Imperial God Emperor

Chapter 702 - Test (4)

Translator: Aran

Though Ye Qingyu\'s physical cultivation had always been strong, and causing air to explode was nothing he could not do, he had certainly not been strong to this extent. Now, just clenching his fingers gently would cause the air to compress intensely and explode and any spatial barrier to tremor.

Ye Qingyu was at a loss.

It was only later that he felt as if his body had changed.

His body was now filled with a mysterious power and his physical cultivation had strengthened by several times.

He had a false feeling that he could break the universe just by using a little strength.

And it was not just his physical cultivation that strengthened. He discovered that the yuan qi torrents in his meridians were surging at a speed and intensity several times greater than before.

The circulation of one\'s yuan qi at the speed of thunder was the exclusive sign of an high-level Immortal Step expert.

Ye Qingyu gained new comprehension as soon as he operated his yuan qi slightly.

His yuan qi cultivation was, at present, merely at the first level of the lower Immortal Step realm. Yet, just based on yuan qi cultivation alone, he would be no weaker than an expert at the fourth or fifth level of the Immortal Step realm.

This was the benefit of having his yuan qi circulating at an insanely rapid pace.

This surely has something to do with that green breeze. Who exactly was that mysterious person? Could it be the Storm Martial Emperor? Otherwise, there\'s no way he could have mastered such a terrifying wind power. He said then that after giving me the Dao foundation, the road ahead is up to me. What does that mean? Could this be the so-called Dao foundation?

Question after question popped up in Ye Qingyu\'s mind.

He indistinctly also felt that the reason why the Wall of Storm would cause such a terrible change on his body was related to that green breeze. This added more weight to his suspicion that the mysterious figure in the underground lake was the Storm Martial Emperor.

But after reconsidering, he felt that this was unlikely.

Because, according to the legends, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors had already fallen and disappeared without a trace. None of them had appeared for countless years. Several ruins and artifacts had emerged from time to time and shocked the world, but all were eventually found to be fake.

That glorious age of the Human Race was too long ago. Nobody could explain what happened back then, and thus everything had become a book of mysteries.

After thinking back and forth, Ye Qingyu became utterly confused.

These mysteries were buried in the sands of time. Unless one lived through that age, it was impossible to know for sure. Guesses were but guesses.

Infinite questions ran through his mind.

For a short while, he lost his senses under the deluge of mysteries. He stood vacantly on the spot and was oblivious to everything happening around him.

When the others saw this, it appeared to them as if he had been scared stiff. He had a bewildered and uncertain expression on his face, and was a miserable sight.

"What a dogsh*t war god, scared silly by the Wall of Storm? Haha, so pathetic and funny!" Huang Lin was by this time already a little over the edge. He would not spare any chance to mock the envoy missionaries, particularly Ye Qingyu.

The crowd immediately glowered at him.

He became ever more pleased and guffawed, "He who has a clear conscience doesn\'t fear ghosts knocking on the door. The Wall of Storm doesn\'t just attack the body, but also shocks the mind at times. Judging from his spiritless look, he must have done too many things against his conscience, and that\'s why the wall has hit him hard. He looks like he\'s losing his mind!"

The Wall of Storm can shock a person\'s mind?

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Yu Xiaoxing and the other eight participants exchanged glances with one another. They did not sense, during the test, that consciousness power was discharged from the Wall of Storm.

Could Ye Qingyu be a special case?

Yu Xiaoxing became anxious and tense as she gazed at Ye Qingyu. With her heart in her mouth, she subconsciously raised a hand to pat on his shoulders.

"Your Majesty, be careful." Shangguan Wu\'s face turned pale as he swiftly obstructed her.

Even with his unfathomably deep cultivation, he was nearly sent flying when he tried to touch Ye Qingyu earlier. Hence, given Yu Xiaoxing\'s inadequate strength, she would certainly be jarred and injured.

But just then...

"Eh? What\'s happening?" Ye Qingyu, whose eyes had been inert, suddenly regained his senses, and understood what was going on as soon as he saw Yu Xiaoxing\'s worried face. He walked over and patted her hand, laughing. "Don\'t worry, I\'m fine."

Throughout the Heaven Wasteland Domain, only Ye Qingyu was qualified to be this casual and intimate when facing the Wuzhao Empress.

Yu Xiaoxing heaved a sigh of relief.

With beams of curiosity in his eyes, Shangguan Wu scrutinized Ye Qingyu from head to toe before saying, "Lord Ye, are you really alright? Just now..."

The latter cupped his hands, laughing, "Lord Shangguan, thank you for your concern. I received a shock during the test of the Wall of Storm and lost control for a while because of alterations to my comprehension and inner yuan power. But I am feeling much better now."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wu was even more shocked. He thought back associatively to the feedback force he suffered when he tapped on Ye\'s shoulders, and immediately knew that the latter had just received a big opportunity. He subconsciously asked, "Is that true? Lord Ye, did you really gain comprehension from the power of the Wall of Storm? This is fantastic news. I wonder, what are the gains this time?"

Ye Qingyu had an excellent opinion of this deputy commander and trusted him greatly. Without any reservations, he laughed and replied, "The gains are considerable. Having gone through the Wall of Storm\'s enlightenment, I feel I\'ll soon be able to move another step forward."

With that, he began to operate his inner yuan, causing an aura to arise from all over his body.

A barely discernible pale green mist coiled around his body, raising his already otherworldly demeanor to the next level. In a flash, he became a walking Immortal and his body seemed to glow, thereby engendering a sense of unworthiness and shame in everyone on the plaza.

Huang Tayun, who had remained by the side in silence, changed countenance and his expression became ever more gloomy.

Conversely, Shangguan Wu appeared very excited. Unable to restrain himself, he patted Ye\'s shoulders repeatedly and said, "Haha, this is simply wonderful. Lord Ye is indeed a young, promising, and talented prodigy who bodes well for the future success of the Human Race!"

"Lord Shangguan, you flatter m,." Ye Qingyu humbly acknowledged.

In reality, although he was indeed not someone who enjoyed showing off, his purpose for displaying the gains and comprehension he just attained was to reveal his strength and potential.He would thereby impress Shangguan Wu and score a few more points for the Heaven Wasteland Domain.

At this time, the envoy mission finally felt relieved.

Ye Qingyu turned his body and cupped his hands toward the crowd, saying, "Sorry for making everyone worry just now."

"Lord Ye, no problem."

"Haha, that\'s right. We long knew that you\'d pass the test."

"Yup. Only, some blind fella kept sneering from the side, all full of himself, thinking he\'s some kind of superior person. Hoho, he\'s actually nothing but a buffoon." From among the crowd, a quick-tempered and blunt-speaking Brute Race expert shouted.

A sea of laughter once again broke out.

Everyone knew who these words were aimed at.

Huang Lin\'s face flushed at once.

He glared at the Brute Race expert with gloomy eyes and snapped, "Lower domain bastard, who are you talking about?"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"He was talking about you. Woof-a-meow, unhappy about that?"

A blustering voice was heard.

The silly dog Little Nine jumped out of the crowd and into mid-air, pointing a paw at Huang Lin and cursing.

"Woof... you f*ckin\' smelly nincompoop, what\'s the matter, can\'t take an insult? Didn\'t you have a lot to say about Little Ye? What about now? Feeling like your face has been slapped silly?"

The crowd watched on dumbfoundedly and felt their anger being vented on their behalf by these words.

A sense of fear grew in Huang Lin\'s heart as he looked at the fang-baring and cheap-faced silly dog, "You... dog... you..."

The barking noises, that he heard at the dragon head city gate, which sounded like the furious roars of a divine dragon, reverberated in his mind. Golden stars inexplicably flashed in front of his eyes and a hallucinatory buzzing sound rang in his ears.

He was a little afraid of this dog.

"You douchey sick bastard. I even saw you stealing my pee under the city gate yesterday and drinking it furtively. You must have a screw loose somewhere. Tut-tut, your sneaky manner was simply pathetic..." The silly dog recalled the scene from yesterday and firmly believed that Huang Lin was a psychopath.

"You foolish dog, what nonsense is that? It was clearly the precious saliva of a mythical beast which I obtained yesterday, you..." Huang Lin subconsciously retorted but abruptly paused as if realizing something. Then, pointing a finger at the silly dog, he began to tremble violently, "You... what did you say? Pee, you..."

That explained why his cultivation did not increase at all after consuming the mythical beast saliva, and there were none of the effects promised in the legends. Huang Lin had been deeply puzzled, but finally understood why.

Did I really drink dog pee?

That drop of yellow liquid was this dog\'s pee?

Oh my god, this is utterly shameful.

His body shuddered until he was on the verge of fainting.

"Is this dumbass suffering a seizure?" The silly dog hastily dodged to the side, as if afraid of being infected.

Many among the envoy mission began to guffaw at his plight.

Even several guards looked disdainfully at Huang Lin.

Although the latter, who only enlisted in the Violet Gold Divine Guards and attained a captain\'s position thanks to his relations with his uncle, had already displeased many people with his regular conduct. His behavior today was simply so disgusting that many of the guards felt it a disgrace to be in the same squad as him.

Some of them tacitly took one or two steps back to maintain a distance from him.

Just then...

"Enough! Creating disorder on the test site and verbally assaulting someone else are grave offenses. When has a dog ever dared to talk in front of the holy Wall of Storm? Come men, take that reckless mad dog away and send it for slaughter in the Demon Refinery." Huang Tayun, who had remained silent, finally spoke up, his eyes brimming with bleak killing intent.
