Fantasy: I Became Invincible By Editing Narratives

Chapter 140: Pride from the Reincarnation of a True Phoenix!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A mere cultivator who was momentarily lucky not only defeated Gu Shujue, but also obtained a Heavenly Flame.

After Ji Qinglin confirmed this news, his expression was extremely gloomy.

Especially that Heavenly Flame. He was the reincarnation of a True Emperor and had yet to obtain a Heavenly Flame.

But now, Shen Ran had actually obtained it. What right did he have!

At the same time, Ji Qinglin thought of Shen Ran’s journey from an ordinary disciple to a Dao Seed. It made Ji Qinglin so angry that he gritted his teeth.

The two of them had already become enemies the last time he was recruited. Now that he saw that the other party had obtained such an opportunity, Ji Qinglin felt even more upset.

He returned to his residence with a dark expression.

The moment Ji Qinglin returned to his residence, some of his lackeys saw the gloominess on his face. They understood how he felt and went up to him.

“Your Highness, Shen Ran was just lucky.”

After all, it was the Eighth Summit’s Peak Master, Luo Qifeng who personally led a group to the Fallen Phoenix Hill. I reckon that Luo Qifeng must have helped during this period. Otherwise, how could Shen Ran defeat a prodigy like Gu Shujue with his strength?

With that, Ji Qinglin turned to look coldly at his lackey.

Ji Qinglin was already filled with anger. After all, he had made preparations for the reincarnation of a True Emperor in this life. He could break through to the True Emperor Realm faster. Coupled with his reincarnation identity, he could obtain better opportunities.

However, Shen Ran, who was so lucky, jumped out and obtained opportunities in succession, shocking him time and time again.

Now that someone was comforting him like this, Ji Qinglin felt that these lackeys were treating him like a fool.

Although the Fallen Phoenix Hill Mystic Realm was led by Luo Qifeng, Gu Shujue and those geniuses were also led by elders of their respective sects.

Faced with so many elders, even if Luo Qifeng was powerful, how could he attack?

Moreover, he was the reincarnation of an ancient True Emperor. How could he not know that obtaining the Heavenly Flame meant that he would have the opportunity to become an Emperor in the future?

At the thought of this, Ji Qinglin felt even more frustrated. He looked at the lackey who was still flattering him and struck him with his palm without hesitation.

His palm whizzed past through the cold wind, with a hint of killing intent.

As his palm landed, there was a dull sound. Ji Qinglin’s palm landed on the lackey who was flattering him.

As soon as he finished speaking, the lackey who had been flattering him just now could not even defend himself. He was directly slapped into a bloody mist by Ji Qinglin. 2

All of this happened so quickly that the rest of the lackeys who were still trying to flatter him, stood frozen in shock.

They subconsciously retreated and looked at Ji Qinglin silently, not daring to say anything.

As for Ji Qinglin, his frustrated heart calmed down a little after venting.

Ji Qinglin, who was wearing a brocade robe, slowly retracted his palm. He looked in the direction of the Eighth Summit and couldn’t help but sigh. “I have to say, this Shen Ran is really lucky.”

Normally, when those lackeys heard Ji Qinglin’s words, they would definitely come forward to comfort him.

However, they had just seen Ji Qinglin kill a bootlicker with one slap. Now, they stood rooted to the ground and did not dare to say anything.

Ji Qinglin sighed and thought of how lucky Shen Ran was along the way.

Especially on obtaining the opportunities, even he, the reincarnation of a True Emperor, was a little envious.

However, envy was envy. As a monstrous genius who had become a True Emperor, Ji Qinglin quickly calmed down and revealed a proud expression again.

Ji Qinglin knew that such a lucky cultivator was useless in the face of absolute strength.

Moreover, the East Sea Mystic Realm would open next month.

At the thought of the opening of the East Sea Mystic Realm, Ji Qinglin smiled deeply.

This East Sea Mystic Realm was opened by him 20,000 years ago. There were a large number of spirit pills inside, and there was even a Level 6 pill.

With these, he would definitely be able to break through to the Marquis Realm the moment the East Sea Mystic Realm opened.

With a thought, a hint of coldness flashed across Ji Qinglin’s face. He could not help but clench his fists and mutter softly, “Although obtaining the Heavenly Flame means that you have the opportunity to become an emperor, this is not absolute. In this process, there are too many prodigies who have died prematurely. Shen Ran, I want to see how far you can go.”

As he muttered, pride and contempt flashed across Ji Qinglin’s eyes.

Although Shen Ran had obtained the Heavenly Fire, he was not afraid of it.

As long as he entered the mystic realm left behind by his previous life and obtained many treasures, he could definitely break through to the Marquis Realm by consuming them.

At that time, even if Shen Ran obtained the Heavenly Flame, he would still be an ant with no power, not strong enough to cause fear.

After thinking about this, Ji Qinglin did not take Shen Ran’s matter to heart.

Then he looked up at his silent lackeys. “Pay attention to Shen Ran’s every move.”

After saying that, Ji Qinglin went straight to the secret chamber without looking back.

With Ji Qinglin’s departure, those lackeys heaved a sigh of relief and fled in fear.

Indeed, Ji Qinglin’s actions just now had left a traumatic experience in their hearts.

…

At this moment, on the Ninth Summit,

“What! Shen Ran actually obtained a Heavenly Flame!”

A pleasant shocked voice suddenly sounded.

The source of the voice was a beautiful woman in a light blue veil.

Under the light blue veil was a bluish-green loose dress. Coupled with the clear beautiful eyes on her exquisite face, and the cut-out golden hairpin in her black hair, she looked very beautiful.

However, shock was written all over her beautiful face.

And she was Wan Qingqing.

Wan Qingqing had just learned of Shen Ran’s return and everything that had happened in the Fallen Phoenix Hill Mystic Realm.

Before Shen Ran went, she was very worried. After all, the people who participated in the mystic realm were all top geniuses of the Southern Region.

Now, not only had Shen Ran returned safely, but he had also obtained the Heavenly Fire.

After knowing this news, Wan Qingqing could no longer suppress her excitement and rushed to where Wan Ziling was.

Wan Qingqing was filled with joy and excitement as she arrived at the Ninth Summit’s main hall.

As soon as she entered the hall, a woman in a dark blue woven dress stood in the hall.

Her long black hair was tied into a ponytail, and there was no makeup on her face, making her look simple and beautiful.

It was Wan Ziling, the Peak Master of the Ninth Summit.

When Wan Ziling saw Wan Qingqing rush in happily, she blinked and couldn’t help but scold her in a low voice, “Qingqing, you’re a young lady from a noble family. Why are you so flustered?”

Wan Qingqing acted as if she did not hear Wan Ziling’s words and said repeatedly, “Mother, I just received news that Shen Ran is back.”

Upon hearing about Shen Ran, Wan Ziling’s blinking beautiful eyes instantly became energetic as she looked at Wan Qingqing.

Then Wan Qingqing told her everything that Shen Ran had experienced, including how he had defeated Gu Shujue and the other geniuses and how he had obtained the Heavenly Flame.

When she heard Wan Qingqing say this, Wan Ziling’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“Shen Ran actually obtained a Heavenly Flame!”
