Dean Zheng really couldn't stay calm any longer.

A look of shock appeared on his face.

Not to mention the strength.

But his comprehension actually surpasses people like the North Emperor and the Ice Fairy?

"Dean Zheng, is this the Mr. Lu you invited? He truly lives up to his reputation."

"Yes, he directly surpassed level thirty. His comprehension is very high, very impressive."

"It seems this time, Dean Zheng is going to make a great contribution."

The other deans, after seeing this,

were also very surprised.

Originally, they thought Lu Yuan's strength came from some powerful bloodline or from consuming some Spirit Fruit and Exotic Herbs.

His comprehension might be good, but it should not be much different from those like the North Emperor and the Ice Fairy. Now it seems that's not the case.

Level thirty, before now, even all branches of Zhen Dan Academy combined, only reached this level.

And that was thanks to old Daoists invited for the sake of face.

But now,

there's someone who directly achieved this, naturally it's unexpected.

Moreover, Lu Yuan was invited by Dean Zheng, it seems he will inevitably comprehend the inheritance of the Sword Stele above level thirty.

If he reveals it when the time comes, the higher-ups will surely be very pleased, as this would be a significant achievement for the officials behind him.

"Ha...haha."

Hearing their words, Dean Zheng forced an awkward smile.

He still didn't want to tell them about the assurances he made earlier.

Afraid that they would go crazy if they found out.

Please.

Just don't go any higher, being behind Pure Yang and Huikong would be best.

Dean Zheng was secretly praying, because that would be easier for him to accept internally, and it would be relatively simpler to explain at that time.

However, his plan was bound to fail.

At this moment,

everyone's eyes were also focused on Lu Yuan.

No choice, his performance was too astonishing.

He almost used no time to directly surpass level thirty, moving fast.

Except for those awakened who had already begun comprehending, everyone else was paying attention.

North Emperor, Ice Fairy, and Shura as well.

They temporarily decided to put comprehension of the Sword Stele's inheritance on hold, wanting to see how far Lu Yuan could go.

After all, they all belong to the Five Great Venerables, so having a competitive mindset is normal.

And at the same time,

the Pure Yang Little Celestial Master from Dragon Tiger Mountain and Monk Huikong from Jiuhua Mountain both stood on level thirty-eight, their faces slightly pale.

Despite their talent and comprehension, under the immense pressure of the Sword Mountain, they were barely holding on.

Of course, neither of them chose to stop.

One representing Taoism,

the other representing Buddhism.

Both were now representing their respective factions.

"Amitabha, you should be able to go up more, right?" In the end, Monk Huikong clasped his hands together, chanting a Buddhist phrase as he spoke.

Now, he was almost at his limit. Even if he could continue, he wouldn't have much energy left to comprehend the inheritance.

"That's right, about two more levels."

Pure Yang Little Celestial Master nodded, "Forty levels, I can't go any further."

He was very candid, stating his limit.

"It seems,"

"this time, we can only comprehend the inheritance up to forty Sword Steles at most."

Monk Huikong looked upwards at the remaining Sword Steles, feeling a sense of regret.

He initially thought he could go far, climbing to great heights, but now it seems he was overconfident.

"Indeed, after all, Ancient Shu Mountain has the legend of the Sword Immortal."

"For the two of us to achieve this is already quite remarkable."

Pure Yang Little Celestial Master nodded as well. Compared to others, the two of them indeed excelled in terms of comprehension.

Comprehension, though not as critical as bloodline in the early stages of mutation for quick power, could help them on the future path. The Breathing Techniques and Visualization Techniques, as well as Divine Techniques, are of utmost importance to the Awakened.

The two exchanged glances, admiring each other, and showed mutual modesty.

"I believe it will be difficult for anyone to climb beyond level forty for some time."

Little Celestial Master continued, confident in his comprehension.

Monk Huikong felt the same, smiling as he said, "Amitabha, to go such a distance is truly hard, you see behind us..."

As he was about to say something more,

he suddenly noticed a figure appear,

sweeping past with incredible speed.

In the next moment, it directly surpassed them, reaching level forty...

Seeing this, Monk Huikong was stunned, looking carefully.

It was the Human Emperor, one of the Five Great Venerables.

Little Celestial Master was stunned too.

They were just being modest with each other, confident in their comprehension.

Yet in just the next moment, they were surpassed?

"Master Huikong, what were you about to say?" Pure Yang came back to his senses and couldn't help but ask.

"I...I was about to stop and comprehend the Sword Stele's inheritance." Monk Huikong immediately chose to change his words, then walked straight to the thirty-eighth Sword Stele, sat down cross-legged, but as a monk, his face was red.

Too embarrassing.

Such a loss of face.

Fortunately, there weren't many people.

Monk Huikong felt a bit dazed, not wanting to look up.

"Hmm, I'll proceed two more levels myself." Pure Yang Little Celestial Master nodded to himself, completely forgetting their previous conversation.

Weren't they supposed to be otherworldly?

But soon.

As he looked up to prepare to climb higher,

he suddenly discovered Lu Yuan had already surpassed several levels, reaching level fifty...

This...

Pure Yang didn't want to say anything more.

He also chose to lower his head, proceeding slowly.

And Lu Yuan?

Naturally, he heard the two's conversation but said nothing.

If he hadn't come, they would indeed have been the best in this Sword Stele inheritance, no one could have gone further than them.

It's a pity.

But he didn't dwell on it, choosing instead to keep going higher.
