"Second Junior Brother, Fourth Junior Brother, Fifth Junior Sister, you must quickly activate the Sect Protection Array, and ensure that the news of this youngster possessing the Ancient Divine Body does not leak out." ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by NoveI★Fire.net
"The rest of the junior brothers and sisters, follow me to disperse the celestial phenomena above the sky."
Xu Ma’an spoke with a solemn expression on his face.
The other Peak Masters, upon hearing this, hurried to follow the order.
They deeply understood the severity of what Xu Ma’an had said.
The Ancient Divine Body, such a heaven-defying physique, had been possessed by none who did not become a mighty power on their own since ancient times.
That is to say, as long as Lin Chen does not encounter any mishaps, he is destined to be an extraordinary figure in the future.
This is simply a gift from the heavens to their Jade Cauldron Sect. The day Lin Chen rises will also be the day their Jade Cauldron Sect rises in the Great Flame Dynasty and even the entire Mysterious Heaven World.
But if the news that the Jade Cauldron Sect possesses the Ancient Divine Body were to be known by other sects, they would surely do everything in their power to nip Lin Chen in the bud.
Firstly, those hostile sects would definitely be the first to strike, and even fellow sects are full of people who begrudge the success of others.
In the world of cultivation, what’s emphasized is the balance of power between forces.
With such a Heavenly Pride seedling in the Jade Cauldron Sect, their influence is bound to change in a few decades, or at most a hundred years, which will undoubtedly put immense pressure on the other sects and make them feel that their status is threatened.
Therefore, they would not allow the Jade Cauldron Sect to have such a Heavenly Pride.
At this moment, the various Peak Masters flew to the top of their respective peaks, took out the tokens of the Peak Masters, and used the unique power within the tokens to activate the formations set up on their peaks.
Humming sounds filled the air—
In an instant, the spiritual power of heaven and earth underwent a change.
Mysterious and unfathomable formation energies converged towards the Twelfth Peak, eventually forming a shield around the outskirts of the Twelfth Peak.
The shield was hazy, obscuring everything within.
At the same time, Xu Ma’an and the other Peak Masters joined forces to scatter the celestial phenomena in the sky.
Fortunately, the celestial phenomena caused by Lin Chen’s Ancient Divine Body did not possess any attacking power, being merely a display of form. Though persistent, after several combined efforts by everyone, they still managed to disperse the celestial phenomena.
"What’s going on here? All the Peak Masters of the sect have taken action personally, even activating the Sect Protection Array."
"You fool, the Peak Masters must be covering up the celestial phenomena that just occurred. Do you want our Jade Cauldron Sect’s secrets to be peeped at by other enemy sects?"
"I know that, what I mean is, who caused this celestial phenomena? I see all the Peak Masters here, and none of the elder uncles are in seclusion, so what exactly is going on with this phenomena?"
"You menial disciple, what do you need to know so much for? Just do your job."
Although the celestial phenomena in the sky had disappeared, the disciples on the various peaks were bustling with discussion.
And at this moment, within a wooden hut on Jade Bird Peak, the prime culprit behind this great commotion was still deep in cultivation.
Lin Chen, of course, was unaware of the events transpiring outside.
After refining five hundred Spirit Gathering Pills, he had finally opened up the last hundred meridians, thoroughly clearing all three thousand six hundred meridians in his body.
And at the moment when all the meridians were unblocked, his body’s speed of absorbing spiritual power surged once again, becoming more than ten times stronger than before.
The surging spiritual power crazily rushed into his body, and at this moment, Lin Chen’s body achieved a breakthrough naturally, reaching the Spirit Gathering Realm.
At this moment, after absorbing the surging spiritual power, his body was like a volcano erupting at that instant.
"Finally... I’ve recovered to the Spirit Gathering Realm!"
"My strength has increased more than tenfold compared to three years ago. Is this the benefit of having a Divine Body?"
Lin Chen awoke from his cultivation and immediately extended his Spiritual Power to feel the changes in his body.
The incredibly astonishing power within him made him feel an unprecedented sense of strength.
Filled with immense excitement and elation, Lin Chen pushed the door open, eager to test his new strength.
After some time familiarizing himself with Jade Bird Peak, Lin Chen had gotten to know it quite well.
Turning left out the door, he soon found an area piled with disordered stones.
This place, known as Stone Forest, had rocks that were much harder than ordinary stones.
On these stones were many marks, made by the three senior sisters during their previous training sessions. The Stone Forest was specially designated for cultivation purposes.
Currently, Lin Chen hadn’t mastered any powerful Martial Arts Skills suitable for the Spirit Gathering Realm, except for the Mid-Grade Spirit-Level Martial Technique, Fiery Flame Palm, he had bid on at the Wanxing Commerce Association.
But since he was merely testing his strength, Lin Chen didn’t rush to use any Martial Arts Skill. Instead, he swung a normal Palm Wind at the disordered stones in front of him.
A massive stone was directly shattered into gravel by Lin Chen’s palm.
One must know that when those senior sisters were practicing, the winds of swords and blades would barely leave marks on these stones, yet Lin Chen’s palm had turned them completely into rubble.
Looking at the power of his own palm, Lin Chen’s face also showed a surprised expression.
This was hardly the strength of someone who had just entered the Spirit Gathering Realm—it was more like the power of someone at the peak of the Spirit Gathering Realm.
What Lin Chen didn’t know was that at this very moment, above the silent skies, thirteen figures were looking down at him with equal surprise.
"This kid, with the strength of only the First Layer of the Spirit Gathering Realm, is already causing such damage, and that’s without using any Martial Arts Skill. If he adds Martial Arts Skills, hiss..."
Everyone heard Zhao Dachui’s exclamation and involuntarily took a cold breath.
Many of the Peak Masters were internally pondering how to snatch this disciple away from their junior sister.
Such a prodigy, if given to their junior sister to teach, would be a total waste.
"Junior sister, your second senior brother would like to discuss something with you," Li Xuanming said.
The usually stubborn Li Xuanming was now approaching Yang Yuemin quietly, afraid of being seen by the other junior brothers and sisters, he whispered to Yang Yuemin.
"If senior brother is thinking of having me hand this disciple over to you, don’t even think about it. He has already paid his respects as a disciple; he belongs to me, Yang Yuemin."
Seeing Li Xuanming’s sneaky appearance, Yang Yuemin guessed his thoughts.
It would be strange if her obstinate second senior brother showed up without wanting something.
Yang Yuemin spoke loudly enough that it also deterred other people who shared Li Xuanming’s thoughts.
Hearing Yang Yuemin’s words, each Peak Master sighed, realizing that snatching Lin Chen from her might be an impossible task.
Several Peak Masters, still not giving up, looked at Xu Ma’an for help.
Their eyes seemed to say, if this kid ends up with the junior sister, it would be a shame.
However, Xu Ma’an, slapping his forehead, was also at a loss for what to do.
About this junior sister, what could he possibly do? You all know too well how much of a headache she can be.
Once something good enters her mouth, how could she possibly spit it out!
