Chapter 1605: Leng Yu, Whose Seniority Was Terrifyingly High

High in the sky, spiritual energy surged, forming a massive vortex.

The terrifying fluctuations of spiritual energy gave people a feeling of palpitations.

More and more martial artists gathered here, wanting to see who had caused such a commotion.

“That… isn’t that Elder Ye?”

“Elder Ye? Which Elder Ye?”

“Which other Elder Ye could it be? It’s the Elder Ye who refined the virtual-spirit divine-grade Haori Qiandan a hundred years ago!”

“It really is him! He… didn’t he die in the inheritance space? How did he get out?”

“Are you stupid! The fact that he could walk out of the Martial Tower clearly shows he has obtained the space inheritance! Look at him—though he’s still in the Guixu realm, he can already fly in the air!”

“Hiss… How terrifying! A hundred years have passed, and almost everyone had forgotten his existence. No one expected him to return! He’s the first to come out of the space inheritance!”

…

When people recognized Ye Yuan, they were all extremely astonished.

Since that ancient sage left the space inheritance, no one had ever come out of it.

But when everyone thought Ye Yuan had died inside, he suddenly came back!

His entrance was earth-shattering!

It wasn’t that Ye Yuan deliberately made such a grand display, but his comprehension of laws had improved too much over the past hundred years.

As the saying goes, when water is full, it overflows. The spiritual energy in the inheritance space was too thin, and Ye Yuan hadn’t broken through at all in the past century, which meant he had severely suppressed his cultivation.

But now that he was out, stimulated by the abundant spiritual energy in the inner city of Tianying Imperial Capital, he could no longer control it and began breaking through wildly.

Ye Yuan’s divine sea was like a lake that had dried up to the extreme, parched to the point of desperation.

Now, seeing spiritual energy, it was like a long drought meeting sweet rain, and he began to absorb it frantically.

For anyone else, absorbing spiritual energy so frantically would have burst their meridians long ago.

But Ye Yuan even felt the spiritual energy wasn’t strong or turbulent enough.

This bit of spiritual energy wasn’t even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth!

Soon, the higher-ups of the Alchemy Tower and Martial Tower were alarmed.

Ruoxu looked at the figure in the sky, his expression extremely grim.

“How could this be! How is it possible! He clearly died in the space inheritance, so why is he here? Why!” Ruoxu screamed inwardly.

Ye Yuan’s return was absolutely a thunderbolt out of the blue for him!

A Dao-cultivation powerhouse who could refine virtual-spirit divine-grade pills would almost certainly replace him in the future.

He didn’t want this to happen to him.

Not far away, the elders were marveling.

“It really is Elder Ye! He came out of the Martial Tower—has he fully comprehended the laws of space? This talent is too monstrous, isn’t it?”

“Who says it isn’t! His alchemy talent was already so strong it made people despair. I never expected his martial talent to be so terrifying too.”

“The inheritance of space laws has never been successfully comprehended by anyone, yet he succeeded. It’s unbelievable!”

“Hmm? Who is that person? He looks unfamiliar.”

Suddenly, an elder noticed a man in black at the foot of the Martial Tower.

The man in black was staring intently at Ye Yuan in the sky, his gaze flickering, as if lost in thought.

“Who are you? Don’t you know this is the Martial Tower’s restricted area? Trespassing here—do you know what crime you’ve committed?” Suddenly, someone came up and rebuked him.

Leng Yu frowned, then suddenly lashed out with a lightning-fast slap.

The man sneered and was about to block, but Leng Yu’s slap vanished mysteriously.

“Slap!”

The slap sent the man flying!

“Who do you think you are, daring to shout at me?” Leng Yu said coldly.

Lin Dong covered his half-swollen face, his eyes full of fear.

He had originally been irritated by Ye Yuan’s return.

At that moment, he happened to spot Leng Yu, a man of unknown origin, and wanted to take out his anger on him.

He thought his strength was about the same as the other’s, and if a fight broke out, it might interrupt Ye Yuan’s breakthrough.

But he never dreamed that the other’s strength was so formidable—a single slap sent him flying.

Lin Dong was horrified. That slap just now was definitely the law of space!

Why did this man of unknown origin also know the law of space?

“You… you attacked in the Martial Tower! Today, you won’t leave the Martial Tower alive!” Lin Dong roared angrily.

The commotion caught the attention of many experts. An old man narrowed his eyes and carefully examined Leng Yu.

He felt that this face looked somewhat familiar.

Leng Yu glanced at Lin Dong and couldn’t be bothered to pay him any attention.

The old man suddenly changed expression and walked over.

Lin Dong seemed to notice the old man’s movement and was overjoyed. He looked at Leng Yu with a sneer and said, “Keep being arrogant! Now even the Grand Elder has been alarmed. Let’s see how you die!”

Leng Yu also looked at the old man, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Lin Dong quickly greeted the old man, bowing respectfully, and said, “Grand Elder, this man of unknown origin dared to attack and injure someone, showing no regard for our Martial Tower!”

This old man was none other than the Grand Elder of the Martial Tower, Zheng Qi.

Zheng Qi waved his hand at Lin Dong, signaling him to stop talking, then bowed deeply to Leng Yu and said, “May I ask, sir, are you… Leng Yu, Grandmaster Leng?”

Leng Yu was somewhat surprised. “Oh? You know me?”

Seeing the other admit it, Zheng Qi was overjoyed and bowed deeply to Leng Yu. “So it really is Grandmaster Leng! Your disciple’s disciple Zheng Qi pays respects. My master is Wu Xingtang!”

Leng Yu showed a surprised expression. “You are Xingtang’s disciple? Judging by your strength, you are now the Grand Elder of the Martial Tower?”

Zheng Qi quickly replied, “Your disciple’s disciple is unworthy, but I humbly serve as the Grand Elder of the Martial Tower.”

Leng Yu nodded and sighed. “Xingtang did well, truly carrying forward our lineage. Since you are the Grand Elder, where is he now?”

Zheng Qi’s expression darkened. “Several tens of thousands of years ago, Master fell in a secret realm.”

Leng Yu’s expression froze, then he sighed. “What a pity! Xingtang was my most accomplished disciple. I never thought both master and disciple would have shallow fortune.”

Lin Dong, listening nearby, almost bit his tongue. His mind went completely blank.

The Grand Elder actually called this old man Grandmaster!

Grandmaster!

Lin Dong never imagined that this old man, who appeared out of nowhere, had such terrifyingly high seniority!

What had he just done?

But Leng Yu and Zheng Qi were both immersed in sorrow and had no time to pay him any attention.

Zheng Qi cautiously asked, “Grandmaster Leng ventured into the inheritance space back then. Master thought you had… fallen in the space inheritance. I never expected you to still be alive! Master’s spirit in heaven must be very comforted.”

Leng Yu smiled bitterly. “Dead? Not quite, but it’s almost the same as being dead. If it weren’t for meeting Ye Yuan, I would have been a living corpse in the space inheritance for the rest of my life.”
