Chapter 29

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

Time quietly flowed, but the eighty-one divine patterns floating in the void, which emitted a faint golden light, showed no change at all. Not even a single crimson flame golden lotus appeared!

Yanwei's forehead was covered with fine sweat, his eyes fixed on the eighty-one divine patterns, and he swallowed hard.

Five breaths... ten breaths passed!

The divine patterns remained the same, showing no change whatsoever!

"How is this possible?!" Master Yi's eyes widened as he looked at the eighty-one divine patterns Yanwei had written, examining them carefully three times.

Yanwei's manifestation of the divine skill had no errors; the divine skill was correct. So why didn't the crimson flame golden lotus form? Not even a single one? Could it be that Yanwei's divine pattern compatibility was really that poor?

This is too unbelievable!

Even ordinary martial artists without the talent of a divine pattern master could form one or two crimson flame golden lotuses when manifesting the divine skill!

"What's going on?" Lin Ziyuan was also stunned, staring blankly at the eighty-one divine patterns floating in mid-air, which showed no change in the crimson flame golden lotus divine skill.

What does this mean?

It means that Yanwei's divine pattern compatibility is almost zero, meaning he cannot manifest the divine skill. Even if his cultivation reaches the Seventh Star Martial Artist, with sufficient mental power and yuan qi, he still cannot manifest the divine skill!

The Red-grade Sea of Consciousness, though the worst, is not considered worthless. There is still hope for it to rise. Historically, many people with Red-grade Sea of Consciousness eventually became powerful figures, the most famous being Chen Feng, the Imperial Venerable.

"... No crimson flame golden lotus has been born, does this mean my divine pattern compatibility is zero?" A bitter, self-mocking smile appeared on Yanwei's slightly immature face.

Before manifesting the crimson flame golden lotus divine skill, Yanwei had imagined countless possibilities, but he never thought the result would be like this. Even ordinary people could form at least one crimson flame golden lotus when manifesting the divine skill. Someone with almost zero divine pattern compatibility is extremely rare, with only one in a million martial artists.

Yanwei never imagined that such a small, almost negligible probability would actually happen to him!

I am not willing to accept this!

Why give me hope and then let me fall into complete despair! Yanwei roared in his heart, his eyes filled with pain.

Lin Ziyuan looked at Master Yi, wanting to know what was going on, but Master Yi only shook his head slightly. He thought he had encountered a world-class gem, but never expected that Yanwei's divine pattern compatibility would be zero...

"Yanwei, be strong!" Lin Ziyuan sighed, looking at Yanwei with concern, and slowly walked to his front, gently patting his shoulder with her delicate hand.

"Even if you can't manifest the divine skill, it's not a big deal. With your soul perception and understanding of divine patterns, you will be respected wherever you go. Even some high-ranking divine pattern masters might seek your help!"

"Even if you can't manifest the divine skill or cultivate in the martial path, no one in this Qingyue City will dare to harm you, I swear by my family's name!" Lin Ziyuan comforted Yanwei.

"Swear by your family's name?" Master Yi looked at the iris embroidered on Lin Ziyuan's robe, his body trembling. He knew how much the descendants of that ancient family valued their family's honor. For Lin Ziyuan to swear by her family's name for Yanwei, it seemed that the relationship between Yanwei and Lin Ziyuan was not ordinary.

"Alas, what a pity!" Master Yi glanced at Yanwei. Yanwei's soul perception and understanding of divine patterns were not inferior to those of a divine pattern master. As long as his divine pattern compatibility wasn't too poor, Master Yi was confident he could cultivate Yanwei into a divine pattern master within three years.

Yanwei would only be sixteen years old in three years, and a sixteen-year-old divine pattern master would be astonishing!

Who would have thought that Yanwei's divine pattern compatibility would be so poor, almost zero, making his strong soul perception and rich knowledge of divine patterns meaningless.

Yanwei clenched his fists. Compared to before, his current situation wasn't much worse. If the heavens do not allow me, then I will break the heavens!

A determined look flashed in Yanwei's eyes. Even in adversity, he had never thought of giving up.

"Master Yi, I have a request. One of the three major families in Qingyue City, the Du family, has been suppressing my Ye family. Recently, they even want to seize our ancestral land. I hope Master Yi can help my Ye family uphold justice!" Although he didn't become Master Yi's disciple, for the survival of the Ye family, Yanwei still boldly made his request.

"It's not that I am unwilling to help, but I have always stayed out of worldly affairs. Intervening in the disputes between major families would indeed be inappropriate..." Master Yi frowned, hesitating.

Yanwei was silent. Master Yi had no familial ties with him, and asking for help was indeed a bit too much. After all, the Du family was one of the three major families in Qingyue City. Why would Master Yi offend the Du family for no reason?

Originally, Yanwei wanted to become Master Yi's disciple and then make such a request. However, the gap between his ideals and reality was too great. Not only did he fail to gain Master Yi's recognition, but he was also found to have zero divine pattern compatibility!

Staying any longer and repeatedly making requests would only be annoying!

After a moment of silence, Yanwei said with neither humility nor arrogance, "No matter what, I still want to thank Master Yi and Sister Ziyuan for giving me this opportunity. I will remember it and be grateful forever! Master Yi, Sister Ziyuan, there are some matters at the Ye family, I will return first!"

Yanwei bowed slightly to Master Yi and Lin Ziyuan, then turned and rushed out of the bamboo pavilion, running towards the Ye family.

"Cousin Ye Qiutang, Cousin Ye Xuan, Cousin Ye Zhong, you must be safe. I hope nothing has happened to the Ye family!" Thinking about the current situation of the Ye family, Yanwei no longer felt sad about his own situation. No matter what, he had to return to the Ye family first!

Yuying Mountain was not very large, and Yanwei was now a Three-star Apprentice. His strength, speed, and endurance were much greater than before. Running at full speed, his speed was astonishing, and from a distance, he looked like a nimble monkey leaping through the forest.

"Yanwei is so anxious, it must be that something has happened to the Ye family. It turns out that the people from the Du family, the City Lord's residence, General Zhou Wu, and the Linghe Chamber of Commerce did not come to the Ye family to let the younger generation spar, but to seize the Ye family's ancestral land!"

"The Ye family is only a second-rate family in Qingyue City, while the Du family is one of the three major families. The Ye family's situation is very dangerous!"

"Yanwei, Yanwei, something has happened to the Ye family, why didn't you tell me?" Lin Ziyuan sighed, then realized that Yanwei didn't want to cause her trouble. However, Yanwei underestimated her. A small Du family, a general from the City Lord's residence, and the president of the Linghe Chamber of Commerce were not worth her concern!

"Master Yi, I'm leaving!" Lin Ziyuan, worried about Yanwei, bowed slightly to Master Yi and then walked lightly towards the Dao vessel carriage outside the bamboo pavilion.

Master Yi looked at Yanwei's departing back, lost in thought. Despite such a great blow, Yanwei's eyes remained firm and determined. A thirteen-year-old child could have such a mindset. If given a chance, Yanwei would surely achieve what ordinary people could not imagine!

"Fine, fine, although I have long stayed out of worldly affairs, I will make a trip for you today!" Master Yi sighed, looking at Lin Ziyuan, "Let's go together! Although your family background can solve these problems, it would be inconvenient. Let me handle it!"

Lin Ziyuan was quite surprised that Master Yi was willing to help.

"Alright, let's go together!" Lin Ziyuan nodded.

Just as Lin Ziyuan finished speaking, the divine patterns Yanwei had just written did not dissipate but suddenly emitted a bright light, illuminating the entire bamboo pavilion.

"What's happening?" Lin Ziyuan and Master Yi were both startled.
