n

n

nShen Ran returned to the Eighth Peak of the Empyrean Sword Sect from the Grand Myriad Mountains.

n

nHe did not know that Chen Beixuan was going crazy.

n

nHe was now at the second level of the Illumination Realm.

n

nIn the Empyrean Sword Sect, one could become a Dao Seed with such a cultivation level!

n

nAfter all.

n

nWang Qingxuan, who had consumed the Blood Cloud Powder, was only at the third level of the Illumination Realm.

n

nHowever, cultivation was cultivation, and combat power was combat power.

n

nShen Ran, who had these top qualifications like the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body, the Ancient Immortal Eyes, and the Invincible Supreme Bones, could kill a cultivator who had just broken through to the Illumination Realm with just a drop of spiritual fluid from within his body.

n

nIf he used one of the Ancient Seven Transformations, the Azure Dragon Transformation, he could instantly increase his combat strength a hundred fold!

n

nEven if he was up against the fourth level of Illumination Realm, he would still have the strength to fight!

n

nBut there was a caveat.

n

nHe wanted to overthrow Wang Qingxuan completely.

n

nThe other party was not only a member of the Demon Cult, but also one of the Dao Seeds of the Empyrean Sword Sect.

n

nIf he died without rhyme or reason, the sect elders would definitely investigate the matter.

n

nSo Shen Ran planned to destroy his reputation first.

n

nThen he would take steps to eliminate him!

n

nBut how should he make Wang Qingyuan expose his identity as a member of the Demon Sect?

n

nShen Ran ran into a snag thinking of this problem.

n

nKilling this person is not difficult. The difficult part is how to do it in the name of righteousness.

n

nWithout realizing it, he had already reached his residence on the Eighth Summit.

n

nLooking at the frowning Shen Ran, Shen Yueshuang gently walked behind him and stretched out her fair arms.

n

n“Brother Shen, what are you thinking about?”

n

nShen Ran felt a pair of small hands gently massaging his head. Enjoying it, he spoke calmly.

n

n“It’s nothing.”

n

nDealing with Wang Qingxuan was his personal matter.

n

nIf Shen Yueshuang knew about this, it would do her no good.

n

nShe had just come into contact with cultivation and her bloodline had yet to be activated.

n

nIsn’t she destined to be the famous Empress Divine Phoenix in the future?

n

n“By the way, Peak Master Luo sent someone to inform you to go to his place when you return today.”

n

nHearing that Luo Qifeng was looking for him, Shen Ran was a little puzzled.

n

nEver since he became the chief disciple of the Eighth Summit, Luo Qifeng had never summoned him.

n

nWhy am I suddenly summoned this time? he wondered.

n

nHe immediately asked Shen Yueshuang.

n

n“What did Peak Master Luo say?”

n

nIn the eyes of outsiders, Shen Yueshuang’s current identity was just Shen Ran’s maid.

n

nSo she did not know what it was about.

n

nShen Ran spent a few moments contemplating this.

n

nThen he decided to meet Elder Luo.

n

nAfter changing his clothes slowly and washing up, Shen Ran pushed open the door and walked out of the cabin.

n

nHe looked up at the clear, cloudless sky. It was late spring in April. There was fragrance in the wind.

n

nHe walked along a path in the beautiful spring day, and cut across a hill until he came to an attic on the summit.

n

nIn front of the attic, he activated the Ancient Sacred Body and concealed his true cultivation under the guise of a level seven Divine Sea Realm cultivator.

n

nWhen he was done, he cupped his fists.

n

n“Shen Ran requests an audience with Peak Master.”

n

nImmediately.

n

nThe attic door swung open with an invisible force.

n

nAs soon as he walked in, he saw Luo Qifeng looking over happily.

n

n“Good! As expected of the chief disciple of my Eighth Summit!”

n

nShen Ran was a little confused by Luo Qifeng’s praise.

n

nBefore he could say anything, Luo Qifeng stroked his goatee with a grin.

n

n“I called you here to discuss the preparation for the Sect Tournament in two weeks, ” he said.

n

nThe Sect Tournament?

n

nIt all clicked.

n

nEvery three years.

n

nThe Empyrean Sword Sect would hold a Sect Tournament.

n

nAmong them, the inner sect was the strongest!

n

nThe tournament mainly assessed the strengths of the disciples of the various peaks. Next, the sect would allocate the resources to the various peaks accordingly.

n

nAfter all.

n

nThe sect had limited resources.

n

nIt would be impossible for every peak to have a massive amount of resources.

n

nHe was the Chief Disciple of the Eighth Summit.

n

nLuo Qifeng would naturally entrust the strongest person on the Eighth Summit to compete at the tournament.

n

nShen Ran understood and cupped his fists at Luo Qifeng.

n

n“So it’s about this matter. I’ll do my best in the tournament!

n

nI will fight for first place for the Eighth Summit!”

n

nHearing this, the joy on Luo Qifeng’s face grew.

n

nAs expected of someone at the third level Divine Sea Realm who could kill Hong Jing at the sixth level Divine Sea Realm.

n

nThis temperament is extraordinary.

n

nWhich ordinary disciple would not be subservient to him, a Peak Master?

n

nBut Shen Ran was neither servile nor overbearing.

n

nApart from entrusting something to Shen Ran, Luo Qifeng also wanted to see him.

n

nRecently, Shen Ran had become famous in the sect.

n

nMany elders had come over to ask about him.

n

nAs the Peak Master, he did not even know as much as others. It was simply a dereliction of duty!

n

nShen Ran had made the Eighth Summit famous recently, and Luo Qifeng was not stingy.

n

nHe raised his hand and waved. Spiritual light appeared in his hand.

n

nImmediately after, a small porcelain bottle appeared in his palm.

n

n“This is the Green Jade Pill that I had refined. It can help one break through to the next level in the Divine Sea Realm. Take it.

n

nDon’t feel pressured in this inner sect tournament.”

n

nLooking at this Green Jade Pill, Shen Ran did not know whether to laugh or cry.

n

nIn the past, he would have been overjoyed.

n

nAfter all, it could help a Divine Sea expert break through once.

n

nHowever, he was already at the Illumination Realm now. The pill was useless to him.

n

nThe effects of the Green Jade Pill on him would be minimal now.

n

nBut it could be used by Shen Yueshuang.

n

nThis was proof.

n

nHe had gradually captured the attention of the higher-ups of the Empyrean Sword Sect.

n

nNo wonder the system noted that I would rise in the Empyrean Sword Sect…

n

nIt was right.

n

nShen Ran did not think too much about it.

n

nIt’s a joke, he thought.

n

nHe had the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body, the Invincible Supreme Bones, the Ancient Immortal Eyes, and other top-notch talents. He could be considered a peerless genius. He should be taken seriously by the experts of the Empyrean Sword Sect.

n

nOtherwise, the Empyrean Sword Sect deserved to fall.

n

n…
