Chapter 2019 - 2020: The One Waiting for Me

Zhang Zhenlin said, "The elder has an exceedingly powerful strength, I feel he's probably at least in the Pursue Heart State."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Indeed, that elder is at the Pursue Heart State, very strong. And that young man is called Sha Qianqiu, his strength should have also reached The Threshold Realm."

Sun Wei said in surprise, "This gathering truly has strong cultivators as numerous as clouds. Previously, I felt that my cultivation was quite decent, truly unbeatable in our place.

But coming here, I've realized that my strength is somewhat low, how should I put it, it's truly disheartening."

Ling Zhenfei said, "It's nothing, this is like an exam. Even if you're ranked first county-wide and it feels remarkable, you're not much different from the first in the city.

But when you want to apply to a school nationwide, you find that compared to truly good students, your gap is quite significant."

Sun Wei laughed after hearing him and said, "Brother Ling, what you say is truly interesting, the analogy is really spot on."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Brother Du E made it very clear last time—those at The Threshold Realm who go to the Foreign Land Space will gain many benefits, saving a lot of time."

Sun Wei said, "Talking about it now has no solution, we can't possibly reach The Threshold Realm in a short span of time."

Ling Zhenfei sighed, expressing some regret to Sun Wei and Zhang Zhenlin.

The group then began discussing, exchanging experiences on learning, cultivation, and the like.

Last time, Ling Zhenfei taught them a Dual Focus cultivation method for Northern Spiritual Energy, which was highly practical for these two who love to play.

However, this method still lags behind full-immersion cultivation.

Actually, the reason Ling Zhenfei's cultivation speed is fast is related to the Cultivation Technique he practices.

Moreover, Ling Zhenfei is a sentimental person, so this technique suits him perfectly, allowing him to reach this Realm in a very short time.

If Ling Zhenfei practiced the same as others, slowly, considering his originally short cultivation time, he might not yet succeed in cultivation.

Murong Liuqing kept watching the direction of the mountain gate, what she most desired was for her sect to arrive.

Of course, Ling Zhenfei discerned Murong Liuqing's thoughts and said, "Miss Murong, don't worry too much. The Gate of the Foreign Realm should formally open the day after tomorrow. If it opens by noon, then Wuliang Mountain has about two days left.

In two days, Wuliang Mountain should be able to arrive. It's just uncertain how many from Wuliang Mountain can make it."

Murong Liuqing said, "Since they intend to stall Wuliang Mountain, they will surely find ways to obstruct our people."

Ling Zhenfei was silent after hearing this, as it indeed posed a problem.

Ling Zhenfei didn't know what else to say; it seemed saying anything now was pointless.

Dusk arrived, gray twilight descending gradually.

Possibly enlightened by the day's conversation, Murong Liuqing resumed cultivation, and Zhang Zhenlin and Sun Wei also commenced cultivation.

Ling Zhenfei gave each a pellet to accelerate their cultivation speed.

If cultivation can't swiftly elevate their strength, then resorting to elixirs is the only way.

Everyone immersed in cultivation left Ling Zhenfei a bit unoccupied.

Just then, a message suddenly sounded on the phone, instructing Ling Zhenfei to meet by the Mountain Guarding Stone that night.

Ling Zhenfei was surprised but saw the number was indeed from the organization.

The organization's numbers were numerous, but with clear marks, allowing Ling Zhenfei to recognize its source easily.

It seemed the organization had long been on Xianling Mountain, yet it's unclear what they wanted with him now.

Ling Zhenfei was merely a small fry in the organization, joining merely two or three missions, so being sent to the Foreign Land Space was unexpected.

After checking the time, he headed towards the Mountain Guarding Stone.

The Mountain Guarding Stone was even higher up from their location.

A dark giant rock overshadowed the mountainside path, conspicuously arranged there as if intentionally placed.

Arriving, Ling Zhenfei immediately realized the area belonged to a second-tier position, surrounded by small sects.

Precisely small sects, neither too large nor too small in power, barely able to produce a few experts of the Dawen Realm, simply from a single sect.

Loose Cultivators came in twos and threes, not differing much from these small sects.

Ling Zhenfei waited by the Mountain Guarding Stone.

Then someone approached, and Ling Zhenfei's phone lit again, with another message from the same number.

The person raised their phone towards Ling Zhenfei, clearly indicating, "I'm the one who sent the message."

The newcomer eyed Ling Zhenfei.

"Ling Zhenfei?"

Ling Zhenfei nodded, saying, "Yes, that's me."

The person said, "My code name is Eastern Emperor, leader of this mission."

Ling Zhenfei nodded, "Hello, Leader Eastern Emperor."

Eastern Emperor said, "Follow me."

Then he led the way and Ling Zhenfei followed.

Soon, they reached a sect post with several people, seven or eight, roughly.

Ling Zhenfei noticed all were at the Dawen Realm, although the organization had claimed a Pursue Heart State expert would accompany them, asking now felt inappropriate.

As they approached, Eastern Emperor first introduced Ling Zhenfei to the few present.

Then he said, "We're aware of our strength as it stands, but this mission is crucial—to obtain the Heavenly God Sword."

Ling Zhenfei found it amusing internally—thinking they could acquire the Heavenly God Sword on mere desire?

Yet Ling Zhenfei hesitated whether to voice thoughts, being a novice in this arena.

Someone queried, "Boss, you know this mission is hefty, relying solely on us ten or so to claim the Heavenly God Sword seems far-fetched."

Another added, "Indeed, you've seen the numbers Tianling Spirit Palace, Mount Bu Zhou, and the Cultivators Alliance brought.

We have neither power nor experience—why are we so confident of acquiring the Heavenly God Sword?"
