Chapter 143: The Surprise of the Elders! |
A moment later, everyone had dispersed, leaving only Jiang Yuan and his two companions.
Jiang Yuan casually gathered a wave of Luck Power from Gu Mo and Shu Xiaoxiao.
In an instant, the Luck Power had reached 1316 strands, only a third short of the next target of 2000 strands.
Seeing the Luck Power on his Status Panel, Jiang Yuan instantly felt regret.
He had secretly cultivated there for more than three months, wasting at least five or six hundred strands of Luck Power from Shu Xiaoxiao alone.
However, considering his current strength, Jiang Yuan felt it was still worthwhile.
Although innate Luck Power is vital, representing future potential and foundation.
Nevertheless, the cultivation realm is even more important. Without an adequate realm, regardless of how against-heaven one’s innate Luck Power is, it would just be so-so.
He actually possesses a very strong innate divine ability now, which is the Yin and Yang Qi nurtured in his pupils.
This is the innate divine power that comes with double pupils.
The Human Emperor mentioned in the ancient books had once demonstrated this innate divine power.
With just one move, he gravely injured a true immortal who had descended from the upper realm, thereby establishing his reputation for inverse-slaying true immortals.
It was then that the name of the Human Emperor echoed throughout the universe, deterring the Five Realms and the Four Seas.
From then on, even if immortals descended to this world, they had to bow to him.
Jiang Yuan could feel that he was likewise nurturing this innate divine power in his eyes.
However, with his current cultivation, he simply couldn’t use it.
If he leaked even a strand of divine power, it would completely drain all his energy, including the source of his life.
Therefore, the cultivation realm is the root of all things.
At this moment, Gu Mo came over.
“Young Master, I need to go now! I originally thought that my strength could be of some use, but unexpectedly, the gap between me and the Young Master is getting wider.” His tone was somewhat depressed.
Jiang Yuan chuckled: “You’re already very strong. In just a few short months, you’ve broken through to the Fourth Layer of the Meridian Breaking Realm, and you nearly killed an old pro at the Ninth Layer of the Meridian Breaking Realm with just one sword. That’s enough to amaze anyone. I’m different from you!”
Jiang Yuan took another look at his panel.
[Name]: Gu Mo
[Realm]: Fourth Layer of Meridian Breaking
[Innate Luck Power]: Sword God Potential (Purple), Divine Soul Accomplished (Green), Roughly Understands Blade Technique (White)
Jiang Yuan was somewhat admiring Gu Mo in his heart.
With such a status panel, being able to practice to the Fourth Layer of Meridian Breaking in a few short months was evidence of his diligence.
His sword intent had become so strong, it amazed even Jiang Yuan.
Such a powerful sword intent, coupled with the advancement of his realm, will eventually reach the point where it forms a field.
This was why Kong Nian said that his breakthrough into the Divine Bridge Realm was a matter of inevitability.
Only those like him, who are extremely dedicated to the sword, are naturally born as sword cultivators.
He’s different from me; even if I practice the sword, it’s just a tool for killing enemies. I couldn’t achieve such a state of obsession with the sword like him.
It’s no wonder that Mo Ye, the spiritual weapon in his hand, would choose him and not me as its master.
Now, Jiang Yuan has understood how extraordinary Mo Ye, the weapon in his hand, is.
Spiritual weapons are superior to treasured weapons.
Even if it’s a treasured weapon with nine arrays of banned rules, it’s far inferior to a spiritual weapon.
This was also what Kong Nian had once told him.
If his weapon is seen by a great cultivator, it might bring about a disaster that would cost him his life.
At this moment, Gu Mo bowed and said, “Young Master, today I didn’t provide much help, even less than Shu Xiaoxiao. I’m going to go back and practice in isolation now so that I can be more useful next time!”
Seeing Gu Mo’s serious face, Jiang Yuan broke into a happy smile.
Who wouldn’t love to have such a loyal subordinate?
Although he had done a great deal for him, there are many people in this world who do not return favors.
Those who can do what Gu Mo did are few and far between; thus he was not reluctant to reward him.
At this thought, Jiang Yuan said, “Wait!”
Gu Mo immediately stopped: “What is the Young Master’s command?”
“Take this and eat it!”
After saying this, Jiang Yuan tossed out a green fruit.
Gu Mo reached out to catch it, immediately looking puzzled: “Young Master, what is this?”
“A Bodhi fruit, it can greatly enhance your comprehension. It will be of great help to your cultivation journey!”
Upon hearing this, Gu Mo gave a respectful bow: “Thank you for the gift, Young Master!”
Holding the Bodhi fruit in his hand, he slowly walked towards the distance.
Today, after realizing the gap between himself and the Young Master, he felt an intense desire for strength.
At this moment, Shu Xiaoxiao took out a coat and draped it over Jiang Yuan from behind.
“Young Master, it seems like I’ve attracted some trouble for you again!”
Jiang Yuan chuckled: “It’s inevitable that there will be some people who are out to get us, don’t worry about it.”
The two walked towards the interior of the mansion.
…
The Qingyun Palace.
Not only is it the residence of the Sect Leader of the Supreme Mystery Sect, but it’s also where meetings are held.
All the Elders and Chiefs had gathered in the Qingyun Hall at this moment.
As Lu Qingshan appeared, the palace door slowly closed.
At this moment, even a great cultivator at the Dharma Realm who came to the Supreme Mystery Sect could not peek into what was happening inside the palace.
Seeing the slowly closing palace door, someone curiously asked, “What is the Sect Leader’s sudden summons about today?”
“Elder Huang, there’s no need to be impatient!” Lu Qingshan laughed.
Then he turned to Kong Nian and said, “Uncle Master Kong, you explain it.”
Kong Nian nodded, looked around the room, and slowly recounted everything he had seen and heard during his three-month journey.
This included slaying an elder of the Sunset Sect with his own hands yesterday.
After Kong Nian finished, the entire hall fell into silence, quiet for a few breaths.
After they digested the big news.
Then someone asked, “Who is Jiang Yuan? Why haven’t I heard of him?”
Another elder chuckled, “Brother Jiang, of course you don’t know. You’ve been in seclusion for eight months, and he’s only just joined the sect around half a year ago!”
