Chapter 171: Ye Beixuan – I’m Someone Who Has a Master Watching Over Me Too

Words : 1462 Updated : Sep 29th, 2025

On the eastern coast, the Yunxia Mountains stretched for tens of thousands of miles. The mountains were filled with rich spiritual energy, and birds and beasts could be seen everywhere. It was a paradise for adventurers—and also a haven for evil cultivators in hiding. Although there were a few sects around the Yunxia Mountains, they were all minor forces not worth mentioning. The most important reason was that deep within the Yunxia Mountains resided a sacred beast. If a beast tide were to break out, the surrounding sects would face utter destruction. Even the Holy Lands would suffer heavy losses when faced with the beast tide from the Yunxia Mountains. Therefore, any faction with even a little strength would never choose to base their sect in the Yunxia Mountains. Within the mountains, a figure in a light blue long robe moved swiftly through the terrain. His speed was ghostly—so fast that beasts below the True Fate Realm couldn’t even sense his presence. Even those in the True Fate Realm could only catch a fleeting afterimage, while only Heaven Origin Realm beasts could follow his movements. However, Heaven Origin beasts typically occupied fixed territories. As long as this figure didn’t intrude, they would not attack. After a long journey, the figure stopped outside a mountain valley. This valley was the famous Ziyun Valley of the Yunxia Mountains. The valley was the domain of a Dao-Union level demon general. Nearby beasts didn’t dare approach it, and neither did cultivators. Ye Beixuan cautiously made his way into the valley. Ever since leaving the Yunlan Sect, he had been cultivating as he traveled toward the Yunxia Mountains. Today, he had finally arrived. Before entering the mountains, he had deliberately improved both his shielding techniques and aura-concealing methods by a level. With these enhancements, even if he encountered a Heaven Origin beast in the Yunxia Mountains, he would be able to escape in time. After entering Ziyun Valley, he did not immediately search for the Nine-Leaf Purple Lotus. According to his memories, that lotus had already grown all nine leaves. In another hundred years, it would fully mature, and when it did, it would trigger a fierce struggle. In his previous life, Ye Beixuan had made his name during that very battle, becoming a peerless prodigy of his era and securing his place as the Holy Son of Wendao Academy. The Nine-Leaf Purple Lotus grew one leaf every hundred years and fully matured after a thousand. Each leaf could extend a cultivator's lifespan by a hundred years. But the most precious part of the Nine-Leaf Purple Lotus wasn’t its leaves—it was the lotus heart. Within the lotus heart was a trace of primal purple qi, which could help cultivators comprehend the great Dao of heaven and earth. Even for Nirvana Realm cultivators, it was an immense temptation. Ye Beixuan clearly remembered the location of the Nine-Leaf Purple Lotus—it lay in the center of Ziyun Lake. And within the lake dwelled a peak Dao-Union serpent demon as its guardian. That serpent demon was only a step away from transforming into a flood dragon. Once the Nine-Leaf Purple Lotus matured, the serpent would surely devour the thousand-year-old spiritual herb to break through the Dao-Union Realm and complete its transformation. In his previous life, three months before the lotus matured, the entire Ziyun Valley became filled with a rich medicinal fragrance, attracting all the demon generals within a thousand-mile radius. While training in the Yunxia Mountains, Ye Beixuan had detected the movement of the beasts and rushed to Ziyun Valley, ultimately seizing the Nine-Leaf Purple Lotus. Now, the valley was unusually quiet. Not to mention demon generals—even True Fate Realm beasts were rarely seen. Occasionally, some Dao Foundation Realm beasts appeared, but they dared not approach Ziyun Lake. With his current strength, trying to seize the Nine-Leaf Purple Lotus from the lake would be like delivering food to the serpent demon. It seemed he needed to come up with a plan that achieved both safety and success. At that thought, a bold idea quickly formed in Ye Beixuan’s mind. Since in his previous life, the lotus had attracted demon generals into a scramble with the lake’s guardian beast, why not replicate that scenario exactly? Just as Ye Beixuan opened his storage ring, preparing to refine a batch of Spirit Demon Pills, his eyes landed on a piece of sword jade. Pa! He slapped his forehead. “How could I forget the treasure Master gave me? With this sword jade, a mere Path Union demon general is nothing. Looks like I need to break my bad habits. After all, I, Ye Beixuan, now have a master watching over me.” Thinking of this, the corners of Ye Beixuan’s mouth curled up slightly. He began using his divine sense to search for the demon general's whereabouts within Ziyun Lake. Before long, he spotted a giant serpent, dozens of meters long, lying motionless at the bottom of the lake. Even when fish swam by, it didn’t react. He glanced at the Nine-Leaf Purple Lotus floating on the lake’s surface and decided to first pick the lotus and then slay the serpent with a single sword strike. If the serpent was alerted beforehand, even better—luring it out of the lake to kill it worked just as well. With sword jade in hand, Ye Beixuan silently made his way toward the lake, his divine sense never relaxing, tightly locked onto the serpent at the lake bottom. He leaped into the sky, and just as he flew over the area above Ziyun Lake— The giant serpent sensed his presence. In an instant, the previously still serpent shot up from the lakebed. Splash! A massive wave, dozens of meters high, erupted. “Perfect timing!” Ye Beixuan looked at the colossal body rising from the waves and immediately activated the sword jade in his hand. Clang! A flash of sword qi streaked by. The serpent was instantly decapitated, its soul annihilated. Whoosh!!! The serpent’s corpse fell back into the lake, sending water spraying in all directions. A hint of joy appeared on Ye Beixuan’s face. He immediately plucked the still-immature Nine-Leaf Purple Lotus. With this lotus, he was certain he could refine a wisp of Primal Chaos Purple Qi and finally begin cultivating the Primal Chaos Creation Art. After taking the lotus, he didn’t leave right away. Instead, he dove into the water and placed the serpent’s corpse into a separate storage pouch. After all, this serpent had reached the peak of the Spirit Nourishment Realm—its flesh was filled with spiritual energy and was a great tonic for a Dao Foundation cultivator like him. He couldn’t let it go to waste. At the same time that Ye Beixuan killed the serpent demon, the other demon beasts in the valley began fleeing in all directions. Ye Beixuan had no intention of chasing them. After securing the serpent’s body, he prepared to leave and find a new place to consume the Nine-Leaf Purple Lotus. But just as he flew out of the valley, several terrifying auras locked onto him. Focusing his gaze, he saw three Spirit Nourishment Realm demon beasts completely surrounding him. One was a leopard demon the size of a small mountain. Another was a silver eagle demon hovering in the sky. The third had a human face and a spider’s body—a spider demon. Seeing this, Ye Beixuan instinctively tightened his grip on the sword jade. “Human, hand over the Nine-Leaf Purple Lotus. That kind of treasure isn’t something a lowly Dao Foundation cultivator like you can possess,” the leopard demon was the first to speak. It wasn’t surprising—demon generals at the Spirit Nourishment Realm could speak human tongue. Ye Beixuan calmly replied, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.” “Kekekeke...” The human-faced spider let out a sinister, eerie laugh. “Boy, you must not know—the Nine-Leaf Purple Lotus is a treasure guarded jointly by us four great demon generals. It was just that this century, it was the turn of that unlucky bastard Nether Serpent to watch over it. I don’t know how you killed the Nether Serpent, but the three of us are on guard. Your tricks are useless before us. Be smart and hand over the Nine-Leaf Purple Lotus, and I’ll let you die painlessly!” After hearing her out, Ye Beixuan said flatly, “I see... no wonder. So you didn’t witness that sword strike. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be here courting death. Fine, since you’re not afraid of dying—then I’ll show you what it means to face the might of a Half-Saint!” \==================================================================================== Get access to 20 chapters in advance and enjoy 2 daily updates by supporting the series.
