In the Study Hall of the Zenith Palace.

The superior sector of the hall.

Most students that were here were outstanding disciples in the sect. They usually came from rich families, and half of them were offspring of the leaders of the sect.

Li Zhang’s words immediately triggered their curiosity.

“Senior Brother? Which one?”

“The Eldest Senior Brother?”

“Which stage did he reach? Tell us!”

“Higher than Senior Brother Ao Xue’s stage?”

“But this is only his third year in the sect!”

The disciples hurriedly commented.

“You guys have such a narrow view,” Li Zhang sneered.

“Hey, Li Zhang, what do you mean? Am I wrong? I think he’s at the stage of Core Formation.”

“I think he hasn’t reached that stage yet.”

“It’s hard to say since none of you have met Eldest Senior Brother in person yet. I think Eldest Senior Brother’s cultivation must be very deep.”

“True. You guys are just jealous of Eldest Senior Brother. Junior Sister Hong Rou and I were lucky enough to manage to see Eldest Senior Brother in person. He’s like a real celestial deity. He’s peerless.”

“Just say it. The Chief Leader of the Heaven Secrets Sect once said that the Eldest Senior Brother is the most talented cultivator ever. Maybe he reached the stage of Gold Core?”

The heated discussion went on and on, different opinions mingled.

“Don’t keep us guessing. Tell us!” The disciples urged Li Zhang on.

Li Zhang then lowered his voice. “My father told me this, but you all must keep it a secret. Otherwise, I’ll be in big trouble. Understand?”

The look on Li Zhang’s face seemed rather mysterious. He was about to say that it was Liu Qingfeng who told him this information. However, he felt that it was humiliating to tell his friends that he heard the news from his foe.

This version sounded more authentic anyway.

“We won’t tell this to anyone else!”

“You can trust us!”

“Come on! Speak it out!”

They tried not to look too interested, however, they still couldn’t help themselves.

“Listen. Eldest Senior Brother… has reached the stage of Soul Splitting,” Li Zhang said very seriously.

“What? Soul Splitting!?”

“The Soul Splitting stage?”

“You’re joking, right?”

“Impossible!”

“But this is only his third year in the sect!”

“You can’t be serious!”

“This isn’t funny Li Zhang.”

“Eldest Senior Brother’s talent is so impressive!”

“The stage of Soul Splitting! Unbelievable!”

“No wonder the Chief Leader speaks so highly of him.”

Most of the male disciples didn’t believe it at all; however, the female disciples chose to believe Li Zhang’s words.

“I know you guys wouldn’t believe me. You guys have such a narrow view,” Li Zhang’s tone was rather sarcastic as he continued, “Why would I fool you all? My father told me this! Let me ask you guys a few questions:

“First, the Chief Leader’s cultivation is immeasurable and he is likely to ascend to the celestial world soon. Why did such an experienced cultivator accept Eldest Senior Brother to be his student?

“Second, besides the Chief Leader, when Eldest Senior Brother first showed up that day, the rest of the Chief Leaders all wanted to make him their student. Don’t you guys know this?

“Third, why did the Chief Leader of the Heaven Secrets Sect make that certain comment on Eldest Senior Brother?

“Most importantly, when Eldest Senior Brother made his last breakthrough, do you remember that incredible natural phenomenon that was triggered? Don’t you guys remember what was written in ancient books? When a matchless genius blessed by heaven ascends to the celestial world, an unusual phenomenon will appear!

“Eldest Senior Brother’s talent is absolutely peerless in this world. It’s entirely possible for him to reach the Soul Splitting stage in just within three years.

“How you are seeing Eldest Senior Brother right now is like how those ordinary cultivators are seeing you. Most ordinary Qi Refining cultivators can’t reach the Qi Refining stage in three years, but for us, we can at least hit the Foundation Establishment stage within the same time-frame. In their eyes, our achievements seem unbelievable.

“They won’t believe, because they don’t understand. You guys don’t believe it, because you don’t understand. Therefore, I’m saying all of you have very narrow views. Am I wrong?”

Li Zhang’s lecture went on and on, his words sounded very persuasive to the disciples’ ears.

“That sounds… reasonable…”

“Yes, I remember the unusual phenomenon on the red hill I saw with my own eyes the other day!”

“Although Li Zhang tends to be reckless sometimes, he doesn’t talk nonsense. I think it’s actually true.”

“I agree. Otherwise, it’s impossible for Senior Sister Zi Yun to have a crush on Eldest Senior Brother, right?”

Li Zhang’s words persuaded almost everyone here.

Some were still feeling quite suspicious, but they dared not speak out. They were afraid that they would become the targets of public criticism.

“Do you guys hear me? You all must keep this a secret! Promise me! Otherwise, my father’s gonna kick me hard!” At the end of everything, Li Zhang warned them seriously once again.

“Don’t worry. We won’t say anything.”

“You can completely trust me Senior Brother Li. I’ll keep my mouth shut.”

“Me too. Me too.”

They hurriedly nodded and promised him.

Li Zhang took a glance at them. He noticed that some of the outstanding disciples who could rival him looked very upset and discouraged. Somehow, seeing them like this made him really happy.

Wow!

This felt so good!

While in a joyful mood, Li Zhang left the superior sector of the hall.

Then, the rest of the disciples also left.

About an hour later.

In Zenith Heaven, people were discussing everywhere:

“Did you hear it? The matter about Eldest Senior Brother, the Chief Leader’s last student, I heard he reached the Soul Splitting stage!”

“I’m serious! I heard it from one of the elders! Don’t tell other people!”

“Fusion! Eldest Senior Brother reached the Fusion stage! You didn’t know about it? Shame!”

“Which Senior Brother? Come on! Of course it’s the Eldest Senior Brother living on the red hill!”

“Breaking news! Breaking news! The head of Pill Hall said that Eldest Senior Brother is soon ascending to the celestial world! The unusual phenomenon we saw the other day is proof that he passed the heaven test!”

“What? You don’t believe me? I told you that it was the head of Pill Hall who said it!”

“Senior Elder said that Eldest Senior Brother, who has been living on the red hill, has successfully passed the heaven test and is ascending to the celestial world either today or tomorrow! Ascending to the celestial world in just three years! Unbelievable!”

“Oh my! Eldest Senior Brother is ascending to the celestial world tomorrow? During the grand meeting tomorrow, Eldest Senior Brother is going to do it in front of all of us! Don’t miss it!”

“What? Eldest Senior Brother’s already ascended into the celestial world?! No wonder Senior Sister Zi Yun likes him! No wonder he’s the Chief Leader’s last student!”

“You probably won’t believe this. But I heard that Eldest Senior Brother is the incarnation of the founder of Zenith Heaven.”

All kinds of rumors were scattered everywhere in Zenith Heaven.

The entire sect seethed with excitement.

Meanwhile, in a quiet corner in Zenith Heaven.

A few disciples secretly left the area and found a secluded place. They ignited an incense stick and murmured in a low voice,

“This is a Secret message. This is from Zenith Heaven. Lu Changsheng, the Chief Leader’s last immediate student, is estimated to have reached the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Please be alert. The sect should be alert.”

The rumors started to spread everywhere.

However, on the red hill.

Lu Changsheng, the main character of the rumors, just finished a new pill recipe. He had a big smile on his face.

While this was happening, the rumors drifted into the ears of the Senior Leaders in Zenith Heaven.
