NOVEL NEXT Chapter 130_1
"Senior Brother Zhang Jing? Am I familiar with him?"
The man controlling the flying vessel almost lost control upon hearing this, his spiritual power becoming chaotic, nearly causing the two of them to tumble down.
How could he possibly be familiar with Senior Brother Zhang Jing?
He couldn't help but glance at his junior sister's cute face and gave a helpless smile, explaining:
"Hmm, junior sister, how can I put it?"
"Perhaps I may disappoint you, but I'm not skilled enough to be acquainted with Senior Brother Zhang Jing."
"As for what you just mentioned about repaying him, I suggest you don't disturb Senior Brother Zhang Jing. Just focus on your cultivation in the Dao Institute and he will naturally notice you."
Upon hearing these words.
A trace of surprise appeared on Pei Xiaoshuang's face.
Had she... misunderstood something?
Moreover ——
If she had heard correctly.
According to what this senior brother had said, it seemed that Senior Brother Zhang Jing's status was even higher than she had imagined?!
But he looked so young.
He was even younger than her.
Pei Xiaoshuang was sure she had not misjudged Zhang Jing's age.
This was her key survival skill in the world of loose cultivators; she could basically determine a person's age just by looking at them, and her judgement was almost always accurate.
She cautiously asked:
"May I ask, senior brother, sounds like Senior Brother Zhang Jing is very powerful? Does he hold a high position?"
Upon hearing this,
the man couldn't help but recall the rumors about Zhang Jing's extraordinary feats overshadowing his fellow disciples in the inner academy.
He spoke in admiration:
"He's not just powerful, he's an absolute freak!"
"As for his status, being part of the inner academy and being the future undisputed chief of the Thousand Law Pavilion, Senior Brother Zhang Jing, of course, holds an incredibly high status!"
"Inner academy?"
Pei Xiaoshuang asked in confusion.
"That refers to the Foundation Establishment Realm disciples in the Dao Institute. They're in the inner academy, whereas we're in the outer academy."
Upon hearing this.
Pei Xiaoshuang looked dazed.
...
Time slowly passed.
Unknowingly, nine months had passed.
In this period, the Dragon Lake Dao Institute welcomed a new batch of disciples.
However, this batch couldn't match up to Zhang Jing's batch.
The absence of Grade-A monsters was normal, but even the number of Grade-B talents had drastically decreased.
This led the older disciples to reminisce about the glory days of the previous batch.
And then sigh.
Of course.
In their hearts, even if this current batch produced more Grade-A monsters, they still wouldn't compare to the previous batch.
The reason was,
The existence of a single monster!
And now after nine months.
The legends about Zhang Jing were still as hot as ever.
The hole where the Luodu squad used to be had become a 'holy site,' especially the cultivation room.
Many outer academy disciples went to pay their respects, hoping to find some traces of Zhang Jing's cultivation, to gain some insights.
Thinking of becoming the next Zhang Jing was unthinkable.
But being on par with a Grade-A... should be easy, right?
That's why.
Even though the Luodu squad kept raising the bar to enter, they still couldn't stop the outer academy disciples from rushing in.
...
In the vicinity of Immortal Island where Zhang Jing was cultivating.
At this moment,
In mid-air,
The pavilion masters of the Dragon Lake Dao Institute stood.
The chief of the Thousand Law Pavilion was at the forefront.
He couldn't help but look at the immortal island with a sense of enquiry in his eyes.
In his line of sight.
Xia light was erupting from the island.
Unexpectedly, in this Xia light, a faint hint of purple appeared, masking the entire island tightly.
At the same time.
An inexplicable fragrance permeated tens of miles.
Jjust a whiff of it would bring about an open and refreshed mind, and a Tao intent would be conceived.
Not far away.
Many inner academy disciples were surrounding this immortal island, sitting cross-leged, engrossed in their cultivation.
Occasionally, some would reveal expressions of unrestrainable joy, clearly having gained some enlightenment.
"Why is this kid making such a fuss while establishing his Tao foundation?"
The Spirit Tao Pavilion Master was utterly confused and asked.
"And the timing isn't quite right either. Judging by this situation, Zhang Jing's Tao foundation should be established soon. But it has only been nine months! Is establishing the Gold Nature Foundation so fast?"
The Legacy Pavilion Master immediately added.
The rest of the pavilion masters shook their heads on hearing this.
No matter how they racked their brains, they couldn't understand why Zhang Jing's foundation establishment was exhibiting such an anomaly.
It didn't match at all with the scene of the achievement of the Gold Nature Foundation recorded in the Dao Institute.
At this moment.
The silent chief of the Thousand Law Pavilion suddenly had an unbelievable idea and hoarsely spoke,
"Fellow masters, is it possible that—— "
"Don't bother guessing, what this kid is establishing is not the Gold Nature Foundation, but... Purple Immortal Foundation! The establishment of an Immortal Foundation naturally defies common sense."
The voice of the academy principal suddenly sounded.
Causing the Thousand Law Pavilion chief to swallow his conjecture once again.
The next moment.
The principal's figure slowly appeared before everyone's eyes.
He looked down at the immortal island beneath him, with a hint of indulgence in his eyes.
This little fellow Zhang Jing had fooled everyone.
If it wasn't for the notification from the Upper Realm a month ago, stating that a True Immortal was about to descend to Dragon Lake Dao Institute and guide Zhang Jing into the Upper Realm for cultivation,
He would still be in the dark like the other pavilion masters.
Thinking about this.
A trace of complexity appeared in the principal's eyes.
"A Purple Immortal Foundation! I never thought that the first Purple Immortal Foundation in the recorded history of Dragon Lake Dao Institute would appear during my tenure!"
Calculating the time.
There were still more than three months until the True Immortal from the Upper Realm descended.
Although the time was short, it should be enough for Zhang Jing to successful establish his Immortal Foundation.
"After this kid concludes his secluded cultivation, let him take on the True Spirit List. Even though his cultivation is only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, but this is the existence of an Immortal Base. Each of them are extremely terrifying and cannot be measured by common factors."
"Perhaps this time, our Dragon Lake Dao Institute's face would show up in the top hundred ranks of the True Spirit List."
The academy principal's heart was immediately filled with excitement.
However, at this moment.
Other Pavilion Masters had just recovered from their shock and were all looking at the Principal, their eyes revealing disbelief.
"Senior Brother, is it really... an Immortal Base?"
The Pavilion Master of Supervision asked with a trembling voice.
If what the Principal said was true, then Zhang Jing would be the first one in their Dao Institute to establish an Immortal Base, an event of exceptional significance!
More importantly,
The Upper Realm would inevitably give a terrifying reward!
"Hehe, that's my Thousand Law Pavilion's inner academy, my Thousand Law Pavilion's inner academy."
The chief of Thousand Law Pavilion murmured to himself with a silly smile.
"Indeed! The Upper Realm has already notified me, a True Immortal will descend soon to guide this kid back to the Upper Realm."
"Don't spread word of this."
The Academy Principal's face turned serious.
"Senior Brother, we understand," replied the Pavilion Masters in unison.
As the voices fell.
Silence returned to this place.
The gaze of the Academy Principal and the Pavilion Masters fell unanimously to the Immortal Island where Zhang Jing was cultivating, anticipation written all over their faces.
A Purple Immortal Foundation!
Even for them, it was a rare sight in their lifetime.
Time slowly passed.
Three days later.
"He's about to succeed!"
The principal's face lit up with excitement.
