Chapter 050: So Impatient

The morning mist mingled with the dawn light.

An invisible pressure loomed large, like the sky about to collapse, and the laws lay low.

Above the Third Layer of the Ancient Battlefield, the clouds dispersed, revealing a vast and majestic scene.

The Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth layers of the space opened up.

This time, all Tianjiao under fifty years old could enter the Genius Ancient Battlefield.

Lu Ye rose, feeling it was time to stretch a bit after sitting for too long.

Just like now.

He was going to hunt a demon clan member.

This demon was named Tu Wuying, and his cultivation direction was somewhat peculiar, focusing mainly on stealth and assassination.

In his previous life, at least a hundred human clan talents had died at the hands of Tu Wuying, with the Grand Dao Sect suffering the heaviest losses.

Why?

Because of Lu Ye.

Tu Wuying’s brother was killed by Lu Ye, and he sought revenge.

That was understandable.

Even though in this life, Lu Ye hadn’t killed Tu Wuying’s brother, so what? Lu Ye simply wanted to kill Tu Wuying, and in his eyes, that was also quite normal.

Since the Sixth Layer of the Ancient Battlefield was now open, the advantages of the Heavenly Spirit Pool had faded.

Killing someone and then going to cultivate under the Tree of Enlightenment on the Sixth Layer was the best choice.

The Tree of Enlightenment was one of the most precious treasures in the entire Genius Ancient Battlefield. Who knew how many years ago, some Tianjiao who possessed the seed of the tree died here, causing the seed to sprout and grow automatically.

Gradually, it took shape.

Thus, the Tree of Enlightenment appeared.

Countless people wanted to take the Tree of Enlightenment away; after all, if this thing were brought back to their sect, they’d be over the moon.

Just one Tree of Enlightenment could elevate a sect to an astonishingly prosperous level.

But, it was impossible to take away.

Beneath the Tree of Enlightenment, many Tianjiao were comprehending the Dao, and thus the tree bore the imprints of these Tianjiao, evolving divine abilities, allowing those past to reappear, akin to a mini Eternal Great Tribulation.

Truly, it was very difficult to transport it away.

The further one went, the harder it became to take away.

Lu Ye’s figure vanished.

In the Fourth Layer of the Ancient Battlefield, figures appeared, radiating powerful auras, their robes billowing, eyes glinting with divine light.

Strong individuals from other clans also arrived first.

“This time, the youngsters in the Genius Ancient Battlefield have been surprisingly quiet. They’ve been in here for seven days and hardly any have died. Could it be that they’re coexisting with the alien races?” someone remarked.

“Coexisting with alien races? The alien races are notoriously greedy; there’s no way they’d coexist. I think the situation for the human clan isn’t looking too good this time.”

“Don’t let us down!”

The reason for such dialogue was that outside the Ancient Battlefield, the soul stones of human clan Tianjiao had shattered far too few times, unlike before, where entering the Genius Ancient Battlefield would result in only one out of ten surviving.

This situation was quite unsettling.

It meant that either a top-tier Tianjiao from the human clan was dominating all alien races, or the human clan was retreating, too scared to fight.

After some analysis, there might be individuals capable of overpowering the alien Tianjiao, like Li Wubai or Feng Longxiang, but could they really dominate so thoroughly?

Just as everyone was speculating, a figure leisurely floated from the Third Layer space, crossing through the teleportation channel, appearing in the Fourth Layer.

Lu Ye’s appearance was indeed impressive, but everyone was left confused, not knowing what this little guy was called.

Then, a senior from the Grand Dao Sect finally remembered.

“Lu Ye, you’re Lu Ye, right?”

Upon hearing his name, Lu Ye glanced toward the nearby crowd, still anxious to kill Tu Wuying…

Forget it.

He had to give some face to members of his own sect.

“I’ve met you, Senior Sister Ding.”

Ding Yuqing was one of the first batch of disciples from the ninety-second generation; she should be about thirty years older than Lu Ye, still under fifty.

The disciples of the Grand Dao Sect were divided into three batches, with roughly a thirty-year gap between them.

Because of that thirty-year gap, it was enough for a new batch of babies to come into the world.

After these three batches of disciples, the next generation began.

Lu Ye was from the second batch of the ninety-second generation. Frankly, if he were just a bit later, Bai Qiulan could’ve been his senior sister.

“Senior Sister Ding.”

Lu Ye saluted.

“You still remember me?” Ding Yuqing was quite surprised.

“Senior Sister Ding, you’re exceptionally beautiful… Is there something you need from me?”

He nearly fell into his habit of complimenting, but this time he couldn’t go around buttering up countless women.

A slight smile appeared on Ding Yuqing’s face; she took it as Lu Ye being shy for not expressing more. The charm of a sister really was astonishing.

“It’s nothing major, just asking how the situation is for our human clan and the alien races beneath the Third Layer?” Ding Yuqing inquired.

“Returning to Senior Sister, our side has Yue Hongling, who is unmatched in battle and is suppressing the alien races, so the human clan has taken the vast majority of the territory in the Third Layer and is at an absolute advantage.”

The mention of Yue Hongling left everyone dazed.

Ding Yuqing knew Lu Ye’s name because he had ranked first in a competition within the sect; who in the world knew about this Yue Hongling?

“Yue Hongling is that powerful? What about Li Wubai?” an arrogant member of the Supreme Sword Sect asked.

“Li Wubai, Feng Longxiang, and many other talents are fighting alongside Yue Hongling.”

The senior brothers and sisters shifted, clearly impressed. It seemed Yue Hongling was indeed formidable, managing to have someone like Li Wubai willingly serve under her.

“I remember you were the first in the sect competition. If Yue Hongling is that strong, doesn’t that make you…?” Ding Yuqing asked.

Lu Ye quickly denied it, “That was just because she let me win. Senior brothers and sisters, I have urgent matters, may I be excused?”

“You’re entering the Fourth to Sixth Layer spaces; the danger level is far higher than the lower three layers. Encountering an alien could lead to your downfall. Why don’t you stick with us?” Ding Yuqing kindly suggested.

“No need, farewell!”

He needed to find where Tu Wuying was as soon as possible; if he waited too long, he might not be able to find him.

His figure vanished.

The crowd…

“Such impatience; he’s bound to find trouble,” a Tianjiao from the Mountain River Pagoda Sect commented.

“He will definitely face danger. I, too, must leave to seek my own opportunities. Let’s reunite when fate allows. If the alien races attack us en masse, we can join forces then,” said another.

“Fellow Daoist, farewell!”

“Farewell!”

This group dispersed, each seeking their own fortunes.

Everyone initially ventured solo, and when the atmosphere grew increasingly tense later, that’s when they would collaborate for battle once their individual treasure gathering reached a satisfactory level.

Lu Ye swiftly moved through the shadows.

Soon, guided by the flow of demonic energy, he pinpointed the location of the demon clan’s teleportation point.

Due to distance, the human Tianjiao arrived first, while the alien races had to wait a bit longer to enter.

Lu Ye stood by, waiting.

Before long, the demonic energy suddenly thickened.

A Stone Sword appeared in Lu Ye’s hand, his eyes slightly narrowing.
