However, although Zhang Yun's current cultivation level is not weak, it is still somewhat inferior to Zhang Zigu's.
If he were to engage in a life-or-death battle with Zhang Zigu on the Heavenly Pride Platform right now, and were to perish in the battle, wouldn't it be a waste of such a monstrous talent?
Thinking of this, even Shan Qianxun felt it was a pity, and he didn't want Zhang Yun to confront Zhang Zigu head-on right now.
“Zhang Yun, I admit that your talent for cultivation is indeed extraordinary, but during your seclusion, Zhang Zigu also made progress.”
"Just a few days ago, Zhang Zigu's cultivation broke through again, steadily advancing to the eighth level of the Meridian Chakra Realm, a full three minor realms higher than yours."
"It's not that I don't think highly of you, but your cultivation is only at the fifth level of the Meridian Chakra Realm. Facing him now, your chances of winning are still very small."
Ye Qianzhi frowned slightly and said coldly, "Senior Sister Shan, aren't you being a bit too nosy?"
"Whom my young master wants to challenge is none of your business, is it?"
"And I might as well tell you that with my young master's strength, he will definitely be able to win. Your worries are completely unnecessary."
Even though she sensed that Shan Qianxun meant no harm to her young master, Ye Qianzhi felt inexplicably uncomfortable seeing him getting so close to her young master.
This feeling was strange; even she herself didn't understand it.
All she knew was that her young master could not be looked down upon by anyone.
"Ye Qianzhi, your trust in Zhang Yun is too blind." Shan Qianxun felt both angry and amused.
"That's none of your business." Ye Qianzhi was unmoved, her voice remaining icy.
"Alright, Qianzhi, let's go back."
Sensing the tension between the two women, Zhang Yun stepped in to stop them, then turned to look at Shan Qianxun with a slightly complicated expression.
"Senior Sister Shan, I know you're worried about my safety, and I appreciate your kindness."
"However, a man's words are never to be taken back."
"If I choose to avoid battle this time because of cowardice, it will affect my unwavering Dao heart. Wouldn't that be a loss? I might as well just die."
"Zhang Yun, why are you so stubborn?" Shan Qianxun stomped her foot in anger: "Since you insist on doing things your own way, then so be it. From now on, I will no longer interfere in your affairs!"
Even though I understand that there is some truth to what Zhang Yun said, what is more important than life itself?
If one dies, what use is the so-called Dao heart?
"Shan Qianxun, I know you mean well, but you have no idea how many tricks I have up my sleeve..."
Watching Shan Qianxun's proud figure leave in resentment, Zhang Yun sighed softly.
What she didn't understand was that if Zhang Yun hadn't consolidated his strength and laid a solid foundation for his future cultivation, his realm would have been far beyond the fifth level of the Chakra Realm.
"Young master, to celebrate your successful promotion, Qianzhi has specially booked a private room for you at Liulian Pavilion. How about we go and have a feast now?"
When facing Zhang Yun, the coldness on Ye Qianzhi's face vanished instantly, and she smiled sweetly.
"I'll do whatever Qianzhi says," Zhang Yun said softly with a smile, her eyes full of doting affection.
After being so busy for so long, it's time to relax.
Having a beautiful girl like Qianzhi by your side is certainly one of life's greatest pleasures.
Liulian Peak of Yunwu Sect is no less impressive than any other peak. Rather, it resembles a bustling marketplace, serving as a place for Yunwu Sect disciples to trade, relax, and unwind.
Liulianjian is the only restaurant in Liulian Peak, and it is named after Liulian Peak.
The scale of Liulian is no less than any restaurant in Tianzhu City, and its luxury is even better. It is always bustling with customers.
Of course, the expenses involved are not something that ordinary practitioners can afford.
The private rooms are reserved exclusively for geniuses or disciples with powerful backgrounds.
Among the many private rooms, the rooms for the top three scholars (状元, 榜眼, 探花) are the most prestigious, with only one room for each of them, reflecting their extremely high level and scale.
Only truly exceptional individuals are qualified to consume.
It is said that many disciples of the highest caliber often quarrel and clash over a place in one of the three private rooms, and it is not uncommon for them to fight each other.
The winner will have the right to use the private room for one day.
The higher-ups of Yunwu Sect turned a blind eye to this competition.
As long as there are no serious casualties, Yunwuzong would be happy to see it happen.
After all, healthy competition is also very beneficial to the development of Yunwu Sect.
At this moment, four or five young men, all with extraordinary bearing, stepped into the lingering room together.
The moment these people appeared, they immediately attracted the awe-inspiring gazes of everyone in the hall; even the elite disciples dared not show them any disrespect.
The five young disciples who stepped into the hall at this moment were all geniuses on the Yunwu Sect's list of prodigies, and some of them were even ranked high!
