Chapter 124 - Cultivation “Talent” Lan Lingle (1/2)

“Eh? I haven’t seen you for a night. Little Changshou, why do you look so pale? Did you secretly do something bad and bullied our Little Ling’e?”

At dawn, the second stage of the inner sect compet.i.tion was about to begin.

Jiu Jiu carried the Spiked Mace and floated back. When she saw Li Changshou’s slightly haggard face and decided to ask with “concern”.

“I’m a little stressed. After all, the battle for the Heavenly Cycle will begin soon,” Li Changshou replied with a smile and sighed in his heart.

Is it easy for me!?! For the sake of helping myself, Master and Junior Sister go to the Heavenly Courts to avoid the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation… I had to seize the opportunity yesterday and use the paper effigy to forge a good relations.h.i.+p with the Jade Emperor. After that, I frantically deduced whether the advice I had given was harmful to Ren School and the Dao Sect. I wondered if I would incur the displeasure of the Saints and the experts of the three sects…

Only an hour ago did Li Changshou convince himself.

Don’t worry. Let’s see what happens later.

That made him look a little tired and haggard.

The Heaven Immortals and Golden Immortals of the Immortal Du Sect had no idea that their disciple had secretly made connections with the Heavenly Courts…

Li Changshou knew in his heart that as long as he took the initiative to plot something, he would definitely cause all kinds of karma.

However, there were some things that would not come to an end unless one took the initiative to deal with them…

For example, the happy ending of one adopting another man’s child whom his spouse was pregnant with.

Bang, bang, bang, bang. The bell rang. The jade platform floated out from the main hall again. There were a few more guests today.

Li Changshou kept the Wind Speech Incantation up and waited for the internal sect compet.i.tion where the disciples would vie for a place in the top 360.

At that moment, the serial number of jade slips in Li Changshou and Ling’e’s hands had not changed. The victory count had already been cleared and reverted back to zero.

Li Changshou was naturally not too worried about the upcoming battle.

However, Ling’e felt a little pressured as 252 out of 360 disciples would be eliminated.

Although her apt.i.tude was outstanding, had some help from her Senior Brother, and still had a few immortal treasures to protect her, her cultivation level was still low.

Although Li Changshou had told her not to worry about victory or defeat, he had previously set a small goal for her. Ling’e was already a little obsessed and bent on achieving it.

Before the compet.i.tion began, Lingle hesitated. While Little Aunt-Master was carrying the Spiked Mace to the mountains for patrolling, she whispered to her senior brother, “Senior Brother, can I… gain enlightenment and a breakthrough?”

What she meant was to make use of the epiphany as a reason to show her true cultivation.

Enlightenment was something that could only be obtained by chance.

Although there were other species that could gain enlightenment by b.u.mping into each other by chance, they did not have any common reference value.

Up till now, Ling’e had only had three epiphanies, and they were all thanks to Li Changshou’s guidance.

Li Changshou pondered for a while and replied, “However, you have to pay attention to the details. If you want to do it, do it well.”

Ling’e nodded solemnly and began to ponder over the details of her epiphany.

Then, she closed her eyes and focused. She pretended to enter the enlightenment of the Dao realm and secretly adjusted the second version of the Qi-Calming Turtle Breathing Mantra to create an image of an unstable aura.

Above them, the Deputy Sect Leader began to give an important speech.

He encouraged the disciples who had been eliminated, as well as the ones who would be fighting in the next round to continue fighting hard. He wanted them to fight for their glory and let nature take its course. The rewards from the sect were already underway.

After the Deputy Sect Master finished speaking, Elder Ge, who had been appointed as the Grand Mentor of the Immortal Du Sect, stepped forward and announced the start of the second round. Immediately, two disciples’ jade slips lit up…

Li Changshou thought for a while. Could it be that the so-called drawing of lots is actually an elder secretly pointing at two jade slips?

He observed secretly and soon found something amiss…

There were indeed two Grand Elders whose fingers would move slightly whenever the jade slips in the disciples’ hands lit up.

The corners of Li Changshou’s mouth twitched slightly. He had thought that the jade slips belonged to an entire set of Dharma treasures. To his surprise…

As expected, some of the items that seemed to be of superior grade, might have very simple principles.

Li Changshou had appeared earlier today. The sixteenth battle was between him and his senior sister.

The entire process of the battle was very smooth. Both parties had a good experience. The Spiked Mace of Little Qiong Peak that that senior sister had been thinking about did not appear.

Li Changshou’s talisman array formations had won the last attack. During the process, he had only used Earth Escape to dodge the opponent’s attack. Soon, he emerged from the ground.

Li Changshou naturally wouldn’t do something as immoral as using Earth Escape to look under her skirt…

When Li Changshou returned to his position on the cloud, he saw that Ling’e had her eyes closed and was focused. There were some Dao runes floating around her…

Junior Sister’s acting skills have improved recently. Li Changshou felt gratified deep down. If she had not told him earlier, he would have been deceived by her pretense.

Li Changshou did not pay much attention to it. He sat on the meditation cus.h.i.+on and quietly scooted to the empty s.p.a.ce behind him.

Junior Sister has really grown up…

The battle below continued. The 360 disciples had to fight nine rounds, which made it easier for the rankings to be established.

Three minutes later, the jade slip on Ling’e’s dress shook slightly, and it began glowing.

Ling’e was completely undecided. Dao runes surrounded her body. Her hands were in the shape of orchids as she placed them on her knees. Her pretty face became even more radiant.

Li Changshou laughed secretly when he saw that…

Little Junior Sister’s acting is a little overboard.

Li Changshou frowned and realized that something was amiss. He immediately set up a barrier around Ling’e.

However, before he could do anything, he suddenly heard the sound of the jade slip banging

“Huh?”

Ling’e slowly opened her eyes. They were empty, like the clearest starry sky that was devoid of any clouds or the moon.

However, there was still some confusion amidst the emptiness.

Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief.

Ling’e had really broken through. She had been disturbed at the crucial moment. It’s good that she did not go berserk…

However, it is not safe to seek a breakthrough in such a noisy environment.

He heard an executive yelling, “H121! H121! It’s time for you to enter the battle arena!” “Yes!” Ling’e hurriedly answered and stood up while holding the jade slip.

However, just as she stood up, the aura around her surged like a tidal wave. As she had just broken through, mysterious Dao runes spread outwards!

In an instant, various immortal senses and spiritual senses scanned the surroundings of the jade platform.

Ling’e’s face turned pale first before she realized the problem.

The Qi-Calming Turtle Breathing Mantra had lost its effectiveness for a moment because of her breakthrough!

Her true cultivation level, which was at the Void Return realm was exposed just like that!

What… What should I do?

Ling’e’s fair and slender neck turned a little stiff. She weakly turned her head to look at her senior brother, only to see that he was looking at her with admiration…

His expression was exactly the same as the others around her!

Is this…

I’m finished…

At that moment, Ling’e was so anxious that she was about to cry. Why did such an unlucky thing happen to me!?! “Junior Sister! Why did you suddenly break through so many realms!?!”

Li Changshou exclaimed in shock. The surrounding Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters also gasped.

“You broke through six stages at one go?”
