Wang Baole was carrying the large pail in the Spirit Breath Village. His hill-like figure was advancing swiftly in the skies. Perhaps it was due to his extensive gains that his body seemed to have been weighed down significantly. Even the magnetic field pulling him seemed to be several times stronger compared to that of others.
By this point, Wang Baole had already recovered from the torrent of emotions that he had felt when he was in the fragment mountain. Thinking of his gains, Wang Baole’s suppressed emotions instantly became especially excited.
I made it!

Looking at his pail, the surrounding puppets, and the corpses, a look of excitement emerged from Wang Baole’s eyes.
When I get out, I’ll definitely throw everyone into a state of surprise and let them know just how impressive Wang Baole is!


With that thought, Wang Baole began laughing out loud.
However, in reality, outside of the Spirit Breath Village, the masses from the four major Dao Colleges, as well as the accompanying cultivators, were already shocked. That was especially so for the four Chancellors. They had already waged a bet with each other, and as time passed, with reference to timings from the past, they estimated the return times of the students and grew increasingly alert as the time neared, paying careful attention to the entrance.
After all, due to the glow from the fragment mountain within the Spirit Breath Village, which indicated that a change might have occurred, they were slightly nervous. However, after garnering the attention of their respective Dao Colleges, and with the arrival of reinforcements, their nervousness had mildly abated.
Soon, the first batch of students from the respective Dao Colleges who had broken through and attained True Breath were ejected from the entrance, surrounded by magnetic forces. The majority of them had achieved a breakthrough when they were below the five-inch stage, and even though they had some gains, they were not impressive.
Regardless of that, they were True Breath cultivators. After they emerged, people from their respective Dao Colleges immediately stepped forward to check on their injuries. While recording their gains, they also conveyed their congratulations and encouragement.
At the same time, regarding the transformations to the fragment mountain and the changes that occurred following that, the elites from the various Dao Colleges as well as the Chancellors came to know of some news from the people who have first emerged, and they all heaved sighs of relief, knowing that no accidents had occurred within the mountain.
In addition, they gave more details of what had happened within the Spirit Breath Village. News of how Zhao Yameng had reached the eight-inch stage along with Li Yi made the Chancellors from the four major Dao Colleges elated, as they began to make guesses on the number of people from their Dao Colleges who had attained the eight-inch Spirit Roots.
The only issue was that these people did not have a full understanding of the situation, which made the information they gave incomplete.
However, they all mentioned Wang Baole, resulting in shock and surprise emerging in the hearts of the Chancellors from the four major Dao Collages as well as the masses.

Chancellor, Wang Baole has gone overboard! He used some trick to make thousands of Spirit Roots fated with him, transforming into his image. Didn’t all of you see? Initially, figures of Wang Baole were everywhere!




He is simply a jinx! Every single Spirit Root he saw transformed into him! If not for him, I definitely would have reached seven inches!


That fellow, being chased by thousands of Spirit Roots turned the entire mystic realm into chaos!

The anger and indignation in the words of the first batch of students immediately threw everyone outside into a daze. Very quickly, the Chancellors from the three other Dao Colleges looked toward the old physician.

It’s not his fault that he was fated with the Spirit Roots,
the old physician said as his fist covered his mouth and he cleared his throat. However, he was actually shaken by the news. He had expected Wang Baole to cause trouble, but he had never guessed that he could cause trouble to such an extent.
Hearing that, the Chancellors from the three other Dao College remained silent. Even though the incident seemed off, Wang Baole was not a student from their Dao College after all, and it was inappropriate for them to say much.
Gradually the second, third, and subsequent batch of students emerged. The objects that they were carrying grew in number, and when it became apparent that pills and live plants were among the items, exclamations of surprise arose.

Pills!


Gosh, he actually got a plant from there, and it’s even one bearing fruit!

Seeing how a commotion had arisen, the Chancellor from White Deer Dao College laughed heartily as he looked gloatingly at the Chancellors from the three other Dao Colleges, whose facial expressions were awful.

How’s that? My student from White Deer Dao College is not bad, huh?



The old physician harrumphed and did not speak. The Chancellors from the two other Dao Colleges grew solemn, choosing not to look at the proud White Deer Dao College Chancellor. However, their minds were filled with thoughts as pills and plants were exceedingly rare, especially plants.
Even though the focus of their bets was not on the amount of resources that the students from their respective Dao Colleges managed to collect, in reality, that was where the main attention on the opening of the mystic realm was. It decided the distribution of resources in the alliance formed by the four major Dao Colleges.
However, calmness soon returned to the hearts of the Chancellors from White Deer Branch College and Holy River Dao College. Even though plants were not present within the gains of the subsequent batches of returning students, there were still pills, and they also trumped on the number of objects that they had, which helped to return smiles to their faces.
The old physician was the only one who was depressed, for the objects brought out by the students from Ethereal Dao College were significantly fewer.
The calabash brought back by Zhuo Yifan only momentarily calmed the old physician down. He was still troubled over how his own students were underperforming.
Seeing that, Zhuo Yifan swallowed the news about the corpses that he had initially wanted to relay. He did not know who eventually gained possession of the corpse in the end, and he did not dare mention a word of it.

Old Lu, don’t be troubled. Students who are far more capable than those here have yet to return, so you must be more confident in yourself,
the Chancellor from White Deer Dao College said with a laugh as he patted the old physician’s shoulder while the two other Chancellors also began their sarcastic commentary.
Listening to the words of ‘consolation’ from the three individuals, the old physician harrumphed. He was indignant but also helpless.
However, not long after, the feeling of helplessness dissipated. Zhao Yameng’s return threw everyone around into indescribable shock.

A corpse!




Gosh, there’s actually a corpse!

A loud commotion exploded. Not only were the Chancellors from the four major Dao Colleges dumbfounded, even the four highly-ranked, highly-trained people of prestige and ranking behind them were amazed. They all stepped forward to take a look. In reality, corpses had been discovered by people in the past, but the majority of them had been severely damaged, making such a complete one even rarer than the plant.
In his exhilaration, the old physician looked gloatingly at the Chancellors from the three other Dao Colleges, who each carried an awful expression, and began to speak.

How’s it? Students from Ethereal Dao College are not bad, huh? One single corpse can trump all the gains from White Deer Dao College. However, don’t be disheartened, for the more capable students have not returned yet. Stay confident and hopeful.

As he spoke, the old physician looked approvingly at Zhao Yameng and praised her. Noticing her injuries, he immediately retrieved some pills with concern.

Chancellor, I was able to retrieve this corpse thanks to the help granted from Zhuo Yifan and Chen Mingyu. However, above all, without Wang Baole, I would not have been able to bring the corpse out,
Zhao Yameng said as she received the pills.

Wang Baole?
That was the second time that the Chancellors had heard of Wang Baole’s name. They were surprised and grew more alert as the Chancellor from White Deer Dao College let out a low murmur.

Old Lu, most of the capable students from White Deer Dao College have not emerged. I believe that they will return soon, and they will not disappoint me!


That’s right, Old Lu, don’t be anxious.


Old Lu, you…



Looking enviously at the corpse, the three Chancellors spoke one after another. Before they could even complete their sentences, sounds of surprise suddenly emerged from the entrance of Spirit Breath Village.
Numerous figures returned one after another. Some were still awake, but some of them were unconscious. If they had merely fainted, it would not have mattered much, but the fact was that he was surrounded by three puppets!
If they had been surrounded by the puppets in a normal matter, it would not have been an issue. However, the positions of the three puppets were extremely suggestive, and their expressions were exaggeratingly bizarre as they made disturbing noises.
Their moans, coupled with their positions, immediately threw everyone into shock as if a whole new world had been opened up before their eyes.

It’s Wu Fen!


Gosh, that’s Wu Fen from Holy River Dao College. A rising star, someone who has attain an eight-inch Spirit Root!


What on Earth happened to him?

Zhuo Yifan stared with his eyes wide. Zhuo Yifan and Chen Mingyu, who had returned subsequently, each inhaled deeply in shock. Even Zhao Yameng, who had always kept her cool, was thrown into a daze.
The trio looked toward each other and saw the complex emotions and doubts in each other’s eyes.
The Chancellors from the four major Dao Colleges, upon noticing the scene, were all dumbfounded, especially Holy River Dao College’s Chancellor, whose eyes seemed to be falling out of their sockets.
Before they could even react, more people returned from the exit. There was someone within them who was also unconscious, and even before he neared, disturbing sounds reached their ears, making everyone surprised beyond words. As they turned to take a look, they saw the unconscious black-faced youth being surrounded by the puppets.

This is too much!


Were they robbed? It’s fine if they were robbed, but why did the robber even do that to them?

The Chancellors from Holy River Dao College and White Deer Branch College were infuriated. They wanted to step forward to destroy the puppets, but once contact was made, the puppets immediately released signs that they were going to implode, and that instantly made the duo think twice
The old physician tried hard to remain indifferent. He stayed silent while the Chancellor from White Deer Dao College beside him began clicking his tongue.

Hah, the person who did this seems to be quite creative. The workmanship of the puppets is not bad.
He had just finished his sentence when disturbing sounds were heard yet again. The unconscious Li Yi then appeared in front of everyone.
The White Deer Dao College Chancellor was dumbfounded. Naturally, he recognized Li Yi as she was the cream of the crop of White Deer Dao College’s newest batch of students. He stared hard and growled,
Who! Who did this?

As the trio roared, they noticed something on the black-faced youth’s body.

Chancellors, there’s… there’s a note here…
