Chapter 56: Young Yang Bin

"Your boss doesn't interest me. It's best not to disturb me, or you'll bear the consequences!" Tuo Ba Ye said coldly.

Tian Tong shouted loudly, "Tuo Ba Ye, don't think you're so great. You're just a disciple from the secular world, what are you being so arrogant about!"

Clearly, these people had already figured out Tuo Ba Ye's background, which is why they came to cause trouble. Tuo Ba Ye's basic information was registered with the outer sect elders, including his background. Of course, his cultivation level and age were not recorded.

There are three types of outer sect disciples. The first type has connections with the Dan Ding Sect's strong figures, such as the relatives and friends of inner sect disciples, elders, and core disciples' descendants.

The second type of outer sect disciples comes from the dozens of countries under the Dan Ding Sect's control. They grow up in the cultivation world and generally have better talent than those from the secular world. Of course, these outer sect disciples also vary; some come from powerful factions, while others are commoners. Different identities mean different treatments.

The third type of outer sect disciples, like Tuo Ba Ye, come from the secular world and have the lowest status.

Duan Chengyuan, seeing that Tuo Ba Ye had no intention of joining Lu Hai City's faction, became furious: "Attack! Give him a good lesson!"

Duan Chengyuan brought over thirty outer sect disciples this time, specifically to teach Tuo Ba Ye a lesson. Some of them were the ones Tuo Ba Ye had disciplined yesterday, but they didn't dare to move. Only those who didn't know Tuo Ba Ye's strength rushed forward and surrounded him.

Tuo Ba Ye didn't want to destroy his medicinal garden, so he walked a few steps to the middle of the path, his spirit soaring: "Come on, if you have the ability, teach me a lesson. If not, get lost!"

Seeing Tuo Ba Ye so fearless, Duan Chengyuan became cautious.

Although he was a Ninth Star Innate Martial God, there were differences among Ninth Star Innate Martial Gods. Some were very powerful, while others were relatively weak.

Duan Chengyuan was a capable subordinate of Lu Hai City and was considered average among Ninth Star Innate Martial Gods.

He couldn't see through Tuo Ba Ye's cultivation level and had learned about the situation that day, so he didn't dare to act rashly. He wanted his subordinates to test Tuo Ba Ye's true strength.

"Tian Tong, you all go too. Can't you handle one Tuo Ba Ye with so many of you?"

Although Tian Tong was somewhat afraid of Tuo Ba Ye, he had no choice but to go.

"Attack! Everyone, attack together!"

Over thirty young men surrounded Tuo Ba Ye.

There were also many new outer sect disciples around, who stopped what they were doing and watched from a distance.

They didn't know Tuo Ba Ye, so they wouldn't help him, let alone take advantage of his situation. Even if they wanted to, they didn't dare to offend Duan Chengyuan and his group.

"Are you all ready?" Tuo Ba Ye asked.

Originally, those around were about to attack, but Tuo Ba Ye's question made them pause, unsure of his intentions.

While they were hesitating, Tuo Ba Ye struck like lightning.

This time, Tuo Ba Ye didn't use martial techniques; he just used lightning speed to attack as quickly as possible.

Each of his strikes was perfectly timed, knocking down his opponents and rendering them temporarily unable to fight.

By the time they reacted, Tuo Ba Ye had already taken down half of his opponents.

"Everyone, retreat and use your essence energy for long-range attacks!" Duan Chengyuan was shocked and quickly shouted.

The strongest among those present were at least Fifth Star Innate Martial Gods, capable of releasing essence energy to form sword and blade auras.

The remaining ten or so strong figures, frightened, kept retreating and then stood in suitable positions to launch long-range attacks.

Sword auras and blade auras crisscrossed, all aimed at Tuo Ba Ye.

Facing such attacks, Tuo Ba Ye didn't need to dodge or avoid; his physical strength alone could easily block them. Not to mention these outer sect disciples, even Qi Refinement Realm experts couldn't harm him.

However, Tuo Ba Ye didn't want to reveal too much, so he didn't directly counter their attacks.

"Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens!" Tuo Ba Ye performed a very exquisite movement technique.

Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens was on par with the Tyrant God Fist, both being top-tier martial arts on the Divine Martial Continent.

When he performed it, it was as if he transformed into a divine dragon, soaring through the nine heavens, visible only in parts.

He easily dodged the sword and blade auras and quickly approached his enemies.

Anyone he got close to was knocked down with one punch, and no one could withstand his attack.

This time, Duan Chengyuan brought two Eighth Star Innate Martial God level strong figures, but they were no match for Tuo Ba Ye either.

When dealing with them, Tuo Ba Ye slightly used some physical strength to defeat them.

In less than three minutes, Tuo Ba Ye had taken care of the remaining ten or so young men.

Duan Chengyuan stood alone at the back, stunned and his face changed: "How is this possible? You just joined the Dan Ding Sect, right?"

"Is it strange for a new outer sect disciple to be strong?" Tuo Ba Ye said calmly. "Only you are left. Hurry up and attack, don't waste my time."

Duan Chengyuan, thinking of his purpose, didn't back down: "Very well, let me see how strong you really are."

He took out a treasure sword, which, though not a spirit weapon, was an Eighth Rank treasure weapon with great power.

Below spirit weapons are treasure weapons, also divided into nine ranks. Ninth Rank treasure weapons are the strongest, while First Rank treasure weapons are the weakest.

Duan Chengyuan had spent a large amount of gold to obtain this treasure sword, which was the reason his strength was in the middle of Ninth Star Innate Martial Gods.

"Die!" Duan Chengyuan performed a high-quality sword technique, which was quite powerful.

The combination of the treasure sword and the high-quality sword technique was astonishing.

Tuo Ba Ye's expression turned serious as he used his divine sense to find Duan Chengyuan's weakness.

Then, he moved at the fastest speed, targeting the weakness and instantly knocked Duan Chengyuan's treasure sword away.

Without his treasure sword, Duan Chengyuan's strength was greatly reduced, making him one of the weakest among Ninth Star Innate Martial Gods.

What frightened him even more was that he couldn't see how Tuo Ba Ye had knocked his sword away.

"You... you..." Duan Chengyuan couldn't speak, he was afraid.

Tuo Ba Ye said coldly, "Leave the treasure sword behind, and take these people away. Go back and tell your boss that if he provokes me again, the consequences will be unbearable."

Duan Chengyuan wanted to retrieve his treasure sword but didn't dare to speak.

Tuo Ba Ye's strength was too terrifying, and he didn't dare to provoke him.

Just the move that knocked his treasure sword away was something Duan Chengyuan couldn't see through or counter.

"We're leaving!" Duan Chengyuan said, gritting his teeth.

This time, they came with so many people but not only failed to get justice but also lost a treasure sword, a huge loss.

Tuo Ba Ye had been very measured in his attacks, not using excessive force, only temporarily incapacitating them, but they could still move.

In an instant, over thirty young men fled, not a single one left behind.

"Amazing! Just joined and already defeated over thirty senior disciples."

"Too amazing!"

Those around were new disciples, many of whom wanted to curry favor with Tuo Ba Ye, but he turned and entered the wooden house to cultivate, and no one dared to disturb him.

However, there was a young boy, about ten years old, somewhat thin, and very handsome. He had arrived at Immortal Cloud Valley a month earlier than Tuo Ba Ye and had been severely disciplined upon arrival, taking over ten days to recover.

Seeing Tuo Ba Ye's strength, he had already made up his mind to follow Tuo Ba Ye.

This thin young boy was named Yang Bin, from a country under the Dan Ding Sect's control. He had no status or identity, but his talent wasn't bad; he just hadn't cultivated for long enough, and his strength wasn't strong enough.

Yang Bin was very smart. He didn't disturb Tuo Ba Ye's cultivation but helped him manage the medicinal garden.

He had been managing the medicinal garden for a month and was quite skilled at it.

"Really stupid, do you think he'll look at you and take you as a follower just because you do this?" A young boy was very dismissive of Yang Bin's actions.

Although he also wanted to become Tuo Ba Ye's follower, he didn't do anything, just waiting for an opportunity.

With someone managing the medicinal garden outside, Tuo Ba Ye naturally knew, but he didn't pay attention.

Tuo Ba Ye practiced the Wood Spirit Technique and Fire Spirit Technique for a while, then began to study the Divine Symbol Path.

With Tuo Ba Ye's current strength, he could only refine First Rank Spirit Symbols.

First Rank Spirit Symbols have only one set of symbol arrays, with limited power.

Tuo Ba Ye refined many First Rank Spirit Symbols and had experience from his previous life, where he had refined Second Rank Spirit Symbols.

However, his current cultivation level was too low, and even using divine sense to directly engrave symbol arrays was impossible because his divine sense cultivation was still far from being able to engrave two sets of symbol arrays in one go.

He studied the Divine Symbol Path not to refine spirit symbols but to cultivate a Divine Symbol Body.

The Divine and Demonic Body was already partially formed, and it would be impossible to make progress in a short time, probably requiring a great opportunity.

Therefore, Tuo Ba Ye planned to first cultivate the Divine Symbol Body to a partially formed state. He was most skilled at refining spirit symbols and had a talent for it. Now, he had obtained the Divine Punishment Jade Symbol, from which he learned the cultivation method of the Divine Symbol Path, making it even easier.

If he could cultivate the Divine Symbol Body to a partially formed state and continue to cultivate it to a fully formed state, it would definitely be easier than cultivating the Divine and Demonic Body to a fully formed state.

He believed that the Divine Symbol Body and the Divine Symbol Path could complement each other, which would be very important for his future development.

Therefore, Tuo Ba Ye focused on studying the Divine Symbol Path, hoping to make some progress in cultivating the Divine Symbol Body, even if it was just to enter the path.

As long as he could enter the path, the next steps would be easier.

The key was that no one had ever cultivated a Divine Symbol Body before, so there was no experience to follow, and entering the path was the most difficult.

Tuo Ba Ye had no good methods, only to continuously cultivate the Divine Symbol Path, strengthen his divine sense, and keep trying, finding ways to make his body capable of engraving symbol arrays.

The body is very different from jade or symbol stones; it's impossible to engrave symbol arrays on it.

Therefore, the body must change to be able to engrave symbol arrays.

How to change?

Tuo Ba Ye didn't know, only to try and find ways slowly.

One failure after another, one attempt after another...

Tuo Ba Ye never thought of giving up. He could have cultivated other divine bodies, such as the Divine Beast Body or the Divine Ghost Body, but he didn't.

"No matter what, I will walk my own path and create the Divine Symbol Body!" Tuo Ba Ye secretly vowed.
