Ten minutes later, after a final conclusion from the five influential figures of Jing Cha Secret Organisation had been reached, the meeting ended.
Three out of the five of them had already walked out of the pitch-black room, leaving only two inside. They were master Yien and the only young man in the group, Lu Yi.
“You’re not leaving, Lu Yi? From the look on your face, you seem to have something on your mind, don’t you?”
Master Yien looked at Lu Yi who was sitting opposite him. The dim light that shone on Lu Yi’s face gave away his contemplative facial expression.
Lu Yi raised his head to meet the gaze of master Yien. “I’m thinking about the ancestor of the Lunar Land Sect. I heard that he’s still young, probably around his early thirties. But I do think it’s impossible for him to really be in his early thirties.”
Master Yien raised his brows a little. “So it’s about the age of the Lunar Land Sect’s ancestor? I don’t think he’d be in his early thirties either. Otherwise, he’d be the only one who passed through to the sky soaring level at that age!”
Lu Yi’s facial expression changed a little but was still very calm. He already knew that. If it was real, how talented must that person be?
Master Yien had opened the door to the sky soaring level at the age of 146.
When a comparison was made, it was very different, like heaven and earth. One could say that it was like they were from different worlds!
Master Yien sighed softly when he saw Lu Yi’s facial expression.
“You can compare anything but talent. It’s impossible, no matter how much you try. You’re only 29, Lu Yi, but you’ve already come so far by entering the earth solid realm, which is only a step away from the sky soaring realm. You have greater talent than I do. Don’t be discouraged.”
Hearing the wise words from master Yien, Lu Yi shook his head slowly.
“But there’s no guarantee that I’ll reach the sky soaring level in the end.”
“That’s true,” Master Yien admitted.
If the sky soaring level could be reached so easily, China would be full of sky soaring cultivators, rather than having an amount that could only be counted with two hands.
Even he himself had spent a great deal of time getting through to the sky soaring level. He had reached the earth's solid level at the age of 40. However, he’d spent another 106 years to reach the sky soaring realm.
One could tell that it was hard!
“Just let this matter go. However, there’s one thing that I’m wondering about. If Xu Xue Ning is really a student of the Lunar Land Sect, doesn’t that mean the Xu family is the greatest of all five families?”
Lu Yi stopped caring about the sky soaring level and changed the topic. This was also one of the things that he had been thinking about.
“Xu Sien Yi is a sky-soaring cultivator of the Xu family. If the ancestor of the Lunar Land Sect supports them, of course, they’d become the most powerful family out of all five!”
Master Yien said this determinedly. His facial expression gradually changed.
Xu Sien Yi was none other than the man whom Gu Ming, his student—no, his former student, that is—had fought with that year.
And Xu Sien Yi was also the one who’d destroyed Gu Ming’s ability to cultivate with his own hands. He’d eventually risen in the ranks later on.
Xu Sien Yi had spent 101 years to reach the sky soaring level. It was five years faster than master Yien.
Currently, Xu Sien Yi was technically a non-entity in the Xi family. However, every cultivator and high-ranking person in China knew that he was behind everything the Xu family did. He had been protecting the Xu family from all kinds of danger like a big, always sturdy tree.
One could say that if Xu Sien Yi was still alive, the Xu family would carry on!
“If you say this, that means it’s like what I’ve been thinking. The Xu family is the top of all the five families!” Lu Yi nodded.
However, he did not feel like it was a threat to him because his and the Xu family’s power was of different scopes like they were on different paths. It did not matter to him whether their power increased or decreased.
“It’s not important if it’s true or not. Even if it’s true, the Xu family wouldn’t dare to cross the line with the Jing Cha Secret Organisation anyway. Don’t forget that this organization is legendary!”
Master Yien said this with a more relaxed voice. Earlier, he’d talked with a stern tone. It was probably because he’d had grievances with Xu Sien Yi and the Xu family in the past.
Thinking about how legendary the Jing Cha Secret Organisation was, he finally let go. It was true that the Xu family has two sky-soaring cultivators, but so what?
This organization was legendary!
Yes… the legendary aspect being discussed was legendary cultivators!
There were less than five legendary cultivators in China!
Jing Cha the Legendary was the man who had given this organization its name; it was actually his own name. He was a legend who’d appeared at the combat trial between cultivators that was organized every five years.
The latest one had been organized five years ago. The next trial would be this year!
“You’re right,” Lu Yi said with a respect-filled tone when speaking of the legend.
This cultivator was not a normal person to those who were in training. For cultivators, he was equal to a god. He only had to wave his hand once to turn an island into dust!
How could one not compare legendary cultivators to gods?
“I’m afraid I have to excuse myself. I have to hurry and fetch Zhi Yun back,” Lu Yi said before getting up from his chair.
“Lu Zhi Yun. I heard she’s as talented as you. She’s come this far, even though she’s only twenty-four years old. In no time, she’ll surely catch up to you.”
Master Yien also got up from his chair. He talked with a smile on his face.
A rare smile appeared on Lu Yi’s face.
“My younger sister is only an idiotic person. She doesn’t even like being a cultivator. Instead, she loves to disguise herself at various casinos and rake in all the money.”
“Haha, that’s not wrong. She’s still young.” Master Yien laughed softly before walking towards the exit.
While walking past Lu Yi, his facial expression changed a little.
‘Lu Zhun Gu the Legendary must still be alive. Otherwise, Lu Yi and Lu Zhu Yun wouldn’t be swimming in this pool of power at this young age!’
Lu Yi looked at master Yien with a stern face until he was gone.
“If grandfather hadn’t been injured by the battle with Ming Kong the Legendary, the Lu family would be the number one in the cultivator world by now.” Lu Yi shook his head and spoke softly to himself.
“Jing Cha the Legendary was only a youngster in the generation after my grandfather and Ming Kong the Legendary!”
