Chapter 1696 - 1679: Ancient Spirit Rune Technique
On the verdant grassland.
Xiao Ye’s words were not loud, but they struck like thunder, leaving all the geniuses present stunned.
"Truly ignorant of the world, does he even understand the difference between the Spirit Transformation Realm and the Earth Spirit Realm?"
"This kid probably broke through from a low-level plane and is accustomed to being Supreme in his own realm, which leads to such arrogance."
"It’s truly bewildering why Lord Leng Ming sought out such an idiot, ashamed to associate with him."
"Anyway, even if this guy goes to participate in the Spirit King Competition, he’ll only be cannon fodder, losing face for our faction. It’d be better for him to just recuperate on this ancient star."
...
Immediately, a roar of laughter exploded, surging skyward. Five geniuses couldn’t help but approach, two of whom already had their spirit seeds rooted and sprouted, their power erupting; clearly, they were early-stage Earth Spirit Realm powerhouses, and they raised their hands to strike Xiao Ye.
Boom!
However, at that moment, Xiao Ye’s figure flashed. Before anyone could see clearly, the ground trembled violently, grass debris flew, and the five geniuses retreated explosively. Even the two early-stage Earth Spirit Realm martial artists paled, stopped in embarrassment, their faces full of disbelief.
The geniuses who wore mocking expressions were all silenced, their eyes almost popped out, triggering a monstrous wave of shock within their hearts.
What just happened?
"With such weak Earth Spirit Realm, who exactly is being arrogant?" Xiao Ye’s expression remained calm as he walked towards the group of geniuses.
"Damn, beat him to death!"
"This kid is too arrogant!"
...
At this moment, more than thirty geniuses couldn’t hold back and rushed over, unleashing all their strength; various spiritual techniques soared skyward.
"Spiritual Technique, Chaotic Cloud Collapse!"
Xiao Ye’s black hair danced wildly as he shouted, the Taichu Spirit Seed within him quivered lightly, unleashing boundless spiritual power sky-high.
His hands seemed to hold up this realm, causing the wind and clouds to change color on this ancient star, shaking the mountains and rivers.
This was one of the spiritual techniques taught by Leng Ming, although just a basic spiritual technique, its power far surpassed Emperor-level combat skills.
Xiao Ye amplified time using the Time Tower, having already mastered this set of spiritual techniques.
Driven by the Taichu Spirit Seed, the power of the spiritual technique soared, enveloping half of the ancient star, directly shrouding these thirty-plus geniuses.
"I... I feel my spirit seed is being suppressed!"
"I also know Chaotic Cloud Collapse, but why does it have such power in his hands?"
"This... this can’t be, is he really just an Initial Spirit Realm martial artist?"
...
After a burst of exclamations, there was a chaotic sound of thuds, and the thirty-plus geniuses were all knocked skyward, disappearing without a trace.
When all the commotion vanished, a wave of shock spread throughout the field; no sound remained, everyone’s hearts racing wildly, gazing in horror at that upright figure.
Even the most radiant genius among the previous crowd, named Yu Shuhan, stood rigidly in place.
They seemed to understand a bit why Lord Leng Ming would let an Initial Spirit Realm martial artist join them.
Such strength could even be said to be late-stage Earth Spirit Realm, and they wouldn’t doubt it!
"It seems these geniuses have only cultivated ordinary spirit rank techniques, their spirit seeds are too weak." Xiao Ye shook his head in lament.
"Remember to control your tongue in the future."
In the next moment, Xiao Ye’s gaze scanned the remaining geniuses, coolly turned around, and called out to the Yellow Robed Woman.
"L-Lord, yes!"
That Yellow Robed Woman awoke, her face full of excitement, hurriedly trotting after him.
Xiao Ye’s fearsome power was evident, turning her disappointment into delight.
"Who is this fellow? Why do we have no prior information about him."
"With such terrifying strength, his spirit seed must be at least Mid Grade or Top-grade."
"Gasp! Even without mentioning Top-grade spirit seeds, Mid Grade spirit seeds are extremely rare in Spirit Capital."
"Damn, this time the Pan family found a treasure, it must be reported immediately!"
...
In the field, the warriors from various forces in Spirit Capital who previously flattered these geniuses hurriedly left.
An Initial Spirit Realm martial artist who defeated so many Earth Spirit Realm geniuses must be taken seriously.
It was only a short while before a great wave erupted across Spirit Capital, news of an extraordinary genius emerging under the command of the Five Law Enforcement Envoys spread quickly.
"L-Lord!"
"The only condition for accepting our Pan family’s support is the Green Stone Milk?"
At this time, Xiao Ye brought the Yellow Robed Woman to a desolate area before stopping.
The Yellow Robed Woman looked at Xiao Ye, somewhat nervously asking.
In her impression, the stronger the genius, the more they demand, and the condition Xiao Ye proposed seemed unbelievable to her.
"Does your Pan family not even have any Green Stone Milk?" Xiao Ye frowned slightly.
As his realm advanced, the Green Stone Milk provided by Leng Ming definitely wasn’t enough.
"We have it!"
"Although our Pan family has declined, we still have a lot of Green Stone Milk," the Yellow Robed Woman hurriedly replied.
"Alright."
Xiao Ye nodded, suddenly feeling a movement in his heart, recalling the discussion among the group of geniuses, and curiously asked, "What is the spiritual technique from your Pan family that even entices Blue Demon?"
In addition to Green Stone Milk, Xiao Ye also longed for powerful spiritual techniques.
Blue Demon in the Blue Demon Star Domain is an absolutely invincible existence, very close to the Holy Rank, and any spiritual technique that can entice him must be formidable.
"Our Pan family indeed has a very powerful spiritual technique, called the Ancient Spirit Rune Technique, which can no longer be classified by grade."
"A thousand years ago, our Pan family ancestor roamed the universe relying on the Ancient Spirit Rune Technique, even making a name in the Void Great Realm, once slaying a large number of Heavenly Spirit Realm powerhouses, and treated with great respect by Lord Blue Demon."
"If we had continued to develop, controlling a star domain wouldn’t have been a problem, unfortunately, our Pan family ancestor unexpectedly fell..."
The Yellow Robed Woman, named Pan Yun’er, daughter of the Pan Family Master, spoke bitterly.
"Using spirit seeds to construct spirit patterns, ever-changing, even evolving into extreme attack techniques, perishing a star domain, truly a frightening spiritual technique!" Xiao Ye listened, his eyes lighting up.
Pan family’s ancestor, relying on this spiritual technique, could create a name in the Void Great Realm and rival Blue Demon, demonstrating its power.
"Alright, then I want this spiritual technique!"
"If I become Spirit King, I will certainly protect your Pan family," Xiao Ye stated resolutely the next moment.
According to what Pan Yun’er recounted, since the fall of Pan family’s ancestor, this spiritual technique has also been shrouded in dust, and no one could display its brilliance anymore, leading the Pan family into decline, nearly unable to find footing in Spirit Capital.
It could be said that the Pan family rose due to the spiritual technique and fell because of it.
Though Xiao Ye didn’t know the difficulty level of cultivating this spiritual technique, it didn’t affect his determination.
He has cultivated the Taichu Ancient Scripture, why should he fear a spiritual technique?
