The Almighty Sword Domain

Outside Field Rankings

Yang Ye and Elder Qian walked side by side. Although it was already night, but under the illumination of the Moonlight Stones around it, the training ground became as bright as day.

Suddenly, Elder Qian stopped and looked towards Yang Ye before he said, "Yang Ye, did you ever feel any hatred towards me when I demoted you to become a Labor Disciple that day?"

Yang Ye shook his head and said, “Elder Qian, if not for you, then my little sister and mother might have already fallen into the hands of the Liu Clan. I do have hatred in my heart, but it is only for myself. At that time, I did not live up to Elder Qian's expectations and caused Elder Qian to be ridiculed by others like I had experienced. I'm the one who let down elder Qian!”

Yang Ye would never forget the scene of the Outer Court Elders mocking him and Elder Qian. When he was unable to become the Profound even after a year, those Outer Court Elders and Outer Court Disciples had given him the nickname that was 'echo'. Moreover, they even ridiculed Elder Qian by calling him old, unable to see well, and said he brought back a piece of trash for the Sword Sect.

It could be said that he was the laughingstock among the Outer Court Disciples, and because of him, elder Qian became the laughingstock among the Outer Court Elders.

When he heard Yang Ye, Elder Qian patted Yang Ye on the shoulder and said, “Alright, all of that has already passed, and you don't have to fuss about it. I never imagined that you would actually have the Profound Energy of the five elements, and it would even be the Golden Element Profound Energy. Come on, let's head for the Outer Plateau Peak now. I intend to restore your status as an Outer Court Pupil. Let me see who dares to call you trash now!”

Rubbish now!”

“Older Qian, I want to participate in the Outer Court Exam held a month from now. I will use my strength to tell them that I am not trash, and Elder Qian's perception is the best in the Sword Sect! Yang Ye looked at Elder Qian as he spoke very seriously. If he really possessed the Profound Energy of the five elements, then he might actually follow Elder Qian to the Peak of the Outer Plateau. But the problem was, did he possess the golden element of Profound Energy? He did not want others to know the secret of that little vortex!

Elder Qian was stunned when he heard this, and then he started laughing before saying, "Good, good, you have ambition."

The Sword Sect had two methods to recruit Outer Court Disciples. The first method was that the Outer Court Elders could recruit three disciples at will because all the Outer Court Elders had a quota of three Outer Court Disciples. The second method is the Outside Court Exam. This was the normal method that the Sword Sect used to recruit disciples, and anyone who had reached the sixth rank of the Mortal Realm before the age of 17 had the qualifications to participate in this examination.

The strength and status of the Outer Court Disciple chosen from the Outer Court Examination was superior to that of the Outer Court Disciple recruited by the Outer Court Elder because the exam was so rigorous. Not only must one possess great strength, one must also possess great comprehension ability and natural talent.

It could be said that the former took the back door while the latter became an Outer Court Disciple by relying on his own strength. Thus, the status of the former was much lower than the latter in the Sword Sect.

Elder Qian thought for a moment and then took out a small pouch from his pocket. He gave it to Yang Ye and said, “It's great that you have ambitions. There are 10 Energy Stones and Meridian Shield Pills here. The Energy Stone will allow you to absorb Profound Energy quickly, whereas the Meridian Shield Pill can protect your meridians from injury.

As he stared at the small pouch, Yang Ye hesitated before accepting it and said seriously, “Elder Qian, don't worry. I definitely won't let you down this time.” He did not reject Elder Qian's goodwill because he did indeed need cultivation resources right now. Otherwise, with his current cultivation speed, it would definitely be impossible for him to reach the sixth rank of the Mortal Realm before he turned 17.

Elder Qian smiled as he nodded, and then he said, “I believe that the cultivation speed of someone who possesses the Profound Energy of the five elements is very fast. I don't know what the problems in your body were in the past, but there doesn't seem to be any more problems now. Cultivate properly and strive to obtain the top 10 positions in the Outer Court Examination and allow those old fellows to see who the real trash is! As he finished speaking, Elder Qian's voice carried a trace of anger. Even though he had a good temper, when he thought about the appearance of the Outer Court Elders at that moment, he was still a little angry.

"first position 10?" Yang Ye spoke in a low voice.

"What's? You're not sure of your ability to get it? Elder Qian spoke with a smile.

Yang Ye shook his head. How could he not be confident? The target was not to become an Outer Court Disciple, and the real target was to become an Inner Court Disciple. In the past, he did not dare to have such overwhelming hopes of becoming an Inner Palace Disciple, but now he had a mysterious little vortex in his dantian and coupled with his own hard work, he had no hope of becoming a disciple, he believed that he could definitely become an Inner Court Disciple. Of course, I must first become an Outer Court Disciple before she has the qualifications to participate in the Inner Court Examination!

Yang Ye pondered deeply for a moment, and then he said, "Elder Qian, there's something I want to ask you!"

"What's that?" Elder Qian spoke with curiosity.

Yang Ye told Elder Qian about the Liu Clan of Southpeace City targeting his younger sister. Originally, he had intended to rely on his own ability to deal with the Liu Clan, yet now, his strength was still insufficient, and he still needed some time. So, he could only entrust Elder Qian to take care of him.

Elder Qian was silent for a moment when he heard Yang Ye, and then he said, “If I'm not mistaken, Liu Qingyu who recently joined the Outer Court is a disciple of the Liu Clan, who is not wrong, and that is the reason why the Liu Clan dared to ignore my warnings from that day on and started targeting your family again!”

"Liu Qing Yu?"

When he heard Yang Ye repeat this name, Elder Qian's expression became a little serious, and he said, “He was a disciple of the Liu Clan who had recently become an Outer Court Disciple after reaching the third position in the Outer Court Exam. After cultivating for one month, he was ranked 29th in the Outer Court Rankings. Supposedly, some Inner Palace Elders had already started to notice him.”

“29 years in Outer Court Rankings?” Yang Ye's expression also became serious.

“Do not worry, I will travel to Southpeace City!” Elder Qian said, That “Liu Qingyu is still not an Inner Palace Disciple right now, and the Liu Clan will still give me face. However, if that Liu Qingyu passed the Inner Court Exam held within three months from now to become an Inner Court Disciple, then at that time, the Liu Clan might not be afraid at all.

Yang Ye bowed to Elder Qian when he heard this, and he said, "Thank you, Elder Qian." Yang Ye knew that once Liu Qingyu became an Inner Court Disciple, then the status of an Outer Court Elder was simply not enough to restrain him at all. At that time, with the Inner Palace Disciple's cultivation resources, Liu Qingyu's strength would definitely increase even faster, though, whereas the Liu Clan would definitely act in an even more unrestrained manner in Southpeace City!

If he wanted to make the Liu Clan feel fear, then he should have a more formidable strength and identity than Liu Qingyu. In other words, he only had three months now. If he was unable to surpass Liu Qingyu within three months, then the situation of his mother and younger sister would be dangerous.

“Nak, since Liu Qingyu was able to rise to the 29th position of the Outer Court Rankings, it showed that he had become an expert of the First Heaven Realm. You have to work hard, otherwise, not to mention protecting your family, even protecting your own life will be a problem.” Elder Qian spoke in a low voice.

A First Heaven Realm expert!

Disciple Yang Ye frowned as she clenched her fists tightly. It was common knowledge that the realm under the First Heaven Realm was the Mortal Realm. The Mortal Realm was divided into the first to ninth rank, and the First Heaven Realm after the ninth rank of the Mortal Realm. There was a huge gap between the experts in the Mortal Realm and the First Heaven Realm because even if everything else was ignored, it was not, The First Heaven Profound Energy Barrier possessed by experts in the First Heaven Realm was not something that experts in the Mortal Realm could do!

“First Heaven Nature, huh? Looks like I have to work even harder!” Yang Ye clenched his fists tightly while showing a stern expression.

Elder Qian nodded with a smile as he saw Yang Ye was not afraid of the First Heaven Realm. Other than Yang Ye's loyalty to her loved ones, the reason she gave one of the three places she had to Yang Ye was due to Yang Ye's assertive nature. On the road to Martial Dao, other than great natural talent, it required a nature and disposition like Yang Ye.

After he said goodbye to Elder Qian, it was already late at night. Yang Ye did not continue cultivating in the Cool Breeze Gorge, and he returned to his own room before taking the Five Elements Talisman Marking Technique and studying it. If he could make a talisman, then it would definitely be of great help to his strength. After all, the effect of the talisman was incredible.

As he looked through the introduction of those talismans in the Five Elements Talisman Marking Technique, Yang Ye felt increasingly surprised the more he read because the effects of some talismans were really too great.

For example, a talisman called a Spirit Gathering Amulet was actually able to make others absorb Profound Energy quickly. Even though it only lasted for four hours, it was already quite incredible. There was also a type of Strength Talisman that was able to make one's strength double several times over two hours. In addition, there are many others as well….

After taking a look around for a while, Yang Ye was finally unable to contain himself, and he decided to make a talisman. He did not choose that difficult talisman, and he instead chose the Strength Talisman.

His way of thinking was good, but only when he started did Yang Ye realize that making talismans was much more difficult than he had imagined. However, Yang Ye did not despair, and he tried again and again.

In the next few days, because of Elder Qian, the new Manager of the Peak Workforce acted very wisely and did not share any work with Yang Ye. So, Yang Ye had more time, and every day, he was cultivating bitterly in Cool Breeze Gore or studying talisman marking techniques.

On this day, when Yang Ye was studying the Five Elements Talisman Marking Technique in his room, a Labor Disciple arrived at Yang Ye's room. This Labour disciple had a serious expression and said, "Sister Yang, there is something I must tell you!"

"What's that?" Yang Ye was confused because he did not know this person at all. Although Du Xiu and the others were eliminated because he and this Labour Disciple were usually very polite to him, he did not have any relationship with this Labour Disciple.

When he heard Yang Ye, the Labor Disciple hesitated for a moment before he said, "Sister Yang, Du Xiu's cousin seems like he will return."

Because of Yang Ye, everyone inside the Labour Peak no longer suffered from Du Xiu's oppression. So, all of these Labor Pupils had a good impression of Yang Ye, and they did not expect Yang Ye to have an accident.

"Cousin brother Du Xiu?" Yang Ye frowned. He knew that Du Xiu's cousin's brother was an Outer Court Disciple. Could it be that he intends to come look for trouble with me?

The Labour disciple nodded and said, “Sister Yang, the others asked me to tell you that cousin Du Xiu should already be an expert in the eighth rank of the Mortal Realm. After he returned, if he found out that Du Xiu and the others were sent to Star Ore Mountain because of you, then he would definitely look for trouble with you. You have to prepare yourself mentally!”

"Eighth rank of the Mortal Realm?" Yang Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, and he pondered deeply for a moment. After which, he pulled out 50 gold coins and gave them to the Labour Disciple before him and said, “Thank you for all your good intentions. I'll be careful. This is 50 gold coins. Don't reject it and accept it. If there is any other important information next time, then you can tell me about it!

There were several thousand disciples on the Labor Peak, and they were scattered around the mountain. So, they can hear a lot of things every day. It could be said that this Labor Disciple had a large amount of information, and if they were to be his eyes and ears, then it would definitely help him greatly.

After he received 50 gold coins, The Labour Student said happily, “Don't worry Big Brother Yang, if there is any future related news or any important information, please, we will definitely let you know as soon as possible. !” As soon as he finished speaking, he left the room.

Yang Ye's eyes narrowed after he saw the Labour Disciple leaving the room, and he said in a low voice, “Eighth rank of the Mortal Realm. I am only at the fourth rank of the Mortal Realm now. Looks like I have to keep working hard!”
