Chapter 21: Nascent Soul Breaks To Become a Golden Core

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

At the Xuantian Mountain Range…

The night was as dark as ink.

Chu Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the people around him who were not moving.

Only then did he carefully listen to the voice in his mind.

[System has detected that the sect is under attack.]

[Detection complete. A sect disciple attacked.]

[Detected that the sect’s development is not right. Shifting the system’s review on the strength of the sect’s disciples forward. Determining whether the host has successfully taught a useless disciple.]

Why was the review suddenly brought forward?

The sect was under attack? His disciple was the one that had attacked? Why would Ye Luo attack the sect for no reason?

Chu Yuan was at a loss and had a bad feeling in his heart. However, he did not know what had happened and could only continue waiting.

[Beginning to review the current standards of the sect’s disciples.]

[Current Number Of Disciples: 1]

[Disciple Under Review: Ye Luo]

[Cultivation: Mortal/Soul Formation Stage]

[Combat Level: ???]

[Comprehensive Evaluation: This disciple’s constitution is close to that of a Dao Body and possesses monstrous talent. Although it was not the host who groomed this disciple to have such monstrous talent, the host shall bear the blame for this since the host accepted him as a disciple.]

[Review Completed. This disciple has been determined to be a genius. The host will be downgraded by one major realm.]

What the heck!?

Chu Yuan’s eyes widened.

Before he even had any time to react, the tiny human Nascent Soul in his dantian suddenly exploded…

It happened without any warning. After the system had finished its evaluation, his Nascent Soul had immediately exploded and turned into specks of light. They then gathered together under his gaze and formed the shape of a Golden Core.

His Dharmic power shrank rapidly…

He now had less than a tenth of its original strength.

By the time Chu Yuan reacted, he had already become a Golden Core cultivator.

His Nascent Soul had really shattered and become a Golden Core…

He had heard of a Golden Core breaking to form a Nascent Soul. This was the first time he had seen a Nascent Soul shattering to become a Golden Core. Furthermore, such tragedy had befallen him.

Chu Yuan’s face darkened.

What the hell?

His disciple, Ye Luo, had become a genius?

How did such a thing happen?

He had never taught Ye Luo before, right? He had just casually said a few words to him before letting him rot by himself. How had he become a genius?

He had even caused the system to shift its review earlier. The worst part was that he had been downgraded from the Nascent Soul stage to the Golden Core stage…

What was going on?

Could it be that Ye Luo was really able to figure cultivation techniques just by listening to his lies?

Hehe!

If he really managed to do so, he would swallow the hundred-year-old socks in his shoes on the spot!

But how had Ye Luo become so talented?

Chu Yuan, who had become a Golden Core, still could not figure out how it had happened. He then focused his sights on the system’s comprehensive evaluation.

Ye Luo possesses a constitution close to the Dao Body and possesses monstrous talent. Could it be because of this?

Dao Body, Dao Body…

Could it be that he really figured out something from the rubbish he had said!?

What could he even comprehend from that?

If so, why hadn’t he himself gained any insights from what he had said?

Could it be because he was stupid?

Chu Yuan naturally skipped the matter of eating the socks in his shoes.

At this moment, he felt extremely sad. This was especially so when he looked at the pitch-black night sky.

Life was really difficult.

He only wanted to take in a useless disciple without a spirit root. Why had he taken in someone with a Dao Body?

The worst part was that he was no longer a Nascent Soul powerhouse…

He had become a Golden Core scum…

Life’s so hard.

Chu Yuan looked up at the sky, feeling depressed.

On the other side, the Grand Elder, who did not rest at all, narrowed his eyes and looked at Chu Yuan cautiously.

When he saw Chu Yuan looking up at the sky with a depressed look, his mood couldn’t help but start sinking.

He did not know what the reason was… It felt as if Chu Yuan had infected him. His mood started becoming extremely bad, and there was even an air of melancholy growing around him.

Logically speaking, as a Soul Formation cultivator, it was impossible for him to lose control of his emotions. However, he seemed to have really been affected by Chu Yuan and started becoming depressed too.

Sigh…

The Grand Elder let out a huge sigh, with countless thoughts rising in his mind. Those were all matters of his youth.

No!

The Grand Elder suddenly shuddered.

Why was he thinking about all this?

He shook his head and threw all these thoughts to the back of his mind.

He continued to stare at the peerless existence.

After taking a closer look, his eyes suddenly widened. He suddenly discovered that this peerless existence’s cultivation had dropped. He had clearly been at the Nascent Soul stage before, but he was now a Golden Core cultivator…

He blinked and looked again—this peerless existence was still at the Golden Core stage!

He then rubbed his eyes and looked again—this peerless existence was still at the Golden Core stage!

This peerless existence’s drop in cultivation was not a disguise! He was genuinely now at the Golden Core stage!

Had this Sect Leader of the hidden sect already reached such a realm where he could freely control his cultivation level?

The Grand Elder began to look back on his own cultivation road.

Could this be the path that one had to take before ascending? To walk the path of cultivation once again…

Was this the realm this peerless existence was at?

Hiss!

How terrifying!

The Grand Elder sucked in a breath of cold air and hurriedly closed his eyes, not daring to be discovered by this existence.

The Grand Elder continued to squint his eyes. Unknowingly, he became depressed again. This air of melancholy was almost impossible to suppress.

And just like that, the long night passed amid this air of melancholy.

The next day…

When dawn arrived, Chu Yuan left the place with Zhang Han.

The Great Elder and the others felt reluctant as Chu Yuan left.

Not long after Chu Yuan left, the disciples heaved a sigh of relief and started a heated discussion.

“This peerless existence has finally left. However, our mission has been completed, right? We should be on good terms with him now.”

“It’s a pity that I didn’t receive the guidance of this peerless existence…”

“To be honest, I initially wanted to consult him at night, but I wasn’t brave enough…”

Many disciples expressed their pity.

Many of them had had the intention to seek guidance from him, but none of them had the guts to say it out loud.

The Grand Elder’s expression did not change. He had long regained his solemn look.

“Alright, alright. Since this peerless existence has left, it’s time for us to return to the sect.”

The Grand Elder’s tone was serious, but there was a hint of satisfaction in it.

This time, he could be considered as the bridge between the Qian Emperor Dao Sect and the Daoless Sect.

Most importantly, he had successfully given this existence a gift. It was equivalent to showing his face in front of this existence!

Furthermore, he had also found out something. If an existence at the Tribulation stage wanted to ascend, they would need to walk down the path of cultivation once more.

The Sect Leader of the hidden sect was such an example. The more he cultivated, the lower his cultivation level was.

He had dropped from the Nascent Soul stage to the Golden Core stage right in front of the Grand Elder’s eyes.

Perhaps when the Sect Leader of the hidden sect reached the Qi Refinement stage or even became a mortal again, only then would he be able to ascend.

The Grand Elder felt that he could use this piece of information to exchange for a bunch of favors from the others.

He believed that the Sect Leader would definitely be very interested in this piece of information. Thus, he could use this to exchange for favors or cultivation resources.

A glint flashed across the Grand Elder’s eyes…
