Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards

Chapter 442 - 252: We Pay Our Respects to the Second Supreme Elder, Supreme Elder Qi Chuan!

After all, more than a year ago, he had already known the news of Qi Chuan entering Qingyun True Monarch’s seclusion place to break through to the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm. Over this year, he had often rehearsed this in his mind, imagined it; now it had simply become reality.

Of course, outwardly he appeared more composed than the other Core Formation True Masters, but whether his heart was truly at peace or as tumultuous as the others’, only he would know.

Boom!

Though he had speculated in his heart.

Yet, hearing Zhao Ming’s confirmation at this moment was akin to thunder crashing down in Yu Yi’s mind, rumbling loudly.

Yu Yi stood almost frozen on the spot.

The Realm of True Monarch...

This was the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm!

Throughout this past year, although Qi Chuan had not appeared, within the Immortal Sect, including herself, all the True Masters were quite curious, even feeling somewhat strange, but merely thought Qi Chuan was handling his own matters and did not think too much.

Who could have imagined that the next news of Qi Chuan would be his breakthrough into the Nascent Soul True Monarch?

Recalling now, it all made sense to her.

Why Qi Chuan had not appeared over the last year.

Why during this year, the Spirit Veins under the Myriad Flowers Mountain Range and all the Cave Mansions exhibited some unusual changes.

Why the Supreme Elder remained stationed in Myriad Flowers Hall throughout.

Why, when they questioned Zhao Ming about these matters, Zhao Ming always gave vague answers and never responded directly.

Turns out it was all because Qi Chuan was breaking through to the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm... breaking through to the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm!

Moreover, all of this was too extraordinary, the signs too evident; she should have thought of it, should have speculated, but in the end didn’t pay much attention to these unusual signs, didn’t give it much thought, which seemed somewhat negligent.

But then again, who would think so...

If Qi Chuan were someone who had long been at the peak of Core Formation Late Stage, then suddenly disappearing for so long and these unusual signs appeared in the Ten Thousand Flowers Immortal Sect, almost all the Core Formation True Masters, including her, would unquestionably consider this possibility.

But in reality?

She, and the rest of the Core Formation True Masters in the Ten Thousand Flowers Immortal Sect except for Zhao Ming, did not know that Qi Chuan had already reached the peak of Core Formation Late Stage.

The impression of Qi Chuan in the True Masters’ minds remained on when he would reach the peak of Core Formation Late Stage, to start preparing for the Nascent Soul breakthrough.

Given Qi Chuan’s terrifying talent and astonishing cultivation speed, the True Masters didn’t think it’d take long for Qi Chuan to reach the peak of Core Formation Late Stage.

But they definitely wouldn’t think of him breaking through to the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm, nor would they dare to conceive such a thought.

This led to today, when the True Masters learned of Qi Chuan breaking through to the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm, even successfully, their hearts were overwhelmingly shocked.

"Alright, it should be about time now, let us go meet Qi Chuan as he emerges."

At this moment, Qingyun True Monarch, seated at the head of the hall, raised his head looking towards the direction of his seclusion place, seemingly penetrating space and seeing the dissipating five-hundred-zhang Spirit Cloud, he smiled and spoke to the crowd.

Having spoken, Qingyun True Monarch stood up and descended from the Jade Tier, heading towards the direction outside the hall.

"Yes!"

Behind him, Zhao Ming and others of course obeyed, and subsequently also got up, arranging themselves in order to follow behind Qingyun True Monarch, heading outside the hall.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Once outside Myriad Flowers Hall, they transformed into Escape Light, swiftly heading towards Qingyun True Monarch’s place of seclusion, from afar looking akin to a group of shooting stars.

Since they were within the Ten Thousand Flowers Immortal Sect, the distance between Myriad Flowers Hall and Qingyun True Monarch’s place of seclusion wasn’t very far, and the group soon arrived.

At this time, the five-hundred-zhang Spirit Cloud above the seclusion place had almost completely dissipated.

The group appeared one by one outside Qingyun True Monarch’s Cave Mansion, with Qingyun True Monarch standing at the forefront, Sect Leader Zhao Ming behind him, while the remaining Core Formation True Masters stood in rank and file according to their skills and status.

Qingyun True Monarch did not speak, nor did Zhao Ming and the other Core Formation True Masters; nobody dared to break the silence.

Their gazes were all fixed on the tightly closed Cave Mansion gate, everyone knowing that their former junior fellow Qi Chuan was inside, but once the gate opened and Qi Chuan emerged, he would transform and become the second Supreme Elder of the Ten Thousand Flowers Immortal Sect.

Time passed slowly in such silent anticipation.

Boom—

Finally, accompanied by the sound of the gate drawing open, the Cave Mansion door gradually rose.

The passageway within the gate was empty.

Clack. Clack.

Soon, clear footsteps echoed.

With the sound of footsteps, a silhouette’s outline emerged from the passageway, slowly stepping out one step at a time. As it reached the Cave Mansion gate, a shaft of bright sunlight breached the clouds above and spilled onto the youth’s figure, illuminating his handsome, otherworldly face.

Incredibly young, without cultivating any Youthful Appearance Techniques or consuming any Youthful Appearance Elixirs, merely through terrifying breakthrough speed he achieved a youthful face and body.

As the handsome youth appeared, his eyes swept over those present, emitting an indescribable aura.

How to put this aura?

Just slightly sensing it caused all the Core Formation True Masters to lose any thought of resistance, with an innate respect, instinctively wanting to lower their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

The inner minds of the True Masters were filled with shock and complexity.

They were acutely aware, it was the same aura as the Supreme Elder, Qingyun True Monarch.

This meant, without a doubt, Qi Chuan had indeed ascended to the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm, becoming the second Supreme Elder of the Ten Thousand Flowers Immortal Sect!

"Sect Leader Zhao Ming greets Sect’s second Supreme Elder, Elder Qi Chuan!"

At this moment, Zhao Ming suddenly spoke, giving a grand salute to Qi Chuan who had just emerged from the Cave Mansion.

"Qu Xuanlei greets Sect’s second Supreme Elder, Elder Qi Chuan!"

"Feng Tan greets Sect’s second Supreme Elder, Elder Qi Chuan!"

"Hu Tianying greets Sect’s second Supreme Elder, Elder Qi Chuan!"

...

"Yu Yi greets Sect’s second Supreme Elder, Elder Qi Chuan!"

Following the Sect Leader’s voice, all the other Core Formation True Masters also followed suit, after performing their grand salutes, they collectively shouted out.

Their voices were exceptionally loud, the sound resonating across the seclusion place, echoing above the Ten Thousand Flowers Immortal Sect.

As the shouts echoed across the Sect, a silence fell over the large Ten Thousand Flowers Immortal Sect, which had been filled with discussions, suddenly becoming as silent as a deep valley.

"This..."

"What did I just hear?"

"It was the Sect Leader’s voice, and also the voices of many Core Formation Elders, they were saying... Elder Qi Chuan... did I hear wrong?"

"So the one who broke through to Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm wasn’t the Sect Leader, but Elder Qi Chuan?"

"It’s truly terrifying..."

"It’s confirmed, it’s confirmed, our Ten Thousand Flowers Immortal Sect indeed has a newborn Nascent Soul True Monarch, about to become a sect with dual Nascent Souls, the number one sect in Beihua State!"

"We disciples of the Ten Thousand Flowers Immortal Sect, congratulate Elder Qi Chuan on attaining the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm!"

"We disciples of the Ten Thousand Flowers Immortal Sect, offer our congratulations to Elder Qi Chuan on attaining the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm!"

Suddenly, from top to bottom, the Ten Thousand Flowers Immortal Sect resounded with a series of loud congratulatory shouts, issued sincerely between disciples.

Simply because Qi Chuan became a Nascent Soul True Monarch, they were certainly going to benefit greatly too!
