Unrivaled Medicine God, page 138
Under everyone's eyes, Ye Yuan started advancing towards the Sixth Level Spirit Condensation Realm.
After an hour, Ye Yuan broke through to the Sixth Level Spirit Condensation Realm successfully. This was also within everyone's expectations.
However . . . it was not over yet!
Chapter 279. Uninvited Guest! |
Ye Yuan previously broke through three minor realms in one breath on the Nine Heavens Road. At that time, it amazed everyone in the Dan Wu Academy.
But compared to now, that time did not even count as anything.
The difficulty of raising a minor realm in the Spirit Condensation Realm was more than ten times harder compared to the Essence Qi Realm!
But even so, Ye Yuan still went and did it without any hesitation.
To him, there was no so-called bottleneck. Furthermore, the current Ye Yuan had already comprehended the elementary form of supreme true intent and also comprehended the transmission true intent.
Consecutively breaking through three minor realms was no longer considered much to Ye Yuan.
One had to know that the vast majority of martial artists in the Endless World would never be able to comprehend a type of true intent throughout their entire lives. From this, it could be seen how high the starting point for true intent was.
But the way others saw it, this was completely not the case.
"This . . . Is he breaking through to the Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm already? Is there a mistake?"
"Since when can breaking through realms be done in leaps and bounds like this?"
"This is not a minor realm! Ye Yuan, he's breaking through from middle-stage Spirit Condensation Realm to late-stage Spirit Condensation Realm directly! Although Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu and the rest emphasized on perceiving concepts, to let them break through in full force, it's also impossible to be like Ye Yuan, right?"
It was no wonder that they were amazed. For normal breakthroughs, it would probably take several months' time even for geniuses like Tian Yu and Ti Wujiu.
Breaking through like Ye Yuan, first, let's not talk about whether they would be stuffed to death by the essence energy storm. Even if they broke through realms, they would probably spend even more time to consolidate it.
This way, the losses outweigh the gains.
. . . . . .
At this precise moment, a disciple reported to Luo Qingfeng. "Sect Master, an envoy has arrived from the Heavenly Sky Sect! H-He already arrived at Victory Peak!"
Luo Qingfeng frowned and said, "Why are you showing such misconduct? Do you still need me to teach you all this?"
When visiting other sects, most would wait for the host in the main hall and only meet after the disciple reported it. There was absolutely no such logic as roaming wildly.
The Heavenly Sky Sect's envoy's actions were showing extreme impertinence to the host.
When Luo Qingfeng heard that the Heavenly Sky Sect's envoy had already arrived at Victory Peak, his first reaction was naturally that the reporting disciple was insensible and directly brought the person over here.
That disciple said aggrievedly, "I asked the envoy to wait in the main hall for me to report to the sect master, but he followed here right away! He even said . . . even said . . ."
"Said what?"
"This disciple dare not say."
"I asked you to say, so say it. What are you stammering for?"
The disciple gritted his teeth and said, "He said that our Tranquil Cloud Sect is only slightly stronger than second-rate sects and is simply undeserving of the title of one of the Eight Great Sects. The Heavenly Sky Sect is the leader of the Southern Domain's great sects. As the Heavenly Sky Sect's envoy, having a look around is giving us Tranquil Cloud Sect face! I . . . I was afraid . . . so I brought him here directly."
The disciple was filled with righteous indignation when talking. It was apparent that he was filled with pent-up anger.
Xiao Jian flew into a rage when he heard that and said, "Heavenly Sky Sect is really going too far! Sect Master, in my view, just drive him out directly! Provoking our Tranquil Cloud Sect like this, we have the moral high ground no matter where we go!"
The disciple also had a face full of righteous anger by the side. He was clearly very much in agreement with Hall Head Xiao's opinion.
Earlier, that envoy's high and mighty appearance nearly made him give him a slap across the face.
But Luo Qingfeng was not as agitated as Xiao Jian. He said to the disciple, "Didn't he come with you? Where is he?"
"The envoy seemed to have seen something interesting just now at the plaza, so he stayed. This disciple was afraid that I would bungle matters, so I rushed over to report to sect master," the disciple said.
Luo Qingfeng's expression already returned to normal currently. He nodded and said, "You did pretty well. I'm the one who wronged you. Bring me to see this envoy."
"Sect Master! We've already suffered enough of the Heavenly Sky Sect's bullying these few years. Now, even a measly little envoy dares to ride on top of our heads to take a dump!" Xiao Jian said indignantly.
Luo Qingfeng looked at Xiao Jian and said with a sigh, "While it is of a noble character to die in glory rather than live on in dishonor, in my position, I must make considerations for the sect's future! Regardless of whether it's Ye Yuan, Ti Wujiu, or Tian Yu. They are all the sect's future! And our mission is not to show bravery for a moment, but to ensure the growth of these geniuses!"
Xiao Jian's gaze turned intent as he said, "But . . . the Heavenly Sky Sect is too much of a bully! Even a puny little envoy dares to strut around in front of us now; let alone others! We're at least the upper echelons of a sect, there's no need to grovel before an envoy, right?"
Luo Qingfeng's face fell, and he said, "Xiao Jian! You're too naïve! In the martial arts world, it has always been the strong who reigns supreme! Don't you have even this bit of understanding? Dignity isn't given to you by others, but it's you who award it to yourself! If you and I have the strength of Soul Sea Realm, why would we need to adapt to their mood? Now that several fine saplings have finally appeared in our sect, they mustn't be ruined in our hands!"
Luo Qingfeng's words made Xiao Jian unbelievably dejected.
It had always been the strong who reigned supreme in the martial arts world. Weaklings were only eliminated and not sympathized.
The Heavenly Sky Sect was powerful, that was why their sect members dared to be so unbridled!
Although Xiao Jian's way of doing things could obtain a momentary comfort, the aftermath would be too serious.
Once they were given a handle, the Heavenly Sky Sect might just use it as an opportunity to start a sect war with the Tranquil Cloud Sect!
In that case, the consequences would be serious!
This was not raising a false alarm. The Heavenly Sky Sect's wild ambitions were already laid bare in the open. Initiating a sect war was a possibility.
With the Heavenly Sky Sect's strength, the Tranquil Cloud Sect would be hard-pressed to escape the fate of having the sect annihilated.
The disparity between the number one great sect and a bottom-tier sect was seriously too great!
In the Heavenly Sky Sect, just the Soul Sea Realm powerhouses numbered quite a few! While the Tranquil Cloud Sect only had Skymaple this one Soul Sea Realm powerhouse.
Grand Elder Skymaple was even just an alchemist. His combat power was negligible.
With such a great disparity, the Heavenly Sky Sect being somewhat arrogant was within reason.
As the master of a sect, Luo Qingfeng naturally could not be like Xiao Jian when considering problems. He had to consider the big picture.
Especially after watching the fight earlier, Luo Qingfeng was even less willing to start a fight with the Heavenly Sky Sect easily.
As long as Ye Yuan could rise rapidly, what did the Heavenly Sky Sect count as?
Before the wings were fully feathered, forbearance was very necessary.
Before long, the disciple led Luo Qingfeng and Xiao Jian to see the Heavenly Sky Sect's envoy.
"Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang Yu, Sect Master Luo has arrived," the disciple introduced.
The envoy shot a casual glance at Luo Qingfeng but did not have the slightest intention of greeting. His gaze returned to Ye Yuan who was currently breaking through.
His haughty manner was completely unmasked!
"Sect Master Luo, is there a need for so many people to surround and watch a puny little Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist breakthrough? When did your Tranquil Cloud Sect fall to such a plight?"
The envoy watched Ye Yuan who was sitting cross-legged, his words filled with mockery.
The envoy was a young man around 18 or 19 years old but already had a cultivation of Fourth Level Crystal Formation Realm.
Such an age, such strength, placed in the Tranquil Cloud Sect, it was absolutely the status of a personal disciple!
Except, the first sentence when meeting him made people very displeased.
Chapter 280. Cutting In! |
Luo Qingfeng did not get angry. He just used a very peculiar expression to look at this young envoy.
When the envoy saw that Luo Qingfeng had no reaction after a long time, he involuntarily became secretly displeased.
When the envoy turned around and saw Luo Qingfeng's expression, he could not help being stupefied. He asked in puzzlement, "Why? Did I say it wrong? Could this Spirit Condensation Realm fellow have anything special?"
"Haha, not really all that special. It's just that he just obtained victory and had some comprehension during the fight, so he took advantage of the opportunity to break through. That's why there are so many people surrounding and watching," Luo Qingfeng explained with a smile.
The envoy had a disdainful look when he heard that. "If I didn't see wrongly, this boy seems to have gotten first place?"
As he was talking, he shook his head and said pityingly, "Your Tranquil Cloud Sect is really declining with the passing of time. A Sixth Level Spirit Condensation Realm boy can actually obtain first place in the sect grand competition. What a joke!"
Xiao Jian was originally standing by the side patiently. When he heard such words, he immediately wanted to step forward and lose it but was held back by Luo Qingfeng.
"What? Hall Head Xiao seems to have some disgruntlement with me! Come, come, come! Just come! As long as you're not afraid of my master coming over to take revenge!"
Seeing Xiao Jian's furious appearance, the envoy did not know what was called fear. Instead, he brought out his own master, and his arrogance became even more inflated.
Luo Qingfeng was actually already furious to the limit in his heart, but as the sect master, he had no choice but to suppress this anger.
This envoy clearly recognized him and Xiao Jian, but they had never met him, so they naturally did not know which mighty deity his master was.
"Xiao Jian, you withdraw first!"
"Sect Master!"
"Withdraw!"
Xiao Jian gritted his teeth, flicked his sleeves and left.
Seeing Xiao Jian leave, Luo Qingfeng turned around and asked, "Your master is?"
When the envoy saw that Luo Qingfeng did not even dare to let out a fart, he became even more pleased with himself secretly. That head of his was raised until it was about to reach the skies.
"My master is Chi Zongtao. I am master's personal disciple, Li Zhangyu," Li Zhangyu said with a proud beam.
Luo Qingfeng naturally would not make a fool of himself in front of a junior, but he was alarmed in his heart.
Of course, he knew this Chi Zongtao. He was one of the grand elders of the Heavenly Sky Sect: a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse!
Weighing things this way, this punk was the same generation as him?
No wonder this punk dared to be so insolent. Turned out that he actually had such a backing.
Pressing down the unhappiness in his heart, Luo Qingfeng asked, "What did your honored sect send you here for?"
Li Zhangyu said, "Of course, it's for something good! But this matter will have to wait for later. Right now, I just had a sudden burst of inspiration and feel like I'm about to break through realms right away. This place is pretty good. I'm going to break through here!"
Finishing, without even waiting for Luo Qingfeng to agree, he scurried over to not far from Ye Yuan with a flash.
Luo Qingfeng's expression changed. It was already too late to try and stop this. Li Zhangyu's essence energy storm had already started to gather.
The two essence energy storms converged together very quickly. If Luo Qingfeng made a move to disrupt Li Zhangyu's breakthrough, it would definitely also interrupt Ye Yuan's breakthrough!
Luo Qingfeng gnashed his teeth in hatred. Looks like this Li Zhangyu was spoiled rotten by Chi Zongtao. He was actually so willful when doing things.
How was this Li Zhangyu going to break through? This was clearly him wanting to smack Tranquil Cloud Sect's face!
This Li Zhangyu was at Fourth Level Crystal Formation Realm strength. Now, he was going to break through to the Fifth Level Crystal Formation Realm. But Ye Yuan was only breaking through to the Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm. How could he compare to Li Zhangyu?
The essence energy storm momentum would surely be devoured cleanly if Ye Yuan broke through beside a Fourth Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist!
Li Zhangyu had wicked thoughts. This was him wanting to make Ye Yuan fail his breakthrough by breaking through himself at the same time!
Once Ye Yuan failed his breakthrough, Tranquil Cloud Sect would have lost face completely!
Moreover, failing the breakthrough this time would surely cast a very large shadow on Ye Yuan. Wanting to break through again would no longer be that easy!
Li Zhangyu was evidently a clever person. Although Luo Qingfeng spoke vaguely earlier, he also guessed that Ye Yuan must have some aspects surpassing others.
Furthermore, to be able to obtain the number one in the grand competition with Sixth Level Spirit Condensation Realm strength, regardless whether it was the Tranquil Cloud Sect lacking successors or not, Ye Yuan unquestionably had some saving graces.
Sweeping away the Tranquil Cloud Sect's face in public and also ruining the Tranquil Cloud Sect's genius disciple and even spreading the fame of the Heavenly Sky Sect. It was truly killing three birds with one arrow!
When Luo Qingfeng thought up to here, he was so enraged that his complexion turned green, but he was powerless to do anything.
Li Zhangyu might be arrogant, but he also indeed had the capital to be arrogant. The essence energy storm was gathered casually. This unhurried manner was ample to show his might.
When martial artists broke through realms, which one of them would not make ample preparations?
Li Zhangyu did it on the spot. Clearly, he was full of confidence. That was also to say, breaking through to the Fifth Level Crystal Formation Realm was not even considered much to Li Zhangyu.
Such boldness, among the younger generation in the Tranquil Cloud Sect, there was simply no one like it.
Luo Qingfeng finally just let out a sigh. Now, in this kind of situation, Ye Yuan could only count on himself.
Or perhaps, Ye Yuan could create a miracle.
If it were another person, Luo Qingfeng might just really move to stop this. But Ye Yuan could never be measured using common sense.
Some things that would never happen to others became uncertain with Ye Yuan.
After all, there was simply no martial artist who grasped true intent in the Southern Domain.
Ye Yuan was the sole person!
In a blink, storms raged in the entire plaza. The two essence energy storms towered to the skies and meshed together.
Initially, Ye Yuan's essence energy tempest was already very exaggerated. But Li Zhangyu's essence energy storm was more than a level stronger.
Li Zhangyu was a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist. The commotion when breaking through was obviously different.
With a fellow suddenly popping out to breakthrough, they naturally got a feast for their eyes.
"Who's this person? Why have I never heard that we had such a senior apprentice brother?"
"What's this person trying to do? Why does he have to squeeze with Ye Yuan if he wants to break through and not find a place to enter seclusion?"
"The situation is not quite right! This person is a Crystal Formation Realm martial artist. The essence energy tempest that he created is so powerful! Essence energy storms are originally used to plunder the surrounding essence energy for one's own use. The essence energy storm that he created is already starting to pillage Ye Yuan's!"
"Ye Yuan's in danger! If his essence energy storm is looted, then his hope of breaking through to the Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm will be dashed to pieces! There might even be the danger of cultivation realm falling!"
"What kind of mysterious person this is? Such a powerful aura! A Fourth Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist's breakthrough actually has such great commotion!"
Many people started to worry for Ye Yuan. Compared to a stranger, everyone naturally hoped for Ye Yuan to breakthrough.
Except, everyone sensed that the essence energy storm on Ye Yuan's side was becoming increasingly weaker. Ye Yuan's breakthrough also fell into a precarious situation, as if there would be signs of stopping at any time.
If Ye Yuan and Li Zhangyu competed in supreme true intent, these Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples would absolutely not worry for him.
Ye Yuan had grasped true intent. Forget that Li Zhangyu was just at Crystal Formation Realm, even if he was at the Sea Transformation Realm, or even the Soul Sea Realm, they did not think that Li Zhangyu could win.
But they were breaking through cultivation realms currently, seizing essence energy.
This way, Ye Yuan's true intent would not come in handy at all. Instead, his cultivation realm became his greatest disadvantage.
