Chapter 2836: I'll Beat You to Death!

"What did you say? You wretched brat, you actually refused to become my disciple? Has he rebelled against heaven!"

"Ah, it's infuriating! How many geniuses in the myriad realms want to become my disciple, and I don't even give them a glance? Yet today, I'm rejected by a mere Saint Emperor?"

"I must beat him to death! I must beat him to death!"

Hearing Songquan Sovereign's reply, Yunshan Sovereign was furious and jumping with rage.

Of course, this scene was actually within Zhou Songquan's expectations.

His master valued face the most; when taking disciples, he absolutely demanded the cream of geniuses. Ordinary people could hardly catch his eye.

Every disciple Yunshan Sovereign took was a renowned powerhouse in their own right.

And he himself had always been his master's pride and the capital for his boasting.

To be honest, the Sovereign realm really couldn't be taught.

Thus, Zhou Songquan fully agreed with Ye Yuan's words.

Of course, his ability to step into the Sovereign realm was partly due to his own extraordinary talent, but it was also inseparable from Yunshan Sovereign's guidance.

Therefore, even after entering the Sovereign realm, Zhou Songquan still held great respect for Yunshan Sovereign.

Yunshan Sovereign's conditions for taking disciples were extremely harsh.

Especially after him, his conditions became so strict as to be appalling.

There was no help for it; with a pearl before, Yunshan Sovereign's standards became even higher.

Thus, Yunshan Sovereign had not taken a disciple for over a hundred thousand years.

This time, he broke precedent to take Ye Yuan as a disciple, and Ye Yuan actually refused—how could he save face?

"Hahaha, old ghost Yunshan, I never thought you'd see this day! What goes around comes around!" An aged voice came from within the Absolute Heaven Barrier.

Yunshan Sovereign's face darkened, and he sneered, "Old ghost Heiyang, don't you mock me here! That clumsy bird Zhao He is just no good. Even if you mock me for ten thousand years, he's still no good! Hmph!"

Heiyang Sovereign flew into a rage and said, "You blind old thing! Zhao He's talent is peerless; even if you didn't take him, he's already a ninth-grade Heavenly Alchemist! Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Could Zhao He's talent possibly be worse than a mere fifth-grade Heavenly Alchemist?"

Yunshan Sovereign chuckled and said, "You know what? He really can't compare! I've seen that recipe for the Flame Crystal Blood; it's absolutely inspired! Not to mention anything else, even the current Zhao He, with the blood essence of the Blood Clan, might not be able to develop it! This kid has spark. Otherwise, do you think I would take just anyone as a disciple?"

"You! Bullshit!" Heiyang Sovereign was choked speechless.

Heiyang Sovereign was originally a sovereign of the Thunderclap Continent, revered for martial arts.

Zhao He was a descendant of Heiyang Sovereign, not very interested in martial arts but extremely interested in alchemy.

Back then, Zhao He knelt at Yunshan Sovereign's door for a month, wanting to become his disciple, but Yunshan Sovereign didn't accept him.

Later, Heiyang Sovereign personally intervened, but Yunshan Sovereign still refused.

Heiyang Sovereign had always held a grudge over this matter.

However, Zhao He later lived up to expectations, managing to cultivate to the Indra realm and becoming a ninth-grade Heavenly Alchemist!

Heiyang Sovereign felt greatly vindicated and even came to show off to Yunshan Sovereign.

But Yunshan Sovereign dismissed it, bluntly stating that ninth grade was Zhao He's limit and he could never go further.

If he wanted to show off, he should come after Zhao He entered the Sovereign realm!

Heiyang Sovereign was snubbed, held a grudge, and went back to invest immense effort in training Zhao He.

But, as if Yunshan Sovereign had foresight, Zhao He's progress became extremely slow after reaching ninth grade.

Heiyang Sovereign paid a huge price, but the results were meager.

His face was slapped resoundingly.

This time, seeing Yunshan Sovereign suffer a setback, he naturally couldn't resist coming out to slap his face.

As a result, he got slapped again!

In fact, standing at the pinnacle of alchemy, Yunshan Sovereign's vision was naturally beyond ordinary people.

Zhao He wasn't really an incompetent fool; otherwise, he couldn't have reached the ninth-grade Heavenly Alchemist realm. But that was as far as he could go.

Yunshan Sovereign ignored the furious Heiyang Sovereign, calmed down, and asked Zhou Songquan, "Songquan, you've seen this child. What do you think?"

Zhou Songquan was silent for a moment, then evaluated, "Extraordinary, without a doubt!"

Yunshan Sovereign was surprised and said, "Oh? You think so highly of him?"

He knew that his disciple also had extremely high standards and ordinary geniuses didn't even catch his eye.

Because he himself was a phenomenal genius!

To receive such an evaluation from him showed that Ye Yuan's talent was truly beyond words.

Zhou Songquan nodded and said, "If he weren't a reverse cultivator, your disciple believes he should be able to step into the Sovereign realm!"

Not only Yunshan Sovereign, but the other sovereigns were also shocked.

The Sovereign realm was not something to be taken lightly.

Often, not a single sovereign would appear in hundreds of thousands of years.

In the myriad realms, there were many Indras, but very few sovereigns.

That step was too, too difficult!

For Zhou Songquan to give such an evaluation, Ye Yuan was definitely not bad.

But there was one pity—that is... reverse cultivator!

"Then did he refuse me sincerely, or was it deliberate?" Yunshan Sovereign suddenly asked.

The question was somewhat subjective, but Yunshan Sovereign didn't mind.

Before Zhou Songquan, a Sovereign realm expert, not the slightest emotional fluctuation from Ye Yuan could be concealed.

The reason Ye Yuan gave was very sufficient, but in fact, it wasn't a reason at all.

Yunshan Sovereign was no ordinary Sovereign realm powerhouse.

In alchemy, he was the absolute authority!

Heiyang Sovereign was a super powerhouse at the same level, yet he also acknowledged Yunshan Sovereign's alchemy; otherwise, he wouldn't have let Zhao He become his disciple.

To be taken as a disciple by such a supreme being was the dream of countless people!

One must know that even the sect master of the Ultimate Medicine Sect wasn't qualified to become his disciple.

Some people liked to play petty tricks, thinking it would make him think more highly of them.

Of course, such behavior was just self-righteous; how could they fool the eyes of a Sovereign realm expert?

Zhou Songquan said, "This child has ambitions higher than the sky. I'm afraid... he truly looks down on Master! He also said that he has come this far almost entirely by self-enlightenment. Who is his master... makes no difference."

Bang!

The Absolute Heaven Barrier trembled.

Yunshan Sovereign was enraged!

"Damn it! I've lived this long and never seen such an arrogant brat! I'm already arrogant enough, but this kid is even more arrogant than me! If he won't agree, I'll go find him myself! If he still won't agree, I'll beat him to death!"

Whoosh!

A streak of light flew out of the Absolute Heaven Barrier, heading north!

...

Bang!

Zuo Chen slapped Ye Yuan into the ground with a single blow and scolded, "Are you a pig? Such a good opportunity, and you actually threw it away? Do you know who Yunshan Sovereign is? Do you know how many people in the myriad realms cry and beg to become his disciple? It pisses me off! It pisses me off! Today, I must beat you, this worthless thing, to death!"
