Chapter 20: The Third Profound Origin Realm!
Chapter 20: The Third Profound Origin Realm!
"Expanding the scale of the sect can't be rushed."
On this day, after strolling around the sect grounds, Lin Fan stood at the edge of a cliff on the outskirts, facing the northwest wind, and muttered to himself, "As my strength increases or my reputation spreads, the number of disciples will naturally grow."
"And the most important thing is strength."
"If my senses are correct, after tonight, I should be able to break through within the next two days."
Previously, after consuming three Seventh Rank Essence Condensation Pills, Lin Fan's cultivation had reached the peak of the Essence Condensation Realm. With his recent cultivation and consolidation, the Profound Origin Realm was already within reach.
"The Third Profound Origin Realm."
"Among the younger generation, at least within the younger generation of Third-Rank Sects, this is considered a significant achievement, even among the top talents."
In general, the strongest cultivators in Third-Rank Sects are usually at the Fourth Heavenly Cave Realm.
If there's a Fifth Finger Profound Realm cultivator, then the sect can start working towards advancing to a Second-Rank Sect.
Of course, having a Finger Profound Realm cultivator is just one of the minimum requirements for becoming a Second-Rank Sect.
Additionally, there must be a sufficient scale.
This includes, but is not limited to, spiritual mountains, resources, the quality and quantity of disciples, and more.
In summary, advancing to a Second-Rank Sect is extremely challenging.
But if there's a Finger Profound Realm cultivator, it means there's at least a glimmer of hope.
If one wants to take another step forward and become a First-Rank Sect...
That would require at least a Seventh Dao Convergence Realm cultivator to accomplish.
As for Sacred Lands...
They are founded by former Ninth Ascendant Realm cultivators. Even without an Ascendant Realm cultivator, there are still Voidbreak Realm old monsters guarding them, and they are blessed with Immortal Artifacts.
But all of this was still too distant for Lin Fan.
That night, Lin Fan successfully broke through.
The Third Profound Origin Realm, achieved!
True energy gathered within the Profound Gate, and he felt the true energy within the First Profound Gate rapidly filling up, causing his strength to surge. Lin Fan couldn't help but smile.
"In less than two months of crossing over, I've broken through a major realm. This speed is not bad!"
At least he was quite satisfied.
If he continued to develop, perhaps the first crisis ten months later wouldn't be a big problem.
"If we share our combat power..."
"Oh? The second layer of the Profound Origin Realm?"
"Not bad."
"Xiao Ling'er has also reached the seventh layer of the Essence Condensation Realm."
"If we get another disciple with the protagonist template, wouldn't that be awesome?"
"But..."
"It's probably not that easy to find, right?"
The protagonist template, what is that?
If it were that easy to find, it wouldn't be called the protagonist template. Where would all these Heaven's Will protagonists come from?
Although the Immortal Martial Continent is vast and nearly boundless, with a population of trillions, Lin Fan estimated that the total number of protagonist templates might not exceed ten. Of course, this was just a guess.
Perhaps there would be a pleasant surprise?
He eagerly awaited it.
...
Half a month passed in a daze.
On this day, Duan Qingyao returned from procuring resources and found Lin Fan, "Sect Master."
"Does the Fifth Elder have something to say?"
"Just a piece of news."
Duan Qingyao spoke thoughtfully, "The nearest large Immortal City to us, Hongwu Immortal City, will be hosting a Youth Alchemist Conference in half a month. Anyone under a hundred years old can participate, and the prizes are extremely generous."
"If one wins the championship, they can obtain a Sixth Rank Furnace, three Sixth Rank formulas, and..."
"A Finger Profound Pill."
"Oh?"
Lin Fan was slightly surprised, "The Fifth Rank Medicine, the Finger Profound Pill, can help cultivators break through the Fifth Finger Profound Realm?"
"Yes, and it's personally refined by a Seventh Rank Alchemist. It's said to be at least Fifth Rank or above."
Fifth Rank, is that impressive?
Our Ling'er is just younger and has a lower cultivation level. Otherwise, she could at least refine a Seventh Rank Medicine.
However, the Finger Profound Pill is a great thing.
"The First Elder and Second Elder, are they close to reaching the peak of the Heavenly Cave Realm?"
"The Second Elder has reached the peak, but due to an injury sustained in his youth, a lingering problem remains. Without a fortuitous encounter, I fear that..."
"But Sect Master, let's not dwell on it too much."
Duan Qingyao sighed and smiled helplessly, "I'm just saying, after all, it's Hongwu Immortal City. At that time, there will be over 100,000 participants, all of whom are outstanding among the young alchemists. Among them, there will even be disciples from first-class sects."
"That child Xiao Ling'er is indeed exceptional, but compared to the disciples of first-class sects, or rather, our Moonseizing Sect's foundation is still somewhat lacking."
As she spoke, Duan Qingyao's expression became somewhat desolate.
When it came to talent, she was certain that Xiao Ling'er was no less talented than ordinary disciples of first-class sects, and even surpassed most of them.
But Moonseizing Sect...
Sigh, although they had already given it their all, the support they could provide was still very limited.
They had the will but lacked the strength.
In her opinion, this wasn't Xiao Ling'er's fault, but rather the sect's lack of support.
It was their fault, these old folks, for being so useless!
"Why is the Fifth Elder so concerned?"
"Geniuses are always good at creating miracles; otherwise, why would they be called geniuses?"
"Whether it succeeds or not, we must give it a try to know. Moreover, even if she doesn't come in first, there should be a consolation prize for a regular ranking, right?"
"As for whether Xiao Ling'er is willing to go or not, it's up to her."
"Master!"
Before the words had finished, Xiao Ling'er bounced out from outside, her face full of excitement, "Disciple is willing to go!"
Lin Fan: "..., How long have you been eavesdropping?"
He really hadn't noticed.
This young lady had obviously used some kind of concealment technique.
Elder Wu, on the other hand, was not surprised and smiled, "Let's go together."
"Master, please don't blame me. I didn't mean any harm." Xiao Ling'er quickly apologized.
"Since you've heard everything and are willing to go, there's no reason for me to stop you."
Lin Fan nodded, "In that case, let the Fifth Elder accompany you. He will temporarily act as your protector."
"Also, Elder Wu."
"Give her a copy of our sect rules."
"When you're out, you must be cautious. Don't forget the sect rules."
"Yes, Sect Master."
Duan Qingyao's smile grew brighter.
Whether or not she would be ranked was no longer important.
Instead, she was more eager to see Xiao Ling'er's expression after reading the sect rules.
"Sect rules?"
Xiao Ling'er asked in confusion, "Master, Fifth Elder, aren't the sect rules engraved on a stone tablet? I've already memorized them thoroughly."
"Those sect rules are for outsiders."
Lin Fan smiled, "Ordinary disciples do need to follow them, but you're different. The rules I'm giving you through Elder Wu are our true sect rules. Remember, they must not be leaked."
"Yes!"
Xiao Ling'er's face turned serious, "I swear upon my Dao heart that I will never leak a single word. Otherwise, I will be trapped by my heart demon and never awaken."
"There's no need for such a vow. By letting Elder Wu give them to you, I'm showing my trust in you."
Lin Fan waved his hand.
Before this, he had already been certain that Xiao Ling'er's character was excellent, and her values were upright, worthy of his trust.
After all, it couldn't possibly be that person's temperament...
...
"This, these sect rules?"
After reading the sect rules, Xiao Ling'er was stunned.
"Master?"
However, her master was also stunned.
"I, this old lady, have lived for thousands of years, and after turning into a remnant soul, I've lived for thousands more. I've never seen such strange sect rules."
"But..."
"I can be sure that your master is not simple, and these sect rules are also extraordinary."
"How can you tell?" Xiao Ling'er asked in bewilderment.
"Look at this rule!"
"Priority will be given to those who mumble to themselves while wearing rings, bracelets, necklaces, and the like... Hmm?"
Xiao Ling'er's expression changed dramatically.
She hadn't noticed it before, but now, as she realized, it was hard to remain calm.
