The next day.
Heavenly Pillar Peak.
On the square.
There were already dozens of people gathered here.
Jiang Yuan had also arrived.
Lu Qingshan watched the several people in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.
Among the ten people chosen to fight this time, apart from Jiang Yuan, the highest cultivation level was the Meridian Opening Realm’s eighth level, and the lowest was the Meridian Opening Realm’s sixth level.
These were already the most powerful individuals under the age of twenty-five in the current generation of the Supreme Mystery Sect.
At the age of twenty-five, one generally had been a member for six to seven years.
For the great majority of outstanding disciples, it took about three years to transcend from the Body Forging Realm to the next level.
And it’s even harder for the Meridian Opening Realm if one does not have a naturally strong divine soul.
One has to comprehend the Contemplation Diagram, contemplating the pre-existing spirits or heavenly apparitions in the legends to condense the strength of the divine soul.
Meanwhile, one has to open one’s spiritual vein, and also earn cultivation resources.
In this realm, without a naturally strong divine soul or any particular encounter, anyone who can transcend this realm in ten years can be called a heaven genius.
If one can go through five levels of the Meridian Opening Realm in three years, without any special encounters, it would take at least a dozen years for the next couple of realms.
The difficulty of cultivation, one level is higher than the other.
That is why Lu Qingshan highly regarded Jiang Yuan.
Although Jiang Yuan was born with a strong divine soul, his quick rate of breakthrough was no longer solely because of this.
To ordinary cultivators, even with an abundance of spiritual stones, they couldn’t reach this speed of breakthrough.
Unless they take top-grade heaven and earth treasures, the kind of treasures that the human body can easily refine and absorb!
Otherwise, solely by refining spiritual energy within one’s meridian, the time required for refining due to its limited capacity would be several years.
At the same time.
Everyone had arrived, except for Nie Xuan and Lu Qingshan.
The several elders and chiefs looked at Jiang Yuan with uncertainty due to his aura.
Is this … the aura of the Spiritual Sea Realm?
Or is it the aura of the second level of the Spiritual Sea Realm?
The Second Elder glanced at Lu Qingshan and secretly communicated, “Sect Leader, you kept me in the dark! Jiang Yuan has broken through to the second level of the Spiritual Sea Realm and you did not inform us!”
Lu Qingshan smiled and replied silently, “I kept it a secret to prevent any unexpected incidents. I hope you understand!”
“I understand!” The Second Elder was somewhat excited.
The second level of the Spiritual Sea Realm!
What a shocking talent it is.
His journey has been unstoppable.
Even the grand boundary of the Spiritual Sea Realm cannot stop him; it’s a fortunate thing for the Supreme Mystery Sect!
Just then, Chief Mu of Divine Maiden Peak, spotted Mu Qianru next to Jiang Yuan.
“Who is she?”
She was somewhat hesitant because she couldn’t see through the realm of the woman beside Jiang Yuan.
And she had never seen this red-cloaked girl beside Jiang Yuan before.
Chief Mu spoke in a very low voice, but the chief elder standing beside her heard her doubt.
Then the eyes of everyone fell on Mu Qianru.
Everyone’s expression suddenly became frozen.
Chief Wu Yin of Slanting Moon Peak also asked, “Jiang Yuan, who is this girl in red beside you? Why is she here?”
Lu Qingshan suddenly said, “Who she is, I know. There’s no need to ask more questions.”
“Yes, Sect Leader!” Wu Yin nodded and said no more.
However, Chief Mu from the Divine Maiden Peak did not take her eyes off her.
Instead, her eyes fell on Mu Qianru’s wrist, and then on her ankle. Suddenly, she saw the Soul-capturing Bell on her wrists and ankles.
Her pupils suddenly contracted and she slowly said, “Mu Qianru, it’s actually you!”
“Auntie is really smart, and you actually recognized me!” said Mu Qianru, chuckling.
Then she took off her mask, revealing her face.
In an instant.
Everyone present was taken aback.
“It’s actually her, Mu Qianru!”
“Who is Mu Qianru?”
“You don’t know who she is? The only saintess of the Heavenly Demon Sect, ranked forty-seventh on the Heavenly Ranking!”
“Then why is she following Jiang Yuan? Could it be that she is holding Jiang Yuan captive, just to sneak into the Supreme Mystery Sect?”
“Who knows?”
Jiang Yuan, too, was surprised and looked at her, “What is your relationship with Chief Mu?”
Mu Qianru said, “She is my father’s sister, in other words, my aunt!”
“Um…” Jiang Yuan was momentarily speechless.
No wonder both of them had the last name Mu.
Seeing her, Chief Mu felt a headache.
Her niece was a well-known saintess of the Heavenly Demon Sect, so why had she come to the Supreme Mystery Sect?
Did the Heavenly Demon Sect have any intentions towards the Supreme Mystery Sect?
Was it because of the recent movements of the Imperial Family of the Qianyuan Kingdom?
Thinking about this, she frowned and then said to Mu Qianru, “What are you doing here at the Supreme Mystery Sect?”
“Auntie, you think I want to come! I don’t want to come to the Supreme Mystery Sect at all!” She sighed with helplessness.
“Unfortunately, I lost to another’s skill and was captured and brought here. My freedom is even lost.” She pitifully said.
Her expression immediately stirred up the hearts of the disciples around her.
“Quiet!” Lu Qingshan uttered a word, and the surrounding disciples instantly came back to their senses, sweating profusely, completely dare not look at Mu Qianru again.
“It was a terrifying charm. Just a single expression, and my mind nearly gave in!” Someone remarked with lingering fear.
“Who can say no!” Someone agreed, “It’s no wonder Mu Qianru’s reputation is so illustrious. She truly is the saintess of the Heavenly Demon Sect!”
As for the word demoness, they absolutely dared not say in front of Mu Qianru.
Didn’t you see that Chief Mu is her auntie? In this case.
Mu Qianru’s status here was also extraordinary, having a blood relation with the chief of Divine Maiden Peak, it bound them more than them.
At this time, upon hearing her words, Chief Mu was immediately taken aback.
Defeated? Captured?
She had heard of her niece’s strength.
A naturally born Demon Cultivator, who was extremely compatible with the Six Desires Heavenly Demon technique of the Heavenly Demon Sect. This technique was essentially tailor-made for her.
