Chapter 496: Chapter 497: The Situation of Han Yueli (4th Update)

Chu Fengmian approached Bai Xuan’s cave dwelling and revealed his aura, without remaining concealed any longer.

At that moment, Bai Xuan suddenly noticed Chu Fengmian outside her dwelling.

"Oh?"

Surprise faintly spread across Bai Xuan’s face.

"Your realm really has broken through. I didn’t expect you to be able to pass through the prohibitions of the Yunwu Mountain Range. It seems that your accumulation in the Ruling Wind Realm cannot be underestimated."

Even Bai Xuan herself would find it difficult to sneak into the range of prohibitions on the Yunwu Mountains.

Now that Chu Fengmian had managed to enter without making a sound, this was indeed far beyond Bai Xuan’s expectations.

"Just a minor breakthrough. My strength has long been capable of reaching the Divine Power realm; I was merely building it up, preparing for a substantial burst," Chu Fengmian said casually. He wasn’t overly modest, as excessive humility could lead to disdain from others.

Since he was planning to explore the Void Sea with Bai Xuan and seek out the cave dwelling of the Ancient Dragon Emperor, Chu Fengmian needed to show strength at least on a par with Bai Xuan’s.

Only then would there be room for cooperation.

"Stepping into the Divine Power realm, with your current strength, it’s just a matter of time before you’re promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple. You should be capable of ranking in the top ten of the Earth List."

"That’s good. Some people had their reservations about your strength, but now you’ve proven to be fully on our level."

Bai Xuan spoke with a smile.

"You and Han Yueli are simply two monsters. I don’t even know where you sprang from; each of you is more monstrous than the last."

"What about Yue Li?"

Hearing Bai Xuan’s words, Chu Fengmian was taken aback, and then asked.

He had not heard much about Han Yueli’s affairs, but from Bai Xuan’s words, she seemed to know something.

After all, Bai Xuan was an Inner Sect Disciple and considered a veteran in Beimang Academy; she naturally had access to more information than Chu Fengmian.

Chu Fengmian had made some inquiries in Beimang Academy but didn’t know the specifics, as Han Yueli was now a Core Disciple with a lofty status.

Many things remained unknown to Chu Fengmian.

"You don’t know? It seems she must still be in the secret realm, cultivating, which is why she hasn’t had the chance to tell you."

Hearing Chu Fengmian’s words, Bai Xuan first expressed surprise and then went on to explain.

"I actually heard it from my master. My master is Elder Hongjun of Beimang Academy, an old acquaintance of Elder Bingli, so that’s how I know some details."

"In fact, as soon as Sect Sister Han Yueli arrived at Beimang Academy, she was taken by Elder Bingli to the Beimang Secret Realm to cultivate."

Beimang Secret Realm.

Chu Fengmian had also heard about this from Tuoba Ding. The Beimang Secret Realm was the true Holy Land for cultivation in Beimang Academy.

More mysterious than the Holy Mountain, the Holy Mountain could be accessed by anyone with enough Merit Points to exchange for qualification.

However, to go to the Beimang Secret Realm, only elders with significant authority could apply to the academy, and it would cost a great deal.

It seems Elder Bingli truly wished to nurture Han Yueli well, having sent her into the Beimang Secret Realm.

No wonder Chu Fengmian couldn’t find any news about Han Yueli; the Beimang Secret Realm was beyond his current reach.

Chu Fengmian was lost in his thoughts when Bai Xuan continued to speak on the side.

"Just yesterday, Han Yueli had passed the life-and-death tribulation within our Beimang Academy’s Beimang Secret Realm and stepped into the Life and Death Realm."

"And the tribulation Han Yueli faced was the Thousand-Thunder Imperial Tribulation."

Bai Xuan’s two sentences were like a thunderclap, causing Chu Fengmian’s face to reveal a hint of shock.

Han Yueli had actually broken through and stepped into the Life and Death Realm, and even attracted the Thousand-Thunder Imperial Tribulation.

Although the Thousand-Thunder Imperial Tribulation wasn’t as formidable as the Ten-Thousand-Thunder Emperor Tribulation, it could only be triggered by the talents among talents.

Han Yueli’s talent was indeed extraordinary, bringing forth the mysterious cold power within her body and leading to the Thousand-Thunder Imperial Tribulation; once she had overcome it, it would likely greatly benefit her future.

Having stepped into the Life and Death Realm, with Han Yueli’s talent, she would definitely not be weaker than some of the triple or quadruple-layered Life and Death Realm powerhouses.

Within Beimang Academy, her strength must have already surpassed that of ordinary elders, and her status had skyrocketed instantly.

"Now, Han Yueli’s status can be said to be above many elders; she even caught the attention of some old-timers from the academy and has been announced as a promoted Core Disciple."

Bai Xuan looked at Chu Fengmian, observing the absence of worry on his face, only a joyful expression, and couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

"Aren’t you worried?"

"What should I worry about?"

Chu Fengmian replied with a casual smile.

The stronger Han Yueli became, the happier Chu Fengmian naturally was. At the very least, her elevated status in Beimang Academy meant much more safety for her.

After all, Han Yueli possessed an Innate Divine Body with the power of mysterious cold, which was highly tempting to many martial artists.

The stronger Han Yueli became, the more at ease Chu Fengmian felt.

"Right now, Han Yueli’s status has already surpassed you and me. With many old-timers from Beimang Academy valuing her and focusing on her cultivation, it is very likely she will be promoted to Core Disciple."

Bai Xuan said, looking at Chu Fengmian, her eyes showing a strange glint of light.

"Although your strength has broken through, you’re still only at the fourth level of the Divine Power Realm, which is a substantial gap away from the Life and Death Realm. At most, you can only be promoted to become an Inner Sect Disciple."

"It is said that many Core Disciples in Beimang Academy are pursuing Han Yueli fervently, even the number one among Core Disciples, the leader of the Holy Faction, the Ancient Dragon Emperor, is after her."

"Your relationship with Han Yueli is more than just friends, isn’t it? Aren’t you worried?"

As Bai Xuan spoke, she also observed the expression on Chu Fengmian’s face, where any minute change could not escape her eyes.

Yet, to her disappointment, Chu Fengmian showed no signs of worry, no jealousy; he showed no changes at all.

Only a very calm, confident smile.

"Han Yueli’s status is on the rise, and I can only be happy about that. As for the others, if they dare to go after Han Yueli, then there is only a path of death for them."

Chu Fengmian said calmly.

Yet within those words, one could hear a chilling killing intent that could make one shudder.

Even Bai Xuan, upon sensing this killing intent, couldn’t help but tremble with fear.

Chu Fengmian’s realm was clearly just at the fourth level of the Divine Power Realm, but upon hearing his voice, Bai Xuan was deeply frightened.

It wasn’t that Chu Fengmian didn’t worry or feel jealousy, but he had the confidence that whoever dared touch Han Yueli, he would kill them.

Even for the first amongst the Core Disciples, the Ancient Dragon Emperor, Chu Fengmian would eventually kill him too.
