Who is it?
Ye Qiye subconsciously looked up at the figure standing in front of him.
Yun Tianping!
It was Yun Tianping!
Ye Qiye's expression dimmed, and he lowered his head again, his entire being becoming even more dejected.
He forced a bitter smile, "Are you here to mock me? Well, you are indeed very strong, you can defeat me, you have the right to mock me... Come on, mock me to your heart's content!"
Ye Qiye was at his absolute lowest.
He had no intention of resisting anymore.
Lie flat!
Lie down and let Yun Tianping trample on him!
Unexpectedly, Yun Tianping did not mock Ye Qiye, nor did he underestimate him.
He spoke calmly and said,
"Ye Qiye, you are one of the most talented geniuses I have ever seen. You are very outstanding. My aptitude is far inferior to yours. Under normal circumstances, I would not be able to defeat you. You should have won this competition. Do you know why you lost?"
Yun Tianping's opening words acknowledged Ye Qiye's "excellence" and even stated that his own aptitude was inferior to Ye Qiye's.
What kind of move was this?
Ye Qiye was dumbfounded. He looked up at Yun Tianping in disbelief.
"You, what exactly do you want to say?"
Yun Tianping said calmly.
"What I want to say is that this battle was not won by me against you, but by the senior!"
Senior?
The mysterious senior!
Ye Qiye's eyes widened, and he stared at Yun Tianping blankly.
Not only Yun Tianping, but everyone present fell silent. They all looked at Yun Tianping curiously.
What did the victory of this competition have to do with the senior?
Yun Tianping looked towards the direction of the "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest," bowed deeply first, his expression becoming incomparably respectful, his eyes filled with reverence and admiration.
He slowly spoke.
"The senior not only helped me overcome the tribulation but also helped me seal the tribulation lightning, creating six Thunder Heavenly Secrets Cores. It is precisely because of these six Thunder Heavenly Secrets Cores that the metal puppet possesses incredible divine power! The reason the metal puppet is so strong has nothing to do with me. All of this was bestowed by the senior!"
Well, that makes a lot of sense!
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
That's right!
The reason Yun Tianping was able to defeat Ye Qiye was not because of his own strength, but because of the "metal puppet."
Of course, the "metal puppet" was Yun Tianping's "mechanical puppet," which could also be considered part of Yun Tianping's strength.
Ye Qiye did not lose unfairly!
However, the "metal puppet" should not have been this strong. It was all because the senior intervened, creating the six "Thunder Heavenly Secrets Cores," which made the "metal puppet" so incredibly powerful!
Therefore, the senior is awesome, awesome, awesome!
Everyone's hearts were filled with renewed and boundless respect and admiration for the senior.
"The senior is truly amazing!"
"With the senior's move, dead things become divine!"
"Senior is awesome, senior is awesome, awesome, awesome!"
...
A round of "praise" erupted from the scene, madly showering Hao Ren with "rainbow farts"!
Inside the cave.
A certain senior
(～￣▽￣)～
Hehe...
Let out a cheerful and hearty laugh!
Yun Tianping is such a smooth talker, he has potential, I like him!
Hao Ren decided that as soon as the next batch of "Divine Sense Pills" came out, he would reward Yun Tianping with one.
Hehe...
Yun Family Immortal Estate.
On the "arena."
Hearing Yun Tianping's words, Ye Qiye was completely stunned.
Rumble!
In his mind, it was as if thunderous roars echoed!
He awoke as if from a dream!
In this instant, Ye Qiye had an epiphany. He grasped the "ultimate truth of the world."
To become stronger, one must be associated with the "mysterious senior."
How to get associated with the "mysterious senior"?
That's right, apprenticeship!
If he could become a disciple of the "mysterious senior," he would receive the "mysterious senior's" most direct care, and then he would "take off instantly."
Ye Qiye instantly made up his mind.
Apprenticeship!
He wanted to take the "mysterious senior" as his master!
...
Ten thousand miles underground.
In the "Endless Abyss."
The crimson "lava sea" surged and churned, emitting a terrifying and scorching power.
Dressed in a black robe, "Gu Zhenren" flew in the air above the sea. He soon entered the depths of the "lava sea" and found an inconspicuous small reef on the vast expanse of the sea.
The entire small reef was less than half a square meter, barely able to accommodate one person.
At this moment, a "big bald head" was meditating cross-legged, sitting steadily on the small reef.
Bang bang bang!
The towering waves continuously swept over!
The scorching "lava" raged and roared, continuously striking the "big bald head."
The "big bald head" did not activate his "demonic energy" to resist. He endured the "lava impact" purely with his physical strength.
The extremely hot lava, containing terrifyingly high temperatures, was enough to burn ordinary "High-grade magical treasures," yet it could not harm the "big bald head's" body in the slightest.
The "big bald head's" bronze skin emanated a misty luster, filled with powerful strength that was awe-inspiring!
Seeing this, "Gu Zhenren" was both shocked and admired.
He couldn't help but exclaim,
"Great Leader, your Undying Demonic Body can resist the impact of the abyss fire sea. It seems it's about to reach completion!"
Upon hearing this, the "big bald head" slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes were completely black, filled with surging demonic energy, sending a chill down one's spine.
However, there was not much killing intent emanating from the "big bald head." Instead, he exuded a gentle and benevolent aura.
These two contradictory energies, fused in one person, did not appear awkward. Instead, they possessed a unique charm that made people admire him.
The "big bald head" was indeed the "Great Leader of the Abyss." With this unique aura alone, it was enough to show his extraordinary nature.
The "big bald head" looked at "Gu Zhenren" flying in the air.
"Gu Zhenren" was currently flying at an altitude of three thousand meters, which was his limit. He could not descend any further.
The lower he went, the greater the power of the "abyss fire sea." The scorching flames could directly roast "Gu Zhenren" alive.
The flames of the "abyss fire sea" were not ordinary flames, but true "demonic flames," fierce and overbearing!
Only peerless powerhouses like the "big bald head" would use the power of "demonic flames" to temper their bodies. Other "demonic cultivators" wouldn't even dare to think about it; they couldn't even get close to the "abyss fire sea."
The "big bald head" smiled slightly and said to "Gu Zhenren,"
"A'Gu, is there any news from Qiye?"
"Gu Zhenren" replied respectfully.
"Great Leader, you truly have eyes like fire and are incredibly perceptive. Nothing escapes your notice! Your guess is absolutely correct. There is news from young master Qiye!"
Hahaha...
The "big bald head" burst into hearty laughter.
"A'Gu, how many times have I told you not to flatter me? I hate flattery the most!"
