The Ancient Realm Goddess
Yan Xiao's
Behind the academy, Qing Yue'er took a deep breath. Sweat had soaked his back, even his throat had become dry. However, happiness clearly emanated from the look in his eyes. Yes, it was because he had just made a breakthrough.
Originally he only wanted to do physical training, but the air behind the academy turned out to have more spiritual energy. He can't just waste it. He had finally put it to good use to achieve a breakthrough.
He changed his position to lie on a large rock. He looked up and saw the sky which was already late in the afternoon. A gentle wind swept over the bamboo leaves and flew them until they landed on Qing Yue'er's hair. He took. With a flick of a finger, the still-green bamboo leaf lengsung shot out in any direction.
Suddenly he heard the sound of approaching footsteps. Since he did not want to be found finally his hand moved to create a hiding formation. He turned his head and looked at the two male disciples who were walking over.
Qing Yue'er could vaguely hear them chatting with each other. After hearing one name he was finally interested in eavesdropping.
"You know, tonight senior Yan will finally come out of his closed door meditation."
"What's the deal with me? After all, every time he came out, his cultivation had increased again. Do you remember at what level the last time he entered meditation was?"
"I think back then he was at level 9 of the celestial realm. He must have entered the worldly realm. Heaven, isn't that almost rivaling an elder here?"
"That's why the academy pampered him so much, it's because he is indeed talented ...."
The two of them simply passed past the position where Qing Yue'er was. Perhaps if they found out there was a beautiful girl watching them on the rock, they would be shocked. However, because Qing Yue'er was not currently looking so they did not know about it.
Now Qing Yue'er finally understood. Senior Yan who was spoken of by the two disciples was definitely Yan Xiao, the granddaughter of the Daoist Black Three. Yan Xiao's strength level was originally at level 9, and it was a level that made the other disciples respect him a lot. It was only fitting that Qing Yue'er was directly put into the senior disciple ranks, it was because her strength was on par with that of a senior here.
"It just so happens that he will come out tonight, it looks like I can go straight to him," Qing Yue'er muttered. Then he went to clean himself up.

When it was dark, there was a strange appearance in the night sky. There was a light emanating out from one of the male student dormitories. The light was bright and certainly attracted many students of the academy. They all came out to see the light.
"This must be senior Yan! He had actually achieved a breakthrough!" shouted one of the students.
"This is great, finally our stock of earthly naturalists has increased again!"
Qing Yue'er walked out of the room. He stared at the center of the light that also caught his attention. So the signs of a breakthrough to the earthly realm was that one would leave a bright light in the night sky. That light is a sign of purification for man to release mortality little by little.
In the mundane realm one would indeed be trained to begin letting go of worldly smelling things. Like how someone will gradually release 7 emotions and 6 human desires. If they had already managed to let go of those things then they would not be so difficult when breaking through to the heavenly realms.
Qing Yue'er was preparing to leave when Luo Qingqi suddenly held her back. "Where are you going?"
"I just want to get some fresh air for a while," Qing Yue'er replied.
Luo Qingqi squinted her eyes. This whole day he had no idea where Qing Yue'er was going. He had not seen her anywhere, and now the girl was intending to leave again? Didn't he feel tired and rested in the dormitory? Luo Qingqi became curious, exactly what was Qing Yue'er doing?
However, he did not forbid the girl from leaving. He let her, after all they did not have such a close relationship.
Qing Yue'er walked out of the dormitory. He wanted to sneak in to meet with Yan Xiao. However, before he could go far, suddenly someone came blocking his way.
"Huh, we finally meet again," Lan Ying said happily. He was someone who was still so dislikeful of Qing Yue'er's existence.
Actually he felt astonished, at the time when many people hated him, why did Qing Yue'er still dare to go wandering around alone? Was the girl not afraid that someone would come to teach her a lesson? Like now, for example.
Lan Ying crossed her hands and looked at Qing Yue'er with scorn. "New disciples, aren't you afraid someone will come after you?"
"What's your name? Lan Ying isn't it? Aiya, why are you so insistent on bothering me?" qing Yue'er asked with a puff.
"Don't I already say to call me senior?!" exclamation Lan Ying.
Qing Yue'er sighed. It was already no longer remembered how many times he had met people like Lan Ying. Although they fought a lot and opposed it, but how many people managed to mess it up? He wanted to shout at others to not bother him, but it would only end in vain.
Lan Ying snorted. He simply looked at Qing Yue'er as a joke. Why is there someone so brave? "Peace with you? Don't hope!"
Qing Yue'er stared intently at Lan Ying. He did not want to waste his time on narrow-minded people like that woman. He let out his sharp aura and emphasized to Lan Ying.
"You ...." Lan Ying was completely shocked. He rounded his eyes when he found himself being suppressed by the new disciple. He even felt goosebumps by the aura that was so cold and sharp.
Qing Yue'er grinned. He waved his hand and instantly Lan Ying's figure was instantly thrown away crashing into a stone monument. That woman was at the level 8 of the celestial realm and that meant that she was one level below her. Of course he could defeat him easily.
"I've given you the chance to choose, but you've chosen to profit against me. Do you still want to continue?" Qing Yue'er asked coldly.
The person asked was silent. Perhaps Lan Ying still felt shocked, or even frightened. Yes, he did not expect that it turned out that the new disciple was stronger than him. Is this something that makes sense? Or is he himself unreasonable?
Qing Yue'er finally left Lan Ying just like that. Right now he was more concerned about Yan Xiao who was about to step out of his meditation. It felt like he could not be relieved if he still had the mandate from others.
Lan Ying coughed after seeing Qing Yue'er leave. In a hurry, he also left that place. He returned to the dormitory and told his close friend to stop bothering Qing Yue'er.
"Lan Ying, are you serious?"
"I'm not lying to you. Do you know why I got hurt? It was because of that new disciple who had thrown me with just a wave of his hand. Do you think I want to trick you into glorifying him?" Lan Ying sneered at her friend.
"It makes sense what you say. Then we no longer need to make trouble with him. Although I'm not happy, but it seems that the academy side has also considered things a lot."
"Actually if you want, I think we still have a plan that might destroy it" said another person.
"Whatis that? Don't joke."
"You know that the hunt for spirit beasts will make us enter a whole new territory and we don't know how dangerous it is. Maybe you can figure out a way to do another plan."
Lan Ying and the others who were already feeling the surrender finally came back to find the light. It seems like they have other reliable plans.

The door that had been closed for a long time finally opened again. The figure that many others were waiting for came out from behind the door. He was a man who had a friendly face as well as a delight. Although not so extraordinary but his aura makes others will feel happy to hang out with him.
"Yan Xiao, congratulations on finally making your breakthrough!" the friends who were waiting for him at the door.
Yan Xiao smiled and patted his friends on the shoulder. "This is amazing. Looks like I'm gonna have to go home to see my grandfather." He had not returned for a long time and his grandfather would definitely be surprised to see his only grandson had already grown that much.
"You should have come home to see him. I think he's been dying to see you" said his friend.
"I'll think about it. Any news of what happened during my closing?" asked Yan Xiao.
"Next week there will be a hunt for spirit beasts, we must come!"
"Oh, not just that. Yesterday there were three extraordinary girls who simultaneously entered the academy. Do you know, one of them could even subdue Xie Wuqing!"
"Xie Wuqing's? Who her? Why did I just hear it?" yan Xiao asked confusedly.
"That's because you've been locked up for too long, so you don't know who he is."
After that they began to talk about many things, until finally time was late enough. Yan Xiao decided to return to her room. He needed to live a quiet time after quite a long time grappling for a breakthrough.
However, just as he closed the door, he was startled by the female figure sitting inside his room. "Who are you?"
