Chapter 2040 - Get Lost! (2)

　　Li Daoyang caressed his messy hair and smiled in disdain, “First? Isn’t that too boring? Master, who was first on the Sword a.s.sembly twenty or a hundred years ago? Master, your eyesight is too low, in my opinion. I bet master didn’t obtain first or even the top three when you were young, right? After all, the Radiant Sword Saint was first at that time.”

　　Ye Qianyu’s cheeks twitched, but he suppressed his anger, waiting for Li Daoyang to finish his sentence.

　　“I have been first since I was young, and I’m already bored with it. So there’s no interest in becoming first. Master, what do you think?” Li Daoyang smiled.

　　Ye Qianyu knocked Li Daoyang’s head and furiously said, “Being c.o.c.ky in front of me? Speak properly!”

　　“Let me finish before you try to beat me. Becoming first is really nothing interesting…” Li Daoyang chuckled.

　　“Are you trying to anger me on purpose?” Ye Qianyu questioned.

　　Li Daoyang dodged his master’s attack and smiled, “I’m not trying to anger you on purpose. I only want to say that becoming first is nothing. After all, there have been countless firsts over the past three millennia, but everyone only remembers the Nine Emperors. If the Radiant Sword Saint can’t endure this tribulation, even someone like him will be forgotten over time.”

　　Ye Qianyu sighed upon hearing that because he knew it was true.readnovelfull.me

　　Li Daoyang continued, “So it’s boring to bet if he’ll become first. I bet he’ll make the Eastern Desolation’s sword dao rise, and he will be remembered even after a thousand years!”

　　Ye Qianyu sighed and looked at Ye Qingtian. He then said, “Your evaluation of him is too high.”

　　“We’ll just have to wait and see if my evaluation of him is too high. Maybe my evaluation of him was still too low,” Li Daoyang said.

　　Ye Qianyu no longer dwelled on that. He had another reason why he asked Li Daoyang to observe Ye Qingtian. He asked, “Are you sure about him?”

　　Li Daoyang dropped his smile and said with a grave expression, “Yeah. If I die, let him take over as the sect master if he’s willing to bear the heavenly dao on his shoulders. Either way, we can’t allow those traitors to take over, and it’s about time to deal with them. But I can’t confirm Ye Qingtian’s ident.i.ty, and I’m not sure if he’s the same Ye Qingtian as before.”

　　Li Daoyang and Ye Qianyu were discussing the position of Heavenly Dao Sect’s sect master. Only those who have managed to bear the heavenly dao on their shoulders could last long.

　　Historically, the Heavenly Dao Sect’s sect master only had two outcomes. Their names were either spread throughout the Kunlun Realm or died without even knowing how they died.

　　Li Daoyang wanted to become the sect master and recollect the separated Heavenly Dao Sect. But he didn’t dare say he could bear the heavenly dao, so he found a replacement. Li Daoyang thought that Ye Qingtian could become a replacement if he failed, but the only problem was Ye Qingtian’s ident.i.ty.

　　“I’m not concerned about that,” Ye Qianyu said confidently. He continued, “He has a deep relations.h.i.+p with three Great Saints, Heavenly Jade, Serene Dust, and Dragon Origin. According to how they treated him, they must know him well. Most importantly, Ye Qinghong, Xiao Jingyan, and Zhang Kui mysteriously disappeared within the Myriad Graves Valley not long ago. Everyone suspects that they were killed by Ye Qingtian, it’s just that no one has any evidence to prove it.”

　　Hearing that, Li Daoyang smiled, “That’s fine, then. Mhm? Why is his sword intent becoming stronger? Don’t tell me he will make a breakthrough to greater mastery?!”

　　Ye Qianyu also sensed it and exclaimed in surprise, “Astral Sword Intent at greater mastery. Making a breakthrough is difficult, so how did he do it? Was a Nine-Colored Heavenly Cloud Fruit enough? How is that possible?”
