I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 1160: Extracting Seedlings To Help, Mu Shi’s First Stop!

Editor: Atlas Studios

The waterfall washed over the river, causing a huge splash.

Under the gradually rising hot air, the river even began to bubble, and wisps of steam floated up.

Mu Shi also began to pant heavily. His face slowly turned red, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down.

Ye Qiubai looked at the two people walking out of the dense forest and narrowed his eyes. “Looks like… your Supervisory Temple doesn’t plan to survive until the election in nine months?”

Ai Xue patted Niu Zhong’s shoulder and sneered. “There’s no rule that we can’t do this.”

“Besides, I’m only here to bring my disciple to test how strong I am now. The best way is to spar with someone who’s participating in the election at the same time. However… swords have no eyes after all.”

“A sword without eyes.” Ye Qiubai mocked, “Then it seems like we have no choice but to fight?”

Ai Xue said seriously, “Even if you don’t fight, Niu Zhong will.”

Ye Qiubai glanced at Niu Zhong and frowned slightly.

The aura on his body was extraordinary.

This aura was not a sign of cultivating obediently and steadily increasing one’s realm.

It was a state where the aura was even larger than Mu Shi’s, but it was extremely scattered and not solid.

Before Ye Qiubai could completely understand, Mu Shi took the initiative to volunteer. “Master, let’s fight.”

Ye Qiubai looked at Mu Shi and said calmly, “Do you understand?”

Mu Shi nodded and said solemnly, “Didn’t Master say that sword cultivators have to grow in actual combat?”

Hearing this, Ye Qiubai smiled. He knew that he had not chosen the wrong person.

Even though Mu Shi was slightly inferior to Niu Zhong in terms of talent, he had a heart that was extremely suitable for sword cultivators.

Sword Heart was more important to sword cultivators than cultivation talent!

“Then go ahead. Remember what I taught you.”

Mu Shi nodded with an extremely serious expression. “I won’t embarrass Master!”

With that, she exchanged the wooden sword in her hand for a pitch-black sword.

The Dark Demon Sword.

This was a sword that Ye Qiubai had used in the Wilderness Region. It was just suitable for Mu Shi to use.

Ai Xue raised her eyebrows and said, “In that case, shall we spar too?”

Ye Qiubai glanced at Ai Xue indifferently and stood at the side. He looked back at the battlefield where Mu Shi and Niu Zhong were and said, “Don’t think of restricting my movements. Mu Shi doesn’t need my help. Besides…”

At this point, the corners of Ye Qiubai’s mouth curled up. He smiled and said, “Do you think you can really restrict me from attacking?”

Ai Xue raised her eyebrows and sneered. “Are all sword cultivators so arrogant?”

Seeing that Ye Qiubai had no intention of paying attention, Ai Xue snorted and didn’t say anything else.

Her goal here was only to cripple the competitors first!

At this moment, an iron rod appeared in Niu Zhong’s hand. He looked at Mu Shi and grinned. “Mu Shi, I’ve become very strong under Master’s guidance. Even though I can’t bear to kill you because we’re from the same village, I can only do as I’m told for the sake of my future.”

Mu Shi looked at the iron rod in Niu Zhong’s hand that was covered in fire patterns and said solemnly, “Brother Niu, it’s only been three months and you’ve changed so much. Master told me that even if I step onto the path of cultivation in the future, I can’t forget my original intention…”

“Beginner’s heart?” Niu Zhong laughed and said, “Then my master has also taught me that when a general succeeds, ten thousand bones will wither. The path of the strong is always accompanied by countless bones!”

With that, Niu Zhong held his long rod and charged in Mu Shi’s direction!

In the process of charging, the long rod in his hand actually ignited with surging flames!

The aura of the peak of the Purple Mansion Realm surged out at this moment!

Bai Gongjun frowned slightly upon seeing this scene.

Ye Qiubai’s expression changed. He turned to look at Ai Xue not far away and said with a dark expression, “For the test, you don’t even care about their future?”

Peak Stage Purple Mansion Realm… Coupled with such a loose aura, it was obvious that it was fueled by medicinal pills!

Mu Wan’er could refine such a pill at will.

However, to ordinary people who had yet to cultivate the basics, this would only consume too much of their life skills and potential!

In serious cases, they might not be able to break through in the future!

“Future? What does their future have to do with me?” Ai Xue’s face was cold as she said unreasonably, “Besides, they’re just ordinary people to begin with. Even if they can’t cultivate in the future, their current realm is enough for them to benefit an area or do whatever they want here. Furthermore, they can increase their lifespan by decades. They should be grateful to me.”

“However they could have gone further!”

Ye Qiubai’s expression darkened to the extreme as he continued, “Moreover, once someone climbs out of the well and looks at the scenery outside before falling down, how do you expect them to endure it?”

Once they saw the scenery outside, they would have a huge desire.

If this huge desire could not be fulfilled, and even the possibility of pursuit was erased… then this person would not be able to withstand this psychological difference.

No one knew what would happen then…

Hearing this, Ai Xue suddenly laughed out loud. She looked at Ye Qiubai and said, “Get this straight. Their survival in this Portrait Of Emptiness won’t affect us at all! They’re just a tool for us to complete the test! It’s fine if you want to be a Saint, but what can you do about other people’s matters?”

Ai Xue was right.

One was willing to hit and the other was willing to suffer.

Ye Qiubai could only fall silent.

On the other hand, the battle between Mu Shi and Niu Zhong was still ongoing.

At this moment, Niu Zhong had already rushed in front of Mu Shi. The staff in his hand that was burning with flames struck Mu Shi heavily!

Before the staff could land on his body, Mu Shi’s clothes began to burn.

There was no time to care.

The Dark Demon Sword in Mu Shi’s hand was already wrapped in Sword Intent!

Even though he was suppressed by this huge difference in realm and could not breathe, Mu Shi gritted his teeth and swung the Dark Demon Sword in his hand!

“Nine Heavenly Demon Sword, first strike!”

With a light shout, the Dark Demon Sword and the staff suddenly collided!

Boom!

The flames spread and the Sword Intent curled slightly, burning or cutting the surrounding grass roots!

However, he did not last long before Mu Shi was sent flying by Niu Zhong’s rod.

It drew a perfect parabola in the air and smashed into the water, splashing!

Niu Zhong looked at the steaming river and laughed loudly. “How is it, Mu Shi? You chose the wrong master back then. Can you see the difference now?”

“I can only say that your master’s standards are not good!”

Everyone was shocked hearing this.

Ye Qiubai had no expression.

She couldn’t even stand the humiliation of a junior, so how could she be a sword cultivator?

Plop!

Mu Shi jumped out of the water and landed on the ground. He stared at Niu Zhong angrily and said, “Take back your words!”

“Why? Are you still not convinced? Isn’t the truth already in front of you?”

At this point, Niu Zhong was suddenly stunned.

The sword intent on Mu Shi’s body actually began to slowly roll up!
