Chapter 851 Realm of masters
''Eh? What's going on? Another person has stepped into the realm of masters?''
One of the Dao Kings who was sitting just a few meters away from Xingyi said loudly in a voice filled with surprise, as his gaze was instantly focused on Xingyi who was still sitting in front of the stone mural with her eyes closed.
At that moment, Xingyi's aura had started to change as well, giving off an elusive, sharp... and deadly sensation, similar to that of a sharp dagger's.
''Impossible! That girl is just a peak rank 4 Dao King! How can she enter the realm of masters with such a low cultivation base?''
A middle-aged man in blue robes who was emitting the aura of a late-stage Dao King suddenly exclaimed when he noticed Xingyi's cultivation base which was one of the weakest among the surrounding Dao Kings.
In fact, the number of middle-stage Dao Kings that were present in this place were less than a thousand and the rest were almost all late-stage or even peak stage Dao Kings.
''Realm of masters? Senior brother, are you saying that this girl has stepped into the same realm as senior brother Wu?''
Nodding his head, the blue-robed middle-aged man continued to stare at Xingyi's figure before he explained seriously
''Right. To step into the realm of masters, a person's skills with a certain weapon need to reach a level where their own body will eventually begin to emit an aura similar to the weapon they have mastered. There is no doubt that that girl has reached this realm as well... the realm of masters!''
Quite a few of the surrounding experts seemed to have been stunned as well, as their attention was fully placed on Xingyi's figure.
Although there were tens of thousands of Dao Kings present in this place, studying the stone mural, the number of Dao Kings who had stepped into the realm of masters among them was less than 100, and practically every single one of them was a late-stage or even a peak rank 9 Dao King!
Thus, one could imagine how surprising it was for a middle-stage Dao King like Xingyi to have stepped into the same realm as those monsters!
...
An hour later, Xingyi finally opened her eyes that resembled 2 sharp green daggers, and after she stared at the stone mural in front of her for a few moments in silence, she completely retracted her aura, before she began to walk towards Liu Mei.
''Xingyi, congratulations.'' Liu Mei said with an earnest smile on her face as she looked at Xingyi.
However, Xingyi merely shook her head with a wry smile on her face before she said seriously
''Mei, I am too weak. My spiritual strength was almost completely depleted this time. The pressure from the stone mural is simply too strong...''
Once she finished speaking, Xingyi turned to look at Shun Long, Jiang Chen, and Bai Longtian, each of whom was still sitting on the same spot as before with their eyes closed, before Xingyi sat next to Liu Mei and closed her eyes with a calm look on her face.
Since there was nothing else to do, Xingyi could only begin cultivating as well and try to increase her strength as much as possible in the meantime.
..
In the blink of an eye 4 more months quickly passed, while Shun Long, Jiang Chen, and Bai Longtian were still completely absorbed into the scenes on the stone mural.
It had already been 10 months since they had come here, and yet none of them had showed any signs of waking up in these past 10 months.
At the same time, during those past 10 months, their group of 3 had attracted the attention of quite a few of the surrounding Dao Kings, including some peak rank 9 Dao Kings who were present here.
After all, even most late-stage Dao Kings wouldn't last more than 7 or 8 months in front of the stone mural, and yet a peak rank 3 and a pair of peak rank 4 Dao Kings had lasted for nearly a year.
There was no way that something like that could possibly go unnoticed.
''How much longer are those bastards going to stay like that? Don't tell me that they are going to enter the realm of masters as well?!''
''Are you an idiot? Since they have lasted for so long it's practically guaranteed that they will! I would be more surprised if they failed!''
''That's not necessarily true. There have been plenty of people who stayed like that for more than half a year and yet they still failed to enter the realm of masters in the end.
What I am more curious about, is how these 3 can actually last for so long under the pressure of the stone mural!''
Finally, at the beginning of the 11th of the month, Jiang Chen was the first one to wake up, as his body trembled violently for a few moments before he suddenly opened his eyes.
A sharp, dangerous, and demonic aura that was filled with killing intent burst out from his body in the next moment, startling even a few of the late-stage Dao Kings around him.
At that moment, Jiang Chen seemed like a demonic saber that had just been unsheathed and was ready to draw blood.
''Fuck! Another person has stepped into that realm! What's going on?''
However, Jiang Chen didn't pay any attention to the discussions around him, as he turned his gaze towards Shun Long's direction barely a moment after he woke up.
Once he noticed that Bai Longtian had actually yet to wake up and was still comprehending the scenes in the stone mural, Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes, before he took a deep breath and retracted his aura back to his body, as he made his way towards Shun Long's direction.
Time continued to pass, and as the 11th month came to an end, Bai Longtian's figure suddenly trembled as well, before Bai Longtian also opened his eyes.
