Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 507 - 298: Heaven Rank Divine Skills, Integrating the Dao across Heaven and Earth - Part 3
"If the Peak Master hadn’t put up such a grand prize, merely a few Earth Rank Divine Powers wouldn’t create this much of a stir. Haven’t you seen? All our senior brothers on the True Inheritor Seed list have come out of seclusion! They’re doing it to prove the strength of our Heavenly Puppet Sect and win the Peak Master’s Divine Skills."
"Actually, I think it would be the same even without the ’Sky-Earth Mastery Puppet Fusion Skill.’ After all, if Jiang Shu were to clear the challenge, wouldn’t that imply that our Heavenly Puppet Sect has no capable people left? Then, in the subsequent Divine Power Conference, I guess we wouldn’t even need to fight. We’d see the True Martial Sect and just surrender."
"Indeed, if it really were like that, not to mention the disciples from the other Eight Great Sects, even the Loose Cultivators would likely mock our Heavenly Puppet Sect."
One by one, the Inner Sect Disciples of the Heavenly Puppet Sect discussed among themselves, and various small betting pools were also opened with continuous stakes being placed.
Among the Outer Disciples, those who were well-informed also managed, through various connections, to obtain temporary Sect permission to enter the Inner Sect.
Being at the Furnace Fire Realm, they were even more eager to witness a true peak battle between the Inner Sect senior brothers, those at the Primordial Pill Realm.
They wanted to see if this genius from the True Martial Sect could defeat several of their Heavenly Puppet Sect’s senior brothers.
「In the mountains.」
「In a certain Cave Mansion.」
"Brother Yun, have you heard the news? There’s a disciple from the True Martial Sect who wants to challenge the senior brothers on our Sect’s True Inheritor Seed list! Even our Peak Master has put up Divine Skills as the wager."
"This time, you’ve refined a Heavenly Rank Puppet, haven’t you? Why not hurry and challenge someone to get on the True Inheritor Seed list, then battle that Jiang Shu? If you can win, you’ll get at least one Earth Rank Divine Power!"
"Moreover, this Earth Rank Divine Power was created by our Peak Master! Who knows, it might even directly earn you the Peak Master’s favor!"
Several Inner Sect Disciples burst into Yun Lan’s presence, their faces alight with excitement.
They had followed Yun Lan for a long time, and in their eyes, this competition was a huge opportunity for their Brother Yun Lan.
If he were lucky enough to acquire the Heavenly Rank Divine Power, the ’Sky-Earth Mastery Puppet Fusion Skill’...
He might even become a True Inheritor!
And they, in turn, could obtain various resources beyond their wildest dreams.
"Actually, I have already competed against Jiang Shu once."
Facing his junior brothers’ bright fantasies, Yun Lan couldn’t help but give a wry smile. Those disciples on the True Inheritor Seed list might still be eager to battle Jiang Shu. But he had no such inclination at all. He knew Jiang Shu’s terrifying strength better than they did.
The scene from that day replayed in his mind. Even when manipulating the Heavenly Rank Puppet, he could only see Jiang Shu’s back. And that was merely the tip of the iceberg of Jiang Shu’s true capabilities.
He had a premonition that this time, Jiang Shu might shock the entire Heavenly Puppet Sect. The ’Sky-Earth Mastery Puppet Fusion Skill’ might very well end up with Jiang Shu.
"Back then, I had just returned from training outside and encountered Jiang Shu outside the Inner Sect. A conflict arose during our conversation.
"Thereafter, without using an Identity Jade or any Treasure, Puppet, Elixir, or talisman—relying solely on his physical body, Primordial Power, and Divine Skills—he passed through the Nirvana Wind in the Dao Formation.
"Effortlessly. I... am far inferior..."
As the expressions of the several Inner Sect Disciples grew increasingly horrified, Yun Lan held nothing back, recounting the entire incident from that day, cause and effect.
Instantly, the previously somewhat noisy Cave Mansion fell utterly silent.
The only sound was their breathing, heavy and labored like bellows, RASPING.
To pass through the Nirvana Wind using only his physical body, Primordial Power, and Divine Skills... This... Is he truly still at the Primordial Pill Realm?!
