Hearing this, the Grand Elder looked at Chu Xiao above with a strange expression; three hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, that was no small sum.
Even for the Qingyun Sect, taking out three hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones would be a significant strain, let alone for the Saint King Sect.
"I'm just asking if the Saint dares to agree?"
Seeing Ye Lin unmoved, Chu Yun continued to press, step by step, forcing Ye Lin.
Chu Yun looked at the surrounding Qingyun Sect Disciples, sneering inwardly; as long as this Qingyun Sect Saint wasn't a coward, he would have to agree.
Once he refused, this Qingyun Sect Saint would become a joke.
The Saint of the overlord Qingyun Sect not daring to accept a challenge from a Disciple of a subordinate Sect—if this were to spread, what a huge joke it would be.
"Accepting your challenge is fine, but I have one condition."
"What condition?"
Chu Yun asked, frowning.
"On top of the previous terms, add the jade pendant on your chest. If I win, you not only give me three hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, but also your jade pendant. How about it?"
As Ye Lin finished speaking, Chu Yun subconsciously clutched his chest, his expression changing.
He... how did he know about the jade pendant on my chest?
"This jade pendant was the last thing my mother left me before she passed away. No, change it, and I'll definitely agree to you."
"Then there's nothing to discuss. You proposed the condition, and now you won't agree. Moreover, I have no obligation to accept your challenge."
"Since that's the case, then I ask Senior Chu to withdraw the Saint King Sect Disciples from the Burning Sky Mine, lest my Qingyun Sect Disciples accidentally injure them later, which would not be good."
Ye Lin said with a smile, and the ten Foundation Establishment Initial Stage Disciples behind him unleashed their Aura, stirring up a gust of Kuang Feng in the main hall.
Seeing Ye Lin like this, Chu Xiao's expression was a bit unsightly; ten Foundation Establishment Initial Stage Disciples—the Qingyun Sect had a grand plan.
"Alright... I agree to you. Do you dare to fight?"
Seeing his father's troubled expression, Chu Yun gritted his teeth and said.
"Yun'er, no."
Chu Xiao's expression changed as he advised Chu Yun.
"That is the only thing your mother left you when she passed away."
"Father, don't worry, it's not yet decided who will win or lose."
Chu Yun patted Chu Xiao's shoulder, comforting him.
"You... sigh."
Seeing his son like this, Chu Xiao sighed deeply. At this point, there was no other way.
The Qingyun Sect was pressing hard, and he couldn't turn hostile, which was truly unbearable.
"Good, Young Master Chu Yun has great Aura."
"Then please, Qingyun Sect Saint, move to the arena."
Chu Yun cupped his fists and bowed to Ye Lin. No matter what, Ye Lin's status was several levels higher than his, and this was an undeniable fact.
Seeing Chu Yun walk out of the main hall, Ye Lin followed with a smile.
Chu Yun was so confident; he wondered what his trump card was, which left him puzzled.
Upon reaching the arena, the two stood in opposition. Around the arena, figures stood, all Qingyun Sect Disciples.
"The Saint is a guest, so please, Saint, make the first move."
Chu Yun took the long saber handed to him by a Disciple nearby and said to Ye Lin with a smile.
"The Qingyun Sect Saint is indeed a talented individual, but, what a pity, what a pity, it really is too much of a pity."
Beside the Grand Elder, Feng Shao's face was full of regret, which made the Grand Elder irritated.
"Old fellow, what's regrettable? Just say it directly."
The Grand Elder snorted coldly, flicked his sleeve, and looked displeased, this old fellow.
"What a pity, your Saint is going to lose. My Young Master's Saber Realm entered the Major Achievement stage a few days ago."
Feng Shao said proudly. Hearing this, the Grand Elder's heart skipped a beat.
The depth of comprehension of all things in the world is divided into the following stages:
Minor Achievement, Major Achievement, Concept, Rule, Domain, Law, Dao.
And a typical Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, even if he comprehended Minor Achievement Saber Realm, that was already very impressive.
No wonder this old fellow was so confident. However, the Grand Elder's face now showed a mysterious smile.
Major Achievement Saber Realm? What was that? His own Saint had comprehended the existence of Concept.
"Forget it, you make the first move. Otherwise, if I win, it won't be glorious. After all, it's an Elder teaching a Junior. If I make the first move, what kind of decorum would that be? If it spreads, the outside world will say I'm disrespectful to the old."
Ye Lin smiled and shook his head.
"You... good, very good. I hope you don't kneel on the ground begging me later."
Chu Yun was enraged, waving the long saber in his hand, and a mysterious charm emanated.
"Divine Lion Slash."
Chu Yun placed the long saber in front of his chest and roared.
Above the long saber, a majestic golden lion phantom appeared on the arena.
Saber Qi crisscrossed all around.
Major Achievement Saber Realm, the control over the saber had already entered a meticulous Realm.
"So it's Major Achievement Saber Realm. Is this your confidence?"
"I've just become a Saint, and the outside world is skeptical of my strength. Since that's the case, I'll be a bit more forceful."
Ye Lin muttered to himself. Strictly speaking, he was a dark horse. After all, in two years, going from a newly initiated Utility Disciple to the position of Qingyun Sect Saint—who would believe that if it spread?
This led to those who didn't know Ye Lin thinking he became a Saint through the back door, and his deterrent power to the outside world was simply not enough.
"Concept, control the surrounding heaven and earth, gather the power of heaven and earth, for my use."
Ye Lin held Evil Slayer, closed his eyes, and began to wholeheartedly perceive heaven and earth. He wanted to re-enter the Realm he was in during the previous arena match.
That Realm was called Intent. Once one comprehends Concept, one can mobilize the power of heaven and earth for one's own use, making it incredibly powerful.
"Be careful."
Chu Yun charged towards Ye Lin, his long saber slashing towards Ye Lin's chest. When he saw Ye Lin close his eyes and remain motionless, he couldn't help but warn him.
This was the Qingyun Sect Saint. Getting seriously injured in a sparring match was a minor matter, but killing him would cause a huge stir.
"Gather the power of the four directions of heaven and earth, slash."
At this moment, Ye Lin slowly opened his eyes and lightly swung Evil Slayer in his hand towards Chu Yun, but it was precisely this simple sword strike that, in Chu Yun's eyes, was an irresistible blow.
"How is that possible?"
Chu Yun trembled all over. In front of him, he could clearly perceive the power of heaven and earth. At this moment, he felt as if he was not fighting Ye Lin, but fighting this heaven and earth itself.
"No."
Chu Yun screamed, and the long saber in his hand instantly shattered. His entire body also flew off the arena, and his body heavily crashed onto the ground.
"Phew, it's still too forced."
Ye Lin opened his eyes, a trace of fatigue flashing across them. With his current cultivation, it was still too forced.
Concept was something only Golden Core Stage Cultivators were qualified to touch. For him, a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, to be able to comprehend and use it was already Heaven-Defying to the extreme.
"How... how is that possible? That... that's Concept?"
Below, the previously confident Feng Shao was now trembling all over.
What did he see? A Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator being able to enter Concept? And use it? Has this world gone crazy, or has he gone crazy?
"Sword Intent... Sword Intent, my son's loss is not unwarranted."
Chu Xiao's face was full of desolation. As a Half-step Golden Core Stage expert, he instantly saw the clue within it.
Ye Lin was currently hovering between Major Achievement Sword Realm and Sword Intent. Although he hadn't fully comprehended Sword Intent, he could already initially use it.
To fully comprehend it was only a matter of time.
