nAt the Xuantian Mountain Range…

n

n

nThe night was as dark as ink.

n

n

n

n

nChu Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the people around him who were not moving.

n

n

nOnly then did he carefully listen to the voice in his mind.

n

n

nSystem has detected that the sect is under attack.

n

n

nDetection complete. A sect disciple attacked.

n

n

n

n

nDetected that the sect’s development is not right. Shifting the system’s review on the strength of the sect’s disciples forward. Determining whether the host has successfully taught a useless disciple.

n

n

nWhy was the review suddenly brought forward?

n

n

nThe sect was under attack? His disciple was the one that had attacked? Why would Ye Luo attack the sect for no reason?

n

n

nChu Yuan was at a loss and had a bad feeling in his heart. However, he did not know what had happened and could only continue waiting.

n

n

n

n

nBeginning to review the current standards of the sect’s disciples.

n

n

nCurrent Number Of Disciples: 1

n

n

nDisciple Under Review: Ye Luo

n

n

nCultivation: Mortal

/Soul Formation Stage

n

n

nCombat Level: ???

n

n

nComprehensive Evaluation: This disciple’s constitution is close to that of a Dao Body and possesses monstrous talent. Although it was not the host who groomed this disciple to have such monstrous talent, the host shall bear the blame for this since the host accepted him as a disciple.

n

n

n

n

nReview Completed. This disciple has been determined to be a genius. The host will be downgraded by one major realm.

n

n

nWhat the heck!?

n

n

nChu Yuan’s eyes widened.

n

n

nBefore he even had any time to react, the tiny human Nascent Soul in his dantian suddenly exploded…

n

n

nIt happened without any warning. After the system had finished its evaluation, his Nascent Soul had immediately exploded and turned into specks of light. They then gathered together under his gaze and formed the shape of a Golden Core.

n

n

nHis Dharmic power shrank rapidly…

n

n

nHe now had less than a tenth of its original strength.

n

n

nBy the time Chu Yuan reacted, he had already become a Golden Core cultivator.

n

n

n

n

nHis Nascent Soul had really shattered and become a Golden Core…

n

n

nHe had heard of a Golden Core breaking to form a Nascent Soul. This was the first time he had seen a Nascent Soul shattering to become a Golden Core. Furthermore, such tragedy had befallen him.

n

n

nChu Yuan’s face darkened.

n

n

nWhat the hell?

n

n

nHis disciple, Ye Luo, had become a genius?

n

n

nHow did such a thing happen?

n

n

nHe had never taught Ye Luo before, right? He had just casually said a few words to him before letting him rot by himself. How had he become a genius?

n

n

nHe had even caused the system to shift its review earlier. The worst part was that he had been downgraded from the Nascent Soul stage to the Golden Core stage…

n

n

nWhat was going on?

n

n

nCould it be that Ye Luo was really able to figure cultivation techniques just by listening to his lies?

n

n

nHehe!

n

n

nIf he really managed to do so, he would swallow the hundred-year-old socks in his shoes on the spot!

n

n

nBut how had Ye Luo become so talented?

n

n

n

n

nChu Yuan, who had become a Golden Core, still could not figure out how it had happened. He then focused his sights on the system’s comprehensive evaluation.

n

n

nYe Luo possesses a constitution close to the Dao Body and possesses monstrous talent. Could it be because of this?

n

n

nDao Body, Dao Body…

n

n

nCould it be that he really figured out something from the rubbish he had said!?

n

n

nWhat could he even comprehend from that?

n

n

nIf so, why hadn’t he himself gained any insights from what he had said?

n

n

nCould it be because he was stupid?

n

n

nChu Yuan naturally skipped the matter of eating the socks in his shoes.

n

n

nAt this moment, he felt extremely sad. This was especially so when he looked at the pitch-black night sky.

n

n

nLife was really difficult.

n

n

nHe only wanted to take in a useless disciple without a spirit root. Why had he taken in someone with a Dao Body?

n

n

nThe worst part was that he was no longer a Nascent Soul powerhouse…

n

n

nHe had become a Golden Core scum…

n

n

nLife’s so hard.

n

n

nChu Yuan looked up at the sky, feeling depressed.

n

n

nOn the other side, the Grand Elder, who did not rest at all, narrowed his eyes and looked at Chu Yuan cautiously.

n

n

nWhen he saw Chu Yuan looking up at the sky with a depressed look, his mood couldn’t help but start sinking.

n

n

nHe did not know what the reason was… It felt as if Chu Yuan had infected him. His mood started becoming extremely bad, and there was even an air of melancholy growing around him.

n

n

nLogically speaking, as a Soul Formation cultivator, it was impossible for him to lose control of his emotions. However, he seemed to have really been affected by Chu Yuan and started becoming depressed too.

n

n

nSigh…

n

n

nThe Grand Elder let out a huge sigh, with countless thoughts rising in his mind. Those were all matters of his youth.

n

n

nNo!

n

n

nThe Grand Elder suddenly shuddered.

n

n

nWhy was he thinking about all this?

n

n

nHe shook his head and threw all these thoughts to the back of his mind.

n

n

nHe continued to stare at the peerless existence.

n

n

nAfter taking a closer look, his eyes suddenly widened. He suddenly discovered that this peerless existence’s cultivation had dropped. He had clearly been at the Nascent Soul stage before, but he was now a Golden Core cultivator…

n

n

nHe blinked and looked again—this peerless existence was still at the Golden Core stage!

n

n

nHe then rubbed his eyes and looked again—this peerless existence was still at the Golden Core stage!

n

n

nThis peerless existence’s drop in cultivation was not a disguise! He was genuinely now at the Golden Core stage!

n

n

nHad this Sect Leader of the hidden sect already reached such a realm where he could freely control his cultivation level?

n

n

nThe Grand Elder began to look back on his own cultivation road.

n

n

nCould this be the path that one had to take before ascending? To walk the path of cultivation once again…

n

n

nWas this the realm this peerless existence was at?

n

n

nHiss!

n

n

nHow terrifying!

n

n

nThe Grand Elder sucked in a breath of cold air and hurriedly closed his eyes, not daring to be discovered by this existence.

n

n

nThe Grand Elder continued to squint his eyes. Unknowingly, he became depressed again. This air of melancholy was almost impossible to suppress.

n

n

nAnd just like that, the long night passed amid this air of melancholy.

n

n

nThe next day…

n

n

nWhen dawn arrived, Chu Yuan left the place with Zhang Han.

n

n

nThe Great Elder and the others felt reluctant as Chu Yuan left.

n

n

nNot long after Chu Yuan left, the disciples heaved a sigh of relief and started a heated discussion.

n

n

n“This peerless existence has finally left. However, our mission has been completed, right? We should be on good terms with him now.”

n

n

n“It’s a pity that I didn’t receive the guidance of this peerless existence…”

n

n

n“To be honest, I initially wanted to consult him at night, but I wasn’t brave enough…”

n

n

nMany disciples expressed their pity.

n

n

nMany of them had had the intention to seek guidance from him, but none of them had the guts to say it out loud.

n

n

nThe Grand Elder’s expression did not change. He had long regained his solemn look.

n

n

n“Alright, alright. Since this peerless existence has left, it’s time for us to return to the sect.”

n

n

nThe Grand Elder’s tone was serious, but there was a hint of satisfaction in it.

n

n

nThis time, he could be considered as the bridge between the Qian Emperor Dao Sect and the Daoless Sect.

n

n

nMost importantly, he had successfully given this existence a gift. It was equivalent to showing his face in front of this existence!

n

n

nFurthermore, he had also found out something. If an existence at the Tribulation stage wanted to ascend, they would need to walk down the path of cultivation once more.

n

n

nThe Sect Leader of the hidden sect was such an example. The more he cultivated, the lower his cultivation level was.

n

n

nHe had dropped from the Nascent Soul stage to the Golden Core stage right in front of the Grand Elder’s eyes.

n

n

nPerhaps when the Sect Leader of the hidden sect reached the Qi Refinement stage or even became a mortal again, only then would he be able to ascend.

n

n

nThe Grand Elder felt that he could use this piece of information to exchange for a bunch of favors from the others.

n

n

nHe believed that the Sect Leader would definitely be very interested in this piece of information. Thus, he could use this to exchange for favors or cultivation resources.

n

n

nA glint flashed across the Grand Elder’s eyes…
