Chapter 434: Ambition of the Immortal Emperor, the Qingyun Dao Son Is Established

After Ye Jie entered the Jing Tian Shi Lian Tang, what met his eyes was a hall full of mirrors, each mirror reflecting his image.

How come there are so many mirrors here?

Could the self to be challenged possibly come out of the mirror?

Ye Jie looked around, doubtful, and spoke.

As soon as his words fell, the version of him on one of the mirrors walked out from within the mirror.

Challenger, welcome to the Jing Tian Shi Lian Tang.

Defeat me, and you pass; the faster you are, the higher your rank, and the Trial Ranking is based on the time challengers take to pass.

Challenger, are you ready?

Ye Jie was about to nod when he saw his identical self in front, wielding the Seven Tribulations Immortal Sword, rush over at extreme speed.

Ye Jie:??? Can it still be played like this?

With no time to think, he hastily summoned his own Seven Tribulations Sword to meet it.

Bang! Clap! Boom! Clang!

In just a short while, the two Ye Jies fought countless rounds, yet the outcome remained undecided.

Give up, you can't beat me.

Whatever you can do, I can do; whatever you cannot do, I also cannot...

You are me, I am you, you cannot defeat yourself.

The mirror image continued to exert its internal unified deception technique.

Although it doesn't work for most people, one still needs to say it; there are always one or two with unstable mindsets.

For example, that black guy who keeps coming to challenge but always fails.

Black Emperor: You'd better not be talking about me!

You are me?

You're just a tiny mirror image, yet you dare to compare yourself to this seat?

Ye Jie spoke coldly.

No one knows my Seven Tribulations Will, yet I become an invincible immortal through the ages!

I have great ambition; what do you have?

Seven Tribulations Destroy World, destroy!

Ye Jie's Great Luo Eightfold cultivation fully unfolded; he swung his sword, and the mirror image before him instantly shattered.

In the instant of their clash, he found the mirror image's weakness.

To defeat it, one must steady their mindset and defeat it with the power of belief.

Because the mirror image has no emotions and only imitates, when all forces are balanced, the power of belief becomes a way to break that balance.

Afterwards, Ye Jie put away time, calculating time as he walked outward.

After he walked out of the trial hall, the ranking on the list updated accordingly.

Trial Ranking List second place: Ye Jie, two minutes thirty-one seconds.

He was only one second slower than the Sect Master in first place.

What is this called? This is called worldly affairs; the cultivation world is not just about fighting and killing.

Success! Senior Brother Ye Jie succeeded in his challenge!

Two and a half minutes plus a bit, only one second slower than the Sect Master—awesome!

The Sect Master is indeed the strongest! The probability he casually created remains unbroken to this day!

At the same time, within a brightly lit palace atop the Qingyun Immortal Peak.

Not bad; he completed the assessment in just a short day, and he is capable of serving as the Dao Son of my Qingyun Sect.

Feng Qingyang withdrew his divine sense and nodded in satisfaction.

A reincarnated body of a peak Immortal Emperor, and its pretentiousness isn't too bad either.

Sigh, I don't know when the sect's menial disciples will become Immortal Emperors, but then our Qingyun Sect would totally be awesome.

However, at this rate of development, that day won't come too late.

"In one month, the sect will establish a Dao Son."

Feng Qingyang used his divine sense to uniformly transmit a message to all the sect elders, telling them to get ready.

……

One month passed in a flash; during this month, nothing major happened in the Ziyu Dao Realm or the Tianyun Dao Realm, yet every major power's leader felt a faint unease.

One month earlier, when the Qingyun Immortal Sect founded its mountain, it was secretly targeted by the forces of the Five Great Immortal Emperors; why didn't the sect launch retaliation?

The calmer it is now, the more fierce the retaliation will be when it comes; I fear a large-scale immortal war is about to break out—if it spreads to us, it won't be good.

Heavenly Azure Immortal Sea, Qingyun Immortal Sect.

Today, throughout the Qingyun Immortal Sect, joyful and happy laughter abounds.

Many elders and disciples in seclusion have also emerged one after another.

The Qingyun Sect's affiliated forces—the Qing Immortal Clan, the Heaven-Heavy Immortal Clan, and the Meng Immortal Clan—had their clan chiefs bring senior elders from their clans to come congratulate.

At the sect plaza, all Qingyun disciples and various sect elders had been waiting here early.

In the center of the plaza stood a tall platform, upon which sat the high-star elders of the sect above the five-star level.

"Our Qingyun Sect finally has a Dao Son."

"Yes, Senior Brother Ye Jie's talent and strength are absolutely recognized by us; the Dao Son position belongs to none other than Senior Brother Ye Jie."

"They're here! They're here! The Sect Master and company have arrived!"

Only seen, atop the tall platform, Feng Qingyang descended wearing the Sect Master's robes, with a youth beside him.

The youth is Ye Jie; his sect attire is dazzlingly brilliant, deep blue as base, purple‑gold trim as accent, overall elegant and noble, with Dao rhythm flowing.

As the old saying goes, a person relies on clothing, a horse on its saddle.

Ye Jie puts on this sect Dao Son attire, and his bearing instantly improves markedly.

"I am the Lord of the Azure Cloud, Feng Qingyang."

"There is now a sect disciple, Ye Jie, endowed with the talent of ten bell chimes; his future achievements are limitless, and he will complete the sect's assessment within the allotted time."

"Now I declare, appoint Ye Jie as my Azure Cloud Sect Dao Son, to command all disciples and exalt the prestige of the Azure Cloud throughout all heavens and myriad worlds."

Feng Qingyang's solemn voice echoes to the horizon; each word seems to contain the truth of the Great Dao, and as his words fall, countless Great Dao manifestations appear in the firmament above.

"We solemnly obey the Sect Master's command."

"We have met Dao Son Ye."

On the square, countless disciples and elders respond in unison.

On the platform, Ye Jie first bows to Feng Qingyang and everyone below, then raises his head and chest; with a thought, his cultivation of first‑stage Immortal King begins to turn.

He spends one month training in the Time‑Space Reversal Platform; at a time flow ratio of one to five thousand, this equals over four hundred ten years of training.

Thus his cultivation soars from the Great Luo Eightfold to the first‑stage Immortal King realm.

"Thank you, Sect Master, and the approval of all elders and fellow disciples."

"As the sect's Dao Son, I, Ye Jie, will not disgrace the sect nor the prestige of the Azure Cloud disciples."

"The Sect Master told me we are to conquer the Sea of Stars; the Vast Heavenly Universe is merely the beginning, and we will advance together from now on."

"If the Azure Cloud does not scatter, neither will we."

"Should the Azure Cloud fall, we will support it with united hearts!"

Ye Jie's impassioned words, mingled with his cultivation power, once again echo throughout the vast Azure Cloud Sect.

Papapa! Papapa!

Instantly, thunderous applause erupts beneath the platform.

Behind him, Feng Qingyang stands with hands behind his back, nodding in satisfaction.

The deception is already…… pfft, is……

"The Dao Son has Immortal King cultivation! This……"

The affiliated forces—Qing Clan Immortal Family's Qing Tai Xu, Lord of the Heavy Heaven Immortal Clan Tang He, and Lord of the Meng Immortal Clan Meng Yuan—feel Ye Jie's aura, and all three are utterly shocked.

After countless years of training I have only reached peak Immortal King, yet this Dao Son of such age is already catching up to me!

It's infuriating how people compare themselves to others!

I've practically trained myself into a dog's state.

"Big brother, I was just saying this kid is awesome."

"Nonsense, you should call him Dao Son Ye."

Qing Tai Xu and his two companions had just finished their sighs when Black Emperor and Xiao Bai walked over from the side.

Black Emperor hears this, cracks his mouth and bares his teeth: "Sorry, I just blurted it out."

As he passes Qing Tai Xu and company, Black Emperor glances at them and thinks to himself, "Did I just hear them say they cultivated themselves into a dog's state?"
