One month later.
One day, a powerful aura erupted from Su Tong's residence, shooting towards the sky!
"Such a terrifying aura!"
"That's where Elder Su Tong lives!"
"How...how has he reached such a level?!"
"Compared to our Sect Master, I don't know how many times stronger he is!"
"..."
In Hidden Spirit Sect, the disciples who were cultivating were also shocked by the aura.
Feeling the immense pressure, their hearts trembled.
In Crimson Rainbow Sect, Sect Master Luo Zi Yin was the strongest.
But Elder Su Tong had surpassed her in just one year.
Moreover, he didn't just surpass her by a small margin.
In the square of Crimson Rainbow Sect, several figures flashed by. It was Luo Zi Yin and several elders.
At this time, apart from Luo Zi Yin, the other elders had also entered the Returning Void Realm.
This was due to the martial art manual Su Tong had brought back - the Hidden Spirit Scroll.
The number of Returning Void Realm experts in Crimson Rainbow Sect had reached five.
Even in the entire Northern Territory, they were one of the strongest sects.
"That's Elder Su Tong's aura!"
"So powerful, it seems he has reached the level of the previous Sect Master!"
"You mean...the peak of the Returning Void Realm?"
"At such a young age...is that really possible?"
The elders were also discussing among themselves.
After all, Su Tong had only joined Crimson Rainbow Sect for a year, yet he had reached this level.
Many felt it was unbelievable.
"His strength is much higher than Master's peak level!"
Sensing the terrifying aura, Luo Zi Yin slowly spoke.
Hearing this, the other elders fell silent.
They all knew the previous Sect Master's strength clearly.
And Luo Zi Yin was the previous Sect Master's direct disciple, who he had raised since young, like his own daughter.
On many issues, Luo Zi Yin would take the previous Sect Master's side.
For her to say this now showed how powerful Su Tong had become.
...
Qi Mu Sect!
The Sect Master and several elders were in discussion.
"This aura...it's from Crimson Rainbow Sect's Su Tong, right?"
Sensing the powerful aura, a hint of surprise flashed across the normally calm face of Qi Mu Sect's Sect Master.
But it was quickly suppressed by him.
"Yes, I have exchanged blows with this Su Tong before, I recognize his aura. But he wasn't this powerful before!"
At this moment, Wu He was also extremely shocked.
If Su Tong had such strength back then, he could have crushed Wu He with a finger.
Of course, Su Tong now could still crush him with a finger.
"Back then, he was only at the third level of the Returning Void Realm. Now...he should be at the peak of the Returning Void Realm!"
The Sect Master nodded.
Only by reaching the peak of the Returning Void Realm could one emit such powerful strength.
"How is that possible? It hasn't even been half a year since the Hundred Sects Tournament!"
The Great Elder was also surprised.
Even the genius Sect Master of Qi Mu Sect took over thirty years to reach the third level of the Returning Void Realm.
Yet this Su Tong...wasn't even twenty yet?
And in just half a year, he went from the third level to the peak of the Returning Void Realm.
Even with pills, it shouldn't be this fast.
"Su Tong's comprehension ability is beyond anyone in the Northern Territory. From what I know, he only arrived in the Northern Territory a year ago!"
The Sect Master of Qi Mu Sect spoke slowly.
Ever since losing the Hundred Sects Tournament, he had investigated Su Tong.
He didn't know about this before, but after investigating, he realized Su Tong suppressing the hundred sects was not just luck.
"One year?"
Hearing this number, everyone was stunned.
From starting cultivation to reaching the peak of the Returning Void Realm, it only took him one year?
At this moment, the entire discussion hall of Qi Mu Sect fell silent.
The same was true for other sects.
Like Azure Mist Sect and Shadow Thunder Sect.
At this time, the experts of these two sects were also dumbfounded.
Then they felt somewhat relieved. Although there were some conflicts with Su Tong during the Hundred Sects Tournament, the end result wasn't too bad.
At least it wasn't a matter of life and death.
However, some were not the same.
That was Shen Feng Sect and Disaster Sword Sect.
"Damn! How is this possible? The peak of the Returning Void Realm, how can this be?!"
At this time, the Sect Master of Shen Feng Sect directly flipped the table in anger.
He had also sensed Su Tong's aura.
It was very terrifying, at the peak of the Returning Void Realm.
A feeling of powerlessness came over him.
After a moment, he gritted his teeth: "Summon Elder Taishang, this Su Tong cannot remain. Also, contact Disaster Sword Sect!"
The Sect Master of Shen Feng Sect gave orders.
Such a frightening enemy must be eliminated.
Otherwise, Shen Feng Sect would never have a chance to rise again.
Unlike Crimson Rainbow Sect, Shen Feng Sect, Qi Mu Sect and Disaster Sword Sect all had a Taishang Elder.
These three sects were the real old powers of the Northern Territory.
Their heritage was not something the other sects could compare with.
"Yes!"
A person beside him hurriedly cupped his fists in response.
Then withdrew.
The situation was similar in Disaster Sword Sect.
"Summon the Taishang Elder!"
The Sword Master of Disaster Sword Sect also had a gloomy expression.
He never expected Su Tong to have reached the peak of the Returning Void Realm.
If allowed to continue growing, he would absolutely become a threat to Disaster Sword Sect.
After a while, a disciple arrived.
"Sword Master, there is a disciple from Shen Feng Sect here with a message."
The disciple said respectfully.
"Speak!"
The Sword Master of Disaster Sword Sect said.
"Shen Feng Sect wants to join forces with Disaster Sword Sect to deal with Crimson Rainbow Sect. They invite the Sword Master to go discuss this at Shen Feng Sect."
The disciple relayed the message.
"Hmm, you may leave!"
The Sword Master of Disaster Sword Sect nodded.
Then waved his hand.
"Shen Feng Sect? Now is the time to join forces!"
After hesitating for a moment.
He spoke again: "Prepare to go to Shen Feng Sect!"
The strength of Disaster Sword Sect's Taishang Elder was only at the ninth level of the Returning Void Realm.
However, the spirit techniques he cultivated were mid-tier divine techniques.
So even against a peak Returning Void Realm expert, he could put up a fight.
But joining forces with Shen Feng Sect would increase their chances.
After all, Shen Feng Sect also had a Taishang Elder.
Just as Shen Feng Sect and Disaster Sword Sect were making plans, Crimson Rainbow Sect was rejoicing.
With Su Tong reaching the peak of the Returning Void Realm, Crimson Rainbow Sect's strength was above all other sects in the Northern Territory, even the old established ones.
One peak Returning Void Realm expert, and five other Returning Void Realm experts.
Crimson Rainbow Sect could now crush the other sects.
Only Luo Zi Yin knew clearly that with Su Tong breaking through to the peak of the Returning Void Realm, the day he left Crimson Rainbow Sect and the Northern Territory was approaching.
"Haha, after closing up for many years, there is actually a new expert in the Northern Territory. But I heard he secretly made a move against my Shen Feng Sect, causing my sect to lose the chance to become one of the Four Great Sects. Today, I will come to settle this debt!"
Just then, an overwhelming voice filled with spiritual power resounded in Crimson Rainbow Sect!

u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.

esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
