Chapter 331: Chapter 331: Promotion to Transcendent_1

Moon Hua Sect had a rule that anyone who breaks through to the Transcendent Realm before the age of one hundred could automatically enter the Inner Sect and become an Inner Sect Disciple.

After all, longevity increases by as much as a hundred years after advancing to the Transcendent Realm, and one hundred years of age does not seem old any longer.

So this restriction is relatively lenient.

Zhao Zhi could have broken through much earlier, but he received many insights from Ling Xiao and realized there were many issues in his cultivation process; therefore, he deliberately suppressed his cultivation level and didn’t break through.

During this time, he resolved these issues one by one, and his strength also improved significantly.

Although he is currently only a Transcendent Realm First Layer Martial Artist, once he advances, even Martial Artists of the Transcendent Realm Second Layer wouldn’t dare to underestimate him.

This is the effect of accumulation; after all, Transcendent Realm First Layer Martial Artists are basically subject to bullying within the Inner Sect.

Master Baiyun is the best example.

After advancing to the Transcendent Realm, Zhao Zhi went to thank Ling Xiao and also wanted to gauge his own strength.

However, he still lost in ten moves.

As he was leaving, Zhao Zhi said with a wry smile, "Senior Brother Ling, you are already this formidable now; if you were to advance to the Transcendent Realm, I’m afraid that no one below the Transcendent Realm Third Layer within the Inner Sect could do anything to you."

He had sparred with Ling Xiao many times, so he was very aware that if Ling Xiao hadn’t deliberately wanted to advance three kinds of potential at the same time, he might have advanced much earlier than him.

In his heart, Zhao Zhi speculated that Ling Xiao’s talent must be stronger than it appeared, and although he didn’t know why Ling Xiao chose to keep such a low profile, he wouldn’t go around talking about it.

Deep down, he already considered Ling Xiao a friend, and a very good friend at that.

A few days later, Zhao Ci broke through to the Transcendent Realm, became an Inner Sect Disciple, and also took an elder of the Northern Han Kingdom’s Imperial Family as a mentor.

Originally, among their group of disciples, Leng Hao had the best talent, but he was early taken away by the Golden Light Heavenly Lord.

After that, it was Zhao Zhi and Xu Ying.

However, Xu Ying, wanting to harm Ling Xiao, ended up being killed by Ling Xiao, while Zhao Zhi became friends with Ling Xiao and smoothly broke through to the Transcendent Realm.

Following them were Zhao Ci and Leng Mei.

Now that Zhao Ci has also broken through to the Transcendent Realm, it’s unknown how Leng Mei is doing.

Zhao Ci naturally wouldn’t look for Ling Xiao; in her eyes, Ling Xiao was an unforgivable demon, a devil who killed without blinking.

Especially after hearing that Ling Xiao had killed Xu Ying and Wang Feng, her conviction was even more solidified.

Several more days passed, and news of Dai Yuling’s advancement to the Transcendent Realm spread.

Dai Yuling’s talent wasn’t high, but her method of cultivation was different from ordinary people, so her speed nearly caught up to Zhao Ci’s.

Of course, Dai Yuling’s cultivation method benefited from her Martial Soul as well as her personality and knowledge, which others could not learn.

After all, she was a descendant of a medical family in the secular world.

Before heading to the Inner Sect to report, Dai Yuling also looked for Ling Xiao; she wouldn’t doubt Ling Xiao’s qualifications.

"Ling Xiao, I’m heading to the Inner Sect first. You can’t be too slow, or else no one will be there to protect me," she said.

Of course, that was just a joke.

But Ling Xiao’s reply was very earnest, "If anyone bullies Senior Sister, Jin Ming and the others are the best examples."

Dai Yuling left with tears in her eyes.

She had no siblings growing up and her childhood had been very lonely; her parents were extremely strict, so she was rather cold and had never thought she would feel affection towards a man.

Yet Ling Xiao truly moved her.

Perhaps there were feelings of romance, but even more so, there was gratitude, there was emotion, there was kinship.

In the nearly half a month’s time, Ling Xiao had certainly not been idle; his "Twelve Golden Lotus Art" had smoothly broken through to the third layer.

The power of the Celestial Phenomenon had fully entered the beginner stage, its might greatly increased, and at this moment, because he could now harness three kinds of Celestial Phenomenon Power and combine their use, he could essentially render the "Snow Lotus Sword Technique" unmatched among martial arts of the same level.

Wind and thunder were all meant for offensive maneuvers.

While rain not only had offensive effects but could also aid in recovery, this provided Ling Xiao with yet another life-saving method.

In addition, the final move of the "Snow Lotus Sword Technique," "Ice and Snow Storm," was also beginning to take shape, basically able to unleash about thirty percent of its power.

But don’t underestimate this thirty percent power; in fact, it was even stronger than the attacks of the first three moves of the "Snow Lotus Sword Technique," simply overwhelming and formidable.

If combined with the "Twelve Golden Lotus Art," instantly killing a martial artist at the first layer of the Transcendent Realm was not an impossibility.

And this instant kill was not a stealth attack like the Sword Control Technique, but a head-on instant kill!

Of course, many people did not understand his strength, and many did not comprehend his true intentions.

Among the Outer Sect, there was certainly a lot of discussion about him.

"Although Ling Xiao is the number one in the Outer Sect, I’m afraid this is as far as he goes. His talent is not as good as Zhao Zhi and Zhao Ci, nor does he have special cultivation methods like Dai Yuling."

"That’s right, it’s such a pity. I actually like Senior Brother Ling a lot. Even though he is the top of the Outer Sect, he never bullies us, and he even gave me a few pointers last time that led to an epiphany."

"I heard that the Outer Sect is planning to hire Ling Xiao as a special instructor. Actually, being an instructor isn’t bad, and if one cannot advance to the Inner Sect, becoming an instructor means having a secure livelihood."

Everyone had great respect for Ling Xiao, but they also found it a pity.

...

Ling Xiao had actually heard all these opinions.

But he didn’t mind, for he knew his own situation the best.

At present, the only difficulty was the "Heavenly Dragon Golden Body"; as long as the "Heavenly Dragon Golden Body" broke through the fifth layer, he could immediately promote to the Transcendent Realm.

However, since continuous closed-door cultivation brought no progress, he simply paused his cultivation and concocted several batches of pills.

Then he had Elder Bai gather the twenty-nine Half-step Grandmasters from among the Outer Disciples who showed promise of advancing to the Transcendent Realm, excluding himself.

He gifted each person ten Martial Vein Body Shaping Pills that he had concocted.

He then spent a day solving the cultivation problems of these twenty-nine people.

With the Mountain and River Martial Soul he possessed, he could easily identify the issues in their cultivation practices.

While resolving their cultivation issues, Ling Xiao himself also had many insights.

Thoughts that he had always been unable to comprehend suddenly seemed to open up.

So he rushed back to his cave dwelling and began to cultivate throughout the night.

He succeeded!

Ling Xiao had not expected that after this session of cultivation, the "Heavenly Dragon Golden Body" would break through to the fifth layer quite easily.

This layer totally transformed him, renewing his body from head to toe, upgrading and transforming completely, possessing a full Heavenly Dragon bloodline, capable of regenerating from a single drop of blood and then breaking through to the Extraordinary Sacred Realm!

At the same time, his cultivation level also broke through the obstruction and went straight to the pinnacle of the Transcendent Realm First Layer!

Initially, his promotion should have been to the early stage of the Transcendent Realm First Layer, but he had accumulated so much True Essence that he went straight to the pinnacle of the Transcendent Realm First Layer in one go.

The quality of his True Essence had long reached this extent; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to instantly kill Xu Ying and Wang Feng before.
