Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Barbarian God Battle Platform

For three days on Fengtian Peak, Ye Wushuang had been comprehending and refining the Star Saber Intent.

Many of his cultivation-related questions were easily resolved under the Star Elder’s guidance, benefiting Ye Wushuang immensely and helping him avoid many pitfalls.

The Star Saber Intent was as broad and profound, as mystical and unfathomable as the myriad stars in the heavens. After three days, Ye Wushuang had only managed to comprehend and refine half of the Star Saber Intent!

The other half, he had not yet managed to comprehend.

However, the true path of cultivation required a balance of tension and release. Forcing it would only be a futile effort.

Therefore, he didn’t continue trying to comprehend it. As for the remaining half of the Star Saber Intent, he was confident he would grasp it completely as long as he kept fighting and practicing his Saber Techniques.

’What others have comprehended will always belong to them!’

’If I’m going to cultivate Saber Intent, I can’t stop at just two kinds!’

’It seems that after I get back, I’ll first have to fully comprehend the Star Saber Intent. Then, I’ll find a way to merge the two and comprehend my own Invincible Saber Intent!’

Standing outside the grove, Ye Wushuang looked up at the sky, his eyes shining with unwavering determination.

After a long moment, Ye Wushuang finally looked away.

Beside him, Xiong Jiu was sizing up Ye Wushuang with surprise. He then smiled. "Congratulations. I never thought you’d become the Star Elder’s only disciple!"

Ye Wushuang turned and laughed. "Isn’t Steward Xiong also Master’s disciple? Speaking of which, I should probably call you Senior Brother."

"Hahaha!" Xiong Jiu chuckled. "I’m just a nominal disciple!"

"A nominal disciple is still a disciple, isn’t it?" Ye Wushuang smiled faintly. "You’re older than me and have been by Master’s side the longest. How about I call you Senior Brother?"

"That wouldn’t be right!" Xiong Jiu’s expression changed. Ye Wushuang was the Star Elder’s personal disciple, while he was merely a nominal one. In terms of both status and position, Ye Wushuang was his superior. How could he possibly be Ye Wushuang’s senior brother?

"I’m sure Master wouldn’t mind!" Ye Wushuang chuckled. He wanted to befriend Xiong Jiu; how could he care about status?

"Well, alright then. From now on, I’ll presume to call you Junior Brother." Xiong Jiu laughed heartily. He was a straightforward man and didn’t refuse pretentiously.

Soon, the two were talking and laughing as they left the grove and headed down Fengtian Peak.

On the mountain paths, disciples were gathered in small groups, deep in discussion.

"The Strongest Disciples on Fengtian Peak have been showing up frequently these past few days, and even the Sect’s super-geniuses have gone to the Endless Wilderness to train. What in the world is going on?"

"You don’t know? The Barbarian God Battle Platform is about to begin again!"

"That’s right, the Barbarian God Battle Platform is starting. The geniuses of all the Major Sects are coming out of seclusion. The Endless Wilderness is about to be thrown into turmoil."

"Ah, what a pity. Only the Strongest Disciples and super-geniuses are qualified to participate. The rest of us can only watch and sigh."

As he walked, the four words "Barbarian God Battle Platform" echoed in Ye Wushuang’s ears, filling him with curiosity.

He turned and asked Xiong Jiu, "Senior Brother, what is the Barbarian God Battle Platform?"

"It’s like this. The Barbarian God Battle Platform has a strong connection to the Barbarian God Race from the Ancient Era!"

Xiong Jiu glanced at the gossiping disciples in the distance and began to explain slowly.

As it turned out, the Barbarian God Race were the original inhabitants of the Grand Emperor Domain. They were born with Divine Power, possessed powerful physiques, and had terrifying Combat Power. They were also belligerent by nature, which led to the Barbarian God Race developing a custom of holding contests on a Battle Platform.

The Barbarian God Race used the Battle Platform to select their Clan Leader and their Strongest Warrior, and they used combat to strengthen their people!

Thanks to this martial culture, every member of the Barbarian God Race possessed great strength, allowing them to rule the Grand Emperor Domain for a very long time.

But later, a great cataclysm shook the world, and the Barbarian God Race suddenly vanished into the river of time, fading from the stage of history.

However, the custom of the Battle Platform was passed down!

In the Endless Wilderness, the Barbarian God Race left behind a Barbarian God Battle Platform, which holds the Supreme Treasures of the Barbarian God Race and some great fortuitous opportunities!

These Supreme Treasures and great opportunities appear once every hundred years. If a genius could obtain even one or two of them, it would be enough for them to rise up and become a mighty expert!

However, the treasures and opportunities are few, while in the Endless Wilderness, Sects and Ancient Races are numerous, and geniuses are as common as carp crossing a river—too many to count. There simply isn’t enough to go around.

Therefore, these Sects decided to continue the Barbarian God Race’s tradition of the Battle Platform. They would use combat to determine the strongest, and these victors would be able to obtain those Heaven-Defying Treasures and opportunities!

Thus, it is also called the Barbarian God War!

"The Barbarian God War is especially significant for the Strongest Disciples. Not only can they use it to make a name for themselves, but if they claim the title of Strongest Warrior, they might even receive the Barbarian God’s Blessing and have their Destiny enhanced!"

Xiong Jiu added at the end, a look of longing shining in his eyes.

’The Barbarian God Battle Platform!’

Upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang’s eyes flashed with a sharp light as he muttered to himself, "All the geniuses in the Endless Wilderness will be there? I’d really like to see that for myself."

"Junior Brother, if you want to participate, you must step up your cultivation. To enter the Barbarian God Battle Platform, you need to be at least in the True Essence Realm!" Xiong Jiu said immediately upon hearing Ye Wushuang’s muttering.

"The True Essence Realm?" Hearing this, Ye Wushuang’s brow furrowed. "Senior Brother, how much time is left until the Barbarian God Battle Platform begins?"

"There’s still one year," Xiong Jiu replied.

"One year? That’s enough!" Hearing the answer, Ye Wushuang’s frown relaxed, his gaze firm. ’In one year, I must break through to the True Essence Realm and go see the geniuses of the Endless Wilderness for myself!’

"Look, it’s Senior Brother Yunn Xiao!" Just as Ye Wushuang was lost in thought, the distant disciples’ gazes shifted to a young man.

Ye Wushuang seemed to sense it too and looked up.

From a distance, the young man had an imposing and heroic figure. His chest was broad, giving him an invincible aura, as if he could take on ten thousand enemies alone.

His eyes glittered like cold stars, and the faint, oppressive aura he exuded made others afraid to approach, allowing them only to admire him from afar.

’Yunn Xiao!’

Ye Wushuang watched with a solemn expression. This heroic young man gave him a great deal of pressure. He was strong. Extremely strong.

"He is one of the Ancient Spirit Sect’s Strongest Disciples, Yunn Xiao. His power is immense. Even at the True Essence Fifth Layer, I wouldn’t be able to withstand a single one of his moves!" Xiong Jiu’s expression was grim.

’Interesting!’

Ye Wushuang was shocked, but not discouraged. Instead, a sharp fighting spirit rose within him. The stronger the genius, the more it motivated him!

Sensing the sharp intent emanating from Ye Wushuang, Xiong Jiu was taken aback. To dare to compete with a Strongest Disciple... Ye Wushuang’s mindset truly earned his admiration!

’No wonder the Star Elder wanted to take him as a disciple!’

Xiong Jiu muttered to himself, seeing Ye Wushuang in a new light once again.

Ye Wushuang withdrew his gaze from Yunn Xiao and was about to leave when he suddenly felt a pair of eyes on him.

This gaze had perhaps been watching him for a long time.

However, his attention had been so focused on Yunn Xiao that he hadn’t noticed it until now.

When he followed the gaze, a cool, fairy-like Immortal Shadow appeared in his line of sight. Dressed in a white palace gown that fluttered gently, her lustrous black hair cascaded over her shoulders like a waterfall. With her ethereal posture and jade-like frame, she looked like an exiled Fairy, untouched by the mortal world.
