"Damn it!"
Although he had passed the test, Yi Feng was still cursing.
He really could not understand why every time he tested his talents and talent stones, they would explode.
He had thought about it before, wondering if his talents were too explosive for the talent stones to withstand?
But he had also bought some low-level exercises on the market to try, but he could not even cultivate a single feather.
At this point, he could only helplessly accept that he really had no talent for cultivation.
Yi Feng walked past the testing room and headed towards the waiting area.
"Another fish leaping over the dragon gate."
"I'm so envious, why can't this be me?"
As before, countless people around the square cast envious and awe-struck glances at Yi Feng. Some scantily clad girls even winked flirtatiously at Yi Feng.
"This feeling is so enjoyable!"
"This is how a man should be!"
Bathing in such admiring glances, the gloom from the failed test also dissipated quite a bit for Yi Feng.
Unable to resist, he narrowed his eyes and revealed a proud demeanor.
Perhaps he could also receive respect from countless people in Pingjiang City, but that was built up over countless years of good service to others. Most of them were annoying old hags and geezers, nothing compared to the cheers he was getting now just by walking out.
"Cultivators, so great."
"I must become a cultivator!"
Yi Feng clenched his fists tightly and joined the line of waiting candidates.
Although many people were queueing for the test, there were still not that many candidates. Including Yi Feng, there were just over thirty.
At this time.
North Sea Ye Family.
As one of the great families of the North Sea, they had countless masters inside, and the family should have been full of vitality.
But at this moment, the Ye Family was shrouded in a deathly aura. The huge residence was full of dilapidation, looking empty everywhere, with almost no one to be seen.
Only in the martial arts field of the Ye Family were gathered the last batch of Ye Family members.
The leader was the Ye Family patriarch, Ye Neng.
He held a sword in both hands, with the sword tip inserted into the ground. Although middle-aged, he had a head of white hair, with white sideburns hanging down from both sides. His eyes were also full of red veins.
"If any of you still want to leave, you can leave without worry. I, Ye Neng, will not blame you."
At this time, he spoke up.
"The Ye Family stands, we stand."
"The Ye Family falls, we all fall!"
Behind him, everyone spoke in unison, without a single person shrinking back.
Ye Neng's body trembled slightly, and he said approvingly, "With you all, the Ye Family has no regrets. Let us unite as one to face the enemy!"
"Yes!"
Everyone let out a resolved voice, sitting cross-legged on the ground holding their swords, looking up at the sky, then fell silent.
Suddenly.
Two shadows appeared in the sky beyond.
Seeing this, everyone's hands holding long swords trembled in unison, light flowing, and their pupils became sharp, ready to strike at any moment.
"Wait."
"It looks like Yi Er."
Just as everyone was about to attack, Ye Neng suddenly waved his hand to stop them.
After speaking, he hurriedly stepped forward to welcome them.
The two females landed, and it was indeed Ye Yi bringing her handmaiden Chun Er.
"Greetings, father."
"Greetings to all elders and uncles."
Ye Yi quickly bowed.
"Yi Er, why did you run back here?"
Seeing it was really Ye Yi, Ye Neng asked anxiously.
"Father, the family is in crisis. As a daughter of the Ye Family, how can I fear death and not face the enemy together with everyone?" Ye Yi said solemnly.
"You..."
"What's the use of you coming back?"
Ye Neng said coldly, "Hurry up and go. It will be too late if you don't leave now."
After speaking, Ye Neng tried to drive her away.
"Father."
But Ye Yi did not retreat at all and said, "Are you really going to let your daughter live in regret for the rest of her life? You didn't even tell me who the enemy is, yet you want me to leave. Have you thought about what I would have to endure after leaving?"
"You..."
Ye Neng looked at Ye Yi tremblingly and sighed, "Yi Er, I don't want it to be like this either, but I'm doing this for your own good!"
"In a night, the great Ye Family dismissed everyone, and you drove me away too. But to this day, I still don't know what happened."
Ye Yi's face was pale as she said, "Father, if you really care about me, you should tell me what happened to our Ye Family."
"Sigh!"
Ye Neng let out a heavy sigh. Seeing Ye Yi's stubborn attitude, he had no choice but to say, "All of this is because our Ye Family has been targeted by a mysterious organization."
"A mysterious organization is targeting us?"
Ye Yi hurriedly asked in surprise, "Why are they targeting us?"
"They didn't give a reason. They just said it's time for our Ye Family to be destroyed!"
After speaking, Ye Neng clenched his fists tightly.
It was evident how indignant he felt saying this.
Without any reason, just a single sentence saying it's time for your Ye Family to die, you must die. How arrogant, how bullying, and how dismissive of his Ye Family!
Ye Yi was also shocked by the actions of this organization, but she still couldn't help speculating, "Could they just be scaring our Ye Family?"
"No."
"What they say they will do. The previous destruction of the North Sea Fang Family and Yun Family was also their doing," Ye Neng said heavily.
Ye Yi turned pale with shock.
She would never have imagined that the Fang Family and Yun Family that were annihilated overnight were also the work of this organization.
"So what kind of organization are they exactly?"
Ye Yi couldn't help asking.
"Yao!"
"They call themselves Yao."
"There are seven of them. Each one has the strength of a peak Martial Emperor. If they join forces, destroying any power in the North Sea would be effortless," Ye Neng said solemnly.
Hearing this, Ye Yi couldn't help being shocked.
No wonder, no wonder Ye Neng was forcing her to leave. Turns out it was such a formidable enemy.
Although her father was also a Martial Emperor, how could he fight one against seven?
The Ye Family.
Would it really be destroyed?
Ye Yi's face was ghastly pale.
Suddenly.
She seemed to remember something.
"Seven people..."
"All Martial Emperors..."
She muttered anxiously to herself, a bold guess emerging in her mind.
To verify her thoughts, she anxiously asked Ye Neng, "Father, this Yao you mentioned, do they wear black robes, and their leader has a scar on his face?"
"That's right, but how did you know?"
Ye Neng looked at Ye Yi in shock and asked.
Hearing Ye Neng confirm it, Ye Yi instantly relaxed. Her red lips also turned up slightly. Looking at everyone meaningfully, she said, "Father, elders and uncles, I think I can give you some good news now."
"What good news?"
Ye Neng frowned and couldn't help asking.
The other Ye Family members also looked over.
"The Yao you mentioned, they're already dead!"
Ye Yi solemnly declared.

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ...

One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”

to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
