Chapter 53 Qiankun Sword Formation

As the Grand Competition continued, many Disciples gained the Elder's appreciation. Of course, those more talented Disciples had nothing to do with these Elders of Miscellaneous Affairs.

Because some Outer Sect Elders would also come to watch this Miscellaneous Affairs Grand Competition, and they would also take a liking to some promising talents to take as Disciples.

Furthermore, those highly talented Disciples, their goal was certainly to become Disciples of Peak Lords and Outer Sect Elders.

But for Disciples with average talent yet some cleverness, becoming a Disciple of an Elder of Miscellaneous Affairs was a good choice.

Therefore, those Disciples who were favored by the Elders all showed happy expressions.

The Disciples below the stage looked at the situation before them and began to discuss it amongst themselves.

"Look! That Disciple was favored by Elder Huang! He's going to soar! Elder Huang has a Foundation Establishment Stage Level 9 cultivation!"

"If Elder Huang can Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage later, he will be promoted to an Inner Sect Elder, and his Disciple will also be able to soar with him."

"If only I could also be favored by Elder Huang."

"You see, there are also many Foundation Establishment Stage Level 9 Elders on the stage, but they generally don't take Disciples because they all have a chance to Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage and usually won't waste time on teaching Disciples."

"And Elder Su, who just arrived not long ago, I wonder if he will take Disciples? Elder Su has a very high probability of being able to Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage."

"Usually, in private, many people want to become Disciples of Elder Su, and some Disciples even run to Elder Su to show their face as soon as he arrives."

"But Elder Su has never expressed any intention of taking Disciples, otherwise, many Disciples would have gone to visit Elder Su."

It wasn't that no Disciples usually visited him; on the contrary, there were quite a few. But Su Yu always said he wouldn't take Disciples, so gradually, fewer people visited.

"I truly hope Elder Su will consider taking Disciples after watching this Grand Competition! If we perform well, maybe we still have a chance!"

"This Senior Brother makes sense. Let's all put in our best effort and try to get the Elders to notice us."

At this moment, Feng Xi looked at Su Yu and said, "Elder Su, you see, a few Disciples are performing quite well. Do you really have no intention of taking Disciples?"

Su Yu shook his head and said, "I won't consider taking Disciples for now. I haven't even fully understood my own cultivation yet."

Currently, the only one who could receive his teachings was that little girl, Han Ting.

"Alright, since Elder Su is unwilling to take Disciples, then I won't ask any further."

"Let's continue watching the Grand Competition."

Soon, the Grand Competition ended. Many Disciples showed joyful expressions, but most had disappointed looks.

During the Grand Competition, there was no lack of those favored by Outer Sect Elders, which caused exclamations from the crowd. However, the champion of the Grand Competition did not become a Disciple of any Elder. Many Outer Sect Elders extended olive branches to him.

But he refused them all. He said with an arrogant expression that he only wanted to become a Disciple of a Peak Lord, so he could follow in the footsteps of Senior Brother Ye Lin.

He had joined the Xuan Tian Sect for Ye Lin, and he also wanted to become as famous as Ye Lin throughout the Southern Domain, to become the second Ye Lin, thus taking Ye Lin as his role model.

It was precisely because of Ye Lin that the quality of Disciples joining the Xuan Tian Sect at this stage had improved many times over.

Because Ye Lin's reputation was great, many people joined the Xuan Tian Sect specifically for Ye Lin. Ye Lin also brought high prestige to the Xuan Tian Sect.

Su Yu still felt a bit emotional. As expected of that boy Ye Lin, he could influence so many people! Although it was a good thing, wanting to become the second Ye Lin was truly difficult, difficult, difficult!

Just as the people on the Xuan Tian Sect's side were still praising Ye Lin's prowess and discussing his deeds.

Ye Lin, on the other hand, was clearly different from his previous disheveled state. This boy was now smiling and saying,

"I didn't expect this Secret Realm to have so many resources. I was originally planning to leave."

Ye Lin and Li Jiayi continuously scoured the Secret Realm for resources, but soon Ye Lin sensed the aura of the Tree Demon King.

"Oh no, that Tree Demon King still hasn't given up chasing us. Let's go quickly. Is it necessary to chase so relentlessly?"

At this moment, Qing Ling spoke again, saying,

"Something's not right. Haven't you noticed? There isn't just one aura from the Tree Demon King; there are many other Yao Beasts' auras beside the Tree Demon King, and they don't seem weak either."

"Oh no, he has been gathering the Yao Beasts in the Secret Realm, and the scale is getting larger and larger. I didn't expect him to have this ability."

"We can't stay in this Secret Realm. If we stay too long, we might not be able to get out. Let's leave quickly."

At this time, the people in the Secret Realm also discovered the anomaly on the Tree Demon King's side, realizing that the Tree Demon King was gathering other Yao Beasts.

If this continued, everyone who entered this Secret Realm would be in danger, and this news instantly spread among the people in the Secret Realm.

Instantly, everyone in the Secret Realm put down what they were doing. Even those who were originally fighting over resources and clashing stopped their actions.

They rushed towards the exit in unison, as this was not the time for jokes.

Streaks of light rose from the ground, transforming into long rainbows that disappeared into the Secret Realm.

Ye Lin and Li Jiayi also exchanged glances and flew towards the Secret Realm entrance.

Upon reaching the Secret Realm entrance, Ye Lin turned to Li Jiayi and said, "You go first. That old Demon King has been chasing me for so long, I need to give him a surprise."

Upon hearing Ye Lin's words, Li Jiayi looked worried, as she had witnessed the Tree Demon King's strength.

At this stage, Ye Lin basically couldn't defeat that Demon King.

Ye Lin also noticed Li Jiayi's hesitation.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to fight that old Demon King. I just want to give him a surprise, to make it worth his while for chasing me for so long."

"I'm confident I can get out, so don't worry."

Seeing this, Li Jiayi couldn't say much more. Since he had confidence, she could only leave first.

After all, staying inside might hold Ye Lin back and disrupt his plans.

Ye Lin looked at the already departed Li Jiayi and also said to Qing Ling,

"Ling Ge, this is a good chance to let this old Demon King taste the sword formation I learned not long ago. Although it can't defeat him, it can at least annoy him."

Qing Ling also nodded, "But we can't stay too long, otherwise something might happen."

Ye Lin then set up the sword formation. Soon, streaks of sword light phantoms merged into the large formation in the sky. After completion, the sword formation concealed itself above the Secret Realm.

Alright, now we just wait for the old Demon King to enter this Qian Kun Sword Formation.

As long as he enters this sword formation, it will give him a hard time.

Ye Lin sensed the Tree Demon King's aura gradually approaching, and most of the people in this Secret Realm had basically left.

Alright, now let me see the power of this Qian Kun Sword Formation.

Ye Lin entered the sword formation. Next was to lure the old Demon King in.

Soon, the Tree Demon King arrived before Ye Lin.

"Boy, you actually didn't run. It seems you don't value your life enough."

"I saw you were looking for me, so I specifically waited for you."

"It seems you are very confident in yourself. If that's the case, you will stay here forever."

Ye Lin saw the situation and knew it was time. Qian Kun Sword Formation!

Above the Secret Realm, streaks of formation light rose, and a large number of sword shadows appeared in the Void Realm, instantly attacking the old Demon King.

Meanwhile, on Su Yu's side, he came to a place where he occasionally listened to others play the zither, to cultivate his temperament.

But he didn't expect that today Su Yu would discover someone unexpected appearing there.
