Tremors in the Sect

Ye Bai quickly looked over and saw a dazzling sword light soaring into the sky.

The surrounding air currents followed the flow of the sword light, instantly forming a powerful vortex of energy!

A fierce wind swept through as the sword light grew stronger!

At this moment, every disciple within the Heavenly Sword Sect, regardless of their location or activity, opened their eyes wide, rushed outside their rooms, and stared in astonishment at the brilliant sword light shooting up into the sky!

“Boom!”

When the sword light reached a certain height, it slashed through the air, leaving a deep sword mark in the sky.

Simultaneously, the clouds it struck exploded with a thunderous roar!

But it didn’t end there.

After the clouds burst, they were immediately swept away by the vortex of energy.

As the vortex spun faster and more violently, another booming sound echoed, and the vortex exploded, creating a visible shockwave that spread in a circular pattern!

“Whoosh!”

Pea-sized raindrops began to fall onto the ground of the Heavenly Sword Sect, leaving the disciples in a state of extreme shock.

“What’s happening? Could it be an enemy attack?”

“Fool, if there were enemies attacking, do you think we would be fine?”

“Exactly, I’m afraid Sect Master has already come out!”

“So, tell me, what exactly is going on?”

“Well... we don’t know, but it’s incredibly powerful and shocking. What kind of skill is this?”

“Ah, let’s focus on our cultivation. Such a realm is beyond our reach.”

At this moment, within the main peak of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Sect Master Lu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.

With a flicker of his body, he appeared in the sky the next moment.

“Great Expanses White Cloud Sword?”

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, his face revealing astonishment. He immediately headed towards the training ground.

Not only the main peak, but several figures flickered in the sky above the entire Heavenly Sword Sect.

In no time, they had all gathered at the training ground.

“What’s going on!”

“Does that look like the Floating Cloud Sword?”

“Who is practicing the heaven-ranked martial skill?”

“Could it be that someone in our sect has made a breakthrough? How delightful!”

Several elders stood on the stage, their gazes searching for the suspicious figure responsible for the commotion.

However, apart from Su Xue... there was no one else.

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes and asked, “Su Xue, did you see any other disciples here just now?”

Su Xue stood in the middle, seemingly lost in shock, unable to recover for a long time.

Of course, anyone who experienced the same thing would have a similar reaction.

But her behavior directly eliminated her as a suspect in the eyes of the elders. It was only when she heard the question that Su Xue regained her senses.

Her cheeks flushed as she said, “Sect Master, I was the only one here.”

The elders were all taken aback.

“Who caused the commotion just now?” Lu Yuan was also somewhat surprised.

Su Xue took a deep breath, a hint of joy appearing in her beautiful eyes as she said, “It was me.”

“You? That’s impossible!”

“This is absolutely impossible. How could someone at the third level of Qi Condensation cultivate a heaven-ranked skill?”

“Su Xue must be lying!”

“I don’t believe it either.”

The elders erupted into a heated discussion, but no one believed her. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to believe her, but rather that this matter was too unbelievable.

Lu Yuan’s expression suddenly became strange, as if he had thought of something. He said, “Can you demonstrate it again?”

This time, Su Xue didn’t refuse.

She took up her sword and stood in position, following the previous movements, and began circulating her inner essence.

The elders stared with eyes wide open, afraid to miss any detail.

After a while...

The elders exchanged glances, their faces filled with not just shock, but utter astonishment!

In the room, apart from the sound of gasps, no one uttered a word.

Although Su Xue had proven that the person was indeed her, the elders still found it hard to believe!

After a long while, Lu Yuan exclaimed with delight, “Su Xue, how did you comprehend the heaven-ranked Floating Cloud Sword through the White Cloud Sword?”

Elder Shuiyue smiled and said, “Su Xue’s talent is already exceptional, but I never expected that she would be able to comprehend a heaven-ranked skill this time! Truly, her talent is extraordinary.”

However, Su Xue blushed and said, “Sect Master, actually, I wasn’t the one who comprehend this heaven-ranked skill.”

“If it wasn’t you, then who was it?” Elder Shuiyue’s face reddened, unable to contain his astonishment as he asked.

The other elders also perked up their ears, wondering if it was a hermit from the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Su Xue’s gaze became complicated, and with an unusual expression, she said, “It was Ye Bai!”

“What?” Liu Shengtian’s face was filled with shock, immediately saying, “Impossible, absolutely impossible!”

Lu Yuan’s gaze flickered, and he said in a deep voice, “Su Xue, in such a significant matter, you must not deceive your superiors!”

Elder Shuiyue thought that his disciple was being considerate and said, “As your master, no matter how you comprehended this heaven-ranked skill, now that you have comprehended it, it belongs to you.”

Su Xue smiled bitterly and said, “Master, Sect Master, I’m not lying. This heaven-ranked skill was indeed taught to me by Junior Brother Ye Bai.”

“Where is he?”

This time, no one could sit still!

Even a fool knew what a disciple who could comprehend a heaven-ranked skill represented.

What’s more, the current strength of Ye Bai was only at the first level of Qi Condensation!

Whether out of curiosity or other intentions, the attention of the major elders immediately focused on finding Ye Bai’s whereabouts.

Just as Lu Yuan was about to say something, Ye Bai, who was behind the huge stone on the side of the martial arts arena, coughed slightly and walked out in confidence.

As soon as he appeared, he was immediately surrounded by several elders, their gazes burning, as if they were staring at a precious treasure, a rare gem!

Ye Bai felt a chill down his spine from being stared at, and he awkwardly smiled, saying, “Um, esteemed elders, do you have something to discuss?”

Liu Shengtian’s gaze flickered with a gleam as he asked, “Ye Bai, let me ask you, did you truly comprehend the heaven-ranked Floating Cloud Sword?”

Elder Shuiyue cautioned, “Don’t lie, we will know when we test it.”

“Well, um, actually, it was an accident.” Ye Bai’s mind raced.

He never imagined that Su Xue would cause such a commotion and attract all the important figures in the sect.

He had initially wanted to slip away, but he also knew that he couldn’t escape, so he took the initiative to come out.

Liu Shengtian sneered and questioned, “Did you secretly enter the Hidden Martial Pavilion and learn it from there?”

Ye Bai was no longer polite to Liu Shengtian.

He sneered and said, “Elder Liu, according to your logic, as long as we obtain this heaven-ranked technique, we can comprehend it and cultivate it, right?”
