Chapter 155 - A Dangerous Situation (1/2)
Once Yuan took a seat, Elder Xuan continued to speak, ”Because of your performance at the Carp Leaping Over Dragon's Gate Tower, it has caught the attention of many, and experts from the other elite sects are currently approaching the Dragon Essence Sect even as we speak.”
”Is that so…” Yuan mumbled in a calm voice, clearly still unable to grasp the situation at hand.
Elder Xuan shook his head and sighed, ”I know you probably don't understand the dangerous situation you're in right now, so I'll explain it to you again.”
”Do you remember what we told you about remaining lowkey until the Mystic Realm? If you're too talented, people will become jealous, and they will do everything in their power to destroy you so that you won't become a threat in the future. However, at the Mystic Realm, if you can attract the attention of the people managing the event, they will be able to protect you, and you might even be able to ascend to the next realm— Spirit Heavens!”
”This place we are currently in is called the Lower Heavens, and the next realm is called Spirit Heavens, where Cultivators above Spirit Grandmaster exists.” Elder Xuan said.
”Anyway, that isn't important right now. What's important is your safety, Disciple Yuan. The other sects will definitely pressure us into revealing your identity, but you can rest assured that we won't give your name to them even if we have to fight.”
”I'm sorry, Senior Xuan, I didn't think that I would cause such a commotion by participating in the trial, as I was only trying to experience the sect like a normal disciple,” Yuan sighed afterward.
Elder Xuan immediately became speechless. Indeed, it wasn't Yuan's fault for going to the tower, as every disciple will eventually challenge it at least once. And nobody could've predicted that Yuan would clear all 100 floors, nor could they have predicted that the tower would react in such a manner when someone cleared the 100th floor, as it has never happened before.
”You don't need to blame yourself for this, Disciple Yuan. We want you to continue to experience life as a normal disciple even after this, but you should avoid things in the sect that has a ranking.” Elder Xuan said.
”As for the other elite sects… they will only pressure us, and I doubt there will really be any fighting because our Dragon Essence Temple isn't weak, and the others know of this. They won't risk going to war with us over a single disciple, especially if they don't know your identity.”
”If the sect is really in trouble because of me, I will do something about it myself,” Yuan suddenly said.
”Huh? What do you mean by…” Elder Xuan's eyes suddenly widened as he'd just realized the aura coming from Yuan.
”Second level Spirit Warrior?! But you should have consumed the Pill of Concealment! Does this mean you're actually at the peak level now?! Ninth level Spirit Warrior?!” Elder Xuan exclaimed in a shocked voice, as he could've never imagined that Yuan would increase his cultivation level by four whole levels in a single day.
”Is this the result of clearing all 100 floors in the tower?” Elder Xuan couldn't help but ask.
Yuan nodded and said, ”I think so.”
