Chapter 503: with translation of chapter title
"Liuer Yun, was that image just now something you created?" Liang Xue also sent a Transmission Voice to Ye Liuyun to inquire.
Miaoyin was the same, asking Ye Liuyun what had happened. Even Jing Wudi curiously asked Ye Liuyun.
They all knew that the Golden Pupil, Blood Thunder, and Golden Crow Holy Fire were things only Ye Liuyun possessed, so they immediately went to ask him.
Ye Liuyun immediately told them: "It was I who, while cultivating, accidentally created it!" As for the specifics of how he cultivated, Ye Liuyun didn't explain to them. He merely gave them a heads-up so they wouldn't worry.
Upon hearing this, they were all secretly shocked in their hearts: "What cultivation technique is this, so powerful!"
But these people didn't inquire about his privacy; instead, they were secretly happy for him in their hearts.
Only Mo Tianheng, after glancing at Ye Liuyun, gave a faint smile.
Although Mo Tianheng lacked the Golden Pupil that could see through things, he was adept at using Heaven and Earth Power. Even though Ye Liuyun had his eyes closed, Mo Tianheng could still "see" Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil. As for the Blood Thunder and Golden Crow Holy Fire, he didn't need to look; he could sense them emanating from Ye Liuyun's body.
He guessed it right away: just now Ye Liuyun was wandering the Taixu in spirit.
"This Ye Liuyun learns astonishingly fast! He's truly a cultivation prodigy, his future limitless! No wonder his cultivation speed can even catch up to mine." Mo Tianheng also sighed in his heart.
The people of Yan Palace, however, were all in an excited state. Even Elder Yan Nine appeared quite agitated.
"This is an omen! Perhaps this martial competition will bring forth a fire-related inheritance. Red Xia, you must seize the opportunity!" Elder Yan Nine instructed Lie Hongxia.
They all regarded this scene as an omen of inheritance in the martial competition!
"Yes, Master, disciple will not disappoint you. I will surely obtain this fire inheritance!" Lie Hongxia now also brimmed with confidence.
In her heart, only a handful of people could rival her, so obtaining the inheritance was practically certain.
However, most people believed this heavenly omen was a portent of disaster. That terrifying scene just now, as dreadful as purgatory, must have been some great deity passing by, warning the Cangyun Continent that a great calamity would occur here.
In short, this fleeting omen drew everyone's attention, with everyone discussing what it signified. The few who actually knew kept silent, merely listening to the crowd's ever more outrageous guesses, finding them amusing.
Ye Liuyun now felt guilty as well. He never imagined that a little cultivation would stir up such a huge mess. This time his cultivation differed from before on the futon at the Holy Martial Academy, where a formation had isolated that portion of heaven and earth.
This time he cultivated directly, without isolation, so the phenomenon manifested.
After grasping this key point, it would greatly aid his future cultivation. Wandering the Taixu offers many cultivation methods, such as embodying myriad things, which would not be detected.
"Next time, be more careful—just embody something others can't see." Ye Liuyun reminded himself inwardly.
At the same time, he secretly wondered: if this works, could my Golden Pupil attack from even greater distances? Thinking this, he resumed cultivation.
This time, while wandering the Taixu, he turned into a streak of flowing light, speeding several hundred thousand li to a desolate mountain range, where he then activated his Golden Pupil and looked down.
Indeed, the ferocious beasts in the mountain range all prostrated themselves, sensing this pressure. Yet his Golden Pupil attack was not released. Upon exerting force, his soul instantly returned to his physical body.
"Looks like I still need more practice—I can't pull off this move yet." Although he didn't unleash it this time, he clearly felt the approach was correct; he simply hadn't yet learned to employ that Heaven and Earth Power for attack.
Moreover, his own strength couldn't keep up with the speed and distance of his soul's wandering. He needed to first draw upon the fire power between Heaven and Earth, imitate his own Golden Crow Holy Fire, and then release it as an attack.
"I'll practice later!" Ye Liuyun thought, and stopped pushing himself. This time, merely finding the sensation of wandering the Taixu was already great progress.
Ye Liuyun had just stopped, thinking to move about, when he saw a thick mass of demonic qi swiftly drifting from afar toward him.
The crowd on the transmission platform all tensed up and stared at that demonic qi. Ye Liuyun also looked over and, from afar, saw the ox-headed demon tribe chieftain he had met at Wanmo Ridge, leading six demon tribesmen rushing here.
The remaining six demon tribesmen were two at the Fifth Layer of Tian Gang, two at the Sixth Layer, and two at the Seventh Layer.
"What are they up to? How did they come out?" Ye Liuyun wondered in his heart.
Others had roughly the same thought as Ye Liuyun, now speculating about the demon tribe's intentions.
When those demon tribe members landed, the surrounding people naturally stepped aside. They didn't bother explaining anything to others, just stood silently, waiting.
Only the ox-headed chieftain sent a Divine Sense Transmission to Ye Liuyun: "The demon tribe also accepted the invitation to the Cangyun Martial Competition. After all, we are part of the Cangyun Continent's strength. However, last time you came, you slew many demon tribe geniuses, leaving us short of the required ten. Could you let Lei Long come assist us? Perhaps she might encounter her own opportunity."
Ye Liuyun hadn't expected the demon tribe could also participate in the Cangyun Martial Competition. But upon reflection, even Qiu Chen Feng, who had defected to the Dark Night Demon Hall, had come, so the demon tribe's presence was normal.
The demon tribe chieftain's words were few, yet they moved Ye Liuyun. Indeed, Lei Ming should be given a chance.
Thus, he immediately used Divine Sense to contact Lei Ming, asking whether she wanted to go join the excitement.
Over the past ten-plus days, Lei Ming had been cultivating inside the Xuan Kong Stone, already bored stiff. When Ye Liuyun asked, she agreed without a word.
Ye Liuyun also replied to the ox-headed chieftain: "Fine, I'll have her follow you. But you must look after her well! She lacks worldly experience—don't let her get into trouble!"
"Don't worry! I'll guard her more dearly than my own life!" the ox-headed chieftain directly replied.
Ye Liuyun then, without further ado, had Lei Ming come out, gave her a few more instructions, and sent her to stand with those demon tribe members.
Yun Meng, who had been watching Ye Liuyun from afar, hastily covered her mouth with her hand. Otherwise, she feared she would cry out in surprise.
When Ye Liuyun opened his eyes, his Golden Pupil was revealed, looking almost exactly like the Golden Pupil that had appeared in the sky just earlier.
Although others also saw it, they didn't think along those lines. Only Yun Meng, who had always been curious about Ye Liuyun, would associate it with the Golden Pupil in the sky just before.
However, she couldn't be certain whether it was Ye Liuyun who produced it. Anyway, she felt in her heart that the omen must have some connection to Ye Liuyun.
