Chapter 903: Chapter 440: The Seven Veins’ Heavenly Prides Gather, Setting off to the Heavenly End Secret Realm_2
The allure of the Heavenly End Secret Realm is so extraordinary that it has drawn so many of the Heavenly Pride from the Green Flame Palace to action. It’s clear that, by the time it begins, the gathering of top talents will be anything but small.
His gaze fixed on the treasure ship hovering above the plaza, he moved, soaring up like a roc taking flight.
“What, someone at the third level of the Unity Realm also wants to join in the fun?”
Seeing Lu Yun board the treasure ship caused a stir in the plaza.
“This Junior Brother is a fierce one, eh? But the mere fact that he dares to put his innermost thoughts into action deserves my, Old Niu’s, respect.”
“The other Senior Brothers entering the Heavenly End Secret Realm are all at least at the ninth or tenth levels of the Unity Realm, and they all possess the combat power of the True Spirit Realm. He’s merely at the third level of the Unity Realm and yet wishes to go? That’s no different from seeking death. Such an overestimation of one’s abilities isn’t commendable.”
...
“Indeed, his courage is commendable, but it’s truly an act of folly. To lose one’s life over an opportunity that one cannot possibly obtain…”
“The Heavenly End Secret Realm opens only once every five hundred years. Such an opportunity is indeed precious, but one must also act according to one’s capabilities…”
…
These opinions were mixed, some favorable, some not.
Lu Yun seemed not to hear these discussions; he went straight onto the treasure ship.
At the same time, he sensed that many consciousnesses were sweeping over him, attempting to probe into his reality.
His eyebrow slightly raised, Lu Yun was somewhat displeased with this kind of action but did not show anything unusual.
To a certain extent, everyone on the treasure ship was a predecessor or Senior Brother to him. Such scrutiny could not really be considered rude.
“This Junior Brother is quite extraordinary.”
“This person is not simple.” Almost simultaneously, those disciples who had been probing Lu Yun all had a strange look flash across their eyes.
For they were unable to ascertain any concrete details about Lu Yun.
Especially when some of them tried to extend more consciousness to probe further, they were blocked by a mysterious force, unable to proceed any further.
“It’s unclear which lineage this Junior Brother is from, but he seems to carry many secrets.”
“Judging by his attire, it seems that he is a Disciple of the Tai Yuan lineage.”
Indeed, Lu Yun walked in the direction of the Tai Yuan lineage’s disciples, confirming the crowd’s speculation.
“Junior Brother Lu, are you also going to the Heavenly End Secret Realm?” Upon seeing Lu Yun, Ye Chen was first delighted, then expressed some concern.
Lu Yun nodded and smiled, “I heard that the Heavenly End Secret Realm is full of opportunities, and the core area holds wondrous fortunes that can allow one to soar to the heavens. Naturally, I couldn’t miss it, otherwise I would regret it for a lifetime.”
Clearly, Ye Chen’s impression of Lu Yun still lingered from a year ago. He sighed, “Well, it’s true, but the risks within are innumerable…”
“Ye Chen, don’t underestimate Junior Brother Lu. Though his realm may be low, his strength is certainly not the weakest among us,” Mu Sinan interrupted Ye Chen and then winked at Lu Yun.
Lu Yun said, “Senior Sister Mu, we meet again.”
“You know each other?” Ye Chen looked at them both, saying with slight surprise.
“Of course, half a year ago, I collaborated with Junior Brother Lu. At that time, he already had the strength of the tenth level of the Unity Realm. With so much time having passed since then, I’m afraid he can only have grown stronger.” As she spoke, Mu Sinan glanced meaningfully at Lu Yun.
“Hm? Junior Brother Lu, is this true?” Ye Chen raised his brows slightly, his eyes flashing with joy and excitement said.
Lu Yun shook his head with a wry smile, “Against the True Spirit Realm, I have the strength to fight reluctantly, but it’s definitely not as exaggerated as Senior Sister Mu describes.”
He intended to keep playing the role of a dark horse, acting low-key and growing steadily. However, with just a few words from Mu Sinan, he found himself under the spotlight, something he hadn’t anticipated.
Fortunately, both his realm and identity were greatly deceptive, and nobody took Mu Sinan’s words seriously.
“Junior Brother Lu Yun, I’ve seen you before,” Zhou Yichen looked over, his gaze lingering on Lu Yun for a moment as he greeted with a smile.
“Senior Brother Zhou,” Lu Yun returned the greeting with a bow and a smile, “I hope for your care in the Heavenly End Secret Realm.”
Lu Yun was naturally familiar with Zhou Yichen; not to mention having seen him from afar once before, he also once mercilessly defeated his shadow left behind in the Forbidden Tower.
Of course, this was something he had to keep to himself for now; letting the other party know might provoke an impromptu ‘elder respects younger, younger admires elder’ sparring match right there and then.
After all, every Heavenly Pride had a different temperament, and not everyone was as amicable as Ye Chen, who, even after taking the extreme path of swordsmanship, still maintained a composed nature and a character for kindness.
However, what you fear often comes to pass.
It was at this moment that Dongfang Qing spoke up, “Senior Brother Zhou, there seems to be quite a fate between you and Lu Yun.”
“How so?” Zhou Yichen asked curiously.
Dongfang Qing’s clear eyes twinkled like stars, and a faint smile crossed his face as he said, “I had the privilege of witnessing Junior Brother Lu ascend to the sixteenth level of the Forbidden Tower, defeating everyone across the board including over ten powerful opponents like Senior Brother Zhou, blasting them away one by one.”
“Oh? It seems I had a battle with Junior Brother Lu,” Zhou Yichen’s profound eyes turned to Lu Yun with a smile, “Junior Brother Lu, in that case, I seem to be one of your defeated foes.”
He had indeed heard about Lu Yun clearing the sixteenth level of the Forbidden Tower before, and was not surprised that his own shadow in the Forbidden Tower had been defeated by Lu Yun.
Lu Yun smiled shyly, offering no explanation.
Given his reaction, a ‘elder respects younger, younger admires elder’ situation seemed unlikely.
After all, no matter how you looked at it, Zhou Yichen was one of the top Heavenly Prides among the core disciples of Tai Yuan. As soon as he returned from the Heavenly End Secret Realm and broke through to the Entering Saint Realm, he would become a True Inheritance Disciple.
Such a figure would naturally not take a Unity Realm disciple to heart.
Even though Lu Yun was no ordinary Unity Realm disciple, catching up would still take a considerable amount of time.
The Heavenly Prides from the other six branches, seeing many disciples from Tai Yuan recognizing Lu Yun, especially Zhou Yichen who chatted and laughed with him, could not help but show different expressions.
“Interesting, a Junior Brother like this has emerged from the Tai Yuan Sect,” Ye Zhiying withdrew his gaze slowly, commenting meaningfully.
As one of the strongest core disciples of the Tongtian Sect, making such an assessment about a mere Unity Realm disciple from the Tai Yuan Sect naturally stirred quite a sensation among the team.
Although most of them had vaguely sensed that Lu Yun was no ordinary individual, it was only relative to themselves.
Most of these people were at the early stage of the True Spirit Realm, weaker in strength and limited in discerning the bigger picture.
Ye Zhiying, however, was different; not only was he much stronger, but the Divine Abilities and methods at his disposal were inscrutable, far beyond comparison to others.
In the plaza, among the Elders and disciples who were seeing them off, a young man carrying a blood-red Long Blade fixed his gaze tightly on Lu Yun, who was chatting and laughing with Ye Chen and others aboard the treasure ship.
In the end, he shook his head slightly, retracting his gaze as a glint of sharpness passed through his eyes. He stood silently with his hands behind his back for a long time.
“Zhang Henshui, it’s a pity you’ve only cultivated for such a short time, otherwise you wouldn’t be much inferior to that Lu Yun,” a burly youth with thick eyebrows and large eyes, noticing something off with his Junior Brother, spoke up to comfort him.
Zhang Henshui said, “Lu Yun entered the Green Flame Palace with me.”
The burly youth: “…”
…
The news of Lu Yun going to the Heavenly End Secret Realm reached the disciples of Tai Yuan, causing quite a stir.
They felt that with the short time Lu Yun had been cultivating, he had no advantage compared to others and that entering the Heavenly End Secret Realm was exceedingly risky.
Some Elders even personally reported to the Sect’s Senior Officials, arguing that with elites gathering in the Heavenly End Secret Realm and some reckless lone cultivators around, they absolutely should not let a Heavenly Pride like Lu Yun take such a risk.
However, their concerns naturally did not provoke any response.
Finally, the time arrived, the Array was activated with a roar, and a cascade of rosy light surged.
Subsequently, the Void channel opened, and the treasure ship slowly entered, as all the Heavenly Prides disappeared from the Inner World of the Green Flame Palace.
