Chapter 144: The Surprise of the Elders!_2 |
The man was taken aback, “Half a year? He has become this formidable after just half a year in the sect? He can manage to kill several disciples of the Sunset Sect.”
“No kidding, three months ago, he defeated Zhou Tuo, the Eighteenth Prince of the Qianyuan Kingdom who was at the sixth level of Meridian Opening Realm when he was just at the fourth level. Now, he’s probably at the fifth or sixth level of that realm. His capabilities are not to be underestimated!”
“That’s amazing!” The man was visibly stunned and shocked.
At this moment, Kong Nian laughed and said, “Oh, none of you is up to speed! Let me show you something.”
All the eyes in the room were immediately drawn to Kong Nian.
“Are we falling behind? Did he make a significant breakthrough or something while I was out? Has he broken through to the sixth or the seventh level of the Meridian Opening Realm?” someone asked in anticipation.
Kong Nian shook his head, “Here, see for yourselves. It’s something that just happened.”
He waved his hand.
A light curtain instantly appeared in front of everyone.
When Liang Qiu formed hand seals to cast the “Cold Dragon Sky Soar”.
Someone immediately shouted, “That’s Liang Qiu at the Spiritual Sea Realm! She actually has to use the Cold Dragon Sky Soar to defeat Jiang Yuan?”
“What on earth is Jiang Yuan’s realm, that he’s compelling the Enforcement Hall’s Liang Qiu to this point?”
The next moment, after witnessing Jiang Yuan’s unstoppable might, crushing the ice giant with his formidable physical body and holding Liang Qiu in his hand as if he’s lifting a chick, the entire hall was filled with shock.
“This… How is this possible!”
“We’ve seen another legend today, after the drought of over thirty years, a legend has emerged in our Supreme Mystery Sect again!”
“With such performance, he can be called the greatest genius of our Supreme Mystery Sect!”
While everyone was astonished, someone sighed, “It’s a pity that the reason for his impressive performance is his reliance on body cultivation. After all, it’s a small path. If he cannot continue enlarging his physical body, his advantage will only become smaller and smaller in the future!”
Following these words, some nodded in agreement, “In the way of cultivation, other than the starting point, the importance of the physical body lessens as one advances further. In the Spiritual Sea Realm, where the spiritual power is vast like the sea and can break mountains with a single blow. In the Divine Bridge Realm, the moment the Divine Bridge opens, his speed won’t amount to one-tenth of ours. Solely relying on physical strength, he won’t even be able to touch us!”
“And in the Dharma Realm, if one can condense a dharma-nature, possibly even that of an ancient deity, how can a mere physical body resist.”
“And if we talk about what’s beyond, it’s not worth mentioning. If one wanted to become an Immortal in ancient times, they had to abandon their physical body to condense an Immortal Body.”
These words instantly doused the excitement in everyone’s hearts, especially considering that Jiang Yuan was not a disciple of their own line.
If everyone agreed that he had the potential to become a legend, they would certainly propose cultivating him as the highest level genius.
Just like the disciple from Heaven Lead Peak thirty years ago.
At that time, to cultivate him, many peaks had donated numerous resources.
In the end, they gained no benefits, and due to his fall, attracted criticism and complaints from below.
Who could bear watching the majority of their own cultivation resources divided and given to others?
Kong Nian wasn’t bothered to say more, nor to clarify Jiang Yuan’s tenth level of Meridian Opening Realm.
Just his achievement of breaking through from the ninth level of the Body Forging Realm to the tenth level of Meridian Opening Realm in a little over half a year startled everyone.
Moreover, this indicates that his divine soul is inherently strong, otherwise how could he swiftly break through to the tenth level of the Meridian Opening Realm.
In his eyes, both Jiang Yuan’s physical body and divine soul are exceptionally strong, ranking top two in the history of the Supreme Mystery Sect.
Only that individual who had extraordinary enlightenment could challenge him for the top position.
He clearly understood their concerns. It was the flaw of the Supreme Mystery Sect being divided into seven veins.
They were not united and more concerned with their own territories.
Even Lu Qingshan, who held the title of the Sect Leader, didn’t have the ultimate say. Major decisions had to be made by summoning all the Chiefs of different peaks and grand elders to a meeting.
Kong Nian then redirected the topic, “We were all called here today by the Sect Leader not to discuss Jiang Yuan, but instead to discuss how to deal with the Sunset Sect.”
“In no more than three years, or even less, the Qianyuan Imperial Family will start attacking all the major sects within its borders, to clear them all!”
“To the Qianyuan Imperial Family, our sects are all tumors, if they can clear or suppress us, the qi movement of the Qianyuan Kingdom could rise by at least fifty percent!”
“So… ”
Before Kong Nian could finish, someone interjected, “Scared? I don’t believe the Qianyuan Kingdom is that strong enough to fight all the immortal sects! Let alone relocating our ancestral lands, it’s impossible!”
“Exactly! It’s certain that the Qianyuan Kingdom is stronger than our Supreme Mystery Sect, but once they move, we won’t be their only target.”
“Indeed! Keep in mind, several sects that are stronger than us, with experienced masters at the Dharma Realm. How can they conquer them!”
Lu Qingshan interrupted their angry remarks, “We’ll discuss the issue regarding the Qianyuan Imperial Family later. The crucial issue right now is how to deal with the Sunset Sect.”
“The genius disciples of our sect who have fallen over the years, after many years of investigations, all point towards the Sunset Sect.”
“Including the legendary disciple from the Sunset Peak thirty years ago.”
“This time, Jiang Yuan and the others had just exited their cultivation chambers when they were attacked by a strong elder from the Sunset Sect!”
“Without Uncle Master Kong’s presence, Jiang Yuan and the others would have been in great danger!”
At this point, Chief Mu, who had been listening quietly for a long time, suddenly spoke.
“If our sects go to war, the consequences will be severe. If the situation escalates, it will undoubtedly result in a pyrrhic victory. After suffering losses in strength, not to mention the Qianyuan Imperial Family, other sects will swallow us whole!”
