I Just Want to Live a Good Life But I Surpassed the Protagonist – 34 The Longest Path is Routine
Tianluo Sect, a very famous top sect in the Great State of Ping.
It was also one of the important sects in the lower realm in the early stage of the novel. It hid many ancient secrets.
Although the Tianluo Sect on the side of the Great Zhou Dynasty was only a branch and not the real main sect, it also had hidden dragons and crouching tigers. There were several Void Cave experts, and a Great Ascension expert in charge. Apart from encountering those ancient and hidden families, they were almost invincible.
The main sect of the Tianluo Sect was even more powerful. It had ten Half Saints and three Saints.
What was a Saint? A cultivator who was about to transcend the tribulation and possessed the qualification to become a celestial being.
If one calculated a thousand years as an era, there would be countless cultivators in each era, but only a few could become Half Saints or Saints.
However, because Saints were very long-lived and had a lifespan of ten thousand years, their numbers were still quite large after accumulating from era to era.
After all, becoming a celestial being and ascending was not something that could be done just because one wanted to. Heavenly tribulations were no joke.
After penance (meaning bitter, meaning suffering) for thousands of years, one would end up being struck to death (struck to death) by thunder. Wouldn’t that be a tragedy? Therefore, the vast majority of Saints were accumulating strength, waiting until they were confident enough to ascend.
As for those who were not very confident, they would not give up just like that because once they grew to become Saints, their lifespan would no longer increase. If they wanted to continue living, they had to ascend. They were all waiting, hoping that the laws of heaven and earth would change in the future, such as the heavenly tribulations becoming weaker.
However, in the past 100,000 years, no one had been able to ascend to become a celestial being. No one knew what the problem was.
Of course, Ye Yong knew what the problem was because he had read the novel. Although it had been so many days, Ye Yong knew that this was reality, which could be changed. It was not like a novel that would remain the same once it was written. However, the overall setting was still exactly the same.
To put it simply, a world-shaking war had occurred 100,000 years ago. The Heavenly Dao was damaged, and it was unable to connect to the Immortal Realm normally. However, when the protagonist became a Saint, he would naturally solve the problem of being unable to ascend.
The current plot was only the beginning of the novel. Ye Yong would not think too much about the events that were only mentioned in the middle of the novel for the time being. As for the protagonist, Long Tian, let alone Saints, he had not even seen a few Nascent Soul cultivators. It was still too early for him to reach that realm.
According to the inertial theorem of novels, when the protagonist was in a certain realm, there would be an enemy that suppressed his realm. Once the protagonist broke through, a new enemy that suppressed his realm would appear.
The longest path that the protagonist walked was the routine of the author.
It was a pity that even if Ye Yong knew the routine, there was nothing he could do because he had transmigrated into a world with the same setting as the novel. It was destined that the development of the plot would largely follow the novel, which was a continuous routine.
Fortunately, Ye Yong was not the protagonist. Otherwise, if he thought about the various enemies and dangers that would appear in the future, he would probably be annoyed to death.
“Little Xue, you still need to practice this Cloud Dispelling Saber Technique. It’s not even considered getting started at the moment.” Ye Yong was currently in the courtyard, checking on the profound-level martial arts technique that Wu Xue had learned in the past few days.
The Cloud Dispelling Saber Technique was one of the 38 profound-level techniques that Ye Yong had found in the Dharma Hall previously. With the help of the AFK System, he had already cultivated it to the point of being extremely skilled .
Even though Ye Yong had never practiced or used this Cloud Dispelling Saber Technique before, the details and techniques related to it were deeply imprinted in his mind. If he were to perform a set now, he would be able to achieve the effect that others had spent years practicing hard (meaning bitter, meaning suffering) to achieve.
There was no other way. Ye Yong, who had the AFK assist, was like a black-hearted boss. He did not do anything and only waited to squeeze the results of his employees.
However, Wu Xue was different. She did not have the AFK assist, so she could only comprehend it step by step.
“Young Master, I’ve never practiced martial arts techniques before. Is it too much for you to ask me to learn a profound-level martial technique right away?” Wu Xue wiped the sweat off her small face. She also wanted to perform well in front of Ye Yong, but she just could not use the Cloud Dispelling Saber Technique smoothly.
Besides, why did the young master want her to practice with a saber? Why not other weapons? She had never held a saber before.
“You have more potential than you think…” Ye Yong had just finished speaking when he suddenly thought that the current Wu Xue was already different from the one in the novel. She had not experienced the suffering( bitter meaning bitter, meaning suffering ) of being beaten and tortured by ‘Ye Yong’, so her mind was not tenacious enough. She did have a desire to become stronger, but it was not as strong as the one in the novel: “Let me teach you. First, start with your posture.”
Ye Yong walked behind Wu Xue, held her arms with both hands, and then adjusted her posture: “First, like this…”
“Ah? How?” Wu Xugen had no way to concentrate, because she could feel the young master’s temperature behind her, and his exhaled breath was sprayed on her head, making her scalp numb and her whole body hot.
Ye Yong taught her again, feeling that Wu Xue shouldn’t be so stupid. He turned his head to look at her face, and sure enough, she was distracted by shyness.
“Xiao Xue.” Ye Yong deliberately said in a low voice: “If you can practice the Paiyun Swordsmanship to the 3rd level within two hours, how about I give you a reward?”
“What reward? A weapon?”
“Don’t you already have a weapon?” Ye Yong was a little speechless. Was this a complaint about the breakthrough reward he gave earlier? What’s wrong with the Profound Level 3rd Grade knife? Do you want the Saint Level Dragon Spear?
“This reward is that I will tell you a story.”
“What story?”
“A story you’ve never heard before.”
“Oh.” Wu Xue was not very interested.
“Do you want me to hold you while I tell it?”
Wu Xue’s eyes lit up instantly: “Young Master, it won’t take two hours, I can definitely practice to the 3rd level within one hour. You can just sit by the side.”
Just kidding, the longer she practiced the sword, the more it would delay her time with the young master. She didn’t want that.
So a slender girl was waving a long knife in the yard.
Ye Yong also simply sat in the pavilion and drank Ling tea.
Since Wu Xue had become different from the one in the novel, she could not be asked to meet the standards in the novel. The current Wu Xue was just a young girl, and she used to be a sickly young girl. No matter how strong her heart was, she definitely wanted to act coquettishly. Her mother was missing, and her relatives were too heartless, so the only person she could act coquettishly to was definitely Ye Yong.
What? Some people think he did it on purpose to take advantage of her?
How is that possible! How could someone like Ye do such a thing! This is clearly a reward! It’s what Wu Xue wanted!
Ye Yong tried hard to convince himself.
In fact, the sentence “Do you want me to hold you while I tell it?” was a bit of a test, but he didn’t expect it to arouse Wu Xue’s enthusiasm.
It seems that the favorability of 87 is not just high for show.

Qin Family, Qin Shimeng’s exclusive retreat room.
After a burst of strong spiritual energy, the stunning woman sitting in the center of the formation opened her eyes.
“Crystallization Layer 1 Consummation Peak, almost at Crystallization Layer 2.” Qin Shimeng exhaled, both happy and nervous: “Is such a fast cultivation speed a good thing or a bad thing?”
Looking inside her dantian and Qi sea with her Divine Consciousness, she saw the eight Spirit Crystals and the ninth one that was about to be formed. Her mood was a bit complicated.
Without the Ice Heart Jade Body Immortal Technique and Crystallization Auxiliary Stone given by Ye Yong, Qin Shimeng knew that she would definitely not be able to reach this point.
“I wonder how he is doing. Tomorrow is the day when the Tianluo Sect opens its sect. It should be fine, right?”
Although Ye Yong had said not to worry about him, Qin Shimeng couldn’t help but worry. What if Ye Yong’s cultivation couldn’t keep up and he wasn’t selected?
She opened the retreat formation. Just as Qin Shimeng was about to go out, her personal maid knocked on the door: “Miss, I have some news that might be good for you.”
“Tell me.” Qin Shimeng felt a little strange. Good news is good news, and bad news is bad news. How could there be such a saying?
“That is, the Ye Family’s Young Master Ye Yong actually didn’t self-waste his cultivation, he just practiced a special Breath Concealing Technique to hide his cultivation! He is still at Foundation Establishment Layer 7!”
Hearing this, Qin Shimeng couldn’t help but reach out and touch the necklace hanging on her neck.
Yes, since Ye Yong gave her this magical necklace, he must have something else to hide his cultivation.
But what was his purpose in hiding his cultivation?
Qin Shimeng was a little puzzled. She always felt that Ye Yong was not hiding his cultivation at that time, but had really self-destructed it.
But if he had self-destruction, how could he have reached Foundation Establishment Layer 7 again in just over 2 months? This speed is too terrifying!
Thinking of the Ice Heart Jade Body Immortal Technique given by Ye Yong, Qin Shimeng felt that it was not impossible.
She became more and more curious about Ye Yong.
