Asura Dao Palace:
Miao Miao, Mao Mao, Tai Yiqing all stood before the palace.
Beside them were six more disciples who were at the palace. These disciples were all extremely powerful, which each of them in the Transcendence Realm in strength. In particular, the man right in the middle was an extremely dominant authority – he was none other than the big senior of the Asura Dao Palace, Mu Sang.
There were a total of nine people in the palace, ten if Ye Mo was included.
With the Six Dao Tournament set to commence, they were all preparing to participate in the competition.
“Senior Qinglian, is the junior that you mentioned that frightening in power? He even managed to comprehend the Will of the Six Dao Cycle?” one of the disciples in the Second Tier of the Transcendence Realm asked in disbelief.
“Why would I lie to you?” Tai Yiqing said calmly. “He even managed to become the Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber’s disciple – his potential is limitless. I wonder if he’ll be able to rush back to compete in the Six Dao Tournament.”
“I’m extremely curious about this junior,” Mu Sang said as well. “His level of talent is something that even I’ve never seen before.”
The whole palace was talking about Ye Mo.
“Someone’s here!”
A dark shadow shuffled past, only for them to see Ye Mo appearing at the entrance of the palace. Miao Miao and company looked toward him.
“Haha, this is our junior, our tenth disciple – Ye Mo.”
Miao Miao rushed over. Without even giving Ye Mo the time to react, she pulled him over and started to introduce him. “Ye Mo, this our Third Senior – his strength is in the Fifth Tier of the Transcendence Realm, and inside his body flows the blood of the Armor Turtle, giving him an extremely strong defense. Legend has it that he’s impenetrable – even Senior Qinglian would face some difficulty if she tried to break through his line of defense.”
“This is our Big Senior, Mu Sang, the strongest disciple in the Asura Dao Palace. His strength has reached the Eighth Tier of the Transcendence Realm. He was initially a Mu Sang Tree that cultivated into human form. His Transcendence Golden Body, the Wooden Battle Bronze Man, is ranked 45th in the Transcendence Golden Body Rankings.”
“This is our Fourth Senior.”
Miao Miao introduced all six of the seniors to Ye Mo in one go as Ye Mo held his hands together toward each of them as a show of respect.
Among the six seniors before his eyes, even the weakest one was in the Second Tier of the Transcendence Realm. The strongest, Big Senior Mu Sang, was in the Eighth Realm.
Mao Mao had managed to make a successful breakthrough as well, advancing to the First Tier of the Transcendence Realm.
Among the ten disciples in the Asura Dao Palace, Ye Mo and Miao Miao were the only ones who had yet to reach the Transcendence Realm.
“Miao Miao, look at yourself – now even the Tenth Disciple has overtaken you in terms of your realm training, and you still have the time for chatter,” Seventh Senior said. “The Six Dao Tournament is in three days – are you not going to prepare for it?”
“Don’t blame me, Seventh Senior. It’s just that Junior Ye Mo’s advancement speed has been way too fast.” Miao Miao stuck her tongue out. “A month ago, he was just in the Explosive Energy Realm. Now, he’s reached the Spirit Devour Realm. Forget me, maybe even Big Senior wouldn’t be able to match that speed of advancement.”
“Now that all ten of us are here, there are only three days left before the Six Dao Tournament,” Big Senior Mu Sang said. “At the moment, I remain the Big Senior of the Asura Dao Palace, so I’ll take charge of the affairs over this tournament – are there any objections?”
“Big Senior, if you have anything you want to say, please speak your mind,” Everyone said in unison. “You’re our Big Senior and the most powerful among us. It’s only natural that you’re the one in charge of giving orders for this tournament.”
“Junior Ye Mo just joined us not long ago,” Mu Sang said gently. “While his talents are extraordinary, coupled with the fact that he’s even realized the Will of the Six Dao Cycle, he is still inexperienced – any elite fighter in the Transcendence Realm could easily prove too much for him to handle and kill him off. Hence, for this Six Dao Tournament, I propose Ye Mo not participate. Naturally, Junior Miao Miao won’t participate either. The eight of us will give it all we have, and I’m sure we will able to achieve the highest amount of points.”
Hearing that, Ye Mo frowned. While he knew that Big Senior Mu Sang was looking out for him out of kindness, how could he possibly pass up such a good opportunity to increase his training?
“Mmhmm, Big Senior is right.” Tai Yiqing nodded in agreement. “While everyone in the Asura Dao Palace is highly skilled, due to our lack in numbers, if Miao Miao and Ye Mo participate, we will be distracted trying to protect the two of them. Furthermore, based on their strength, they won’t be able to amass too many points if they try to slay the demons in the Purgatory.”
The other seniors also nodded.
“Seniors, I thank each and every one of you for your kindness. However, I definitely have to participate in this tournament as well.” Ye Mo’s tone was tough and unwavering.
“Junior Ye Mo, I understand how you’re feeling,” Mu Sang said gently. “But, in the history of this Six Dao Tournament, while we were always able to achieve high placings individually, we were unable to do so as a group. So, this time, we’re giving it our all to protect the honor of the Asura Dao Palace.”
Hearing that, Ye Mo was filled with confusion – even till now, he was still unsure what the Six Dao Tournament was actually for.
“Junior Ye Mo, this Six Dao Tournament’s not a martial battle – it’s a form of training,” Miao Miao said. “But it’s different from normal training sessions. It’s a passageway cleared by an elite in the Profound Heaven Realm that connects all the way to the space of Purgatory. All participants will be scored as they try to slay the demons. The higher caliber the demon slain, the more points they’re worth.”
Miao Miao paused before she continued, “With our Big Senior’s strength, it’s normal for him to rank top in terms of points. But the Six Dao Tournament is also competition between the Six Daos, so there’s a ranking for groups as well. All of our disciples must finish first in terms of point rankings in order to get first place as a group. But, with our numbers disadvantage, it’s extremely difficult to win first place.”
Hearing that, Ye Mo nodded as well. There were only ten of them in the Asura Dao Palace, while the other Five Dao Palaces numbered at least in the hundreds, and the Human Dao Palace had more than a thousand disciples. No matter how many points they amassed as a group, the other palaces were still going to be able to get frightening numbers due to their sheer size.
“So, that’s what the Six Dao Tournament is all about!” Ye Mo was once again delighted deep down.
All he had to do was to slay some demons, and the more demons slain, the stronger the demons slain, the higher the number of points. This represented an absolute advantage for Ye Mo. With his unlimited powers, so long as he didn’t end up encountering some god-like demons, Ye Mo would be capable of slaying his way through the tournament.
“Sigh, actually, the Human Dao Palace finishes in first place in almost every trial, Mao Mao said. “Not only do they have the numbers advantage, but Big Senior Liu Qingyun is also extremely powerful as well. Having reached the Ninth Tier of the Human Dao Realm, he’s almost at the peak of his training.”
Mao Mao walked forward as he said, “Actually, it’s not just the Human Dao Palace. The Big Seniors of the other Five Dao Palaces; Yang Kang of the Hell Dao Palace, Mi Yan of the Heavenly Dao Palace, Xiang Tong of the Beast Dao Palace are all extremely powerful, with their point tallies capable of placing them in the top ten of the rankings.”
“Junior Ye Mo, there’s another reason why I’m not allowing you two to participate,” Mu Sang said. “It’s also one of the rules of the Six Dao Tournament.”
“Oh?” Ye Mo asked curiously.
“The rule is that disciples are allowed to steal each other’s point cards,” Mu Sand said. “Once your point card is stolen, not only will you be eliminated, all of the points that you had collected will go to the opposition as well.”
