Within the Human Emperor Sect.
Yang Chen sat quietly cross-legged on a chair in the main hall.
Several days had passed since their time at Cloudmist Sword Manor.
Not only had he brought back his three disciples, but Lin Fan and the others had also returned from the Central Continent.
Over those few days, relying on the immensely dense origin power within the Human Emperor Sect, Zhang Xiaofan and the other two had advanced by leaps and bounds. Zhang Xiaofan, in particular, had directly broken through to the fourth-stage Immortal realm.
Su An and Beigong Qing were slightly behind, having only reached the third-stage Immortal realm.
Even so, it was already an utterly terrifying achievement.
After all, only a few days had passed.
Though they were Yang Chen's disciples, Yang Chen had not given the three of them much special treatment.
They still began as Outer Sect disciples, becoming Lin Fan, Wang Yu, and Xia Yun's junior brother and junior sister.
As for Lin Fan, he had crossed the White Jade Staircase the day before yesterday and become an inner sect disciple.
He had also advanced to the sixth-stage Immortal realm.
Only then did everyone understand that to become an inner sect disciple, one had to possess the cultivation of a sixth-stage Immortal.
Lin Fan's success spurred everyone on.
With Holy Emperor Poison's control technique, Xia Yun could rival a sixth-stage Immortal even while only at the fifth stage.
But there was no helping it. The White Jade Staircase's hard requirement was the sixth stage.
Even if one's actual combat strength was sufficient, it was impossible without the required cultivation.
Thus, everyone threw themselves into cultivation.
Buzzzzz!!!
Space slowly rippled, and Han Jiuyue appeared beside Yang Chen.
Her exquisitely beautiful face and autumn-wave eyes fixed upon Yang Chen.
