Return of Supreme
Emperor
Chapter 38: Congratulations
All the core disciples have returned and what's more?
Mo Ru is now at the celestial realm
Long Feng is also at the celestial realm
Tian Zemin is still at 3rd stage of the celestial realm but he will soon step into 4thd stage
Cheng Qiang is still at the celestial realm
And
Hu Shuchun, is also now at the celestial realm
Total 5 celestial realm disciples are now in the sect, which is no doubt something way big then they all could have ever imagined
Mo Ru and Long Feng were stuck at the peak of spirit realm for more than 2 years (their age is around 21) and Tian Zemin, the genius had been stuck at the 3rd stage of the celestial realm 4 years (age around 22)
And still, there had been no hope to step further into their cultivation as there was nothing that was giving them a push to move up
But, after the appearance of Hu Shuchun and Cheng Qiang, things have changed which is well known by all elders
After all, more competition means more improvement
The sect master, Peng Tu personally called all core disciples to his place and welcomed them
"Finally, our sect's glory will return" he said to them all
Having 4 celestial realms is already not something small, though as compared to no.1 sect in the continent/world, it may be not that great but still it is enough to make them stand firm
. . .
After all those warm welcome, by sect juniors, all core disciple leave the place to meet their family, they will come back in one week
Cheng Qiang and Hu Shuchun also received warm welcomes for many disciples, as after getting into the celestial realm, it seems like now no one hates them
One thing that made them all (core disciples) shocked when the returned from their training is that this year, ranking battle which took place a few months before had a winner they never imagined
Song Shi, a former outer disciple and at just 3rd stage of the soul realm defeated many inner disciples at spirit realms.
And all of her battles were literally one-sided victory
Still, there is more
She uses a GuZheng in her battle which is way more than shocking than a scarf used by Hu Shuchun, it's not like she doesn't use a sword, she had used sword much time but her GuZheng is the main weapon
Hu Shuchun and Cheng Qiang had already guessed the person behind teaching Song Shi this creative thing
After this, they leave the place and walked towards Cheng Qiang's house as Qin Shi Huang was not there among various other disciples to welcome them
They were also in shock when they come to know that Qin Shi Huang had lost all battles in the ranking, which was really hard to believe
After some time, they reach near the house of Cheng Qiang
But as soon as they reach his house, they smelled something very sweet.
In front of the house was a big table and on that table, various meat pieces and other food's item were put
*door opens*
The door opens up and from the house, a very handsome man appears. His beauty is enough to even make a man feel weird for him.
"Welcome back" Qin Shi Huang/Mu Yuanjun said to his friend while holding a bowl of soup in his hand
Hu Shuchun smiled and helped him carry the bowl and other utensils
After that, they all sat on the table
"Let's talk about our journey so far, some other time. The food is hot so let's eat it first and enjoy our reunion" Mo Yuanjun said and thus all of them began eating food
After that, they had a chat all day till night and then Hu Shuchun left for her home
The whole night, Cheng Qiang told him about his and Hu Shuchun's journey so far
Cheng Qiang also showed that now he can manifest the aura of his beast and even use a few energy-based attacks
As for Hu Shuchun, she has fused 2 beasts, one is a green spider which has increased her senses way too sharp and the 2nd beast is a butterfly beast
He told that Hu Shuchun is still not able to manifest the power of that beast but if she is able to manifest it, she will have a very strong defense and could cover a large area in her senses, as she could control other butterfly and also disperse into the butterfly to escape
This skill was just way too amazing as it sounds
Disappearing and re-appearing, with the help of butterfly, sound like a character from Naru*o anime
. . .
Next day-
Mo Yuanjun has listened about them and their journey so far, now it's time for them to listen to what Qin Shi Huang had been doing so far
Thus he started telling them about his journey so far, from teaching those outer disciples to teaching village kids
Not the whole story in deep, but just an over the layout
And after hearing this, they both were like "…."
They had been killing beasts each and every single day, putting their life on the line to work hard every single second
But on the other hand, Qin Shi Huang used this whole time in helping other disciples in their growth; he didn't spend time for himself but rather for other
Also, after coming to know that he has around 2 million spirit stones, they felt quite ashamed
As they didn't have anything to give him as a gift when he had done so much for them, so they planned to give him spirit stones
But so far, they were able to collect only over a million, so they were quite sad
Still, Qin Shi Huang accepted it with a big smile as he told them "I have some big plans for the future so I need these money, thanks"
Everything came back to normal
. . .
After this, the trio is back and started visiting the house of Qin Shi Huang where 30 kids from the village are trained
And the moment they went inside they all were shocked to see what was before their eyes
"haaa"
*whooo*
"haaaa"
*whooo*
30 kids, moving each and every part of their body in full unison with not even a single second of lag
And the way they moved their fist, the way they moved their legs up and down, and the way they shout, everything was filled up of confidence and reflected their hard works
To ordinary people, it will look simple, but Hu Shuchun and Cheng Qiang, who were at the celestial realm, could feel the aura of those young kids as firm as stones
It was really hard to believe that these kids are already not cultivators
Wan Zhou, the teacher, greeted them with a big smile on his face which is unusual as he doesn't respect Mo Yuanjun much, given his cultivation realm is only a flesh and bone realm.
But the city lord himself appointed him, so he couldn't do anything funny (as city lords guards were around) and just did what he was told but after seeing the people brought by Mo Yuanjun
He was stunned to the core, as to bring the celestial realm is not something small.
Both of them were enough strong to squeeze Wan Zhou as a small ant or berry.
So respect them
Mo Yuanjun didn't waste any time and bring out various herbs out
He told the kids "from today onwards, every once in a week you all will be taking an herbal bath, as you all will step into cultivators path very soon"
"yay" hearing this, all kids became happy
After arranging few things here and there and making new rules for herbal bath, the trio left the place
. . .
Time passed by as usual and then a week passed and also the day came when 4 disciples will be chosen for the sect representation, in the future sect's ranking battle
3 will be the main face of the sect and the other one will be an extra, so if something bad happened, there won't be a big issue
At first, many believed that the disciple that will win will be from Tian Zemin, Long Feng, Mo Ru Cheng Qiang and Hu Shuchun
But then again, this year's ranking battle won by Song Shi is also on the line and she is now at spirit realm, so as many other disciples also who performed way better than any experienced one
So nothing much could be said here, but still, it is said that the sect elders will still choose someone form celestial realm only
But then again, all disciples, not inner or outer, even sect teachers and elders are looking forward to a dark horse named 'Qin Shi Huang'
The sole person who taught around 50 disciples, it is now a known fact as all outer disciples have themselves told the sect and created/found talents one after another
Including Hu Shuchun and Cheng Qiang
Qin Shi Huang performance so far had been not that great and he also remains aloof from the sect but still, he had become a person full of mystery
And then his announcement that he wills serious fight in this battle had attracted many disciples attention, especially female
Some said it's nothing more than a publicity stunt and some said he is just faking
But still, all of them want to see, is he really strong as those outer disciples say or it's all a story
One more thing that is going around the sect is that Qin Shi Huang lost his cultivation in a dungeon raid; so many disciples felt like there won't be anything special
. . .
Battle day-
The announcer had announced the battle for the chosen disciple who will represent the sect
And the first battle is between no other than Mo Ru and Qin Shi Huang
"You have been safe for a long time, but not anymore" Mo Ru said as he held her sword firmly.
"Begin the battle"
. . .
Who will be the face of the sect?
Who will be the winner?
. . .
To be continued-
