Lin Yue’s sword wave that injured Pang Long, who was ranked in the top three of the Inner Sect, caused quite a shock to the people present.
Many people couldn’t believe their eyes, so they rubbed their hands, opened their eyes again, and the image they saw was still the same “Lin Yue” who was standing at the same spot with a light heart.
“Senior brother Lin Yue, too powerful, just now that move should be the Ten Veins Sword Wave, right? The Ten Veins Sword Wave is only a Spirit Grade Upper Grade martial art, yet it defeated the Ghost Grade Sword Technique that Senior Brother Pang performed.”
“Can’t you see that Senior Brother Lin Yue has already cultivated the Ten Veins Sword Wave to a state of realisation? His attainments in the Dao of the Sword seem to be even more advanced than Senior Brother Pang.”
“Senior Brother Lin Yue should have already broken through to the Fish Dragon Realm, and in the future, he will be a Sacred Transmission Disciple of honourable status.”
There were quite a few female disciples who were secretly in love with Lin Yue in the **Yard, and when they saw that “Lin Yue” had defeated the famous Pang Long with a single finger, they suddenly became very crazy.
Lin Yue was not only handsome, but also had a high level of cultivation, and was simply the perfect dream lover in the hearts of female disciples.
Many female disciples, even turned into nymphomaniacs, revealing worshipful eyes, looking at Lin Yue obsessively.
The inner disciples who were previously very disdainful of Lin Yue, all of them changed their faces drastically, as if they were facing a great enemy, and kept retreating, looking at him with quite a fright.
They finally realised that Lin Yue’s strength really seemed to have grown to a rather terrifying extent.
If Lin Yue had the intention to retaliate, even if all of them were added together, they were probably not Lin Yue’s opponent.
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze stared towards Pang Long.
Pang Long felt a powerful oppressive force and couldn’t help but take a step back. However, he soon restrained the fear in his heart and said, ”Lin Yue, what are you doing? Don’t think that you’re so great just because you’ve broken through to the Fish Dragon Realm, my great uncle is a Yuan Long Half-Saint, how dare you touch me?”
Zhang Ruochen smiled faintly and said casually, “Why are you so scared? It’s not like I said I’m going to do anything to you? We are all senior brothers, why do we need to fight each other. I’ve come to **Yuan, I just want to catch up with Senior Sister Han Qiu, I don’t have any other intentions. Are you guys leaving now, or are you getting together?”
If Pang Long hadn’t taken the initiative, Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t have wanted to feud with him at all.
It would naturally be best to be able to turn the feud into something else.
“Hmph! Lin Yue counts on you, so let’s wait and see, when I break through to the Fish Dragon Realm, I will definitely regain today’s face. Double the humiliation you have inflicted on me back to you.”
Pang Long was a very proud person and simply ignored Zhang Ruochen’s gesture of goodwill, instead, he felt that Zhang Ruochen was deliberately humiliating him.
As a result, he resented Zhang Ruochen even more and secretly resolved to not take this revenge.
Today, Pang Long lost face in front of Han Qiu, so of course, he had no face to continue staying, and so, he left the **Institute in disgrace.
“Ai! Another feud!”Zhang Ruochen sighed.
There were times when one really couldn’t help it.
When someone else wanted to teach you a lesson, you couldn’t, stand there and hand him a beating without fighting back, could you?
Han Qiu stared at Zhang Ruochen and said, “Your cultivation has risen really fast, moreover, the Sword Dao Realm seems to have reached Sword Mind.”
In just two months’ time, Lin Yue’s strength had indeed risen somewhat exaggeratedly. Just now, he had executed the Ten Veins Sword Wave of the Transformation Realm, causing Han Qiu to be a bit incredulous as well.
How could Lin Yue’s Sword Dao Realm be so high?
Zhang Ruochen stared at Han Chu, the corner of his mouth hooked, and he said something that made Han Chu very confused.
“These past few years, your cultivation, didn’t it also rise very quickly?”
After saying this, Zhang Ruochen turned around and left the **Yard, travelling down the mountain.
“He left just like that? What exactly did he mean by that last sentence?”
Han Qiu stared at Lin Yue’s back, her two slender eyebrows slightly furrowed, revealing a puzzled expression. She always felt that Lin Yue’s words just now seemed to hide some other meaning.
Previously, the impact Lin Yue had left on her had always been extremely poor, not only was he self-righteous, but rather, he also dabbled in women everywhere.
But this time, Lin Yue appeared to be very introverted, and there was actually an ethereal and dusty temperament on his body, which made her want to hate even if she couldn’t.
Could it be that breaking through to the Fish Dragon Realm could really make such a huge change in a person?
Although Han Chu still hated Lin Yue, right now, there was a hint of curiosity about her.
What kind of person was he really?
“The altar is not in the **Yard.”
Since Zhang Ruochen had travelled to **Yuan, he had been releasing his spiritual power to probe the six spirit mountains of **Yuan, and even the 100-foot-deep ground had been probed, but there was no trace of the altar.
Since, the altar was not in the **Yard, Zhang Ruochen of course left immediately, not wanting to continue staying.
Zhao Han’er kept following behind Zhang Ruochen, her two eyes squinting together like two curved crescent moons. For some reason, when she saw Senior Brother Lin Yue defeat Senior Brother Pang Long, her mood was quite joyful.
Senior Brother Lin Yue was really too handsome, too powerful, casually defeating a top expert like Senior Brother Pang Long with a sword wave. In the future, who would dare to question Senior Brother Lin Yue’s strength?
Walking down the Spirit Mountain to a seven feet wide stone road, Zhang Ruochen stopped and looked towards the caravan not far away.
The caravan was pulled by the fourth-ranked savage beasts “Savage Elephants”, and each car had ten large iron crates bundled on it, as if it was a heavy metal mountain moving around.
Zhang Ruochen cast out his Heavenly Eyes and instantly saw through that all the iron crates were filled with Spirit Crystals.
Zhang Ruochen pretended not to know and asked, “What are they transporting?”
Seeing that Zhang Ruochen took the initiative to talk to her, Zhao Han’er was immediately flattered and hurriedly said, “Those are spirit crystals that were shipped back from the Abyssal Ancient Mines, and they are going to be sent to the Sword Pavilion. It is said that those Spirit Crystals, all of them, will be used for the Sword Discussion Conference.”
Zhao Han’er stared at Zhang Ruochen with some surprise and curiously said, “Senior Brother Lin Yue, don’t you know that the Sword Discussion Conference is a once-in-a-century event, and as early as two years ago, the sect had already begun its preparations.”
Zhang Ruochen knew that he had spoken out of turn and hurriedly said, “What I mean is that even if the Sword Discussion Conference is on a grand scale, it shouldn’t be able to use that many Spirit Crystals.”
The caravan was definitely not transporting the spirit crystals to the Sword Pavilion just today, presumably, a large number of spirit crystals would be transported over every day.
That was why Zhang Ruochen was sceptical.
“That’s something I’m not too sure about! Anyway, for the Sword Discussion Conference, not only do we have to set up a lot of formations, but also, we have to build a central altar, which should consume a lot of spirit crystals.”Zhao Han’er said.
Hearing the word ‘altar’, Zhang Ruochen’s eyes immediately lit up, like a lost person who suddenly found the right direction.
He immediately asked, “In what direction is the Sword Pavilion?”
“It’s in the southwest direction, situated on the Ancient God Mountain of the Shangqing Palace, which is the most sacred place of the Two Eyes Sect. It is said that only Sacred Transmission disciples have the opportunity to go there to cultivate ehehe Senior Brother Lin Yue, where did Senior Brother Lin Yue go?”
Before Zhao Han’er could finish her words, she merely blinked her eyes and realised that Zhang Ruochen had already disappeared without a trace.
“Worthy of being an expert of the Fish Dragon Realm, Senior Brother Lin Yue’s speed is really fast.”
Zhao Han’er’s hands rested on her chin, worshipping the Senior Brother Lin Yue in her heart even more.
Zhang Ruochen was rushing in the direction of the Upper Qing Palace, ready to find out what was going on.
The construction of the Heaven and Earth Altar was quite a huge project, and once it started, it would surely take a lot of manpower and material resources, and the Two Eyes Sect would surely use one of the best excuses to cover their ears.
Preparing for the Sword Dao Conference was a good excuse.
Zhang Ruochen was almost certain that the Heaven and Earth Sacrificial Platform was most likely hidden in the Ancient God Mountain of the Shangqing Palace.
Arriving at the Shangqing Palace, Zhang Ruochen took out his inner disciple’s token and smoothly walked into the palace gate.
The “Upper Clearance Palace” was one of the three palaces that not only governed the 36 spiritual mountains, but also occupied the Two Element Sect’s oldest holy land, the Ancient God Mountain.
Legend had it that the Ancient God Mountain was derived from the corpse of an Ancient God, and the seven holy springs in the mountain were the seven bloodlines of the Ancient God. Drinking the water from the holy springs all year round could help a cultivator comprehend the Sacred Dao, and he would have a better chance of reaching the Half-Saint realm.
Zhang Ruochen peered in the direction of the Ancient God Mountain, only to see a red mountain-shaped dark shadow hidden inside the clouds, only an atmospheric silhouette could be seen, and it was impossible to see the mountain in its entirety.
The Ancient God Mountain had a total of seven mountains, even just the lowest first mountain was as high as nine thousand metres, not something an ordinary martial artist could climb up.
“Father once said that the Ancient God Mountain of the Two Yi Sect hides a great secret from the Middle Ages, and even he once fell in the mountain.”
Zhang Ruochen could feel an ancient aura coming from the Ancient God Mountain, causing people to be in awe of it.
Could it be that the Ancient God Mountain was really the corpse of an Ancient God?
Back then, Emperor Ming, who had once learnt from his master in the Two Element Sect, with his worldly valour, had almost died in the Ancient God Mountain as well. From this, it could be seen that the Ancient God Mountain was definitely more than what it appeared on the surface, and within its interior, there must be great perils.
Zhang Ruochen released his spiritual power, wanting to explore the Ancient God Mountain.
However, before the spiritual force could even get close to the Ancient Divine Mountain, it was bounced back by an invisible force, which instead shocked Zhang Ruochen into taking three steps back in a row.
“So powerful.”
Zhang Ruochen’s hands clasped his head, feeling his head ache terribly, the force of the rebound just now was quite powerful, almost causing his 44th ranked spiritual energy to collapse for it.
It took him half an hour to adjust and reopen his eyes.
“I can’t use my spiritual power to probe, I can only go and check in person.”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes regained their determination as he took large strides in the direction of the Ancient God Mountain.
He had only just reached the outskirts of the Ancient God Mountain when he was still stopped by two old Taoists guarding the mountain gate.
On the left side of the mountain gate, an old Taoist with a slightly chubby figure said, “Today, no disciple is allowed to set foot on the Ancient God Mountain, so why don’t you quickly retreat.”
Zhang Ruochen glanced towards the two old daoists, both of them were at the cultivation level of Fish Dragon Ninth Transformation, and their entire bodies emitted glazed treasure light, like two gate gods.
A figure of the Fish Dragon Ninth Transformation could only guard the outer gates of the mountain.
This Ancient God Mountain, it really seemed to be somewhat extraordinary.
