The question raised by Qi Hong was also a doubt in Yan Ru’s mind.
Since the Earth Ranking began half a year ago, virtually all the disciples of the Inner Peak had gone to the Combat Platform.
After all, this new policy stipulated that all disciples needed to participate in at least three Combat Platform matches within a year. This was just a requirement for the number of times. No one would be foolish enough to disobey such a basic requirement.
Chu Jinmo just smiled and shook his head, “The time is not yet ripe, let’s talk about it later.”
Qi Hong didn’t ask further. She knew Chu Jinmo’s personality – although he seemed easygoing, once he set his mind on something, he would be unwavering and would not change it easily.
“By the way, has Junior Brother Han come out of closed-door training yet?” Seeing that no one had anything to say for a moment, Qi Hong continued. “Junior Brother Han is really a hardworking cultivator. In the blink of an eye, he has been in closed-door training for half a year. I wonder if he has gained anything. I guess when he comes out, he’ll be shocked by the current prosperity of the sect.”
Luo Yunzhou glanced at her and answered,
“He should not have come out yet. I went to his courtyard to find him the other day. The formation was activated in the courtyard, and there was a sign hanging at the front door indicating it wasn’t good to disturb him, so I just left a message at the door.”
“However, Junior Brother Han wouldn’t be surprised when he comes out. He’s very steady.”
“What’s the use of being steady?” Qi Hong smiled. “There is only one person in the top 100 of the Earth Ranking who is at the Qi Cultivation Stage 7, and that is achieved through using a top-notch high-grade magical instrument, barely ranking at 99th place.”
“If he is only steady with his cultivation still at the seventh stage, then it’s of no use.”
Qi Hong sighed emotionally. In her tone, there was no intention to belittle Han Yi, as everyone present was also at the Qi Cultivation Stage 7. This was a sense of helplessness in the face of reality.
Chu Jinmo and Luo Yunzhou looked at Qi Hong simultaneously with a strange expression in their eyes. They didn’t say anything, but their gazes made Qi Hong feel puzzled.
“What? Am I wrong?”
“Qi Cultivation Stage 7 is indeed difficult to break into the top 100.”
Luo Yunzhou showed a look of reminiscence, as if recalling an astonishing scene, and drained his jade cup of Spirit Wine: “Indeed, Qi Cultivation Stage 7 is just too weak.”
After that, he changed the topic.
“I heard that Senior Brother You Wu’s Qi Cultivation Realm has already reached the Legendary Realm. In three years, he will complete the Immortal Path Foundation Building. I am envious.”
When they mentioned You Wu, the faces of the other three people changed, even Chu Jinmo showed a complex expression.
“More than three months ago, Senior Brother You Wu defeated more than twenty Qi Cultivation Stage 9 cultivators in just two days, including several peak Stage 9 cultivators. He truly astonished the whole sect.”
“And more than three months later, which is today, he is about to take another step forward, approaching the Immortal Path Foundation Building.”
“How can we not be envious?”
Qi Hong’s eyes were filled with awe, envy, and admiration.
“I heard that even the sect master personally summoned him. That’s the pride of an immortal.”
“Don’t they have the title of Blood God’s child in the Blood God Sect? I heard from some senior brothers that they are also preparing to give Senior Brother You Wu a title. It’s just not yet decided.”
“A title? Mysterious God’s Son?” Luo Yunzhou suddenly exclaimed.
“Mysterious God’s Son? What’s that?”
Suddenly, a voice came leisurely, and with the appearance of this voice, a young man dressed in a dark blue robe walked slowly towards them.
Everyone turned to look and stood up.
“Junior Brother Han.” Yan Ru greeted.
“Junior Brother Han, you’re finally willing to come out. I missed you so much.” Luo Yunzhou looked like he hated not being able to rush up and hug Han Yi.
“You’re here.” Chu Jinmo said softly, smiling, his voice still ethereal.
As for Qi Hong, who had a rather ordinary relationship with Han Yi, she simply nodded her head in greeting without speaking.
The person who came was naturally Han Yi.
After taking the Blood Bone Spirit Flower, he didn’t immediately leave seclusion, but continued in isolation for half a year. Only after completely understanding and digesting his gains did he leave seclusion at a leisurely pace.
As soon as he came out, he noticed the message left by Luo Yunzhou at the entrance of his courtyard and hurried over.
Everyone took their seats, but thankfully the jade-colored table was large enough that adding a chair did not make it overly crowded.
“Senior Brother Luo, what exactly is the Mysterious God’s Son you mentioned earlier?”
Luo Yunzhou explained with a smile, and added at the end: “I randomly made a name based on the Blood God Sect’s naming convention. Don’t take it too seriously, Junior Brother Han.”
“You Wu is really incredible.”
Han Yi sighed but felt no envy in his heart.
Everyone’s character and situation were different, leading to different ways of handling affairs.
You Wu dared to step forward and claim a title almost as strong as the strongest Qi Cultivation Stage disciple of the Xuandan Sect, which undoubtedly proved that he was fearless.
But Han Yi was different, being cautious ever since he crossed over.
Next.
The group discussed You Wu’s situation, and Han Yi came to know that this legendary senior brother actually possessed the relatively rare Heavenly Spirit Root, and it was even a Fire Spirit Root type.
Han Yi also had a Fire Spirit Root, but his was a false one. In addition to the Fire Spirit Root, he had three other types of Spirit Roots: Gold, Wood, and Earth Spirit Roots. These three Spirit Roots, however, only dragged him down without any positive effects, making his root bones seem extremely ordinary. But You Wu was different; he was born with only one Spirit Root, the Fire Spirit Root. This situation was called Heavenly Spirit Root, which made his Fire Spirit Root very pure, greatly surpassing others in terms of cultivation speed and the power of techniques.
“By the way, Senior Brother Luo, Senior Sister Yan, and Senior Sister Qi, what happened when you went to the Evil Mountain Range?”
When Han Yi went into seclusion, the trio headed to the Evil Mountain Range as he was still digesting the Blood Bone Spirit Flower.
Luo Yunzhou sighed, “Don’t mention it, it was really bad luck. Look at this scar on my face, it’s from that time. I keep it as a reminder, damn it.”
Yan Ru’s eyes flashed with killing intent, “The cultivators of the Blood God Sect are indeed stronger than us, but this gap is no longer insurmountable. As long as we use the right methods, we can also defeat them.”
Han Yi listened with great interest as the two took turns recounting past events.
A moment later.
He suddenly thought of another matter, “By the way, have all of you been on the Combat Platform? The new policy requires everyone to be there at least three times a year, and this is a strict rule.”
“I’ve been on it, but the competition for the top 100 on the Earth Ranking is extremely fierce. I’m now ranked 332nd, which is quite disappointing.” Speaking of this, Luo Yunzhou felt a little discouraged. He considered himself a genius, but he was not considered outstanding among the Inner Peak disciples. After chatting, Han Yi learned that besides Chu Jinmo, everyone else frequently appeared on the Combat Platform.
Yan Ru, who advanced to the 7th level of Qi Cultivation later, was ranked 273rd, stronger than Luo Yunzhou.
Qi Hong, on the other hand, was in the 600s. Among Inner Peak disciples, she was considered to have relatively average combat power.
“Junior Brother Han, once you’re on the Combat Platform, you’ll realize how difficult it is to win a single match.”
“First, you should try to make it into the top 900. According to our estimates, if you’re ranked lower than 900th, there’s a risk of being expelled from the Inner Peak and sent to the outer peak.”
Even the arrogant Qi Hong appeared somewhat disheartened when talking about the Earth Ranking.
Upon hearing this.
Han Yi did not react, only drinking his wine. Chu Jinmo and Luo Yunzhou, however, looked at her again with strange expressions, making her feel like she had said something wrong.
“What? Did I say something wrong again?”
Qi Hong frowned, feeling that something was off. Whenever she mentioned Han Yi, Chu Jinmo and Luo Yunzhou would look at her with a strange gaze.
She glanced at Han Yi again and didn’t think she had said anything wrong. Could there be some hidden information in this?
