NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1276: Red Horse and Yuan Lue
"Opener of the Heavens?"
When these two words appeared, Wang Ye was taken aback.
After coming to the Spirit Star, Wang Ye had read a lot of materials, so he knew what "Opener of the Heavens" meant—Guo Yi, the then Lord of the Universe, was an Opener of the Heavens.
He glanced at the person who raised this question and saw that Shadow, who had disappeared in the Boundless Realm sometime ago, had suddenly appeared by their side.
And it was Shadow who had just asked Wang Ye to open the heavens.
Yuan Mou and Yuan Lue, upon seeing Shadow suddenly appear, didn't feel much.
Although Shadow was not from their Yuanling Sect, and it was especially bad for him to come directly into the Yuanling Sect without their knowledge,
Shadow was extremely loyal to Guo Yi back then. Even though he wasn't part of the Yuanling Sect, he was somewhat like a relative to them.
"Elder Ying."
"Elder Ying."
Yuan Mou, Yuan Lue, the Sect Master of the Tianji Sect, and other sect leaders all greeted Shadow when they saw him.
Just as Wang Ye was about to follow the others in greeting, Shi Heng stopped him and said, "You don't need to call him elder."
"Huh?"
Wang Ye looked at Shi Heng in surprise.
Shi Heng proudly said to Wang Ye, "You must know, I'm much older than Shadow, and if we were to speak in terms of seniority, Shadow should be calling me elder."
"And since you're my disciple, to put it nicely, Shadow should actually consider you his elder. I'm already being kind by not making Shadow call you elder, why should you address him as elder?"
"Hmm..."
Shi Heng's words and his somewhat smug expression made Wang Ye ponder, while Shadow glanced at Shi Heng somewhat helplessly.
He didn't expect Shi Heng to have the mind to consider such things in this situation.
It's just a form of address.
"Alright, your master is right, you indeed don't need to call me elder anymore."
Shadow said to Wang Ye, then turned to Yuan Mou and asked, "Have you told Wang Ye about his past life?"
"Past life?"
Upon hearing this,
not only was Wang Ye stunned, but even Wang Yifeng and Shi Heng were stunned.
Wang Ye never thought about what his identity in a past life was.
Although Wang Ye knew that his own strength's improvement was related to Guo Yi's calculations, in Wang Ye's view, he had accidentally fallen into Guo Yi's trap, and then was directly ensnared by Guo Yi.
Unexpectedly.
The reason Guo Yi chose him was partially because Guo Yi had initially set his sights on him due to his past life.
"Not yet."
Yuan Mou shook his head.
And the elders at the entrance of the chaos, upon seeing the sudden appearance of Shadow, and this very unfamiliar youth, although not particularly powerful, seemed to have a leadership aura among these people.
Plus, the things Shadow said.
They were already somewhat bewildered.
Who is this young man?
Who was this young man in his past life?
Why does even Shadow show a respectful look when gazing at him?
Seeing that Yuan Mou hadn't told Wang Ye yet, Shadow didn't speak directly but instead left a few instructions before heading to the Star Pavilion himself.
It seemed that Shadow didn't want too many people to know Wang Ye's identity just yet.
Yuan Mou naturally guessed Shadow's thoughts and somewhat apologetically turned his gaze to the other sect masters and said:
"Friends, the issue is temporarily resolved. Please rest in our Yuanling Sect for a while, and afterward, we can discuss solutions to the Zhang Yanling issue in detail."
"Alright."
The sect masters also knew there might be issues with Wang Ye that needed resolving, which they couldn't be privy to.
They didn't pursue it further and agreed immediately.
Staying in the Yuanling Sect aligned with their intentions.
Considering Zhang Yanling's power, even the sect masters held only the Pinnacle of Harmony Realm strength, not even advancing to the Heavenly King Realm.
In such situations, if they left the Yuanling Sect and encountered Zhang Yanling, they might be overpowered instantly and become Zhang Yanling's nutrients.
After the sect masters left, Yuan Mou turned his gaze to the elders guarding the chaos entrance.
These elders had been guarding the chaos entrance for so long that they hadn't received outside news for quite some time, looking at Wang Ye with some confusion.
They didn't know Wang Ye's identity.
And Wang Ye directly had the strength of the Mid Heavenly King Realm. From his aura, he seemed far more powerful than their Sect's Saint Heir.
Yet, they had never heard of someone like this in the Spirit Star, which was very strange.
Yuan Mou spoke to them:
"This is Wang Ye, currently the Saint Heir of the Ice Sect. He joined the Ice Sect six months ago and advanced his realm from a Seventh Grade Cultivator to the Mid Heavenly King Realm in just half a year."
"Oh."
Elder Can Yue, Elder Red Horse, and the other elders all nodded upon hearing Yuan Mou's introduction.
No wonder they found him unfamiliar and didn't recognize him.
It turned out his strength rose in just half a year.
So it was understandable they hadn't heard of him.
But in the next moment.
Their pupils instantly widened.
Elder Can Yue looked at Wang Ye with shock, and Elder Red Horse couldn't help but exclaim, "In just six months, he advanced to the strength of a Heavenly King Realm expert?"
"This… this..."
What kind of exceptional talent is needed to achieve this?
Even the former Lord of the Universe, Guo Yi's advancement speed seemed slower compared to Wang Ye.
Perceiving their amazed gazes upon himself, Wang Ye felt slightly embarrassed and nodded to the elders, softly greeting them:
"I am Wang Ye."
"You... hello."
When the elders responded, they even stammered a bit.
"Yuan Lue!"
