Chapter 66 Preparing for a Breakthrough
Chapter 66 Preparing for a Breakthrough
Qiao Bendu released his divine sense again, quietly reminding him: "The person secretly targeting Wang Yan should be Zhong Jinghuo. He targeted Wang Yan before because you stole his opportunity. But now that Wang Yan has entered the inner sect ahead of schedule and he has become the Third Elder's disciple, he probably won't target you two anymore. Unless absolutely necessary, you shouldn't target him either."
"Of course, if he still doesn't know what's good for him, as long as we're in the right, you don't need to be afraid of him."
Di Nan's eyes rarely showed contempt: "As long as he doesn't provoke me, I won't provoke him."
After a pause, Di Nan smiled again, amused: "Zhao Mingtong probably knows about Wang Yan's entry into the inner sect. I'm afraid he's going to suffer another blow."
Qiao Bentu casually said, "It's alright. He opened his sea of consciousness very late and has already suffered several years of setbacks. This is just another one of them. He can accept it."
At the same time, Zhao Mingtong and Zhong Jinghuo were having dinner facing each other in the outer canteen when they suddenly heard people talking enviously.
"Did you know? Wang Yan just left the Temple of Learning this afternoon and was taken to the Temple of Divine Inscriptions by Steward Qiu. I heard he was temporarily reassigned by the Temple of Divine Inscriptions and won't be coming back to the outer sect to do menial tasks for a while!"
"Ah, you've heard about it too? I'm really envious of Wang Yan now. Although his sea of consciousness is quite ordinary, it has generated a rare flower of literary talent. Now that he's been specially recruited by the Divine Script Hall, they must want him to come up with more new combinations of the character 'divine'!"
"But the Divine Script Hall has no need to recall him unless something major happens. This afternoon, I also saw Di Nan, Jin He, Liu Bing, and those other nominal disciples being hurriedly called away by the inner disciples."
Zhao Mingtong's brows furrowed slightly, and his long face quickly darkened.
He was unaware that Wang Yan had been temporarily transferred by the Divine Script Hall.
Di Nan, Jin He, and Liu Bing were all disciples who had been recognized by the inner sect leaders for nearly a month, but unexpectedly they were all called away today.
"Why didn't Grandpa tell me about this?"
Those Lingya disciples who knew about this matter all had elders whose status in their families was not as high as his grandfather's. Why did they know about this matter, but he did not?
That's so embarrassing!
At this moment, Zhong Jinghuo narrowed his eyes, glanced at the group of spiritual sprouts with displeasure for a few moments, and then asked in a low voice, "Junior Brother Zhao, didn't Elder Zhao the Second invite you?"
Zhao Mingtong sensed the probing in the tone, his gaze turned slightly cold, and he was about to speak when he suddenly saw his identity badge light up with a green glow.
Zhao Mingtong quickly answered the call, and when he saw the plain text displayed on the screen, he was immediately surprised, his narrow eyes widened, his mouth slightly open, and the chopsticks in his hand unconsciously slipped from his grasp and fell onto the table.
A few days ago, Zhao Mingtong heard about the grim situation at Flying Eagle Mountain from his grandfather.
This announcement left Zhao Mingtong utterly bewildered.
"Even if that Grandmaster Qin forcibly took over the sect's affairs and sent young disciples from the Benevolent Physician Peak and the Fire Refining Peak to provide support, there was no need to skip the third-level Spirit Sprout stage and promote that brat Wang Yan into the inner sect!"
"Has that poor kid done something big again?"
If it weren't for the fact that the message was sent by his grandfather himself, and that he hadn't instructed Zhao Mingtong to make sure he got along well with Wang Yan, he would have thought it was one of his grandfather's disciples playing a prank on him.
At this moment, Zhao Mingtong, who was in a daze, heard Zhong Jinghuo across from him ask, seemingly unaware of what was wrong, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhao Mingtong suddenly felt a bit annoyed by this senior brother who usually acted in a rather effeminate manner.
He looked at Zhong Jinghuo with displeasure, and was about to speak when the identity badge on Zhong Jinghuo's waist lit up with a green light.
After activating the light screen with his Xuan Qi and reading the information, Zhong Jinghuo was dumbfounded. After several dozen breaths, he looked up at Zhao Mingtong, whose face was grim, in disbelief and asked in a low voice, "Wang Yan has entered the Divine Literature Peak?"
Zhao Mingtong nodded blankly, then suddenly found the delicious food in front of him tasteless. Annoyed, he pushed away the plate, got up, and walked out, saying, "I'm going to ask around."
At this moment, several elders from the inner sect, who were at the third level of spiritual sprouts, exclaimed in surprise from a short distance away: "My God! Wang Yan has combined three new divine characters for medicine, combat, and concealment in succession today, all of which are at least in the top five of their respective categories. He has been exceptionally promoted into the inner sect by Shenwen Peak!"
"Three new masterpieces ranked in the top five of their respective categories! How did he manage that?"
Not far away, Zhu Siniu, who was eating while enduring the itch, was stunned, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
What?
Less than ten days have passed, how did Wang Yan suddenly become an inner disciple of Shenwen Peak?
Thinking about his deliberate targeting and contempt for Wang Yan a few days ago, and his current miserable state of being itchy all over but having no one to treat him, Zhu Siniu suddenly felt like crying.
"If I had known he was this capable, why would I have listened to Zhong Jinghuo and gone against him?"
Just then, Zhu Siniu heard Huo Erdan loudly ask, "Senior brothers, what did you just say? Yanzi has become an inner disciple of Shenwen Peak?"
Zhu Siniu looked around blankly, and Huo Erdan rushed to that table with a plate in hand, his face full of excitement.
"Yes!" Lingya, who had exclaimed earlier, said sourly, "Shenwenfeng just announced to the inner disciples that he applied for three more levels of divine script today and was accepted by Shenwenfeng through a special channel. My uncle told us to be more respectful to Wang Yan in the future."
Huo Erdan's face immediately lit up with unparalleled radiance, and he grinned joyfully: "Haha... so he wasn't lying to me, he really succeeded!"
Then, Huo Erdan looked at Zhu Siniu with disdain: "Zhu Siniu, did you hear that? Yanzi succeeded! He's got talent!"
Zhu Siniu lowered his head timidly, not daring to utter another sound.
Zhong Jinghuo's face was also ashen, but he remained silent.

After dinner, Wang Yan went outside the Divine Inscription Hall, used the Flowing Light Instantaneous Movement technique to stretch his body for a while, and only returned to his room after feeling relaxed.
"I've unlocked the nine-character space in my composite column, so now I need to put some evocative text in it. How about 'Drawing in profound energy to break through the realm, unstoppable momentum!'? That would fill all nine empty spaces perfectly."
The dense mystic energy inside the room suddenly surged in as if drawn by some force, rapidly seeping into his body like a raging torrent, churning and impacting his acupoints.
The eightfold energy within the interlocking column transformed into an invisible giant hand, squeezing out the surging torrent of profound energy like a perpetual motion machine.
Wang Yan felt as if the cells in his body were trembling and vibrating uncontrollably, and he experienced intense stinging pain in many places, causing him to grit his teeth and gasp for breath.
My head is starting to feel a little dizzy...
Quickly put together the phrase "No pain, no gain" in your mind.
They quickly merged together, releasing powerful energy under the stimulation of the profound energy, helping him endure the pain.
There was also the Taoist meditation mantra of "calming the mind and maintaining oneness," which released streams of cool energy, allowing Wang Yan's dizzy brain to remain clear.
But it still hurts so much!
The hidden dangers he had created by deliberately misspelling the character for "poison" earlier have now all erupted under the impact of the profound energy!
"Damn it, let's go for it! 'No destruction, no construction'!"
The moment the four characters for "god" came together, Wang Yan felt as if his entire body had been torn apart by five horses in an instant, leaving only his consciousness exposed.
