Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 133

Chapter 133: Who Is the Genius and Who Is the Waste?

“My strength is beyond anything a waste like you can even imagine!”

Liu Yanran remained calm, completely oblivious to the strange looks from everyone around her.

The disciples of the Yuntian Sect were stunned. How could their Young Sect Master, who had been in seclusion for over two years, be so bold?

She was calling a direct disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect—a prodigy—a waste!

Was it still possible to leave the Yuntian Sect now?

They were anxiously waiting online, really eager for the answer!

Zhuge Feng and Xiao Lingxi also smiled, unsure whether they were laughing at Liu Yanran’s arrogance or her ignorance.

Especially the elders of the Yuntian Sect—right now, they all doubted she was truly one of their own disciples.

Liu Yanran had clearly been secluded too long. Her mindset was stuck in the past, missing the rapid development of the Heavenly Dao Sect and completely unaware of the current situation!

Yun Zhi wanted to warn Liu Yanran again but was stopped by Su Bai.

“Let the younger generation handle their own affairs. We won’t interfere,” Su Bai said with a light laugh, quietly enjoying the show.

How could such a good drama be spoiled?

He hadn’t had enough yet!

Besides, his disciple must defeat the opponent with honor, not by them giving up!

At this moment, Xiao Yan and Liu Yanran stared each other down, tension thick in the air.

No, only Liu Yanran radiated that proud, disdainful aura, still looking down on Xiao Yan.

As for Xiao Yan, he remained utterly calm from start to finish, though deep in his eyes a gleam flickered—a look of watching a clown show.

He never really took this challenge seriously; he just wanted to settle the past and clear the knot in his heart from three years ago.

“Xiao Yan!”

“Let me show you the strength I possess now!”

“Three years ago, you could only watch me from afar. Today, you still can only watch me from afar!”

Liu Yanran took a step forward, and an overwhelming aura immediately surged from her entire being.

“I, Liu Yanran, two years ago received the recognition and inheritance from the First Generation Sect Master of the Yuntian Sect. I stepped through the Gate of Life and Death, secluded myself for two years, and mastered the Supreme Divine Ability!”

“I, Liu Yanran, possess a high-grade spirit root, with talents and comprehension ranked among the best in the world. The highest secret teaching of the Yuntian Sect, the Cloudsky Sword Canon, I studied and reached a minor breakthrough in just half a year!”

“I, Liu Yanran, am destined to enter the Nascent Soul Realm and explore the path of Divine Transformation in the future. How could I possibly be held back by a worldly engagement?”

“And you, Xiao Yan, what experience do you have besides joining the Heavenly Dao Sect?”

“Xiao Yan, today I’ll make you realize just how vast the gap between us is—so vast it’s despairing!”

Before Liu Yanran finished speaking, the spiritual energy inside her surged violently, instantly exploding into a storm that swept in all directions.

Foundation Establishment, Third Layer!

In three years, she had advanced from the Qi Refining Sixth Layer to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage!

Breaking through becomes harder the further one goes; surpassing two layers in Foundation Establishment is more difficult than advancing six layers in Qi Refining.

In other words, Liu Yanran’s cultivation speed was even more demanding than advancing from a mortal to Foundation Establishment in three years!

Her talent had even surpassed Lingxiao, the previous top prodigy of Great Zhao, truly possessing the potential for Divine Transformation!

If it weren’t for the existence of the Heavenly Dao Sect, Liu Yanran’s achievements would have been celebrated throughout the entire Yuntian Sect, heralding a future where, under the leadership of the Young Sect Master, the sect could reach its pinnacle.

However, the appearance of the Heavenly Dao Sect and the outrageous powers of its disciples continuously tell a single truth:

Three years to reach Foundation Establishment… is really mediocre!

The Heavenly Dao Sect likely has over one hundred thousand disciples who advanced to Foundation Establishment in three years alone.

Everyone in the Yuntian Sect fell silent. Liu Yanran undeniably had the arrogance to look down on everyone in Great Zhao.

But by sheer coincidence, Great Zhao had given rise to the Heavenly Dao Sect—a monstrous sect!

“Haha, hahahaha!”

“No wonder you’re a genius. Three years to reach the Foundation Establishment Third Layer, your cultivation base is a whole great realm above a waste like me,” Xiao Yan laughed.

“Now you realize the gap? A genius will always be a genius wherever they go, but a waste, no matter where they end up, will always be just a waste!” Liu Yanran sneered coldly.

Xiao Yan shook his head with a wry smile. “Liu Yanran, that sentence should be directed at you instead. You’re such a genius, but if you lose to a waste like me, doesn’t that mean you’re not even worth trash?”

“Then I’ll show you, genius, what level a waste like me has cultivated to!”

“Also, joining the Heavenly Dao Sect was the luckiest opportunity of my life!”

Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward, and the entire arena shook violently.

A fierce gale swept in all directions, so wild that the surrounding Yuntian Sect disciples couldn’t even keep their eyes open. They quickly retreated in all directions, unwilling to get anywhere near.

His aura rivaled that of a Golden Core stage practitioner!

No, not rivaled—he surpassed it!

Even the Great Elder of the Yuntian Sect’s Golden Core Great Perfection stage turned pale.

Though Xiao Yan’s realm wasn’t as high as his, the pressure he emitted was terrifying.

Here was another peerless talent capable of fighting beyond his level!

It was a pity—Xiao Yan was originally his strongest ally in the Yuntian Sect.

But now, he had become an enemy…

Everyone fell silent.

Those who claimed to be geniuses were only at the Foundation Establishment realm, while those who mocked themselves as wastes had reached the Golden Core!

So who was truly the genius? And who was the waste?

“Hmph!”

Liu Yanran was pushed back several steps by this overwhelming aura. As her blood surged inside her, a trickle of fresh blood uncontrollably dripped from the corner of her mouth.

“You…” she gasped in shock, her face pale.

Wasn’t she supposed to be a whole great realm ahead of him—at Qi Refining Third Layer?

How could he possess such a dense and powerful qi force?

How terrifying!

This waste—had he really become so formidable?

“Don’t say I’m being unreasonable. I’m giving you the chance to fight at full strength, so you can be defeated with no regrets. Liu Yanran, make your move!”

Xiao Yan stood on the stage, hands clasped behind his back, looking down at Liu Yanran as if she were an insignificant ant.

“I don’t believe that a waste like you could possess power comparable to the Golden Core Realm in just three years. This must be an illusion; you’re trying to make me surrender without a fight!”

“Heh, Xiao Yan, such a cheap trick won’t fool me. I, Liu Yanran, will definitely defeat you today!”

“You’re doomed to lose this fight!”

Liu Yanran took a deep breath and declared firmly.

She could not believe that anyone in this world could cultivate from a mortal to the Golden Core within three short years!

That was simply impossible!

In her eyes, reaching Foundation Establishment in three years was already the limit!

But Xiao Yan shook his head, sighed deeply, and slowly uttered a phrase: “A frog at the bottom of a well!”

“A frog at the bottom of a well?” Liu Yanran scoffed coldly. “I want to see who’s truly the frog in the well!”
