Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch. 755 - Waiting
Mou Li also mocked, “That Zhang En should know the limits of his abilities. He knew he could not pass through the Sacred Temple, so did not dare to enter it now, but did he really think he would be able to pass the Holy Temple examination after cultivating within the pond? What a foolish thought!”
Chu Yan willingly unwillingly interjected, "He can challenge the Demon Tower, why can't he pass the test of our Ghuang Sacred Temple?"
Mou Li sneered, “Devil Tower can only prove that she has a higher talent level than the others, though, but passing our Ghuang Holy Temple exam is related to one's pill refining skills and power.”
You Shang's scornful look was fixed on Mou Li, “Mou Li, if I were you, I would immediately ascend to the Divine Land. I will definitely not stay in this realm, waiting for Zhang En to pass the Sacred Temple examination before thinking of escaping to live. At that time, you won't be able to run even if you want to!”
Mou Li's face darkened hearing this.
To be honest, he did have this thought, but he was very unwilling to just leave.
He was a ten-star Golden God who was in fact the highest realm in the Intermediate Realm. He was also the highly respected Grand Elder of the Sky Tower Sect, not to mention being the Great Elder of the Guang Alchemist Union.
Each of his identities gave him a different status and respect out there. Once he ascended to the Divine Land, his identity was much lower than the average cultivator in the Divine Land.
More importantly, he could not be certain which location in the Divine Land he would appear after ascending.
Seeing Mou Li speechless, You Shang no longer mocked him, turning his attention towards the pond ahead. Just like Chu Yan, Xinshui, Yuan Liang, and the others, he waited for a movement from within.
As these Elders waited outside, a month had passed.
Seeing that a month's time had passed yet Zhang En was still cultivating inside, Yuan Liang's face smiled widely, “Don't I already say it? With Zhang En's talent and strength, he could stay a month inside the pond to cultivate.”
Xinshui then chuckled, “Now, let's see if he can stay inside for two months. This Zhang En really gave me anticipation! Perhaps after he exits the Sacred Pool, he will be able to pass the Holy Temple examination, becoming the Chairman of our Alchemist Union."
Yuan Liang laughed, "If that really happens, we should address him as Young Chairman Zhang!"
Listening to Xinshui and Yuan Liang's carefree conversation, Mou Li's face darkened and pouted.
Maung Quan also did not look okay, the friendship he and Mou Li had always been very close. He also knew that his disciple Maung Li had previously had some conflicts with this Zhang En, therefore, he did not want to until that happened.
....
Another month passed.
Zhang En had been cultivating within the pond for two months, but the people outside still could not see any movement at all from within.
Indeed, the longer Zhang En managed to cultivate in the Sacred Pool, the more profit he gained. When the time came for him to take the Holy Temple examination, the chances of him passing would increase significantly.
...
Inside a luxurious building inside the Moon City, inside Ghuang World.
The Heavenly Tower Sect Chief, Zheng Yan, also put on a grim face.
He and a group of his sect Elders had arrived at Moon City one month earlier only to find out that Zhang En had already entered the Ghuang Sacred Pool for one month, so he decided to wait until Zhang En came out.
After all, the Ghuang Sacred Pool was within the territory of the Ghuang Alchemist Union. As powerful as their Sects were, they had to think three times before offending the Alchemist Union.
Furthermore, according to Zheng Yan, because
Zhang En has been entering the Ghuang Sacred Pool for a month, he will be coming out soon. At most, they would wait another two or three days.
However, he never imagined that this wait would end for another month.
"Chairman, how about we rush over there and kill that Zhang En straight away?" One of the elders suggested.
Zheng Yan gave a gaze filled with killing intent towards the Elder, "Are you very foolish to offend and break through the territory of the Alchemist Union?"
The elder shuddered, not daring to say another word.
....
On the other hand, when Mu Tian's group had also arrived at Moon City earlier, they also discovered that Zhang En had entered the Ghuang Sacred Pool to cultivate, too, thus making the same decision as Zheng Yan's group. They could only wait for Zhang En to come out.
However, it was already three months that had passed, yet Zhang En was also still not out yet!
Four months, five months, half a year passed.
Outside of the pond, Chu Yan and the other Elders who had been waiting here all this time, included Mou Li and also Maung Quan, having a surprised expression that deepened during this six-month span.
None of them imagined that Zhang En could cultivate inside for six consecutive months!
