Chapter 1033: Prosperous
Not only did each of the little fellows in Yun Xiuxin's group have amazing talent and unparalleled aptitude, but they were also extremely brilliant. Moreover, their bodies were extremely strong after being almost constantly washed by the enormous amount of Spirit Qi in the Residence of Nine Supremes.
Perhaps, it was because their cultivation process was far too smooth that each of their characters became rather...prickly.
Yun Xiuxin was quick-witted; Cheng Jiajia looked honest and simple, but in fact, she had many ideas; Lin Xiaorou was soft outside but hard on the inside, an iron hand in a velvet glove; Lu Changman had amazing perseverance. Among all the disciples, Lu Changman deserved the first place in terms of perseverance alone.
As for Hu Xiaofan...he was a fastidious fellow with a bad temper and many shortcomings. However, there was one thing about him that was undeniable; apart from his extraordinary state of mind and tenacity, he had great luck.
This kind of good luck had transcended the general sense of good; it was almost equivalent to that of the 'son of destiny' found only in novels. At least in Dong Qitian's view, Hu Xiaofan's luck was something he had never seen before, and no one could match it!
He had once picked and eaten a precious herb that no one had found for hundreds of thousands of years when taking a dump and even survived the strong medicinal strength...No one else could have such good luck.
As long as these little fellows did not fall on the way of cultivation or die young, they would certainly achieve their own glory in the future!
And now...this Emerald Cloud Road...
Would this be unnecessary for them? Would such undue haste destroy them, who were the best and the brightest?
Another drawback, which was not really a drawback, of having five medicines on top of one another was that it required the consumer to have a certain level of cultivation base. There was a big gap between the realms of Heaven Mystics and Immortal Mystics. However, the actual gap between the two realms was not just a little bit, but tremendous!
According to Ultimate Heaven Sect's ancient experience, the cultivation base of Yun Xiuxin and the group of disciples met the minimum requirement. However, the current situation was such that the effect of the medicinal strength was far greater than that of taking five medicines on top of one another. Under such circumstances, would there be an extremely adverse effect?
At the thought of this, Dong Qitian could not help worrying whether these little fellows could survive the attempt.
...
The top ten disciples, including Sun Mingxiu, took about four hours to break through. Yun Xiuxin's group, on the other hand, took a much shorter time. It was only a little over two hours before they came out. Seeing this, Dong Qitian's eyes grew wide once again.
Dong Qitian was not surprised that the time they took was relatively short, because the difference in cultivation base between the two groups of disciples was not small. Yun Xiuxin's group was only breaking through the realm of Heaven Mystics, so it was natural for them to spend less time. And, he was not shocked by the fact that all ten of them had made the breakthrough, none failing or dying in the process.
What really surprised him were the two oddities in this group of disciples—Yun Xiuxin and Hu Xiaofan.
In the previous cultivation, Yun Xiuxin had already broken through to the level of Immortal Mystics. However, she had barely just broken through, and not yet fully stabilized her foundation. However, in this round of advancement, she actually grew by leaps and bounds—she had caught up with the progress of the top ten disciples.
Moreover, her current cultivation level was not low, soaring all the way to the intermediate-level of Supreme Acme.
If carefully analyzed, in the process of this breakthrough, Yun Xiuxin not only crossed a major realm but two major realms!
When Dong Qitian saw this fact, his eyeballs almost fell off.
A Supreme Acme who was only twelve and a half years old!
Was the world crazy, or was it too crazy?
As for Hu Xiaofan...He had only been a high-level Heaven Mystic expert before, but not only did he cross the peak of Heaven Mystic this time, but he also directly crossed the entire Immortal Mystic realm to the late-stage of the Supreme realm, almost touching the peak level.
This kind of leap was barely a little less than Yun Xiuxin's; he had also crossed two whole realms, and still had a surplus!
For Dong Qitian, Hu Xiaofan's amazing progress was partly understandable, because he had long predicted that the latter, who possessed the innate spiritual marrow, would surely be able to ride out the ordeal of taking five medicines on top of one another and make astonishing progress!
However, no matter how amazing his progress was, there should have been a limit. How could he cross two major realms at once? This was beyond Dong Qitian's expectations!
Hu Xiaofan was able to cross two major realms because of his incredible luck, but how was Yun Xiuxin able to achieve that as well? And she was even ahead of Hu Xiaofan! It did not make sense in any case!
Apart from the two oddities, Cheng Jiajia and Lin Xiaorou had broken through to the high-level of the Supreme realm. They were still neck and neck, and both felt a little resentful about the result, wondering why they did not go beyond.
Among the group, Lu Changman's performance was still average, as he had broken through to the perfected beginner-level of the Supreme realm. As for the other few little fellows, although their cultivation base was slightly lower than his, they were also firmly standing in the realm of Supremes.
The result made Dong Qitian shiver a little.
He had been watching every movement in the hall. The first ten went in, and then all came out unscathed; the second ten went in, and they, too, came out unscathed. Meanwhile, their progress was even more amazing than that of the first batch.
Then, the third batch went in and came out soon afterward, all unscathed...
The same thing repeated over and over again, and after thirty-two hours...
Dong Qitian was completely dumbstruck. He stood frozen in place, speechless, and unable to utter a single word for a long time.
The seventy-five first-generation disciples of Residence of Nine Supremes had all made a smooth breakthrough in this episode. In the end, the worst fifteen disciples all stepped into the realm of Immortal Mystics, and even they were all at the high-level. Of the other sixty disciples, eleven had become Supreme Acme, and the rest...
The rest of the forty-nine disciples all attained the cultivation base of Supremes!
If they all stood together, they looked like a group of fair and delicate little girls and boys, and yet they were all high-level warriors...
The world was indeed crazy!
There were Supremes under the age of fifteen everywhere!
Dong Qitian swore that he had never seen such a prosperous scene in any sect.
Yes, prosperous!
Apart from this word, there was no other word that could more appropriately describe this situation.
Although it was a little too much to use this word for a sect that had just been established for a bit more than half a year and did not even have the Celestial Luck Banner, Dong Qitian really could not think of other words to describe the situation while looking at a large group of little boys and girls slowly getting used to the strength they had just gained with extremely solemn and grateful expressions.
