Chapter 860, Mu Yanfeng

Translator: Silavin

 

“No wonder he could defeat Yi Buyan, who possessed a Mutated Martial Soul. This young man truly isn’t simple!” One Inner Sect Elder gently stroked his beard, his voice carrying traces of emotion and admiration.

 

Although this matter represented provocation and humiliation for their Northern Brilliant Hall, from the Sacred Land’s perspective, this was undoubtedly good news.

 

“Persisting two days at the thirty metres depth. Even among Inner Sect Disciples who annually receive permission to enter the Brilliant Sky Sacred Lake, few could achieve such results!”

 

Another Elder also spoke emotionally. Having persisted two days without showing signs of breaking through the lake surface indicated Qin Yichen could still continue!

 

Through keen perception, their consciousness all gathered upon the Brilliant Sky Sacred Lake.

 

“Once the Brilliant Sky Sacred Lake opens, the internal pressure grows greater daily. We really don’t know how much longer he can persist.”

 

“Hope he can persist for another half day. That way, his results could barely match that of the Specially Permitted Sacred Master Candidate.”

 

Suddenly, the four Elders’ forms trembled abruptly, as if recalling something.

 

The Specially Permitted Sacred Master Candidate?

 

They seemed to have deduced why the Sacred Land would willingly expend resources opening the Brilliant Sky Sacred Lake, moreover issuing invitations specifically to Outer Sect Disciples!

 

That Sacred Master Candidate’s circumstances back then bore some resemblance to this situation!

 

Could this opening of the Brilliant Sky Sacred Lake be related to this young man? Or rather, was it because of him that this exception was allowed to happen?

 

“It depends on himself now.” After considering certain possibilities, the four Elders all smiled bitterly and shook their heads, their eyes no longer holding the slightest trace of contempt.

 

Half a day seemed brief, but for Qin Yichen positioned beneath the Brilliant Sky Sacred Lake, he would likely need to pay an enormous price.

 

As for whether he could persist, that depended on his own capabilities.

 

Time flowed slowly amidst countless Sacred Land Disciples’ anticipation. As time passed, the originally oppressively atmospheric Brilliant Sky Sacred Land suddenly grew noisy. Even some Disciples in seclusion were disturbed, breaking through their secluded cultivation to arrive around the Brilliant Sky Sacred Lake.

 

Under countless people’s eager anticipation, two and a half days had elapsed. During this period, the Sacred Lake remained utterly calm, without the slightest disturbance. This indicated the young man within showed absolutely no signs of emerging!

 

Were it not for observing the four Elders’ solemn expressions, they truly suspected that he had already been crushed by the pressure inside!

 

No one knew how many years had passed since such a scene had last occurred. This situation, even annually, could only be achieved by top Disciples.

 

Yet now, the person within was merely a Martial Emperor!

 

Considering this, countless people’s expressions showed emotion. This young man who had caused a sensation recently seemingly truly possessed capabilities warranting renewed evaluation.

 

Throughout these two and a half days, this news spread directly throughout the entire Brilliant Sky Sacred Land. Whether Inner or Outer Sect, Disciples from all over had heard of it.

 

Upon learning this person was new to the Sacred Land, even belonging to the Pill Hall rather than the Northern Brilliant Hall, countless Disciples’ expressions became colourful.

 

One must understand that at the thirty metres depth, persisting two and a half days, even among current Inner Sect Northern Brilliant Hall members, few could achieve this. Moreover, everyone capable of achieving this were Martial Ancestors!

 

…

 

Within the Brilliant Sky Sacred Land, Inner Sect Northern Brilliant Hall.

 

Upon a platform, a tall, slender silhouette sat quietly cross-legged. Faintly, traces of formidable Yuan Energy fluctuations emanated outward. They were not weaker than the Northern Brilliant Hall’s Elders!

 

*Whoosh!*

 

Yet this cultivation session did not persist for long. A sharp sound of breaking wind blasted forth, causing his brow to furrow slightly.

 

“Big Brother, something major happened!”

 

Before he could voice reprimand, a clear voice transmitted from behind. Subsequently, a yellow-robed Mu Yanzhen descended behind him, calling out somewhat anxiously.

 

“What happened?”

 

This man gazed at Mu Yanzhen with doting eyes, his tone remaining steady.

 

This person was the current Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s Sacred Master Candidate… Mu Yanfeng!

 

“Do you still remember Qin Yichen?”

 

“Oh, that young man who developed the Compound Pill? What about him? Did he provoke you?”

 

Mu Yanfeng smiled, not even lifting his head as he spoke.

 

“I don’t know what good fortune he encountered, but he actually obtained the qualification to enter the Brilliant Sky Sacred Lake!” Mu Yanzhen’s tone clearly carried traces of surprise as she spoke.

 

“Considering the Compound Pill’s merits, if he requested it, such privilege isn’t impossible. What? You’re not worried that friend of his will continue harassing you?”

 

Mu Yanfeng felt no surprise, speaking casually.

 

“Big Brother…”

 

Hearing this, Mu Yanzhen seemed to recall that burly figure demanding she bear his children. Immediately, her pretty face flushed red. Subsequently, she bit her silver teeth lightly, saying: “He descended to the Brilliant Sky Sacred Lake’s thirty-metre position to cultivate!”

 

“Thirty metres?” Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed through Mu Yanfeng’s eyes. However, he said nothing. He was that person who obtained Sacred Master Candidate qualification.

 

Back then, he only cultivated at the twenty metres depth, which did not mean he could not continue descending. However, in the path of cultivation, what suited oneself best was different depending on the person. Rashly going deeper would instead prove counterproductive.

 

Originally holding slight good will toward this youth because of the Compound Pill matter, it instantly dissipated completely. He truly hadn’t expected the young man who created the Compound Pill would be such a reckless person.

 

“He’s already been there for two and a half days!”

 

However, with Mu Yanzhen’s next sentence, finally some emotion appeared on Mu Yanfeng’s expressionless countenance. He turned his head with some surprise, asking. “He persisted at thirty metres for two and a half days?”

 

As someone who, at the Martial Emperor Realm, had entered the Brilliant Sky Sacred Lake to cultivate, he clearly understood how terrifying that internal pressure was.

 

Thirty metres depth, two and a half days of pressure. It was not weaker than when he persisted through the fifth day at the twenty metres depth!

 

Even he, back then at the Peak Stage Martial Emperor Realm, had exerted utmost effort to persist, barely enduring that terrifying pressure while cultivating.

 

He had not expected someone could now reach a level comparable to his!

 

“Seems that young man truly possesses some capability.” Mu Yanfeng smiled faintly, speaking.
