Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

Chapter 723 - 644: Hundred Days of Foundation Establishment

This night, the commotion at the cave mansion on Scarlet Mist Peak was immense.

The intense fluctuation of Spiritual Qi, the vortex of Spiritual Qi swirling back.

Such astonishing supernatural phenomena instantly alarmed the entire cultivators on Flame Island.

Outside Scarlet Mist Peak, over a dozen figures hurriedly arrived.

These were disciples at the Foundation Establishment Realm from Fire Cloud Sect.

Standing at the forefront was Zhong Sumin, the True Master’s direct disciple.

He wore a grave expression, looking towards the cave mansion on Scarlet Mist Peak. Initially shocked, soon confused.

The majestic infusion of Spiritual Qi resembled the scene during the formation of a Dao Foundation.

"Brother Zhong!"

A fellow Foundation Establishment Realm junior couldn’t help but ask, "The reverse flow of Spiritual Qi from the direction of the cave mansion at Scarlet Mist Peak is extraordinary. Could it be that Senior Brother Shen has greatly advanced in cultivation, breaking through to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment?"

Generally speaking, small breakthroughs within the Foundation Establishment Realm do not cause such supernatural phenomena.

He recalled that Shen Haoming seemed to be at the Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer.

Could it be that Shen Haoming had hidden his realm cultivation and was actually at the Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer?

Having now broken through to the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer, entering the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment?

If that were the case, Fire Cloud Sect would indeed have gained a formidable hand.

A Late Stage Foundation Establishment Fire Cultivator, plus an Anomalous Fire like Red Cloud Primordial Fire.

Throughout Fire Cloud Sect, only Ming Shen True Master, Zhong Sumin, and Zeng Yuyuan could compare.

Zhong Sumin’s eyes flashed with anger, and he softly commanded, "Silence. Master’s decree is clear, no idle discussion about Junior Brother Shen."

"Junior Brother Shen is Master Primordial Fire’s secret disciple, of noble status, not to be speculated upon by us."

The rebuked junior quickly lowered his head in acknowledgment, a trace of dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes, muttering softly, "Hmph, in the end, we’re all in the Foundation Establishment Realm, what’s the difference!"

Zhong Sumin pretended not to hear.

Since Shen Haoming’s arrival, Ming Shen True Master had viewed him with special regard, treating him with exceptional esteem.

Vaguely shaking the foundation of his position as the sect’s senior brother.

Moreover, Shen Haoming did not regard him at all.

Lacking even the minimum respect due to the sect’s senior brother.

The look in his eyes, his attitude, there’s no difference from any other Foundation Establishment Realm disciple in the sect.

Zhong Sumin could even sense that Shen Haoming held him in contempt.

Red Cloud Primordial Fire’s fire technique, such a secret was never considered whether it suited him.

In this moment, he outwardly rebuked.

In truth, he was inciting these juniors to harbor dissatisfaction towards Shen Haoming.

At this moment, Zhong Sumin looked towards the cave mansion on Scarlet Mist Peak, concentrating his observation.

To his astonishment.

The Spiritual Qi vortex showed no sign of calming down.

This defied reason!

Zhong Sumin spoke in a deep voice, "It’s not a breakthrough by Junior Brother Shen. Though this Spiritual Qi phenomenon is grand, if you look closely, the Spiritual Qi is mottled, the foundation floating, chaotic and disordered."

"It resembles more a breakthrough of a Qi Cultivation Realm cultivator."

"What? A Qi Cultivation Realm breakthrough?"

The dozen or so Foundation Establishment disciples behind were astounded at the words, their mouths agape.

"How could a Qi Cultivation breakthrough cause such commotion?"

"Indeed, this is unheard of!"

"Could it be the newly admitted Junior Sister Yang Huofeng?"

Someone thought of a possibility.

"Impossible, right? She only moved to Scarlet Mist Peak three months ago. At that time, she was merely at the Qi Cultivation Second Layer. Could it be her?"

"Who else but her? In the cave mansion on Scarlet Mist Peak, only Senior Brother Shen, Junior Sister Yang, and her father Yang Yunfan reside. It couldn’t possibly be Yang Yunfan."

"What you say makes sense. If it’s truly Junior Sister Yang, to have advanced from Qi Cultivation Second Layer to Qi Cultivation Third Layer, then break through the Middle Stage minor realm in three months, invoking a Spiritual Qi phenomenon, this Senior Brother Shen does have some means."

An elder disciple muttered.

Another quietly exclaimed, "For the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation to cause such might, Junior Sister Yang’s talent is indeed exceptional!"

For a while, everyone engaged in fervent discussion.

At this moment, a brilliant red figure swiftly arrived.

The escape light dispersing revealed none other than Zeng Yuyuan.

She glanced over the crowd and said loudly, "Everyone, Ming Shen True Master’s decree states that the phenomenon at Scarlet Mist Peak cave mansion is due to Junior Brother Shen’s cultivation. It is a routine matter, and there is no need for disturbance. All of you must disperse immediately, return to your respective cave mansions, and no further discussion or external disclosure is allowed."

Seeing Zeng Yuyuan personally come to deliver the True Master’s decree, the disciples, despite their curiosity, refrained from further comments. Bowing in respect, they transformed into escape light and dispersed.

After everyone had left.

Zhong Sumin turned to Zeng Yuyuan, lowering his voice to ask, "Sister Zeng, was it Yang Huofeng, that girl, who caused such a commotion earlier?"

Zeng Yuyuan nodded slightly, softly speaking, "Brother Zhong guessed correctly. It was indeed Junior Sister Yang in the breakthrough. Master said Junior Sister Yang is exceptionally gifted, possessing a hidden Fire Spirit Root, and had her Dantian sealed by someone using a mysterious Daoist technique since childhood."

"For the past three months, Junior Brother Shen has been using Master Primordial Fire’s secret Daoist techniques to break the seal within Junior Sister Yang."

"Only now has it been successfully accomplished. Junior Sister Yang’s awakening of her bloodline triggered the heavenly and earthly Spiritual Qi phenomenon."

Zhong Sumin came to full realization, "So that’s how it is!"

"Junior Brother Shen indeed deserves to be Master Primordial Fire’s secret disciple, possessing extraordinary perception and methods. To discover such a gem from nothing, adding a talented disciple to our Fire Cloud Sect, truly is the sect’s fortune!"

His words were earnest, with a smile on his face.

Zeng Yuyuan nodded, showing appreciation.

"Indeed, Master said Junior Brother Shen’s Daoist techniques are profound, and his future achievements are limitless. He advised you and me to build a good rapport with him."

"Junior Brother Shen choosing Junior Sister Yang and winning Master’s approval must have its reason."

The two exchanged a few words.

Zhong Sumin praised Shen Xuan repeatedly.

However, after Zeng Yuyuan turned into a stream of light and departed.

The smile on Zhong Sumin’s face instantly vanished.

He gazed at the cave mansion on Scarlet Mist Peak that had yet to calm down, a trace of jealousy and grievance flickering deep within his eyes.
