Chapter 550 - 230: I’ve Wronged You! How Strong is Sect Leader Senior Brother?_6
"A cultivator should consider leaving the sect as a starting point. If you’re really leaving the sect to venture outside alone, then it’s essential to have cultivated combat techniques, as once you leave the sect, you won’t have its support anymore, and many things you’ll have to rely on yourself."
"So..."
"So is it time for Senior Sister Shanlan’s battle?" Song the Beautiful was very curious.
Yuchi looked at the woman’s long eyelashes, noticing the reflection of the Luminous Pearl in her eyes, then said, "Shanlan hasn’t decided when to fight yet. Right now, the month-long competition is already eight days in, and there are twenty-two days left. When she decides to fight is entirely up to her, so there’s no need to rush."
"Hmm... So how is her cultivation level?"
After Song the Beautiful asked, her gaze held a touch of nervousness and some anticipation as she looked at Yuchi.
Her thoughts were actually quite simple. The previous competition had already proven her judgment, which is that among the Ascension Gate, aside from Huo Shanlan, the other senior sisters don’t have strong strengths; they are definitely not a match for Huo Shanlan. And when she first arrived at the sect competition, she was at the Core Formation Stage Third Layer.
Later, after developing a relationship with Yuchi, she advanced to the Core Formation Stage Fourth Layer. So, is her cultivation at the Core Formation Stage Fourth Layer the strongest among Ascension Gate disciples?
She very much wants to be the strongest, not because being the strongest allows her to bully her senior sisters, making her seem extremely powerful. The main reason is to make Yuchi care more about her. After all, Song the Beautiful isn’t a fool; she still has some sense of crisis, especially with Huo Yuluo, always feeling that Huo Yuluo might really have that intention...
She might not be able to compete.
Yuchi understood, noticing Song the Beautiful’s little schemes. He couldn’t help but laugh as he said, "Yinghan, to be honest, Shanlan is currently at the Golden Core Stage Fourth Layer."
Song the Beautiful: "?"
Golden Core Stage Fourth Layer?!
Song the Beautiful was instantly somewhat dizzy, shocked by this sudden impact, suddenly feeling completely powerless.
My goodness, this is a Golden Core Stage Fourth Layer existence, then comparing to the Mortal Realm Ninth Layer, Qi Cultivation Realm Thirteenth Layer, Foundation Establishment Stage Ninth Layer, Core Formation Stage Thirteen Layer... So her own Core Formation Stage Fourth Layer, it’s a full thirteen minor realms away just by numbers!
Thirteen layers! A full thirteen layers of minor realms, what an exaggerated number it is, not to mention the Core Formation Stage; even talking about the Foundation Establishment Stage Ninth Layer, countless cultivators are stuck there, not to mention how increasingly difficult it is to break through Core Formation Stage levels!
If it hadn’t been for Yuchi’s help, she probably would have stayed at the Core Formation Stage Third Layer for many years, finding it more and more difficult with each advancement. To break through to Core Formation Stage Thirteen Layer... Even Song the Beautiful herself feels it’s impossible; reaching Core Formation Stage Thirteen Layer in this lifetime would already be quite remarkable!
But the result!
But the result is Shanlan is a Golden Core Stage Fourth Layer existence, what a surprise!
"Pretend I didn’t ask; Senior Sister Shanlan is indeed terrifying," Song the Beautiful said, half crying, half laughing.
Similarly, it also reminded her of her father, who is a Golden Core Stage First Layer existence, already quite invincible. As long as he doesn’t make a move, he can walk sideways in Canglan City. That’s how he could storm into Xufu Town, intending to take Yuchi’s entire family away.
In the end, he really didn’t make a move this time; otherwise, even just Shanlan alone could counter it effortlessly!
The difference in each layer of the Golden Core Stage is quite terrifying; if one is not a salted fish, then Golden Core Stage First Layer absolutely couldn’t beat Golden Core Stage Second Layer! It’s absolutely not possible!
Crossing such a Golden Core Stage level is impossible, unless the opponent is very incompetent! Otherwise, they merely need to exhibit Protective Spiritual Qi, and can’t even break through the Protective Spiritual Qi, how can one talk about winning? So it’s still the old saying, just don’t be too weak, make sure to know some combat techniques, and then there’s no possibility of being surpassed directly by others.
Yuchi: Should I leave?
"My old man, this old guy barely survived the ghost gate, yet knew nothing about it, smugly residing in the viewing platform, believing this is the benefit of cultivation, as if people would dare not listen when he speaks!"
"But the result is that because I get along well with this villain, others would back down a step."
"Otherwise grass would already be growing on the grave by now."
Thus, naturally.
Song the Beautiful looked at Yuchi smiling broadly, watching Yuchi squinting as he drank tea, finally couldn’t resist, her eyes filled with intoxicating blush, full of anticipation, asked, "Sect Leader Senior Brother, what’s your current cultivation level!"
Being able to accept a disciple at Golden Core Stage Fourth Layer, then how strong must Yuchi himself be!? This must be incredibly terrifying!
Yuchi picked a grape into his mouth.
He had already anticipated Song the Beautiful’s response.
"Myself, I’m merely a Core Formation Stage cultivator, only slightly stronger than you, Yinghan."
"I don’t believe it!"
There you see, just like I said, Yuchi smiled wryly, looking at the focused Song the Beautiful: "How about this, you think I’m how strong, and I’ll be that strong, my power is entirely up to your imagination."
Yuchi himself has always been like this from the start; from mysteriously receiving Shanlan the young lady, it was anticipated, his strength is a fluctuating number.
In Xufu Town, he was a mortal.
In the eyes of the previous chatting sect leaders, he was roughly at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Yet, in Huo Shanlan the young lady’s eyes, he is invincible, a rejuvenated existence.
"Inured to this..."
Not talking about this anymore, Yuchi is genuinely curious about the Golden Core Stage’s cultivation level, not knowing what performances Shanlan will exhibit; if Shanlan wins the competition, she will directly influence Ascension Gate’s ranking in the first competition. If truly lucky, winning three matches in a row, Ascension Gate’s ranking might suddenly soar significantly.
Core Formation Stage cultivators can already become sect leaders, so disciples are generally at Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment; indeed, Core Formation Stage disciples are rare.
Not to mention Golden Core Stage.
Perhaps even sects like the Purple Gold Sect don’t have many Golden Core Stage disciples!
