Chapter 3: Invaders from the Mountain Sea Sect!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the blink of an eye, two months had passed.

During those two months, Su’en stayed in his courtyard to advance his cultivation. He did not eat or sleep, and time seemed little more than a vague semblance of a notion. No one came to disturb him during his seclusion, which he was thankful for.

Su’en sat on his bed in his courtyard. Compared to before his isolation, his hair was much longer now, grazing the mattress of his bed.

Without warning, he opened his eyes, and from their intense depths radiated bright light. At the same time, a powerful shock wave erupted from his body. The walls around him couldn’t withstand the force of his aura, and a few cracks appeared on their surfaces.

“Late-stage Crystallization!”

Su’en stood up and exuded an invisible pressure. If his cultivation level increased now, he could be born naturally. If one reached the legendary Immortal Ascension Realm, one could shatter mountains and crack the surface of the earth with a mere look.

“If it weren’t for the fact that my potential is too weak and that I’ve absorbed too little of the medicinal power, I would have perfected my Crystallization by now!”

Su’en felt a hint of regret. During his seclusion, he had already used up all his Foundation Establishment Pills. However, he had only absorbed 50 pills worth of medicinal power, half of what he should have. The remaining 50 pills had all been wasted! If he were as talented as his junior Ye Lingyun, he would probably already have reached the Core Formation Realm and become a Golden Core cultivator.

However, Su’en was satisfied with his current prowess in his late-stage Crystallization Realm. After all, it had only taken him two months of cultivation to advance from a late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm to a late-stage Crystallization Realm.It was an improvement by leaps and bounds, one most people wouldn’t be capable of.

If not for the help of the system, it would have taken him more than ten years to break through to the Crystallization Realm, let alone its late-stages.

It could be said that for cultivators, resources were more important than aptitude. However, talent allowed one to better absorb said resources.

Exhaling, Su’en checked his interior. His Energy Core, which had broken through to the late-stage of the Crystallization Realm, was at least 20 times larger than it had been. Copious amounts of True Qi constantly gathered in his Energy Core, like an ocean. Every time he advanced a level in his Crystallization, his Energy Core would expand several times, and the amount of True Qi he could store there would also increase.

With a thought, Su’en condensed his True Qi into a sword from his fingertips again. Like before, it manifested in the form of a pale golden aura, but this time it was longer. Su’en increased his efforts, and the sword made of True Qi extended by ten feet. The aura it gave off was also sharper.

“There is indeed a world of difference between one realm and the next!”

Su’en was impressed. The path of cultivation required one to slowly build a sound foundation. Advancing each stage meant a breakthrough in one’s strength.

Retracting the sword of his True Qi, Su’en faced the mirror and adjusted it slightly. Under the tremendous medicinal power of the Foundation Establishment Pill, his hair grew rapidly. Su’en was a little taken aback. After adjusting his appearance, he looked at his refined features and allowed himself a moment of self-praise, pleased with the results. Although good looks were useless in cultivation, they were nice to gaze upon!

Suddenly, Su’en heard a sharp knock on the door outside the courtyard.

“Senior! Bad news! The Mountain Sea Sect is attacking!”

The Mountain Sea Sect? What was happening?

Su’en frowned. He flew into the courtyard and opened the front door, where a disciple was standing anxiously outside. His eyes lit up when he saw Su’en.

“Senior, if you don’t come out of seclusion, the Dao Sect will go to battle with the Mountain Sea Sect!” The disciple spoke between pants, hysteria etched onto his face.

Seeing how worked up his disciple was, Su’en patted his shoulder and said, “Calm down and tell me what has happened.”

His senior’s presence managed to calm the disciple, and he recounted what had happened.

“Yesterday, a disciple of our Dao Sect discovered a Four-Colored Immortal Spirit Flower at the foot of the mountain. The Mountain Sea Sect happened to pass by. They said that they saw the flower first and demanded that we return it to them. Of course, we refused. But we didn’t expect them to try and take it by force! After that, fighting broke out. We outnumbered them at the time, so we won. But today, they brought along their most senior disciple, Chen Huiran, claiming that they wanted justice!”

“Chen Huiran?”

Su’en’s eyes glazed over. The Mountain Sea Sect was stronger than the Dao Sect, but not by a huge margin. Both sects were ranked at the bottom of the Heavenly Domain.

Chen Huiran was the most senior disciple of the Mountain Sea Sect, on par with Su’en.They had clashed briefly a few years ago, but Su’en had entered the sect earlier and was more powerful. He had won–if barely.

“Senior, he seems to have broken through to the Crystallization Realm.” The disciple looked worriedly at Su’en. He knew his senior was still in the Foundation Establishment Realm. If he heard that Chen Huiran had broken through to the Crystallization Realm, his expression would surely change.

However, Su’en remained calm, as if the news meant nothing. This puzzled the disciple.

“The Four-Colored Immortal Spirit Flower is a necessary ingredient to refine a fourth-grade medicinal pill. At the same time, it can also be used as an ingredient to tame magical beasts. It’s not unexpected that Chen Huiran would show up personally,” Su’en said with a smile. “But if he’s broken through to the Crystallization Realm, he must have come to take revenge for his defeat all those years ago!”

“So what do we do, Senior?” the disciple asked.

“What choice do we have? If they have the guts to come, then they shouldn’t expect any mercy from me!”

With that, Su’en disappeared and sped away. When one’s cultivation reached the late-stage of the Crystallization Realm, there would be a qualitative change in their strength and speed.

“Did… did Senior also break through to a higher realm?”

Shock filled the disciple–followed by joy.

In the Daoist Square, the disciples of the two sects stood facing each other.

Ye Lingyun stood at the head of the Dao Sect. Her senior hadn’t ended his seclusion yet, so it was up to her to step up. Currently, she had already broken through to the late-stages of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

“I can’t believe there’s such a beautiful woman in this pitiful Daoist sect,” said Chen Huiran, the most senior disciple of the Mountain Sea Sect. He was a broad-shouldered man, tall, muscles rippling with strength. The moment he saw Ye Lingyun, his self-control whittled away. Although she was not yet eighteen years old, her figure was already that of a woman, with attractive, shapely legs.

“This old sect is no place for a beauty like you. Why don’t you join us in the Mountain Sea Sect?” Chen Huiran declared, grinning.

His fellow disciples broke out into an uproar of laughter. The faces of the disciples of the Dao Sect were as dark as thunderclouds, but Ye Lingyun only stared back coldly. Although she had not yet broken through to the Crystallization Realm, she still was still a worthy opponent of Chen Huiran.

“Chen Huiran, it’s been a long time since we last met, but I see the years haven’t improved your character.”

As they faced each other, a voice called out.
