Just as several core disciples on the viewing platform were looking for members for their own teams, on the No. 8 platform, Mo He Kuang Ba burst into laughter.

He pointed the spear in his hand at Ye Xuan and said contemptuously, "Boy, you dare to come on stage when you are only at the fifth level of the True Spirit Realm. If that's the case, then you don't need to live any more!"

The gun stabbed out with a sharp force, and the powerful force of Kuangba's gun rushed out, bringing with it a roar, like the roar of an angry wolf, and the eighth level of True Spirit Realm's cultivation broke out in full force.

Facing the powerful momentum of the gun, Ye Xuan's black hair was blown.

He raised his hand lightly and said "Liwei!".

"Bang!" With a loud muffled sound, the entire battlefield seemed to shake. Mo He felt as if he was hit by an invisible monster. His body flew out of the high battlefield like a cannonball and flew over the heads of the crowd watching the battle.

"Ah~~!" He screamed in the air, and blood spurted out of his mouth, drawing a long blood line in the air.

It flew dozens of feet away before falling into the crowd.

"Wow...wow." A few mouthfuls of blood gushed out from his mouth as he fell to the ground. Amid the shocked gazes of the people around him, his body twitched twice, his eyes closed, and he fainted.

Ye Xuan lowered his raised right hand. His expression was extremely calm from beginning to end. He said calmly, "You said too much."

Hiss~~~! There was a sound of people sucking in cold air.

The crowd watching the fight suddenly fell silent, their hearts were shaken. This guy... actually sent Mo He flying with just one palm?
Everyone was shocked. This boy was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and at the fifth level of the True Spirit Realm. However, the eighth level True Spirit Realm warrior couldn't even take on his single move!

What shocked everyone even more was that many of them didn't even see how Ye Xuan made his move or what martial arts he used.

"Uh...how did he knock that person away just now?" Xiong He was stunned for a moment, then said in astonishment.

Wen Hua, the core disciple of the young man in white, was also dumbfounded. The folding fan fell from his hand and fell to the ground without him noticing.

Zilan was also shocked and felt very surprised.

Of course, there are all kinds of martial souls emerging in the martial arts world, and the abilities of martial soul skills are also strange. Although everyone was surprised, it was only because Ye Xuan, with his cultivation level of the fifth level of the True Spirit Realm, was able to instantly defeat the eighth level of the True Spirit Realm.

"It should be a gravity technique, but this technique is usually practiced by those with earth-type martial spirits. I didn't sense any earth-type energy in this person."

"A person with a magnetic spirit can also do this. He might be a person with a magnetic spirit!"

"Humph, some martial arts also attack invisible and intangible things. There's nothing strange about that."

……

The people below were discussing for a while.
