Chapter 48: The 8th stage Crimson Profound Realm – Waiting for the Opportunity:
As expected from a place with such extraordinary fortune. Inside the grand hall, countless inheritances remained untouched. This was the legacy of a super sect. Even a minor family, after obtaining these inheritances, could rise to become the most powerful family in the entire Qingyun Domain within just a decade.
Lin Ang scanned the hall, sensing that this place held even deeper secrets beyond what was visible.
Lin Ang said, "The treasures in the hall are yours to keep. I will search elsewhere."
"Be careful, young master," Qiu Ruohan replied, nodding as she carefully stored the treasures in her ring. With the spiritual seal connecting her to Lin Ang, she could notify him immediately if anything happened.
...
After leaving the hall, Lin Ang's figure transformed into a streak of light, swiftly moving through the ruins of the sect. The ruins were vast, fitting for a super sect whose grounds could rival a small dynasty.
After much searching, his efforts paid off in the evening. In the mountain behind the sect ruins, inside an icy cave, a vibrant flower grew on the edge of a few rocks. Its radiant petals were translucent, like glass, pure and exquisite.
[Name]: Seven-Color Lower-Level Elixir – Seven-Color Glazed Flower
[Purple Luck – Survive a Catastrophe, Future Blessings Await]: If left untouched, in a week, a disciple from an ordinary empire fleeing for his life would find this flower by chance. He would consume it and make a breakthrough from the 10th stage Spirit Condensing Realm to the 3rd stage Crimson Profound Realm.
This seven-colored glazed flower was indeed the main source of luck in these ruins. According to the luck entry, even the Jade Moon Sect would have missed this treasure, only for it to be found by a random disciple.
Lin Ang sat quietly in the cave, and with a simple wave, he plucked the flower.
‘This secret realm is filled with powerful individuals… The most important thing is to improve my cultivation quickly,’ he thought. ‘Once I’ve refined the Heavenly Thunder Dao Body, I’ll be able to dominate the entire secret realm.’
Without hesitation, Lin Ang swallowed the 7th-grade elixir.
Hum!
A 7th-grade elixir—such a potent item—would typically require months of preparation and a master to guide its consumption. However, Lin Ang had the blessing of the Supreme Bone, which allowed him to refine even the most powerful elixirs instantly.
"Supreme Bone, it’s up to you." Lin Ang thought.
Golden light radiated from his body, swirling around him in brilliant arcs. His entire form seemed to glow with a golden hue, as if he had been transformed into a divine being. Under the influence of the Supreme Bone, the massive energy of the elixir slowly poured into his body, refining and tempering his cultivation.
...
In the depths of the frozen secret realm, many prodigies from the Northern Realm were startled. They noticed strands of golden energy rising into the sky, as though they were about to reach the heavens and form stars.
From that distant place, they all sensed an incredible medicinal power.
"A great opportunity has appeared!" exclaimed a prince of a super dynasty, whose cultivation had reached the sixth level of the Crimson Profound Realm. His eyes gleamed with envy and desire. "A ray of medicinal power that can travel for thousands of miles without dispersing… Someone must have obtained a sixth or seventh-grade elixir!"
"If someone were to present a 7th-grade elixir to a super empire, they could secure the position of elder!" he continued, full of envy.
All around, the prodigies buzzed with excitement and jealousy.
"Damn! Someone else got that chance!"
"A 7th-grade elixir… Whoever obtained it will soon become a top talent in the Northern Realm."
"It’s only been one day since the secret realm opened, and someone has already secured such a rare opportunity. I wonder who that lucky genius is?"
Despite their envy, none of them dared go and try to snatch the elixir. The distance was too great, and by the time they arrived, the person who had obtained the treasure would already be gone.

Back at the icy cave, Lin Ang sat quietly, refining the 7th-grade elixir. His cultivation base surged as the hours passed.
Breakthrough!
Crimson Profound Realm, 6th stage!
Breakthrough!
Crimson Profound Realm, 7th stage!
Breakthrough!
Crimson Profound Realm, 8th stage!
By the next morning, Lin Ang slowly opened his eyes, having reached the 8th stage Crimson Profound Realm. In just a few hours, he had ascended minor realms, bringing him closer to the Grandmaster Realm.
After a moment, Lin Ang left the cave and returned to the sect’s hall. The hall was spotless, tidied up by Qiu Ruohan after she had collected the treasures. She hadn’t disturbed Lin Ang, choosing instead to wait for his return. She sat by the fire in the hall, her side profile illuminated by the flickering light, her face peaceful and stunning.
"Young master, you’ve returned," Qiu Ruohan said, rising quickly and dusting off her robes.
At this moment, she noticed something. Lin Ang’s aura had grown immensely powerful, now at the eighth level of the Crimson Profound Realm.
After a brief pause, Qiu Ruohan finally managed to say, "Young master, your cultivation talent… is extraordinary."
Even though she knew Lin Ang had likely gained opportunities, breaking through minor three realms in a single night was unheard of. Such progress required immense talent and understanding, far beyond what ordinary sects could achieve, even with all their resources.
Lin Ang smiled but said nothing, sitting quietly in the hall and resting with his eyes closed.
"Young master, are we not leaving yet?" Qiu Ruohan asked, puzzled by his calmness.
Lin Ang responded lightly, "We’re waiting for someone."
"Just wait."
Qiu Ruohan was confused again. She didn’t understand what the young master was planning, but she knew another classic moment was about to unfold.
-To be continued!
