Chapter 2 Ancestor of Luohe Sect, Ancestor Lan Ruo

In an instant, the entire Luohe Sect was stirred.

Chu Yuan had no time to think; he quickly sat cross-legged, closed his eyes tightly, and calmed his mind.

The Spiritual Qi surging into his body was too vast. He circulated his Cultivation Technique, guiding the Spiritual Qi to flow along his Meridians, scouring every acupoint within his body again and again.

His Aura climbed steadily.

Foundation Establishment Late Stage; that Bottleneck he had just struggled with all his might to break through was now like paper, shattering instantly with a gentle push from the Spiritual Qi.

Foundation Establishment Great Perfection!

The Spiritual Qi within his body spun crazily, faster and more intensely. Under extreme compression, the originally gaseous Spiritual Qi gradually thickened, turning into liquid, dripping into his Dantian one drop at a time.

The liquefaction of Spiritual Qi was the precursor to Core Formation.

Boom!!

A dull thud echoed from deep within his body. The liquid Spiritual Qi gathered in his Dantian contracted violently, and under extreme compression, condensed into a perfectly round, translucent golden pill.

Core Formation Early Stage!

However, the Spiritual Qi did not cease; it continued to surge in, continued to scour, and continued to climb.

Core Formation Middle Stage!

His Aura climbed to this point before slowly stopping, like a rising tide finally receding, gradually returning to calm.

Inside the Immortal Cave, the Spiritual Qi slowly dissipated, revealing Chu Yuan sitting cross-legged within.

Crack—

A faint sound was exceptionally clear in the silence.

Chu Yuan opened his eyes, and a flash of blood-red lightning streaked through his pupils. The light was extremely sharp, carrying a heart-palpitating intent of slaughter.

He stood up slowly, clenching his fists slightly. The vast power within his body was like a sleeping Dragon; with just a single thought, he could unleash power capable of destroying the heavens and extinguishing the earth.

Core Formation Middle Stage.

How could it… be so simple to break through?

Not only that, he raised his head, the blood-red lightning flashing in his eyes again, and his Divine Sense spread out without reservation.

Extreme Domain Divine Sense.

From this moment on, he was the number one person under the Nascent Soul stage on the entire Suzaku Planet!

He had cultivated for fifty years, working hard day and night, through the changing seasons, only to barely break through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

But now, having obtained the System for only a few short moments, he had broken through to the Core Formation Middle Stage in one go, and even obtained the Extreme Domain Divine Sense that countless Cultivators dreamed of.

Chu Yuan shook his head and sighed softly.

"No wonder so many people want to use cheats…"

He looked outside the Immortal Cave.

Several Auras approached rapidly, moving at high speed.

Chu Yuan swept his Divine Sense and clearly saw the arrivals. The Luohe Sect had two Nascent Soul Ancestors and nine Core Formation Elders. At this moment, except for a few who were traveling outside and had not returned, almost all of them had arrived.

Two Nascent Soul Auras, one after the other, arrived first and hovered in mid-air; they were precisely the two Ancestors, Ancestor Lan Ruo and Ancestor Mo Yuan.

Several Core Formation Auras followed and arrived successively, landing one after another behind the two Ancestors, each with a solemn expression, as if facing a great enemy.

"Forget it."

Chu Yuan said softly.

"Since that is the case, I will go out and see."

After all, he was an Inner Sect Disciple of the Luohe Sect, one of their own, so he was not particularly worried that they would harm him.

Moreover, with his current strength… he had a plan in mind.

The two Ancestors of the Luohe Sect, Ancestor Lan Ruo was at the Mid-stage Nascent Soul, and Ancestor Mo Yuan was at the Early Stage Nascent Soul.

Although he was only at the Core Formation Middle Stage, he possessed the Extreme Domain Divine Sense; it went without saying that he was invincible among his peers, and even against an Early Stage Nascent Soul, he might not be without the power to fight.

If he really wanted to leave, he should still be able to escape.

He straightened his robes, stood up, and walked step by step toward the outside of the Immortal Cave.

…

Outside.

In mid-air, several figures stood in the air, their robes fluttering. Their Auras were different, but all of them had gazes like torches, falling collectively upon the Immortal Cave below.

Ancestor Lan Ruo wore a plain white dress, her dark hair cascading like a waterfall, and her face was covered by a thin veil. Although her eyes were obscured by the light veil, one could still feel a sharpness that seemed to penetrate the heart.

Beside her, Ancestor Mo Yuan was a withered-looking old man with his eyes slightly closed. His Aura was as deep as an abyss, and he was currently examining the Immortal Cave below, lost in thought.

"The source of the Spiritual Qi disturbance just now was this place."

Ancestor Mo Yuan spoke slowly.

"It actually triggered a Spiritual Qi riot for dozens of miles around; could it be that someone is breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage here?"

Ancestor Lan Ruo did not speak; her eyes, obscured by the veil, drooped slightly as she looked at the Immortal Cave below.

Just then, several more streams of light arrived rapidly from different directions, reaching the front in an instant.

The various Core Formation Elders appeared together, and seeing that the two Ancestors were already there, they quickly bowed and saluted.

"Greetings, Ancestors."

Ancestor Lan Ruo nodded slightly, her voice as cold and clear as a spring: "Whose Immortal Cave is this?"

One of the Elders heard this, quickly stepped forward, and replied respectfully: "Reporting to the Ancestors, this is the cultivation Immortal Cave of the Inner Sect Disciple, Chu Yuan."

"Chu Yuan?"

Ancestor Lan Ruo thought for a moment.

"What is his cultivation level?"

"Ten years ago, he was still at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage."

Ancestor Lan Ruo nodded gently, her tone calm and unruffled: "Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. That phenomenon just now could not have been triggered by someone at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage."

Everyone stopped talking and looked down together.

At the stone gate of the Immortal Cave, Chu Yuan finally walked out.

He raised his eyes to look at the ten figures in mid-air, his expression calm, his footsteps unceasing. With a light leap, his figure arrived in mid-air, and he bowed to Ancestor Lan Ruo and Ancestor Mo Yuan.

"Disciple Chu Yuan greets the two Ancestors and all the Elders."

Ancestor Lan Ruo's gaze fell on Chu Yuan, and in just an instant, she was shocked.

Core Formation Middle Stage!

She exchanged a glance with Ancestor Mo Yuan, both seeing that trace of surprise in the other's eyes.

That Elder clearly said just now that this person was still at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage ten years ago; how could he have leaped to the Core Formation Middle Stage in just ten short years?

Moreover, the commotion of the Spiritual Qi riot just now had even startled the two of them; how could it have been caused by someone at the Core Formation Middle Stage?

"Were you the one who triggered the phenomenon just now?"

Ancestor Lan Ruo asked.

"It was this Disciple."

Chu Yuan was neither humble nor arrogant.

"How did you do it?"

Chu Yuan's expression remained unchanged, his tone calm: "This Disciple had a slight realization today and experienced an Epiphany. I inadvertently caused such a commotion, disturbing the two Ancestors and all the Elders; I hope for your forgiveness."

Once these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

An Epiphany?

Can an Epiphany cause such a phenomenon?

That Spiritual Qi riot almost drained the Spiritual Qi for dozens of miles around; even a Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage would not be much more than this.

You, a Core Formation Middle Stage, caused such a big scene just from an Epiphany? Who are you trying to fool?

However, since Chu Yuan did not want to reveal the truth, it was not appropriate for everyone to press for answers.

Which Cultivator does not have a few secrets?

Moreover, this person was now at the Core Formation Middle Stage; in terms of cultivation, he was no longer below any of the Elders present, and his status and position were already different.

Everyone turned their eyes to Ancestor Lan Ruo. The major and minor affairs of the Luohe Sect had always been decided by this Ancestor Lan Ruo.

Chu Yuan also looked at her.

It had to be said that this Ancestor Lan Ruo was truly stunningly beautiful.

A white dress whiter than snow, dark hair cascading like a waterfall down to her waist, skin like jade, and features so exquisite they seemed carefully carved by the heavens.

The most striking thing was those eyes obscured by the thin veil; although they could not be seen clearly, it added a touch of mysterious, ethereal temperament, making one unable to resist wanting to catch a glimpse of the true face beneath that light veil.

However, Chu Yuan only took one or two extra glances before withdrawing his gaze.

Although she was beautiful, she was not someone he could covet.
