Chapter 2711: Can't Teach That!

Deep within the secluded cave, a shadow flickered faintly in the darkness.

Shuoyan faced this shadow, not daring to breathe.

“You are Huben’s son?” After a long while, the shadow spoke.

“Reporting to Your Holiness, my father is indeed King Huben,” Shuoyan quickly replied.

“Mm, Huben has a fine son. What is your name?”

“My name is Shuoyan.”

“Shuoyan, are you willing to become my disciple?”

Shuoyan was stunned, at a loss for a moment.

He never expected that the Saint Sovereign would want to take him as a disciple!

The Saintly Celestial Realm—that was a godlike existence!

Throughout the Yuqing Continent, countless experts existed, but only a handful could set foot in the Saintly Celestial Realm.

Even his father, King Huben, had reached half-step Saintly Celestial Realm, just half a step away from a successful breakthrough.

Yet, in the end, he was still half a step short!

That half step was a chasm!

That half step was far, far too difficult!

Now, a godlike existence wanted to take him as a disciple?

This was truly a godsend!

Shuoyan’s face lit up with ecstasy, and he knelt directly, exclaiming excitedly, “Disciple pays respects to Master!”

The shadow nodded. “Mm, your bloodline power is very strong. With my guidance, you have great hope of stepping into the Saintly Celestial Realm! Among the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, there are three Saintly Celestial Realm experts. I am known as the Bull Demon Saint Sovereign! From now on, you are my disciple!”

“So Master is the Bull Demon Saint Sovereign! I’ve heard my father speak of you—how you swept through the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, subdued all beasts, and attained the Saintly Celestial Realm! Master attained enlightenment the latest, yet you are the strongest among the three Saintly Celestial Realm experts! I never imagined I would be fortunate enough to become your disciple!”

Hearing the name Bull Demon Saint Sovereign, Shuoyan was overjoyed.

He never thought that one day he would become the disciple of such a legend.

But Shuoyan knew that a large part of the credit for becoming the Bull Demon Saint Sovereign’s disciple went to Ye Yuan.

Earlier, when he was on the brink of life and death, it was Ye Yuan’s genuine-grade heavenly pill that played a key role in awakening his bloodline at the final moment!

The genuine-grade heavenly pill had fused with the power of the Great Dao, and part of that power still lay dormant within his body.

Without that power, relying solely on his own talent, he would never have awakened his bloodline.

Let alone being noticed by the Bull Demon Saint Sovereign and becoming his disciple.

“That’s all in the past, not worth mentioning,” the Bull Demon Saint Sovereign said indifferently, without joy or sorrow.

“By the way, Master, my elder brother also has bloodline talent. Could you give him some guidance as well?” Shuoyan, not forgetting Ye Yuan, asked.

Unexpectedly, the Bull Demon Saint Sovereign said flatly, “A trash bloodline martial artist, and you call that bloodline talent? Humans shouldn’t be in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains in the first place. I’ve already sent Dahuang to deal with him!”

Shuoyan’s expression changed drastically. “What! Master, you—!”

The Bull Demon Saint Sovereign was unconcerned and said calmly, “Remember, your bloodline is extremely noble, bearing the power of chaos! That mere human is unworthy to associate with you!”

Before he finished speaking, a terrifying dragon might erupted outside the cave!

A dragon’s roar soared into the sky!

In the darkness, the Bull Demon Saint Sovereign’s expression shifted dramatically, and he immediately transmitted, “Dahuang, stop!”

Outside the cave, Dahuang’s expression was also very unpleasant.

Ye Yuan’s punch just now had actually forced him back three steps!

A mid-stage Boundless Heaven realm martial artist forcing a full-circle Jade Emperor Heaven realm expert back three steps—this was simply unimaginable!

One must know that a full-circle Jade Emperor Heaven realm expert could kill Boundless Heaven realm cultivators with a wave of his hand.

Even a full-circle Boundless Heaven realm expert couldn’t make him retreat half a step!

Yet this young man before him had done it.

Although it was partly due to his underestimation, a retreat was still a retreat.

The power of that punch just now was terrifying!

He believed that even a full-circle Boundless Heaven realm expert would definitely be blown apart by that punch!

Fierce!

Unmatched!

Overbearing!

Earlier, he had mocked Ye Yuan as a mixed-blood trash, yet a trash could unleash such a terrifying strike!

He had to admit, it was a slap in the face!

Humiliated and enraged, he was about to kill Ye Yuan when he heard the Bull Demon Saint Sovereign’s transmission.

His face dark, he said, “The Saint Sovereign wants you to go in!”

Ye Yuan glanced at him and walked into the cave.

“Brother Ye Yuan, I’m so glad you’re okay! I was scared to death just now!” Seeing Ye Yuan, Shuoyan exclaimed excitedly.

He had indeed been terrified, thinking Ye Yuan had already been killed.

Unexpectedly, one martial technique from Ye Yuan had made the Bull Demon Saint Sovereign change his mind.

Ye Yuan smiled. “Your big brother is lucky; I’m not so easy to kill.”

The Bull Demon Saint Sovereign spoke, “I never thought I would misjudge someone! Young man, you are clearly human, so how do you have such powerful true dragon bloodline?”

Ye Yuan’s bloodline was different from that of true spirits.

His bloodline was recessive; if not actively released, the bloodline power would hide in his blood, completely undetectable.

But once it erupted, his dragon might would shock anyone.

The Bull Demon Saint Sovereign had extraordinary strength, but he could only tell that Ye Yuan was a dragon-blooded martial artist.

Who would have thought he’d be slapped in the face?

Based on that move alone, Ye Yuan’s bloodline power was definitely not inferior to Shuoyan’s!

He had indeed misjudged.

The Bull Demon Saint Sovereign never expected to encounter two heaven-defying bloodline powerhouses at once!

Ye Yuan looked at the Bull Demon Saint Sovereign with a faint smile. “Not going to kill me anymore?”

The Bull Demon Saint Sovereign looked a bit embarrassed, but fortunately, the cave was dark and it wasn’t noticeable.

“Since you are of the dragon clan, you are naturally of our true spirit lineage! Young man, are you willing to become my disciple? With my guidance, your chances of breaking through to the Saintly Celestial Realm are very high!” the Bull Demon Saint Sovereign said.

For ordinary martial artists, breaking through to the Saintly Celestial Realm was an immense temptation.

Countless experts roamed the Yuqing Continent, yet how many could break through?

Becoming a disciple of a Saintly Celestial Realm expert not only granted access to more resources but, most importantly, they had experience in breaking through to the Saintly Celestial Realm and knew what it entailed.

Such experience was the most precious!

But Ye Yuan didn’t need it at all.

He asked instead, “Saint Sovereign, that punch I just threw—can you perform it?”

The Bull Demon Saint Sovereign was momentarily speechless. That punch, though its power was nothing to him, could actually invoke the power of the Great Dao!

Such a terrifying and profound martial technique was something he simply couldn’t teach Ye Yuan.

He also understood Ye Yuan’s meaning: if you can’t even perform this punch, what right do you have to take me as a disciple?

Logically, a Boundless Heaven realm martial technique should be a piece of cake for a Saintly Celestial Realm expert.

Even if he hadn’t practiced it, relying on his profound comprehension of the Heavenly Dao, he could master it instantly.

Unfortunately, Ye Yuan’s punch was not among those!

Ye Yuan’s punch was only limited by his current realm, unable to unleash its true power.

Once Ye Yuan broke through to the Jade Emperor Heaven realm, the power of this punch would increase severalfold!

Such a profound punch—he couldn’t teach that!
