After a moment, all the disciples were out of Purgatory. The five other Dao Palaces had lost hundreds of disciples in this Six Dao Tournament, but they were weak disciples. Asura Palace’s loss was the most severe. Mu Sang, their strongest disciple, in the Transcendence Eighth Realm, was killed by an expert from the Zone of Demon.

Mu Sang’s death also resulted in the team’s rankings dropping from first to second place.

“Although the Six Dao Tournament this time around has successfully ended, because of the interference by an expert from the Zone of Demon, it resulted in the heavy loss of our disciples,” Elder Taotie said. “The Six Dao Tournament required vigilance and our opponents did not send out experts in the Profound World Realm either, so I did not let the Palace Lords go rescue the participants. But who would have thought that Mu Sang would die in Purgatory? Ah!”

Elder Taotie sighed slightly. Mu Sang was also an elder, and he was gifted. Unexpectedly, he died in Purgatory.

With Mu Sang’s strength in the Transcendence Eighth Realm, even if he was weaker against someone in the Transcendence Ninth Realm, it shouldn’t have resulted in his death.

“If I meet experts from the Zone of Demon, I will kill them,” Liu Qingyun said, but secretly laughed.

“Palace Lords, the Six Dao Tournament this time around will serve as a warning,” Elder Taotie exclaimed loudly. “Since the Zone of Demon has also created a passage to purgatory, I’m afraid they’ll target us again. You must work hard to cultivate and be well prepared for next year’s Six Dao Competition.”

“Yes, Elder Taotie!” All the disciples were unhappy as they nodded their heads.

“The next Six Dao Tournament.” Ye Mo frowned. The next time would be a year from now. A year was enough for him to grow to a terrifying level.

“All right, I will now announce the awards. For personal ranking, first place is Liu Qingyun from the Human Dao Palace, who is awarded 500,000 merit points. Second place; Mi Yan from the Heavenly Palace, who is awarded 450,000 merit points. Third place goes to Taiyi Qinglian from the Asura Palace, who is awarded 400,000 merit points. Fourth place goes to Ye Mo from the Asura Palace, who is awarded 350,000 merit points. Fifth place goes to…”

After Elder Taotie announced the individual rankings and team rankings, the merit points were rewarded to the top ten disciples. The team reward would be given out three days later. Elder Taotie would lead all the disciples from the Six Dao Palaces to the Daozhi Ocean to kill Deep Sea Demonic Beasts and gain the Origin of Dao.

The disciples of Human Dao Palace were naturally the happiest about the results; it was a rare opportunity to go to the Daozhi Ocean to kill Deep Sea Demonic Beasts. They were also given the priority to hunt. What little remained would belong to the disciples of Asura Palace. The disciples from the other Five Dao Palaces would only get their leftovers.

Asura Palace:

Dongfang Aotian sat above. The other nine disciples were dejected. Mu Sang’s death was a massive blow to the Asura Palace.

In the past, when Mu Sang was in command, Asura Palace was unafraid of the other Five Palaces and could run wild. Now that Mu Sang was dead, the strongest disciple in Asura Palace would be Taiyi Qinglian.

But Taiyi Qinglian was only in the Transcendence Sixth Realm. It would be very difficult for her to provide support when a situation occurred. The First Brothers from the other Five Palaces all had strength in the Transcendence Eighth Realm.

“Disciples, I know that you’re grieving over Mu Sang’s death, but the dead cannot come back to life,” Dongfang Aotian said. “You all need to cheer up as soon as possible. If there is a disciple who can cultivate to the Profound World Realm, then I will be very satisfied.”

“Master, you can rest assured that, although Brother Mu Sang is dead, we still have Brother Ye Mo,” the Third Brother said. “Although he is not yet a Qi Marquis, his potential is terrifying. Within a year, I think we are going to have another genius like Brother Mu Sang in the Asura Palace, maybe even more talented than Brother Mu Sang.”

“That’s right.” Mao Mao nodded. “Ye Mo has more potential than Brother Mu Sang. It won’t be long before he will be able to surpass us brothers.”

Ye Mo was just a young boy the first time Mao Mao met him. He could beat Ye Mo with one hand, but now he wouldn’t even be considered a rival against Ye Mo’s current strength.

“As the Human Dao Palace has once again won first place in the team points, are we still going to go to the Daozhi Ocean to kill Deep Sea Demonic Beasts?” Taiyi Qinglian asked.

“Now that Brother Mu Sang has fallen, they’ll ridicule us if we go,” the Fourth Brother said. “I suggest we don’t go. We won’t get much benefit anyway from taking what remains.”

“That’s right. In the past when First Brother was alive, no matter how outrageous they were, we weren’t afraid,” another disciple said. “But now that First Brother has fallen, our Asura Palace’s disciples are bound to be pushed aside by them.”

“Brothers, may I have a word?” Ye Mo said faintly.

“Brother Ye Mo, what do you want to say?” one of the Brothers asked.

“When I first came to the Asura Palace, Sister Miao Miao told me that we cannot allow others to bully us, only we can bully others.” Ye Mo stood up. “We need to defend the glory of the Asura Palace with our own hands. Brother Mu Sang fell, which led to a decline in our strength, but so what? It’s still the Asura Palace, and we’re still us. ”

Apart from Dongfang Aaotian, the other eight disciples looked at Ye Mo with shock. They were taught a lesson by such a new disciple.

“That’s right,” Mao Mao said. “Brother Ye Mo is right. If we don’t go, they’ll criticize us. Brother Mu Sang’s spirit in heaven will call us cowards.”

“I’m relieved that all of you can think like this. Ye Mo, follow me to the Inner Hall,” Dongfang Aotian said, before he entered the Inner Hall first. Ye Mo also got up and walked into the Inner Hall.

“Ye Mo, you’ve been accepted as an apprentice by the Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber,” Dongfang Aotian said. “I have nothing to teach you. I heard about your performance when you entered the Door of Desolation. Now that you’ve reached the Spirit Devour Realm, you can break through to the Transcendence Realm. What are your thoughts on the Transcendence Realm?”

“In my opinion, the way of cultivation is the process of changing one’s life against nature,” Ye Mo said. “From the basic use of Yuanli in the Spirit Cultivating Realm, to the flexible use of Yuanli in the Energy Shaping Realm, to finally the direct use of True Energy. Before all of that, you pretty much use your own strength. But, no matter how strong you cultivate, you can’t change the natural law.”

“Ye Mo, it’s rare for you to have such an understanding.” Dongfang Aotian nodded and explained the Transcendence Realm to Ye Mo, “The most important thing about the Transcendence Realm is the breakthrough of physical strength, the breakthrough of mind, and the thorough understanding of the unity of heaven and man, in order for you to comprehend the Transcendence Golden Body.”

“The mind has to have a thorough understanding of the unity of heaven and man?” Ye Mo was very confused.

“Yes!” Dongfang Aotian nodded and continued, “A person’s power is always limited. Only by thoroughly understanding the unity of heaven and man can we make use of the power of heaven. The Transcendence Realm isn’t just strong because of its Transcendence Golden Body. More importantly, it can use the spiritual Other of the world to keep the Golden Body immortal.”

“What’s different about the Transcendence Ninth Realm?” Ye Mo asked. “Master told me that it may be helpful for me when I break through every realm in the future. ”
