Chapter 31: Another Bottleneck

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Liu Shengtian was already very popular in the sect because of his powerful strength. Now that he had obtained a spirit vein and had not been punished after going to the sect master, this kind of treatment could be said to be unprecedented.

When Liu Shengtian returned to Bai Mingxuan’s residence, Liu Yang, Liu Chuan, and the others had already been waiting for a long time. When everyone saw him, they praised Liu Shengtian for doing well this time.

After the praise, everyone sat down and began to eat. After three rounds of drinking, Liu Shengtian scratched his head.

“I went out and got a spirit vein this time, but it’s difficult to separate the spirit veins now. The sect master called me over today because he clearly knows about that spirit vein. After all, I’m a disciple of the Divine Martial Sect now. I can’t ask the villagers to take away all the spirit stones in the spirit vein, right?”

Bai Mingxuan nodded. “That’s true. We can’t let the village take all the spirit veins. Otherwise, the sect master will be unhappy. The Divine Martial Sect will also notice that we came from the same village. Moreover, our village has so many impressive people hidden.”

“Why don’t we lie down after drinking this cup of wine and see who can fall asleep first? Lord Divine Envoy often comes to our dreams to talk. We can also take this opportunity to ask Lord Divine Tree what he thinks.”

The three Liu brothers looked at each other and nodded. After drinking the wine, the four of them fell asleep. As expected, they quickly entered a dream.

Of course, the Divine Envoy also came to the dreams of the four of them as promised. After so many years of upgrading, Gu Xiao could now turn the dreams of the four of them into a dream. He could talk to the four of them at once. This way of talking saved a lot of effort.

Bai Mingxuan made a long story short. The main problem the four of them were facing now was that this spirit vein was a hot potato. If they gave it all to the Divine Martial Sect, the four brothers would definitely be unhappy. However, they were afraid of exposing themselves if they brought it all back to the village.

Gu Xiao understood what they were worried about, so he said to the four of them.

“This spirit vein is very rare for us, but it’s not much for your sect. Since this spirit vein was compensated to you by the Five Sabers Sect, you naturally have the right to deal with it.”

“Just leave 40%. I don’t think they’ll ask. Even if they ask you, you’ll only say that it’s for your cultivation. They won’t say anything.”

The four brothers could easily think of this solution, but for some reason, Lord Divine Tree’s words made them feel at ease and feel that this method was feasible.

After ending the visit in the dream, Gu Xiao sent the fog to the village and created an illusion in the fog. He told Ling Yao about the spirit vein and asked her to find a few capable people in the village to go to the spirit vein to get some spirit stones.

Ling Yao was also very happy when she heard that. She was also very grateful to the children who had gone out of the village. It was true that these children were being hunted down by others, but it was also true that they wanted to avenge her.

She agreed and hurriedly went to find some smart and capable people to send out.

On the other side, the Five Sabers Sect, which had been destroyed by Liu Shengtian, had also sent people to investigate Liu Shengtian’s identity. They learned that Liu Shengtian had indeed come from the Divine Tree Village, which was in the vast Great Desolate. Who else had come out of the vast Great Desolate other than him?

Liao Xing, Ling Yao!

Speaking of which, Ling Yao was much older than Wu Siquan. Back then, Ling Yao had rushed to the sect. At that time, Wu Siquan was still young and could only hide under the table timidly, watching Ling Yao kill his father.

After Ling Yao killed all the people in the sect who had the ability to make a move, she left behind a group of women and children. In Wu Siquan’s memory, the last image of Ling Yao was Ling Yao looking down from above. Her eyes were filled with pity, but also disdain. She looked at him with disdain. If it was his sister who cut grass and left a root, wouldn’t she be afraid that he would find trouble with her?

For so many years, Wu Siquan had always lived in Ling Yao’s shadow. When he closed his eyes, all he could see was Ling Yao’s expression and her disdainful gaze.

The people he sent out previously were only testing her, that Ling Yao. However, he knew that even his father could not stop Ling Yao back then, and he had only learned half of the Five Sabers Sect’s ultimate techniques. He was definitely not Ling Yao’s match. Only by finding the broken sword left behind by Liao Xing could the Five Sabers Sect change.

At this moment, even worse news came.

“Not good, not good, Sect Master! The two people we sent out later flew out of the vast Great Desolate and ran tens of thousands of kilometers. Our people went to investigate and discovered that the two of them had long died. I don’t know where the soul jade was taken to!”

When Wu Siquan heard this, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth. All of this was a trap. It turned out that they had already been on guard against him. Not only were they on guard, but they also took the initiative to attack and cheat him of a spirit vein.

Right now, Wu Siquan was both terrified and angry. He was afraid of Ling Yao and the village she led. They had unfathomable strength, and he was angry that he had actually been deceived.

“I’m not done with you!”

…

After a while, Liu Shengtian was now one of the three brothers of the Liu Family. He was most likely to become the last disciple of the Sect Master. If he really became the last disciple of the Sect, he would basically become the future Sect Master.

Gu Xiao transformed into the Divine Envoy and found Liu Shengtian in his dream.

“Shengtian, I have something to tell you. Your name is the most famous in the Divine Martial Sect now. I want your name to motivate the children in the village.”

Liu Shengtian was naturally happy when he heard this.

“Lord Divine Envoy, this is my honor. There’s no need to discuss it with me at all. As long as Lord Divine Tree and the Village Chief think it’s safe!”

Gu Xiao nodded. “That’s good. Be careful in the Divine Martial Sect. After all, you’re a legacy disciple. You still have many challenges to face.”

Liu Shengtian was very touched by the Divine Envoy’s instructions. At the same time, he secretly made up his mind to continue his seclusion when he woke up this time.

That was what Liu Shengtian thought. At the same time, that was what he did. However, fifteen days of closed-door training was a short period of time. After a short period of closed-door training, Liu Shengtian came out of closed-door training without any improvement.

Liu Shengtian knew that he had improved too quickly previously. The bottleneck had finally arrived. Moreover, this bottleneck was even more difficult than the previous bottleneck. It could be said to be seamless and did not give Liu Shengtian any chance to break through.

Liu Shengtian planned to ask Big Brother Bai what he should do next. However, at this moment, a few disciples stopped Liu Shengtian.

“Senior Brother Liu, you’re out of seclusion. During the time you were in seclusion, a few disciples kept clamoring to challenge you!”
