Chapter 42: Summoned by the Peak Master, Sect Tournament

Shen Ran returned to the Eighth Peak of the Empyrean Sword Sect from the Grand Myriad Mountains.

He did not know that Chen Beixuan was going crazy.

He was now at the second level of the Illumination Realm.

In the Empyrean Sword Sect, one could become a Dao Seed with such a cultivation level!

After all.

Wang Qingxuan, who had consumed the Blood Cloud Powder, was only at the third level of the Illumination Realm.

However, cultivation was cultivation, and combat power was combat power.

Shen Ran, who had these top qualifications like the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body, the Ancient Immortal Eyes, and the Invincible Supreme Bones, could kill a cultivator who had just broken through to the Illumination Realm with just a drop of spiritual fluid from within his body.

If he used one of the Ancient Seven Transformations, the Azure Dragon Transformation, he could instantly increase his combat strength a hundred fold!

Even if he was up against the fourth level of Illumination Realm, he would still have the strength to fight!

But there was a caveat.

He wanted to overthrow Wang Qingxuan completely.

The other party was not only a member of the Demon Cult, but also one of the Dao Seeds of the Empyrean Sword Sect.

If he died without rhyme or reason, the sect elders would definitely investigate the matter.

So Shen Ran planned to destroy his reputation first.

Then he would take steps to eliminate him!

But how should he make Wang Qingyuan expose his identity as a member of the Demon Sect?

Shen Ran ran into a snag thinking of this problem.

Killing this person is not difficult. The difficult part is how to do it in the name of righteousness.

Without realizing it, he had already reached his residence on the Eighth Summit.

Looking at the frowning Shen Ran, Shen Yueshuang gently walked behind him and stretched out her fair arms.

“Brother Shen, what are you thinking about?”

Shen Ran felt a pair of small hands gently massaging his head. Enjoying it, he spoke calmly.

“It’s nothing.”

Dealing with Wang Qingxuan was his personal matter.

If Shen Yueshuang knew about this, it would do her no good.

She had just come into contact with cultivation and her bloodline had yet to be activated.

Isn’t she destined to be the famous Empress Divine Phoenix in the future?

“By the way, Peak Master Luo sent someone to inform you to go to his place when you return today.”

Hearing that Luo Qifeng was looking for him, Shen Ran was a little puzzled.

Ever since he became the chief disciple of the Eighth Summit, Luo Qifeng had never summoned him.

Why am I suddenly summoned this time? he wondered.

He immediately asked Shen Yueshuang.

“What did Peak Master Luo say?”

In the eyes of outsiders, Shen Yueshuang’s current identity was just Shen Ran’s maid.

So she did not know what it was about.

Shen Ran spent a few moments contemplating this.

Then he decided to meet Elder Luo.

After changing his clothes slowly and washing up, Shen Ran pushed open the door and walked out of the cabin.

He looked up at the clear, cloudless sky. It was late spring in April. There was fragrance in the wind.

He walked along a path in the beautiful spring day, and cut across a hill until he came to an attic on the summit.

In front of the attic, he activated the Ancient Sacred Body and concealed his true cultivation under the guise of a level seven Divine Sea Realm cultivator.

When he was done, he cupped his fists.

“Shen Ran requests an audience with Peak Master.”

Immediately.

The attic door swung open with an invisible force.

As soon as he walked in, he saw Luo Qifeng looking over happily.

“Good! As expected of the chief disciple of my Eighth Summit!”

Shen Ran was a little confused by Luo Qifeng’s praise.

Before he could say anything, Luo Qifeng stroked his goatee with a grin.

“I called you here to discuss the preparation for the Sect Tournament in two weeks, ” he said.

The Sect Tournament?

It all clicked.

Every three years.

The Empyrean Sword Sect would hold a Sect Tournament.

Among them, the inner sect was the strongest!

The tournament mainly assessed the strengths of the disciples of the various peaks. Next, the sect would allocate the resources to the various peaks accordingly.

After all.

The sect had limited resources.

It would be impossible for every peak to have a massive amount of resources.

He was the Chief Disciple of the Eighth Summit.

Luo Qifeng would naturally entrust the strongest person on the Eighth Summit to compete at the tournament.

Shen Ran understood and cupped his fists at Luo Qifeng.

“So it’s about this matter. I’ll do my best in the tournament!

I will fight for first place for the Eighth Summit!”

Hearing this, the joy on Luo Qifeng’s face grew.

As expected of someone at the third level Divine Sea Realm who could kill Hong Jing at the sixth level Divine Sea Realm.

This temperament is extraordinary.

Which ordinary disciple would not be subservient to him, a Peak Master?

But Shen Ran was neither servile nor overbearing.

Apart from entrusting something to Shen Ran, Luo Qifeng also wanted to see him.

Recently, Shen Ran had become famous in the sect.

Many elders had come over to ask about him.

As the Peak Master, he did not even know as much as others. It was simply a dereliction of duty!

Shen Ran had made the Eighth Summit famous recently, and Luo Qifeng was not stingy.

He raised his hand and waved. Spiritual light appeared in his hand.

Immediately after, a small porcelain bottle appeared in his palm.

“This is the Green Jade Pill that I had refined. It can help one break through to the next level in the Divine Sea Realm. Take it.

Don’t feel pressured in this inner sect tournament.”

Looking at this Green Jade Pill, Shen Ran did not know whether to laugh or cry.

In the past, he would have been overjoyed.

After all, it could help a Divine Sea expert break through once.

However, he was already at the Illumination Realm now. The pill was useless to him.

The effects of the Green Jade Pill on him would be minimal now.

But it could be used by Shen Yueshuang.

This was proof.

He had gradually captured the attention of the higher-ups of the Empyrean Sword Sect.

No wonder the system noted that I would rise in the Empyrean Sword Sect…

It was right.

Shen Ran did not think too much about it.

It’s a joke, he thought.

He had the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body, the Invincible Supreme Bones, the Ancient Immortal Eyes, and other top-notch talents. He could be considered a peerless genius. He should be taken seriously by the experts of the Empyrean Sword Sect.

Otherwise, the Empyrean Sword Sect deserved to fall.
