Path of Absolute Transcendence

Chapter 42: 42. Reactions

"Are you sure he is in the supernatural realm like us?"

"Did you not see the elders and grand elders? How will they allow someone to cheat?"

"But is this something a supernatural realm is capable of?"

*SIGH*

The disciples were bewildered by the strength of the last attack. They weren't able to believe that the attack was done by a supernatural realm cultivator.

"Did you see that, Wudi? Both of these guys do not have any special physique like you, but their strength is almost in the realm of divine transformation. You aren't capable of doing that without activating your physique. Take them as an example and try to achieve something like them on your own.

By the way, I'm not criticizing you; you have more potential than both of them; don't waste them because of your useless pride." The grand elder seriously explained this to Yang Wudi. He hoped Yang Wudi would achieve something in the future.

Their relationship is not that close, even though they are from the same family, but Yang Liwei considered Yang Wudi his child and started guiding him on the right path as a fatherly figure.

Yang Wudi is talented, intelligent, and charismatic. He had all the qualifications to become a strong person, but his only flaw was pride and arrogance. It is good to have both of them but at a moderate level.

"Silence," the elder said and continued" the disciples from ranking 100 to 50 will get 10 high-grade spirit stones as a reward.

The disciples from 49 to 30th place will get 15 high-grade spirit stones as a reward.

The disciples from 29th to 11th place will get 20 high-grade spirit stones as a reward.

The disciples from 10th to 4th place will get 50 high-grade spirit stones as a reward.

The third-place winner will get 100 high-grade spirit stones, and from now on, he only needs to pay a 70% fee to enter the refining tower.

The second-place winner will also get 100 high-grade spirit stones, and from now on, he only needs to pay a 70% fee to enter both the refining tower and the scripture pavilion.

Finally, the first-place winner will get 1000 high-grade spirit stones and only need to pay a 50% fee to enter the refining tower and scripture pavilion." The elder announced the rewards for the disciple.

Everyone who participated in this tournament got a reward since they won their battle royale match. Only the top 3 prizes are worth mentioning. The second and third-place rewards are almost similar, but compared to the first-place, there is a huge difference.

'The rewards are very generous' thought Kai. He did not expect the sect to spend so much money on this tournament.

"Now the reward promised by the grand elder," the elder said.

"Since I have already given my word, I will fulfill it. The reward is only for the first place since the world wouldn't remember anyone other than the first." The grand elder paused a little and continued, "Kai had a chance to select a treasure from the treasury of the sect. When you are ready to select the treasure, come and meet me." Yang Liwei explained.

"Thank you for the opportunity; I will cherish it, grand elder." Kai expressed his gratitude to the grand elder. He knows how precious this opportunity is; even the holy son won't be able to select a treasure from the treasury without obtaining the approval of the sect master and grand elder.

"No need for the formality, I only kept my words." The grand elder replied and left the place with the elders and holy son.

Leiyin, who just woke up and heard about the rewards and praise for Kai, fainted in anger. His face was destroyed, and he also had several ribs broken. His hands were saved by the timely inference of the grand elder, or else he will be crippled for life unless he meets an expert in life laws to heal him.

Kai left the place after collecting the rewards. A thousand high-grade spirit stones are enough for a divine realm cultivator to cultivate for a long period. But that isn't enough for Kai since he has the Transcendent Foundation.

The reason Kai had such a battle power despite not having any special physique or soul is his foundation. It amplifies the power of his Qi and sword intent. Being completely belonging to himself, his control over Qi is also very high.

Kai went to bed and fell asleep due to exhaustion. He used his full power to battle against Leiyin, so he is tired and needs to rest.

'I feel very comfortable today.' thought Kai, after he woke up. He felt refreshed after sleeping for two days.

Kai decided to meet the grand elder to receive his rewards today. He did not think about anything specific, so he decided to choose a valuable treasure on the spot.

'Anyway, it is free. So, I can choose without any burden considering the money.' Kai thought happily. Kai reached the mountain where Grand Elder lives; it is called the Serene Peak.

"Who are you? State your purpose for visiting the serene peak. If the reason isn't appropriate, you will face severe punishment." The guard standing at the entrance questioned Kai. No one is allowed to visit the serene peak without permission from the grand elder, so they blocked Kai's path.

"My name is Kai, and I'm the winner of this tournament. Grandelder asked me to visit him before selecting a treasure from the treasury." Kai answered the question without getting angry, he knew that the guards were doing their job.

"Wait here; I will ask permission from the grand elder." The guard decided to confirm the authenticity.

"No need, let him in." The voice of the grand elder was heard by both of them.

The guard allowed Kai in after hearing the grand elder's voice. Kai started walking towards the peak of the mountain since the grand elder lived there.

'He has very good aesthetics,' thought Kai. On his path, Kai saw a lot of exotic plants and trees; some rare animals can be seen everywhere. It deserves the name of serene Peak.

After reaching the peak, Kai saw a small hut near a pond, and an old man was sitting with a fishing rod in his hands.

Kai stood there without saying anything.

"Are you surprised by the simplicity ?" Asked Yang Liwei while correcting the fishing rod.

"Yeah, I was wondering about your house, since with your status, you don't have to live in a small hut," Kai replied calmly.

"You didn't think anything about me fishing personally?" Yang Liwei asked doubtfully.

"No, I didn't think anything about that. I know different people have different training methods, and your fishing maybe that type." Kai explained his thoughts.

"Excellent, you have such deep knowledge about cultivation. But how did you find out that I was cultivating?" Yang Liwei asked again.

Kai did not have any knowledge about different methods of cultivation; he just read them in the scripture pavilion in his free time, using insects. He did not lose the habit of reading books, even after coming to a new world.

"It is related to my talent; I am capable of sensing things that ordinary people won't be able to sense normally." Kai blamed his talent.

He sensed the movement in the surrounding Qi using willpower, but to hide the truth, he told about his talent. He had already revealed his ultimate sense of talent during the battle against Kai, and the grand elder at the Saint Emperor realm must be able to see it, so he told a reasonable lie.

"So, you can even sense the changes in Qi using your talent. It seems your talent is more powerful than I thought. It also explains your battle power." Yang Liwei muttered himself. The strength of the talent ultimately depends on the foundation, and it is closely related to battle power.

'He is a very dangerous individual,' thought Kai. Yang Liwei concluded that Kai achieved a strong foundation just by using a few sentences from him. He did not like smart people, since they can easily detect a person's personality within a few interactions. Kai was acting in front of the grand elder and had a high chance of getting caught if his lie was detected.

"I like simple things in my life, so I built a small hut on the serene peak and decided to live alone to spend my peaceful last days." Yang Liwei did not delve into the matter and explained his peaceful life.

"When you reach the same situation as me, you will understand my words." The grand elder continued. "Have you decided to select something?"

"No, grand elder, I will select after finding a suitable one," Kai replied.

"Okay, I will take you there." The grand elder said, He stood up and put his fishing rod inside the storage ring. He held Kai's, and both of them disappeared from the serene peak.

"Open your eyes; we have arrived at the location."

Kai, who had just closed his eyes anticipating a high-speed flight, opened his eyes in amazement and confusion.

"Is this teleportation?" Kai asked in excitement. It was the first time he traveled in such a way. He only heard that traveling through teleportation is possible, but this is the first time he traveled.

He did not even travel using the teleportation formation during their trip, since both he and his parents decided not to waste money on such useless things.

"Yes, it is teleportation, and you will also be able to do that in the saint realm." The grand elder replied with a smile on his face as he expressed Kai.
