149: Chapter 149 Six Free and Unfettered Realm cultivators in one night?

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere inside the tent suddenly became solemn and murderous.

Although they knew that individual strength was ultimately no match for thousands of troops, no one dared to lower their guard at this moment.

There were many experts from various countries; once Northern Li showed signs of defeat, it would surely become the target of all.

By then, their team would no longer be the focus.

Everyone nodded silently, each calculating in their hearts, and no one spoke.

...

On Mr. Su's side, the Disciples were reviewing what they had gained from the battlefield today.

Only through actual combat experience can one truly hone their cultivation.

Among the several Disciples, although Sikong Qianluo was not the strongest, she performed the best on the battlefield.

With almost no worry of her Internal Energy being depleted, she nearly became a calamity on the battlefield, invincible wherever she went.

Zhu Yuyan and Empress Wu listened from the side, both showing signs of approval for these young people under Mr. Su's tutelage.

"Your current Realms are still shallow, but you are already able to control your own cultivation, which counts as some progress." Mr. Su stood up with a smile. "In that case, I shall grant you some Opportunities."

As he spoke, he beckoned to Li Hanyi.

Li Hanyi was stunned for a moment, then stood up and followed him out of the tent.

The others looked through the lifted corner of the curtain and saw the Master and Disciple enter a large tent not far away.

The heavy tent curtain then fell, blocking their view.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Yin Luoxia's eyes flickered slightly as if she realized something, yet she was hesitant and dared not be certain—Master had just said "you all," not "you."

Could it be... he plans to guide and elevate them one by one?

"Now isn't the time for rest, is it?" Empress Wu's tone was subtle. "Besides, Li Hanyi is still young."

The corner of her lips curled up as she teased, "Why not let my Senior Sister do it on her behalf?

She has a curvaceous figure and is already mature; she would better appreciate the subtleties involved."

After Empress Wu's words, Zhu Yuyan's cheeks instantly flushed red. She stared at her with glaring eyes, wishing she could tear that smug, smiling face apart.

This woman is becoming increasingly outspoken!

The Disciples under Mr. Su were also all blushing, keeping their heads down and not daring to make a sound.

No one knew what Master was really planning.

One moment he says he's giving a reward, and the next, he pulls a stunt like this? Could it be... this is the so-called reward?

The girls glanced at each other, but a secret hint of expectation was quietly hidden in their eyes.

"Zhu Yuyans informal name for Wu Zhao, if you really can't stand the loneliness, I won't stop you. You can go ahead and approach him yourself!"

Zhu Yuyan was both ashamed and angry. Pushed to her limit, she retorted sharply.

"When I feel like it, I'll naturally go. Can you stop me? Besides, the person he's betrothed to is that young girl; it's not your place to worry!"

Empress Wu sneered, her words like a knife, stabbing straight into Zhu Yuyan's heart.

With a 'shing,' these words were sharper than a sword. Zhu Yuyan was instantly speechless, her face turning pale and blue, unable to utter another word.

Yin Luoxia and the others watched from the side, dumbfounded.

Who could have imagined that the Queen of Yin, who struck fear into the hearts of the Jianghu, would be rendered speechless? Shi Feixuan looked at Zhu Yuyan with a complex expression—this Grandmaster-level figure who led the Yin Gui Sect and stirred up storms was now acting like a child whose candy had been stolen.

Meanwhile, Li Hanyi sat to the side, her heart in turmoil.

She couldn't guess what Mr. Su actually trying to do.

"Sit properly, focus your mind, and calm your breath. I will now help you step into the Carefree Heaven Realm."

Mr. Su turned and instructed.

Li Hanyi suddenly widened her eyes in disbelief. "My cultivation hasn't even reached the Peak of the Earth Realm... how can I reach the heavens in a single step?"

She naturally knew that Yin Luoxia had been forcibly elevated to the Carefree Heaven Realm, but that was a special case. Now, with her own Foundation still unstable, how could she rashly attempt a Breakthrough?

"No need to worry." Mr. Su smiled indifferently. "What you all practice is the Sacred Heart Art, and the power within my body is of no use to me now. It's perfect to circulate it through your body; even waste can be turned into treasure."

"Power... of no use?"

Li Hanyi looked completely dazed.

"Concentrate on regulating your breathing. I will pass on my insights regarding the Carefree Heaven Realm to you as well, so that you won't have the Realm but be unable to control it."

Li Hanyi asked no more questions. She silently sat cross-legged, concentrating and waiting.

...

After half an incense stick's time, Zhu Yuyan and Empress Wu had long lost the mood for bickering and were each sitting quietly with their eyes closed.

Ye Ruoyi was also taken to rest by Luo Xian and Yue Qing.

The others were waiting anxiously when suddenly, a surging aura gushed out from the distant tent.

"Hmm? Someone else has achieved a Breakthrough?"

Empress Wu raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Yin Luoxia nodded slightly, her expression calm, as if she had expected it.

The other women were all astonished.

Deep in the military camp, Xiao Ruofeng was discussing the battle situation with the generals when he suddenly looked up toward the source of that aura.

"Someone has broken through! The direction is right over there... it's likely a Disciple who gained an Opportunity during last night's battle and had an Epiphany for a Breakthrough."

Ye Eagle pondered, "Several Disciples went to the battlefield today. If there are any changes, perhaps even that expert will take action personally."

"While that is possible, we cannot rely on uncertain matters." Xiao Ruofeng's tone was firm. "If the Demonic Cult dares to circle around for a surprise attack, we can also use surprise troops to defeat the enemy.

With sufficient troops, why fear a night raid?"

Everyone chimed in with agreement.

At this time, Li Hanyi was still regulating her breath to stabilize her newly attained Realm, while Mr. Su slowly walked out of the tent.

"Qianluo!"

With a soft call, Sikong Qianluo came running at the sound.

About half an hour later, another wave of aura surged out.

Zhu Yuyan and Empress Wu looked at each other, both seeing shock in the other's eyes.

Can experts really be trained like this?

These young girls, if placed in major Schools, would at most be considered the backbone, still some distance from the top.

Now, having achieved successive Breakthroughs, they are already experts capable of shaking the regional landscape.

In an ordinary School, such a figure might not appear once in ten years, yet Mr. Su has elevated six people in a single night!

Is this even cultivation? It's practically wholesale!

Next, Mu Liangyue, the Su Sisters, Shi Feixuan... one after another, they broke through the barriers, their auras rising steadily.

The people around had long been dumbfounded.

Six Carefree Heaven Realms in one night?!

When did this Realm become as common as ordinary people on the street?

Even someone like Empress Wu could not have imagined that legendary Realms could emerge in such quick succession.

The next morning, Xiao Ruofeng and Lei Mengsha arrived together, feeling several powerful auras rushing toward them from a distance.

They saw Li Hanyi and the others standing before the tent, their spiritual power not yet fully contained, clearly having just achieved their Breakthroughs.

The two were stunned on the spot, unable to regain their senses for a long time.

"What brings you two here?"

Mr. Su did not appear; Yin Luoxia stepped forward to inquire.

"Ah? It's nothing... we were just startled by the commotion last night. Has Mr. Su... not woken up yet?" Xiao Ruofeng stammered.

"Master expended a lot last night and is still resting." Yin Luoxia nodded slightly.

"Ex... expended a lot?"

Lei Mengsha's pupils constricted, and some inappropriate images instantly flashed through his mind, making his face turn green.

Soon, Mr. Su walked out, dragging his weary body.

On that face, usually as elegant as the wind, a faint dark tint now appeared, and his eyes showed weariness.

"..."

This appearance looked for all the world like someone who had been overworking for days and was suffering from excessive physical exhaustion.

Surely not? It really couldn't be!

Xiao Ruofeng had obviously also misunderstood.

The two had subtle expressions, which Mr. Su caught at a glance.

His brow furrowed slightly, and his tone was somewhat reproachful. "You still have the mind to come here?"

The two were taken aback, not understanding why.

Mr. Su said coldly, "Do you think the people of the Demonic Cult are unaware of the news that Baili Dongjun is arriving? Can they resist taking action?" Before he could finish, the faces of the two instantly changed.

They immediately cupped their hands in salute, turned, and left in a hurry.

Mr. Su's gaze slowly swept over the women beside him, and he nodded slightly.

Although he was exhausted in body and mind, the harvest was extremely bountiful—all six Disciples had entered the Carefree Heaven Realm.

The price was that the Sacred Heart Art True Qi in his body was nearly depleted, but for him, this Cultivation Technique was no longer his Foundation.

His primary cultivation method now was the Great Jilei Mountain Yimu True Lightning Method, which was far more powerful than before.

"Teacher, why not rest a bit longer?" someone advised softly.

"No need, recovery is just a matter of time."

Mr. Su responded indifferently, his gaze fixed on the distance.

There, dust was swirling, war drums were faintly thumping, and the army had begun to advance.

The movements of the Demonic Cult were well within his expectations.

Just as Xiao Ruofeng and Lei Mengsha returned to the military camp, they received an urgent report from scouts: the enemy's main force was approaching Qingyun Terrace at full speed.

The entire army immediately entered a state of combat readiness.

After receiving Mr. Su's approval, Li Hanyi and the others soared into the air and headed straight for the battlefield.

This time, there was no more hesitation in their eyes, only determination and confidence.

As they left, Zhu Yuyan's eyes flickered, and she quietly approached Mr. Su's side, as if she had made a great resolution.

Under Empress Wu's meaningful gaze, she reached out and took Mr. Su's arm.

Mr. Su glanced at her sideways but did not pull away.

The warm, soft touch on his arm actually caused his tense mind to relax slightly.

The Demonic Cult was clearly planning a last-ditch struggle this time.

Although the State Preceptor was injured, he could still fight, but wanting to stop Ye Dingzhi again was now an extravagant hope.

Just as the other side had planned earlier—

Once the State Preceptor retreated in defeat, Ye Dingzhi would be like a tiger among sheep, slaughtering the experts on the Apocalypse side.

Xiao Ruofeng and Lei Mengsha looked heavy-hearted. They glanced at each other and simultaneously pounced toward Ye Dingzhi.

If they didn't pin this person down, their own front line would surely collapse completely.

On the other side, the Former Head of the Five Grand Eunuchs was still entangled in a fight with Tyrant.

The two fought intensely, yet they tacitly avoided a life-and-death struggle.

On another side, the Dark River Patriarch faced Invincible East, who was clad in red robes.

The two moved as fast as startled swans, leaving behind almost only afterimages.

The Yanmo Palm's power was terrifying, forcing Invincible East not to meet it head-on;

And Invincible East's ghost-like speed also made the Dark River Patriarch wary.

"Waning Moon!"

Li Hanyi's sword tip vibrated, the hanguang sword sweeping away several Demonic Cult Elders who were surrounding her, as she spun around and went straight for Ye Dingzhi.

A newborn calf fears no tiger; her Sword Intent was as solid as iron, her expression solemn, as if she were one with the sword.

She boldly unleashed the Shattering Star killing technique.

After only a few moves, Xiao Ruofeng and Lei Mengsha already showed signs of decline.

Without reinforcements, a crisis would arrive in an instant.

Just then, Li Hanyi's sword swept across the air, forcing Ye Dingzhi, who was about to strike a killing blow, to retreat and evade.

He steadied himself, his gaze falling on the young girl beside Lei Mengsha, his expression remaining calm.

But in his heart, he already understood her identity.
