"Fellow Daoist Ye, according to the time estimate, the first wave of eruption from the Divine Sun Spirit Cave should occur in three days. We will reunite in three days."
"I imagine Fellow Daoist Ye is new to the Ancient Pass of Destiny and may not yet have a full understanding of various aspects. For the next three days, Youyun suggests that Fellow Daoist Ye visit the 'Spirit Praise Platform' of the Ancient Pass of Destiny. It is a treasure land with Dao traces left by some ancient powerhouses, which can be studied and comprehended. In addition, the ancient spiritual energy on the Spirit Praise Platform is extremely rich, and there is also a faint Dao charm. It is most suitable for Saint Kings who enter the Ancient Pass of Destiny for the first time. Almost every newcomer can gain something from it."
“There are local geniuses from the Ancient Pass of Destiny studying and cultivating there every day, making it a place that should not be missed.”
"Of course, if Fellow Daoist Ye is interested in the history or events of Tianming Ancient Pass itself, you can also go to the 'Beihai Market' in the north, where the trading points and intelligence points of the major local forces within Tianming Ancient Pass are gathered."
"Oh, right, Fellow Daoist Ye, this is for you..."
As she spoke, Fairy Youyun handed over a storage ring with her slender hand.
"There is a piece of Heavenly Fate Jade inside. This item is the currency used for trade within the Heavenly Fate Ancient Pass. Fellow Daoist Ye may need it."
"Consider it a loan from me to Fellow Daoist Ye. Don't forget to return it to me later, Fellow Daoist Ye."
How acute were Ye Wuque's senses?
He naturally sensed Fairy Youyun's goodwill and her desire to befriend him.
He didn't hesitate and accepted it directly.
"In that case, thank you very much, Fairy Youyun."
Seeing Ye Wuque accept her Destiny Jade, Fairy Youyun smiled faintly once again.
This scene, witnessed by the others, ignited an unquenchable gleam in their eyes.
The benefits of Divine Sun Spirit Cave.
Provide useful information about the Ancient Pass of Destiny.
The Jade of Destiny is given away for free!
They were practically feeding him!
What kind of treatment is this?
Even Fan Yitian before this was no better than this!
Could Fairy Youyun really have done this much on just one aspect?
At this moment, whether it was the purple-clad man carrying a long sword, or Chi Yanfei, Cui Guangming, and Zhang Changfeng, they no longer cared about jealousy or resentment towards Ye Wuque; they only felt intense curiosity and a desire to explore!
What exactly did Fairy Youyun see in this man surnamed Ye?
"Everyone, according to the pattern, the treasures that emerge from the Divine Sun Cave for the first time are usually quite valuable, so the first round of competition in three days will be fierce!"
"If possible, you should prepare some shockproof armor and pills that can quickly restore your energy, because the first wave of eruption will bring a terrifying divine tidal wave! If you are not careful, you will be thrown out and lose the initiative."
"As for the specific positions and directions, Youyun will explain them when we meet in three days."
Fairy Youyun looked at everyone and spoke, then looked at Ye Wuque.
“Fellow Daoist Ye, then I will take my leave now. With this communication jade slip in hand, I will come to find you in three days.”
After handing over a communication jade slip, Fairy Youyun looked at the others again, nodded slightly, and then vanished in a flash, leaving only a wisp of fragrance behind.
Ye Wuque then sat down again and continued drinking and eating.
Zhang Changfeng closed his folding fan and smiled at Ye Wuque, saying, "Fellow Daoist Ye, I am Zhang Changfeng. I look forward to fighting alongside you in three days. Farewell."
Zhang Changfeng was the first to leave.
Then Chi Yanfei left without looking back.
Cui Guangming also chuckled and left.
The purple-clad man carrying a long sword took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of Ye Wuque.
You are even stronger than you appear!
"I just don't know if I'll be able to draw my sword!"
"After the Divine Sun Cave, you too are qualified to become my whetstone!"
"My name is... Yan Jinfeng!"
After giving his name, the person transformed into a streak of purple light and vanished completely.
Ye Wuque remained calm, simply pouring himself another glass of wine.
"Amitabha Buddha, greetings, Benefactor Ye..."
"This humble monk Huixin greets you."
At this moment, the monk Huixin approached with his hands clasped together and spoke softly.
"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. My name is Ye Wuque."
Ye Wuque responded to the greeting from the monk Huixin.
With Ye Wuque's perception, he could naturally discover that when Chi Yanfei attacked him earlier, the monk Huixin was actually preparing to secretly help him, but he gave up after Ye Wuque demonstrated his strength.
If someone treats me with respect, I will treat them with the same respect.
This is also one of Ye Wuque's principles of conduct.
"I don't know why, but I feel that Benefactor Ye seems to have a connection with Buddhism."
"I could faintly sense a Buddhist aura emanating from Benefactor Ye, and there was also a lingering mysterious Buddhist energy."
"Has Benefactor Ye ever had contact with any supreme being of our Buddhist or Taoist lineage?"
The monk Huixin asked the question in a sincere tone.
Ye Wuque took a sip of wine and then said, "Fellow Daoist Huixin has a keen intuition. Indeed, I had some connections with you before, but they were nothing but illusions."
“Amitabha, Benefactor Ye is indeed of profound spiritual attainment, and to be able to have a connection with the Buddha is a good karmic connection.”
"Thank you for your reply, Benefactor Ye. I will take my leave now."
The monk Huixin chanted the Buddha's name again, then turned and left without any hesitation.
Ye Wuque's eyes flickered slightly as he watched the monk Huixin's retreating figure.
This monk is no ordinary person!
To be deeply enlightened by Buddhism is likely to be a disciple of a powerful Buddhist sect or someone who has received a profound lineage of Buddhism or Taoism.
Although it was hidden very well, it could not escape Ye Wuque's eyes.
Beneath the opponent's body, an inexhaustible golden radiance flowed!
It seems to have some connection with "Sixteen-Foot Golden Body," one of the supreme body-refining secrets in the Buddhist and Taoist traditions.
The Zhuiyue Restaurant was deserted, but there were still quite a few people watching the spectacle outside.
After everything quieted down, Ye Wuque enjoyed his leisurely time alone until the sun set before leaving the Zhuiyue Restaurant.
The direction west of Tianming Ancient Pass.
The Altar of Praise.
When Ye Wuque arrived here, after hearing what Fairy Youyun had told him, he naturally became somewhat interested in this place.
Upon arriving, I found the crowds here to be even more overwhelming than I had imagined.
Ahead, between heaven and earth, stands a massive, dilapidated, ancient stone platform, stretching as far as the eye can see.
It was enveloped in ancient and rich spiritual energy, as well as a faint Daoist charm.
One can clearly see numerous Dao traces on the stone platform, which look unusual, shimmering with light and color, and hiding opportunities.
A large number of figures sat cross-legged on the entire Spirit Praise Platform, all engaged in meditation.
However, there are still quite a few empty seats.
Ye Wuque quickly approached, intending to ascend the Songling Platform.
"According to the rules of the Ancient Pass of Destiny, one hundred Destiny Jade will be awarded for each comprehension session."
Just then, at the entrance to the Altar of Praise, a human figure spoke in a deep, muffled voice.
Its design is exactly the same as the guardian creatures on the ancient city gate of Tianming.
Ye Wuque understood that this must be a rule passed down from the Heavenly Mandate Ancient Pass, not targeting anyone in particular, but something that everyone must abide by.
With a wave of his right hand, Ye Wuque conjured one hundred Destiny Jade stones in his hand.
This is a pure jade, only the size of a grain of rice, yet radiant with iridescent light, imbued with the spirit of heaven and earth, and ancient Taoist charm.
Fairy Youyun directly gave Ye Wuque 10,000 Heavenly Fate Jade.
It has to be said that it is quite grand.
In a flash, the Destiny Jade in Ye Wuque's hand disappeared and was taken away by the guardian spirit.
"The rules of the Songling Platform can be comprehended, but cannot be broken, nor can they be used to imprint Dao traces."
"If you make a gain and reach a certain level, the Dao traces will vibrate and trigger unusual phenomena."
"In addition, those who comprehend living beings can also leave their own Dao traces on the Spirit Praise Platform."
"If the value of the Dao trace reaches a certain level, it will be rewarded by the Heavenly Mandate Ancient Pass and announced to all directions."
"Remember, fighting is strictly prohibited on the Spirit Praise Platform. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy."
After the guardian spirit took away the Jade of Destiny, it spoke again, informing Ye Wuque of the rules.
Ye Wuque remained noncommittal, and in a flash, he ascended the Spirit Praise Platform.
As far as the eye could see, there were rows of figures sitting cross-legged, motionless, either comprehending the Dao traces or absorbing ancient spiritual energy.
Nine times out of ten, they should all be young people from local powerful families.
Ye Wuque casually browsed the Dao traces on the Songling Platform.
There were quite a few of these Dao marks, clearly distinct from one another, and they came in all shapes and sizes: fist marks, palm marks, knife marks, sword marks, raindrops, storm marks...
Some are even unrecognizable, seemingly just random engravings, but in fact they contain profound secrets; it all depends on whether you can decipher them.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Ye Wuque caught a glimpse of a Dao trace and let out a soft exclamation.
