732: Breakthrough to the Mysterious Immortal Realm

"Am I that scary?" Xia Qingyue's lips curled into a charming smile as her jade hands gently brushed the hair on her forehead.

"How could that be?" Yang Lingchen said, still feeling a lingering fear.

"Giggle...! As long as you listen to me obediently, I won't do anything to you." Xia Qingyue giggled, her ample bosom trembling slightly, looking extremely alluring.

Yang Lingchen secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and quickly averted his gaze, bowing respectfully: "Thank you, Elder Xia, for saving my life."

"Come sit at my place for a while!" After saying this, Xia Qingyue's figure flickered and vanished from the spot.

Seeing this, Yang Lingchen quickly followed.

At that moment, the news of Xia Qingyue killing Li Tianyang instantly spread throughout the entire Lanxian Sect.

What was surprising was that the Lanxian Sect did not impose any punishment on Xia Qingyue and even intentionally suppressed public opinion regarding the matter.

"Have you heard? Li Tianyang ran to Jade Maiden Peak to cause trouble and was crushed to death by Xia Qingyue with one claw."

"Really? Why would Li Tianyang run to Jade Maiden Peak to cause trouble?"

"Of course it's true. It's said that Yang Lingchen crippled several of his Disciples, and he couldn't take the anger, so he went to Jade Maiden Peak to attack. Who would have thought he'd be choked to death by Xia Qingyue."

"Damn, who is this Yang Lingchen? Even a powerhouse like Xia Qingyue would step forward for him."

"Do you think it's possible that Yang Lingchen is Elder Xia's illegitimate son?"

"That's impossible! I was at the scene. The look in Elder Xia's eyes when she looked at Yang Lingchen was full of spring passion, as if she wanted to eat him up. So, I think Yang Lingchen is likely a pretty boy she keeps."

"Damn, this kid Yang Lingchen is really lucky with women!"

For a time, rumors flew throughout the Lanxian Sect, becoming more and more outrageous. Some said Yang Lingchen was Xia Qingyue's son, while others said he was a man kept by Xia Qingyue.

Arriving at Xia Qingyue's residence again, Yang Lingchen still felt extremely nervous.

"Why are you so nervous? I don't eat people." Xia Qingyue giggled, "Sit down!"

"Elder Xia, if there is anything you need this Disciple to do, just give the order," Yang Lingchen said.

"The Tianxin Grand Competition is in a year and a half. What are your plans?" Xia Qingyue asked, her beautiful eyes flashing.

"This Disciple intends to participate," Yang Lingchen said.

"With your talent, joining Tianxin Academy shouldn't be a big problem. However, I hope you can get a good ranking in the Tianxin Grand Competition. That way, after entering Tianxin Academy, you will be able to obtain more resources," Xia Qingyue said.

"Thank you for your guidance, Elder Xia. This Disciple will definitely do my best," Yang Lingchen said respectfully.

"This is a map of the power distribution in the Myriad Heavens Immortal Realm. It will be of great help when you go out for training in the future. Take it!" Xia Qingyue took out an ancient map and handed it to Yang Lingchen.

"Thank you, Elder Xia." Yang Lingchen cupped his hands and thanked her. This map was very important to him, as it would at least allow him to quickly understand the Myriad Heavens Immortal Realm.

"Do you still remember the thing you promised me?" Xia Qingyue asked.

"Of course I remember. If one day I truly have the strength, I will definitely take revenge for Elder Xia," Yang Lingchen said seriously.

"It's good that you remember. However, you don't need to worry. If you truly don't have that strength, I naturally won't let you go to your death," Xia Qingyue said in a gentle voice.

"Elder Xia, who exactly is your enemy?" Yang Lingchen asked curiously.

"You are not qualified to know yet. Go back and Cultivate!" Xia Qingyue waved her hand.

"Then this Disciple will take his leave."

Afterward, Yang Lingchen left Xia Qingyue's residence.

"Little Fellow, the crisis you will face next can only be dealt with by yourself."

Watching Yang Lingchen's retreating figure, Xia Qingyue murmured softly. Then, her figure, like a withering flower petal, gradually turned into nothingness and completely disappeared from the courtyard.

After returning to his residence, Yang Lingchen entered a state of Cultivation once again. For the next period of time, he would devote all his time to Cultivation, striving to make a Breakthrough to the Profound Immortal Realm before the Tianxin Grand Competition, because this determined whether he could participate in the Tianxin Grand Competition.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than a year had passed.

Without any suspense, in this year or so, Yang Lingchen successfully reached the Peak of the ninth layer of the True Immortal Realm.

At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged in the haotian jade space. He intended to seize this opportunity to make a Breakthrough to the Profound Immortal Realm in one go. By then, he would be able to become an Inner Sect Disciple of the Lanxian Sect and would have the qualifications to participate in the Tianxin Grand Competition.

A Breakthrough to the Profound Immortal Realm was still a major threshold, so the difficulty of the Breakthrough was much harder compared to breaking through minor Realms.

In fact, as early as a few months ago, Yang Lingchen's cultivation level had already reached the Peak of the ninth layer of the True Immortal Realm, but he had not found the opportunity for a Breakthrough. It was not until today that he touched upon a trace of mystical inspiration, and it was this trace of mystical inspiration that allowed him to find the opportunity for a Breakthrough.

As Yang Lingchen continuously made impacts, a crack soon appeared in the barrier of the Profound Immortal Realm. Yang Lingchen channeled the Immortal Essence Power within his body and increased the intensity of the impact.

Soon, Yang Lingchen sensed a trace of the Profound Immortal Realm's law power.

"Boom, boom, boom...!"

At this moment, Yang Lingchen's Divine Sense became even sharper, and the meridians in his body instantly became wider.

After the Breakthrough, Yang Lingchen opened his eyes, and a sharp edge shot out from the depths of his pupils.

The Breakthrough in his cultivation level caused his strength and speed to increase significantly.

"Yang Lingchen."

Just then, Huang Ruoyu's voice came from outside Yang Lingchen's courtyard.

"Senior Sister Huang, why are you here?" Yang Lingchen gently opened the courtyard door.

"You finally made a Breakthrough."

Seeing that Yang Lingchen's cultivation level had broken through to the Profound Immortal Realm, Huang Ruoyu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The Tianxin Grand Competition is coming up soon. Revered Master asked me to come and see if you have made a Breakthrough."

"Let's go, Revered Master wants to see you," Huang Ruoyu added.

Afterward, Yang Lingchen followed Huang Ruoyu to Chu Yuechan's residence.

"This Disciple greets the Peak Master," Yang Lingchen cupped his hands and bowed.

"Good kid, you really did break through to the Profound Immortal Realm." A glimmer of brilliance flashed in Chu Yuechan's eyes, and then she nodded with satisfaction.

"It is all thanks to the Peak Master's proper guidance that this Disciple could break through so quickly," Yang Lingchen chuckled.

"Stinky brat, stop flattering me," Chu Yuechan said crossly, "Prepare well. In a few days, I will take you all to Tianxin Academy."

"Peak Master, are you going too?" A look of surprise appeared in Yang Lingchen's eyes.

"You didn't know? As early as two million years ago, Revered Master was already a Core Disciple of Tianxin Academy. One million years ago, Revered Master became a tutor at Tianxin Academy. Later, for some reasons, Revered Master returned to our Jade Maiden Peak," Huang Ruoyu said.

"In other words, we can still see the Peak Master at Tianxin Academy in the future?" Yang Lingchen said in surprise.

"Of course, who knows, I might even become your tutor!" Chu Yuechan smiled slightly.

"That's great, this way if I cause trouble, I'll have someone to cover for me," Yang Lingchen chuckled.

"Stinky brat! If you go to Tianxin Academy, you'd better cause less trouble, otherwise even I won't be able to cover for you." Chu Yuechan smiled and said. She still valued Yang Lingchen's talent very much.

"This... Peak Master, don't worry. This Disciple's personality is always low-key, and I will never cause you trouble," Yang Lingchen quickly said.

Afterward, Yang Lingchen left the Peak Master's main hall and walked towards Xia Qingyue's residence.

"Elder Xia."

"Elder Xia."

After arriving at Xia Qingyue's residence, Yang Lingchen called out a few times, but did not receive any response.

He soon discovered something unusual, because there was already a trace of dust on the stone table in the courtyard. For Xia Qingyue, who was always very clean, this was a very unusual thing.

Afterward, Yang Lingchen left Xia Qingyue's residence.
