Looking at Nezha and Yang Jian, who were constantly trying to persuade him, Shen Gongbao felt a sense of emotion.
Although he had only met these juniors a few times and they hadn't treated him well before, they hadn't been too deeply influenced by the Chan Sect and still knew to care about his situation.
On the contrary, those senior brothers and sisters who should have been closest to him treated him, his junior brother, like a thief, which was inexplicably disheartening.
Shen Gongbao sighed softly and slowly took out a crystal-clear feather from his sleeve. It was the white crane's natal item, containing a wisp of his aura and spiritual power. Shen Gongbao handed it to Nezha, who was standing to the side.
"This is the natal feather of Junior Sister Baihe. I'll trouble you two to give it to her. As for True Monarch Qingxu, you don't need to worry about it."
"but……"
Looking at the feather in his hand, Nezha wanted to persuade him further, but Shen Gongbao stopped him:
“The rules of the Chan Sect came first, and Qingxu Daode Zhenjun violated them later. I don’t believe the Heavenly Venerable will punish me for this. Moreover, after the battle just now, I have gained some understanding of our Chan Sect’s doctrines. I don’t have time to deal with Qingxu Daode Zhenjun now.”
Having said that, Shen Gongbao said no more, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and concentrated, and began to carefully refine his internal cultivation.
The twelve consecutive infusions of cultivation power, like trickles of water converging into a river, were more than enough to allow Shen Gongbao's cultivation to surpass the shackles of the mid-stage Xuanxian realm and step into a completely new realm.
For him, the most important thing at this moment is to strike while the iron is hot and completely break through to the late stage of Xuanxian.
Watching Shen Gongbao suddenly enter a meditative state, his cultivation level rising steadily, and then breaking through to the late stage of the Xuanxian realm in just a quarter of an hour, Nezha and Yang Jian exchanged a glance, both filled with disbelief.
"Uncle Shen, it's truly astonishing that you've made such a breakthrough so easily!"
"It seems that Uncle Shen's talent is much higher than we imagined. He was able to defeat Qingxu Daode Zhenjun when he was in the mid-stage of Xuanxian. Now that his cultivation has broken through again, I estimate that with his strength, he is not even the last among the Twelve Golden Immortals!"
Throughout their master's introduction of them, Shen Gongbao had always been the least impressive of the second-generation disciples of the Chan Sect.
Every time it's mentioned, it's with extreme denigration.
But now that they had truly witnessed Shen Gongbao's strength, Nezha and his companion discovered that their Uncle Shen was not as bad as their master had told them.
...
Inside the Jade Void Palace
With a wave of his sleeve, the image in front of everyone disappeared, but the people's hearts were still unsettled for a long time.
Shen Gongbao's cultivation level actually broke through again.
In addition, there was the breakthrough he made when he came out of the Frozen Prison.
In just half a month, he broke through from the early stage of the Xuanxian realm to the late stage of the Xuanxian realm.
Such a leap in cultivation level was enough to make even the most outstanding individuals present secretly marvel at how insane it was.
At this moment, Master Yuding stepped forward, his expression solemn, and his words earnest:
"Master, if Shen Gongbao's cultivation level is truly due to his comprehension of my Chan Sect's doctrines..."
The Primordial Celestial Venerable reached out to stop Jade Cauldron Immortal from continuing.
He understood what Master Yuding meant.
But he felt no goodwill towards Shen Gongbao. The faster Shen Gongbao's cultivation improved, the more it seemed to be slapping him, a saint of heaven and earth, in the face.
He began to deduce the secrets of heaven, but still gained nothing; this was not the first time this had happened.
What made Yuanshi Tianzun even more uncomfortable was that in recent days, he had vaguely sensed a decrease in the favor that this world bestowed upon their Chan Sect. Yuanshi Tianzun was perfectly clear about what this situation meant.
"According to previous calculations, although our Chan Sect is also included in this Investiture of the Gods calamity, does that mean that as long as we control the Investiture of the Gods list, we can minimize the impact of the Investiture of the Gods calamity on our Chan Sect? Why do I feel a huge crisis for the Chan Sect now?"
The Primordial Celestial Venerable turned his gaze to the southeast:
"Could it be that my junior brother did something unexpected, causing the crisis of the Investiture of the Gods to return to our Chan Sect?"
Just as Yuanshi Tianzun was pondering the possible reasons for this change and its significance, the wounded Qingxu Daode Zhenjun appeared quickly in the Yuxu Palace and cried out loudly to him:
"Master, that beast Shen Gongbao not only destroyed my Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, but also dared to lay a hand on me! You must do justice for me!"
A hint of displeasure flashed in Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes.
He truly disliked Shen Gongbao, a creature with fur and horns. Had he not mistakenly believed that Shen Gongbao was destined to be a god, he would not have taken Shen Gongbao under his wing.
Later, out of consideration for the reputation of the Chan Sect, Shen Gongbao was not expelled from the Jade Void Palace.
But you, a dignified Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, the true face of the entire Chan Sect, can't even defeat Shen Gongbao, a newcomer. Do you have any face to lose?
This is not only a slap in your own face, but also a slap in the face of your master, me!
The voice of the Primordial Celestial Venerable was as cold as frost, penetrating every inch of the hall, carrying an undeniable majesty:
"A second-generation disciple of the Chan Sect, you've actually learned to fight among your own disciples? You're all doing very well. Your senior brother has already gone to take care of Shen Gongbao. As for you, you'll just kneel here for now!"
Shen Gongbao slowly gathered the surging spiritual power around him. During this seclusion, he not only successfully entered the late stage of the Profound Immortal realm, but also, under the influence of this powerful cultivation, he tempered the foundation of his newly advanced cultivation to be as solid as a rock, without the slightest sense of superficiality.
Shen Gongbao slowly opened his eyes, his gaze reflecting the composure and confidence that came with his newfound understanding.
However, upon seeing the person before him, Shen Gongbao's joy at his breakthrough in cultivation vanished instantly, and he said calmly:
