Chapter 2130 - 2130: Qualification Competition in the Mystic Realm 1
Di Hongyun couldn’t contain his delight upon witnessing Gu Chaoyan’s arrival at the Beastmaster Sect. From the very moment she set foot within the sect, he seemed to be magnetically drawn to her presence.
“Junior Sister, you’ve finally arrived! These days have been dreadfully dull.
Xinde remains preoccupied with Green Sun Grass affairs over at the Medicine Sect, while Zhengyang inexplicably ignores me. It’s been ages since I found someone to engage with, and my mission outings have become a distant memory. The monotony has been stifling. Your arrival is a breath of fresh air.”
Di Hongyun’s happiness was palpable, though not without a touch of restraint.
Gu Chaoyan felt a throbbing headache building within her.
Elder Lin from the Weapon Refining Sect was annoyance incarnate, and the Elder of the Medicine Sect had an inexhaustible supply of verbosity.
She had anticipated that the Beastmaster Sect would offer her some much-needed respite.
However, the prospect of encountering Di Hongyun at the Beastmaster Sect was beyond her expectations—his incessant vexations threatened to push her to her limits!
Amidst the competitive scramble for entrance into the mystic realm and the diligent cultivation efforts of all, Di Hongyun’s concerns centered on a dearth of playmates.
What conceivable purpose could he have in the lofty realm of the Supreme Sect?
“I intend to focus on my cultivation. Feel free to occupy yourself however you please,” Gu Chaoyan retorted with an icy edge, immersing herself in her cultivation practice.
Within the confines of the Beastmaster Sect, apart from the prescribed cultivation techniques and assigned missions, disciples were largely expected to nourish their spiritual roots through individual endeavors. With the imminent opening of the level-5 mystic realm, the sect granted the disciples a month to cultivate in advance.
Thus, upon her return to the Beastmaster Sect, Gu Chaoyan resolved to cultivate in solitude.
Despite Di Hongyun’s impending antics, Gu Chaoyan disregarded his presence.
Emerging from her cultivation session, Gu Chaoyan found herself confronted by the competition’s commencement.
At that very moment, Di Hongyun was already lurking around Gu Chaoyan’s designated area.
“Why have you chosen to be here instead of engrossed in your cultivation?” Gu Chaoyan inquired, her curiosity piqued. Di Hongyun appeared to have ample leisure time on his hands.
“I’m biding my time for you. No need to rush through my cultivation; I’ve already secured the qualifications to enter the mystic realm. Competition concerns don’t perturb me,” Di Hongyun stated bluntly.
“Is that so?”
“Senior Brother Shao Simiao vouched for my entry into the mystic realm,” Di Hongyun admitted, a wry grin on his face.
“Alright,” Gu Chaoyan responded, as if comprehending the situation.
Di Hongyun’s expression shifted to one of surprise. “Aren’t you curious about how it all happened?”
“How did it transpire? You must have offered him something he desired even more, securing the right to enter the mystic realm. Could it be the Green Sun Grass?” Gu Chaoyan posed casually.
“How did you figure that out?” Di Hongyun’s amazement deepened.
Gu Chaoyan brushed aside his reaction.
Such an inference was elementary.
The Green Sun Grass was appropriated by them, and this was common knowledge.
Furthermore, Gu Chaoyan possessed a clear grasp of Di Hongyun’s share.
Given that Di Hongyun hadn’t planted the herb himself, it was consumed. Yet, his cultivation hadn’t undergone any noticeable alteration, implying he hadn’t ingested it directly. It was a logical deduction, and it seemed her presumption held true.
“Stay put, you’re not off the hook yet. Share how you deduced it,” Di Hongyun insisted, doggedly hanging on to Gu Chaoyan.
“I’m not naive.”
“And you? What strategies have you formulated for this year’s competition?”
His words caught Gu Chaoyan off guard, leaving her momentarily taken aback.
Within the spatial confines, she plucked several unremarkable Green Sun Grass specimens, employing them for her cultivation.
Initially, her scheme had entailed a direct ascent to the echelons of the
Paragon Warrior tier on this occasion.
Yet, inexplicably…
Her advancement came to an abrupt halt at the Ninth Heaven of the Martial
God realm..
