The current cultivation was undoubtedly a heaven-sent cultivation opportunity.
What Yun Yang had done was to maximize his gains this time around, to the extreme!
Now that everyone was forced to move forward by the spiritual Qi tide, such an opportunity was destined to be difficult to replicate.
Given such a good opportunity, Yun Yang naturally wanted to use all means to help the core forces of his sect achieve the maximum breakthrough.
Even if the time was not ripe yet, he wanted to help them forcibly break through even though he knew it was like pulling a seedling up to hasten its growth.
Those who received this extra treatment also included Sun Mingxiu, Yun Xiuxin, Hu Xiaofan, and the other top ten disciples …
As Yun Yang's thoughts flickered, wisps of aura entered their bodies under the cover of the torrential rain, improving their aptitude, changing their roots, and breaking through the shackles of their cultivation base …
…
This continued for a full twenty hours!
Since the beginning of the merging ceremony, it had lasted for an afternoon, then a dark night, and the next morning.
The spiritual Qi storm had cleansed the mountains and rivers within ten thousand miles around the Residence of Nine Supremes, and all the potholes were filled to the brim with spiritual liquid!
However, just as the rain in the sky was about to recede, something strange happened again!
Somewhere in the Residence of Nine Supremes' territory, a magnificent aura shot into the sky, causing the gathering of heaven and earth spiritual Qi to change again!
The expressions of Dongfang Haoran and the other three changed again. Ximen Fanfu said in surprise, "This is … the aura of another high-level Saint Emperor cultivator breaking through. There's another high-level Saint Emperor in the Residence of Nine Supremes?"
It was Dong Qitian, who had been supporting the Residence of Nine Supremes' great hall in the sky, who had also broken through!
Although Yun Yang did not specifically instill the Qi of Life and Dao into Dong Qitian, the latter's cultivation base had long reached the pinnacle of third-grade Saint Emperor. Today, with the unprecedented gathering of heaven and earth spiritual Qi and the support of the Residence of Nine Supremes' Celestial Luck Banner, it was not unimaginable for him to break through!
With Dong Qitian's unexpected breakthrough, the spiritual rain that was about to dissipate lasted for a while longer. It lasted for almost an hour before the spiritual rain stopped and the sky turned clear again.
As the spiritual rain faded, the Residence of Nine Supremes' Celestial Luck Banner quietly returned to its original position, still fluttering in the air.
However, the color of the Residence of Nine Supremes' Celestial Luck Banner was no longer silver. Instead, it was a faint golden hue amidst the brilliance of clouds!
Pale gold!
What did this mean?
The four Hall Masters of the Eastern Celestial Palace were all letting out long, drawn-out sighs. Their expressions were complicated, and their mouths were filled with bitterness.
This was especially true for the Holy Soul Hall, which was ranked last among the four halls. They were in a daze.
The Residence of Nine Supremes was only one more attempt away from becoming a palace-class gold class Celestial Luck Banner!
And this time, the four great palaces were well aware that this attack was unstoppable!
Even Saint Origin Palace, which ranked first among all the palaces, was no match for Residence of Nine Supremes, whose strength had improved by leaps and bounds!
In other words, one of the four great palaces had to be demoted.
Other than the weakest Holy Soul Palace, there wouldn't be anyone else that would be demoted.
How could this not be bitter?
'Am I here today to witness the rise of the Residence of Nine Supremes, or to witness the fall of the Holy Soul Palace?
'To most of the other sects that have gained a lot of benefits here, the Holy Soul Palace is really unlucky …'
After almost a whole day, the people present finally woke up as if they had just woken up from a dream!
The ceremony was officially announced to be over.
Other than the palace-class experts who were asked to stay by the palace masters, the other sects were given a small gift according to the number of people they had and sent it out of the Residence of Nine Supremes.
However, the encounter that lasted only for this day had made every one of the hundreds of thousands of martial artists present feel that they had gained a lot. It had even become the most glorious, the most bizarre, and the greatest opportunity of their lives.
Even decades or centuries later, the encounter this time would still be widely remembered and passed down by word of mouth.
After this day, the Residence of Nine Supremes had completely become synonymous with a fairyland.
Yes, it was a fairyland, a place that had surpassed the fairyland of the mortal world. This was already the highest level of praise!
Have you ever seen a downpour of spiritual liquid from the sky?
Have you ever seen mountains and fields filled with tens of thousands of miles of treasures of heaven and earth?
Have you ever seen a place where even bedbugs can cultivate?
Have you ever seen a place where even rats can fly?
Have you ever seen a place where you can break through to the Honor Realm in ten years and boast about your extraordinary aptitude and encounters?
That's just your shallow knowledge. To make someone break through from the Saint Lord to the Saint Lord in a day, how much more aptitude and encounters can you judge?
I've seen all of these and experienced them personally!
Let me ask you, are you awesome or not?
…
"This day and night is simply a miraculous day and night!"
Xiao Wuyi waited until all the participants had left, but he still stood where he was in a daze, motionless.
His entire body was trembling with excitement, and the rims of his eyes were red. If he was not in public, his tears would definitely have gushed out.
It had only been less than a day!
He had truly and thoroughly broken through the shackles that he had not been able to break through for thousands of years, and he had even broken through to the pinnacle of the first-tier Saint Lord!
He was only waiting for the next opportunity to break through again!
To Xiao Wuyi, this was something that he dared not even dream of.
More than once, he had thought that perhaps he would die at the pinnacle of the fourth-tier Saint Lord for the rest of his life. He did not expect that he would break through during the ceremony at the beginning of the merger of the sects – a massive breakthrough!
Lang Fantian and the others were shaking as well, unable to contain their excitement and speechlessness. They too had improved tremendously.
Also, Ping Zhenyue and the other original members of the Phoenix Cry Sect had improved even more. They were originally a middle-ranked sect, and their overall strength was much inferior to the General Commerce Alliance. Now that they had suddenly experienced an unprecedented Spirit Qi baptism, many of them could not bear it and had their meridians ruptured. However, they were instantly healed, and they advanced triumphantly …
Something like this was truly inconceivable. It was an unimaginably great opportunity.
Similarly, the Residence of Ninth Supremes, Ling Xiaozui, Dugu Chou, and the others were reminiscing.
This opportunity had come too beautifully … The feeling of their cultivation base improving by leaps and bounds …
Really, even if it happened a hundred times … it would not be too much!
In comparison, the original disciples of the Residence of Nine Supremes were slightly calmer.
Although there was more commotion this time, they had experienced similar situations many times before. Could they be more composed?
At the back mountain of the Residence of Nine Supremes, Dong Qitian, who had not appeared all this while and was only sensed by the four rulers, was filled with mixed feelings as well. He could clearly feel his cultivation base, which was unusually unfamiliar to him. It was an indescribably powerful force that made his blood boil with excitement.
Was this the fourth-tier pinnacle Saint Lord that he had been yearning for? He had achieved it so easily!
From third-tier pinnacle Saint Lord to fourth-tier pinnacle Saint Lord, he had thought that he would need another ten thousand years of accumulation before he had a chance to break through. Unexpectedly, he had broken through in less than a day!
Old Dong felt that his decision to join the Residence of Nine Supremes was too wise, too decisive, and too correct!
As for Yun Yang's mockery and provocation, he could not be bothered at all. It was insignificant!
'As long as I have this day, even if I have to point at my nose and call me an old bastard … it's worth it!'
Old Dong thought contentedly.
"Everyone, go back and rest for three days. Familiarize yourself with your current state and stabilize your state of mind!"
Yun Yang passed down the order.
"You must adapt to your new strength within three days!"
…
There were not many people left in this manner.
The three heavenly palaces, the Holy Land of Tian Fa, the Four Halls, Three Talents, Five Corners Saint Lords, and the various Beast Kings of the Holy Land of Tian Fa were only a few hundred people.
Yun Yang had made all the necessary arrangements.
Besides, the three great families, as the only families in the Bound of Universe with gold class Celestial Luck Banners, were also left behind.
Most of the people who stayed felt that there was still a good show to watch. All of them were somewhat excited and expectant, but there was also a small group of people who were frowning.
We want to go back!
We don't want to stay here!
But … you can't leave even if you want to.
Because … the main characters later include you!
The three palace lords of the heavenly palaces were here and did not allow me to leave. How would I dare to leave?
Guan Muye, the lord of the Holy Soul Palace, was sullen and depressed, like a resentful wife.
These three days were also the time for the guests who stayed behind to digest what they had learned.
…
"Qian Duoduo, what's wrong with you?" Yun Yang looked at the only fellow who looked so gloomy amidst the elation. "We're all on the same side, brothers. Tell me about it!"
The others were puzzled as well.
At this moment when everyone in the Residence of Nine Supremes was rejoicing, Qian Duoduo, the majordomo of the Residence of Nine Supremes and the person with the most power, wore a gloomy face as if someone owed him millions of dollars. He looked like he was about to burst into tears and rage. What was the reason for this?
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Qian Duoduo wore an ugly smile and heaved a long sigh. "It's just that something has stirred up in my heart."
"What is it? It's such a joyous day. Why are you so dejected? "
Qian Duoduo hesitated and said, "I think many people have guessed that I'm from the Qian Family. Yes, I'm from the Qian Family." He chuckled bitterly. "The Qian Family, the world's number one financial magnate."
The crowd was dumbfounded when they heard him.
There were probably only two superpowers in the Bound of Universe that were famous for their business. One was the General Commerce League, which used martial arts to supplement business. Their business was spread all over the world, focusing on auctions and smuggling goods. They also dealt in stolen goods. Strictly speaking, the General Commerce League was famous for its business, but it was not so pure. It was just that compared to other sects, it did not focus on business.
As for the world's top financial magnate, the Qian Family, it was the true business family. Its wealth was even greater than the General Commerce League, and it was involved in all kinds of business. However, the Qian Family and the General Commerce League's main business was different, so the two families did not have much interaction.
The Qian Family was truly involved in all kinds of industries! They regarded the entire Bound of Universe as their own market. They were the undisputed number one financial magnate for tens of thousands of years.
Qian Duoduo was the first to follow Yun Yang among the people in the Residence of Nine Supremes. He could even be said to be the other founder of the Residence of Nine Supremes. After the Residence of Nine Supremes was established, he had worked hard and his position was even higher than Shi Wuchen and the others.
To put it bluntly, other than Yun Yang, the Residence of Nine Supremes could not do without Qian Duoduo. Without Qian Duoduo, the chief logistics officer, the Residence of Nine Supremes would immediately fall into chaos. It was even more so today. In the Bound of Universe, where cultivation base was the most important and combat power was the most important, Qian Duoduo had obtained the position of being second only to one and above tens of thousands of people in the massive Residence of Nine Supremes with a cultivation base that was almost insignificant. It was truly something that could not be done by others.
Therefore, the higher-ups of the Residence of Nine Supremes, Shi Wuchen and the others, and even Yun Yang himself, had long had doubts and speculations about Qian Duoduo's background. It was just that Qian Duoduo was unwilling to talk about his past. Since they were brothers, naturally, no one provoked him. Now that he had revealed his background, everyone was shocked, but it was only a shock. After all, the Residence of Nine Supremes today could be said to be a family with a huge business. Even the world's number one financial magnate could hardly restrain it.
With a glance, Qian Duoduo realized that everyone present was a part of the Residence of Nine Supremes. He could no longer hold it in. He let out a long sigh and said, "Back then, the Qian Family produced a useless genius … He was a genius in business, but his cultivation was useless … If this person was someone else, the Qian Family would be happy to see it happen. After all, the Qian Family is famous for its business. However, if this useless genius had another identity, the son of the family leader, things would be completely different. I'm sure everyone is familiar with this matter, right? "
Shi Wuchen and the others nodded. Not only were they familiar with it, but they were also familiar with it.
The fact that the young leader of the Qian Family lacked aptitude and could hardly make any progress in his cultivation had indeed caused an uproar in the entire Bound of Universe. If the future leader of the family could not cultivate, so what if he was a genius in business?
Without a certain level of ability, there would be no foundation, and in the end, he would not be able to defend himself!
This was the case even in the Qian Family, which was famous for its business.
"The young leader of the family, the useless genius … was my grandfather, my biological grandfather!"
Qian Duoduo chuckled bitterly and said, "Grandfather and great-grandfather made the decision very quickly to resign from the position of heir. Unable to cultivate, even if you had the wealth of the world, you would only end up as a puppet, precarious at any time. Any action by someone with ulterior motives could kill you without a burial place. Instead of being vigilant and laboring your entire life, it was better to give it up early in exchange for a peaceful life."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
It was true that no matter how much of a genius one was in business, in the martial world of the Bound of Universe, one's ability was always the most important. This was even more so for someone who had no cultivation base at all!
Qian Duoduo's grandfather's decision to resign from the position as soon as possible could be said to be the wisest decision.
"However, the first generation ancestor of the Qian Family, Qian Yuntian, had once left behind a sentence before he passed away. It was … gather people, gather wealth, gather virtue, gather strength; hands are not capable of trapping a chicken, but the heart is capable of subduing a dragon; the phoenix can rise to nirvana, and man can triumph over the heavens; after a difficult journey, there is no way forward; when one achieves the Dao, the whole family will ascend to immortality."
"This prophecy had always puzzled the Qian Family, and they did not know what it was referring to. It was not until my grandfather was born that we heard some anecdotes about the wastrel genius … At that time, my Qian Family's Grand Elder, Qian Luosheng, did not know what was going through his mind, but he was certain that my grandfather was like that … hands are not capable of trapping a chicken, but the heart is capable of subduing a dragon; that he would rise to nirvana in the future, and man will triumph over the heavens … So, he was determined not to allow my grandfather to resign from his position … "
"In the beginning, with Grand Elder Qian Luosheng protecting our family, we lived in harmony. The Qian Family has always been known for its business, and we rarely had any external enemies. As long as the family's wealth remained strong, outsiders would not be able to shake us. However, after my great-grandfather went into closed-door cultivation, and my grandfather began to take charge of the family's affairs, internal strife began to grow. It was at that time that Grand Elder Qian Luosheng went berserk in his cultivation and passed away. Our family lost its support … My grandfather initially hoped that my great-grandfather would be able to achieve a breakthrough and stabilize the situation, but unfortunately, what happened was that my great-grandfather did not achieve a breakthrough in his closed-door cultivation. Instead, he overdrafted his life's potential, and his lifespan came to an end early.
"… Following the deaths of Grand Elder and great-grandfather, the entire family looked on coldly from the sidelines, waiting to see if my grandfather would be able to put on a show of the phoenix's nirvana … But in the end, for some reason, my grandfather drank too much one night and died …"
'Died?!'
Everyone was speechless.
'We were also waiting for your grandfather to be able to trapping a chicken, but the heart is capable of subduing a dragon. 'We were also waiting to hear about your grandfather's nirvana in the end. In the end, you threw out such a big suspense, but the main character died …'
