Chapter 187

187 Everyone in the Mystic Realm Gathers!

“I thought you were just a person with good luck. I didn’t expect you to be quite smart.”

These words made the expressions of the disciples of the Empyrean Sword Sect change.

At this moment, when they heard this voice, they instantly thought of someone.

This was because they were very familiar with this voice. It was Ji Qinglin, one of the three Dao Seeds of the Empyrean Sword Sect.

As expected, while the disciples were shocked, they saw a figure slowly walking out of the cave.

He was slender and handsome, and his entire body emitted an extremely terrifying aura fluctuation. This aura fluctuation had shockingly reached the ninth level of the Illumination Realm.

When he was outside the mystic realm, Ji Qinglin was only at the eighth level of the Illumination Realm.

Now that he had suddenly broken through to the ninth level of the Illumination Realm, they could not imagine how many natural treasures Ji Qinglin had devoured to allow him to break through to the next level in a short period of time.

While everyone was shocked, Shen Ran looked at Ji Qinglin calmly.

He was not surprised that the other party could break through to the ninth level of the Illumination Realm.

After all, Ji Qinglin had prepared so much, such as the Sacred Ancient Bull Python and the Underwater Palace. Such a long time was enough for Ji Qinglin to absorb natural treasures to break through.

He looked at Ji Qinglin.

Similarly, Ji Qinglin kept looking at Shen Ran with a smile on his face.

“I didn’t expect you to be the first to come here.”

Shen Ran did not respond.

Seeing this, Ji Qinglin’s eyes flickered with killing intent, but it quickly dissipated.

Ji Qinglin continued to look at Shen Ran with a smile. “At this moment, phenomena are everywhere. I’m sure all the cultivators in the East Sea Mystic Realm have been attracted. Why don’t we wait for them to arrive before entering the cave together?”

Shen Ran’s expression was calm. He did not respond either. Instead, he sat down cross-legged.

At the same time, some of the disciples Ji Qinglin had brought along walked out of the cave.

When they saw Shen Ran and the others, their expressions changed and they had a strange look on their faces.

However, before they could say anything, Ji Qinglin waved his hand, “Rest here and wait for a moment.”

Although these people did not know why, they chose to sit down at this moment.

Seeing them sit down, the disciples of the Empyrean Sword Sect on Shen Ran’s side revealed puzzled expressions.

They kept whispering to each other.

“This place doesn’t look like a place with natural treasures at all. Why do you think he found this place?”

“Moreover, it seems that His Highness Ji has clearly absorbed a lot of natural treasures.”

“It’s not only His Highness Ji, but also the disciples he brought. All of them are also emitting extraordinary aura fluctuations. Some of them have even broken through. Clearly, they have also devoured many natural treasures.”

“I think that they came here immediately when the East Sea Mystic Realm opened. It was as if they were certain that there were natural treasures here.

“Not only His Highness Ji, but also His Highness Shen. Previously, we all felt that the thorny forest was filled with danger, but His Highness Shen insisted on coming. I didn’t expect to really find natural treasures here.”

“Could it be that both His Highnesses sensed that there were natural treasures here?”

“…”

While they were discussing softly, on the other side, some disciples also came to Ji Qinglin’s side.

“Your Highness, why don’t we kill Shen Ran immediately? If we wait, all the cultivators of the East Sea Mystic Realm will inevitably be present. At that time, it will be very disadvantageous to us.”

“That’s right, Your Highness. Gu Shujue of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Zhou Ziran of the Zhou family, the geniuses of the Xu and Zhao families are not weak.”

“…”

Faced with the continuous comments, Ji Qinglin remained very calm.

“There’s no hurry. As for the people you’re talking about, I might have been afraid in the past, but now, they can’t do much harm to me.”

As he spoke, Ji Qinglin glanced at Shen Ran.

Now, he was already confident in killing Shen Ran. The reason why he set up this trap was to let those cultivators witness the scene of killing Shen Ran with their own eyes.

At that time, he would be the number one prodigy of the Southern Region and let them know who the strongest Dao Seed of the Empyrean Sword Sect was!

Then, both sides watched and waited.

Neither of them was in a hurry.

The wait did not last long. After all, the phenomenon in the sky was too eye-catching. Countless cultivators wanted to arrive immediately and see what good things were there.

Soon, cultivators flew over the thorny mountain and arrived at the top of the valley.

When they arrived at the top of the valley, they immediately saw Shen Ran and Ji Qinglin below.

Seeing the two of them, the cultivators revealed solemn expressions as they descended.

“Sigh, we’re still too late.”

“I wanted to take advantage of the birth of the natural treasures to obtain something. I didn’t expect the Empyrean Sword Sect to have arrived long ago.”

“The key is that there are two Dao Seeds!”

“These two Dao Seeds are both strong. Although Shen Ran is only at the sixth level of the Illumination Realm, the strength he displayed in the Fallen Phoenix Hill Mystic Realm is too terrifying. He has long become the number one prodigy in the hearts of countless people in the Southern Region. No one dares to underestimate him.”

“As for that Ji Qinglin. I can feel the aura fluctuation of the ninth level of the Illumination Realm from him. It’s the ninth level of the Illumination Realm. No! Why is he at the ninth level of the Illumination Realm?”

“That’s right. I remember that before entering the mystic realm, Ji Qinglin’s cultivation was only at the eighth level of the Illumination Realm. Why did he suddenly reach the ninth level?”

“…”

Amidst the discussions of the many cultivators, they all descended.

At the same time, Lei Qianren from the Lei family arrived.

His appearance attracted the attention of countless geniuses again.

Lei Qianren also looked at Shen Ran, then at Ji Qinglin.

Especially when he sensed the cultivation fluctuation of the ninth level of the Illumination Realm emitted from Ji Qinglin, his eyes narrowed.

Indeed, he was very surprised that Ji Qinglin had broken through to the ninth level of the Illumination Realm.

Although he was surprised, he also took a deep look in the direction of the cave behind Ji Qinglin. His eyes flickered with greed before he slowly descended.

Chen Beixuan and Xiao Han arrived at the same time as Lei Qianren.

However, no one paid much attention to the two of them.

It was mainly because their reputations had always been bad, and nobody cared about them.

The two of them arrived. Just like Lei Qianren, they took a deep look at Shen Ran and Ji Qinglin below before finding a place to stay.

Subsequently, more and more cultivators arrived.

Fortunately, this valley was extremely spacious, at least 10,000 feet in size. Therefore, the arrival of these cultivators did not make this place seem crowded at all.

In the meantime, more and more people arrived.

Some cultivators also realized that something was wrong.

“Something is wrong. There’s such a huge phenomenon. Why don’t I see Gu Shujue from the Heavenly Demon Sect, Zhou Ziran from the Zhou family, and Xu Lingfeng from the Xu family?”

“Logically speaking, the three of them are all top geniuses. They should have arrived long ago.”
