Ms. Doctor Divine

“We came across you at a crucial juncture in your breakthrough. Concerned that your concentration might be disrupted, we decided to provide protection,” Elder Lin explained their presence. He expressed his concern, adding, “You’re still quite young, and there’s no rush to force a breakthrough. Many disciples of the Supreme Sect have attempted countless times to unravel the secrets of this process. Moreover, your cultivation level surpasses that of many disciples, so patience is key.”

Having shared these words, Elder Lin began to feel somewhat reassured.

In reality, he also grappled with a tinge of guilt.

Leaving aside everything else, no member of the Supreme Sect had managed to attain the Paragon Realm with a True Spiritual Root before.

While the elders were present, they monitored the progress, intertwining their discussions with Guardians.

As anticipated, the outcome aligned with their expectations.

Although Elder Lin often appeared irritating, he held genuine fondness for his disciple. Whenever possible, he wished for her to attempt the breakthrough. This motivation drove him to persistently encourage her, aiming to shield her from discouragement and the challenges associated with such a transformation.

Yet, his support was bound by limitations.

Gu Chaoyan acknowledged with a nod. “I appreciate your guidance, Elder. I comprehend.”

She discerned Elder Lin’s benevolence.

Her anxiety over not achieving Paragon status remained latent.

However, that didn’t pose a significant concern.

In addition to deciphering the phoenix fire technique on this day—an accomplishment most individuals wouldn’t manage throughout their entire lifetime—she recognized its substantial value. Such progress warranted celebration.

Furthermore, if her inability to attain Paragon status stemmed from her spiritual roots, she found solace in this prospect. Her spiritual roots had consistently nurtured her, and she firmly believed that with the passage of time, they would refine and become increasingly pristine.

In due course, she anticipated achieving the breakthrough she sought.

Even though she yearned for swift progress, Gu Chaoyan maintained a clear understanding of her circumstances.

Thus, her confidence remained unshaken, irrespective of whether she heeded the advice or not.

Observing her resilient disposition, Elder Lin’s assurance grew. “We depart for Wuyuan Island tomorrow. Make the necessary preparations to journey with us.”

“Understood,” Gu Chaoyan replied respectfully. Elder Lin’s genuine concern seemed to have heightened her regard for him.

Subsequently, Elder Lin and his companions vacated Gu Chaoyan’s quarters.

The elders couldn’t help but feel a twinge of regret.

Gu Chaoyan emanated remarkable composure.

Recalling her recent adeptness in employing the phoenix fire technique within her consciousness, she now aimed to ascertain its mastery in practice.

Concentrating intently, Gu Chaoyan extended her hands, summoning a sphere of phoenix flames.

“A triumph!” Gu Chaoyan exhaled joyfully.

“You…” The Dragonman that had been dozing in her arms for the past few days suddenly leapt to attention. Witnessing her manipulation of phoenix fire, astonishment enveloped him. “You…”

It had perpetually held the perception that the individual who bestowed it upon its father was excessively feeble, and that its father had displayed undue nonchalance.

However, at this moment..

A realization appeared to dawn upon it—that its father was indeed the source of this boon.

For a brief interlude, the Dragonman’s countenance bore an enigmatic expression, only to revert back to the vexing demeanor he had frequently donned before. “I’m flabbergasted by your competence.. You look like a dumb person!”
