Chapter 53

"Human Emperor Peak?"

"Sure, I do have some matters to attend to. After I'm done, I'll go find Senior Sister. Perhaps... I'll give you a surprise."

Ye Han spoke with a smile, his tone somewhat enigmatic.

After bidding farewell to Gu Yunzhu and Mo Qingrou, Ye Han headed straight for Human Emperor Peak.

Human Emperor Peak, one of the main peaks of the Academy's "Six Paths"!

To think that not long after joining the Human Path, Ye Han was sent to the Netherworld Realm for three months.

As a successor of the Human Path, he had never been to Human Emperor Peak.

As Ye Han made his way to Human Emperor Peak, he noticed that the Academy was much busier than before.

A few months ago, it was rare to see inner disciples, but now he could often sense the aura of inner disciples at the Qi Explosion stage.

Even more, occasionally, some disciples emitted auras that were unfathomable and incredibly powerful, impossible to discern, likely the mysterious true disciples.

These changes were probably due to the Academy's grand assembly that had started in the past two days.

Ye Han had learned about the Academy's grand assembly from the Tai Xu Secret Record. It was a competition and battle among the Academy's disciples, with rich rewards for the winners, and it also offered hope and a starting point for some to truly rise.

As Ye Han moved forward, many disciples gathered to watch. The events on Netherworld Peak had already spread throughout the Academy before he set out.

These people gathered and even followed him, but they didn't seem to have any ill intentions, purely out of curiosity.

Ye Han didn't mind these gazes, walking with a confident and imposing demeanor.

Although he was still an outer disciple, his current confidence and resolve were such that many high-ranking inner disciples couldn't match him.

"Nie Yuan, He Qingfeng, Zhao Yijian?"

"You three, it's been a while."

Ye Han suddenly saw them and waved to greet them.

The three people, seen by Ye Han, walked out with a bitter smile.

Even the talkative Nie Yuan lost his usual casualness, showing some fear: "Greetings, Senior Brother Ye Han!"

"Hmm?"

"Do I look that terrifying? Why are you three looking at me like that?"

Ye Han laughed, patting their shoulders, showing familiarity.

"Don't call me Senior Brother, we're all friends."

"Alright!"

Seeing Ye Han's attitude, Nie Yuan and the others relaxed a lot.

"Recently, no one has been causing trouble, right?" Ye Han looked at the three and asked.

"No!"

Nie Yuan and the others almost spoke in unison.

"That's good, otherwise, I'd feel guilty."

Ye Han touched his nose: "I have some important matters to attend to at Human Emperor Peak. I'll come find you after I'm done?"

"Sure, Ye Han, be careful. We heard that some people are targeting you, like Yin Tianxiu and some big shots from the Wuji Sword Sect, who seem to have returned." Nie Yuan looked around, speaking cautiously when mentioning Feng Wu Liang.

"I'm not afraid of them!"

Ye Han winked before leaving: "Whoever dares to bully us, we'll beat them up. Lu Yunxiao is a good example."

"Huh?"

The three were taken aback, not expecting Ye Han to be so relaxed.

"I told you, Ye Han isn't that kind of person."

After Ye Han left, He Qingfeng glared at Nie Yuan.

"Right, Ye Han hasn't changed, but our mindset has. No matter what, the three of us need to seize the opportunity, get rid of our miscellaneous duties, and advance to outer disciples as soon as possible." Zhao Yijian also spoke.

Human Emperor Peak!

The peak stood tall, with an incredibly rich concentration of elemental energy.

Countless lush trees towered, and countless medicinal plants were cultivated, emitting various fragrances that invigorated the mind.

Ye Han was somewhat surprised; this was the first time he encountered such a treasure mountain in the Academy.

The resources accumulated in this peak were unimaginable, enough to make anyone envious, truly worthy of being the main peak of the Human Path, one of the Six Paths.

Others couldn't enter freely, but Ye Han had no such restrictions.

Under the intense and envious gazes of many, Ye Han extended his palm and fingers, using the Nine Heavens Dragon Control Technique to instantly generate the unique aura of the Supreme World-Shocking Technique, and injected it into the teleportation array at the base of Human Emperor Peak.

In three breaths, Ye Han disappeared without a trace, instantly teleported to the peak.

Looking around, the sky was vast and the clouds ethereal, with almost no peaks in the eight directions that could match Human Emperor Peak, giving a sense of looking down on all the lesser mountains.

"What a unique will!"

Ye Han couldn't help but speak to himself.

He sensed a faint will lingering in the sky, like a royal, imperial, or divine will.

Ye Han knew very well that such a will could greatly benefit any martial artist on Human Emperor Peak, especially in enhancing their own beliefs, with unimaginable benefits.

Various buildings were neatly arranged ahead, each with its own style.

The most prominent was the Human Emperor Hall!

Ye Han headed towards the Human Emperor Hall, and after a moment, he could already hear some commotion.

The Human Emperor Hall seemed to have many people, quite lively.

"The Human Path has long declined, and it hasn't been abolished only because of historical reasons."

"But the old must be phased out. It can't keep monopolizing the name of the Human Path. Li Futu, have you thought it through?"

As Ye Han approached, such voices came from the hall.

"You're being too hasty."

Inside the hall, Li Futu's voice came: "The Six Paths competition hasn't started yet. We can discuss other matters after the results are clear."

"The Six Paths competition, what about your Human Path disciples?"

"Are you, Li Futu, going to take the lead in the Human Path?"

Such voices came from inside the hall, with a sneer, mocking and ridiculing.

Li Futu fell silent, speechless for a moment.

Above the hall.

Li Futu sat in the central throne, his cold eyes scanning the few people present: "Our Human Path has already established a successor."

"Successor?"

"Is the Human Path Master referring to Ye Han?"

A young man's voice appeared, with a hint of mockery: "A minor at the Third Level of Divine Power?"

"Martial Dao reaches the heavens, not to be judged by initial realms."

"The future of the Academy's Six Paths is still unknown. You, a young man from the Demon Emperor Path, are being too boastful."

Li Futu seemed to be conversing with the young man, not angered by the ridicule, perhaps already accustomed to it.

"Am I being too boastful?"

"Master Li doesn't have to put up such a front. If you really lack people, our Demon Emperor Path can lend you two to save face, to avoid embarrassment in the Six Paths competition."

After the young man spoke, the hall erupted in laughter...

"Disrespectful and lacking in manners, truly a fool from the Beast Path."

Suddenly, a voice from outside the hall made everyone fall silent.

All eyes focused as the hall doors slowly opened, and Ye Han walked in step by step.

"Looking for death, daring to insult our Demon Emperor Path!"

Inside the hall, a young man in white robes burst with aura, his face ashen.

"Isn't it just the Beast Path? What's the talk of insult? Are people from the Beast Path all so hypocritical now?"

Ye Han glanced at him, his tone calm and composed.

He scanned the people in the hall, then bowed to Li Futu above: "Greetings... Master!"

"Who are you?" The young man in white robes stared at Ye Han.

"What kind of ox or horse are you?" Ye Han raised an eyebrow.

"I am Liu Chengping, a disciple of the Demon Emperor Path."

"Entered the martial path at six, reached the Divine Power stage at ten, the Ninth Level of Divine Power at fifteen, and broke through to the Qi Explosion stage at seventeen."

The young man in white robes spoke proudly, head held high.

"I am Ye Han, just killed six Qi Explosion stage martial artists."

Ye Han's gaze was cold, his eyes deep and boundless.
