Chapter 154: Chu Yuan's Splitting Wind Palm (Seeking Monthly Votes)
```
Misty Mountain, Wayless Sect.
Within Chu Yuan Palace.
After preparing for several days, Chu Yuan was ready to attempt another breakthrough.
Absorbing Spiritual Energy.
Gathering it in the Dantian.
Make one determined effort to break through…
Chu Yuan sat cross-legged on the cushion in the palace, proceeding with the steps of the breakthrough.
In his observation.
He could discern.
After the Spiritual Energy gathered in the Dantian within his body.
The bottleneck of the Early Qi Refining Stage had obviously loosened a bit.
Just follow the steps.
He would definitely be able to break through to the Mid Qi Refining Stage steadily.
Once he reached the Mid Qi Refining Stage, together with the solid foundation he had built from his thorough research of the Basic Cultivation Techniques of the Qi Refinement Stage.
Reaching the Mid Qi Refining Stage, he could rival the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Battle beyond his level.
This was a point that made Chu Yuan exceedingly happy for a long time.
According to common sense, those who could battle beyond their level were prodigies.
Although he was only a Qi Refinement Stage battling beyond to the Foundation Establishment Realm, it was still considered beyond his level.
Surpassing levels means being a prodigy!
After thinking for a moment, Chu Yuan suppressed the thought.
He put his whole heart into the breakthrough.
Under his control.
The Spiritual Energy began to assault the bottleneck.
The bottleneck became looser and looser...
It was close...
He was about to reach the Mid Qi Refining Stage!
Chu Yuan closed his eyes and continued to strike at the bottleneck.
Crack...
The bottleneck loosened even more, and a crisp sound came from within his body.
Chu Yuan could even feel the Mana of the Mid Qi Refining Stage.
Just at the critical juncture.
A voice came from outside the hall into his ears.
"Respected Master, your disciple Ye Luo seeks an audience for an urgent matter, please grant me an appearance!"
This voice arrived right on cue.
Chu Yuan was just one step away from the Mid Qi Refining Stage; the bottleneck could no longer restrain him.
In this critical uncritical brink of breakthrough, he abruptly stopped.
Chu Yuan's face darkened.
He was so damn close; why did this Ye Luo come back again, and at this crucial moment, interrupt him!!! Experience more content on empire
This disciple must be seeking death!!!
And what exactly is his Realm now??
Early Qi Refinement Stage or Mid Stage? It seems to be neither the former nor the latter.
Besides anger, Chu Yuan was also dumbfounded.
He didn't know what to make of his Realm.
Early-Mid Qi Refinement Stage, break it in half??
Chu Yuan took a deep breath, utterly puzzled about his own Realm.
But that did not impede his rage.
This disciple had better have a good explanation.
Otherwise, he would let this disciple understand what the fury of the Qi Refinement Stage was like.
Chu Yuan slowly stood up, opened the doors of the palace, and walked out.
Upon looking, he could see that figure.
Still kneeling in front of the hall.
Just like the last time.
Indeed, to be precise, everything was exactly the same as last time, the breakthrough was interrupted in the same manner.
The kneeling Ye Luo, upon seeing his master opening the doors of the hall, bowed once again.
"Disciple Ye Luo, greets the Respected Master."
Ye Luo said respectfully.
"Luo Er, what is it that you have?"
Chu Yuan revealed a 'kind' smile.
His gaze never stopped sizing up Ye Luo.
This disciple seems to be in the Divinity Transformation Realm?
I'm seeking advice.
Is there any possibility for the Qi Refinement Stage to knock down the Divinity Transformation Realm?
Urgent, waiting online.
On the other side, the Ye Luo kneeling on the ground failed to notice the fury in the depths of his master's eyes.
"Respected Master, I indeed have a matter to attend to, concerning the grand competition of the ten-thousand sects."
Ye Luo answered obediently.
```
"Oh, the Great Sect Competition, huh, come in and we can talk."
Chu Yuan said amiably, pushing the palace doors wider open.
Upon hearing this,
Ye Luo quickly stood up and walked into the hall.
Chu Yuan silently stood behind Ye Luo.
Gathering spiritual energy in his hands.
He launched a Splitting Wind Palm at Ye Luo's back.
The attack didn't reach Ye Luo.
An invisible force dissolved Chu Yuan's attack just three centimeters away from Ye Luo's clothes.
Ye Luo seemed to sense something, turned around to look at his Respected Master, frowned slightly, and looked around the palace.
"Respected Master, do you have some kind of wind-gathering formation in this palace?"
"Why does it feel so chilly?"
Ye Luo asked curiously.
Chu Yuan: "..."
I've trained in the Splitting Wind Palm for a month, and you're telling me it feels chilly??
Thanks, I feel so offended.
"Speak, what is it."
Chu Yuan felt hopeless.
Even at the Qi Refinement Stage, I can't even get close to this guy.
Sneaking up on him and still can't hit him.
"Respected Master, someone from Zhongzhou has come and wishes to invite Respected Master to participate in the Great Sect Competition. This is the invitation, please accept it, Respected Master. Whether to participate or not is entirely up to Respected Master to decide."
Ye Luo took out the Invitation Orb from his storage ring and handed it to Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan, still wearing that 'affable' smile, took the orb to inspect it.
Tried to infuse mana into it.
But found it was of no use.
How does this thing open??
Is the Cultivation Realm so sophisticated now that I don't even know how to open an invitation?
"Luo Er, you have a look at it."
Chu Yuan decisively handed the orb back to Ye Luo.
Could he admit that he didn't know how to open it?
Does he have no shame?
Chu Yuan gave the orb back to Ye Luo, his gaze fixed on him intently.
He wanted to see how Ye Luo would open it.
The orb returned to Ye Luo's hands.
Ye Luo hesitated, glanced at his own Respected Master, didn't ask any questions, moved his mana, and the invitation immediately opened.
Streams of information rushed to enter his mind.
But Ye Luo stopped them.
With a thought,
he condensed the information back into an orb and handed it back to his master.
"Respected Master, this is the invitation. Those guests from Zhongzhou made it clear that they want Respected Master to read it, so please, Respected Master, take a look first."
Ye Luo spoke slowly.
Chu Yuan, standing at the side of the hall, blinked a few times.
So, how does this orb exactly open?
Did Ye Luo infuse it with mana just now? He infused mana too, but why was there no reaction?
Could it be that an invitation discards someone at the Qi Refinement Stage?
Chu Yuan fell silent for a moment.
Then, his palm touched the orb.
Streams of information instantly surfaced in his mind.
The Great Sect Competition of Zhongzhou!
Gathering Sects from eighty-two provinces of the continent!
With this invitation, one could head to Zhongzhou in five months to participate in the Great Sect Competition.
The amount of information was overwhelming.
Chu Yuan only caught some key points,
such as the location of the Great Sect Competition.
Or the rewards for the Great Sect Competition...
When Chu Yuan saw the rewards for the Great Sect Competition, his spirit soared.
Within the orb, a section detailed the ranking rewards of the Great Sect Competition, from highest to lowest, with varying prizes.
Chu Yuan decisively looked at the lowest...
The lowest was the fiftieth thousandth place.
The fiftieth thousandth place could obtain a thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones, one Low-grade Magical Artifact...
Top-grade Spirit Stones!!!
A Low-grade Spirit Stone could be exchanged for a hundred taels of gold.
A Middle-Grade Spirit Stone could be exchanged for a hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones.
A Top-grade Spirit Stone could be exchanged for a hundred Middle-Grade Spirit Stones.
How much money is that, a thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones??
Chu Yuan felt he could be crushed to death by gold!!!
