Chapter 1026 - Begin!
Chapter 1026: Begin!
Four bestial overseers roamed the mountains of the Residence of Nine Supremes. The overlord aura that flowed from them unnerved the disciples.
Faced with such immense pressure, the cultivation effect was actually better than previously as all the disciples actually cultivated better under it.
“It’s been fifteen days.”
Dong Qitian passed about a dozen of jade bottles to Yun Yang expressionlessly.
“Be careful when you use them. I’m warning you for the last time, the success rate of consuming the Emerald Cloud Pill and advancing is twenty percent at most!”
“The risks involved… I hope that you can consider it for these children.”
“I know, I know!”
Yun Yang received the bottled gleefully.
Whether the Residence of Nine Supremes could rise like a dragon this time all depended on these bottles of medicinal pills! This batch of pill refinement actually depleted more than three million upper-class spiritual jade pieces worth of heaven and earth treasures.
Upon carefully checking the cultivation base of all the pupils, Yun Yang ordered, “All disciples are to gather at the Central Peak’s hall in the night, one day hence!”
At this point in time, the cultivation of every disciple in the Residence of Nine Supremes had come to Heaven Mystic and above. It was an appropriate time to promote their level like an arrow from a bow.
“Emmie, get yourself ready. It’s your show time after this, to weave another miracle belonging to the Residence of Nine Supremes!”
…
A day later, all high-level executives of the residence were assembled, including Dong Qitian, who was usually elusive.
In fact, other than the top brass in the Residence of Nine Supremes, not a handful among the children had seen Dong Qitian’s actual person despite knowing that they had a masterly expert in the school. After all, Dong Qitian had intended to leave the sect at any point after he fulfilled his terms, so he kept himself from making too many bonds.
Bonding with the Residence of Nine Supremes’ younger disciples meant planting seeds of causes and effects. To a superbly skilled cultivator like Dong Qitian, one’s biggest taboo was to make additional karma. No matter how envious and admiring he was towards the younger generation of the residence’s protégés, he was reluctant to simply make such a bond.
Old Sir Dong had revealed himself in front of everyone today, then, mainly because he knew about the purpose of this assembly, to enhance the children’s cultivation base by consuming five types of medicinal pills, including the Emerald Cloud Pill. Having a veteran like Dong Qitian around could, of course, allow an earlier notice of disciples who reacted negatively during the pill consumption and, thus, an earlier rescue could be affected.
Dong Qitian estimated that he could add another five percent of success to the twenty percent he had evaluated earlier now that he was helping. The old man genuinely felt sorry for these prodigious children of the residence; he was doing his best, hoping to save as many children as he could!
Perhaps Dong Qitian did not realize it himself. He was regarding these juniors more now, sympathizing and being fond of them. It was already a deviation from his initial objective of completely not wanting to build any ties.
Currently, all seventy-five first-generation disciples of the Residence of Nine Supremes stood confidently behind their masters in anticipation. Each of them was guessing the reason the Lead Supreme had summoned the full assembly. Had anything huge happened? Perhaps… they were about to depart to the Celestial Luck Banner competition venue now?
A moment later, Yun Yang slowly stepped out from the Central Peak’s hall, wearing his usual smile.
“The top ten disciples please step forward.”
“Yes.”
The top ten ranking disciples of the Residence of Nine Supremes rose immediately and lined up below the stage.
Glancing at them, Yun Yang discreetly nodded in approval. He had not seen them for only a short period of time, but ten of them seemed to have made significant headway again.
The top disciple, Sun Mingxiu, was already the first tier of Supreme intermediate now. It was not even an exaggeration to call his improvement petrifying.
Shi Wuchen was smug; it felt so good to see his best disciple also be the best among all the others.
Whilst Yu Chenghang had just made a breakthrough to the first tier of Supreme, he had already stabilized and secured the state.
The other disciples’ cultivation bases were decent as well, basically around the second and third tier of Immortal Mystic; the last among them was still a first-tier Immortal Mystic intermediate. Based on their cultivation period, their level of realm was already unbelievably fast.
To this day, Dong Qitian still felt that the cultivation progress of the Residence of Nine Supremes’ disciples was second to none in the Bound of Universe and the one and only since the beginning of time!
Nevertheless, the one among the top ten protégés who surprised Yun Yang the most was still Bai Yexing.
Bai Yexing’s cultivation base was currently at the Supreme level as well. Although he had just achieved the breakthrough and had yet to stabilize his state, being slightly weaker than Yu Chenghang, Yun Yang had a hunch about this boy that perhaps Yu Chenghang’s second placing would not be secure in the next intra-sect contest.
As Yun Yang squinted in time, Luo Dajiang was indeed seen pulling a long face while Bai Yexing’s master, Kong Luoyue, looked pleased and complacent.
“If all goes as expected, one could step across a full level and go right above Supreme upon consuming the five medicinal pills… Sun Mingxiu will be able to advance to Supreme Acme ace and will be only a step away from Honor. As for the others, they’ll be also be scattered across the Supreme Acme level.”
“Ten of you, follow me.” Yun Yang nodded and said, “Shi Wuchen, you fellows as well, come in with me.”
It was necessary that Shi Wuchen and others be vigilant by the side during the process of consuming the medicinal pills and advancing. No matter how confident Yun Yang was regarding the pill-aided breakthrough in addition to Emmie’s assistance on the sidelines, having no one to stand guard was still an extremely perilous thing to do.
Despite how talented and resilient Sun Mingxiu, Bai Yexing, and all the children were, their time in the cultivation journey was short. They had been cruising a smooth trail all the time, so it was inevitable that their ability to cope with an unexpected crisis could be inadequate when faced with inexplicable harm.
Furthermore, these newbies had no previous experience of achieving a breakthrough by leveraging external forces. They had no idea how it was done completely. No one else except Shi Wuchen and friends had the prerequisites to complete this guiding.
Nonetheless, the Demiurge-Flawed Ten were not made aware of the medicinal pill-aided breakthrough before this. That was why shock was written all over their faces when they heard Yun Yang upon entering.
Compared to Dong Qitian, Shi Wuchen, Luo Dajiang, and others did not mind their protégés consuming medicinal pills that would promote their cultivation base. After all, they had taken Dong Qitian’s pills earlier and had remarkable improvement without any side effects. What they questioned in surprise was, instead, if the second consumption was relevant since it was said that repeated usage of medicinal pills would either be useless or suffer a reduction in effect.
Taking in the doubtful gazes, Yun Yang pressed his lips together and answered, “The medicinal pills the children are taking this time are different from the last. Think about it; why would I fight for this year’s Celestial Luck Banner meet if there wasn’t this second boost?”
