Master Qingyun roared angrily, his internal energy surging violently.

He raised his right hand, and the Qingfeng Sword behind him shot out.

Its sharp edge and chilling aura revealed it to be a top-grade spirit sword!

"Azure Cloud Sword Technique, heed my command!"

"Slay all demons and monsters, and quell all injustice in the world!"

Master Qingyun chanted incantations and made hand seals, activating the spiritual sword.

In an instant, a streak of azure sword light pierced through the air, incredibly sharp.

"Is that all you have?"

Ye Ming sneered, not taking it seriously at all.

He stretched out his right hand, his five fingers like hooks, and reached out to grab the sword light.

With a crisp clang, the sword's edge was crushed by Ye Ming.

"How is this possible? My Azure Cloud Sword Technique..."

Master Qingyun stared wide-eyed, hardly believing what he was seeing.

His signature skill, honed over decades, was easily neutralized by Ye Ming.

Just how terrifying is this kid's strength?

"It seems you can't withstand these three moves."

Ye Ming smiled knowingly, the corners of his mouth turning up.

"Now, shouldn't I be allowed into the library?"

"you……"

Master Qingyun was so angry that he trembled all over, but he was helpless.

He knew that he had already lost.

There's nothing shameful about losing to a master like Ye Ming.

"Okay, I agree."

Master Qingyun sighed helplessly and had no choice but to admit defeat.

"However, I have a request, and I hope you will grant it."

"Oh? You said."

Ye Ming asked with great interest.

"Although my cultivation is inferior to yours, I am, after all, the head of a sect."

"If we lose to you like this, it will damage the reputation of Wuling."

Master Qingyun looked troubled, as if he had something difficult to say.

"Therefore, I would like to ask you, sir, if it is possible to keep this matter confidential for the time being?"

"I will personally announce this news to my disciples later."

"Well, what is your opinion, Your Excellency?"

Master Qingyun looked at Ye Ming with eager anticipation in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Ye Ming was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter.

"Haha, I see! No wonder you agreed so readily."

"So you're afraid of losing face, Taoist priest."

Ye Ming laughed until his stomach hurt and tears almost came out.

[Jiang Tong (Naruto World): Wow, this old man is so vain!]

[Wang Lei (One Piece World): It's just one loss, is it really that big of a deal?]

The other members in the group were speechless when they heard Master Qingyun's request.

In their view, what cultivators should pursue is the vast and boundless world.

What's the big deal about a mere victory or defeat?

"Alright, alright, I agree."

Ye Ming laughed until he was done before reluctantly agreeing.

"I, Ye Ming, have always been easygoing and will not expose your shortcomings."

"However, in exchange, I'll have to stay in the library a little longer."

Ye Ming's eyes darted around, and he started to make his own plans.

Since we're already in there, it would be a waste not to make the most of it.

"Thank you for your kind consideration!"

When Master Qingyun heard Ye Ming agree, he was overjoyed.

He bowed repeatedly, appearing deeply grateful.

"The Sutra Repository is located on the highest peak here. I will take you there now."

"As for how long you wish to stay, that is entirely up to you!"

Master Qingyun was extremely attentive, as if afraid that Ye Ming would change his mind.

Ye Ming chuckled inwardly, but remained outwardly composed.

"Then I'll trouble you to lead the way, Taoist priest."

"By the way, are there any offensive martial arts manuals in the Sutra Repository?"

Ye Ming asked, seemingly casually.

What he needs most right now is a powerful offensive tactic.

Only by continuously improving one's strength can one gain a foothold in the heavens.

"Yes, of course!"

Master Qingyun nodded vigorously.

"Our ancestors in the Wuling Kingdom have created countless divine skills and secret manuals."

"Those 'Tai Chi Divine Skill' and 'Pure Yang Limitless Skill' are top-tier martial arts techniques."

"Once mastered, you will shine as brightly as the sun and moon, and your might will shake the world—truly deserving of such glory!"

Master Qingyun spoke eloquently, making Ye Ming's heart itch with anticipation.

"Then what are we waiting for? Take me there right now!"

Ye Ming could no longer contain himself and urged.

"As ordered!"

Master Qingyun respectfully led the way, with Ye Ming following closely behind.

Throughout the journey, he was filled with excitement and passion.

Finally, he is about to take another step forward on his path of cultivation!

……

Meanwhile, in a dark cave...

A man in a black robe with a gloomy face was sitting cross-legged.

"Hehe, that kid actually went to Wuling Mountain."

"It seems he wants to use the power of the Martial Spirit to deal with me."

The man in black robes sneered repeatedly, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

"Unfortunately, he was still too naive."

"No matter how strong Wu Ling is, how could he be my match?"

"Besides, does that kid really think Wu Ling is genuinely helping him?"

The man in the black robe spoke with utter disdain.

In his view, Ye Ming was nothing more than a frog in a well, ignorant of his own limitations.

Is a mere Martial Spirit worthy of being his enemy?

What a joke!

"Fine, let him live a little longer."

"I'll destroy him with my own hands once he grows up."

"That's more fun, hahaha!"

The man in black robes laughed wildly, his laughter echoing through the cave for a long time.

Ye Ming, you'd better make me proud!

Otherwise, you won't even know how you died.

……

The mountain path was rugged, and Ye Ming followed Master Qingyun for half an hour.

Finally, a magnificent palace appeared before them.

The palace is entirely white and has a magnificent presence.

With its triple eaves and nine-ridged spire, it exudes the grandeur of a celestial palace.

The plaque in the center bears three large characters written in a vigorous and elegant style: Sutra Repository.

"What a magnificent place!"

Ye Ming praised sincerely, his eyes shining brightly.

"That's right, my Martial Spirit Scripture Pavilion is the place with the most books in the world!"

Master Qingyun proudly raised his head, quite pleased with himself.

"The books inside are as numerous as hairs on a cow. Even I have only scratched the surface."

"I believe that if you study it carefully, you will surely gain something!"

Master Qingyun also praised Ye Ming highly, placing great hopes on him.

"That's natural."

Ye Ming nodded, eager to try.

"I'll go in now, please don't see me off."

He strode quickly toward the library.

Without even saying goodbye, they disappeared at the palace gate.

"Hey, this kid, how can he be so rude?"

Master Qingyun shook his head helplessly, but a hint of doting smile appeared on his lips.

He knew that Ye Ming was eager to achieve quick results and wanted to become stronger.

As a senior, how could he not be considerate of the younger generation?
