    Chapter 450

    Su Hao gathered his thoughts as golden Diamond Armor flowed beneath his feet once more, rapidly constructing another rune array.

    This time...

    the Extinguisher.

    As spiritual power poured into it, the formation activated.

    At the same time, another layer of Fragile Defense rose around him.

    A thin blue barrier enveloped his body while faint, almost imperceptible ripples spread continuously outward.

    Su Hao calmly raised a finger.

    Life-Ending Heart-Piercing Drill!

    A golden beam shot forward and struck the defensive barrier.

    Ding!

    A crisp metallic sound echoed through the laboratory.

    Su Hao looked at the blue barrier.

    It remained completely intact.

    A faint smile appeared on his face.

    "So the Extinguisher works."

    "Now..."

    "Let's test the Bone-Corrosion Soul Devouring Technique and the Soul-Splitting Finger."

    As expected, both Soul Annihilation techniques lost their terrifying corrosive properties the moment they entered the Extinguisher's field.

    Their spiritual power destabilized in advance, becoming nothing more than ordinary offensive techniques.

    The dreaded annihilation effect...

    had vanished entirely.

    Only then did Su Hao finally let out a long breath.

    He withdrew from his Life Bearer form and quietly arranged his next research objectives.

    "First, miniaturize the Extinguisher."

    "It needs to be integrated directly into the Life Bearer armor."

    "The current effective range is only fifty meters. That's too small."

    "I'll increase it to at least two hundred meters."

    "After that..."

    "I'll make several portable defensive artifacts for Master and the others."

    "And finally..."

    "I'll complete customized Foundation Establishment methods for Yashan and Feng Cheng."

    There was no shortage of work.

    One task after another.

    One problem after another.

    As always.


    ---

    Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

    The Extinguisher had now been completely integrated into the Fragile Defense formation.

    Its effective range had expanded dramatically, reaching nearly two hundred meters.

    From this day onward, Su Hao possessed yet another layer of protection.

    Without the threat of Soul Annihilation techniques...

    a Unity cultivator was merely an oversized Nascent Soul cultivator in his eyes.

    He felt an unprecedented sense of ease.

    At present, nothing in the cultivation world seemed capable of threatening him.

    Which also meant...

    he could finally sit down and have a proper conversation with the Unity cultivators.

    That was far more important than defeating them.

    Knowledge was obtained through communication.

    Violence was only reserved for those unwilling to communicate.


    ---

    "The next step..."

    "Bracelets."

    Su Hao thought quietly.

    "They're large enough to house the formation, convenient to wear, and suitable for Master and the others."

    Another month passed.

    Not only had Su Hao completed all four defensive bracelets, he had also organized exclusive Foundation Establishment techniques for both Yashan and Feng Cheng.

    Just then—

    A distant bell rang throughout Moonwatch Valley.

    Dong—

    Dong—

    ...

    Nine solemn bell chimes echoed across every mountain peak.

    The sound pierced through Su Hao's experimental base and clearly reached his ears.

    The moment the ninth bell faded...

    his Spiritual Sense immediately detected movement throughout the entire sect.

    Every cultivator had been alarmed.

    Something major had clearly happened.

    Su Hao frowned.

    He had never heard the sect sound the bell like this before.

    At that moment, a message from Yashan arrived.

    > Boss Wei, do you know what the nine bell chimes mean?



    Su Hao replied,

    > No. I'll go investigate first.




    ---

    He stood up, pushed open the laboratory door, and locked onto Feng Ling's location with his Spiritual Sense.

    Then he rose into the sky using the Wind Escape Technique, flying toward the Disciple Hall.

    Whenever something significant occurred within the sect...

    the Disciple Hall was always the quickest place to learn the details.

    That had always been the case.


    ---

    Before long, Su Hao spotted Feng Ling waiting anxiously outside the hall.

    The moment she saw him, she immediately waved.

    "Feng Wei! Over here!"

    Her voice naturally drew the attention of many nearby cultivators.

    Almost every Nascent Soul cultivator present instinctively turned toward Su Hao.

    Their Spiritual Sense had already informed them that another Nascent Soul cultivator was approaching.

    They assumed it must be some senior elder.

    Yet when they finally saw him...

    everyone was stunned.

    A young man with unusually short hair walked over with a relaxed smile.

    His hairstyle looked rather strange by the standards of the cultivation world.

    Yet that couldn't conceal the extraordinary aura surrounding him.

    Combined with his handsome features and unmistakable Nascent Soul aura...

    only one thought appeared in everyone's mind.

    Presence.

    He looked like someone who naturally stood above the crowd.


    ---

    "Which Nascent Soul Elder is this?"

    "Why have I never seen him before?"

    "That disciple just called him Feng Wei..."

    "Which elder is Feng Wei?"

    Everyone searched their memories.

    None of the sects had a Nascent Soul elder matching this appearance.

    They had originally prepared polite greetings.

    Now...

    they didn't know what to say.

    If they addressed him incorrectly...

    it would only embarrass themselves.


    ---

    Meanwhile, Feng Ling happily walked over.

    "Feng Wei, it's been so long!"

    "You've been hiding in cultivation all this time."

    "I tried visiting you several times, but you never came out."

    Su Hao smiled.

    "I've been cultivating."

    "You know how it is."

    "Master, do you know what happened?"

    Feng Ling immediately shook her head.

    "I have no idea."

    "This is the first time I've heard the Nine Bell Summons since joining Moonwatch Valley over thirty years ago."

    Su Hao looked at her in surprise.

    "So Master is already over forty?"

    Feng Ling instantly froze.

    She had accidentally revealed her age.

    Seeing her embarrassed expression, Su Hao simply continued,

    "Master, why haven't you broken through to the Golden Core Realm yet?"

    "Did you encounter some difficulties?"

    The question landed like another heavy blow.

    Feng Ling felt like crying.


    ---

    Just then, Yashan arrived together with Feng Cheng and Feng Yuer.

    Yun Qingping had already gone to find his own master.

    Yashan respectfully bowed.

    "Elder Feng Wei."

    Nearby cultivators once again shifted their attention toward Su Hao.

    Meanwhile, many younger disciples couldn't help stealing glances at Feng Yuer.

    Her appearance attracted attention wherever she went.


    ---

    At that moment, a Golden Core cultivator stepped forward.

    He respectfully cupped his fists.

    "Elder Feng Wei."

    "I am Feng Yong."

    "May I ask..."

    "Does Elder know what has happened?"

    Feng Ling blinked.

    "...?"

    Feng Cheng blinked.

    "...?"

    Feng Yuer blinked.

    "...?"

    Elder Feng Wei?

    Since when had Feng Wei become an elder?

    Why hadn't any of them heard about this?


    ---

    Su Hao simply shook his head.

    "I don't know either."

    Feng Yong looked surprised.

    "Even Elder Feng Wei doesn't know?"

    "I really don't."

    Su Hao smiled.

    "And I'm still just a disciple."

    "Not an elder."

    Feng Yong became even more confused.

    Feng Ling couldn't help asking,

    "Senior Feng Yong..."

    "Since when did Feng Wei become an elder?"

    "I never heard anything about it."

    "Isn't one only qualified after reaching the Nascent Soul Realm?"

    Feng Yong looked at her in astonishment.

    "But..."

    "Elder Feng Wei is clearly a Nascent Soul cultivator."

    Feng Ling immediately replied,

    "Senior Feng Yong..."

    "Feng Wei is my disciple."

    "..."

    Feng Yong stood there completely dumbfounded.

    His mind simply stopped working.


    ---

    At that moment, Su Hao calmly explained,

    "It's true that I've reached the Nascent Soul Realm."

    "But I haven't officially become an elder yet."

    "I only broke through recently."

    "So there's nothing particularly surprising about it."

    Silence.

    Absolute silence.

    Everyone who heard those words stared blankly at him.

    Their attention instantly shifted away from Feng Yuer.

    Every gaze landed on Su Hao.

    Did they hear that correctly?

    He had just broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm?

    Looking at that youthful face...

    there was still a trace of boyishness.

    He looked barely twenty years old.

    Cultivators who had lived for centuries could naturally distinguish between youthful appearance and genuine youth.

    This young man...

    was truly that young.

    And just moments ago...

    Feng Ling had said that this Nascent Soul cultivator...

    was her disciple.

    Was that even possible?


    ---

    Feng Ling finally came back to her senses.

    She stared at Su Hao blankly before asking in an uncertain voice,

    "Feng Wei..."

    "Did you just say..."

    "you've broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm?"

    As only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, she had yet to develop Spiritual Sense.

    She couldn't perceive the quality of Su Hao's spiritual power.

    Even after hearing him say it himself...

    her mind still struggled to accept it.

    It felt like a childhood friend leaving home for only two years...

    only to return as the world's greatest scientist.

    Probably joke is around a word boss and elder.
    老板(laoban) is a boss
    老 (lao) is an elder.
    So yashan said boss Wei, but shortened it to elder Wei. And others assumed he is a sect elder.
    Translation is not the best tbh.
