The one who appeared was none other than Shi Baru.
Shi Baru had been in seclusion, consolidating his cultivation, when a servant informed him that the Gate of Trial had opened.
Shi Baru knew that Jiang Feng must have entered the Gate of Trial. Thus, even though his Two Principles Realm cultivation had not yet been fully consolidated, he had still hurried over to cheer Jiang Feng on.
However, his arrival added a small climax to the scene.
"It really is Senior Brother Shi Baru!"
"He... he really has reached the Two Principles Realm!"
"That's right! Haha, who would have thought Senior Brother Shi Baru had quietly attained the Two Principles Realm?"
Shi Baru was exceedingly popular among the outer sect. Throughout the entire outer sect, even aloof experts such as Jing Xingyuan and Zhao Ling were on good terms with him. Now that everyone discovered he had attained the Two Principles Realm, they naturally hurried to offer their congratulations.
"Haha, who would have thought that two outer sect experts would break through into the Two Principles Realm at the same time?"
"A joyous occasion indeed, a joyous occasion indeed!"
"Senior Brother Shi, congratulations!"
Wave after wave of congratulations surged through the area behind the outer sect hall.
To one side, Cold Moon wore an utterly indifferent expression.
"Old fool, you actually got there before me!" Cold Moon, who looked down from the bottom of his heart on the current Earth Ranking experts of the outer sect, naturally looked down on Shi Baru as well.
In the air, Shi Baru cupped his hands in return again and again. "Thank you, everyone. Thank you."
Someone spoke up. "Senior Brother Shi, now that you've successfully entered the Two Principles Realm, you must set up a platform and expound the Dao for everyone!"
