6: Chapter 6 Truly a Son of Heaven

What the hell?

Ye Xuan was nearly dumbfounded.

Three golden traits, truly worthy of being the Son of Heaven!

What have I done? It turns out I invested in a protagonist early on.

But, in other words.

Ye Xuan felt his investment hadn't been a mistake at all; at the very least, it allowed him to discover this protagonist.

"Evil God Art", huh? Sorry, Yun Zhe, but I really want it too.

As a Child of Luck, even without the "Evil God Art", I fear you would still obtain other divine items.

Sunset Ravine should be about a hundred miles north of my residence. It is considered a forbidden area of the entire Cangqiong Holy Land, and no one is allowed to enter at will.

There is also an elder guarding it, which is quite troublesome.

However, taking the risk for the "Evil God Art" is still very necessary.

"Junior Brother Yun, I have some matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first. Let's have a drink in three days. Farewell!" Ye Xuan hesitated no longer, cupped his hands in apology, and then rode his crane, Xiao Jiu, toward Sunset Ravine.

"Is this little guy the Senior Brother Ye you mentioned?" Inside the ring space, Jasmine asked with some confusion after seeing Ye Xuan.

Watching Ye Xuan leave, Yun Zhe said with some emotion.

"That's right. If it weren't for Senior Brother Ye helping me back then, I fear I would have died in the handyman's spirit herb garden long ago."

"What a pity, what a pity. Your Senior Brother Ye's aptitude is no better than yours; he was born with severed meridians. However, there is something that surprised me—the strength of his soul is over ten times yours. Interesting, interesting."

Jasmine only took one look and said it casually.

"If I can soar to great heights in the future, I will definitely give Senior Brother Ye a hand to repay the kindness of those years."

"Alright, alright, you want to help others? Now your own trouble has arrived; solve your own problems first," Jasmine said mercilessly.

At this moment in the outside world, three people led by Zhao Erhu were surrounding Yun Zhe with malicious expressions.

"This brat must have a connection with Ye Xuan. How about we deal with him first?" Wu Si, who had a flattering expression beside Zhao Erhu, said with a sinister face: "Besides, this kid just entered the Outer Sect, and his cultivation is only at the second level of the True Profound Realm. Dealing with him will be easy!"

"Slap, slap, slap—"

Hearing this, Zhao Erhu slapped Wu Si across the face several times, unable to hide the anger in his eyes: "Shut up! Do I need you to teach me?"

Wu Si was stunned by the beating, his face marked with bright red palm prints. The resentful look in his eyes made him look just like a newlywed bride.

"Get him for me! Break this brat's legs! I want to tell all the Outer Sect disciples that those who get close to Ye Xuan will never have a good end!"

"Yes, boss!"

Wu Si rushed toward Yun Zhe first, wanting to vent all the resentment from being beaten just now onto this kid.

"Yun Zhe, although these three have higher cultivation than you, their foundations are incredibly flimsy." Jasmine delivered the ruthless judgment.

Yun Zhe ignored her, simply looking at Zhao Erhu with a blank expression, dodging the two's attacks with ease.

"Senior Brother Ye's enemies? Someone like you is unworthy."

"Bastard." Zhao Erhu was completely enraged and joined the siege.

...

On the other side, Ye Xuan rode his crane, Xiao Jiu, toward Sunset Ravine. That place was a forbidden area of the Cangqiong Holy Land, and one needed to enter before the sun went down; otherwise, entering after the sun set at the Hour of the Dog would mean nine deaths and one life.

Yun Zhe was the protagonist, and I fear he would arrive here before long. Ye Xuan could only seize every moment to go.

"Judging by the life destiny, the "Evil God Art" is a cultivation method that can improve one's physique. I absolutely cannot miss it."

Sunset Ravine had a gloomy atmosphere. The waterfall cascading down across the mountain ravine was daunting. Even though it was such a massive waterfall, it didn't emit a single sound, which was extremely strange.

"Xiao Jiu, go back." Ye Xuan patted the crane's little head.

"Woo—" Xiao Jiu nodded reluctantly.

Ye Xuan stood above the mountain ravine, looking at the gloomy waterfall flowing beneath his feet.

Dead silence, coldness, and grandeur were hard to describe.

"Presumably, Yun Zhe made this decision. Perhaps he had better choices, but I can only do it this way!"

There was no sign of retreat in Ye Xuan's eyes. His hands were clenched tight, and his white robes billowed without wind. He muttered to himself: "If I continue forward, I will run into that elder, so I can only jump down from here."

After making up his mind, Ye Xuan took off his clothes and leaped down.

In the waterfall of Sunset Ravine, not a single splash was raised, only water droplets flowing into the vastness like a boundless ocean.

Ye Xuan felt the pressure and bone-chilling cold of the water around him. He dared not use a single bit of Mystic Power within his body and swam forward slowly.

Fortunately, he had been tempering his physique all these years; otherwise, the wave of cold in the water just now would have been enough to kill him.

"Is it him, Elder Wang?"

Until he saw a white-haired old man, Ye Xuan didn't even dare to take another look.

[Name: Elder Wang]

[Realm: Late-stage of the ninth level of the Spirit Profound Realm]

[Physique: Sword Spirit Body (Purple)]

[Life Destiny: Benefactor of the Region (Green), Good-natured Person (White)]

[Favorability: 40.]

[Destiny: "Evil God" (Supporting Character)]

[Life Destiny: Entered the Cangqiong Holy Land at age five, entered the True Profound Realm at age ten, entered the Spirit Profound Realm at age fifteen, entered the Inner Sect of the Cangqiong Holy Land. Due to love, he fell into a slump, his cultivation stopped at the ninth level of the Spirit Profound Realm, and for the next thirty years, he lived on alcohol daily. His state of mind had long reached the Heaven Profound Realm, yet he remained trapped in his own prison.]

[One day later, he meets Yun Zhe by Sunset Ravine. The two hit it off immediately. He has his mental knot untied by Yun Zhe, takes three steps forward, his cultivation enters the Heaven Profound Realm directly, and before leaving, he gives a Purple Spirit Pill as a sign of gratitude.]

[One year later, he enters the Inner Sect of the Cangqiong Holy Land and serves as an Inner Sect elder.]

Elder Wang's realm is actually this high?

Ye Xuan watched, somewhat dumbfounded.

I really didn't expect this.

Such an old man is actually a mighty figure of the Heaven Profound Realm.

Truly worthy of the Cangqiong Holy Land.

It seems that Elder Wang was once a genius as well.

"Who is it!"

Just as Ye Xuan was stunned, Elder Wang, who was lying by the tree drinking, put down his wine gourd, his aged eyes becoming several times more spirited, and pointed out a sword art.

The terrifying Mystic Power sword finger directly sliced open Ye Xuan's right shoulder, blood streaming out.

"Hiss—"

The expression on Ye Xuan's face distorted. He endured the intense pain, not daring to move a muscle. He was extremely nervous in his heart; if he missed this opportunity and was caught by Elder Wang, getting the "Evil God Art" in the future would be a pipe dream.

Now Ye Xuan could only follow the water current forward, his right hand pressing tightly against the wound.

A long time later, Elder Wang, who was leaning by the waterfall, discovered there was no movement, so he put away the alertness in his eyes and continued to drink the fine wine in his hand.

"Phew, phew, phew, finally escaped a disaster."

Having completely entered Sunset Ravine, Ye Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Now there is a new problem: how exactly did Yun Zhe obtain the "Evil God Art"? Could it be that he really had to enter the deep bottom of Sunset Ravine?

A trace of madness flashed in the depths of Ye Xuan's eyes.

On the path of cultivation, there is no such thing as fairness, only the law of the jungle.

"Risk it all!"

Ye Xuan swam out of the water, took a long breath, and then with determination in his eyes, swam toward the bottom of Sunset Ravine.

The suction force became greater and greater, the heavy pressure feeling as if a hundred mountains were pressing down on Ye Xuan at once.

The cold, sharp water current was like sharp knives, slicing across Ye Xuan's skin one after another. Wisps of blood floating in the water were instantly devoured as a feast by some dense, strange insects.

"Damn it, haven't I reached the bottom yet? Just how deep is this damn Sunset Ravine?" Ye Xuan struggled to stay conscious, his eyes staring fixedly at the gloomy bottom below.
