Chapter 579 - Ch 579: The Test Of Willpower 1
"You have passed the First Stage of the First Trial. You can take a rest for half an hour. After that, the Second Stage of the First Trial will start." The white figure said and vanished without waiting for Ye Xiao to react.
Ye Xiao took a deep breath and kept looking at his lower body that was healing fast. He sat down and closed his eyes, starting to breathe deeply and waiting for the Second Stage of the First Trial to start.
Time slowly passed and it didn't take long for half an hour to pass.
The white figure once again appeared in front of Ye Xiao and said, "Are you ready?"
Ye Xiao nodded his head, seeing which the white figure again said, "The second stage of the first trial is the test of willpower. Here, you'll be tested on how strong your mind and mental state is. Also, this is the stage where most people lost their lives so you should be careful. It is because this state will show you what you would have been if your fate would not have been with you."
Ye Xiao was confused. He wanted to ask something but the white figure didn't give Ye Xiao that chance. He once again waved his hand and Ye Xiao's eyes blurred. When everything became clear, Ye Xiao found that he was standing in an unfamiliar yet familiar place. This was a place he had never forgotten.
What was more, he found that he no longer had any trace of the Solar System within his body. There was only dantian and his cultivation base was also only at the First Stage of Qi Condensation Realm.
Suddenly, Ye Xiao heard a familiar voice that he had long forgotten, "Xiao, listen carefully. I have an important mission to do so I have to go for a few days. You better cultivate diligently and not fool around. You have to know that in this world, only people with strength are respected."
Ye Xiao subconsciously nodded his head as if it was normal for him to nod at everything said by the man in front of him.
The man in front of him was older than a middle-aged man but was still not an old man.
"I'm leaving then!" The man said and quickly left the room.
After the man left, Ye Xiao suddenly jolted back and his eyes widen. He immediately rushed out of the room to look for the man but the man was already gone.
Ye Xiao did not rest and continued to search for him for a long time but failed to find the man. Very soon, Ye Xiao was tired but he still did not stop. Although the man did not tell Ye Xiao where he was going, Ye Xiao knew where the man has gone to. He was ready to leave the place where he was and meet the man.
He muttered, "How is this possible? How could it be possible for Elder Ye Fan to appear in front of me? Wasn't I taking the trial just now, how did I appear in the Silver Moon Sect?"
It turned out that the moment White Figure waved his hand, Ye Xiao somehow appeared in the Silver Moon Sect. It was also at the time when he was not crippled by the Grand Elder's disciple Zhou Yan.
It would be tomorrow when his dantian will be crippled and he'll be kicked out from the Silver Moon Sect by the Grand Elder and other elders as well as Sect Leader.
But right now, Ye Xiao was not thinking of anything. he also did not have time to think if he was in an illusion or a dream, all he was thinking right now was how to meet his father-like figure, Fifth Elder of the Silver Moon Sect, Ye Fan.
No matter what, he had to meet Fifth Elder Ye Fan so that he could stop him from being killed by the plot of Grand Elder as well as the Second Elder of Black Blade Sect.
Ye Xiao knew that Elder Ye Fan went to get his hands on the Beast Flame so that he could gift it to Ye Xiao and let him merge with it. This way, Ye Xiao would become even stronger and he'll have a trump card in his hand.
Although Ye Xiao knew this and wanted to save Elder Ye Fan, he did not the place where Elder Ye Fan had gone to.
But he could not stay at this place and do nothing. Elder Ye Fan must be in his way so Ye Xiao might find him.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiao immediately leave the Silver Moon Sect and started chasing after Elder Ye Fan after asking around someone who had seen Elder Ye Fan leaving in a certain direction.
Ye Xiao left the periphery of Silver Moon Sect very soon and was running with the fastest speed he could run, chasing after Fifth Elder when suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell down to the ground.
Ye Xiao struggled to stand up and looked in front where a person was standing, looking at him with cold eyes.
"Zhou Yan!"
Ye Xiao spat out two words.
Yes, the person standing in front of Ye Xiao was Zhou Yan. While Ye Xiao was worried and was fully focused on running, he was suddenly attacked by Zhou Yan from behind. Moreover, Zhou Yan used a dagger to pierce his back, causing blood to flow out.
Fortunately, the dagger did not harm any of Ye Xiao's vitals. If not, Ye Xiao would have died immediately.
"Haha, Ye Xiao, how's this? Is it hurting?" Zhou Yan laughed at Ye Xiao loudly and asked.
Ye Xiao asked coldly, "Zhou Yan, what did you attack me?"
"You can only blame it on yourself. Who told you to chase after Fifth Elder. I had a perfect plan for you. I even invited someone to take care of you tomorrow but who would have thought you were leaving the sect. I can not let you leave so I had no choice but to take action." Zhou Yan said.
Ye Xiao opened his eyes and only now did he understand what just happened.
When Zhou Yan came to know that Ye Xiao had left the sect, he immediately decided to take action. According to the plan his master made, Fifth Elder Ye Fan will be killed by the joint forces of Black Blade Sect and Grand Elder.
To cut the future trouble from the root, they have to do something about Ye Xiao also. So, they decided to cripple Ye Xiao and kick him out of the sect.
What can a cripple do against a sect like the Silver Moon Sect after being crippled?
He could only spend his life like any ordinary mortal and die with a grievance in his heart. Anyway, Ye Xiao was just a beggar before Fifth Elder Ye Fan brought him to the sect.
But when Ye Xiao left the sect to search for Fifth Elder Ye Fan, it went against the plan made by the Grand Elder. Because of this, Zhou Yan decided to take action immediately and cut the root of trouble by killing Ye Xiao.
"Ye Xiao, you can go to hell now!"
Saying this, Zhou Yan formed a fist and attacked again, causing Ye Xiao to be sent flying.
Ye Xiao only had the cultivation base of First Stage of Qi Condensation Realm and was already badly injured when Zhou Yan pierced the dagger in his back, causing him to unable to retaliate against Zhou Yan.
But he could not let Zhou Yan kill him here.
Without thinking much, Ye Xiao stood up again while enduring the pain and started running. He knew that he could not do anything about Zhou Yan for the time being, he has to first leave this place and look for Fifth Elder.
Saving the Fifth Elder was the first thing he had to do no matter the price he have to pay.
Unfortunately, he was badly injured, causing his speed to lessen by quite a bit. Zhou Yan immediately caught up to Ye Xiao and again attacked him.
Ye Xiao did not think of retaliating, instead, he used the force of Zhou Yan's attack to run.
Ye Xiao now had years of experience and knew how to fight. How could Zhou Yan do anything to Ye Xiao who had already killed tens of Immortals?
The chase continued, Ye Xiao continued to escape while Zhou Yan continued to chase after him.
It has to be known that Zhou Yan was only at the Ninth Stage of Body Refinement Realm, but Ye Xiao could not do anything about him just because of some injuries.
It was mainly because the foundation of the current Ye Xiao was not as strong as he had when the Heavenly Pearl entered his heart and provided him with the cultivation technique, Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique.
