Chapter 395: The Supreme Elder Arrives (2/2)

”Wait, Senior now that I'm in the peak stage of the Qi refining realm, can't I ignite a qi flame now?” Lin Mu asked.

”Yes, you can attempt that now. Though for your first attempt you would need special conditions as there can be a backlash if you make a mistake.” Xukong replied.

”Ah, I understand senior.” Lin Mu replied and focused back on the Supreme elder who was gazing down at everyone.

”Greetings Supreme elder!” Yi Deng greeted while cupping his hands.

Even if he and the supreme elder were both at the Nascent soul realm, the difference between them was vast. He was merely at the Child stage of the Nascent soul realm, while the Supreme elder was two stages above at the adult stage.

But that wasn't the only reason behind his respect, no rather it was because of their age difference too. From what Yi Deng knew, the supreme elder has been holding his position since before he was a peak master. In fact, the supreme elder had been in the Nascent soul stage even before he was a cultivator himself.

One could compare from this, how difficult cultivation was. Even he who had lived for over three hundred years was at the nascent soul realm, and the supreme elder who was over six hundred years old was also at the Nascent Soul realm.

The higher one climbed, the more difficult and slow the cultivation got. One could even say that they progressed at a snail's pace.

”THESE DISCIPLES PAY RESPECTS TO THE VENERABLE SUPREME ELDER!” All of the disciples greeted out loud.

Lin Mu broke out of his thoughts due to their shouts and saw the supreme elder descending on to the ground. This was another one of the basic abilities of the Nascent soul realm cultivators. They could fly without the use of a spirit weapon.

Still, the ones that were in the infant and child stage of the nascent soul realm couldn't fly for long. Only after reaching the very peak of the nascent soul realm could one do what the supreme elder was doing. He had flown to the Wu Lim city all the way from the Tri cauldron peony sect, which was more than a thousand kilometers away.

All this distance had only taken him six hours to complete by flying.

”Take me to the site of the incident,” The supreme elder spoke directly.

”Please follow me, supreme elder,” The peak master replied and took him to the tournament area.

”We had just arrived here when a minute later, the junior elder Fa Shiu disappeared. No one saw what happened, and we couldn't find any suspects either. But we do have a good idea of where they are hiding and need your help for that.” The peak master explained.

The supreme elder's brows furrowed when he saw the area though and then a frown appeared on his face.

”I sense traces of spatial disturbance here…”
