Chapter 2920: You Cheated!

As soon as he entered the Forest of No Confusion, countless auras of 'Dao' rushed toward him.

Ye Yuan swept his gaze over them and felt a glimmer of enlightenment.

Thus, he began to contemplate.

He cultivated the sacred scripture of the Soul Clan, and his understanding of the Dao of the Soul was extremely profound.

These so-called 'Daos' were clear to Ye Yuan at a glance.

After contemplating for a while, Ye Yuan found... them utterly bland.

These 'Daos' were too shallow and offered him little inspiration.

Of course, he understood that this was because the Divine Derivation was too profound.

The more he cultivated, the more Ye Yuan discovered the vastness and depth of the Divine Derivation, pointing directly to the origin of the Soul Dao.

It was then that he remembered he seemed to be participating in an assessment.

Around him, there was no one else in sight.

So, he strode forward.

The surrounding 'Daos' grew more numerous and profound, as if they made the 'Dao' within reach.

The Forest of No Confusion was meant to make one hold firm to their Dao heart.

Seeing too many 'Daos' would cause one's Dao heart to waver.

In this Forest of No Confusion, you simply could not avoid these so-called 'Daos'; they did not need to be seen with the naked eye but directly touched the soul.

But for Ye Yuan, these could not affect him in the slightest.

Not to mention how powerful the Divine Derivation was, just Ye Yuan's Dao heart alone was extraordinarily strong!

He was a man who dared to point his sword at the heavens!

Thus, his forward speed was extremely fast.

Ten li was but an instant for a True Emperor Heaven.

So, after a few breaths, Ye Yuan emerged.

……

Outside the Forest of Enlightenment, the three Great Emperors of the East were discussing their nominal disciples.

“Qin Shitian has indeed lived up to my expectations. Among the three, he is ultimately the one with superior skill!” said the Great Emperor of the East, stroking his beard with a smile.

The Great Emperor of the West disagreed: “Brother Dongyang, isn’t it still too early to draw conclusions? The Forest of Enlightenment is full of variables, and Qin Shitian’s lead is not significant. Zhou Yu has always been steady; he will certainly not lose in this trial!”

The Great Emperor of the East said calmly, “Then let us wait and see… see…”

Suddenly, the Great Emperor of the East’s eyes went wide, and he stammered.

Because a point of light, lightning-fast, surpassed Qin Shitian and the other two, reaching the finish line in just a few breaths.

The Great Emperor of the West laughed: “Brother Dongyang, it’s just a competition among juniors; why get so excited?”

Excited my ass!

Are you fucking blind?

Well, it seemed this guy hadn’t looked at the light screen.

Taking a deep breath, the Great Emperor of the East said, “Someone has come out!”

“S-someone has come out?” The Great Emperor of the West thought the guy must be joking.

Just then, a stir arose from the crowd.

“That was too fast! I was focused on Qin Shitian and the other two and didn’t even see who it was!”

“Me too! This… could there be a problem with the light screen?”

“It must be a problem with the light screen! The record for the Forest of Enlightenment is three hours and a quarter; even if someone broke the record, it couldn’t be this fast, right?”

…

They only saw a flash of light, and then it disappeared.

As for who it was, no one had really seen clearly.

Because everyone’s attention was entirely on the Three Sons of Chilian.

That was the main highlight of this assessment.

But soon, a figure appeared before everyone’s eyes.

It was none other than Ye Yuan!

The forest keeper was also somewhat dazed; his focus had been on Qin Shitian and his two companions.

By the time he noticed, someone had already come out.

Ye Yuan looked at the forest keeper and asked, "Senior, have I passed?"

The forest keeper, with a bewildered expression, nodded and then shook his head, demanding, "You... how could you be so fast?"

Ye Yuan retorted, "It's only ten li of land; for us, isn't it a snap of the fingers?"

The forest keeper was taken aback, then said angrily, "No! You... you were clearly trapped at the very beginning, how did you pass so quickly? You cheated!"

Everyone felt a sense of relief; so, it was cheating!

Indeed, only by cheating could one be so fast, right?

The forest keeper had been at the Forest of Bewilderment for many years.

He had seen countless geniuses.

But even the most gifted could not pass the Forest of Bewilderment so quickly.

Therefore, it could only be cheating.

Even if you cheated, the protagonists this time were the Three Sons of Chilian; stealing their thunder was like slapping the faces of the three hall masters.

Ye Yuan laughed upon hearing this: "Since Senior says I cheated, let me walk it again, and Senior can enter the forest to inspect. If there's any problem, Senior can strike me dead on the spot, agreed?"

The forest keeper's face flushed; Ye Yuan was too fast for him to keep up!

Although he was an Emperor-level expert, he could not remain unmoved in the Forest of Bewilderment.

"I'll do it!" At this moment, Emperor Dongyang spoke up.

He also did not believe that Ye Yuan could traverse the Forest of Bewilderment in such a short time.

Such a thing had never happened; it was too bizarre.

Ye Yuan cupped his hands to Emperor Dongyang and entered the forest again.

With a flicker, Emperor Dongyang also entered the Forest of Bewilderment.

As soon as he entered, Emperor Dongyang's pupils contracted; Ye Yuan's figure darted into the distance like lightning.

The countless soul paths around him could not affect Ye Yuan in the slightest.

Emperor Dongyang also strode forward, his heart filled with shock.

These low-level soul paths naturally could not affect him much.

But still, they had some effect.

He exerted all his strength, yet could only eat Ye Yuan's dust.

In just a few breaths, the two quickly exited the Forest of Bewilderment.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for Emperor Dongyang's verdict.

Emperor Dongyang's heart was shaken at that moment.

Such a powerful Dao heart!

He shook his head at Xi Chen and the other, saying, "This boy did not cheat!"

Gasps!

Outside the Forest of Bewilderment, it was in an uproar.

"How is this possible? From start to finish, only five breaths!"

"With this result, how can anyone else compete?"

"No wonder he looked down on the Three Sons of Chilian; this... is a total thrashing!"

...

This result was too explosive.

So explosive that no one could believe it.

Jiang Hao's expression was like he had swallowed a fly.

Sure enough, Yan Yuzhen's mocking voice soon reached his ears: "Hehe, Brother Jiang Hao is right; my judgment is indeed terrible. I didn't realize Brother Ye was so formidable! But Brother Jiang Hao's judgment seems even worse than mine. Ye Yuan's result can thrash the Three Sons of Chilian, can it not?"

Not just thrash, it was devastatingly overwhelming!

Entering the Forest of Bewilderment, the shorter the time, the harder it was.

Over the years, as everyone constantly broke records, improving by even a few breaths was extremely difficult.

But now, the record no longer mattered.

Because it was impossible for anyone to break Ye Yuan's record.
