#289 - Traveling, Lei Qian follows

Inside the Renyuan Hall, Lin Yun finished absorbing the demonic energy seed.

He cupped his fist towards Renyuanzi and thanked him, "Thank you, Sect Leader. This disciple will certainly not let you down."

He chuckled inwardly, recalling his previous attempt to use the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art in the Great Wilderness Ancient Tablet, successfully absorbing the demonic energy and converting it for his own use.

That was why he had absorbed the demonic energy seed into his dantian without any hesitation.

In his view, the demonic energy seed was merely a resource for his cultivation.

"Alright, you may leave," Renyuanzi waved his hand, his voice very indifferent.

Lin Yun bowed slightly and walked out of the hall.

Renyuanzi watched Lin Yun's departing figure with satisfaction, then smiled and said to the depths of the hall, "The demonic seed has been planted. Now we can completely trust him."

"Good! Then let's announce the matter," a voice echoed from the depths of the hall.

Renyuanzi nodded and disappeared from the hall.

As Lin Yun walked out of the Renyuan Hall, he headed towards his own mountain peak.

Feeling the demonic energy seed within his body, Lin Yun found it somewhat magical. The Heaven Devouring Demonic Art within him was constantly operating.

"This demonic energy seed is quite powerful, capable of absorbing vital essence and spiritual power to strengthen itself."

"But that's perfect. I can use the demonic energy emitted by the seed, convert it with the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art, and use it to enhance my physical body, cultivate the Essence Devouring Lightning Body, and the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art."

Thinking of this, a smile involuntarily appeared on Lin Yun's face.

He had obtained the most core secrets of the Yuan Gate, earned the approval of the Yuan Gate Sect Leader, and could also use the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art to refine demonic energy for body refinement. It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

Landing on his mountain peak, Lin Yun sat down cross-legged and waved his hand, fully activating the formation outside the peak.

He slowly closed his eyes, needing to carefully sense how much the demonic energy converted by the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art could improve him.

Two hours later.

Above the highest mountain peak among the three great mountains, the sound of a great bell rang out again.

A voice filled with rich vital essence slowly spread throughout the three great mountains of the entire Yuan Gate.

"From this day forth, Lin Yun shall be the chief disciple of my Yuan Gate, his status second only to the three great Sect Leaders."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone on the three great mountains turned their gaze towards the highest peak.

Their eyes filled with shock.

"Is that the voice of the Grand Elder?"

"Did you… did you hear what the Grand Elder said? Lin Yun has become the chief disciple of our Yuan Gate."

"Hiss, Lin Yun has only been in our Yuan Gate for a year, yet his status is already second only to the three great Sect Leaders. My heavens."

"This is unreasonable! No disciple has ever received such high treatment."

"What's unreasonable about it? Just look at his talent."

"Lin Yun will probably be in the ascendant in our Yuan Gate from now on."

"What are you even thinking about? See if Senior Brother Lin Yun is lacking anything. If not, we can go and clean his palace for him."

"What are you thinking? Aren't you afraid of him disliking you? You'll end up losing the chicken instead of catching it."

"I heard that Qin Tian and the others have a good relationship with Lin Yun. See if we can convince them to take us along."

"Let's go, let's give it a try."

Sitting at the foot of the mountain, Lei Qian, who was diligently cultivating, looked at the location of the great bell at the very top, a bitter smile appearing on his face.

"In just one year, is the difference already this great?"

Just as he was muttering to himself, Ling Zhen and Yuan Cang, who had recovered from their injuries, also walked over from behind.

"I didn't expect that he would comprehend the three great Emperor Scriptures in such a short time. I have to say, I'm quite impressed," Yuan Cang said with a smile.

After the Yuan Gate Annual Competition, Yuan Cang and Ling Zhen had spent more than half a month recovering from their injuries.

However, they no longer held any hatred towards Lin Yun. They had previously fought because of利益, but now he completely surpassed them.

His status was second only to the three great Sect Leaders, a position they could no longer compare to.

"I was completely impressed with him when he defeated you with the Thunder Emperor Scripture. I've spent so many years, but I've never comprehended the true core," Lei Qian said with emotion, a hint of admiration in his heart.

Yuan Cang and Ling Zhen beside him were both stunned. This guy really knew how to talk, offending two people with one sentence.

"When we have time, let's go and congratulate him," Ling Zhen also said.

"I see that many Yuan Gate disciples have already gone over, but it seems they've all been stopped by the formation he set up."

Hearing his words, Lei Qian laughed, "Haha, he really is someone who hates trouble."

"But it's also very in line with his current identity as the chief disciple."

A trace of strangeness appeared in the eyes of Ling Zhen and Yuan Cang beside him.

It sounded like this person was very admiring of Lin Yun now.

Sitting in a great hall, Chen You, hearing the constant sounds coming from outside, almost didn't hold his teacup steady, muttering to himself, "This kid is always so surprising, but this is quite beneficial to us."

The head of the Second Division beside him also smiled, "I didn't expect that in just over a year, he would run ahead of us."

After speaking, Chen You took a sip of the tea in his hand with satisfaction, laughing heartily, "Hahaha, with his talent, I'm not surprised."

After laughing, as if thinking of something, he said, "It seems that he hasn't done this year's external training mission yet. Li Yang, go and remind him, and now is a good time for him to establish his prestige, so let the outside world see the strength of my Yuan Gate's chief disciple."

"Alright," Li Yang, the head of the Fourth Division, nodded.

After the two simply drank two cups of tea, Li Yang headed towards Lin Yun's mountain peak.

At this time, Lin Yun slowly opened his eyes, muttering to himself, "This demonic energy seed really improves my physical body quite a bit, and under the conversion of the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art, the effect seems to be even stronger."

After speaking, a smile appeared on his face, then he stood up and stretched lazily.

As soon as he stood up, he saw the dense crowd of people outside his formation, slightly stunned.

"What's the situation? Are these people here to gang up on me?"

Just as Lin Yun was puzzled, "Congratulations to Senior Brother Lin Yun for becoming the chief disciple of our Yuan Gate."

Hearing this, Lin Yun was slightly startled, then realized the intentions of these people, smiling helplessly. He had only been comprehending for a while, and he had become the chief disciple of the Yuan Gate?

Just as he was about to speak, a blue stream of light fell outside the mountain peak.

Waving his hand at the people outside, he said, "Disperse!"

Looking at the blue figure, many people could only leave helplessly.

In just a moment, the people outside had all disappeared from outside his formation.
