Chu Yang stepped back into the Reincarnation Sect valley, the imposing aura around him slowly receding, yet in the depths of his eyes, a fleeting vision of the universe's initial chaos and destruction seemed to flash by. Having just used supreme means to strip the cultivation levels of the Lin Family elites and annihilate their existence, he not only vented his anger but also gained a deeper understanding of his own power, and the Great Dao rules of "Deprivation" and "Existence."
The bottleneck of the Heavenly Venerable Realm Peak had cracked open a massive gap after that thunderous strike. Surging power churned within his body, awaiting only a catalyst to break through the shackles and step into the legendary Saint Venerable Realm!
He stood before the Scripture Conveying Hall, sweeping his gaze downward.
Qing Xue, Yu Yin, Song Jiaojiao, and even Mo Li, who had just joined the Sect and remained silent, all sensed the increasingly profound and vast aura emanating from their Master, an aura that seemed to merge with heaven and earth, along with the terrifying pressure that erupted and subsided in an instant. They knew that their Master must have done something earth-shattering during his outing.
"Master, are you alright?" Yu Yin asked with concern, her gentle face etched with worry.
Chu Yang shook his head slightly, his gaze resting on them with a hint of imperceptible approval. After this period of cultivation and integration, these four disciples had all undergone a Complete Metamorphosis.
Qing Xue’s aura grew increasingly cold and condensed; she was only a step away from Foundation Establishment, and the composure and responsibility befitting an Eldest Senior Sister were becoming more evident in her demeanor.
Yu Yin was enveloped by harmonious Wood Spirit Qi. The completion of the Pill Pavilion allowed her to thrive, and her control over the Wood Spirit Heart Fire grew more exquisite.
Under Qing Xue's supervision, Song Jiaojiao's violent Qi and Blood had been initially restrained. Although she still occasionally caused disturbances, such as accidentally crushing stones, the restlessness in her eyes had lessened considerably, replaced by more fortitude.
As for Mo Li, under the continuous nurturing of Chu Yang's Chaos Spiritual Power, the rampant Sword Intent within her was temporarily suppressed. Her shattered Meridians showed a faint trace of Vitality. Although she remained silent, the glimmer of sword light in her lifeless eyes stabilized and no longer flickered as if about to extinguish.
"It's nothing, just clearing out a few noisy ants," Chu Yang said calmly, as if merely brushing away dust. "The Lin Family will no longer be a nuisance to you."
This lighthearted statement deeply shocked the four women! Although they didn't know the specifics, knowing their Master had personally acted and spoken these words meant the Lin Family's fate was easily imaginable! An indescribable sense of security and pride welled up in their hearts. This was their Master, their backing!
"Master is mighty!" Song Jiaojiao, being the most straightforward, excitedly waved her fists, her gaze toward Chu Yang filled with fervent adoration.
Qing Xue and Yu Yin remained silent, but the reverence and gratitude in their eyes were equally intense. Even Mo Li's vacant gaze seemed to fluctuate slightly.
Chu Yang could clearly feel that the four disciples' sense of belonging to the Sect, their loyalty, and their trust in him had reached a new height at this moment. A pure and immense wave of Fortune power fed back from them, integrating into the Sect Foundation Stone, and also pushing against his already loosening bottleneck!
Buzz!
The Spiritual Qi above the valley suddenly boiled violently. The Spirit Gathering Array Disk spun frantically, forcibly drawing in the Spiritual Qi from hundreds of miles around! In the sky, chaotic-colored thunderclouds gathered, and profound Runes flashed in the Void Space, as if the Great Dao of heaven and earth were resonating with it!
"This is... Master is about to break through?!" Qing Xue's beautiful eyes widened as she cried out in shock, sensing the immense momentum drawing upon the might of heaven and earth.
Yu Yin and Song Jiaojiao also held their breath. Mo Li raised her head, the chaotic thunderclouds reflected in her empty eyes, as if something had been stirred within her.
Elder Leng Wei instantly appeared beside Chu Yang, her expression grave. "Sect Master, breaking through here causes too much commotion; it might attract the scrutiny of stronger entities!" Although she was a Great Emperor, she felt a tremor facing the celestial phenomenon triggered by a Heavenly Venerable breaking through to Saint Venerable.
Chu Yang looked up at the sky, his gaze calm and unwavering. "It matters not. I shall use this opportunity to let certain rats hiding in the shadows gauge their own worth."
Instead of suppressing it, he actively released his aura, guiding the vast Chaos Spiritual Power to assault the barrier of the Saint Venerable Realm!
Rumble!!!
A bolt of chaotic divine thunder, as thick as a mountain, tore through the Firmament, carrying the supreme might to open worlds and reshape Reincarnation, striking down fiercely! Its target was directly at Chu Yang!
This strike was enough to easily annihilate an ordinary Heavenly Venerable!
However, Chu Yang neither dodged nor retreated, nor did he use any Divine Ability. He merely slowly raised his right hand, palm facing upward, as if intending to hold up the entire world!
The chaotic divine thunder, capable of destroying Stars, fell into his palm, yet it was like a stone sinking into the sea, not even causing a ripple before being assimilated and absorbed by the boundless Chaos Spiritual Power, transforming into the purest energy, which instead became sustenance for him to break through the bottleneck!
One, two, three...
A total of nine bolts of chaotic divine thunder, each more terrifying than the last, were all met head-on and devoured by Chu Yang using his Physical Body and Chaos Spiritual Power!
The moment the ninth divine thunder was absorbed by him, something within him seemed to shatter with a bang! A supreme aura, far surpassing the Heavenly Venerable Realm and reigning over the rules of this world, erupted like a slumbering giant dragon awakening!
The celestial phenomenon in the sky instantly subsided, replaced by a majesty akin to the "Arrival of the Dao"! Grass and trees bowed their heads, and all living beings submitted! The entire Reincarnation Sect valley was enveloped by a sacred, vast, and immortal Dao Rhyme!
The Saint Venerable Realm was achieved!
Chu Yang slowly opened his eyes, countless worlds seeming to be born and perish in the cycle of Reincarnation within them. He felt his connection to this world grow tighter; with every gesture, he could invoke the power of rules, achieving Words Manifest as Law!
"Congratulations, Sect Master/Master, on stepping into the Saint Venerable Realm!" Leng Wei and the four disciples congratulated him in unison, their voices filled with excitement and awe. Saint Venerable! This was a realm that only existed in ancient legends!
Chu Yang nodded slightly, feeling the qualitative change in the power within him, but his gaze shifted toward the System Interface. Upon reaching the Saint Venerable Realm, the System seemed to have undergone new changes as well.
Host: Chu Yang
Cultivation Level: Saint Venerable Early Stage
Cultivation Method: Chaos Heaven Opening Art Great Accomplishment
Sect: Reincarnation Sect, Fortune Flourishing
Disciples: 4/???
New Function: Sect Fortune Buff (Host and disciples within the Sect area receive a small boost to cultivation speed and Comprehension)
Unlocked Building: Enlightenment Hall (Requires Points)
Fortune Buff! Enlightenment Hall! Both are excellent tools for enhancing the Sect's foundation!
And as he officially entered the Saint Venerable Realm, the System's perception of the "Hidden Dragon in the Abyss" destiny seemed to sharpen considerably. With a slight movement of his mind, his gaze seemed to pierce through the endless Void Space, landing on a remote valley outside Qingyang City, shrouded in a faint mist.
There, he sensed an extremely hidden fluctuation of a unique destiny, one that possessed a natural affinity for Formation Arrays and seemed to merge with the Earth Vein! Another "Hidden Dragon in the Abyss," and this one appeared to be related to the Dao of Formations!
"It seems our Reincarnation Sect's fifth disciple has appeared," Chu Yang's lips curved into an arc.
He glanced at the four adoring disciples below, and at the Sect, which appeared even more unfathomable now that his Saint Venerable cultivation was stabilized.
Where the people's hearts lean, Fortune gathers. The momentum of the Sect's rise was now unstoppable.
And now, it was time to bring back the disciple who had an affinity for Formations.
I wonder what kind of extraordinary woman this one will be?
