Chapter 25: Ye Yun, the Tyrant of One Hundred Thousand Years Ago
Chapter 25: Ye Yun, the Bully of One Hundred Thousand Years Ago
"Haha, Senior Sister, I finally understand what you mean!"
Jun Moxiao suddenly became excited. He clenched his fists tightly and laughed, saying, "Senior Sister, from now on, are we going to burn, kill, loot, and commit every evil imaginable?"
Luo Li rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.
"Junior Brother, is this how you twist my words?"
"No, no!"
Jun Moxiao scratched his head and gave a sheepish, embarrassed grin.
At this moment, Ye Yun cast a look of approval at Jun Moxiao.
He looked at Luo Li and smiled. "Jun Moxiao isn't entirely wrong. The world of cultivation is a place where the weak are the prey of the strong. If you don't rob them, they will rob you. If you rob them, they will surely seek revenge. If you don't kill them, they will inevitably kill you."
Recalling their encounter at the Ridge of Ten Thousand Ghosts, Luo Li nodded repeatedly.
The Old Ancestor was right...
This world was truly this cruel and realistic. Back then, the Divine Dragon Sect was so weak that it was bullied by powerful figures.
But now, everything had changed!
She and her junior brother were the ones who would go out and bully others!
They would sweep up pills and resources, plunder cultivation manuals and divine weapons, and snatch up rare heavenly treasures...
They would take it all!
Seeing the constant changes in Luo Li's expression—her eyes brightening and her aura growing stronger—Ye Yun smiled lightly. With a flick of his palm, he produced two rings.
He handed them to Jun Moxiao and Luo Li respectively.
"These are God-grade storage rings," he whispered. "I have already concealed their aura. The space inside is immense. I hope you will fill them with the resources you plunder..."
"Just how big is it?!"
Driven by curiosity, Luo Li quickly put on the ring and released her divine sense into it. She immediately discovered a vast, boundless space that seemed to have no end.
"Oh my god, Old Ancestor, this is too big! If we were to fill this space, how many years would it take?"
Luo Li stuck out her tongue in shock, yet she burst into laughter.
"Indeed, Old Ancestor," Jun Moxiao added, his face filled with a wry smile.
Ye Yun laughed. "The path of cultivation is endless. Keep plundering to your heart's content. In the future, our Divine Dragon Sect will not only stand tall on the Cangnan Continent but also take root in other places."
Luo Li was startled.
"Old Ancestor," she asked in shock, "are there other continents?"
Jun Moxiao also looked at Ye Yun with a confused expression. In his mind, the world consisted only of the Cangnan Continent, which was so vast and boundless that one could never reach its end in a lifetime.
"Indeed. The Cangnan Continent is merely an island. Beyond this island lie even larger continents, home to even more formidable experts."
Ye Yun stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distant void. At this moment, his gaze seemed to pierce through the eons and the entire Cangnan Continent, seeing the glorious sights beyond the sea.
"Wow, that's truly incredible!"
Luo Li’s heart leaped with joy, and she clapped her hands. The Old Ancestor's words had ignited a new conviction within her.
The Divine Dragon Sect would not only become the top eternal sect on the Cangnan Continent but would also spread its branches to other lands in the future. This gave her immense motivation.
"Alright, don't think too much for now. Just focus on your training here in the small Guyue Dynasty... Once you reach the Eternal Realm, you can consider the world beyond."
Ye Yun reached out and tapped each of them lightly on the head before withdrawing his hand, a gentle smile on his face.
One hundred thousand years ago, after reaching the Eternal Realm in the Divine Dragon Sect, he had once flown out beyond the massive island of the Cangnan Continent. However, the other side of the sea was filled with unimaginable dangers that he could not overcome to reach the other side.
Ye Yun suspected that only those who reached the True God Realm could break through the forbidden waters and enter those other lands. Thus, once he had helped Luo Li and Jun Moxiao reach a certain level, he intended to leave this place and see what lay across the sea.
"Old Ancestor," Luo Li touched her head and asked with a grin, "which faction are we going to challenge first?"
Ye Yun shook his head, looking at the city ahead, and smiled. "No need to be in such a hurry. There’s a city right in front of us. I'm hungry; let's go get something to eat first."
"Understood, Old Ancestor."
Luo Li stuck out her little pink tongue. Even though the Old Ancestor was already at the True God Realm, he still loved the delicacies of the mortal world. For a cultivator like her at the Plastic God Realm, going a year without food or drink was no problem at all. She had long lost interest in mundane mortal food.
After Ye Yun returned to the carriage, Jun Moxiao picked up the reins, and the black carriage continued on its way, soon entering the city.
The city was called Guyun City. The carriage drove into the bustling street and stopped in front of a tavern.
Luo Li and Jun Moxiao jumped off the carriage and respectfully invited Ye Yun out. Inside the tavern, they found it packed to capacity, the business thriving.
"Three distinguished guests, it’s completely full. Please wait a moment," a young waiter said with a fawning smile.
"Are there no private rooms?" Luo Li’s expression darkened, and she frowned. Her Old Ancestor was a figure of such prestige; how could he dine in such a noisy, chaotic place?
"There is only one private room, but it has already been reserved. I ask that you please wait patiently," the waiter replied.
"Since the guests haven't arrived yet, that room is ours. If they come looking for you, tell them to find me directly."
Luo Li pushed the waiter aside and strode toward the second floor. Watching his Senior Sister’s arrogance, Jun Moxiao stuck out his tongue with a mischievous expression. Recalling Luo Li’s earlier words, he understood her behavior.
After all, they were becoming "villains."
In the world of cultivation, the law of the jungle prevailed. In a small mortal tavern, what did it matter if they snatched a private room? Especially when it was to secure one for their Old Ancestor at the True God Realm—it was an supreme honor.
Ye Yun smiled at this. He was quite satisfied with Luo Li’s rapid transformation.
A powerhouse must have the bearing of a powerhouse. No matter where they went, they must never suffer a loss and must always demonstrate strength. If anyone dared to provoke them, they should show no mercy and beat the opponent until they were convinced in both body and mind.
Back in the day, Ye Yun was a notorious bully on the Cangnan Continent. He had even dared to tease the Saintess of the Ice Phoenix Sect—a sect as prestigious as the Divine Dragon Sect—and had even peeked at her while she bathed, showing himself before her with total impunity.
This was a testament to how bold, rampant, and arrogant he had been.
