Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Three Disciples Breakthrough Simultaneously! (Monday’s extra)
Yue Country, Hanlin Academy, a gathering of Great Confucians, at least cultivators of the Confucian Dao in the Golden Core Realm, could be considered Great Confucians.
Mo Huazhi had been cultivating in the Hanlin Academy for three years, vindicated the Mo Family, and with her Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, her reputation soared in the Hanlin Academy of Yue Country.
Today, Mo Huazhi and the Grand Scholar, head of the Hanlin Academy, were engaged in a debate at the academy, attracting the Great Confucians of Yue Country to observe.
“Who would have thought that a descendant of the Mo Family could, at such a young age, debate with the Grand Scholar who is at the Dao Palace Realm and attempt to establish her own doctrines? We old folks who have been practicing for a hundred years are truly ashamed.”
“The ancestors of the Mo Family in heaven must be without regrets now.”
“Wait, it looks like she has had a sudden enlightenment!”
The Great Confucians noticed that Mo Huazhi’s aura was rapidly climbing; after establishing her own doctrines in Yue Country, Mo Huazhi had a sudden enlightenment, her holy voice thundered, challenging the Dao Palace Realm.
“Not even thirty and already at the Dao Palace Realm, could she be the Wenchu Star descended to earth?”
“Her backer is one of the Supreme Elders of Mount Shu, we must not disturb her breakthrough, or our entire Hanlin Academy will not bear the wrath of the Supreme Elder from Mount Shu.”
“Who would have thought that there might arise a Literary Sage from the Mo Family!”
The Great Confucians of Yue Country were astounded. Mo Huazhi was not even thirty years old, and she was already at the Dao Palace Realm in her cultivation of the Confucian Dao. In comparison, the Great Confucians who had been practicing for over a hundred years felt deeply ashamed.
A figure of pure and unmatched beauty appeared on the pavilion of the Hanlin Academy, her clear skin glistening, walking gracefully as if stepping on ripples, her gown trailing dust, accompanied respectfully by the leading figures of the Hanlin Academy.
The Holy Maiden of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion arrived, and the Great Confucians of the Hanlin Academy, at both the Dao Palace and Nascent Soul Realms, were extremely respectful.
The Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, being one of the six major sects and the support of Yue Country, held a status for the Holy Maiden even higher than that of the Emperor of Yue Country.
Lu Changsheng anticipated that his third disciple was going to make a breakthrough, so he used the Technique of Ten Thousand Li Tracking to send forth a wisp of spiritual energy to reach Cloud Dream Pavilion on Misty Peak, which was Xia Ningxue’s cultivation cave, to ask Xia Ningxue to act as protector for his disciple.
Since Yue Country’s imperial city was close to Misty Peak, people from the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion could arrive in Yue Country’s imperial city in an instant, which was much more convenient than Lu Changsheng personally making the trip.
“Elder Lu’s disciples are truly peerless geniuses, this person might have the Body of the Literary Sage.”
Xia Ningxue, as the Holy Maiden of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, had access to all the sect’s scriptures and knew that the special physique called the Body of the Literary Sage could trigger the phenomenon of holy voice thundering during a breakthrough.
“The Body of the Literary Sage!?”
Several leading figures of the Hanlin Academy were greatly shocked.
The Body of the Literary Sage was exceedingly rare; It was the special physique that all cultivators of the Confucian Dao dreamed of.
Yu Xuanji, the Temple Master of the Hidden Dragon Temple, had the Body of the Literary Sage; she was unmatched in her talent and possessed unfathomable cultivation.
Mount Shu, Fire Lotus Peak, Lu Qinglian, with her Martial King Divine Physique, was absorbing the Power of Earth Fire, using the Earth Fire to temper her body as well as cultivate her Fire Lotus True Qi.
Lu Qinglian’s talent was no less than that of Lin Qingzhi or Mo Huazhi, yet her current level of cultivation seemed slightly behind, mainly because the dual practice of martial and cultivation demanded a lot of time and energy.
The advantage was also evident, once Lu Qinglian’s Martial King Divine Physique reached minor completion, there would be few in the Dao Palace Realm who could kill her.
“My cultivation of the Fire Lotus True Qi is almost complete, it is time to challenge the Dao Palace Realm.”
Lu Qinglian summoned a Flying Sword and returned to Qingyun Peak.
On Qingyun Peak, Lu Changsheng had prepared a Qi Gathering Formation and a protective barrier in advance, allowing his second disciple, Lu Qinglian, to make an all-out effort to challenge the Dao Palace Realm.
Furthermore, Lu Changsheng had readied a medicinal pool prepared from Fire Attribute Elixir Pills, so that as soon as Lu Qinglian broke through to the Dao Palace Realm, she could undergo body tempering.
The Martial King Divine Physique, at its minor accomplishment, was already comparable to an Innate Spirit Treasure.
“Lian will be able to help Master in the future.”
Lu Qinglian entered the Qi Gathering Formation, took a sixth-grade elixir pill, the “Soul Nourishing Pill,” sat down to meditate, and began to assault the Dao Palace realm to assist Lu Changsheng as soon as possible.
Once she reached the Dao Palace realm and the Martial King Divine Physique was at minor accomplishment, coupled with various magical artifacts and talismans, she could play a significant role.
Above Qingyun Peak, countless red lotus phenomena appeared; the surrounding sea of clouds seemed to change into a sea of fire, forming fiery-colored whirlpools that rapidly gathered toward the center, Qingyun Peak.
“Lian, utilizing the Power of Earth Fire in her cultivation, has forged Fire Lotus True Qi that is truly formidable. If we were at the same level, I might get injured by it.”
Lu Changsheng, witnessing the appearance of the red lotus phenomena above Qingyun Peak, felt the scorching breath.
Had he not set up a barrier in advance, the entire Qingyun Peak might have been scorched by the Fire Lotus.
“Master, Qingyun Peak is exhibiting celestial and earthly phenomena again! This time it’s the red lotus phenomena!”
“Calling Master out just for this trifling matter!”
The other peak’s elders were unsurprised; in recent years, Qingyun Peak experienced celestial and earthly phenomena every now and then.
It’s just celestial and earthly phenomena, right?
At Ten Thousand Swords Peak, the Chao Yuan Peak Peak Master looked at the red lotus phenomena gathering above Qingyun Peak and said to Grandmaster Taixu, “Did you arrange Fire Lotus Peak for Qingyun Peak’s disciple so that she can take over Immortal Green Lotus’s abode in the future?”
Grandmaster Taixu, hands behind his back, stood shoulder to shoulder with Chao Yuan Peak’s Peak Master, “Thirty thousand years ago, Immortal Green Lotus was regarded as the being closest to the Ancestral Master. She set up an extraordinary formation on Fire Lotus Peak, connecting it with the Earth Fire. Ordinary constitutions cannot withstand the fire toxin, only the Martial King Divine Physique with a Fire Spirit Root can absorb the purest Power of Earth Fire. Since she is a Mount Shu disciple, inheriting Immortal Green Lotus’s abode is reasonable; we cannot let it lie fallow forever.”
“The name Lu Qinglian given by Lu Changsheng of Qingyun Peak to his disciple indeed has a connection to Immortal Green Lotus. If this girl can ascend to the Immortal Realm in the future, perhaps one day she will encounter our ninth Sect Leader of Mount Shu—Immortal Green Lotus.”
“That’s a day we may not be able to witness.”
Grandmaster Taixu and Chao Yuan Peak’s Peak Master couldn’t help but sigh.
Ascending to the Immortal Realm is too difficult, and not many Mount Shu Sect Leaders have managed to ascend.
The twenty-first Sect Leader of Mount Shu, Grandmaster Taixu, along with the Pavilion Master of Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, Fairy Qingxia, were the peerless pair a hundred thousand years ago. After traversing the eightfold Heavenly Tribulation, Grandmaster Taixu fell under the ninefold Heavenly Tribulation, and only Fairy Qingxia ascended.
Even with Grandmaster Taixu’s terrifying level of cultivation, he failed to ascend to the Immortal Realm.
Neither Grandmaster Taixu nor the Chao Yuan Peak’s Peak Master were confident they could transcend the ninefold Heavenly Tribulation before their life’s end.
On Qingyun Peak, as the second senior sister was assaulting the Dao Palace realm, the junior brother Shen Xiaoyao was leisurely fishing by the small stream on Qingyun Peak.
Qingyun Peak was abundant in spiritual energy, making it a Cave Heaven Blessed Land.
As the junior brother, Shen Xiaoyao received care from his senior brother and senior sister, had his master’s guidance in cultivation, and various fortunate encounters during his travels, leading a life of great contentment.
Shen Xiaoyao propped his chin and watched the Spirit Carps playing in the stream, gradually becoming engrossed and unexpectedly entering a state of Sudden Enlightenment.
In this instant, Shen Xiaoyao’s aura rapidly climbed.
The state of Sudden Enlightenment, elusive and sought after, led to a rapid increase in cultivation.
“All three disciples are actually breaking through at the same time…”
Lu Changsheng was cultivating the eighth layer of the Taiqing Wuji Technique, about to fully comprehend the eighth layer’s essence, when he suddenly realized all three disciples were breaking through major realm boundaries at the same time.
