Chapter 102: High-Profile!
Li Ran hadn’t even left Demon Peak when he met Grand Elder Sun Wei.
Elder Sun frowned. “Sheng Zi?”
“Elder Sun.” Li Ran nodded.
Elder Sun asked curiously, “You came so early to pay your respects to the Sect Master?”
It was indeed a little early. Even the breakfast time had not passed.
Li Ran nodded. “Last night, I broke through, so I came to report to Master.”
“Broke through?” Elder Sun stared blankly at him.
Li Ran’s eyes shone with a profound light, his qi was much thicker than before!
Elder Sun’s heart skipped a beat as she asked, “Sheng Zi, your current cultivation is…”
“Theoretically speaking, it should be at the early Nascent Soul Realm,” Li Ran said casually.
“Early Nascent Soul Realm?!” Elder Sun was completely numb.
“If I remember correctly, didn’t you just break through to the late Golden Core Realm before you left the mountain? Just how long had passed!” She could not believe it.
Li Ran sighed. “That’s right. I didn’t expect to break through while soaking in the bath.”
Elder Sun was speechless. “……”
Cultivation was like sailing on a boundless ocean.
The difference in cultivation realms could not be calculated.
It was extremely difficult to break through, especially for two thresholds.
One was the Foundation Establishment Realm.
This signified that cultivators were beginning to withdraw from the mortal world, and had officially entered the path of immortality.
The other was the Nascent Soul Realm.
Breaking the Golden Core to become an infant.
Seeking one’s true nature, transforming one’s primordial spirit, and understanding one’s nature.
The Nascent Soul was a dividing line.
Only by crossing would one transform their primordial spirit and have a chance of becoming immortal.
This wasn’t something that could be done by talent alone.
Luck, effort, and opportunity were all indispensable.
Despite many geniuses being stuck in this stage, they could be stuck in Golden Core for the rest of their lives.
Even Lin Langyue had been stuck at the perfection stage of the Golden Core Realm for more than half a year, and she still hadn’t found the slightest opportunity.
However, Li Ran had actually broken through during a bath?
If this matter were to spread out, the geniuses would probably fall silent when they heard it. If the Goddess heard it, she would definitely cry!
Elder Sun said cautiously, “Sheng Zi, can I see your cultivation base?”
“Of course.” Li Ran’s qi surged and his clothes fluttered.
The sand and stone powder beside him floated, transforming into a smooth sphere in the air, completely flawless.
Elder Sun’s eyes brightened as she said excitedly, “This qi density and control undoubtedly belongs to a Nascent Soul practitioner!”
“Sheng Zi is truly a genius that is rarely seen in ten thousand years. In time, he will definitely reach the peak!”
“My Youluo Temple will definitely become the number one sect in the Vast Land!”
She really wasn’t exaggerating.
Although Li Ran was only at the early Nascent Soul Realm, his cultivation speed was shocking. If he could grow smoothly, he would definitely become a big shot!
Li Ran cleared his throat. “Elder Sun, I want to keep a low profile.”
“High profile, high profile!” Elder Sun smiled and said, “The Righteous Path has been fighting for too long. It’s time for our sect to display our skills!”
Seeing her excited expression, Li Ran suddenly regretted telling her about this.
Bai Yunfeng…
Deep in the clouds, the Tianshu Institute’s courtyard.
Lin Langyue sat cross-legged in a clean courtyard.
Her Daoist robe was still not dyed in fine dust, and her eyes were as clear as a mirror as if they could reflect through one’s heart.
A junior sister beside her asked, “Chief Lin, why do you think the Sect Master wants to withdraw the kill order?”
Yesterday, Yi Qinglan had withdrawn her order to kill Li Ran.
Correspondingly, the Youluo Temple had canceled its war status and stopped hunting disciples of the Tianshu Institute.
This matter seemed to have ended just like that.
Lin Langyue’s eyes flickered for a moment before she quickly calmed down. “Master’s right. We shouldn’t let our fellow disciples die for such a small matter, nor cause a battle between the Righteous Path and Devil Path.”
The junior sister shook her head. “This isn’t a small matter. You’re the future head of the sect. You’re the face of the Tianshu Institute, and you got pinned to the ground… Ahem, this is a slap to the face of the sect!”
Lin Langyue shook her head. “If we lose, we lose. If we don’t let go, it’ll make us feel like we can’t afford to lose.”
“Could it be that we’ll let that Devil off just like that?” Her Junior Sister said angrily.
“Who said we let him go?” Lin Langyue’s eyes narrowed. “I’ll defeat him in my own way!”
Li Ran was indeed very strong.
However, the reason why she had lost so miserably was mainly that she had been caught unprepared.
That endless stream of methods and martial techniques’ offensive might had directly brought her into a state of constant resistance.
However, Lin Langyue had yet to display her true strength.
“This time, my Dao Heart has been damaged, and my strength has fallen from perfection. However, with Master’s Clear Heart Curse, I should be able to recover.”
“As long as I can breakthrough from the Golden Core Realm, Li Ran is nothing to be afraid of!” Lin Langyue was filled with confidence.
At this moment, a female disciple pushed open the courtyard door and ran panting.
“Chief Lin, something big has happened!” Lin Langyue frowned. “Let’s talk about it. Why are you so flustered?”
The female disciple calmed down for a moment and said, “Just a moment ago, the outer sect sent back news that the Sheng Zi of Youluo Temple, Li Ran, has broken through!”
“What?” Lin Langyue’s eyes widened. “He broke through?”
The female disciple nodded. “Li Ran broke through the Golden Core Realm and reached the Nascent Soul Realm!”
Lin Langyue was stunned.
A pair of dark red eyes suddenly appeared in front of her, as well as that savage beast-like attack… Fear spread in her heart.
Pu!
Her throat turned sweet as she spat out a mouthful of blood.
The junior sister immediately panicked. “Someone, come quickly. The Chief is spitting out blood!”
Lin Langyue reached out to stop her and wiped the blood off her lips. Her expression was complicated but firm.
“Help me to see my master. I want to enter the ‘Death End’!”
Mount Wushan, Joyous Unity Sect.
Qin Ruyan was shocked. “Headmaster, is what you said true? Did that devil really broke through?”
Liu Xunhuan nodded, “Li Ran is already a Nascent Soul cultivator, the youngest Nascent Soul cultivator in the entire Vast Land!”
Qin Ruyan’s throat became somewhat dry.
An eighteen-year-old Nascent Soul… Was there really such a genius in this world?
The ravine in the path of cultivation seemed to not exist for him!
Liu Xunhuan replied, “Once this child gets the opportunity to grow, the Youluo Temple will be unstoppable.”
“Then shouldn’t we do something?” Qin Ruyan asked.
“It’s almost time for the Frost Origin Festival. I’ve prepared some spirit treasures. Go to Mount Xuanling and deliver them to Leng Wuyan,” Liu Xunhuan said.
“Give her a gift? She did not even admit that she was a demon. She even threatened you…” Qin Ruyan was confused.
Liu Xunhuan rolled his eyes at her, “Do you think I want to? That Leng Wuyan is already a pervert. Now that a little pervert has appeared, she might act even more perverted in the future!”
“Let’s take advantage of this opportunity to please them, lest they turn hostile in the future!”
Qin Ruyan was speechless.
“You’re really cowardly.”
“What the hell do you know? This is a great plan!”
