Six Realms Immortal Emperor

"Hmph!" With a cold snort, Gan Shaohong increased his spiritual power, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and powerful spiritual power flowed out from his palm, continuously being sent to the box.

But the pattern on the box remained the same, without any other changes, leaving Yan Gang and Jin Chongguang looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Sigh!" Gan Shaohong withdrew his hand and couldn't help but sigh.

"What's wrong, Master?" Jin Chongguang asked anxiously.

"My cultivation is too shallow to comprehend its mysteries. But I can sense that this box is definitely a real treasure box, and this kind of box should be part of a set. This is just one of them. Only by collecting the whole set can we piece together a complete map."

"Huh?" Jin Chongguang said with some disappointment, "Then this box is useless. Where are we going to find other boxes?"

"Hmph! It's not that difficult!" Gan Shaohong sneered, glancing at Jin Chongguang and the other man.

The cold laugh sent chills down one's spine. Yan Gang, who had been standing silently to the side, couldn't help but feel a shiver run down his spine. He only breathed a sigh of relief when Gan Shaohong turned his head away.

Gan Shaohong's expression turned cold, and he said to Jin Chongguang, "Don't forget what I told you before, that little girl. Since she has this box, she might be able to find the others!"

"Master is truly wise. There are more and more suspicious points about Dongfang Siyu. I've thought of a few more!" Jin Chongguang said with a respectful expression.

Yan Gang was taken aback. Dongfang Siyu? So the girl they were talking about was her! Yan Gang listened even more carefully, not missing a single word Jin Chongguang said.

Gan Shaohong nodded in satisfaction, a look of delight on his face: "Tell me, what did you discover this time?"

"Ever since Master entrusted this matter to me, I haven't slacked off for a moment. You don't know yet, Dongfang Siyu's cultivation has broken through again, and she has been promoted to an elite disciple!" Jin Chongguang said, swallowing hard, his words full of jealousy.

In the Brahma Sect, the leap from inner disciple to elite disciple is a qualitative one. Within the sect, there are thousands of inner disciples who are largely ignored; only by advancing to elite disciple status can one secure a foothold at the top.

Unexpectedly, Dongfang Siyu, who had just been promoted to an inner disciple, had become an elite disciple in just one year, which made Jin Chongguang extremely jealous.

"What! It's only been a year since you failed to intercept her last time, and she's already become an elite disciple?" Gan Shaohong asked in surprise.

This was incredibly fast. Such disciples are often called genius disciples. If they were discovered by the higher-ups of the sect, they would definitely be trained as true disciples. Gan Shaohong felt a sense of pressure.

Yan Gang, standing to the side, was also shocked upon hearing this. Dongfang Siyu had actually become an elite disciple; her cultivation was truly rapid! Also, how did the Qingyuan Treasure Vault matter get involved with her?

What was said without malice was taken seriously by the listener. Hearing these words, he suddenly understood something.

I remember last year, when Dongfang Siyu returned to her sect after visiting her family, she mentioned this incident to me. She said that they encountered petty thieves on the way and even lost a member of her clan. With Dongfang Siyu's abilities, ordinary petty thieves would be no match for her!

Jin Chongguang was also granted permission to leave the mountain for a period of time at that time. After returning to the sect, he was severely punished by his master for some unknown reason. Now that I think about it, not only do the two events coincide in time, but the events also connect, which makes people suspicious.

Yan Gang had some doubts at the time, but he didn't investigate them further.

Based on this, it is highly likely that Dongfang Siyu and her group encountered Jin Chongguang and his gang on their way!

It turns out that Master had long suspected Dongfang Siyu. Her cultivation was faster than that of ordinary disciples, but was she really related to the Qingyuan Treasure Vault?

Although Yan Gang didn't speak, he was thinking a lot. If his master took any actions that were detrimental to her, he would pass on the information to her immediately.

"Master, that's not even the most suspicious part!" Seeing Gan Shaohong's reaction, Jin Chongguang was very satisfied and continued, "In this outer sect disciple's wilderness trial, the Dongfang family had a disciple named Xu Jingtian. This person has only been a disciple for a year, yet he actually won first place!"

"What? He's only been a student for a year and he already got first place in the trial?" Gan Shaohong was a little surprised. "What's his cultivation level?"

"This is absolutely true, I saw it with my own eyes. If I'm not mistaken, he has already reached the third level of Qi Refining. Master, just think about how amazing the speed at which Dongfang Siyu's cultivation has improved is, and Xu Jingtian is even faster than her! It's definitely not normal for such a small Dongfang family to suddenly produce so many outstanding disciples in such a short period of time!" Jin Chongguang said, while squinting his small eyes.

Generally speaking, the more powerful a family is, the more abundant its resources, and the easier it is to cultivate a disciple of the immortal sect. An outer sect disciple, without strong material support from their family, would find it difficult to grow so quickly, unless they are some kind of genius.

Xu Jingtian raised his cultivation to the third level of Qi Refining in just one year, a feat even those powerful families couldn't achieve. Moreover, their Dongfang family was an extremely small family within the sect.

Jin Chongguang's words made it clear that Xu Jingtian, like Dongfang Siyu, was a member of the Dongfang family, and they both had intricate connections with the treasure vault. If Gan Shaohong wanted to obtain the treasure vault, he would have to deal with the entire Dongfang family.

Jin Chongguang was jealous of Xu Jingtian and Dongfang Siyu, so he dragged the entire Dongfang family into it. His motives were truly sinister.

Yan Gang, with a gloomy face, carefully memorized every word they said, waiting for the right opportunity to leak the information to Dongfang Siyu so that she would always be on guard against the two of them.

Upon hearing this, Gan Shaohong's expression turned somewhat grim. He nodded and said, "If that's the case, it seems my suspicions back then were correct. But you were utterly useless. Back then, the three of you couldn't even handle Dongfang Siyu, missing a golden opportunity. Now, it's very difficult to find another chance to make a move within the sect."

Seeing Gan Shaohong's slight frown, Jin Chongguang's eyes darted around a few more times, and another idea popped into his mind.

"Master, Dongfang Siyu is an inner disciple, and she's not easy to deal with within the sect. But there's also Xu Jingtian, who's an outer disciple. I can keep an eye on him and strike when the opportunity arises. I'm determined to get information about the Qingyuan Treasure Vault!"

"Alright, you go and find that Xu Jingtian to make your move. This time, you must get me information about the Qingyuan Treasure Vault!" Gan Shaohong said with a gloomy face.

"Don't worry, Master. No matter how powerful an outer disciple is, he's still easy to capture." As Jin Chongguang said this, he was already fantasizing about how to capture Xu Jingtian.

"Hahaha, good! If we can really find the Qingyuan Treasure Vault this time, let alone Foundation Establishment and Core Formation, even Nascent Soul and Infant Transformation will no longer be out of reach. Even those old guys in the sect will have no choice but to bow down and submit. Master is waiting for your good news."

Gan Shaohong laughed arrogantly, as if the Qingyuan Treasure Vault was already his.

Meanwhile, Xu Jingtian, far away in the valley, was completely unaware that he had become bait that others envied.
