Chapter 677 - 230 Uncle, When Will You Take Me to Find Daddy (6k)

Facing Li Daoxuan’s inquiry, He Han said, "Isn’t it said that the Peng Emperor of Great Demon Mountain fell here? Everyone came to seek fortune."

"But just a year ago, someone dug out a fragment of a semi-pureblood Suanni Bone down there. Instantly, countless people swarmed over."

"Everyone speculates that perhaps after the fall of the Peng Emperor, his storage bags scattered, losing countless treasures here."

"But now there’s news from the Vast Mansion claiming that the Peng Emperor hasn’t fallen, and this place is the site where a Suanni Demon Emperor met a tragic end. So we’ve come here to try our luck, too."

He Han’s eyes were filled with anticipation and excitement as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiaohu subconsciously looked at Zhou Qing.

After all, after they had ambushed and killed the Peng Emperor, they returned to the Taiqing Sect, and the fourth brother confessed everything to their master.

This included how Lu Yaoyao had advanced two minor stages at once, the Array Master’s inheritance, and the Suanni Bone.

Zhou Qing also looked at the excited He Han and couldn’t help but touch his nose.

This is bullshit!

The Peng Emperor’s storage bag was snatched by Xuanyuan Shuo before the Peng Emperor even died.

As for the Suanni Bone, it was likely just a small fragment that survived when it self-destructed, the rest having turned to dust long ago.

Back then, the Suanni cast a Blood Curse on itself to prevent its remains from being refined into a magical treasure or its essence blood from being extracted by Master Xuanqing after its death.

But on second thought, it’s probably for the best.

As one of the five giants in the Eastern Domain, if no one showed up, it would raise suspicions that they had already taken the good stuff.

Unexpectedly, He Han’s following words made everyone’s expressions change markedly.

"But eight months ago, someone found two fragments of top-grade Thunder Spirit Stones down below; Thunder Spirit Stones are incredibly rare."

"After a while, including myself, heard an unknown beast’s roar coming from the abyss below. The sound made it seem like my whole body was about to freeze."

"Five months ago, several people saw an entrance to a Secret Realm appear down below, but it quickly vanished."

Hearing He Han’s words, the three again looked at Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing frowned deeply.

What’s going on? The situation doesn’t seem quite right.

Could it be that something was hidden beneath the former Spirit Skull Mountain, and the Suanni and Peng Emperor’s self-destruction accidentally opened it?

It’s not impossible.

After all, there seem to be many big secrets buried in the Eastern Domain yet to be discovered.

"Let’s go, let’s go inside and rest first!" Seeing the group’s silence, He Han, full of smiles, enthusiastically led everyone towards the camp tent.

...

Upon learning that the Little Sister had reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, He Han was ecstatic.

Learning that the First Brother was about to break into the Divinity Transformation Realm, He Han was even more thrilled.

Upon learning that Zhou Qing had already achieved Divinity Transformation, He Han was absolutely stupefied, staring at Zhou Qing in disbelief, unable to speak for a long time.

But seeing the serious faces of the group, without a hint of joking, He Han dumbly looked at Zhou Qing, his throat dry, and couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

After a long while, he stammered, "Zhou...Brother Zhou, you...you really have achieved Divinity Transformation?"

Zhou Qing’s expression was calm, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and he nodded slowly.

Returning wealthy without flaunting it is like wearing brocade garments but walking in the dark.

Upon seeing Zhou Qing’s confirmation, He Han felt his head buzz, completely blanking out.

He never imagined that among the young generation of the Taiqing Sect, after Ghost Mastiff and Luo Lingling, Junior Brother Zhou Qing would be the third to step into the Divinity Transformation Realm.

That’s just unbelievable!

Wasn’t he at mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm last time with Yan Xiaohu?

In just a few years, where did the late Nascent Soul Realm and Great Perfection transition phases go?

Did you eat them?

Even more, the comprehension of realms, which acts as a chasm for countless cultivators— this, this...

For a moment, He Han felt a mix of emotions in his heart.

When Zhou Qing was sneaking to peek at female disciples bathing with the Third Brother Yan Xiaohu, he was still at the late-stage Nascent Soul Realm.

When Zhou Qing’s Golden Core shattered, yet he never gave up, he was still at the late-stage Nascent Soul Realm.

When Zhou Qing slaughtered his enemies, beheading the five prodigies of the Cangyan Daoist Palace, he remained at the late-stage Nascent Soul Realm.

And now, Zhou Qing, returning from his studies abroad, had become someone envied by countless others in the Divinity Transformation Realm, while He Han was still stagnating in the same place.

Seeing He Han’s sense of loss and shame, Yan Xiaohu stepped forward, gently patted his shoulder, and sighed.

"Senior Brother He Han, I completely understand your feelings right now. Remember, among the four core disciples of Little Spirit Peak, the fourth brother is behind me," said Yan Xiaohu.

Hearing this, He Han looked at Yan Xiaohu, finally feeling a bit more balanced and better.

That’s right, your junior brother has achieved Divinity Transformation; the one under the most pressure and feeling the most embarrassment should be you.

Yan Xiaohu continued, "So, we shouldn’t underestimate ourselves. Let’s work hard together. When you were at the late-stage Nascent Soul Realm, I was still at the Great Perfection of Golden Core. Now you’re still at the late-stage Nascent Soul Realm, but I’m already mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm."

"I’m just a step away from catching up with you. We, the struggling brothers, must support each other. You can’t leave me behind and progress on your own."

"You get lost!" He Han got anxious immediately.

He didn’t even realize that Junior Brother Yan had reached mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm.

Oh my god, what is this White Jade Taixu Courtyard place, I want to go there too.

Watching the two bicker, everyone burst into laughter, a feeling of ease they hadn’t felt for a long time.

Li Daoxuan quickly reassured, saying that every step after reaching Nascent Soul Realm is extremely difficult, so they shouldn’t rush.
