Chapter 28: I Was Actually The Clown All Along

“Eldest Senior Brother, to be honest with you, the cultivation difficulty of the Martial Monarch Realm cultivation technique is really too high. Although I don’t dare to slack off at all, ever since I entered the sect, my cultivation speed has only been relatively fast for the past month. Although my cultivation speed after that still far exceeds my speed when I was in the Imperial Palace, it has gotten slower since the month I first came into contact with the True Phoenix Nine Transformations.”

Yun Lige sighed deeply.

“That’s right. Otherwise, why would it be called a Martial Monarch Realm cultivation technique? Although its upper limit is high, the difficulty of cultivating it far exceeds ordinary cultivation techniques. Master once said that possessing a Martial Monarch Realm cultivation technique is only equivalent to having the basic requirement to step into the Martial Monarch Realm. The rest will depend on one’s hard work and luck!”

After a pause, he continued, “By the way, you haven’t told me what your current cultivation level is.”

“Oh, I’m already at the sixth level of the Spirit Realm.”

Yun Lige: “…”

“What’s wrong? Senior Brother, is it very low?”

“Uh… it’s alright I guess.”

“It’s good that Senior Brother says so. I’ve always been under a lot of pressure. I feel that if I cultivate very slowly, I’ll disappoint Master. By the way, Senior Brother, what’s your current cultivation level?”

“Ah? Me? Uh… I’m actually about the same as you. By the way, I’m going to deliver medicinal pills to Little Junior Brother, so I won’t disturb your cultivation. However, Master also said that cultivation requires work and rest. You need to rest appropriately to prevent your consciousness from being unable to keep up with your cultivation and easily suffer from qi deviation.”

“I see. I’ll remember it. Thank you, Senior Brother.”

Yun Lige nodded and quickly left.

Ji Wuxia sighed from behind and said, “I didn’t expect Senior Brother’s cultivation to advance so quickly. Previously, his cultivation was lower than mine, but now he has already caught up to me and has reached the sixth level of the spirit realm. Looks like I have to work harder.”

Yun Lige, who had not walked far, staggered and almost fell.

His face was already burning red.

“How embarrassing. I didn’t expect junior sister Ji’s cultivation to have actually reached the sixth level of the Spirit Realm. Fortunately, I ran quickly, or else I would have been exposed.”

After leaving Ji Wuxia’s house for a long time, Yun Lige’s expression gradually returned to normal.

“Junior Sister Ji’s talent is really too terrifying. Looks like I should stop lecturing in front of her in the future. Otherwise, it will be too embarrassing if I’m exposed.”

After a pause, he placed his gaze on the back of the mountain. He could clearly sense that someone was cultivating there.

With a smile, Yun Lige quickly ran towards the back of the mountain.

“My new junior brother should be in this direction, right? Junior Sister Ji’s talent is too outstanding so I’m unable to guide her. It shouldn’t be a problem for me to guide this junior brother.”

Soon, Yun Lige arrived at the back of the mountain, under a waterfall.

Under the waterfall sat a handsome and robust young man who was undergoing the impact of the rapid water current.

A faint layer of golden energy appeared on the surface of his body, enveloping him.

With this energy around, no matter how heavily the waterfall attacked, it was unable to affect him at all. In fact, even his hair did not move at all.

“Is this Junior Brother Fang Tianyuan? Looking at the cultivation technique he cultivates, I can already tell that its aura is so extraordinary. Presumably, he should also be cultivating a top-grade Martial Monarch Realm cultivation technique.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Tianyuan suddenly opened his eyes. Two beams of light shot out from his eyes, shooting straight towards Yun Lige.

Yun Lige’s eyes narrowed slightly. The Primordial Chaos Emperor Scripture circulated in his body, and the powerful aura collided with Fang Tianyuan’s aura.

Boom!

The powerful force immediately caused a huge wave to explode from the surface of the water. It soared into the sky and reached a height of 100 meters.

The wave fell and smashed into the pool, stirring up waves that spread in all directions.

“Tsk tsk, not bad. As expected of the disciple Master has taken a fancy to. Just this aura alone is extraordinary.”

“Master?”

Fang Tianyuan raised his eyebrows slightly and immediately understood. He quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands, and bowed slightly.

“Tianyuan greets Eldest Senior Brother.”

Hearing how the other party called him Eldest Senior Brother, Yun Lige’s heart fluttered.

He waved his hand.

“Junior Brother, you’re too polite. Get up.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother.”

“How is it? Is there anything you’re not used to after coming to Zhishui Peak?”

“Eldest Senior Brother, I feel very good at Zhishui Peak. This is the best place I’ve stayed in in the past twenty years.”

Yun Lige smiled and nodded.

“That’s for the best. If you need anything, feel free to tell me.”

“Yes, thank you, Senior Brother.”

“There’s no need to be polite. As the chief disciple of Zhishui Peak, it’s only natural for me to resolve the difficulties for my junior brothers and sisters. These are the Essence Energy Pills Master asked me to give you. I’ll leave 1,500 for you. Use them first. If you don’t have enough, ask me for more.”

Hiss!

Fang Tianyuan gasped.

It was actually Essence Energy Pills. Moreover, there were 1,500 of them. This amount was too heavy. It far exceeded the 6,666 high-grade spirit stones Martial Uncle Li Daoran had given him back then.

Indeed, the Heaven Demon Sect was an extremely powerful sect!

This sect was simply filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. It reminded Fang Tianyuan to also keep a low profile.

Fang Tianyuan received the pills and thanked him. Only then did Yun Lige speak again.

“Junior Brother, you’re new here, so I’m actually not supposed to tell you this. However, I’ll tell you anyway. You have to know that not everyone can enter our Zhishui Peak. To be able to enter and become Master’s disciple is the luck of our eight lifetimes.”

“Senior Brother is right.”

“Therefore, we have to cultivate diligently and not let Master down.”

“Definitely! Ever since Tianyuan arrived at Zhishui Peak, I did not dare to slack off at all. I have been cultivating diligently at all times to repay Master for his kindness.”

Yun Lige nodded.

“That’s right. It’s best if you think that way. What’s your current cultivation level?”

“Senior Brother, I’m currently at the first level of the Mountain and Sea Realm.”

Yun Lige: “???”

Seeing his expression suddenly change, Fang Tianyuan’s mind stirred. He wondered if his cultivation level was too low. However, didn’t Senior Sister’s notebook record that Eldest Senior Brother’s cultivation level was only at the Spirit Realm?

Oh!

Fang Tianyuan suddenly realized that the notes Senior Sister recorded were probably referring to their cultivation in the past. Moreover, everyone had been cultivating a Martial Monarch Realm cultivation technique. Since then, their cultivation level had improved greatly, far surpassing ordinary cultivation techniques. Therefore, at this moment, Eldest Senior Brother might no longer think highly of a mere first level Mountain Sea Realm expert like him.

Thinking of this, Fang Tianyuan immediately stood up and said seriously, “Eldest Senior Brother, although my current cultivation is very poor, don’t worry. I’ll definitely work hard and definitely not disappoint Master!”
