High Martial Arts: I Travel Through Heaven and Earth Through Dreams

Chapter 571 Envisioning the Future

The girl was stunningly beautiful, with skin as white as snow and exquisite features.

At this moment, Zhang Yanran was fully focused on practicing the inner sect techniques of the Qinglan Sect, carrying out her daily, unwavering cultivation.

As she breathed, the rich spiritual energy gathered by the spirit-gathering array in the room transformed into wisps of visible white mist, flowing continuously into her body through her mouth, nose, and all over her body.

"call--"

After a long while, Zhang Yanran slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air mixed with icy crystals. Her long, curled eyelashes trembled slightly as she opened her eyes, which were as deep and cold as an icy pool.

Feeling the surging spiritual energy within her body, like a mighty river, Zhang Yanran couldn't help but let a proud and satisfied smile appear on her usually icy lips.

"The sixth level of the Dao Palace..."

Zhang Yanran murmured to herself, feeling the vast Dao Palace within her body, which had already illuminated the phantoms of three deities. Her tone was filled with undisguised excitement and pride.

Dao Palace Realm, Sixth Level!

Keep in mind, she just turned eighteen!

A Dao Palace Realm cultivator who has just turned eighteen! What does that even mean?

Looking at the entire Qinglan Sect, and even the vast and boundless Dali Dynasty, young people who can reach this level of cultivation at this age are absolutely rare.

It could even be said that in this remote and impoverished northern prefecture, Zhang Yanran is undoubtedly the number one genius!

Although reason tells her that if this cultivation speed is to be compared, it seems to be inferior to Xiao Yan, the number one genius of Wulan City who entered the Dao Palace Realm at the age of fifteen.

But what about that?

Only those who survive and continuously break through limitations deserve to be called geniuses.

The once glorious Xiao Yan is now nothing more than a useless piece of trash who can barely hold onto his Sea of ​​Wheels realm.

But Zhang Yanran is at the height of her career, with a bright future ahead of her!

"Xiao Yan, the higher you once stood, the harder you fell."

"This world is so cruel. Without strength, you can only be trampled under my feet like mud."

"That marriage certificate is an unattainable dream for you now, and even an insult to me, Zhang Yanran."

Zhang Yanran sneered inwardly, recalling Xiao Yan's desperate, angry, and helpless appearance in the Xiao family's hall a few days ago. Instead of feeling any sympathy, she felt a surge of intense pleasure.

She got up from the warm jade bed, walked to the carved window in the room, and pushed it open.

The night breeze ruffled her long, flowing black hair as she looked down at the brightly lit city of Ulan, her eyes gleaming with boundless ambition and longing.

"At my current cultivation pace, breaking through the Dao Palace Realm and entering the Four Extremes Realm before the age of twenty is absolutely a certainty!"

Originally, with her talent, although she could be considered outstanding, she definitely wouldn't possess such a terrifying talent that could be described as defying the heavens.

If she cultivates step by step, she would be grateful if she could reach the Four Extremes Realm before the age of thirty.

All these changes are thanks to that "serendipitous encounter" a year ago.

That divine treasure of heaven and earth that was forcibly seized from Xiao Wu—the [Mysterious Jade Bone-Growing Flower]!

That divine herb not only cleansed all the impurities from her body and reshaped her meridians and bones, but also transformed her aptitude, making her affinity for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth reach an outrageous level.

"The Mysterious Jade Bone-Growing Flower truly lives up to its legendary status as a divine creation. With the perfect foundation laid by it, the Fourth Extreme Realm is definitely not the end for me, Zhang Yanran!"

"At twenty, I entered the Four Extremes Realm; at thirty, I reached the Dragon Transformation Realm! If the opportunities are sufficient, in the future, I, Zhang Yanran, may even have the chance to break through to the legendary, god-like [Sentai Realm]!"

Sendai Realm, also known as the Great Power Realm, is an unparalleled realm that is worthy of awe.

Stepping into the Sendai means breaking free from the shackles of the mortal world, possessing terrifying power to summon wind and rain and overturn mountains and seas, and having a lifespan of up to two thousand years, living as long as heaven and earth and shining as brightly as the sun and moon.

Even in the vast Great Li Dynasty, a powerhouse of this level would be considered a top expert at the very top of the pyramid, a patriarch-level figure capable of ruling a region!

It should be noted that even the current leaders of the three major sects that rule the cultivation world of the Great Li Dynasty—namely, the Azure Mist Sect, Sunset Valley, and Heavenly Star Pavilion—are only at the Immortal Platform Realm.

"Once I can reach the Sendai Realm, let alone a small sect like the Qinglan Sect, even the royal family of the Great Li Dynasty will have to show me respect! At that time, I, Zhang Yanran, will be the true ruler of this world!"

Zhang Yanran was immersed in the grand blueprint she had drawn for herself, her heart filled with boundless longing and enthusiasm for the future.

In her eyes, Wulan City was too small, the Xiao family was too small, and even Xiao Yan, who was once hailed as a genius, was now nothing more than an insignificant stumbling block on her path to Sendai.

"Judging by the time, Elder Zhou should be back by now, having gone to hunt down that good-for-nothing."

"An ant at the first level of the Sea of ​​Wheels realm is something Elder Zhou, who is at the Four Extremes Realm, can crush with a mere breath. It doesn't require much effort at all."

"Once that good-for-nothing is dead, and the root of the problem is eliminated, there will be no way to prove what happened back then. I can then return to my sect in peace and prepare for my seclusion to break through to the Fourth Extreme Realm."

Zhang Yanran turned around, picked up a cup of spiritual tea from the table, took a small sip, and secretly made plans in her mind.

However, just as she was feeling incredibly happy about her bright future and extremely proud of her ruthless methods,

An anomaly, a sudden occurrence.

"Buzz—"

The once quiet luxury room was suddenly filled with a muffled hum without warning.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying chill, seemingly emanating from the deepest depths of hell, instantly enveloped the entire room.

This chill was completely different from the ice-attribute spiritual energy that Zhang Yanran cultivated.

Zhang Yanran's chill was merely a low temperature on a physical level, but this sudden chill directly froze time, space, and even the soul!

"Who goes there?!"

Zhang Yanran was startled, and the spirit tea cup in her hand was instantly crushed to pieces.

Her cultivation at the sixth level of the Dao Palace realm erupted at this moment, and the ice-attribute spiritual power within her body transformed into countless sharp ice blades, swirling around her as she warily surveyed her surroundings.

However, the room was completely empty, except for the wisps of incense rising from it; there wasn't even a ghost in sight.

"Could it be my imagination...?"

Zhang Yanran frowned, preparing to release her divine sense to investigate carefully.

However, before her divine sense could leave her body...

A slender, fair hand, like a ghost that had traveled through the void, suddenly appeared from behind her and firmly gripped the top of her head!
