Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Bang!”

A muffled sound came from the secret chamber filled with clouds.

The young man, whose eyes had been tightly closed, suddenly opened them.

His eyes opened, and a bright light shot out from his deep and sharp eyes. Then the light in the secret chamber gradually dimmed, and this slender figure lingered.

It was Ji Qinglin, the Dao Seed of the Empyrean Sword Sect.

As the phenomenon in the secret chamber dissipated, Ji Qinglin slowly exhaled and a smile appeared on his handsome face, “I finally succeeded.”

He walked slowly out of the secret chamber.

The moment he walked out of the secret chamber, some of Ji Qinglin’s disciples who were in the know, walked up to him smiling obsequiously.

“Congratulations on breaking through to the seventh level of the Illumination Realm, Your Highness.”

“Your Highness has broken through to the seventh level of the Illumination Realm at such a young age. You’re really talented.”

“If the heavens don’t give birth to Your Highness, eternity will be like a long night, dark and gloomy.”

“His Highness has broken through to the seventh level of the Illumination Realm. He must be the number one among the younger generation of the Empyrean Sword Sect!”

“….”

Faced with these bootlicking, Ji Qinglin nodded in satisfaction.

Ji Qinglin, who was wearing a brocade robe, looked at them with a smile. “Don’t worry, I’ve already broken through. As long as you perform well, I definitely won’t forget to promote you.”

Hearing this, these people nodded crazily and flattered him even more.

What number one in history, what future potential for a True Emperor, they were all bragging.

Ji Qinglin enjoyed this for a while before looking at them and asking.

“By the way, has anything major happened in the sect recently?”

One of the sharp-mouthed disciples hurriedly replied with a smile, “Your Highness, nothing major has happened in the sect recently. The only thing is that Shen Ran has gone to the Fallen Phoenix Hill Mystic Realm. There’s no news yet.”

They had been guarding outside the secret chamber for the past few days, so they naturally did not know what was going on in the sect.

As soon as the sharp-faced disciple finished speaking, he hurriedly said, “I know about the Falling Phoenix Hill Mystic Realm this time. It’s said that all the geniuses of the Southern Region have gone. The young masters of the Zhou family, the Heavenly Demon Sect, and the Zhao family have also gone. It can be said to be a gathering of geniuses.”

The moment this was said, someone started sucking up again.

“It’s also because His Highness is in seclusion. Otherwise, how could it be Shen Ran’s turn this time?”

His words were instantly echoed.

“That’s right! Shen Ran is far inferior to His Highness. One is the bright moon, and the other is a firefly. They’re not on the same level at all.” 1

“That Shen Ran is just a darling who is lucky for a moment. Our Highness is the true genius.”

“The Fallen Phoenix Hill Mystic Realm is a place where geniuses gather. If a clown like Shen Ran goes there, he will definitely be beaten up.”

“….”

All kinds of voices sounded to belittle Shen Ran and raise Ji Qinglin.

As for Ji Qinglin, he subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

He thought of Shen Ran, who did not know what was good for him. If not for the fact that he was talented and qualified for recruitment, who did he think he was?

However, Shen Ran did not know what was good for him and attacked his own people. That time, Ji Qinglin had lost all his face and became a joke among the disciples of the Empyrean Sword Sect.

At the thought of this, a trace of anger rose in Ji Qinglin’s heart. The other party was just a disciple who was a little lucky.

He himself was the reincarnation of an ancient True Emperor, but he had been embarrassed by an ungrateful cultivator. This had always been a knot in his heart.

A high and mighty reincarnation of a True Emperor and an ordinary cultivator. What right did he have to embarrass him!

He immediately made up his mind. Now that his cultivation had broken through, he would find an opportunity to teach Shen Ran a lesson.

Hearing what these disciples said, Ji Qinglin asked with interest, “I remember that the Heavenly Demon Sect has Gu Shujue, Zhou Ziran of the Zhou family, and the Xu family. The younger generation of the Zhao family seems to be talented and strong.”

“Even against them, I’m afraid I can only fight them to a draw.”

As soon as he said that, the disciples spoke up.

“Gu Shujue and the others have indeed been famous for a long time, but Your Highness has just broken through. You won’t be at a disadvantage against them.”

“On the other hand, Shen Ran who has gone to the Fallen Phoenix Hill Mystic Realm will probably embarrass everyone from our Empyrean Sword Sect this time.”

“Sigh, it’s a pity that His Highness can’t go when the Fallen Phoenix Hill Mystic Realm opens. Otherwise, he would definitely shine.”

“…..”

Their belittling voices continued.

The smile on Ji Qinglin’s face deepened, and he was not satisfied with his current cultivation. He sighed in his heart. I’m still far from what I was before.

At that moment, he suddenly heard a commotion outside. It was getting louder.

This made Ji Qinglin frown. Then he looked at someone. “Wang Shan, go and see what’s going on outside.”

Wang Shan walked out.

After Wang Shan left, the other disciples continued to flatter Ji Qinglin.

Wang Shan left quickly and returned quickly.

The only difference was the excitement on his face when he left. He was sucking up to Ji Qinglin.

But when he returned, the excitement on his face had turned into deep shock.

Ji Qinglin immediately noticed the shock on his face and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Wang Shan muttered to himself as if he hadn’t heard anything, “No, this is impossible. How can he obtain the Heavenly Flame? How is this possible…”

Seeing this, Ji Qinglin shouted, “What happened!”

After Ji Qinglin’s reprimand, Wang Shan came back to his senses.

The moment he regained his senses, he looked at Ji Qinglin and said in shock, “The people outside said that Shen Ran obtained the Fire Phoenix True Flame in the Fallen Phoenix Hill Mystic Realm and defeated Gu Shujue…”

Wang Shan told him what had happened in the Fallen Phoenix Hill mystic realm.

As Wang Shan spoke, Ji Qinglin’s expression gradually became solemn.

Even up till the end, his face was filled with disbelief.

When Wang Shan finally said, “Now the entire sect is cheering for Shen Ran.”

As soon as Wang Shan finished speaking, Ji Qinglin shook his head repeatedly. “No! He’s just a piece of trash with some luck. On what basis could he obtain the Heavenly Flame and defeat Gu Shujue!”

Voices on the unbelievable Shen Ran sounded, and the other lackeys echoed.

“That’s right. Even His Highness can only fight Gu Shujue to a draw. How can Shen Ran defeat him? This is definitely impossible.”

“What is this about destroying a king-level Dharma treasure? This sounds like a fantasy, and it’s even more impossible.”

“….”

While they were talking, Ji Qinglin had left the secret chamber and gone outside.

The moment he walked out, he saw the disciples who were discussing.

Without hesitation, Ji Qinglin grabbed a disciple and asked, “What did Shen Ran experience at the Fallen Phoenix Hill?!”

The disciple was clearly very afraid of Ji Qinglin and told him everything that Shen Ran had experienced in a trembling voice.

But even so, Ji Qinglin did not believe it.

He found a few more disciples and enquired.

And the end result would be the same.

Shen Ran had indeed obtained the Heavenly Flame and defeated countless geniuses, including Gu Shujue.

However, the moment the news was confirmed, Ji Qinglin stood where he was and kept shaking his head.

“No! This is impossible! You’re only at the fifth level of the Illumination Realm. How can you be so strong?”

Ji Qinglin could not accept or believe it. He felt his face burning.

He had just boasted that he was on par with a prodigy like Gu Shujue, but Shen Ran could defeat them.
