The Return of the Great Emperor

Chapter 598 - Degrade

Ye Yan became famous in one battle.

However, later there was news that He Chaoyi admitted defeat because the clan leader and his men showed up. He was afraid that the clan leader and his men would suddenly attack and kill him, so he decisively admitted defeat and retreated.

Many people thought this made sense.

Because from the scene, it was obvious that He Chaoyi had the upper hand, easily tearing apart Ye Yan's defense and injuring him, and he admitted defeat inexplicably.

This made sense!

For a while, Ye Yan's reputation was filled with a lot of disparagement, and people thought he was just lucky.

Even because of this incident, people doubted his battle with Hu Bugui.

In that battle, the air was filled with black air, and no one could see their battle at all. Later, Hu Bugui took the initiative to admit defeat and ended the battle.

So, is there something fishy in this?

There are too many conspiracy theories and skepticism, believing that Ye Yan was just deliberately hyped up by the sect - of course, who dares not deny that Ye Yan is really talented, after all, it only took a few years to become an immortal, which is indeed extraordinary.

But the same is true for Hu Bugui.

Yes, the sect is protecting Hu Bugui.

You see, after Ye Yan defeated Hu Bugui, the Black Wind Sect sent people to block the door and challenge him, but once Hu Bugui lost, the pressure was all on Ye Yan, and the Black Wind Sect was naturally staring at Ye Yan.

In this way, Hu Bugui was freed from danger and could practice with peace of mind. He didn't need to worry about being stared at by the Black Wind Sect and secretly assassinated when he went out for training.

It turned out that this was a chess game played by the sect!

Many people nodded, thinking that they had seen the truth.

After hearing this, Ye Yan couldn't help but look strange.

It turned out that this is how rumors come from.

Then he smiled, with no intention of clarifying it at all.

Others can think whatever they want to think, why should he take it to heart?

His strength is not strong because of others' awe, nor will it be weak because of others' contempt. The nine generations of emperors have long cultivated his belief in invincibility. No matter how the world sees him, he sticks to his original intention.

He is still practicing sword, hoping to combine the two swords into one and truly step into the way of swords. However, this step seems very close, but it is extremely difficult to take it, and he can't take it out.

This made Ye Yan complain about He Chaoyi. Why did he run so fast? Can't he fight for a while longer? Continue to put pressure on him, let him achieve nirvana and suddenly realize the way of swords.

What a pity!

Ning Yuxi and the other two are still in seclusion. Generally speaking, after observing the divine treasure for the first time, it takes hundreds of years to digest and comprehend it. Only a pervert like Ye Yan can complete it within a few years.

——Hu Bugui could also do this, probably because the mysterious existence that replaced him was already an immortal, and his level was relatively high, so it was not surprising that he had laid the immortal bridge and achieved immortality early, and it could not be measured by common sense.

Ye Yan opened his own world and sensed the situation of the three women. He found that they were all stable and in a deep state of understanding, so he was relieved and did not wake them up.

She went back to Taiyang City again, reunited with her family for a few days, and then returned to Qingxian Sect.

Cui Huafeng loved and was optimistic about his disciple very much, and taught him all his skills. Ye Yan was like a sponge. No matter what Cui Huafeng taught, he could always absorb it immediately and then transform it into his own things. He changed it thoroughly, but it was the most suitable for him to use.

He didn't use any of the three Dao fruits. Although this could allow him to comprehend the realm of the immortal Dao of the third-level immortal, according to Cui Huafeng, he has not yet mastered any Dao. It would be a pity to use it now. He should wait until he has mastered at least one Dao. It would be better to use it then.

Ye Yan asked Cui Huafeng how many Daos there are in the immortal world.

"You really stumped me." Cui Huafeng thought for a while and said, "It is generally believed that each series of innate Dao has 49 branches, that is, earth, water, wind, and fire, a total of 196 branches, but it is said that some innate Daos are hidden, not only difficult to master, but also not even discovered!"

"And the acquired Dao is varied, the sword has the sword Dao, the knife has the knife Dao, and it is far from being developed to the extreme. As far as I know, the current extreme of the sword Dao is the thirty-two heavens."

"So, if you want me to tell you an exact number... then I really can't tell you."

Ye Yan also nodded. The innate Dao has always existed, and you can sense it even if you haven't mastered it, so the number is fixed.

For example, the four great ways of earth, water, wind, and fire all have 49 branches, but the acquired great ways are different. They were created and recognized by heaven and earth before they became great ways and were imprinted in heaven and earth.

But the fairy world has existed for who knows how many years, and the sword path only has 32 layers of heaven now?

Is it because Cui Huafeng has been to too few places and has a limited vision? Maybe the sword path has already had 40 layers of heaven or 49 layers of heaven.

"By the way, Master, how big is the fairy world?" he asked again.

No mistakes, just read the content of the book in 16-9!

Cui Huafeng grinned a little. Why is it that the questions asked by this disciple are always questions that he can't answer, or can't answer perfectly!

"Master... I don't know either." He had to say, he couldn't just talk nonsense.

"The fairyland is very big. We are on Taiwu Star. Taiwu Star is very big. Our sect's sphere of influence is 100,000 miles from north to south and from east to west. But if we put it in the entire Taiwu Star, we only occupy one tenth of the territory at most."

"There are countless planets like Taiwu in the fairy world, and there are even countless stars that are several times or hundreds of times larger than Taiwu."

"How big is the fairy world?"

Ye Yan was stunned for a moment, then pointed at the stars in the sky: "Master, do you mean that those stars are all stars similar to Taiwu?"

In Jiuzhou, the stars in the sky are actually very small, and they are just super-large meteorites similar to the Great Xia Dynasty.

Cui Huafeng shook his head: "The star you can see is the sun, which is much larger than the Taiwu star we are on, and the stars that can be inhabited by people do not emit light themselves, but only reflect the light of the sun, so they are much dimmer. Unless they are very close to us, it is extremely difficult to be seen."

Ye Yan was already stunned. This is the fairy world, a real big world!

The stars in the sky are not embellishments, but huge stars that are extremely far away!

"Master, have you been to those stars?" Ye Yan said, pointing to the starry sky.

Cui Huafeng's face was embarrassed again, and he said: "Taiwu Star alone is very big, with countless dangerous places, desolate places, and too many ruins to explore. Why go to other stars?"

In other words, you have never left Taiwu Star.

Understood.

Ye Yan nodded, with a sympathetic look.

"Your expression... If I hadn't been injured, I would have beaten you to the point of calling for help!"
