[Your good friend Xing Hongxuan is being hunted down by the Jade Pure Sect and was severely injured. She managed to escape by luck.]
[Your good friend, Xing Hongxuan, is being hunted down by her fellow disciples and was lucky enough to counterattack.]
[Your good friend Xing Hongxuan betrayed the Viridescent Nether Cult and is being hunted down.]
[Your good friend Xing Hongxuan’s favorable impression of you has increased to 4 stars.]
Han Jue was speechless.
That’s very unfortunate of her.
The most ridiculous thing was that for the past few years, Xing Hongxuan was getting more affectionate of him.
They didn’t even meet again!
A woman’s heart is like an underwater needle.
I can’t get it.
Han Jue took a closer look. No one on his list had any progress in their cultivation.
This is great.
First, he set a small goal to surpass Fairy Xi Xuan.
Han Jue closed the attribute panel and continued cultivating with a high spirit.
…
Three years later.
Han Jue’s fire cultivation potential had reached the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
The Thunder Spiritual Pool had a much higher density of Spirit Qi than out here. So, his cultivation had been slower.
At this rate, he would need another twelve years before he would reach the third level of Foundation Establishment Realm for his other four types of spirit energy.
Anyway, he could live for 187 years now. There was ample time!
“However, if I cultivate all six types of cultivation potential to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, I’ll probably come very close to the end of my lifespan.”
Han Jue thought silently.
Cultivating all six elements would take six times longer than if he only cultivated one.
The Thunder Spiritual Pool came to Han Jue’s mind.
It seemed like he had to make use of these spiritual pools.
In the Jade Pure Sect, other than the Thunder Spiritual Pool, there were other spiritual pools. There were a total of eight attributes. The other two attributes were metal and ice.
The Jade Pure Sect was indeed very resourceful.
This was good too. Han Jue didn’t need to change sects.
Several days later.
A bell suddenly rang on Jade Serene Peak.
Han Jue opened his eyes and stood up immediately.
Once the bell rang, it meant that Fairy Xi Xuan was summoning all the disciples.
This was the first time in the many years he had been here he was summoned.
“I hope it’s not something troublesome. I still want to continue cultivating.”
Han Jue thought silently.
After walking out of the cave abode, he bumped into Chang Yue’er.
“Junior, long time no see. Hey! You’ve reached the Foundation Establishment Realm?” Chang Yue’er greeted him with a smile. Then, her eyes widened.
She was only in the second level of the Foundation Establishment Realm and couldn’t see through Han Jue’s cultivation level, but she could feel that Han Jue’s spiritual power was very strong, far beyond what Qi Refinement Realm cultivators could radiate.
Han Jue smiled humbly. “I was just lucky.”
Chang Yue’er was secretly shocked.
Could Junior have surpassed me?
No!
I have to hurry up and cultivate. I can’t lose to my junior.
[Chang Yue’er’s favorability towards you has decreased. Current favorability: 1.5 star.]
Han Jue was confused.
What the hell?
Did I say something wrong?
Chang Yue’er chuckled as she brought Han Jue up the mountain as if nothing had happened.
Along the way, they met other disciples of the Jade Serene Peak. Han Jue was the youngest and had to address everyone as a senior.
Different from what he had imagined, there were other male disciples in Jade Serene Peak as well. There were quite a number of them, and all of them looked imposing.
There was approximately an equal number of male and female disciples.
Reaching Jade Serene Hall’s gate, they knelt and waited patiently.
During this time, Han Jue was sized up by the others.
The female disciples all smiled at him.
But no one developed a favorability towards him.
These disciples had already cultivated here for many years, unlike Chang Yue’er who had only joined the Jade Serene Peak a few years earlier than Han Jue.
More and more disciples arrived.
When the gate opened, Han Jue counted fifty-six disciples in total.
Even the most downtrodden Jade Serene Peak had so many disciples, let alone the other peaks.
Most of the disciples were stronger than Han Jue, so he couldn’t see through their cultivation.
After entering the hall, Han Jue made sure he was at the back.
As the junior, he naturally had to be ranked last so as to avoid offending some petty seniors. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Mats had already been placed in two rows within the hall, allowing the disciples to sit facing each other.
Han Jue sat at the back, facing Chang Yue’er.
She winked at him like a child.
Childish!
Han Jue quietly raised his middle finger.
Chang Yue’er didn’t understand this gesture. She thought it was a secret signal and also pointed her middle finger at him.
“…”
At this moment, Fairy Xi Xuan spoke. “Sect Master has just made a decision. In the upcoming inter-peak sparring competitions, the three peaks ranked last will each choose ten disciples to go fight against the Viridescent Nether Cult. All these years, the Viridescent Nether Cult has been sending spies to scheme against our Jade Pure Sect. Sect Master is prepared to counterattack.”
Han Jue observed the others’ expressions and realized no one was panicking.
Eh?
Isn’t Jade Serene Peak ranked one of the lowest?
Han Jue had always thought Jade Serene Peak was the weakest peak.
Liu Sanxin, the First Disciple, smiled and said, “Master, although we aren’t that outstanding, we have always been in the top ten. Don’t worry.”
The other disciples agreed.
“No matter how low profile we are, it’s impossible for us to be at the bottom.”
“The Viridescent Nether Cult is getting really rampant.”
“I heard that there are many spies of the Viridescent Nether Cult in the outer sect.”
“We have to be careful when recruiting new disciples. The Cult’s spies don’t even cultivate fiendish techniques.”
“We should have dealt with the Viridescent Nether Cult long ago. Every time I go out to train, I will meet their pompous disciples.”
Han Jue listened in silence.
Fairy Xi Xuan said, “I’m naturally not worried about the ranking. However, this also means that the Jade Pure Sect and the Viridescent Nether Cult will fight sooner or later. So, take up missions regarding the Viridescent Nether Cult from now on. Although we keep a low profile, we should still contribute to the sect.”
The disciples nodded.
“Han Jue.” Fairy Xi Xuan suddenly called out.
Han Jue hurriedly got up.
The other disciples looked at him.
“You reached the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm from the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm in just a few years after entering the peak. Seems like you’re a genius,” said Fairy Xi Xuan with a smile.
Hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed.
The speed of progression was unbelievable.
Han Jue replied, “I was just lucky…”
Master, I don’t want to be high-profile.
“Recently, the sect has come up with a nurturing program that targets the most outstanding geniuses of each peak. They will be groomed together and will become the trump cards of the younger generation of the Jade Pure Sect. I would like to recommend you,” said Fairy Xi Xuan with a smile. The way the disciples looked at him changed.
Han Jue immediately knelt and said in fear and trepidation, “Master, I don’t want to go. I don’t deserve it! I only want to stay on Jade Serene Peak and cultivate in peace. I don’t want to fight for fame and fortune. Furthermore, I’m new here, I should leave such an opportunity to my seniors!”
It’s definitely a trap!
Han Jue knew what was going on.
Even if he was really a top-notch genius, he didn’t have the qualifications.
To become a core disciple of the sect right after entering. How can it not be a trap?
Is Fairy Xi Xuan testing me?
If he was a spy from the Viridescent Nether Cult, he would definitely seize this opportunity.
“Really?” Fairy Xi Xuan narrowed her eyes.
Han Jue nodded and said, “Absolutely!”
Fairy Xi Xuan nodded.
Han Jue heaved a sigh of relief and sat down.
The stares of the other disciples softened.
[Liu Sanxin has a good impression of you. Current favorability: 1 star.]
I knew it!
The First Disciple wants to go!
It would be a huge embarrassment for the First Disciple if he weren’t given this chance.
Fairy Xi Xuan looked at Liu Sanxin and said, “It should be you, then. You’re the first disciple of Jade Serene Peak. Don’t cause trouble.”
“I understand!”
Liu Sanxin smiled, and the other disciples congratulated him.
