An old secret resurfaced clearly in everyone’s minds.

In the Hidden Sect Realm, there are countless sects, categorized into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow based on their strength.

The Ye Family of that era was an Earth-level Sect, and even won the championship in the Earth-level Sect Tournament!

However, there was conflict with an elder of a Heaven-level Sect, who opposed the Ye Family’s promotion to a Heaven-level Sect.

Later, during a treasure hunt involving several Earth-level sects, the Ye Family obtained a Sacred World Seed, only for the elder to learn of it. He deceitfully collaborated with other sects to target the Ye Family.

The Ye Family’s elites suffered heavy losses, their strength plummeted, and they were expelled from the Hidden Sect. The descendants of the Ye Family eventually settled in Tianjing.

"It’s a member of the Ye Family, no wonder they’re so arrogant."

"What of the Ye Family? They are no longer an Earth-level Sect in the Hidden Sect. Now they’re just a minor clan in the Mortal World."

"Indeed, such a small clan dares to boast against our Yellow Level Sect, seeking death it seems!"

Everyone composed themselves and scoffed openly.

"I’ve heard that after consuming the World Seed, a descendant could become an unprecedented powerhouse. Could Ye Xiaoyao be it?" Black Demon asked.

"Absolutely not." A Hidden Sect Esoteric Sect representative stated.

The audience showed interest as the representative spoke.

"Ah, it’s Mr. Feng Chu, disciple of Mud Bodhisattva, he must be very credible," someone commented.

"Mud Bodhisattva knows five hundred years prior and five hundred generations ahead, whether in the Hidden Sect or Mortal World, there’s nothing he doesn’t know. His disciples can divine and are adept in I-Ching, mastering eternal heaven and earth!"

Someone echoed in agreement.

"We would like to hear Mr. Feng Chu’s insights." Black Demon spoke.

"A couple of days ago, I found the Great Reincarnation Disc of the Esoteric Sect dropped in the Mortal World was damaged. Upon thorough investigation, I uncovered that it was caused by a former disciple of the Esoteric Sect who attempted to activate the Reincarnation Disc by force."

"That disciple named Sai Zhuge made mistakes early on and was expelled from the Esoteric Sect. Now he has connections with the Ye Family in Hai City."

"I happened to investigate the Ye Family’s background, and I’m very familiar with it."

"Ye Xiaoyao is currently ranked fourth on the War God List. He headed to Hai City due to the kidnapping of his woman and mother."

"I examined his body with the Divine Technique from the Esoteric Sect. Other than a decent talent, there are no abnormalities, and his blood contains not a trace of World Seed genes."

"Had he been the Ye Family’s unprecedented descendant, he wouldn’t have been expelled from the Ye Family as a child due to an Abandoned Celestial Destiny. Furthermore, when he was born, even the mysterious organization sent people to verify, and had he been, he wouldn’t be causing trouble in the Mortal World!"

"Lastly, the Ye Family’s Grand Array still exists. Although he broke the outer layer, he is unaware that every Ye Family member carries a small array!"

"Therefore, I determine that the Ye Family’s unprecedented descendant hasn’t been born, otherwise considering the mysterious organization’s nature, it would certainly stir waves across the Seven Great Worlds of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands!"

"Now the Seven Great Worlds are in peace, so the mysterious organization hasn’t obtained the Ye Family’s unprecedented descendant."

Feng Chu said.

"Given this, we will prepare and head to Hai City in the next two days to kill Ye Xiaoyao!"

Young Master Shen stated.

"The academy has matters to tend to, you handle such trifles." The Goddess flew away.

Finally, the Yellow-Level Sect Race decided to send three individuals to kill Ye Xiaoyao.

The Divine Sword Realm sends one, the Poison Sect sends another, and the Esoteric Sect sends one.

The Poison Sect aims to kill White Demon, and the Esoteric Sect seeks to kill Sai Zhuge.

The Divine Sword Realm, being the organizer and having enmity with Ye Xiaoyao, naturally joins the battle.

Hai City, Sai Zhuge’s residence.

While Ye Qingtian was meditating, a voice suddenly resounded in his mind.

"Ye Xiaoyao, your woman and mother are in my grasp. To save them, participate in the Genius Tournament hosted by Dragon Soul."

"I’ll defeat you before all geniuses, leaving you in eternal damnation!"

The voice belonged to Qin Lingtian.

Ye Qingtian furrowed his brow, realizing it was as he suspected, Qin Lingtian was behind everything!

The next day, as the East just began to lighten, the vast forest outside Hai City was already teeming with people.

Hai City is too small, with countless powerful individuals, thus the Genius Tournament can only be held in the expansive forest outside the city.

The forest is vast, spanning about tens of kilometers.

Within the forest, a sea of people crowded the area.

With Dragon Soul’s initiative and assistance, the forest’s periphery became a viewing area capable of accommodating tens of thousands.

A kilometer from the periphery is the martial arena!

Within the martial arena, hundreds of martial competition platforms rose splendidly, large and solid.

Approximately ten thousand registered participants for the Genius Tournament, including talents from other Southeast Asian countries aside from Hai City, like talents from the Golden Triangle.

At this moment, Ye Qingtian’s silhouette appeared at the tournament site.

With him were Xiao Jianting, Shen Huamo, Da Huang, White Demon, and Sai Zhuge.

Ye Qingtian, now aware of the kidnappers’ identities, had summoned Xiao Jianting and the others.

"Everyone look, what’s in the sky?"

A person pointed at the sky, shouting excitedly!

Everyone lifted their heads, inhaling sharply upon seeing the spectacle in the sky.

In the sky, a figure surrounded by dark aura stepped through the air.

The black figure, stepping on a huge stone, emitted a whistling sound with each step in the sky.

"Who is he?"

"Hai City’s number one, Prison Lord Qin!"

"No, it’s not the Prison Lord Qin, it’s his avatar!"

"Is even his avatar this formidable? How transcendent must the real body be?"

The crowd murmured in speculation.

"Ye Xiaoyao, come out and meet your end!" Qin Lingtian bellowed.

Then the huge stone beneath him slammed onto the ground, forming a massive martial competition platform.

Ye Qingtian glanced at Qin Lingtian, slightly wrinkling his brow.

Unexpectedly, his strength had grown so significantly.

Back in Jin City, although he was prized as Hai City’s top young master, he was merely at the Martial Form Realm.

Now, even Ye Qingtian couldn’t discern his strength.

"War God List’s fourth-ranked Ye Xiaoyao has arrived too?"

"He must be; now we can witness the charm of two great gods."

The crowd speculated with anticipation gleaming in their eyes.

Ye Qingtian stepped forward: "Fine, you wish to die, I’ll oblige."

"Hey, kid, they called for Ye Xiaoyao, not you, why step forward?"

"Yes, don’t overestimate yourself now, or you’ll lose your life!"

"Alas, today’s youth don’t assess the situation, is this the time to show off?"

The crowd scolded Ye Qingtian one after another.

"Ye Xiaoyao, I’ve waited too long for this moment!"

Qin Lingtian descended from above, landing on the martial competition platform. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"My goodness, that young man is truly Ye Xiaoyao!"

"Indeed, Prison Lord Qin said it himself, it must be true!"

Amidst the crowd’s shock, the two young geniuses faced off dramatically.

"Why can’t we see Ye Xiaoyao’s face?"

Someone wondered.

"Stop! This is the Genius Tournament hosted by Dragon Soul, unauthorized dueling is forbidden!"

A voice shouted out!
