Primordial Divine Emperor-Chapter 72 - 65: Double Talent, Peerless Demon Fiend
Mo Shiyi suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with shock as he looked around, disbelief written all over his face.
"Is this... the Power of Heaven and Earth Attributes?"
The Power of Heaven and Earth Attributes is unlike the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi; those who cannot sense the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth naturally also cannot sense its depletion.
However, the Power of Heaven and Earth Attributes is different. These kinds of powers are perpetually spread throughout the world, and when in balance, their presence is almost imperceptible.
Once this balance is disrupted by someone, cultivators can immediately sense it, and even ordinary people might have some awareness of it.
Ye Xiaofan sat cross-legged.
Suddenly.
Boom——!!!
At the foot of the South Peak, the Power of Heaven and Earth Attributes, originally in a state of balance, abruptly became agitated.
They were like a deathly still surface of water struck by a stone from above, a single stone setting off a thousand waves.
Countless terrifying forces suddenly awakened, as if summoned, setting off a chain reaction everywhere.
And once this power becomes agitated, the nearby cultivators can all sense it.
At this moment, Ye Xiaofan also sensed the existence of the Power of Heaven and Earth Attributes, his entire being overwhelmed by shock, his heart surging with towering waves.
The moment he followed the Array Peak method to sense the Power of Heaven and Earth Attributes and began circulating his heart method, he immediately felt the surroundings were terrifying beyond measure. In this world, the endless Power of Attributes was infinitely vast, like an ocean, a starry universe, boundless and inexhaustible.
They had always enveloped this world, thick and unimaginable, making all other forces in the world appear insignificant in their presence.
These powers were truly enough to destroy the world, shatter heaven and earth, only lacking offensive ability themselves.
Amidst the endless Power of Heaven and Earth Attributes, Ye Xiaofan was shaken by the vast and substantial Power of the Earth.
The Power of the Earth, also known as the Power of Earth, was vast beyond sight, seemingly capable of crushing mountains and rivers, billions of territories. Wherever there is earth, there is the Power of Earth.
This type of power is often utilized in Defense Arrays, and at this moment, Ye Xiaofan could also sense that the ’Array of Vast Heaven’, one of the top ten Defense Arrays of the Divine Sword Sect, continually absorbed the Power of Earth Attributes.
And the so-called Power of Attributes is far from what Ye Xiaofan imagined, not just limited to divisions like ’metal, wood, water, fire, earth’; these powers number so many they cannot be counted.
The Power of Earth, Power of Mountains and Rivers, Power of the Sea, Power of Hurricanes, Power of Earth Fire, Power of Celestial Ice, Power of the Snow Field, Power of Wood, Power of Metal, Power of Water... everything imaginable is present.
Each kind of Attribute Power was unimaginably vast, omnipresent, existing everywhere.
In an instant, dozens of types of Power of Heaven and Earth Attributes at the foot of the South Peak were ’awakened’, causing the world to seem as if it were boiling.
"Heavens, it’s really the Power of Heaven and Earth Attributes, this... how is this possible?" Mo Shiyi stood there, dumbfounded, staring blankly at the fluctuating endless Power of Heaven and Earth Attributes around him, his breathing rapid, mouth dry.
He first stared dazedly at the surroundings, then at the cross-legged Ye Xiaofan, too astonished to speak.
It was apparent that this vast Power of Heaven and Earth Attributes, like an ocean, was sensed by the figure sitting cross-legged. Mo Shiyi even found it hard to count how many types of Attribute Power there were at that moment.
As Mo Shiyi stood motionless, seemingly petrified.
On the peak of South Peak.
Dugu Nan and Qi Yun, who were deducing a chess game in the small courtyard, sensed it as well, both looking down the peak, their eyes filled with astonishment.
The two exchanged a glance and then vanished from their spot, reappearing in the next instant at the foot of the South Peak, beside Mo Shiyi.
Dugu Nan and Qi Yun stared, dumbfounded, at Ye Xiaofan, who sat cross-legged, and the vast and boundless Power of Heaven and Earth Attributes around him, the astonishment in their pupils transforming into endless shock.
Earlier at the peak of South Peak, they had only sensed a slight fluctuation of power, but stepping into this world now, their expressions changed repeatedly.
"Such a dense Power of Heaven and Earth Attributes, is this what this brat sensed?" Qi Yun’s astonishment was far more intense than ever, more than tenfold.
Even the First Generation Sword Saint Dugu Nan showed unprecedented shock, staring fixedly at the figure of Ye Xiaofan.
Mo Shiyi was as still as a wooden carving, unaware of the two Saints standing before him until he heard Qi Yun speak, finally reacting and bowing deeply to the two of them.
However, Qi Yun and Dugu Nan had no eyes for Mo Shiyi, their gazes entirely on Ye Xiaofan.
"A peerless genius with double talent, this brat." Dugu Nan muttered to himself, visibly excited, not even bothering to conceal his shock anymore.
The moment these words were spoken, Mo Shiyi was utterly dumbfounded.
A peerless genius with double talent.
This newly appointed junior disciple turned out to be a peerless genius with double talent, rare in tens of thousands of years.
For a moment, Mo Shiyi’s mind buzzed. A peerless genius with double talent, possessing the terrifying talents of both Sword Dao and Array Dao, this monster.
The trio of Dugu Nan, Qi Yun, and Mo Shiyi were astounded beyond words.
Ye Xiaofan also noticed the arrival of his master Dugu Nan and Qi Yun, slowly gathering his mind, withdrawing from the sensing of the Power of Heaven and Earth Attributes.
"Master, Senior Qi." Ye Xiaofan stood up and approached the two, bowing slightly in salute.
"Hahaha, hahaha, good, good job, Fan’Er, a double talent prodigy, I never thought that in my lifetime, I, Dugu Nan, would be able to receive such an exceptional monster, hahaha, hahahaha."
This was the first time since Ye Xiaofan had met the Sword Saint that he saw Dugu Nan laugh so heartily, so genuinely, so joyously.
Qi Yun, on the other hand, shook his head repeatedly: "Little monster, you truly are a little monster, what virtue did you accumulate in your past life for the heavens to favor you so much? This talent makes even a Peak Master like me a bit jealous."
Qi Yun was talking about jealousy, not admiration.
This made Ye Xiaofan somewhat suspicious, questioning whether his master and Senior Qi were teasing him.
"Is double talent really that rare?"
Ye Xiaofan posed a soul-searching question, and after he spoke, he recalled what had just happened and couldn’t help but lower his head in thought, "But it felt so simple to me, I merely ran through the heart method once, and I sensed the power of attributes in the world, it didn’t seem that hard."
Upon hearing this, all three paused.
Good kid, are you showing off?
Are you mocking us for being useless in Array Dao?
Do you believe I won’t sever ties with you right now?
Just as Dugu Nan and the others wore strange expressions, Ye Xiaofan finished speaking and, after a moment of thought, raised his somewhat determined face and genuinely looked at Dugu Nan and Qi Yun: "Master, Senior Qi, can you really not sense even a bit of the power of the heaven and earth attributes?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Nan and the others were stumped, instantly speechless.
"This ignorant child is truly infuriating." Dugu Nan immediately swept his sleeves and left.
"You brat, you really know how to hit where it hurts," Qi Yun also seemed speechless, and after speaking, transformed into a long rainbow and hurriedly followed Dugu Nan to the South Peak.
Ye Xiaofan looked at the two leaving with darkened faces, bewildered.
"Eleventh Brother, did I say something wrong?" Ye Xiaofan looked at Mo Shiyi, a bit confused, as he really thought it was simple. How could his master and the dignified Talisman Saint not sense even a bit of the heaven and earth attributes?
Upon hearing this, Mo Shiyi swallowed hard, secretly thinking that this kid was indeed showing off, and he was even doing so in front of his master and the Talisman Saint.
Even Mo Shiyi felt that Ye Xiaofan was asking for trouble just now, though he remained exceedingly shocked: "The heavens are truly unfair, why do you get all the good things, are you really the legendary Child of Destiny?"
Seeing Mo Shiyi’s expression, Ye Xiaofan realized something and finally understood, inevitably becoming worried about whether his previous words might have hurt his master and Senior Qi’s pride.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but look towards the South Peak, at Dugu Nan and Qi Yun, who were disappearing from sight.
However, at this moment.
Faintly, laughter from the two could be heard from the South Peak.
"Brother Qi, bring out the fine wine you’ve kept hidden for years, tonight we drink till we’re drunk and won’t return until then."
"That’s jade dew, the wine is incredibly potent, how about your injuries...?"
"No matter, today I’m happy, a couple of drinks won’t kill anyone, hahahahahaha."
Hearing the words from the peak, Ye Xiaofan finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned his gaze back to Mo Shiyi.
"Junior Brother Ye, I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave for now." Seeing this, Mo Shiyi swallowed hard and quickly turned to leave.
"Eleventh Brother." Seeing this, Ye Xiaofan frowned slightly.
Mo Shiyi paused upon hearing, then turned back to look at Ye Xiaofan: "Don’t worry, I know what news can be sold and what cannot, this kind of information about being a double-talent prodigy will remain a secret with me. Besides, if I did sell it, the Peak Master wouldn’t need you to speak up, he’d probably skin me alive and grind my bones to dust."
After Mo Shiyi finished speaking, he bowed to Ye Xiaofan and hurriedly left.
Ye Xiaofan felt somewhat relieved upon hearing this. If the news about the double-talent prodigy were to leak out, it would add unimaginable pressure on Sword Saint Dugu Nan. His mortal enemies among the Sword Saints would likely stop at nothing to eliminate him while still in his infancy.
Watching the hasty departure of Mo Shiyi, Ye Xiaofan shook his head helplessly; the world was still too dangerous, and having too exceptional talent wasn’t necessarily a good thing.
However, what Ye Xiaofan did not know was that the reason for Mo Shiyi’s hurriedness was not due to wanting to leave quickly.
Quite the opposite, shortly thereafter, Mo Shiyi’s figure appeared at the peak of the South Peak.
On the South Peak, Dugu Nan and Qi Yun were seated by a chessboard, silently watching the sweat-drenched Mo Shiyi. Just a moment ago, Dugu Nan had transmitted a voice message, asking him to come up alone.
"Eleventh," Dugu Nan said calmly after a while.
Upon hearing this, Mo Shiyi trembled all over, cold sweat covering his forehead as he repeatedly pledged, "Senior, rest assured, I will keep the fact that Junior Brother Ye is a double-talent prodigy to myself, and I will let it rot in my stomach, never to speak of it."
Dugu Nan seemed satisfied with this, though he took a deep breath and slowly said, "I asked you to come up, not because of that."
Mo Shiyi was taken aback; was it not because he had seen something he wasn’t supposed to...?
"I don’t understand. Please enlighten me, Senior," Mo Shiyi said, swallowing vociferously.
Dugu Nan sighed lightly upon hearing this, slowly stood up, and began pacing in the courtyard as if contemplating something.
It was clear that he was considering whether to kill or not.
