HEAVENLY DAO RANK: I WAS EXPOSED AS A SWORD GOD
Chapter 40: Zhu Xiaotian Gets Mental Again
“Ye Qiu... surpass Zhu Xiaotian!”
"Yes god! He had just entered the sect not too long ago, and already, he had surpassed Zhu Xiaotian. It seems like this little temple is not that simple!”
"Maybe it was just a coincidence!"
“How can there be so many coincidences! I heard that Zhu Xiaotian from the Zhu Family has broken through to the Golden Core realm not long ago!”
“Golden Core Realm.. hence Ye Qiu was ranked second. He should at least step into the realm of Golden Body!”
“Ck tsk, this will be interesting. The top two in the Hidden Dragon Rank had been monopolized by the sect. It's very interesting!” countless cultivators discussed as they looked at the Hidden Dragon Rank.
The people from the various large families were both shocked.
They all knew the difference in cultivation between Ye Qiu and Zhu Xiaotian.
Moreover, they had also heard that Zhu Xiaotian had just broken through to the Golden Core realm not too long ago.
Meanwhile, Ye Qiu was only at the final stage of the Body Tempering Realm.
No one expected him to surpass Zhu Xiaotian after joining the Sizable Sect.
This meant that his cultivation had at least reached the Golden Body realm.
If anyone thinks it's a coincidence, they're just lying to themselves.
“It's only been five days! Ye Qiu actually broke through to the Golden Body realm right from the late stage of the Tempering Body Realm? How's it possible?"
"It's amazing, it's too hard to believe!"
"The sect really has something up their sleeves!"
“I think Ye Qiu took the wrong medicine earlier to actually enter such a small sect. Looking at it now, I'm afraid we're wrong again!
"This little temple is not simple!" In addition to feeling shocked, the members of the various clans were again curious about this Daoist temple.
“Hehe, this development is interesting. It seems like many people will be surprised. Li Yu Sect always brings surprises!” Yi Caidie's crystal eyes were paired with a faint smile.
Being able to nurture a peerless genius like Li Yu and that Ye Qiu had now surpassed Zhu Xiaotian, he knew full well that meant there was more to it than was seen in the small temple.
“No way, this! How is this possible!" Zhu Xiaotian looked at the Hidden Dragon Rank. His name had swapped places with Ye Qiu.
He's going to explode!
He even began to doubt his life.
Did he live his life in vain?
Not only did he fail to secure his position at the top like in his previous life, but he was also unable to maintain his second position!
Zhu Xiaotian was well aware of the difference in their cultivation levels.
Although he was talented, Ye Qiu's cultivation was only at the late stage of the Tempering Body Realm. No matter how hard Ye Qiu worked, he must not reach the Golden Body realm without three to five years.
Unless he gets a heaven-defying opportunity.
"Is it really because he entered the Sizable Sect ..."
Zhu Xiaotian was unwilling to believe this fact.
After all, he had previously ridiculed Ye Qiu's foolish choice.
In the end, Ye Qiu's cultivation level instantly surpassed him.
This was just a slap on his face, making his face burn in pain.
The truth was right at the Heavenly Dao Rank, so he had no choice but to believe it.
Right now, the entire Zhu Family residence was in a fuss.
The Zhu family was also unable to believe this fact.
After all, Zhu Xiaotian had stepped into the Golden Core Realm. How could Ye Qiu surpass Zhu Xiaotian so quickly?
This is really ridiculous!
He felt like he had lost his entire face, especially in front of the people from the various families who had come to visit the Zhu family. The thought of seeing a joke was practically written on their faces.
After today, he believed that he would probably become the laughingstock of many after drinking tea or after eating.
I actually got another chance to live just to be a laughingstock? I have failed completely.
"NO! I have to reclaim second place! Zhu Xiaotian gritted his teeth.
If he could not return to second place, he might be too embarrassed to face anyone outside.
However, as everyone noticed Ye Qiu's name, no one noticed that another person from the same sect had appeared in the 45th position.
He was Tang Chi.
“Male sister, you are the best! In order to celebrate your progress to the realm of Golden Body, I have decided to roast a few sheep for the party!”
By the time Li Yu said this, Wu Chang almost fell headfirst onto the ground.
“Thank you, senior brother. Although I know that Senior Brother and I are still a lot different, I will follow your example and continue to work hard! Ye Qiu said excitedly. This remarkable progress allowed him to see his shining dream come true.
He seemed to have the possibility to follow in his elder brother's footsteps.
“Oh yes, Father, can you write down all the cultivation techniques you know? In the future, it will be the ultimate technique of our Qingyun Sect!” Li Yu suggested.
He knew nothing about the cultivation techniques his father had taught him in the past. Therefore, he did not know if it was real. He even suspects that his father has fabricated stories and exploits that are electrifying the world he is proud of.
However, he had previously confirmed that his father was the Holy Son of the Divine Horizon Holy Land. And now, his father had also helped Ye Qiu breakthrough in his cultivation.
Li Yu was finally able to confirm that her father did indeed have something up his sleeve.
This way, his task of collecting cultivation techniques could be completed much faster.
"Wait until I have time!" Li Qingyun said without commitment.
At dinner, Ye Qiu brought up the Lantern Festival which was about to start in three days.
“Oh yes, Senior Brother, isn't our sect planning to recruit disciples? On the second day of the Lantern Festival in Nan'an City, the Hundred Sect Recruitment Meeting will be held at the Dao Search Field in the eastern city!
“This is a large-scale recruitment event that only happens every five years. Almost every sect in our Great Xia Dynasty will recruit new disciples, regardless of their size.
“At that time, young elites from all over the country would gather there to look for opportunities to enter the various sects!
“Every year, there will be thousands of people present. It's very crowded and alive. This is also a great opportunity for our sect to recruit disciples.” Ye Qiu said nonstop.
"Hmm, this is not a bad idea!" Li Yu's eyebrows shot up.
He naturally could not miss such an opportunity. The mission of the system required him to accept a thousand disciples.
There were only three people in his sect, and they were still far from his goal of 1000.
Since there was such an opportunity, he had to take it.
Moreover, he had promised to visit the Crown Prince. He would go there to validate his presence while he attended the recruitment.
As they spoke, someone flew over the flying magic treasure.
Everyone looked over curiously and saw a man who liked to rule and looked haughty.
"Is Li Yu here?" That person arrived in the air above the Daoist temple. He looked at Li Yu and the others, his voice filled with arrogance.
Li Yu frowned, wondering where this showdown came from.
Makes me admire you when you're being tough in front of me?
He immediately looked at Wu Chang.
With a wave of Wu Chang's hand, a terrifying invisible force slapped the haughty man from above.
Bang out! He fell face down.
"What do you want?" Li Yu asked coldly.
