Even Duan Lingtian himself never imagined that when he stood on the crooked tree that day and felt the piercingly cold winter wind, it would cause him to inexplicably enter that state of sudden enlightenment.
He comprehended 'Elementary Wind Force' in a single moment of enlightenment!
"Shit!"
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian seemed to have thought of something, and his pupils constricted as his face went ghastly pale.
Whirlwind!
Duan Lingtian's figure shook, as if transforming into a gale that flashed straight down Megrez Peak, and his heart burned with anxiety.
"I wonder how long this sudden enlightenment took. If I miss the day of the Martial Competition of the five great sects, then I would truly be letting down the care the Sect Leader gave me."
After Duan Lingtian left Megrez Peak, he directly stepped onto the chain bridge and headed towards Dubhe Peak.
He didn't dare stay for even a moment.
Before he entered into closed door cultivation that day, the materials Duan Lingtian asked the Sect Leader, Linghu Jin Hong, to help him find were practically all materials that he didn't have in his possession …
Those materials were all materials that were extremely difficult to come by and were priceless.
Duan Lingtian remembered this favor in his heart.
If he was unable to make it in time for the Martial Competition of the five great sects this time, then he would undoubtedly lose a chance to repay this favor.
He didn't wish to lose this chance!
Duan Lingtian's figure shook, giving rise to the wind and clouds along the way, and he directly headed to Dubhe Peak's Dubhe Hall.
After arriving at Dubhe Hall and seeing the Sect Leader's personal disciple, Huang Ji, Duan Lingtian heaved a sigh of relief. Looks like I didn't miss it.
"Duan Lingtian, Master has been looking for you for a few days, yet no one in Megrez Peak knows the location of your cultivation area … You're really cultivating on Megrez Peak?"
Huang Ji's expression was still calm when he saw Duan Lingtian, but his brows slightly frowned.
"The Sect Leader is looking for me?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned, then under Huang Ji's lead, he walked into Dubhe Hall.
Before long, the Sect Leader, Linghu Jin Hong, appeared.
"Duan Lingtian."
Linghu Jin Hong's calm face revealed a wisp of a smile when he saw Duan Lingtian.
This scene made Huang Ji, who was standing at the side, look a little unnatural.
He was Linghu Jin Hong's personal disciple, but normally, in front of this master, he had never seen his master have such a smile towards him …
Jealousy rose in his heart.
"Sect Leader."
Duan Lingtian nodded towards Linghu Jinhong with a slight smile. "I've been cultivating all this time, but I didn't pay attention to the time … When are we leaving?"
"We'll leave in three days."
Linghu Jin Hong raised his hand as he spoke.
Whoosh!
In his hand, a spirit fruit that shone with a dark green luster appeared out of thin air.
The spirit fruit was crimson in color, but it shone with a dark green luster. With just a glance, one could tell that this spirit fruit was no ordinary item.
"Hmm?"
Huang Ji's eyes suddenly brightened.
Spirit fruits were treasures that could only be found by chance.
"Jade Yuan Fruit!"
When Duan Lingtian saw the Spirit Fruit in Linghu Jin Hong's hand, he immediately recognized it and couldn't help crying out in surprise.
According to the memories of the Samsara Emperor Wu.
The Jade Yuan Fruit was a spirit fruit that was of an even higher grade than the Profound Origin Fruit he consumed that day.
When a martial artist below the fourth level of the Nascent Soul Stage consumed it, it was sufficient to directly break through to the next level!
When a martial artist at the fourth level, fifth level, and sixth level of the Nascent Soul Stage consumed it, it would allow their cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds. If a martial artist fell into a bottleneck, it was even sufficient to directly break through the bottleneck and break through to the next level.
If a martial artist at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage or above consumed it, the effects would be greatly reduced.
Duan Lingtian's breathing became hurried.
If he was able to obtain this Jade Yuan Fruit, then once he consumed it, he was confident that he would directly break through to the next level of cultivation.
"Jade Yuan Fruit?"
At the beginning, although Huang Ji realized that the spirit fruit in Linghu Jin Hong's hand wasn't simple, he wasn't able to recognize it.
Now, when he heard what Duan Lingtian said, his gaze burned.
His cultivation had broken through to the fifth level of the Nascent Soul Stage three months ago.
If he was able to obtain this Jade Yuan Fruit, then even if he was unable to break through to the sixth level of the Nascent Soul Stage, it would be sufficient to allow his cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds, and it would be extremely helpful to his future cultivation.
For a time, Huang Ji's gaze was filled with yearning as he looked at the Jade Yuan Fruit.
"I never expected that you'd be able to recognize the Jade Yuan Fruit."
Linghu Jin Hong glanced at Duan Lingtian in surprise. This young man was really becoming more and more mysterious.
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled, and his gaze never left the Jade Yuan Fruit in Linghu Jin Hong's hand. "I've once seen it in an ancient book, and there's a special diagram explaining it in detail."
Linghu Jin Hong came to a sudden understanding.
If it was like this, then it wasn't strange.
"Duan Lingtian."
Linghu Jin Hong glanced at Duan Lingtian, then his gaze descended onto the Jade Yuan Fruit in his hand.
This scene caused Huang Ji's face to go pale.
"Could it be that Master wants to bestow this Jade Yuan Fruit to Duan Lingtian? No, absolutely not! "
Huang Ji's heart burned with anxiety, and his heart was filled with unwillingness.
However, before his Master, Linghu Jin Hong, he didn't dare be the slightest bit presumptuous.
"Have you broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage now?"
Linghu Jin Hong slowly asked Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled as he nodded.
"Haha … Good."
Linghu Jin Hong laughed heartily. "You really didn't disappoint me. If I'm not wrong, you seem to be only 22 years old this year? "
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded with a carefree expression.
He didn't think that this achievement was very high.
The mysterious yellow clothed young girl from that day, Han Xuenai, was around 15 or 16 years old, and her cultivation was already at the Void Prying Stage …
Compared to Han Xuenai, he was nothing.
However, a 22 year old Nascent Soul Stage martial artist appearing within the territory of the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom was sufficient to cause people to be extremely shocked.
"He broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage?"
Huang Ji looked at Duan Lingtian with an expression of disbelief, and his eyes had a slight trace of coldness.
He knew clearly in his heart.
Now that Duan Lingtian had broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage at such an age, with the character of his Master who'd always loved talents as if they were his life, he would surely gift the Jade Origin Fruit to Duan Lingtian.
At this moment, his eyes seemed to be enveloped in a layer of ice.
"Duan Lingtian."
As expected, Linghu Jin Hong passed the spirit fruit in his hand to Duan Lingtian. "After consuming this Jade Origin Fruit, your cultivation ought to be sufficient to break through to the peak of the second level of the Nascent Soul Stage … I believe that in another three years, you'll surely be able to win the greatest honor for our Seven Star Sword Sect in the next Martial Competition of the five great sects!"
"Sect Leader … You want to gift this Jade Origin Fruit to me?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned.
Although he recognized that the spirit fruit in Linghu Jin Hong's hand was a Jade Origin Fruit, he'd never imagined that Linghu Jin Hong would gift it to him.
After all, Linghu Jin Hong had a personal disciple at the Nascent Soul Stage.
For a moment, he couldn't help but glance at Huang Ji.
But he noticed that when Huang Ji, who'd always been incomparably cold and indifferent to him, looked at him with an additional sheen of jealousy.
Duan Lingtian was able to guess the reason.
"Of course it's for you."
Linghu Jin Hong nodded with an expression as if it was a matter of course. "This Jade Origin Fruit was something I obtained by accident when I went deep into the primeval forest half a month ago … A few days ago, I intended to look for you and gift this Jade Origin Fruit to you, but I wasn't able to find you."
Huang Ji's face sank.
He never imagined that the reason his Master looked for Duan Lingtian anxiously these past few days was actually for the sake of gifting this Jade Origin Fruit to Duan Lingtian.
After all, before today, even he didn't know of the existence of the Jade Origin Fruit.
For a moment, flames of jealousy burned in Huang Ji's heart.
Duan Lingtian's brows raised when he heard what Linghu Jin Hong said.
Only he and the two little girls by his side knew of his place of cultivation, the stalactite cave.
Without his permission, the two little girls would absolutely not reveal the secret of the stalactite cave to anyone else.
Including their Master.
"Thank you, Sect Leader."
Duan Lingtian didn't refuse and extended his hand to receive the Jade Origin Fruit.
To the current him, this Jade Origin Fruit had an extraordinary meaning, and it was sufficient to allow his cultivation to directly break through to the next level.
At the same time that he received the Jade Origin Fruit, Duan Lingtian could feel traces of heaviness.
He knew clearly in his heart that at the same time that he received this Jade Origin Fruit, it also meant that he shouldered a responsibility.
"During the Martial Competition this time, I'll let the Sect Leader know that … Giving this Jade Origin Fruit to me was absolutely not a wrong choice!"
Duan Lingtian thought in his heart.
"Go. After consuming this Jade Origin Fruit and breaking through to the second level of the Nascent Soul Stage, don't cultivate anymore, so as to avoid missing the opportunity to go participate in the Martial Competition this time. "
Linghu Jin Hong swept his hand horizontally and his sleeve fluttered as he spoke slowly.
Second level of the Nascent Soul Stage?
Duan Lingtian neither agreed nor disagreed when he heard what Linghu Jin Hong said.
Does this Sect Leader really think that I'm only at the first level of the Nascent Soul Stage now?
"Yes."
But Duan Lingtian didn't explain any further, and he replied before turning around and leaving.
When he left, Duan Lingtian was able to feel a burning gaze of jealousy flashing towards him from behind.
He didn't need to turn around to be able to guess who it was.
The owner of that gaze was precisely Huang Ji!
After leaving Dubhe Hall, Duan Lingtian left Dubhe Peak and returned to Megrez Peak.
"Jade Origin Fruit … With this Jade Origin Fruit, my cultivation will step into a new world!"
Duan Lingtian's face revealed a brilliant smile.
"Sect Leader, it won't be long before I'll let you know how correct your decision to give the Jade Origin Fruit to me today was!"
Duan Lingtian silently thought in his heart.
The Sect Leader, Linghu Jin Hong, gave this Jade Origin Fruit to him and not to his personal disciple, Huang Ji. Obviously, he'd gone through a period of careful consideration ….
Of course, Duan Lingtian knew that the reason Linghu Jin Hong didn't give the Jade Origin Fruit to Huang Ji didn't mean that he wasn't good to Huang Ji.
Conversely, since Huang Ji was his personal disciple, in terms of feelings, no one was able to compare to Huang Ji's position in his heart.
Today, Linghu Jin Hong making such a decision was undoubtedly abandoning his personal feelings, and everything was for the sake of the Seven Star Sword Sect.
After all, besides being a Master, he was also the Sect Leader.
Every decision he made was likely to affect the entire sect!
After returning to the stalactite cave and sitting on the stone platform, Duan Lingtian withdrew the Jade Origin Fruit and swallowed it in a few mouthfuls.
The juice of the Jade Origin Fruit was icy cold when it entered his mouth, and it fused into Duan Lingtian's body before spreading out.
Duan Lingtian closed his eyes.
