Chapter 6: Quasi-Emperor is perfect, can he become a swordsman after sleeping?

After leaving the cave, Ye Qingyun returned to his own Lingxiao Peak.

Feng Qingyang looked at Ye Qingyun, a hint of astonishment flickering in his aged eyes.

In just over seventy days, the master seems to have become much stronger?

He wondered if it was an illusion, but he sensed a fierce dragon's aura within the master's body?

As divine beasts, dragons possess extremely powerful physical strength. If at the same cultivation level, humans are definitely no match for dragons.

But how could the master possess dragon aura? Could it be that he cultivated a divine body related to dragons?

Feng Qingyang's expression changed drastically as he speculated in his heart.

Back at Lingxiao Peak, Ye Qingyun stretched lazily. The toil of these seventy-plus days had left him quite tired.

"Elder Feng, take these pills and refine them." Ye Qingyun casually tossed out a small jade bottle, which Feng Qingyang respectfully received.

Although Feng Qingyang had reached the peak of Great Emperor realm, he could still progress further.

As Ye Qingyun's protector, Feng Qingyang naturally wouldn't be stingy.

"Thank you for your generosity, Master." Feng Qingyang thanked Ye Qingyun.

When Feng Qingyang sensed the pills in the jade bottle, he was dumbfounded.

The pills were quite common, being Peiyuan Pill and Marrow Cleansing Pill, essentials for major sects.

But the grade of the pills... all were ninth-grade?!

Inside the jade bottle casually thrown by the master were ten ninth-grade pills!!

Ninth-grade pills were extremely rare in the entire Eastern Domain, treasures even to transcendent powers. Yet the master casually produced ten of them!

"M-Master, these pills are too precious. You should keep them for yourself." Feng Qingyang dared not accept them, holding them out to return to Ye Qingyun.

"You can take them. They're just ninth-grade pills, there are plenty." Ye Qingyun waved his hand, feeling increasingly sleepy and just wanting to lie down.

[Ding]

[Host shows care for subordinates, generously giving away ten ninth-grade pills, triggering a hundredfold return]

[Reward: 100x Ninth-Grade Peiyuan Pills, 100x Ninth-Grade Marrow Cleansing Pills]

Suddenly, the system's voice rang out.

Ye Qingyun frowned. "Even rewards for this?"

They were too much; he couldn't possibly use them all!

These ninth-grade pills, he could eat them like candy in the future.

"Ninth-grade pills... there are plenty?" Feng Qingyang stood dumbfounded, thinking he must have misheard.

These were ninth-grade pills! How could they seem so cheap in the master's eyes?

Ye Qingyun entered his room, ignoring Feng Qingyang.

Feng Qingyang held the jade bottle in both hands, his aged eyes filled with gratitude and awe.

He had a premonition that as long as he followed the master faithfully, he would inevitably reach new heights in his life...

In the room, Ye Qingyun flopped onto the bed.

"Dog system, I'm going to sleep first. Handle the breakthrough." After ordering, Ye Qingyun fell asleep immediately.

Soon, his snoring filled the room.

He needed to take care of his body and continue helping the Empress with her cultivation.

Cultivation required perseverance; he couldn't slack off.

[Consuming 500 years of cultivation, breakthrough to Perfect Pseudo-Emperor Realm]

While Ye Qingyun slept, the system began to help him break through.

Spiritual energy quickly gathered in his dantian, forming pure power that surged through his body, impacting his cultivation realm.

"Boom!!"

Ye Qingyun's cultivation soared rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, he broke through to Perfect Pseudo-Emperor Realm.

Luckily, the system had long shielded the celestial secrets of Lingxiao Peak, so it didn't attract anyone's attention.

Only Feng Qingyang felt it.

"This aura... Perfect Pseudo-Emperor Realm?!"

"The master is actually a Perfect Pseudo-Emperor Realm expert?!"

Feng Qingyang's pupils contracted suddenly, feeling as if this was too surreal.

The master was at most in his thirties, yet he had achieved Perfect Pseudo-Emperor Realm cultivation!

Throughout the Shunkun Continent, such a phenomenon was unheard of!

"The master's name will surely resonate throughout the entire Shunkun Continent!"

Feng Qingyang's expression turned respectful, his tone filled with excitement.

"No, I must also make good use of my time to cultivate. I absolutely cannot lag behind the master."

Feng Qingyang suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

Although he had reached the peak of Great Emperor Realm, he couldn't afford to be lazy.

The master had such powerful talent, yet he still worked hard on cultivation, exchanged insights with the Empress, and immersed himself in seclusion... What excuse did Feng Qingyang have to slack off?

"I must strive harder!"

Feng Qingyang took out the pills given by the master and immediately began refining them, racing against time.

In his room, Ye Qingyun continued to snore peacefully.

[Ding]

[Detected host sleeping. Rewarding Emperor-Level Advanced Martial Technique "Kneeling Immortal with One Sword", 10x Ninth-Grade Boundary-Breaking Pills, 10x Ninth-Grade...]

[Automatically comprehending Emperor-Level Advanced Martial Technique "Kneeling Immortal with One Sword" for host]

[Host has comprehended Emperor-Level Advanced Martial Technique "Kneeling Immortal with One Sword"]

[Detected host sleeping continuously for two and a half days. System has automatically gathered sword qi for host. Congratulations, host, on becoming a swordsman]

(Gathering sword qi makes one a Swordsman; mastering sword intent makes one a Sword Immortal; comprehending sword principles makes one a Sword God)

...

While Ye Qingyun slept, the system's voice continued echoing in his mind.

After an unknown period, a knock sounded at the door.

Ye Qingyun woke up from his dream, feeling a bit impatient.

But when he sensed the powerful sword qi within his body, along with the myriad pills and martial techniques in his Purple Mansion, he was dumbfounded.

"What the heck? I just slept, how did I become a swordsman?"

Ye Qingyun was quite puzzled.

Gathering sword qi within one's body wasn't easy; it required exceptional talent in swordsmanship. Some people spend their entire lives without achieving it.

Yet he had cultivated sword qi in just one sleep...

People are really incomparable!

Moreover, Ye Qingyun had also comprehended an Emperor-Level Advanced Sword Technique called "Kneeling Immortal with One Sword".

Why did it sound so familiar?

Well, whatever, it sounded awesome!

With one sword strike, even Immortals would kneel!

An Emperor-Level Advanced Sword Technique—there was no second in the entire Eastern Domain.

If Ye Qingyun were to unleash this sword strike, how would Xuantian Sword Sect, a transcendent power, respond?

Ye Qingyun's mood immediately improved.

The dog system was indeed thoughtful!

Not only did it help him break through to Perfect Pseudo-Emperor Realm, but it also gave him so many rewards.

The more he slacked off, the more invincible he became!

Ye Qingyun pushed open the door, and a disciple dressed in Flowing Cloud Sect attire bowed respectfully.

"Peak Master Ye, the sect will hold a disciple-recruitment ceremony today. The Sect Master sent me to inform you."

Though the disciple bowed to Ye Qingyun, he didn't hold any awe in his heart.

Everyone knew Ye Qingyun had become Peak Master through sheer luck. Otherwise, with his Foundation Establishment cultivation, he couldn't even become a menial disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect.

But luck was luck; what could they do?

"A disciple-recruitment ceremony? Alright, I got it." Ye Qingyun stretched lazily and replied.

The ceremony was held every three years to replenish the Flowing Cloud Sect with fresh blood. Previously attended by the Drunken Master, now that he had become Peak Master, it was his turn.

"Recruitment ceremonies are such a hassle. I'd rather learn from the Drunken Master." Ye Qingyun chuckled and walked towards the Trial Grounds with a curious mind, eager to watch the show.
