Chapter 1337: Don't bully the poor youth!

"Yang Tianming, speak the truth—you don't like Chi Yao Xianzi? You should know that Chi Yao Xianzi has countless pursuers throughout the Yaochi Star Domain! It's said their pursuers could circle the Yaochi Star Domain three times!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Tianming let out a heh, and some suggestive scenes involuntarily came to mind...

That was the scene of him meeting Chi Yao Xianzi at an ancient relic.

But Chi Yao Xianzi's status is transcendent and her strength formidable; he couldn't seize the opportunity.

A moment of silence.

Yang Tianming suddenly burst into loud laughter, the gloom on his face swept away: "Elder Xiao Yue, Chi Yao Xianzi looks down on me; that's her loss—she's lost a handsome, imposing fiancé! Hahaha!"

Chen Zhangsheng's face twitched.

At this moment, Yang Tianming's lowly appearance reminded him of Mo Diaomao.

Ji Fuyao smiled.

I originally thought Yang Tianming was a solemn person, but I didn't expect him to have such a temperament.

That's actually not bad.

After all, Yang Tianming rose all the way from adversity; he didn't have the protection of a master at the pinnacle of strength, yet he could maintain such a state of mind—one must say his disposition is quite good.

Xiao Yue deliberately said, "Why don't you try to win her over? After all, the Old Emperor favors you greatly. The Old Emperor is the supreme power in the Yaochi Star Domain; whatever he values will surely come to fruition."

Yang Tianming let out a heh and said, "If you think about it carefully, what does Chi Yao Xianzi want from me? Does she want me because I come from this remote star sea? Because my Yang family is weak? To make it out there, you need to talk about background, about power… Those were Chi Yao Xianzi's own words to me."

Although he said he didn't care, deep down Yang Tianming had long harbored an obsession.

What about Chi Yao Xianzi?

"Today you ignore me; tomorrow I'll make you unable to climb high!"

He has obtained the supreme ancient inheritance; once he achieves mastery, he can stand proudly at the pinnacle of the Yaochi Star Domain, even leave it.

He is no longer the destitute youth on Guanxuan Star!

If one were to ask whether he truly likes Chi Yao Xianzi…

Like? Perhaps, but only physical liking—after all, who wouldn't like such peerless beauty?

But deep down, he strongly rejects Chi Yao Xianzi.

Only because Chi Yao Xianzi is too arrogant, looking down on others, she completely regards Yang Tianming as an ant; she personally told him, "Yang Tianming, you are nothing but a lowly life who fortunately obtained the ancient inheritance. But compared to my Yaochi Imperial Dynasty, you are still far inferior—a world of difference."

"What can your individual effort possibly compare to the myriad-year foundation of my Yaochi Imperial Dynasty? If you want me to be your wife, I'd rather smash my head to death! Obtaining this ancient inheritance is already the limit of your lowly life."

Yang Tianming laughed.

Thinking of these, he unconsciously clenched his fists, nails digging deep into his palms, blood flowing out.

Thirty years west of the river, thirty years east—don't bully the poor youth!

Lowly life?

Heh… he never believes in fate!

At this moment, Xiao Yue poked him with her jade finger: "Hey, you said you don't care, but you just zoned out!"

Yang Tianming came to his senses, yet forced a loud laugh: "Hahaha! Really?"

Xiao Yue pursed her lips and asked, "Then Yang Tianming, will you go and break off the engagement?"

"Break off the engagement?" Yang Tianming froze, then his eyes blazed with two flames of fervent fire: "Perhaps when I become strong someday I will break off the engagement. But for now, having the cultivation resources provided by the Old Madman Senior, why not enjoy them? I'm not in a hurry—Chi Yao Xianzi is."

He naturally knows that now is absolutely not the time to break off the engagement.

That Chi Yao Xianzi is cold-hearted and ruthless, extremely concerned with her reputation; if he were to break off the engagement, the entire Yang family might be exterminated by her.

Xiao Yue said, "You brat!"

Yang Tianming pointed at his own head, gave a heh laugh, and said, "The wise do not fall into the river of love!"

Chen Zhangsheng: "……"

Yang Tianming laughed as he looked at Ji Fuyao and Chen Zhangsheng, then got straight to the point: "What do you think—can my talent catch the eye of Venerable Lord Lu?"

Xiao Yue directly pierced his inner thought: "You brat, could it be you want to become Venerable Lord Lu's disciple?"

Yang Tianming spoke frankly: "Of course. Even the Inheritance Master I obtained wants to become Venerable Lord Lu's disciple. Elder Xiao Yue, don't you want that too?"

Xiao Yue's eyes immediately sparkled with little stars: "Of course I want to!"

Chen Zhangsheng said, "Talent and such aren't important. When the master takes disciples, he only cares about 'fate'. Yang Tianming, it just depends on whether you are a fated person."

Yang Tianming, lost in thought, looked up and laughed loudly: "Gain it, I'm fortunate; lose it, it's my fate!"

His disposition is broad-minded, so he isn't confused by this.

It's simply planting such a small wish in his heart.

Not long after, Ji Fuyao and the three said farewell to Yang Tianming.

Chen Zhangsheng reminded, "The master likes tranquility. Regarding his descent here, it must absolutely not be revealed."

Yang Tianming's face grew solemn; he nodded: "I naturally will keep it to myself."

Next, Xiao Yue activated a spatial seal rune, moving Ji Fuyao and Chen Zhangsheng to another expanse of starry space.

This is another branch of Yunya Academy.

A great battle is also taking place here.

Xiao Yue sighed, "Warfire everywhere!"

Over several days, the three shifted within the Cangyun Star Sea; wherever they looked, there were Hehuan Sect and Changsheng Sect, with the Gui Clan engaged in battle.

Faintly, there was also a shadow of the Shou Clan.

Xiao Yue frowned and said, "The reason Changsheng Sect could rise is that everyone can take a shortcut. They feel that painstaking cultivation is no better than directly ingesting parasites, so why bother cultivating? Thus many humans have joined Changsheng Sect, and many forces have also turned toward it."

"Oh, and there's one more thing: that is the Grand Longevity Dao spoken of by the Changsheng Founder, which deludes all beings. Does true longevity really exist in this world?"

Chen Zhangsheng sighed, "Only by stepping into the pinnacle can one be qualified to see longevity."

Ji Fuyao's beautiful eyes slightly furrowed, "Ingesting parasites into the body?"

She couldn't help but think of the Azure Abyss Emperor.

This was once the Lord of the Qingming Heaven, who, step by step, went deeper into the deadly situation meticulously designed by Gu Yue Laozi, and was ultimately forced to become a pawn of Gu Yue Laozi.

He ultimately died from the gu entering his body!

However, what Xiao Yue said is correct; everyone in this world wants to take shortcuts.

Bitter cultivation is not as fast as gu entering the body, so it is normal that everyone is attracted to the Longevity Sect.

After several days wandering the Azure Cloud Star Sea, Ji Fuyao not only gained experience but also gained many insights into the Spirit Fire Great Dao.

This is because the Spirit Fire Dao Resonance is very strong in the Jade Pool Star Region.

This is greatly beneficial to Ji Fuyao's cultivation.

Originally, she was only a thin membrane away from breaking through to the One-Star Dao Void Realm.

Now the membrane has broken.

"I will go into seclusion," Ji Fuyao said.

She felt that she had not seen her master for a long time; although in this foreign world, even though her third junior brother Chen Zhangsheng was by her side, without her master she still felt somewhat empty.

This made her think of the Xuanji Holy Lord: "Fourth Junior Sister is alone in the Deceit Hall; she must be even more lonely."

After Ji Fuyao entered seclusion, Chen Zhangsheng quietly took out an ancient bronze glyph and muttered, "That Yang Tianming is a person of great karma, and Empress Yaoxi, the elder sister of Chi Yao Xianzi, is also a person of great karma."

He wanted to go see Empress Yaoxi in advance.

Chen Zhangsheng directly ignited the ancient bronze glyph from the Bronze Ancient Hall, and his figure vanished on the spot.
