These were merely the things that earned him the respect and recognition of the old sect leader.
However, if Zhang Yun could break through from the late stage of the Meridian Chakra Realm to the Heavenly Origin Realm in just three months, such a speed of cultivation and talent would surely shock even him, the sect leader.
With such a terrifying cultivation speed, he is probably already on par with the top geniuses in the Great Qin Empire. In fact, with his strength at the initial stage of the Heavenly Origin Realm, he can even compete with the top three geniuses on the Genius Ranking!
"Let him come to see me."
Although the old sect leader spoke calmly and showed no sign of joy or sorrow on his face, he was already quite excited inside.
Such a prodigy should not be overlooked; otherwise, his position as sect leader would be meaningless.
Such martial arts talent is something that the Yunwu Sect has only seen once in thousands of years.
If this is true, then judging solely from martial arts talent, Zhang Yun is the number one person in Yunwu Sect for thousands of years!
If more effort is put into cultivating him, Yunwuzong's status in the Great Qin Empire could very well double in the future.
Such a top-tier genius is very likely to surpass him in cultivation in the future, so he certainly cannot be underestimated.
"Yes, Master!"
Ye Qianzhi looked delighted.
She knew that once her master learned of this explosive news, he would definitely agree to meet the young master.
However, she also had some concerns in her heart.
Could it be that the young master has a problem with Master because of that incident, and wants to negotiate with him?
If they can't reach an agreement, will it affect the relationship between the young master and his master?
However, she knew the personalities of both the young master and her master, so she figured nothing unpleasant would happen.
After passing through the major peaks of Yunwu Sect, Zhang Yun, led by a disciple from the main peak, climbed the mountain and arrived at the Qingxin Hall.
"Please wait here while I go in and inform them."
As he spoke, the disciple walked slowly and respectfully entered the room. Not long after, he came out and said, "Junior brother, the sect leader has summoned you inside."
Zhang Yun nodded slightly and walked into the main hall of Qingxin Hall.
Upon entering the main hall, Zhang Yun immediately sensed an aura as deep and profound as the sea permeating the air. This was the aura of a Heavenly Gang Realm expert. With Zhang Yun's current strength, if he were to fight head-on, his chances would be slim.
Therefore, before the matter is settled, Zhang Yun also gives the old sect leader the respect he deserves.
"Disciple Zhang Yun greets Sect Master."
"Hmm, not bad, it is indeed the aura of the Heavenly Origin Realm."
The old sect leader sat on a futon in the center of the main hall. His eyes were closed, but after hearing Zhang Yun's voice, he opened them slightly, looked Zhang Yun up and down, and then nodded in satisfaction.
Ye Qianzhi was not lying or being fooled; Zhang Yun's cultivation level was genuinely at the Heavenly Origin Realm.
However, what he didn't know was that Zhang Yun naturally dared not fully reveal his own strength, so he used a special secret method to suppress his aura. Even experts at the Heavenly Gang Realm couldn't see through this method.

Chapter 147 Facing Reality
The old sect leader slowly spoke: "Zhang Yun, I remember that you and Ye Qianzhi entered the sect together. It has been more than two years since then, hasn't it?"
“Yes,” Zhang Yun replied.
The old sect leader's eyes flickered, and he said, "A seventeen-year-old at the Heavenly Origin Realm is one of the top talents even in the entire Great Qin Empire. No wonder he is a young hero from that family."
"Zhang Yun, Zhang Yun, if it weren't for that girl Qianzhi telling me about this today, how long were you planning to keep it a secret?"
According to his deduction, Zhang Yun's martial arts talent has been astonishing since childhood, but he deliberately concealed it from the world for some reason. However, is Zhang Yun now showing his talent in order to seek the protection of the sect?
But if that peerless genius of the Holy Sect really intends to deal with Zhang Yun, even with his outstanding talent, the little Yunwu Sect probably can't protect him at all.
There's only one explanation for that.
Zhang Yun wanted to reach a higher stage and compete with that peerless genius.
However, in the old sect leader's opinion, Zhang Yun was still too inexperienced.
"I'm sure the sect leader knows that I didn't mean to hide it."
For his own safety, Zhang Yun did not explain much.
But if the old sect leader knew that it only took him a little over half a year to break through to the Body Refinement Realm and then advance to the fifth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm, I wonder what he would think.
"Hmm." The old sect leader nodded slightly and said, "Then let me ask you, where did your cultivation techniques and martial arts come from?"
Regardless of the faction, resources are unequal. Zhang Yun was just an outer disciple in the past, so it was impossible for him to possess relatively advanced martial arts techniques.
Zhang Yun pondered for a moment and said, "To be honest, these were all left to me by my father."
Zhang Yun, who couldn't possibly tell the truth, could only come up with this reason.
In fact, during that critical moment, Zhang Zhentian barely had time to leave anything behind.
The old sect leader paused for a moment, then suddenly realized that his question was somewhat redundant. He then changed the subject and said, "Zhang Yun, since you possess such talent, the sect will naturally do its best to cultivate you. The sect will provide you with the greatest support in terms of cultivation resources and guidance. We only hope that when you reach a higher position in the future, you will not forget the kindness the sect has shown you."
As the saying goes, people strive for higher positions, and water flows downhill. He knew that Zhang Yunzhi was not here, and he would not hinder his development, which was actually beneficial to the sect.
"Sect Master, I've come today to discuss some matters with you."
