Chapter 190: Shangguan Yunxi’s Decision, Old Chang’s Admonition

While the previous ten years were too extreme, twenty years would definitely be no problem for her.

She glanced at Night Lingyun beside her, shook her head again, and then turned and flew towards the Divine Hall.

Now, the task of recruiting people fell to her.

They would act immediately after the Grand Competition ended!

At the same time, the personnel on the other two sides also began to move, having evidently received new instructions.

......

Above Lingxiao Divine Hall.

“Um… Pavilion Master, should we still notify about what just happened?”

Grand Elder Liu Feng recovered from his shock and looked at Chutian River in front of him.

His cultivation and knowledge were insufficient for him to fully grasp how rare the anomaly before him was.

Coupled with Lin Fei’s various abnormal test results from before, he had developed some immunity.

Therefore, despite his shock, he still thought of the main business.

“No need, I know the reason!”

Chutian River slowly replied, gazing at the Dharma Idol anomaly in the sky.

The heart that had been hanging in suspense finally settled.

Because just now, he had received a proactive response from the Artifact Spirit.

The reason for the broken connection was that someone was choosing to break through within the Divine Hall, and the Artifact Spirit was performing protective measures to prevent damage to some of the internal testing spaces.

As for Luo Xingchen’s progress bar, that was entirely due to his own reasons.

That fellow had only comprehended for one day, and spent the following few days running around aimlessly within the testing space.

The Artifact Spirit even showed him that video clip.

Therefore, his heart was now completely at ease.

As long as no one was secretly causing trouble, it was fine.

Behind the crowd, in a corner of the plaza.

Gu Ming looked up at the anomaly in the sky, unable to recover for a long time.

If one looked closely, they could see longing and a hint of envy in his eyes.

“Little Gu, you don’t need to be too shocked. As long as your physique undergoes transformation, you can achieve the same when you advance to the Dharma Idol!”

Old Chang’s voice came, pulling Gu Ming back from his trance.

He admitted that he had felt a bit bitter just now.

Lin Fei’s cultivation talent indeed seemed somewhat despairing.

It was almost perfect, without any flaws.

His combat power was extraordinary, his tenacity and patience were superb, and even his comprehension was an existence that shone through the ages!

If such a person were to grow normally, they would definitely cause those of the same generation who cultivated the invincible path to collapse and despair!

He was like a towering mountain standing before everyone, pressing down on them until they couldn’t breathe.

“Old Chang, do you think he can safely leave Lingxiao Pavilion?”

His previous long-held idea wavered at this moment.

Before, he believed that Lin Fei, this ‘unique tree,’ would either be broken by interested parties, or even uprooted and taken away.

But now, this idea had become uncertain.

Such a perfect person should not be so oblivious to these matters.

“Heh heh, just watch. Remember, all of Lin Fei’s actions today are teaching you a lesson. If you can learn a part of it, and provided you don’t go against him, becoming a leader of this era will not be an issue!”

Old Chang did not answer directly, but instead offered another admonition.

“A leader, is that possible? Didn’t you say not to go against Lin Fei? Isn’t that contradictory?”

Gu Ming frowned, somewhat puzzled.

There could only be one leader, but not going against Lin Fei clearly meant admitting inferiority. How could he then become a leader?

He understood Old Chang’s words less and less.

“Alas, some things, with my identity, I cannot say aloud, or great disaster will befall. You may not understand, but you must follow what I am telling you now!”

Old Chang sighed slightly upon hearing this, then earnestly instructed him.

He understood that this young man’s desire to win was still very strong.

This was normally a good thing for young people.

The most crucial point was that this young man also knew the importance of enduring and feigning weakness.

This was key for a prodigy to survive until the end.

However, he must not develop a desire to win against that so-called ‘Lin Fei’.

It might not be obvious now, but as soon as this desire emerged, it would subtly grow and spread, little by little.

Until one day it became uncontrollable, and by then it would be too late.

If he could always be by his side, it would be fine, he could remind him from time to time.

But the most crucial part of the physique transformation depended on him.

The moment it succeeded, he would dissipate and exist in another form.

This was also why he had always emphasized that Gu Ming should not go against Lin Fei.

At the same time, observing Lin Fei’s entire process in this Grand Competition was partly for learning, and partly to make Gu Ming aware of the gap between them, so that his reminder would be more deeply ingrained in Gu Ming’s mind.

This method was actually somewhat dangerous; if not handled well, it could leave Gu Ming with a sense of fear.

But he had no choice but to do it; this was his last chance.

If Gu Ming also failed…

“Okay, I know what to do, Old Chang!”

Gu Ming nodded thoughtfully.

He then turned his gaze back to the Divine Hall.

The heaven and earth anomaly was gradually dissipating, and this Grand Competition was about to end.

Judging by Old Chang’s tone, Lin Fei should be fine.

He also wanted to see what Lin Fei would do in this situation.

Boom~~

Just then, a spatial tremor appeared in front of Lingxiao Divine Hall.

Immediately after, a figure slowly emerged.

Mo Xiao walked out, his complexion ruddy.

He was very satisfied with this Grand Competition test; he had given his absolute best.

Regardless of his ranking, he had no regrets.

Because this was his true condition.

Especially his comprehension on the fifth floor, which was even higher than his progress when he previously advanced to the Dharma Idol. 95% could already rank among the top three in Lingxiao Pavilion’s recorded history.

He was confident that this data point would not differ much from the other two.

However, he just looked up at the ranking divine pillar and froze.

This wasn’t a small difference at all; it was a world of difference.

The gap between him and Lin Fei, who was ranked first, and Luo Xingchen, who was third, was not ordinary.

Either terrifyingly low, or despairingly high.

Looking at it, only he seemed relatively normal.

The data for the other two was completely incomprehensible.

However, to receive recognition for second place, he was uncharacteristically excited.

Although he had stubbornly insisted on participating before, the true meaning was to see how big the gap was between him and the other two.

But he didn’t expect to actually get second place.

Although Luo Xingchen had not come out yet, he heard some discussions around him.

With his progress bar not moving for several days, it was almost hopeless.

As for the first place, he didn’t even want to look; there was no need.

That person’s true combat power was almost catching up to, no, it should be, had already caught up to or even surpassed his own Senior Brother. How could he still have the thought of comparison?

Initial Yuanshen Realm with the strength of late Crossing Tribulation Realm, now that he had broken through to the Dharma Idol, how could his combat power remain stagnant!
