Chapter 1892 - 1893: Jealousy
Cui Lingyun said to the three people: "Brothers, don't you find it strange that this young man has reached the Realm of Reaching Wisdom at such a young age? How did he cultivate to this level?"
Li Shutong replied: "Why do you care how others cultivate? Maybe he's a cultivation genius. You can't be jealous just because he's young."
Cui Lingyun said: "Jealous of what? You don't know the details of this young man, but I do. I also know how he progressed so quickly in his cultivation."
Everyone was surprised to look at Cui Lingyun, even Ling Zhenfei was somewhat surprised because he had never seen this Cui Lingyun before.
At this point, Cui Lingyun said: "This kid is an Evil Demon. He has a technique for absorbing others' spiritual energy, and his rapid increase in strength is due to him absorbing others' spiritual energy."
Xiao Hai said: "How do you know he has such a technique? Besides, having that technique doesn't automatically make him an Evil Demon?"
Cui Lingyun said: "You don't know, but I have two brothers who fought with this kid. In the end, he absorbed their spiritual energy, causing them to be forever stuck at the Zhiyi Boundary level.
If not for this reason, there would be two more people talking with us now. It's all because of this Evil Demon."
Ling Zhenfei chuckled after hearing this and said: "You are a truly interesting senior. While I might not have much other talent, I never purposely fight with others. The Evil Demon you mention has nothing to do with me."
Cui Lingyun angrily exclaimed: "You little brat, even now you won't admit it. Watch as I avenge my two brothers."
After saying this, Cui Lingyun started to channel his spiritual energy to make a move, but Xiao Hai and Li Shutong stopped him.
"Brother Cui, calm down. I think we should clarify things before taking action."
Cui Lingyun stated: "What's there to clarify? I'll kill this Evil Demon to prevent him from being a menace."
Ling Zhenfei, feeling puzzled, said: "I'm curious, who are those two brothers of yours?"
Cui Lingyun replied: "One of them is named Li Jinlong, and the other is Xiao Zhan. Now you should understand."
Upon hearing this, Ling Zhenfei remembered that Xiao Zhan and Li Jinlong were top experts of the Guimou Sect, both at the Realm of Reaching Wisdom. They attacked Ling Zhenfei but were defeated in three moves.
He also used Spiritual Energy Deprivation to absorb their spiritual energy.
Ling Zhenfei said: "So, you're also from the Guimou Sect?"
Cui Lingyun responded: "That's right, I am from the Guimou Sect. Ling Zhenfei, you stole treasures from our sect and harmed many of our disciples. Today, I will avenge them."
Ling Zhenfei laughed: "As for me, Ling Zhenfei, you can inquire throughout the entire Huaxia about my reputation. I'm called the Divine Doctor, healing people and giving medicine selflessly, with utmost integrity.
You claim I stole from your sect, which is utter nonsense. I dare you to say how I could have stolen anything, when I have never even been to your Guimou Sect?"
Ling Zhenfei's words left Cui Lingyun momentarily stunned, but he then said: "Boy, today I won't discuss the matter of the Peach Flowers Secret Realm Map, but I must resolve the grudge between us and the Guimou Sect."
After saying this, Cui Lingyun rushed toward Ling Zhenfei.
He was at the later stage of the Realm of Reaching Wisdom, and his spiritual energy was not to be underestimated.
Moreover, he was now enraged, charging at Ling Zhenfei with spiritual energy brimming in his fist.
Ling Zhenfei, without hesitation, countered with the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists.
Boom!
The impact of spiritual energy made the wind on the cliff even stronger.
Cui Lingyun shifted his form and attacked Ling Zhenfei again.
His strength was indeed formidable; his form change was smooth, and his control of spiritual energy was masterful, having reached a refined state.
Their movements were swift, already exchanging over a dozen moves in a blink. At a level like Ling Zhenfei's, any sparring would inevitably stir the flow of spiritual energy.
The Realm of Reaching Wisdom might not be considered immensely powerful in the cultivation hierarchy, but it was regarded as expert-level in the current context.
Ling Zhenfei had heard of experts in the Pursue Heart State, but not about people beyond that, to the Traceless State.
Among those Ling Zhenfei encountered, Lu Tao had once reached the Pursue Heart State, but perhaps due to the level, he hadn't yet met those at higher levels.
The cultivation hierarchy undoubtedly resembles a pyramid, with fewer people at higher levels.
If you remain stuck at your current level, you naturally struggle to see higher realms.
When Ling Zhenfei reached the Reaching Hearing Knowing Intent Boundary, he felt quite strong, but now at the peak of the Realm of Reaching Wisdom, he felt increasingly insignificant.
Had he stayed at the Zhiyi Boundary, he might never have come to the Wuliang Immortal Palace or encountered matters of the Foreign Land Space.
Cultivation is thus a continuous process of self-discovery and improvement.
Cui Lingyun was clearly much stronger than Xiao Zhan and Li Jinlong, almost overwhelming them.
Cui Lingyun and Ling Zhenfei had fought over ten rounds, and he wasn't losing at all, explaining why the Wuliang Immortal Palace had sought him out.
Being a guest invited by the Immortal Palace meant he must possess significant strength.
Ling Zhenfei wondered what he should do, whether he should use his powerful Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists to teach Cui Lingyun a lesson.
But considering they were on Wuliang Mountain and Cui Lingyun was invited by the people of Wuliang Mountain, it wouldn't be right to harm him.
While Ling Zhenfei debated whether to take drastic action, he suddenly felt a surge of strong spiritual energy from higher up the mountain heading toward them.
Ling Zhenfei was astonished. Their small pavilion was merely a little spot at the mountain summit, but there was even higher space above.
This spiritual energy came rushing down from that higher place.
As the spiritual energy arrived quickly and powerfully, Ling Zhenfei and Cui Lingyun dodged to the sides.
Boom!
The energy hit the ground with a burst of sparks, its power evident.
When it struck the mountain rock, everyone saw that the spiritual energy encased something.
It was a pine nut.
A tiny pine nut accompanied by mighty spiritual energy clearly indicated that the person who threw it was extremely strong.
Everyone was shocked. Then a voice from afar shouted: "This is Wuliang Mountain. Who dares make such a racket on the mountain, disturbing the ancestor's meditation?"
Ling Zhenfei and the others quickly looked toward the source of the voice.
There, on a distant rocky outcrop, stood a young woman in white clothing.
