Chapter 2015: Advancing in Rank
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
There was a huge commotion over here, and the whole Hidden Sect was shaken up because of it.
“After so many years, he has finally advanced in rank.” The Hidden Sect’s Master, Ning Tian Ya, said emotionally as he looked at the small mountain peak.
“That’s right, after so many years, he has finally let it go.” An old man was analysing the chess game that was on the table. He raised his head and took a glance at the little mountain peak. That person was the boss of the inn in the small town.
“I heard that it was the new disciple that he took in that untied the knot in his heart?” Ning Tian Ya asked.
“Yep, it is that little girl. She is a spirited child.” The shopkeeper said, ” I thought that it would be pretty good if she could help him to get past that incident. I didn’t think that she would even manage to help him sense his rank advancement.”
“This means you’ve seen her before?”
“Yes, she stayed at my place for a few days.” The shopkeeper said.
“A girl that even you are complimenting. It seems like I should meet her too.” Ning Tian Ya was starting to have an interest towards Sima You Yue.
“What are you going to do? You’re scaring the little child for no reason. The shopkeeper said faintly.
“I’ll just not invite her here.” Ning Tian Ya said, “I can just meet her anywhere outside, can’t I?”
“Sure, then you should act as an old cleaner. This way, you definitely won’t scare her.” The shopkeeper teased him.
“This… is not impossible either.”
“You must be bored.”
“Are you not the same? Why else would you run out to act as some shopkeeper.”
“We are the same, so we should not talk about one another.”
Ning Tian Ya looked towards the little mountain peak again, “Looks like he has already succeeded.”
“... General!”
Sima You Yue looked at the commotion, and the corners of her lips lifted.
She didn’t think that he would actually advance in rank.
“I still have some matters to attend to, so I will not be able to host the two of you.”
They had come for any particular reason to begin with. Judging from the situation, they knew that Lu Yan was about to advance in rank, so it was better for them to go. They said their goodbyes and left.
Sima You Yue went to Lu Yan’s courtyard. The most important people from the sect had all come. When they saw her, everyone greeted her.
Even if she did not help Lu Yan advance in rank, she was Lu Yan’s disciple, so her rank was higher than most.
She came to Fu Jing’s side, and asked, “Martial Uncle, based on Master’s current situation, will he be able to succeed?”
“Seeing the situation now, I think he has already succeeded.” Fu Jing said, “He has enough spiritual energy in his body, more than enough, actually. It is only because of the knot in his heart that he hasn’t been able to level up. The energy that he accumulated previously just happens to give him enough power to attack that rank barrier. The whirlpool of spiritual energy is a result of his body being filled with power from his advance in rank.”
“It’s good that he succeeded.”
“But we are also unable to confirm that he has already succeeded. There are many who reached this stage but went back down. He needs to…” Fu Jing felt that his words were cursed. He had yet to finish his sentence before a situation arose.
The energy that was previously strong was beginning to waver. The swirls started to shrink and even showed signs of dissipating.
“Martial Uncle, what’s going on?” Sima You Yue asked.
“The Master needs too much energy to level up, the spiritual energy here is unable to replenish it, so it’s not enough to follow through!” Fu Jing cried out.
Sima You Yue understood what would happen if the spiritual energy was not enough for the follow up. If the energy that Lu Yan absorbed could not be replenished sufficiently, his attempt to advance in rank this time would fail!
“The amount of energy that he absorbed just now was enough for him to level up, so why is there still a situation where there is not enough spiritual energy?” Someone shouted.
“Don’t think so much yet! Quickly, think of how to help the Master replenish his energy!” Fu Jing shouted, “If we could suck the spiritual energy over here that would be great!”
Sima You Yue looked at the swirl that was becoming smaller and smaller. She only hesitated for two seconds, then she took a leap, and reached directly on top of the roof, which happened to be at the centre of the swirl.
“Why did she go over there? She doesn’t think that she can attract the spiritual energy over here, right?!” Liu Xu mocked.
No one knew why Sima You Yue flew there at such a time. Other than getting the surrounding spiritual energy to gather over here faster, doing anything else would not be of use.
“What is she looking at?’
“She is at the top, will it affect the Master from advance in rank? Should we pull her down?”
“Damn! Is the Master’s advance in rank something she can interrupt? The situation is critical now, it’s not a time where she should fool around!” Mo Wei said coldly.
“Wait!” Fu Jing called Liu Xu who was preparing to pull her down, “She’s doing something.”
They watched as Sima You Yue took out an array stone and threw it towards the surrounding area of the house. Many could tell that she was setting up an array.
Mo Wei turned towards Fu Jing, and shouted, “Great Elder, what are you doing? She is fooling around, and you’re letting her do so?”
“She is not affecting the spiritual energy by being on top, so why not just see what she wants to do.” Fu Jing said, “Or are you saying that you have a way to help the Master to draw spiritual energy?”
“I…” Mo Wei was speechless, how could she have any solution now? The spiritual energy would not be gathered here just by listening to her tunes!
“Since you don’t have any ideas, we can only place our hopes on her!” Fu Jing looked at Sima You Yue, hoping that she really had a solution.
Mo Wei had no choice, Fu Jing had already said it this way. It was true that there was not much effect from Sima You Yue standing there, so she could only let her be.
A spirit gathering array. She had set this array up many times. Back then at the Vast Region, she struggled to set it up. Now that she had gotten better at it and knew the array by heart, she managed to set it up quickly.
Soon after, she took out a spirit gathering bead and inserted it into the centre of the array. Once the spirit gathering bead was in position, the whole array started to activate. The people who were present could feel the spiritual energy that was in the surroundings start to gather here. The swirl slowly began to grow bigger.
“Spirit gathering array!” An exclamation came from outside the yard, followed by two people coming out from a space.
“Sect Master Hu, why did you come over here?” Mo Wei greeted them.
She knew them both, they were the Array’s Sect’s Sect Master, Hu Hu, and Seeker Spirit Sect’s Sect Master, Zhu Ni Le.
“We could feel that he was lacking some spirit energy for his rank advancement, so we came to see if we could help with anything. But it seems like we will not be needed.” Hu Hu said.
“Many thanks to the two of you.”
“I didn’t think that such a perfect gathering spirit array would actually be set up by such a little girl! The speed at which she set it up was very quick. The array is stable and it seems like her array skills are much like what Fei Yi said. Her foundations are excellent.”
“What, are you trying to snatch one of our people?” Fu Jing was not pleased, the guy’s look was not right.
“There is no set rule that says anyone who joins the Music Sect could not join the Array Sect.” Since Hu Hu said it this way, it meant that he indeed had the intention.
After Sima You Yue set up the array. She stopped in mid air and realised that although there was more spirit energy, it is still not enough.
Having reached this stage, if he still failed, then all these thoughts would have been wasted. Although the sect did not care about fights between disciples, having an incredible master would make her life more peaceful in the future.. Thinking about this, she took out an ore that she had yet to open.
