Giving Birth But Not Raising, Why Are You Crying Now That I’ve Become an Immortal Emperor? - Chapter 24 - Chapter 24 – Qin Yao He’s My Son! A Regretful Mother! A Sword That Shakes the Heavens!

Ye Lingyun!

For twenty years, this name has been quietly repeated countless times in Qin Yao’s mind, especially in the quiet moments of the night when she would wake up from a dream!

At this moment, upon hearing these words from her disciple Liu Ruoxue, Qin Yao’s beautiful eyes trembled. Her figure swayed slightly, and a sudden flutter of emotions filled her heart.

“How old is he?”

She fixed her gaze on Liu Ruoxue and spoke again, her heart racing with anticipation, her breath becoming shallow and hurried.

“Brother Ye Tian is about twenty years old now.”

Twenty years old?

Her son is exactly twenty now.

Qin Yao nodded quietly, turning her gaze once more to the young and elegant figure standing below on the stone stage. Her eyes were filled with a complex, unspeakable emotion.

Maybe she should try probing the boy later, perhaps…

At this moment, endless hope rose in the eyes of the Yaochi Saintess, and once again, the accumulated sadness and regret of twenty years surged within her heart.

Her gaze became blurry, but on her peerless face, a soft smile, long absent, slowly appeared.

…

At this time, the two young figures on the challenge stone stage had already started to engage in fierce combat.

However, the one-sided scenario that the surrounding onlookers had expected didn’t unfold.

Li Yang let out a wild laugh, his spiritual power surging around him as he thrust his sword directly forward!

Clink!

The clear sound of the sword ringing out echoed. Ye Lingyun’s expression remained cold. He didn’t avoid Li Yang’s attack but instead extended two fingers to precisely pinch the tip of the sword, effortlessly neutralizing the fierce strike!

“Heh, is that all?”

Ye Lingyun then flicked his fingers, sending the long sword flying away!

Whoosh!

Seeing this, the crowd of onlookers immediately gasped in astonishment, all of them wide-eyed!

“W-what? He neutralized the attack so easily?”

“Oh my God, did I see that right? He only used two fingers?”

“I said, did Li Yang from the Demon God Palace exaggerate his cultivation? Could he actually be a dud?”

“Tsk, are you blind? Can’t you feel the overwhelming divine pressure around him? Clearly, this guy is no slouch!”

“…”

The discussions erupted one after another, with a sense of unstoppable excitement. All eyes turned to Ye Lingyun, their gazes filled with profound shock.

Li Yang, who was ranked among the top talents in the Nine Provinces, was easily countered like this?

What level of cultivation does this young man have?!

At this moment, countless people were frantically speculating about Ye Lingyun’s level of cultivation.

After his attack was neutralized, Li Yang stepped back a few paces, and his once dismissive expression gradually became serious.

His previous sword strike was just a test, but seeing how easily Ye Lingyun had countered it, he felt unexpectedly surprised.

This kid is no ordinary person!

Ignoring the surrounding clamor, Li Yang’s gaze locked tightly onto Ye Lingyun, and he spoke in a deep voice, “I didn’t expect you to have this kind of ability.”

Ye Lingyun’s expression didn’t change, and he calmly replied, “I didn’t expect you to talk so much.”

Upon hearing this, Li Yang’s face darkened, and he said nothing more. His long sword suddenly radiated an extremely sharp sword intent.

Although he was from the Heavenly Dragon bloodline of the demon race, he had an extraordinary natural talent for swordsmanship, which was quite rare among demons.

Despite his youth, his cultivation in swordsmanship had surpassed that of many senior demons.

In terms of sword intent, he had reached the small achievement level.

This level was not only exceptional among demons, but even among the human geniuses of the Nine Provinces, achieving this was quite impressive.

It was thanks to his mastery of sword intent and his cultivation in the Soul Transformation realm that he had been able to make it onto the Nine Provinces list.

He had always been extremely confident in his own strength!

Now, facing Ye Lingyun, who had caught him off guard, his innate arrogance surged like a tide, spreading uncontrollably.

Sensing the immense sword intent emanating from Li Yang, the surrounding discussions started again, “Wait! Is this the small achievement level sword intent?!”

“A demon actually managed to reach this level in swordsmanship?!”

“This demon’s talent is terrifying! I heard many on the Nine Provinces list haven’t even reached small achievement in sword intent.”

“…”

Li Yang gathered his energy, coldly staring at Ye Lingyun, then shouted, “Watch my sword!”

As soon as the words left his mouth, he stomped his foot, and his figure shot into the air. His long sword pointed at Ye Lingyun, and he struck with all his might!

Boom!

The sword intent roared, and a hundred-foot sword aura condensed into a tangible form, unleashing a fierce sound as it sliced through the air!

The sword’s force howled, its momentum overwhelming, threatening to level the entire mountain peak!

On the high platform, the two sisters, Liu Ruohong and Liu Ruoxue, who had been closely watching the situation, clasped each other’s hands in a state of panic.

Beside them, Qin Yao gripped her hands tightly. Her eyes trembled slightly, and she focused intently on Ye Lingyun, who was standing right beneath the terrifying sword aura.

In her dantian, vast spiritual energy began to quietly surge.

“Boom!!!”

The sword aura swept across the sky, its overwhelming power descending, as if to destroy everything on the stone stage.

The dark, ink-like sword aura grew larger in Ye Lingyun’s eyes, but he remained steady, not moving an inch. He raised a finger and pointed upwards!

Vajra Indestructible Mantra!

With his motion, dazzling golden light suddenly erupted from his body, forming a solid golden shield above his head. A powerful protective aura spread outward.

Boom!

The hundred-foot sword aura struck the golden shield with a deafening crash, sending a violent spiritual storm in all directions.

The golden light grew brighter, and the sword aura within it gradually dissipated, finally turning into a faint hum before vanishing completely.

Throughout it all, Ye Lingyun hadn’t moved a single step, standing firm like a mountain!

“This is impossible!”

Suspended in mid-air, Li Yang’s eyes widened to the extreme. His heart surged with disbelief.

How is this possible?!

This kid actually managed to block my full-force sword, enhanced with my sword intent, and came out unharmed?!

But what happened next left him even more shocked!

Ye Lingyun’s body began to radiate an even more profound sword intent.

The aura was like a brilliant sun, clearly the sword intent at the Perfection level!

The sword intent surged, like a dragon awakening from slumber. With a mighty swing, Ye Lingyun, holding the Red Melody Sword, slashed with an explosive force!

Boom!

The hundred-foot sword aura soared into the sky, its murderous intent filling the air!

Li Yang’s eyes bulged wildly, his face turning ashen with shock and terror!
