MTLNOVEL Chapter 511_2
Only one person sat calmly in his original place, that was an old man with white hair and beard, he was the Great Elder of Ghost Ridge Palace, Tang Peiqing, a strong cultivator of Secret Realm Fifth Level, and the most senior elder of Ghost Ridge Palace.
Bolts of lightning struck Tang Peiqing, charring his flesh, skin torn and flesh exposed.
"Is this... Elder Tang breaking through to the Taoist Platform Realm?"
Zhang Junwei, upon seeing it, was the first to react, his face filled with ecstatic joy.
The other elders also saw it, and their eyes were full of envy. Many of them had broken through realms; after all, compared to a disciple, the comprehension of those who can cultivate to the Secret Realm is not poor, and the gains from sudden enlightenment would naturally be high, allowing strength to break through a level.
But the difference between Secret Realm and Taoist Platform Realm is a completely different concept; the former is the backbone of the sect, while the latter can act as the stabilizer of the sect.
In many medium and large sects, often only the Sect Master possesses the cultivation of the Taoist Platform Realm, and some sects' Sect Masters are only at Secret Realm Fifth Level.
Even in Qingzhou's top sect, Guan Chao Pavilion, the number of strong individuals at the Taoist Platform Realm is only seven.
It is conceivable how difficult it is to break through and ascend to the Taoist Platform Realm.
The lightning tribulation continued to strike Tang Peiqing, lasting for almost half an hour, and Tang Peiqing ultimately endured the lightning tribulation.
When the dark clouds dispersed above, as Tang Peiqing walked out, his cultivation had impressively advanced to the Taoist Platform Realm, becoming a First-Level powerhouse in the Taoist Platform Realm.
"Haha, Elder Tang, congratulations on your advancement to the Taoist Platform Realm today, it's really a blessing for our Ghost Ridge Palace!"
Zhang Junwei's face blossomed into a chrysanthemum smile, he, Su Jie, plus Tang Peiqing who just advanced, Ghost Ridge Palace now has three Taoist Platform Realm, with the weakening of Guan Chao Pavilion until now, it might be possible to compete for the title of Qingzhou's top sect.
"Being able to advance to the Taoist Platform Realm, I have to thank Su Jie. Without the Dragon Vein Crystal Fruit he brought back, I would not have encountered such an opportunity for enlightenment."
Tang Peiqing looked at Su Jie, who was still sitting cross-legged and meditating, with eyes full of gratitude and continued emotion: "I never would have thought, the junior I was once asked to take care of has grown to this extent, the future of Ghost Ridge Palace really depends on him, Taoist Qiu, you have truly raised a good disciple!"
Tang Peiqing watched Su Jie grow step by step. After becoming an Immortal Seed, Su Jie's progress speed accelerated even more. Those who had helped Su Jie in the past, such as himself, are now being taken care of by Su Jie. Such speed of progress is so fast that even Tang Peiqing, an experienced and knowledgeable senior elder, is filled with emotion.
"It's all thanks to Su Jie's own hard work, I just gave some minor pointers, it's not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."
Taoist Qiu stroked his beard, humbly speaking, but his voice was like thunder, afraid others wouldn't know.
"You might be about to break through too."
Tang Peiqing rolled his eyes, then glanced at Taoist Qiu a few times and said, "It seems you've gained a lot too, the Taoist Platform Realm could be expected!"
Taoist Qiu was already one of the top-ranking elders in combat power at Ghost Ridge Palace, and now with a sudden enlightenment, it feels like there is a great hope to break through to the Taoist Platform Realm.
"It's uncertain, don't praise me too much, breaking through to the Taoist Platform Realm isn't that easy."
Taoist Qiu waved his hand, but couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Although he hadn't broken through to the Taoist Platform Realm, he had completely consolidated his Secret Realm Fifth Level cultivation, feeling that under the influence of the Dragon Vein, in the coming years, there is a great chance of crossing this step.
While they were talking, in the sky, the illusory dragon shadow gradually faded and finally slowly disappeared into the air, which also meant the opportunity for enlightenment was coming to an end.
At the last second of the illusory True Dragon disappearing, Su Jie finally opened his eyes and awakened from the enlightenment.
Su Jie suddenly opened his eyes, two beams of divine light burst forth, and there was an invisible wind swept around as he breathed, blowing many disciples off balance.
Spiritual energy centered around Su Jie, forming a funnel shape, with massive amounts of spiritual energy pouring into Su Jie's body.
Crack!
Crack!
Two crisp sounds simultaneously came from within Su Jie's body, the total amount of spiritual power inside him skyrocketed several times.
"Taoist Platform Realm Fourth Layer, achieved."
Su Jie clenched his fist. He directly broke through two levels in a row, reaching the Taoist Platform Realm Fourth Layer's cultivation in one breath.
The cultivation breakthrough of the Taoist Platform Realm primarily focuses on the seven orifices, and in this sudden enlightenment, Su Jie directly cleared the seven orifices of his nose.
Because the two nostrils of the human nose are interconnected, plus Su Jie's talent, Purple Cloud Thunder Body, and his strong Primordial Spirit, Su Jie's enlightenment yield was the most among everyone present, particularly choosing the nose to break through, allows him to break through two levels in one breath, achieving a rapid advancement in strength.
"Su Jie, what's this...?"
Zhang Junwei and Tang Peiqing could most feel the change in Su Jie's strength. Just the oppressive aura was enough; Zhang Junwei was fine, while Tang Peiqing felt like a small fish in front of Su Jie, facing a ferocious hunter, the crocodile, completely unable to resist.
Tang Peiqing understood that though he advanced to the Taoist Platform Realm, when it comes to strength, there is a gap like an abyss between him and Su Jie, completely incomparable.
Even the current Sect Master Zhang Junwei is probably not a match for Su Jie anymore.
Tang Peiqing thought this in his heart, from a practical standpoint, he didn't think Zhang Junwei could surpass Su Jie anymore.
"Su Jie, the Dragon Vein Crystal Fruit you brought to the sect has greatly increased the sect's foundation; you joining the Ghost Ridge Palace and becoming a disciple of Ghost Ridge Palace destined you to lead Ghost Ridge Palace to glory, so I have decided..."
Zhang Junwei took a deep breath, looking intently at Su Jie, and said, "I have decided to transfer the position of Sect Master to Su Jie."
Once these words came out, the expression of each cultivator present froze, followed by an uproar.
This decision came too unexpectedly, catching them off guard.
Su Jie himself was the same, but hearing this, he did not feel the excitement he imagined, instead, he shook his head and said, "Sect Master, there's no rush for this. With the opportunity of the Dragon Vein here, I need to focus my energy on the breakthroughs, striving to quickly breakthrough to the Taoist Platform Realm Fifth, Sixth, Seventh Layer, and even the Purple Mansion Realm."
As for the position of Sect Master, Su Jie was not in a hurry to agree, because with the Spirit Vein beneath Ghost Ridge Palace transformed into a Dragon Vein, although there was no enlightenment, the vast spiritual power would be a period of rapid growth for Su Jie's strength in the coming years. Managing the sect would certainly consume his energy. Anyway, the position of Sect Master would be his sooner or later; he wasn't rushing for it now.
"The position of Sect Master belongs to you; everyone in Ghost Ridge Palace is convinced by you."
Zhang Junwei once again persuaded, seeing Su Jie's expression wasn't fake, felt somewhat puzzled.
In the competition of the Demon Path, it's very brutal, like a pride of lions; if an old lion king is weak and aging, then a strong male lion would definitely challenge and seize the position of lion king.
In the Demon Sect, it often follows this path, and Zhang Junwei knew his strength was already far inferior to Su Jie, so proactively stepping down to let the capable lead was the best way, but he didn't expect Su Jie was unwilling.
"Sect Master, please don't persuade further, give it three years. After three years, I will take the position of Sect Master. For now, I ask you to continue managing Ghost Ridge Palace for a while."
Su Jie shook his head, refusing, as he planned to return to Blue Star for a while. Especially for building wonders and so on, it required his personal involvement. If he accepted the position of Ghost Ridge Palace Sect Master, it would certainly consume a lot of his time and energy at the start.
Zhang Junwei persuaded a few more times, seeing Su Jie's firm attitude, could only nod and agree, "Fine, let's set a three-year agreement first."
"Thank you for your understanding, Sect Master. After three years, I will certainly develop and strengthen Ghost Ridge Palace."
Su Jie cupped his fists, with the position of Ghost Ridge Palace Sect Master almost in hand, Su Jie also needed to prepare and return to Blue Star once.
"Thank you for your understanding, Sect Master. After three years, I will certainly develop and strengthen Ghost Ridge Palace."
Su Jie cupped his fists, with the position of Ghost Ridge Palace Sect Master almost in hand, Su Jie also needed to prepare and return to Blue Star once.
Su Jie never forgot, his roots are on Blue Star.
