Chapter 632: Chapter 618: Heavenly Palace Disciples!
Taiyi Palace, various forces had successively departed, and numerous disciples, under the leadership of the elders, began dealing with the ruins within the Holy Palace and calculating the losses incurred by this recent turmoil.
Xiao Ye, along with Prince Donghuang and Nangong Xingyu, after bidding farewell, stood still, pondering their future paths.
Because during the Holy Banquet, the attitude the Taiyi Palace Master showed towards Xiao Ye made it so that none of the elders approached to ask Xiao Ye to busy himself.
“Setting other matters aside, within three years at least, my cultivation must advance to the Emperor Martial Realm!” Xiao Ye firmly thought to himself.
His current level of cultivation was merely at the Late Stage of King Martial Third Level, which for other martial artists would mean spanning across six realms and breaking through the Boundary Barrier of the Emperor Martial Realm in three years—an almost impossible task. However, Xiao Ye already had some ideas in mind.
“I must undergo trials. Only through experience is there a chance. In addition, I must cultivate in the Underground World of Chaoyang Valley for a while, taking advantage of its treasure land to swiftly enhance my cultivation!”
It was upon recalling Elder Canglong that Xiao Ye felt the pressure in his heart lighten slightly.
After all, that place with Elder Canglong had an ocean formed from the liquefied Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to cultivate in, which was far more terrifying than using High Grade Essence Stones, especially with the frightening amplification effect of the Heavenly Treasure Record.

It was not impossible for him to become an Emperor Martial Realm expert within three years!
Just then, a commanding voice called out, interrupting Xiao Ye’s train of thought. He looked up and saw the Taiyi Palace Master floating over and landing in front of him.
“Greetings, Palace Master!” Xiao Ye quickly bowed respectfully, his face full of deference.
Although the Holy Palace Master had, due to Lin Feng’s issue, readily believed Wu Pojun’s lies and issued him a punishment, leaving Xiao Ye highly dissatisfied and holding a very poor impression of the Palace Master.
However, the actions of the Holy Palace Master during the subsequent Holy Banquet greatly altered his impression.
Thus, at this moment, Xiao Ye still held much respect for the Palace Master of the Holy Palace.
“Ha ha!” Seeing Xiao Ye’s reaction, the Holy Palace Master laughed heartily, a gleam of relief flashing in his eyes.
For him, the greatest gain of this Holy Banquet was discovering Xiao Ye—a piece of rough jade covered in dust. He was even more pleased that his fair judgment during the banquet prevented this genius from becoming disheartened towards Taiyi Palace.
At Taiyi Palace, after Jun Shitian had left and the Ultimate Palace’s expert attacked, the vast number of fallen disciples had darkened the prospects of Taiyi Palace’s younger generation. If a genius like Xiao Ye could be massively cultivated with abundant resources, it wouldn’t take long before he would lead the Taiyi Palace’s youth out of their darkest period.
Moreover, Xiao Ye’s heroic declaration to the middle-aged woman from the Ice and Snow Palace had even moved the Palace Master.
“Since ancient times, heavenly prides cherish beauties, which is a common sentiment among men. This Palace Master can understand, and the Saintess Bing Ya of the Ice and Snow Palace is indeed remarkable. Your choice will be supported by the Holy Palace!”
“I will help you win at the Ice and Snow Palace’s suitor selection contest five years from now!” The Holy Palace Master approached Xiao Ye, patting his shoulder as he spoke.
“Eh?” Xiao Ye was slightly startled by this comment.
Didn’t the Palace Master’s words imply that he would receive grand cultivation support from Taiyi Palace in the future?
These words had already been spoken by the Palace Master earlier, but at that time Xiao Ye thought it was just the Palace Master arguing with the middle-aged woman from the Ice and Snow Palace. Now, it seemed there was more to it.
Even someone as composed as Xiao Ye couldn’t help but feel his heart pounding at this thought.
Taiyi Palace had a long-standing heritage, having even produced an Undefeated Emperor, a peerless figure of dazzling excellence; the Holy Palace must have left behind numerous treasures and treasure lands, such as Emperor Valley!
If such a sect were to focus its cultivation efforts, as long as the martial artist in question wasn’t completely inept, their cultivation would skyrocket like a rocket.
“Palace Master, this disciple sincerely thanks you,” Xiao Ye said earnestly, bowing with great politeness.
“Alright, no need for excessive formalities.”
“I have my own selfish reasons for helping you at the Ice and Snow Palace five years from now,” the Taiyi Palace Master slowly said.
“Selfish reasons?” Xiao Ye was taken aback, looking curiously at the other party, waiting for him to continue.
“You should know the current situation of our Holy Palace, our top young disciples simply cannot compare with those from the Four Great Emperor Domains, or even with elite forces like the Ice and Snow Palace,” the Taiyi Palace Master spoke, his expression growing somber.
Xiao Ye nodded in acknowledgment.
He was certainly aware of this.
For example, the current top devilish disciple of the Main Hall, Lin Feng, although ranked first among all the disciples of the Holy Palace, his cultivation had not yet advanced to the Emperor Martial Realm. If placed across the vast Central State, he would not shine as brightly.
For the thousand-year heritage of Taiyi Palace, this was nothing short of a disgrace, likely to attract criticism from many.
The Taiyi Palace Master continued, “I believe numerous forces in Central State are eager to see our Taiyi Palace become the butt of jokes.”
“Looking at the entire younger generation of Taiyi Palace, I’m afraid there’s no disciple with the same caliber as you, capable of entering the Martial Arts Extreme Realm twice, which has already said it all.”
“The Palace Master’s dedication to cultivating you, so that you will shine at the Ice and Snow Palace’s suitor selection contest five years from now, naturally can help our Taiyi Palace to rally once again. This is where my selfishness lies.”
“One can say, the future honor or disgrace of Taiyi Palace, rests entirely upon you.”
The Taiyi Palace Master, having said this, fixed an intense and meaningful gaze on Xiao Ye.
Hearing this, Xiao Ye’s eyes sparkled, feeling the weight on his shoulders grow heavier.
“Palace Master, this disciple will work hard and will not let you down,” Xiao Ye was silent for a moment before slowly speaking with a deep voice.
It was his promise, and also the best way to repay the Holy Palace Master’s profound investment in him.
“Ha ha, good, this Palace Master believes in his own judgment,” the Holy Palace Master said with a hearty laugh, patting Xiao Ye’s shoulder as he continued, “Starting from today, you will be a disciple of the Heavenly Hall, but you shall enjoy the same privileges as the top devilish disciples of the Main Hall.”
“When you successfully enter the Main Hall and become a devilish disciple, I will, of course, pass on the various Martial Arts Secret Manuals left by the Undefeated Emperor and give you the best treatment.”
“Now, rest well. At this time tomorrow, I will send someone to take you to Emperor Valley.”
Xiao Ye’s eyes suddenly lit up, and this series of rewards and favors made his breathing grow heavy.
