Chapter 190: Chance Encounter with the Celestial Maiden Sect Master

He had originally come to the jurisdiction of the Celestial Maiden Sect to see if there were any opportunities, but he hadn't expected to run into the Celestial Maiden Sect Master, Yue Xin.

Jiang Cheng looked at Yue Xin with greedy eyes; to him, she was a rare, potent supplement in this world.

Not only was her cultivation high, placing her at the pinnacle of the Southern Region, but her appearance was beyond compare.

He was still somewhat picky; he would try his best to choose those with good looks and strength, only lowering his standards when he had no choice.

But now, he had the right to choose.

The more he looked at Yue Xin, the more satisfied he became; such a figure and such beauty were simply unique in this world.

This Yue Xin of the Celestial Maiden Sect was the most beautiful one he had ever seen in the Southern Region.

At this moment, a thought crossed his mind: would it be too much of a pity to absorb her later?

This was also the first time he had such a thought because of someone's appearance.

But he quickly regained his composure; his goals were not limited to this, and he couldn't get hung up on such matters.

Women would only affect the speed of his Cultivation.

Although he had heard that the Celestial Maiden Sect also had a Ling Wanqing, he hadn't received any information about her in all these years.

He only knew that others boasted about her beauty, but she had slowly faded from people's view, and now no one knew her current specific situation.

Although he was somewhat curious, he didn't pay too much attention to it.

Just a Cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage; if he happened to run into her, he might take action, but if he didn't, he wouldn't go out of his way to investigate these things.

The key was that he might not even be able to find anything; a mere Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator was not worth his effort to investigate.

Watching Yue Xin, he didn't dare to act rashly for the moment; if he were exposed here, it would be quite difficult for him to leave.

He hadn't expected to run into her; it seemed his luck today was not good.

Forget it; during this period, he had already absorbed quite a few people elsewhere, and his strength had increased a little.

Let's just treat today as a reconnaissance mission; in any case, this Celestial Maiden Sect would sooner or later become his nourishment.

He wasn't in a rush to act on impulse.

Yue Xin did not notice anyone watching her in the shadows; she was just passing through on her way to another place and had come over to take a look.

Recent matters regarding the Demon Race had kept her busy without stop, and she hadn't had a chance to calm down and rest alone for a long time.

The heavy burden of the entire Celestial Maiden Sect fell upon her shoulders, and her pressure was immense; as the Sect Master of the Celestial Maiden Sect, one of the Eight Great Sects, she had to have a way to deal with the Demon Race.

On Su Yu's side, he looked at Han Shi and said, "That's right, Han Ting is already so grown up; she can already stand on her own."

"Her strength has also reached the Nascent Soul Stage."

Han Shi looked at Su Yu and Ye Lin and said, "Han Ting's achievements are all thanks to the help of you two."

"In the early stages, she had Brother Su's guidance, who taught her current ultimate move, the Sword Drawing Technique, and she relied on this move to let the people of the Southern Region recognize her."

"Later, she had Brother Ye guide her in Sword Intent; Han Ting's current achievements are indeed thanks to you two."

Ye Lin shook his head. "It's only right. The key is that this girl, Han Ting, is very hardworking herself. Although she was a bit naughty in the beginning and we spoiled her a bit too much because the three of us were backing her up."

"It resulted in some arrogant personality traits, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. No matter what she becomes in the future, we will support her."

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, raised their wine cups, and drank them in one gulp.

Han Shi put down the wine cup in his hand. "I don't know how long this War between Immortals and Demons will last."

"In a while, I will have to go out to guard some areas again. This time, the Demon Race army is led by a Demon Ancestor at the Void Refinement Stage."

"We don't know if there are any more Void Refinement Stage experts behind the Demon Race."

"And on our side, there is no news of any Void Refining Cultivators; the only news is that Incarnation of the Void Refining stage from the Spirit Sea Sect back then."

"We don't know what kind of hidden heritage our Sect has. Although Brother Ye can hold off that Void Refinement Stage expert of the Demon Race when the time comes, it will still be very difficult to kill him."

"If only our Sect had an Old Ancestor at the Void Refinement Stage, then Brother Ye, your pressure would be less."

Su Yu and Ye Lin both knew about the two Old Ancestors at the Void Refinement Stage of the Profound Heaven Sect.

In their view, the Myriad Swords Sect and the Celestial Maiden Sect must also have Void Refinement Stage existences, as the three Sects were close to each other.

It was basically impossible for the people of the Demon Race to defeat them.

Although Su Yu knew, he couldn't say it; as an Outer Sect Elder at the Golden Core Stage, how could he possibly know the hidden heritage of the Sect?

So he followed Han Shi's lead and said, "That's right, it would be great if our Profound Heaven Sect had someone at the Void Refinement Stage. I really want to witness the demeanor of a Void Refinement Stage Cultivator."

Ye Lin looked at the two of them; he had already met the two Old Ancestors of the Profound Heaven Sect and had learned a lot from them, especially the Old Ancestor who had mastered the Sword Domain.

But he couldn't tell Su Yu and Han Shi; it wasn't the right time yet.

When the time came, they would naturally know.

Ye Lin spoke up, "There's no need to think so much. When the time comes, as long as I have a Breakthrough to the Void Refinement Stage, everything will be fine."

"That's true."

"During this period, I still need to seize the time to comprehend the threshold of the Void Refinement Stage."

"I have already stepped half a foot into this Void Refinement Stage, but I always feel like I'm missing something."

Su Yu could tell at a glance, but this was something he had to comprehend himself.

For a Child of Destiny, this wasn't a problem.

As the setting sun illuminated the rippling lake surface, the two of them, Han Shi, bid farewell to Su Yu.

They didn't know when the next gathering would be after this one, and they had to go back to their own busy affairs.

Han Shi had to set off again, while Ye Lin had to go and continuously comprehend the Dao of Void Refining.

As for the end of the War between Immortals and Demons and Ye Lin's potential Breakthrough to the Void Refinement Stage, the three of them did not mention it.

Future matters could be discussed later; for now, properly comprehending the present was the most important thing.

Su Yu wouldn't act alone; if someone asked him to go, he would go.

In the eyes of a Passerby, acting alone at this time was just courting death.

Without sufficient strength, if one ran into the Demon Race, it would be over.

Wang Yang and the others would definitely set off again.

But Wang Yang still hadn't fully recovered from his injuries from last time.

Su Yu estimated it wouldn't take long, which also gave Li Yun and the others the opportunity to keep Cultivating.

And summarizing their experience from fighting the Demon Race.

They knew that the next battle was still waiting for them.

It wasn't just them who were improving; the people of the Demon Race were also improving, and had absorbed a lot of experience in battle.

What they would face next time would be an even more powerful Demon Race.

Su Yu looked at the unfinished cup of wine on the table, picked it up, and drank it in one gulp.

Once Ye Lin had a Breakthrough to Void Refining, this great war would soon be over.
