Chapter 48: Your Mother Is Very Gentle!

 

After a moment, he waved his hand, and the physical manifestation disappeared. He looked at the earth beneath him. Standing on the ground, the power of the earth veins was limitless, but what if he wasn’t standing on the ground?

With this thought, he slowly rose into the air and gradually closed his eyes. He began to use his spiritual power to extend deep into the earth… After a moment, the ground began to shake violently, and streams of earth vein power continuously surged from the depths.

Ye Tianming’s lips curled into a slight smile. Indeed, it was possible. As long as his spiritual power was strong enough, he could mobilize the earth vein power without standing on the ground.

He stopped and dusted off his hands. Just as he was about to leave, suddenly, several whooshing sounds came from the distance. Then, a group of people rushed out from the dense forest in the distance. Everyone who came had a small ‘Xiao’ character on their chest.

Upon seeing Ye Tianming, the black-clothed man in the lead immediately sneered, “Bastard, you really didn’t dare to leave.”

A Xiao family disciple beside the black-clothed man said in a deep voice, “Brother Xiao Lin, should we notify Brother Xiao Lin and the others?”

“No need!”

Xiao Lin said disdainfully, “He’s merely at the Great Catastrophe Realm, while I am at the Immortal Realm, several levels higher than him. He…”

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Tianming suddenly disappeared from his spot in the distance and charged directly at him. At the same time, a nearly three-hundred-zhang earth manifestation instantly condensed behind Ye Tianming. Before Xiao Lin could react, he only felt as if a mountain had crashed into him fiercely.

Boom!

With a thunderous sound, Xiao Lin was instantly pulverized, and the Xiao family disciples beside him were also instantly shattered.

Ye Tianming stopped and glanced indifferently at the pulverized Xiao Lin in the distance. “What level of trash dares to speak to me like that!”

As he spoke, he waved his right hand and collected all their storage rings.

Little Tower: “……”

Ye Tianming slowly clenched his right hand. He could feel that his current limit wasn’t the three-hundred-zhang manifestation, because the earth vein power was limitless. Now, the urgent task was to improve his own realm.

As if thinking of something, he suddenly asked, “Tower Ancestor, in your eyes, I should still be considered a novice, right?”

Little Tower laughed, “How could that be? You just instantly killed a Divine Realm expert. In that moment, your aura was no less than any powerful expert in this world.”

Ye Tianming said softly, “Aura… Tower Ancestor, I understand your meaning. For a martial artist, aura is very important. In that moment just now, I indeed had an aura of looking down on the world, and this aura can greatly enhance my strength, but…”

Saying this, he paused, then continued, “Aura comes from confidence, and many times, confidence can turn into arrogance. There needs to be a balance between them… Tower Ancestor, is this what you wanted to tell me?”

After a moment of silence, Little Tower said, “Hmm, your comprehension is very good, to understand what I meant.”

Ye Tianming smiled. After pondering for a moment, he said, “Tower Ancestor, I feel that everything needs to have a measure.”

Little Tower spoke, “Continue… Let me see how many layers you understand.”

Ye Tianming said solemnly, “Without measure, the world would lose balance and might go to extremes. Measure is a kind of boundary, a kind of norm… In other words, anything and anyone in this world needs constraints. Once there are no constraints, it might go to extremes and bring destruction. I should also set a measure for my sword technique, no, for my Dao, not just my sword technique. To constrain this world and give it a measure, one must first constrain oneself and have a measure for oneself…”

Little Tower fell silent.

In fact, before this, it thought it wouldn’t be surprised by any talent this little fellow displayed, because of his identity… But at this moment, after hearing Ye Tianming’s words, it was still somewhat shocked.

Of course, it quickly understood. After all, this person was her

Ye Tianming suddenly asked, “Tower Ancestor… am I right?”

Little Tower said, “Your idea is correct, exactly what I was thinking. You… continue.”

Ye Tianming thought for a moment, then said, “Those words were just temporary thoughts, because one must reach a certain peak before having the right to talk about balance. Since I haven’t reached the peak yet, how can I talk about constraints? Therefore, what I need to do now is to improve my strength. However, this ideal can be placed high, and I can gradually move towards it step by step in the future!”

Little Tower said, “Hmm, it’s rare that you understand my good intentions.”

Ye Tianming grinned, then said, “It’s fortunate to have your guidance, Tower Ancestor, which helps me avoid detours on the path of cultivation. Tower Ancestor, I will take care of you in your old age, really.”

Little Tower laughed heartily, “Good, good, good…”

Ye Tianming suddenly asked, “Tower Ancestor, what kind of person is my mother?”

Little Tower thought for a moment, then said, “A very gentle person.”

Path Sword: “……”

Ye Tianming smiled and didn’t ask anything more, because he knew that even if he asked, Tower Ancestor wouldn’t tell him now.

Ye Tianming looked at the pile of corpses in the distance. He knew that Xiao Lin’s strength was actually not weak, but the other party had underestimated him. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy for him to kill the other party.

Don’t be careless or underestimate others. If you strike, you must do so with all your might!

Ye Tianming withdrew his thoughts and looked at the storage rings. Inside the rings, there were over ninety thousand spirit crystals. Seeing so many spirit crystals, he couldn’t help but sigh, “These family disciples are really rich.”

Over ninety thousand spirit crystals was undoubtedly a super huge sum for him.

After collecting all the storage rings, he looked around the sky. He knew he had to return to the academy quickly. Only at the academy would he be safe, because the Xiao family would definitely know about these people’s deaths soon, and once they knew, they wouldn’t let it go.

With this thought, he mounted his sword and disappeared into the horizon.

Soon, he left the transcendent secret realm and came outside. After coming outside, he didn’t fly on his sword but came directly to the ground and quietly walked the mountain path.

Flying on a sword in the sky was too conspicuous and could easily be discovered by the Xiao family. Therefore, walking the mountain path was much safer.

Along the way, Ye Tianming was extremely vigilant, because he knew very well that the Xiao family would definitely not miss this opportunity to eliminate him.

Although he was walking the mountain path, he was now a martial artist, so his speed was not slow at all. Soon, he arrived at a Celestial Treasure Pavilion. He disguised himself and wore an old robe. Now, he looked very different from before.

After entering the Celestial Treasure Pavilion, he immediately bought a teleportation array to the Central Divine Continent. During this process, nothing unusual happened, because this place was very far from the Guanxuan Realm, and he, Ye Tianming, was not so famous here.

After boarding the teleportation array and seeing that there was still no incident, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Soon, he returned to the Central Divine Continent through the teleportation array.

The first thing he did upon returning to the Central Divine Continent was to head straight for the Guanxuan Academy. He still didn’t fly on his sword but walked the mountain path. Soon, he saw the Guanxuan Academy.

It was within reach!

He finally breathed a sigh of relief!

But just as he reached the foot of the Guanxuan Academy mountain, suddenly, a voice slowly came from the side, “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

Ye Tianming stopped and slowly turned to look. Not far away, a man was sitting there. He was in his twenties, wearing a thick black robe, holding a sheathed long sword in his hand. He stared at Ye Tianming, “Do you know why I’m waiting for you here?”

Ye Tianming looked at him without speaking.

The man grinned, “Because our Xiao family wants to kill you right in front of Song Shi and your useless teacher!”
