Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 917: Fellow Daoist, Are You a Sword Cultivator?
Previously on Checking in for 100,000 Years...
Sun Ancient Domain.
A immense golden desert sprawls across the northwest frontier.
Blazing flames rage fiercely across the entire desert.
The heat in this area surpasses that of other regions in the Sun Ancient Domain.
This region is famously called the Western Desert.
The renowned Three Flames Divine Sect resides deep inside the Western Desert.
A ripple stirred in the void.
A white-robed figure materialized high above the Western Desert skies.
"Returning to the Sun Ancient Domain, it feels truly dull..."
Sensing the blistering heat in the air, Ye Yun shook his head with a smile.
He had journeyed billions of miles this time to the Sun Ancient Domain solely to track down the Sun God King.
The Sun Ancient Domain's harsh environment didn't appeal much to Ye Yun.
Deep down, he favored lush landscapes with majestic mountains and flowing rivers.
Right then.
Several young cultivators sped through the desert depths, flying in a group.
Spotting Ye Yun suspended in mid-air, they paused in shock for a moment.
"Greetings, senior!"
These True God Realm cultivators promptly displayed deference toward Ye Yun, who was at the God Sovereign Realm.
Ye Yun gave a nod, saying nothing.
"Senior, are you traveling to the Three Flames Divine Sect?"
A Fifth Layer True God Realm youth mustered courage to inquire.
Three Flames Divine Sect?
Ye Yun felt a slight jolt of recognition; the name rang a bell.
He delved into the Supreme God Sovereign's memories.
Within moments, Ye Yun uncovered details on the Three Flames Divine Sect.
This sect wielded formidable power, surpassing even the Supreme Forgetful Love Palace.
After all, the Three Flames Divine Sect boasted three half-step Divine King Realm powerhouses.
One versus three.
The Supreme God Sovereign stood no chance in victory.
Given the vast distance from the Supreme Realm to the Sun Ancient Domain, even the original Supreme God Sovereign had never visited.
Hence, scant knowledge existed in the Supreme God Sovereign's mind about the Three Flames Divine Sect.
Noting Ye Yun's silence, the young True God Realm cultivator offered a faint smile and continued: "Senior, lately, numerous mighty experts like yourself have flocked to the Three Flames Divine Sect!"
"What's the reason?"
Ye Yun's eyes gleamed as he smiled and posed the question.
The True God Realm youth looked astonished and replied: "Senior, you haven't heard? The Demonic Flame Sect Master of the Three Flames Divine Sect just advanced to the Divine King Realm! Now, the Three Flames Divine Sect ranks as a Divine King-level force, drawing many seniors like you to offer congratulations..."
"I understand."
Ye Yun nodded quietly, his face remaining utterly composed.
For him.
A trivial Divine King amounted to nothing more than an insignificant ant.
"Senior, we're off to train in another direction; farewell for now..."
The True God Realm youth cupped his fists, gave a courteous smile, then guided his group beyond Ye Yun, vanishing swiftly toward the horizon.
Ye Yun gazed into the distance.
"This Sun God King sure picks the perfect allies! What fortune, attaching himself to a Divine King-level sect..."
Ye Yun let out a casual smile.
The Sun God King proved remarkably adaptable.
By rights.
This fellow held Divine King status himself, commanding immense prestige.
Yet here he lurked inside the Three Flames Divine Sect.
The mightiest figure there, the Demonic Flame Sect Master, likely remained oblivious to such an ancient entity's presence in his midst.
Ye Yun's form blurred as he soared deeper into the desert.
The Three Flames Divine Sect lay not far ahead.
No necessity to rip open the void.
En route, crowds of cultivators hurried by in flight.
Most hailed from the God Sovereign Realm, a few from Divine Monarch Realm, with rare God King Realm masters streaking overhead.
God King Realm experts arrived with lavish fanfare.
Typically trailed by massive retinues, creating quite the spectacle.
Ye Yun dismissed such flashy antics with a mere indifferent smile.
One hundred thousand years prior.
As Cangnan Continent's top expert, Ye Yun avoided parading his might.
Now, after another hundred thousand years, having attained utter invincibility, he scorned such vanity even more.
To put it plainly.
Should he choose to show off, one gesture could strike terror across the world.
On the Ancient Road to Heaven, Ye Yun unveiled countless god-level and super god-level smoke pipes, their mere pressure shattering an elder Divine Monarch Realm cultivator.
That Ancient Road to Heaven spectacle dwarfed the current God King Realm displays.
"Not far from the Three Flames Divine Sect now..."
Ye Yun's eyes flashed as he pierced the far void, beholding a sprawling array of majestic structures rising from the sands.
Those marked the Three Flames Divine Sect.
The edifices split into three clusters, resembling roaring flames amid the crimson dunes.
Viewed from afar, they exuded grandeur and a captivating exotic allure.
"Yet another Divine King Realm force approaches..."
Ye Yun abruptly detected movement, spotting nine colossal Azure Luans charging from behind.
These nine Azure Luans possessed impressive strength, all at God Sovereign Realm, the weakest at God Respect Realm Second Layer.
Fierce glints filled their eyes, their aura domineering as they hauled a golden phoenix carriage through the skies at breakneck speed.
Faced with the nine Azure Luans' flamboyant charge, Ye Yun halted, his pupils narrowing, gaze sharpening with intensity.
Two piercing stares shot skyward like blades.
His eyes clashed violently with those of the nine Azure Luans.
The once-arrogant Azure Luans suddenly quaked under Ye Yun's stare, as if crushed by an overwhelming dread.
Panic seized the nine Azure Luans; they veered sharply, darting past Ye Yun in haste.
Ye Yun smirked triumphantly.
Had they delayed a heartbeat longer, he would have severed their heads without mercy.
"Hmm?"
A clear, melodic female voice rang out from the golden phoenix carriage.
Evidently, Ye Yun's earlier feat had caught her off guard.
With a single look, he had rattled the Dao Hearts of her nine Azure Luans, proving the white-robed youth below harbored real prowess.
"Are you a sword cultivator, fellow daoist?"
The woman inside the phoenix carriage inquired softly.
"Correct, care to spar in sword arts with me?"
Ye Yun grinned lightly, abruptly realizing he'd dashed out without his prized sword this time.
A Sword Cultivator...
Toting a blade instantly evoked the image of a dashing master.
"Bold words, friend, but alas, our Dao diverges..."
The woman replied evenly, her tone laced with detachment.
Ye Yun perceived her intent.
The phoenix carriage's occupant pegged him as mere God Sovereign Realm, beneath her notice for a duel, given her God King Realm might.
Ye Yun opened his mouth to respond.
But the woman sought to flaunt her prowess, vanishing in a flash.
The instant after.
Ye Yun watched the phoenix carriage materialize at the Three Flames Divine Sect's mountain gate.
"Just petty sleight of hand!"
Ye Yun chuckled softly and blinked out of sight himself.
Beyond the towering mountain gate of the Three Flames Divine Sect stretched a broad golden plaza.
The nine Azure Luans touched down, and a breathtaking golden-robed beauty stepped from the phoenix carriage.
Her raven hair cascaded like clouds, skin pale as fresh snow, features flawlessly sculpted, curves elegantly poised, every gesture radiating regal authority.
"Hmm?"
A flicker of astonishment crossed the golden-robed woman's visage.
There, standing silently ahead, loomed the familiar white-robed silhouette.
Ye Yun, sword in hand, pivoted, lips curving into a grin that bared perfect white teeth.
"Young miss, with the Three Flames Divine Sect's grand event nearing, why not proceed together?"
