"Master, this stone door won't open, please hurry and do something."
The disciples came to Ye Yun, complaining.
"Alright, you should also gain more understanding of formations."
Ye Yun had the female disciples watch from behind while he stood before the stone door. He activated his Divine Eye, instantly pinpointing the formation's core.
Black and white patterns converged towards a central point on the stone door, which was precisely the eye of the formation.
"Ah!"
Ye Yun's eyes narrowed. He gathered his sword qi and pointed it towards the formation's eye.
This single glance startled the elders of the Tianlan Domain in the outside world, as Ye Yun's sword qi was directed precisely at the formation's eye.
"No way, he found the eye of the Taiji Liangyi Formation in such a short time?"
"It's not just a short time anymore. He just glanced at it, and it was as if the formation's eye was right in front of him, with no hidden secrets at all."
"What is this kid up to?"
The elders of the Tianlan Domain were more astonished than one another. Ye Yun had only just broken through to the Main God level; was his adaptability that strong?
The other powerful beings watching outside the barrier from various worlds couldn't understand what was happening.
However, among them were also half-step Main God level experts. Although their talent was average, they still possessed experience and cultivation.
"This formation is the legendary Taiji Liangyi Formation. Ye Aotian's eyesight is too sharp. Did he really find the formation's eye?"
The powerful beings concentrated intently, not daring to miss any information, and stared fixedly at Ye Yun within the secret realm.
"Sizzle, sizzle!"
Suddenly, Ye Yun's sword qi was fully condensed and aimed at the formation's eye. With a strike, it was unleashed.
The sword qi contained the True Flame Sword Intent. Upon striking the formation's eye, the yin and yang energies of the Taiji Liangyi Formation instantly became unbalanced.
On the stone door, the patterns continued to materialize, and the formation could no longer be concealed.
"He actually forced out the formation! The Taiji Liangyi Formation itself can consume energy that enters it through the power of yin and yang. If he hadn't struck the formation's eye, he wouldn't have been able to force out the formation."
"This Ye Aotian is simply divine."
"Was our choice wrong?"
Everyone could sense that the Lord of Tianlan Star had set up a barrier, and their communication with the people of the Tianlan Domain was cut off. Now, they dared to speak their minds more freely.
Within the secret realm, all the patterns on the stone door flashed and appeared, and then the yin and yang seal between the two doors materialized, slowly opening.
"Master, you're so powerful!"
The disciples cheered. The formation they couldn't open with all their might was easily handled by Ye Yun, opening perfectly.
This vast difference made the female disciples realize the gap between themselves and their master even more, and they needed to cultivate diligently.
"You really are something, Ye Aotian."
Song Ziyue also smiled at Ye Yun, expressing her amazement.
"Let's go. Let's see what divine artifacts there are. Everyone can pick one."
Ye Yun waved his hand, and the women followed him into the divine artifact display hall.
Upon entering the cave, golden light illuminated the space, and the power of divine artifacts blended together, stirring everyone's hearts.
"Master, these divine artifacts are all of very high grade."
"Indeed. Therefore, I will help you appraise them. Find divine artifacts that suit your cultivation techniques."
"Thank you, Master!"
The disciples chatted and laughed with Ye Yun. In reality, Ye Yun wanted to use the gifting method to trigger the system's return.
With so many divine artifacts, he was sure to receive many good things in return this time.
Ye Yun's eyes scanned the surrounding divine artifacts and he instantly selected a sword.
"This Sun Moon Sword, both are sixth-tier divine artifacts. Lingyi, Lingxin, you sisters come here."
"Yes, Master!"
Chen Lingyi and Chen Lingxin walked over. Ye Yun held the two swords and placed them in their hands.
"Thank you, Master!"
"Understand these two swords well and unify your minds with them. Your strength will surely soar."
"Understood, Master."
The two sisters nodded slightly and then happily walked away.
"Xiaoxiao, this jade knife is exquisite and crystal clear, also a sixth-tier divine artifact. Come here."
"Master."
Bai Xiaoxiao walked to Ye Yun's side and gently touched the jade knife, appearing very satisfied.
"Xiaoyao, this Hun Tian Ling is incredibly tough and agile. It's a fifth-tier divine artifact. It's for you."
"Thank you, Master."
Ye Yao received the Hun Tian Ling and held it with immense fondness.
"Xueyan, Xiaowei, you two come here."
"Master, it's finally our turn."
Fang Zhiwei pulled Lin Xueyan and walked towards Ye Yun.
"These two swords, one is a seventh-tier divine artifact, for Xueyan. This one, a fifth-tier divine artifact, for Xiaowei."
"Master, the eldest sister gets a seventh-tier divine artifact, and I only get a fifth-tier one. I'm not convinced!"
"You little rascal, the divine artifacts I'm giving you are the most suitable. If you want this seventh-tier divine artifact, that's fine too, but your growth in strength will only be half of what it could be. You probably won't be able to control this seventh-tier divine artifact."
"Ah? So that's how it is. Then I'll still take the fifth-tier divine artifact."
Fang Zhiwei wisely accepted the fifth-tier divine artifact. If her strength couldn't be perfectly enhanced after obtaining it, then a higher-tier divine artifact would be useless.
"Xiao Ai, Xiaomeng, come here."
Ye Yun picked up a trident and placed it in Xiaomeng's hand.
"This trident is an eighth-tier divine artifact. It will significantly boost the effectiveness of your Sea God's power."
"Thank you, Master."
Xiaomeng smiled and left, hugging the trident.
Xiao Ai looked curiously at Ye Yun, wanting to know what divine artifact he would give her.
"Xiao Ai, this ninth-tier divine artifact is for you. Only your Heavenly God-level cultivation can control it."
"Okay, Master!"
Xiao Ai's eyes lit up. Finally, she had obtained a ninth-tier divine artifact, which was even more powerful than the eighth-tier divine artifact she received in the last competition. It was truly marvelous.
"Alright, now I'll give you half an hour to 'get acquainted' with your divine artifacts. Understand their characteristics, and only then can you unleash their full potential."
"Yes, Master!"
The women sat down to meditate and sense their divine artifacts.
"What about us then?"
Song Ziyue looked at Ye Yun and questioned him with a playful pout, as she and Xing Meng were still standing aside.
"You can pick for yourselves. Aren't there still some left?"
"Ye Aotian, you really have it in you. You're so good to your disciples, yet so stingy with us?"
"You are all adults. You must not be laughed at by my disciples."
Ye Yun pointed towards his disciples. As expected, Fang Zhiwei and the other female disciples looked at them with meaningful smiles, as if watching a good show.
"Good for you, Ye Aotian. You're impressive."
Song Ziyue pulled Xing Meng and walked towards the display hall, no longer arguing.
"Heh heh!"
Ye Yun chuckled inwardly. These two "old witches," he'd let them have a taste of being outsmarted.
He himself went to a secluded spot to await the system's reward.
