"laugh--"
"boom--"
As Lei Wuxin clenched and unclenched his fist, the thunderbolt that attempted to break through the teleportation portal and strike Zhenru was abruptly silenced.
The portal, which was already half-closed, closed completely.
Those inside the portal felt a wave of dizziness and then could no longer hear any sounds from the ground.
Amidst the dizziness and the fluctuations of weightlessness and gravitational pull, Zhenru only had time to think about whether Liu Yunzhao's commotion would be obliterated by the thunder. The slowly appearing light of day drew her attention away from the moment it arrived.
Solid Spirit Realm.
This is the first external realm that Zhenru has ever heard of, and will see, apart from the Sun Realm. It would be a lie to say he is not excited and looking forward to it.
When her eyes could sense a glimmer of light, Zhenru had already focused her mind and concentrated on looking ahead.
As soon as her feet touched the ground, Zhenru's gaze swept around her surroundings.
This reaction wasn't just from one person; the other five people reacted in the same way. Even Lei Wuxin, who was usually carefree, had a flicker of emotion in his eyes.
However, despite all the commotion, nothing was seen.
Upon landing, the group found themselves in an empty hall surrounded by various teleportation portals.
Clearly, this place serves the same purpose as the flat ground they left when they departed from the ancient secret realm.
"This is a teleportation hall that exists in every realm."
Perhaps sensing the disappointment in their eyes, Qin Yue took the initiative to explain, then pointed to the row of teleportation portals around the hall and said:
"Look, through those portals, you can be quickly teleported to other realms."
If she really became interested, her gaze swept over the name on the teleportation portal, and she looked at Qin Yue with bright eyes, saying:
"So, we can also use these portals to travel to other realms for training?"
Qin Yue was taken aback for a moment, then nodded with a bright smile:
"Naturally, one can freely travel to other realms, but not through these teleportation gates, but through guest teleportation arrays."
After saying that, Qin Yue pointed to the teleportation portal in the hall and explained:
"These teleportation portals are very fast, so each activation consumes a huge amount of energy. They are usually only used when major events occur in the realm. Private people don't use them for regular travel."
Once he understood, he stopped talking about the topic and wasn't disappointed. He followed Qin Yue out of the teleportation hall.
Upon reaching the entrance of the teleportation hall, the group was about to part ways.
The other seven members of the sects in the Solid Spirit Realm bid farewell to Qin Yue and his companions, and then said goodbye to each other.
Some of the more sociable ones took the initiative to bid farewell to Zhenru and the other six, and politely invited them to visit the sect.
The six men politely returned the greeting, saying they would definitely.
There were also those who, for some reason, looked down on Zhenru and the others, and as they turned and walked away, they deliberately muttered in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft:
"Let's go. They've climbed up to the Qingxuan Dao Sect, they wouldn't even look at our little sects."
These words immediately created an awkward atmosphere.
The person who greeted Zhenru and the others, as well as Qin Yue and the other two, felt awkward.
People on this side felt embarrassed and angry.
Feng Piaopiao, who was always the most impatient, was about to speak when Zhuo Ying pulled her back, and then they both turned their gaze to Zhenru's face.
When that person said this, he seemed very casual and relaxed, and he didn't say it in front of Zhenru and the others, so Zhenru had no chance to retort.
Going after someone to argue back not only makes you seem petty, but it also makes the situation even more awkward.
But allowing the other party to make such frivolous jokes would make them, the cultivators of the Sun Realm, seem too cowardly.
So it's really hard to say that.
Zhenru didn't let the awkwardness linger for more than a moment. As Zhuo Ying stopped Feng Piaopiao, she turned to Qin Yue and said with a smile:
"The Qingxuan Dao Sect is indeed awe-inspiring. I have never seen such a universally recognized leader of a sect."
Cultivators are ranked in different classes, and so are sects. Naturally, there are best and worst sects, but for the sake of balance and dignity, the cultivation world does not rank sects as first or second. Instead, it divides them into first-rate and second-rate sects.
Although each top-tier sect has its own opinion on the relative strengths and weaknesses of its members, the disciples of these sects are fiercely competitive and unwilling to submit to one another.
Both are top-tier sects, and none of them would willingly settle for second place.
When Zhenru said this, it sounded like he was praising the Qingxuan Dao Sect, but in reality, he was taking the opportunity to criticize the person from before, implying that his own sect was inferior to the Qingxuan Dao Sect.
Oh, and he also brought along the person who said goodbye to Zhenru and the others.
Zhenru's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, infused with a little spiritual power, just enough for everyone to hear.
The man's back stiffened, and he turned to make a move.
Qin Yue reacted quickly and took the initiative, unleashing his full power to immobilize the man for a moment.
"What is Junior Brother Xu doing?"
"Fellow Daoist Zhenru is an honored guest of my Qingxuan Dao Sect. Junior Brother Xu, are you planning to attack our sect's honored guest?"
It must be said that although that person was indignant at Zhenru's belittling and instigation, Zhenru was not wrong; Qingxuan Dao Sect was indeed the number one sect in the Solid Spirit Realm.
Under the pressure of Qin Yue's aura, the man's mind cleared up and his aura weakened. However, if he were to give up now, it would be too disgraceful for the sect's reputation.
The situation was no longer awkward, but it was a stalemate that was even more unbearable than an awkward one.
That's why she's truly beautiful inside and out.
Just as Qin Yue and Master Xu were facing off, a strong shockwave came, causing everyone to turn around and look.
While most people were still confused, someone suddenly shouted:
"Holy crap! Is this about to advance to the next level?!"
Once everyone found the source of the "fluctuation," they saw that Zhenru's aura fluctuated so intensely that it overturned everyone around her, and she was struggling to suppress it.
After a long while, Zhenru barely managed to suppress her restlessness and looked apologetically at Qin Yue, saying:
"It's probably because Fellow Daoist Qin's energy was agitated and he couldn't suppress it for a moment. Is there any convenient place nearby?"
Qin Yue, disregarding the matter of causing trouble for the cultivator surnamed Xu, hurriedly nodded and said:
"Fellow Daoist Zhenru, don't be in a hurry. The Qingxuan Dao Sect has a base nearby. Please follow me."
After Qin Yue finished speaking, he released a flying boat, which carried his people away without stopping.
There was no reason to be anxious. The brief incident had made Qin Yue forget that it was perfectly normal for this group of people to advance in their cultivation after just undergoing the baptism of the Ascension Tower and leaving the secret realm.
Zhenru is just the first person who couldn't suppress his advancement; others will soon follow suit.
If it were just the three people from the Qingxuan Dao Sect, it wouldn't be so bad, as it's impossible for them to advance at the same time. But now that there are six more people, Qin Yue isn't sure how many people will advance.
As the flying boat headed towards the nearest location of the Qingxuan Dao Sect, Qin Yue took the opportunity to send a message to the sect.
Sure enough, as soon as the group landed, some of the other eight people began to get restless due to the aura of Zhenru's advancement.
Fortunately, the person in charge of the base had already received a notice from the sect and arranged several places for advancement in advance.
Zhenru glanced at the distance to each advancement point, thought for a moment, and said to Qin Yue:
"I'd like to trouble Fellow Daoist Qin to make arrangements for my friend. I'll go out and find a place to advance my cultivation level on my own."
