Returning to the cave dwelling, Ye Yun finally let out a sigh of relief. If he hadn't returned any later, he really didn't know if he could still suppress it.
"Alas, these two disciples are truly going to kill an old man."
Now Ye Yun truly understood that having disciples who were too lovable was not purely a good thing.
After a burst of emotion, Ye Yun shook his head, sat down cross-legged, and felt the vast amount of Transcendence Power within his body, a smile finally appearing on his face.
"Now that the Transcendence Power is almost condensed, and with such a treasure, breaking through should not be a problem."
Then he took out the Great Dao Immortal Flower. He could still clearly feel the boundless Great Dao Power contained within its petals, and his heart was filled with unspeakable shock.
The Great Dao, as the name suggests, was something that only those at the Foundation Establishment realm had the qualification to comprehend. It was the source of power for Foundation Establishment cultivators and the sign of breaking through from the Life and Death realm to the Foundation Establishment realm.
But looking at this Great Dao Immortal Flower, Ye Yun felt that he might be able to comprehend his own Dao in the Life and Death realm.
"Speaking of which, I'm really curious, what is my own Dao..."
Thinking of this, Ye Yun no longer hesitated. He immediately wrapped the Great Dao Immortal Flower with his profound energy and began to absorb its power.
As a strange force entered his body, Ye Yun felt his whole body burning like fire. After an unknown amount of time, he felt his soul gradually ascending to the void and began to merge with this world.
In an instant, he could personally feel the various operational laws of the world, and even the changes of the Great Dao, which was unspeakably mysterious.
"It seems this is the legendary Sea of Great Dao, containing countless Great Daos that govern the world's operations. They seem to come here to find the Great Dao that fits them to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm. I wonder if I can find it..."
After arriving here, he discovered countless peculiar Great Dao powers, but he felt that none of them suited him. He could only let his soul continuously roam this Sea of Great Dao to continue searching.
After an unknown amount of time, after Ye Yun had seen tens of thousands of Great Daos, he finally sensed a peculiar Great Dao power in one place.
"This Great Dao is..."
Ye Yun was overjoyed and immersed himself in it as if he had discovered a treasure.
As he had said, this period of seclusion was quite long. Days passed outside the cave dwelling.
During this time, everything that happened at the Four Sects Assembly quickly swept across the entire Eastern Region, becoming a topic of conversation for countless cultivators and even ordinary people.
In the past, Ye Yun, under the name of the Ancient Dao Sword Emperor, had some fame in the Eastern Region. But now, it was entirely different.
At the age of just over twenty, his cultivation reached the Half-step Life and Death realm, he comprehended the Super-grade Sword Intent, and he suppressed those at the fifth level of the Life and Death realm. He could truly be considered the number one sword cultivation genius in history!
Furthermore, with the incident of the Bai family of Misty Mountain being exposed, everyone was extremely shocked.
He, alone, had stormed the Bai family of Misty Mountain, snatched the fiancée of the Young Palace Master of the Fu Long Immortal Palace, and almost leveled the entire Bai family.
Later, at the Four Sects Assembly, he publicly killed the new generation Palace Master of the Nine Nether Demonic Sect, one of the Four Great Sects of the Eastern Region, annihilated the personal guards of the Young Palace Master of the Fu Long Immortal Palace who came to cause trouble, and with the power of his sword, caused countless sword cultivators outside Thousand Blades Mountain to break through.
Each of these individually could be called a magnificent feat, yet they all appeared in the same person. It was truly astonishing and earth-shattering.
Not to mention Ye Yun had two female disciples who were not only stunningly beautiful but also exceptionally talented and powerful. Especially Lin Xueyan, who at such a young age had comprehended the Sword Intent Extreme, almost guaranteeing her to be a future overlord.
With the addition of these many accolades, Ye Yun's fame naturally spread further and further, becoming increasingly exaggerated, eventually leading many to worship him as a deity and bestow upon him a new title.
Ancient Dao Sword God!
As a result, it also brought immense benefits to the Ancient Dao Heavenly Sect. Many forces in the Eastern Region who were indifferent to the Ancient Dao Heavenly Sect began to actively visit and offer gifts after this incident.
Even the Golden Wave Heavenly Sect and True Martial Heavenly Sect expressed their desire to resolve past grievances with the Ancient Dao Heavenly Sect and progress together. Even the Bai family of Misty Mountain sent representatives to offer their blessings.
And countless young talents, attracted by Ye Yun's reputation, came to the Ancient Dao Heavenly Sect begging to be accepted as disciples, just to live under the same roof as sword cultivators like Ye Yun.
Due to the sheer number of applicants, the Ancient Dao Heavenly Sect had to make an exception and temporarily hold a recruitment assessment, which led to the discovery of many new disciples with exceptional talent.
Now, it validated the saying: when you are powerful, the whole world smiles upon you.
However, not all forces were happy about this incident. The most furious among them was the Fu Long Immortal Palace.
Southern Region, Fu Long Immortal Palace.
When Mo Chenyu returned to the Immortal Palace and recounted his experiences in the Eastern Region, from his words, Ye Yun had not only defeated them but also intercepted his personal guards. He claimed to have escaped by sheer luck.
With this as a basis, coupled with the increasingly exaggerated rumors about Ye Yun circulating outside, the Palace Master of the Immortal Palace, Mo Chenyu's father, was enraged.
In the discussion hall, Mo Tianling, the Palace Master of Fu Long Immortal Palace, slammed the table heavily and scanned everyone with a dark expression, saying.
"You all know about my son Chenyu's matter, right?"
"This Ye Yun from the Eastern Region not only stole the marriage arranged by our Immortal Palace but also publicly annihilated our Immortal Palace cultivators, costing my son his life. If this hatred is not avenged, what will become of the prestige of our Fu Long Immortal Palace?"
"I plan to immediately dispatch people to the Ancient Dao Heavenly Sect in the Eastern Region to capture that Ye Yun. Do any of you have objections?"
As a father, he was naturally happy about Mo Chenyu taking a wife and concubines. He never expected to encounter such a tough opponent this time, which made him quite displeased.
As soon as Mo Tianling finished speaking, an elder who supported him responded.
"What the Palace Master said is right. This Ye Yun dared to attack the Young Palace Master's personal guards in public, clearly showing he doesn't take our Fu Long Immortal Palace seriously. I believe we should immediately send a peak Life and Death realm expert to the Ancient Dao Heavenly Sect to hold him accountable!"
Within the Fu Long Immortal Palace, Mo Tianling, the Palace Master, always had the final say. Although some elders disagreed with his arrangement, apart from a very few, no one dared to voice other opinions.
At the conference table, Mo Chenyu, seeing that he was about to get revenge, couldn't help but smile.
But at this moment, a black-robed elder in the corner of the discussion hall slowly spoke.
"I believe the most pressing matter is to make thorough preparations for the emergence of the Sage's tomb."
"There seems to be an ultimate treasure within this Sage's tomb. The other Immortal Palaces are all watching it, and it is also of utmost importance to our Fu Long Immortal Palace."
"As for Chenyu's revenge, let's put it aside for now."
As soon as he spoke, everyone in the hall looked at the black-robed elder in surprise, their eyes filled with reverence.
Even the Palace Master Mo Tianling just frowned and said, "Then, will we just let him be so arrogant during this time?"
"As the Palace Master, you must have a broader perspective and not be constrained by temporary emotions."
The black-robed elder glanced at him and said calmly, "After things are settled, I will personally go to the Eastern Region to deal with Ye Yun and the Ancient Dao Heavenly Sect."
With that said, Mo Tianling fell silent for a moment and finally lowered his head, saying.
"I understand. Then, as you, Father, have said, we will deal with the Sage's tomb first..."
