Chapter 117: Li Shenruo leaves the customs and invites to fight Leng Yanran

Hearing the elder's words, everyone suddenly realized.

No wonder the Ren family was resolved, after all there was a Void Refining Realm existence to handle the matter.

"Since Shenruo came back, she has been practicing the immortal-level skills that she just obtained. She is in seclusion now. However, according to Shenruo's talent, hse must be about to leave the seclusion now."

After an elder nodded slightly, he said with a look of pride on his face.

"Hey, it would be great if the second saintess of my Holy Mountain was as tolerant, energetic and put on half the effort of the first saintess. After Shenruo practices the Immortal-level skills this time, her realm should regress a little, but it won't take long for her to break through to the Unity Realm."

Another elder couldn't help sighing.

As his words fell, everyone nodded again and again. But suddenly, everyone looked at Li Yourong inadvertently, and after seeing Li Yourong's realm clearly, everyone was stunned.

"Seventh Heaven of the Profound Sky Realm? Hiss...… It's been less than a month since Yourong went down the mountain, did Yourong encounter any chance?"

After seeing that Yourong's realm had broken through to the seventh level of the Profound Sky Realm, many elders couldn't help but gasp.

"Just... just took a bath. Does this count as a chance?"

Li Yourong pondered for a moment, then weakly spoke up.

The crowd fell into silence, utterly disbelieving what Li Yourong had just said. Could it be possible that merely taking a bath could lead to breakthroughs in two realms? If that were the case, who would need cultivation? Immortality could be achieved simply by bathing and sleeping every day!

Just as the group was about to press further for answers, a sudden change occurred within one of the halls. Countless streams of spiritual energy began converging toward that particular grand hall.

"Saintess Shenruo has succeeded!"

Seeing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and in an instant, they all positioned themselves before the grand hall, eagerly anticipating the extent of Li Shenruo's progress after cultivating the Immortal technique!

Though switching cultivation techniques might cause a temporary regression in cultivation realm, due to the higher grade of the new technique, one's strength wouldn't diminish. In fact, it might even improve.

Observing this, Leng Yanran casually glanced around and couldn't help but purse her lips. The phenomenon caused by this was somewhat lackluster… Just a small vortex of spiritual energy. It was likely that the absorbed spiritual energy wasn't as abundant as the dense aura before the Heavenly Dao Hall on ordinary days.

Although this Holy Mountain could be considered a place of great fortune and blessings, its spiritual energy concentration was more than ten times higher than that of the outside world. However, compared to their Heavenly Dao Hall, it fell short by more than a hundred times!

Even if one were to practice normal breathing and meditation near the Heavenly Dao Hall, it would yield greater results compared to cultivating within this Holy Mountain.

Before long, the vortex of spiritual energy dissipated.

"Saintess Shenruo is able to induce a vortex of spiritual energy at the Profound Sky Realm, truly living up to her reputation as a rare genius in our Holy Mountain for thousands of years," praised an elder.

"Back in the day, even when I reached the Unity Realm, I couldn't induce such phenomena. It seems that the Saintess's advancement this time is substantial," many elders nodded in agreement.

However, these words, when heard by Leng Yanran and even Li Yourong at the side, seemed quite ridiculous. Especially when recalling their master's cultivation, which could stir up a sea of spiritual energy comparable to an endless ocean, and could even trigger heavenly tribulations!

In their hearts, this small vortex of spiritual energy hardly counted as a phenomenon… At best, it was a minor disturbance.

"Boom, boom—"

With the sound echoing, the stone doors of the grand hall slowly opened. Li Shenruo, still resembling an otherworldly fairy, had a little bell hanging on her bare foot.

As she moved, it seemed as if she were stepping above the ground, maintaining a slight distance from it. It was as though dust couldn't come near her—she was the most noble fairy in this world.

In terms of appearance, she was nearly seventy percent similar to Li Yourong, but her figure was somewhat more slender. The two of them were complete opposites.

"Did your retreat go smoothly, Saintess?"

As soon as Li Shenruo appeared, the elders couldn't help but ask with concern.

"Elders, thank you for your concern. I have successfully cultivated the Immortal technique during this retreat. Though I fell by two minor realms, it won't take long to re-cultivate and soon break through to the Ninth Stage of Profound… no, I will quickly advance to the Unity Realm!"

Li Shenruo calmly responded to the elders. Suddenly, her gaze froze, noticing Li Yourong and Leng Yanran standing not far away.

"Fairy Leng? Yourong?"

Li Shenruo looked at the two of them, then approached with a slight bow towards Leng Yanran. In response, Leng Yanran nodded.

"Thank you, Fairy Leng, for allowing me to share the opportunity in the secret realm. Without your generosity, Shenruo wouldn't have been able to cultivate this Immortal technique. Perfect. Since Fairy Leng is visiting our Holy Mountain, Shenruo will make proper arrangements to entertain you."

Li Shenruo still held a trace of gratitude towards Leng Yanran in her heart. After all initially, Leng Yanran was chosen as the heir. If it weren't for Leng Yanran's refusal, she wouldn't have been able to obtain the Immortal technique.

"There's no need to thank me. Besides, it's not as if it's an extraordinary opportunity. If possible, please arrange a quiet place for me to cultivate," Leng Yanran waved her hand casually. She had no interest in indulging in food, drink, and play. Her only aspiration was to reach the realm of an immortal, becoming the left and right arms of her master.

"Fairy Leng, your dedication to cultivation is admirable," Li Shenruo said with respect. "I'll arrange a place for you to cultivate. Please wait a moment."

Li Shenruo nodded slightly, then looked at the other elders. The elders immediately understood and went to prepare a residence for Leng Yanran.

At this moment, Li Shenruo observed Leng Yanran and was surprised to find that her strength had reached the Unity Realm! It had only been about a month since their return from the secret realm, yet Leng Yanran had broken through from the Seventh Stage of the Profound Sky Realm to the Unity Realm. Such speed was astonishing.

Upon further contemplation, Leng Yanran had managed to acquire almost ninety percent of the heavenly treasures and precious materials within the secret realm. This was likely due to her reliance on those resources.

"Fairy Leng, just now, Shenruo has successfully cultivated the Immortal technique. However, her understanding of her current strength is still a bit unclear. Could I seek some guidance from you?"

After a brief pause, Li Shenruo turned her gaze towards Leng Yanran with a resolute expression.

Previously, within the secret realm, she had been overshadowed by Leng Yanran. Now, although her cultivation had regressed by two minor realms, Leng Yanran had reached the Unity Realm. Nevertheless, Li Shenruo was practicing the Immortal technique!

As someone capable of battling above her cultivation realm, with the power of the Immortal technique behind her, she might not be incapable of sparring with Leng Yanran!

"Well then, if that's your wish."

Leng Yanran initially intended to decline, but considering that Li Shenruo was her junior sister's elder sister, she decided to give her a bit of face and offered some guidance to her.

"Thank you, Fairy Leng! Later on, I hope the fairy will go easy on me."

Upon hearing this, Li Shenruo struck a pose of gratitude, ready to lead Leng Yanran to the martial training ground of the Holy Mountain.

"No need to trouble yourself, we can do it here just as well."
