Chapter 345: Chapter 344: A Celestial Venerable Realm Clone
"Haha, not bad, not bad at all!"
"Another one in the Innate Realm..."
Liu Wushuang surveyed the surrounding crowd with a broad smile, feeling incredibly pleased.
The benefits of this wave of breakthroughs were widespread. So many Star Martial Artists were crossing into major realms, popping up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it a city-wide promotion!
On this day, the heavens had surely blessed Jianghai City!
’I wonder if there are any promising new recruits to join the gang,’
Liu Wushuang thought, unable to suppress the smile on his face as he sized up the Star Martial Artists meditating nearby, searching for exceptionally gifted geniuses.
It wasn’t that the Heaven-Blasting Gang was short on people.
But bringing in some exceptionally talented Star Martial Artists to serve as Outer Disciples, running errands and doing odd jobs, was always a case of the more, the merrier!
Just as he was amusing himself with the thought,
Suddenly!
A vast and powerful aura erupted from the northwest!
It swept across the entire area outside Fuhai’s walls.
Plants and trees were bent and broken as the Heaven and Earth Laws were stirred, directly causing a tremendous tremor!
"Hm? Is this the Power of Laws?!"
Seeing this, Liu Wushuang’s brow furrowed slightly. He whipped his head around, following the aura with his gaze, and immediately recognized who was breaking through—
It was actually Lin Mofeng!
Having not seen him for many days, Liu Wushuang narrowed his eyes and assessed Lin Mofeng, discovering that his aura had already reached the Middle Stage of Grandmaster.
He had lingered in the Grandmaster Realm for a long time, and now, having received the Young Master’s blessing, he was successfully seizing this opportunity to make a final charge toward the Peak Realm!
In that instant, a furious wind began to swirl!
The Power of Laws slowly spread outward.
Lin Mofeng sat cross-legged on the grass. Star Force flowed and transformed around him, erupting with a luster like Molten Red Gold. His aura climbed higher and higher as he greedily absorbed the surrounding Spiritual Qi.
Strands of golden silk energy drifted down, all of them entering his body.
An immense power was contained within.
The Golden Silk Dragon Qi filled his body and swiftly coursed through him, directly igniting the furnace of his physical form. His momentum surged, and golden light rained down like a torrential downpour.
Every breath he took was a refinement.
A moment later,
Lin Mofeng finally opened his eyes slowly. He looked down at his well-defined fists, a simple yet dense aura of Law flowing around them, and casually threw a punch at the empty ground beside him.
The void instantly buckled and fractured, forming a web of spider-like cracks.
"I’ve finally reached the Peak of Grandmaster."
Lin Mofeng nodded in satisfaction, already very pleased with his gains. He looked up at the Golden Dragon soaring gracefully through the sky, his eyes filled with sincere gratitude.
Although he was still only at the Peak of Grandmaster,
now that his body had been nourished by the Dragon Qi, his meridians had also been transformed. He was no longer an ordinary Grandmaster Realm cultivator. In the future, if he encountered anyone of the same rank, he could easily crush them!
He was now absolutely invincible among his peers!!
...
...
At the courtyard entrance,
pear blossoms had been ground to dust. Li Zixuan sat cross-legged on the grass, her white robes fluttering in the morning breeze, as a purple sword circled around her.
After being bathed in the golden light, she too was welcoming a breakthrough in her Realm.
At this moment, the area around her had been completely cleared.
In a mere instant, a storm of Sword Qi formed, its metallic edge drifting like a curtain of rain. Li Zixuan’s gaze was sharp, and the Ziwei Divine Sword hummed softly, as if the starlight of the Ziwei star itself was acting as her Protector.
The next moment,
CLANG!
A sharp sword aura burst forth.
Nearby rocks were pulverized, leaving no trace behind.
The Sword Qi expanded!
And expanded again!
An immense Sword Intent erupted horizontally!
It instantly swelled to a terrifying size, like an army of thousands charging with swords drawn, and seemed about to slash at the people nearby.
The whistling wind was piercing!
But just when it was mere inches away,
Li Zixuan’s eyes snapped open as she reined in her power. In an instant, the Sword Qi dissipated, vanishing into thin air.
She controlled it with ease, like a sword returning to its sheath.
"I’m almost there, Senior Brother,"
Li Zixuan murmured softly. She raised two fingers, feeling the Sword Qi coiling around their tips, as the Ziwei Divine Sword circling behind her let out a series of clear, crisp hums.
She was close to reaching the Mahayana of the Sword Dao!
But one final barrier remained unbroken. She still had to focus.
...
"What terrifying talent!"
Li Qinghe stood in a safe area to the side, glancing at the Ziwei Divine Sword near Li Zixuan, then looking up at the Golden Dragon soaring gracefully in the sky.
Unconsciously,
she realized that the gap between her and Li Zixuan seemed to be growing wider and wider.
In terms of Sword Dao talent, she was completely left in the dust.
After all, she was naturally more inclined toward things like Arrays. If she wanted to keep up with Xuanxuan’s Cultivation, her only hope was to get some help from Qin Yang.
’Forget it. I’ll just have to ask Master for some special tutoring later,’ Li Qinghe thought with a pout. ’If I keep falling behind my cousin... it would be too embarrassing to admit.’
But just then,
a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her.
"What special tutoring?"
"Tsk, what bad things are you saying about your master now?"
Qin Yang had suddenly appeared out of nowhere behind her.
The moment he finished speaking,
Li Qinghe jumped in fright. Her delicate frame trembled as she shot up from the ground, only then realizing that Qin Yang was right beside her.
"???"
"Master, when did you get here?" Li Qinghe asked, astonished.
"Just a moment ago."
Qin Yang shook his head, not wanting to dwell on it. He turned his attention to Li Zixuan, and his eyes instantly lit up.
At this moment, Li Zixuan’s Sword Intent was on full display, and even the Ziwei Divine Sword willingly followed her lead.
’No wonder the system designated her as an Emperor Venerable Realm expert five hundred years in the future!’
’Just this disposition and talent alone...’
’It’s absolutely unprecedented!’
’This girl’s comprehension is truly extraordinary. In that case, let me give you another push.’
Qin Yang raised two fingers. The Power of Heaven and Earth Laws gathered, twisting together like five-colored threads until they formed the shape of a small, sharp sword.
With a flick of his hand, he sent it gently toward Li Zixuan.
The next moment,
a streak of light shot into her body.
BOOM!
In an instant!
Li Zixuan’s Sword Intent achieved profound mastery!
The final obstacle to the Mahayana of the Sword Dao was swept away!
It was incredibly easy!
Seeing this from the side, Li Qinghe’s eyes went wide. As she watched Li Zixuan’s aura soar to its peak, she couldn’t sit still any longer.
’Special tutoring?’
???
’Favoritism!’
’This is just blatant favoritism!’
’Other people at least try to be discreet when they give someone special treatment, but Qin Yang is doing it right in front of everyone?’
’Couldn’t he at least try to hide it?!’
"Master, your disciple wants some too!"
Li Qinghe was instantly displeased, and she immediately sidled up to him, shamelessly trying to curry favor.
"Tsk, you want everything..."
Qin Yang rolled his eyes. "Next time for sure!"
With that,
Qin Yang ignored her antics. A scarlet light appeared at his fingertip as he used the Blood Dao Laws to extract a wisp of Essence Blood from his body.
Then, with a flick of his finger,
he sent it flying toward an empty patch of ground not far away.
GURGLE GURGLE!
The Essence Blood took root upon landing, transforming into a sea of blood, which then morphed into a humanoid clone that exuded a tyrannical aura—
Early Stage of Celestial Venerable.
"Haha, just as I thought!"
Qin Yang retracted his Spiritual Power’s senses, his mood instantly improving.
"So someone in the Middle Stage of Celestial Venerable Realm really can create an Early Stage clone!"
’With this technique,’ he thought, ’the next time the Beast God attacks, I can use the power of my Celestial Venerable Realm clone to unleash a spectacular, earth-shattering eruption of power! I’ll make sure he never returns alive!’
