The Clan Master Can t possibly Be A Mortal

Chapter 355: Chapter 355: Great Destiny Bearer, Shi Lei’s Sprint (Five Updates)
 

“`

“Guli Xiwa La…”

“`

The Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect sketched a light array in mid-air, infusing it with evil Qi, and then chanted a spell with exceedingly strange syllables. The evil Qi instantly collapsed into the power of curse and began to extrapolate.

The power of curse was condensing.

However, when the image appeared, the Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect found that the area where Misty Sect was located was shrouded in a layer of golden light, like a sun, dazzling and bright.

“So blinding!”

The Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect quickly averted his gaze.

After a while, the image collapsed.

He was actually unable to obtain any details about Misty Sect.

“The ancestral memories of the Prophet Clan mentioned that when one extrapolates a golden light, it means the other party is shrouded in great destiny. With my current abilities, I cannot perform the extrapolation.”

“So, Misty Sect has a great destiny!”

“No wonder they jumped to become a Star-Level Sect within a few short months and also have powerful individuals like Ye Feng and Hu Feifei, who can even burst a Spirit Sea Realm demon fiend.”

“It seems this sect is more complex than I thought.”

The Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect became even more wary of Misty Sect.

In the end, he gave up on the extrapolation.

Unless his divination abilities improved further, it would be impossible to extrapolate any information about Misty Sect, which was protected by a great destiny.

“Forget it, for now, let’s leave Misty Sect be. What really needs attention is when the spiritual energy tide will arrive and just how powerful my Meat Mountain monster can become.”

The Sect Master of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect muttered to himself.

…

Misty Sect.

Ye Feng was watering the plants with Spirit Spring Water.

At this moment, Shi Lei arrived at Misty Peak and bowed to Ye Feng, “Sect Master Uncle, I am ready to attempt the Element Gathering Realm breakthrough.”

“You’ve reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refinement?” Ye Feng raised an eyebrow, checking Shi Lei’s aura and found his foundation quite solid and his state quite good.

Under such circumstances, one can attempt the breakthrough.

“Alright, go and begin your closed-door training.”

“Yes.”

Shi Lei arrived by the Spiritual Spring, sat cross-legged in the area with the richest spiritual energy, continuously solidifying his cultivation level, and then attempted the breakthrough.

At this moment, Lan Die and Chu Yun’er arrived at the base of the Cultivation Tower.

“This is the legendary Cultivation Tower, Elder Gong mentioned that if we can reach the seventh floor, we’ll have a chance to break through a minor realm,” Lan Die said with longing.

Chu Yun’er said, “But Elder Gong also mentioned that currently within our sect, only two people have entered the seventh floor, one is her, and the other is Mo Ying.”

Pointing at the fifth floor, Lan Die said, “With Steward Yun’er’s strength, reaching the fifth floor shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

“Hard to say, let’s go and see!”

The two women entered it simultaneously.

“Are there new junior sisters arriving?”

“Eh, this junior sister seems a bit anxious, she looks almost as old as my mom.”

“Are you dumb? That’s Steward Chu Yun’er, with a cultivation level of Element Gathering Realm first-layer.”

“Steward, hello!”

Upon seeing Chu Yun’er, the disciples discussed for a bit, then all greeted her.

“Greetings, everyone,” replied Chu Yun’er to Li Jiaojiao and the other disciples, and then she entered the Gravity Zone to cultivate.

…

Three days later.

Shi Lei, by the Spiritual Spring, felt his condition peak and started challenging the Element Gathering Realm.

Whether it was transforming spiritual power into True Yuan or expanding meridians, he handled it with ease, without any hitches.

Unfortunately, when it came time to condense his spiritual sense, due to his innately low talent, there was a mishap.

Whirl! A surge of energy burst from Shi Lei, shaking the surroundings on the verge of explosion.

Pugh!

Following that, Shi Lei collapsed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. His brow contorted briefly as the spiritual sense that had just started to condense in his sea of consciousness dissipated, clearly indicating a failed breakthrough.

“Eh, a failure?”

Ye Feng noticed this and let out a light sigh.

For cultivators, the impact of reaching the Element Gathering Realm is indeed so cruel.

Even Mo Ying, who possessed an upper-grade root bone, ended in failure the first time she tried.

As for Shi Lei, his aptitude was indeed too ordinary.

In other Sects, his failure to breakthrough would have left him with no chance of reaching the Element Gathering Realm in this lifetime.

“Sect Master Uncle, I’ve failed.”

In the Sect Leader’s Great Hall, Shi Lei hung his head low, his face etched with disappointment, and his voice carried much bitterness.

“If you’ve failed, then simply start over.” Ye Feng patted Shi Lei’s shoulder and took out a Meridian Recurrence Pill.

“Sect Master, this is?”

“The Meridian Recurrence Pill can revert your meridians back to the state they were before your attempt to reach the Element Gathering Realm. It can also enhance their toughness, significantly increasing your chances of success.”

“Does that mean that Junior Sister Mo Ying also got a second chance to break through because of the Meridian Recurrence Pill, after her initial failure?”

“Of course.”

“Thank you, Sect Master Uncle!”

Shi Lei was moved to tears.

“Remember, the existence of the Meridian Recurrence Pill must not be revealed within the Sect. I don’t want our disciples to rely on chance,” Ye Feng said sternly, as a reminder.

“Rest assured, Sect Master Uncle, I’ll keep it a secret,” Shi Lei assured.

Shi Lei swallowed the Meridian Recurrence Pill, and his meridians quickly reverted; then, sitting cross-legged next to the Spiritual Spring, he continued to strike at the barrier between realms.

The process went very smoothly this time.

Whoosh!

Three days later, a whirlwind of Spiritual Energy surged from nearby, its diameter over a dozen meters. It spiraled in the sky before pouring down into Shi Lei’s body.

“Look, someone else has broken through to the Element Gathering Realm!”

“It’s Big Brother!”

“He is really worthy of being our Big Brother; after Senior Sister Mo, Brother Huo, Sister Jia, and Sister Yan, he is now the fifth genius in our Misty Sect to enter the Element Gathering Realm!”

When the second-generation disciples from Feilai Peak saw the vortex of Spiritual Energy, they cast envious and admiring glances toward the summit of Misty Peak.

“Work hard in your cultivation, and you too will have the chance to enter the Element Gathering Realm one day,” Gong Qingqiu said softly, encouraging them.

“Yes,” the disciples nodded in agreement.

After Shi Lei broke through to the Element Gathering Realm, he temporarily refrained from visiting the Cultivation Tower and instead got busy within the Sect.

“I’ve spent too much time breaking through to the Element Gathering Realm. Now, it’s time to continue with the Sect’s construction work,” Shi Lei took the initiative to contact Gong Qingqiu.

“Yu Lan and Ru Yu are just about to go to the ruins of Shuiyang City to build a brand new Spiritual Medicine Field. How about you assist them?” Upon hearing Shi Lei’s thoughts, Gong Qingqiu quickly made a suggestion.

Seeing him hesitate, Gong Qingqiu added, “I have the Sect Territory Deed for the Shuiyang City ruins in my possession, so you can build it with confidence.”

“Alright, I’ll go now,” Shi Lei said and, stepping onto the Qingfeng Sword, flew towards Shuiyang City, thousands of miles away.

Atop Misty Peak.

Ye Feng watched the departing figure of Shi Lei and thought to himself that this fellow was truly a construction fanatic – he had just made a breakthrough and was already thinking of Sect construction.

But this was good.

At that moment, Hu Feifei came over with a calendar in hand.

“Sect Master, the time you marked is approaching,” she said, pointing to a date encircled in red on the calendar.

Ye Feng slapped his forehead and said, “I almost forgot, I still have to refine the Bloodline Purifying Pills.”

Once a month, that was the agreement between Ye Feng and Liu Ming.

Now, with only one day left before Liu Ming’s arrival, Ye Feng hurriedly gathered various Spiritual Medicine materials, opened the Virtual Pill Refining Furnace, and began the refining process.

By noon the next day.

“Sect Master Ye, your Hall Master is here again.”

Liu Ming landed on the summit of Misty Peak to find Ye Feng, who had been waiting for a while, and Ye Feng slowly took out a storage ring.

“Here are two hundred Bloodline Purifying Pills. It will be forty thousand Spirit Stones,” Ye Feng announced the price.

“I’ll give you fifty thousand,” Liu Ming said generously.

Ye Feng didn’t hesitate to take the offer. Although he didn’t know why Liu Ming was so affluent, he directly accepted the fifty thousand Spirit Stones.

At that moment, Liu Ming looked around and noticed that the vast Misty Sect housed only a few dozen disciples, making it seem quite meager.

“Sect Master Ye, why not recruit more disciples?” Liu Ming asked, voicing his puzzlement.

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng felt a bit depressed.

He would grow stronger simply by taking on more disciples, so he naturally wished for more and more disciples in the Sect. But the problem was, there were too few who met the System’s requirements!

Thinking of this, Ye Feng felt even more frustrated.
