Other disciples also filed out one by one, though they had not fared as well as Sun Mingxiu. Not only did they walk with imbalanced steps, but they were also completely unable to control their strength. They even had to stop for a brief moment after taking each step, as they felt as if they were about to fall over at any time. Nevertheless, everyone’s expression was indicative of how excited they were.
The junior disciples outside, after all, had little knowledge, and could not understand why they were like this. Nonetheless, they could still feel that their senior brothers and sisters had all become much stronger by the aura they gave off. Nonetheless, their clumsy appearance still looked remarkably humorous to them.
Meanwhile, Dong Qitian’s eyes were completely wide open. When he saw the current cultivation base of these people, it felt like he was seeing ghosts.
Sun Mingxiu was at the peak-level of Supreme Acme, only one step away from becoming an Honor! Yu Chenghang’s cultivation base was at the perfected ace-level of Supreme Acme, only one step away from the peak-level. Like him, Bai Yexing had also reached the perfected ace-level of Supreme Acme, but his strength seemed to be slightly stronger.
The cultivation base of the other disciples fell between the ace or intermediate-level of the Supreme Acme realm, and the worse two were also at the beginner-level! All in all, they had all advanced to the realm of Supreme Acme!
It was like the old hen had turned into a duck in the blink of an eye.
Furthermore, they had not just turned into ducks! They were clearly…dragons!
They had all truly succeeded in this Emerald Cloud Road!
No one had failed!
So, what had happened to the legendary twenty percent success rate?
The following question was, where was the effect of the heaven and earth treasures, which suddenly had a huge impact because of the increase in quality?
Was he seeing things?
Supposedly, even though this Emerald Cloud Pill could raise an individual to the next major realm, it was already an excellent result for these disciples—whose highest cultivation base was at the peak level of the Immortal Mystic realm—to have achieved the beginner-level of the Supreme Acme, while he estimated that others could only break through to the peak level of the Supreme realm.
This was already the best result and the highest achievement under the twenty percent success rate. Still, why had all these disciples soared to the level of Supreme Acme?
Moreover, Sun Mingxiu and the few other disciples even leaped to the peak-level of the Supreme Acme realm! If the medicinal strength had been slightly stronger, wouldn’t they have directly become Honors?
This did not make any sense at all!
If he had been seeing ghosts earlier, did that mean he was bumping into gods right now?
Dong Qitian had made it very clear to Yun Yang before.
“Things will develop in the opposite direction when they become extreme. When a supplement is so powerful that the user can’t withstand it, it will become the most poisonous thing for him or her!”
“In the Ultimate Heaven Sect, the Emerald Cloud Road is also called the Road to Hell. Those who set foot on this road will either ascend to heaven in a single step or fall from the sky and perish forever!”
“More than ninety-nine percent of the warriors in this world do not have the blessing to bear it.”
“Under normal circumstances, no one would have resorted to this method unless it had come to a point of necessity. The saying of ‘succeed or die’ is never plain talking, and the so-called ‘men are the masters of their own fate’ is just a lie used widely in novels, a bluff used to encourage people.”
It was an indisputable and unquestionable fact, but now, he could not believe they all succeeded…
Wasn’t this an absurd situation?
Why did the miracle that only occurred in novels appear in front of his eyes and become reality?
No, how could a success rate like this be a mere miracle? This was clearly a divine revelation!
However, who was Dong Qitian? After being startled for a moment, he keenly noticed with his eyesight and rich experience that there must have been other factors at play here!
A divine revelation like this would not have happened if there had not been some intervention!
At that moment, Sun Mingxiu stood at the steps and performed a roll call. “Yun Xiuxin, Hu Xiaofan, Cheng Jiajia, Lu Changman, Lin Xiaorou…” He read out the names of ten people. “Master asked you to go in.”
Looking at the nervous and excited eyes of the ten junior brothers and sisters, Sun Mingxiu smiled and said, “Go ahead, you don’t have to be too nervous. I wish you all good luck!”
Then, Sun Mingxiu and nine other disciples walked gracefully…well, with the same imbalanced steps, and moved away. Nevertheless, their speed was much faster now, obviously going back to digest today’s harvest. Their current appearance did not look too elegant to their juniors.
Sun Mingxiu had set himself a goal: he needed to get himself used to this new strength within five days, as he still needed to maintain his mannerism as the eldest senior brother.
“My junior brothers and sisters, you must seize the time to consolidate your current cultivation base after you go back. You must not be lazy! Don’t fail to live up to the painstaking efforts of Master, Uncle-Master, and Master Sect Leader.”
“This advancement is undoubtedly a rare encounter. Even in the Residence of Nine Supremes, there will not be too many such opportunities. We are a sect that has just been established, but Master has given us such an opportunity. I believe there was a huge price to pay for this. Perhaps, the resources of the whole sect have all been consumed for our breakthrough this time…
“Such great kindness, my junior brothers and sisters, you must not take for granted.
“This is a kindness worthy of our life’s service!
“We should remember this kindness in our heads and imprint it in our hearts!”
Everyone’s face grew solemn as they nodded in silence, their eyes flashing with gratitude.
“Eldest senior brother, you don’t have to say that, we all know it!”
How difficult was it for a sect that had not yet possessed a Celestial Luck Banner to get such an opportunity? The disciples were shallow in their strength and knowledge, so it would take them a long time to realize the difficulty! Nonetheless, this did not hinder their loyalty toward the Master and sect!
And, judging from their shallow knowledge, even the sects with Celestial Luck Banners should not have many heaven-defying spiritual medicines like this that could make people advance into the next major realm overnight.
Therefore, as their eldest senior brother, Sun Mingxiu said, their Master and others were likely to have lost everything this time around! They really had to remember this great kindness all their lives and imprint it in their hearts!
…
After seeing Yun Xiuxin and other disciples swarm in with eager anticipation, Dong Qitian began to worry again. Among these little fellows, the one with the strongest cultivation base was only at the peak-level of Heaven Mystic realm.
In terms of the prospect of cultivation, Dong Qitian was actually more optimistic about Yun Xiuxin and her group than Sun Mingxiu’s group. Although Sun Mingxiu and others had made astonishing progress that was faster than the core disciples actively cultivated by many sects, they were merely excellent in his eyes, but not rare geniuses.
All the top ten disciples, including Sun Mingxiu, were in the category of mature and prudent disciples, except for Bai Yexing. Normally, over ninety-percent of such people would grow up to be elders, heralds, or guardians of the sect.
Even the best of them, Bai Yexing, had the opportunities to become one of the leaders of the sect and had even undergone greater development, but that was all. If he had not met any other special encounter, his achievements in this life would probably have been like this!
It was especially the case when he was in the Residence of Nine Supremes, a unique sect packed with geniuses!
Nonetheless, Yun Xiuxin’s group was different!
