The shadow of the man in black vanished. He had given up the chance to transcend from the ground and ascend to the starry sky. Yun Yang would not believe it if he said that he was not shaken or even regretful.
In spite of this, Yun Yang believed that he could also ascend to the starry sky with his own strength. He was indignant to achieve such a state with the help of external forces, especially at a time like this.
He was more worried that he would lose something.
If he had gone up with the help of the man in black, Yun Yang was sure that although he could attain the power of the starry sky, it would be hard for him to improve in this lifetime. He would never be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the elder brother he had just acknowledged, let alone attain the supreme position of the starry sky.
However, when Yun Yang stepped on the first step of the seventh floor's staircase, the tinge of regret that he had initially felt was magnified abruptly. It was an overwhelming sense of regret that could not be further compounded.
If he had known earlier, he would have asked his elder brother to send him up. Actually, it was already good enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with the almighty. At least, it was much better than bearing the suffering before his eyes …
The moment he stepped on the stairs, Yun Yang felt a piercing pain shoot up from his feet. A few powerful forces surged upwards, unstoppable and unstoppable, rampaging through his flesh and blood like hacksaws. A moment later, thousands of gusts of chilly wind descended from his Baihui acupoint, filling his brain, chest, and internal organs …
Another moment later, countless forces and types of forces surged forward, converging towards Yun Yang like a myriad of Qi returning to its origin.
Not only could Yun Yang not defend against such a force, he could not even defend himself against it. His flesh, bones, meridians, deific consciousness, and soul … every part of him was pulverized under the overwhelming force.
Yes, pulverized. Not only was he dismembered and broken inch by inch, but he was literally pulverized into powder!
Right now, Yun Yang was like a ball of mud, slumped to the ground, allowing the invading force to knead him as it pleased.
What was even more bizarre was that Yun Yang's senses were still present under such circumstances, and they were unprecedentedly sensitive!
This had also resulted in Yun Yang being able to feel every bit of pain that he had to endure clearly and without mistake.
However, this unprecedentedly sensitive sense was what broke Yun Yang the most.
How good would it be if he had fainted?
How blissful was that?
Even if he died directly, he wouldn't have to endure such extreme pain!
I want to give up!
In spite of this, Yun Yang was not dead nor had he fainted. In fact, he was feeling everything that was happening in a state that was more lucid than usual.
Even if his physical body perished, his spirit was still full of energy!
His spirit and consciousness were still a hundred times more spirited than before!
Yun Yang almost cursed. His father's physical body was gone, and his nerves of pain should have been severed as well. How could he still feel it?
This shouldn't be the case. It was completely different from the understanding of cultivation he had along the way!
However, it was one thing for his physical body to shatter and his soul to dissipate, but Yun Yang's life force was still intact. If he did not adapt, he would stay here forever.
Yun Yang struggled to save himself amidst the excruciating pain. His physical body had turned into dust, but he was still nearby. His soul had dissipated and was scattered around as well. He needed to save himself. Only by saving himself could he have hope and a chance. If he gave up now, he would only be paralyzed and he would not be able to get through this stage.
Yun Yang gathered his scattered soul amidst the excruciating pain. Finally, after the previous incident, Yun Yang's soul had grown stronger due to his deific consciousness. Although it was scattered by countless forces, he could still sense and control it. As Yun Yang gathered his soul bit by bit, he used the power of his soul as a foundation to reconstruct his body from head to toe, bit by bit!
However, with every bit of flesh and blood that was reconstructed, the pain that came with it increased by several folds.
The excruciating pain that filled every part of his body and heart was incessant, assaulting Yun Yang's spirit without a break. Yun Yang had finally reconstructed his shoulder, but an unprecedented pain assaulted him, distracting him for a moment. His newly reconstructed physical body crumbled again, all his efforts going down the drain.
"…"
Yun Yang cursed ten thousand different profanities in his heart, using them to vent the emotions that felt like a million beasts were galloping past him.
However, there was no other way. If he failed, he could only start all over again.
There was only one way to describe such a situation – he had to endure the torture of a thousand cuts and yet he had to laugh heartily, without the slightest bit of reluctance.
He had to be happy from the bottom of his heart, and he could not be distracted at all. A slight distraction meant that he had to start all over again. All his efforts would vanish in an instant …
Yun Yang, who had maintained a clear mind, was extremely dispirited. Was this really him? Could he really make it? Could he actually do it?
After a full two hours, Yun Yang had finally regathered his physical body. However, his physical body was extremely frail now. He was only sustained by the power of his deific consciousness. There was not a single ounce of energy left in him. He stayed where he was, slowly adjusting his breath and recuperating his foundation.
However, in the process of nurturing his body, Yun Yang was shocked to realize that the flesh and skin of his reconstructed body was glowing with a faint silver light. The sturdiness of his body had increased by almost half compared to before.
"Although there's a significant improvement … the price is too high. I might have to stay here forever if I'm not careful!"
Yun Yang, whose physical body had been fully restored, could finally catch his breath. Without any discomfort, he stepped onto the second step naturally. "The second step shouldn't be like this, should it?"
His first foot did not feel anything at all. Delighted, Yun Yang hurried to step on the second step as well …
"Argh!"
Yun Yang let out a heart-wrenching howl as he collapsed like a pile of mud for the second time.
The process was the same as before, but perhaps because his physical body was much stronger than before, the pain from the disintegration of his physical body had increased tremendously this time …
…
With his first experience, Yun Yang did the same as before, struggling to survive and reconstructing himself. When he was done with the second step, Yun Yang's flesh and blood were glowing a bright silver. When he was done with the third step, Yun Yang's flesh, meridians, and bones had turned a pale gold. At the fourth step, his flesh and bones were gold while his internal organs were pale gold. At the fifth step, his flesh and bones were jade while his internal organs were pure gold. At the sixth step, his flesh and bones were precious jade while his internal organs were white jade. When he reached the seventh step, he was transparent from the inside out. At the eighth step, the inside and outside of his body were one, clear and transparent without any impurities.
When he reached the final ninth step, all the strange colors that were different from his physical body had faded away, returning to the original color of his body, which was called the human color.
It looked like he had returned to his original appearance, but Yun Yang truly felt that he was completely different from the inside out!
…
Yun Yang had finally ascended to the seventh step, the highest level of the Supreme Heaven Pavilion that had only been passed down in legends for a long time. No one had actually stepped into it!
However, he had already lost track of time; he had no idea how long he had been in here.
It was just that the time he took to reconstruct his body grew longer and longer until he did not notice the passage of time at all.
He ascended in high spirits, confident that even if there were still obstacles in front of him, he would be able to deal with them!
After ascending to the seventh level, he didn't encounter any more trials. Instead, the entire seventh level was filled with strange phenomena. Golden lotuses were descending from the heavens, one after another, falling from the heavens …
Yun Yang was bathed in the glow.
His soul, deific consciousness, flesh and blood, meridians, and bones …
They were all strengthened again and again by the golden lotus light that filled the sky.
The golden lotuses continued to fall, the glow getting brighter and thicker.
Yun Yang was bathed in it, feeling indescribably comfortable. At the same time, he could feel his cultivation base growing rapidly, like an ordinary person who was riding on the clouds.
"When I first entered the Supreme Heaven Pavilion, my cultivation base was only at the beginner level of a saint. Now, I've at least advanced to the pinnacle of a saint's intermediate level, and I'm still growing stronger … Doesn't this mean that my cultivation base has advanced by two levels this time? There's also the evolution of my deific consciousness, the strengthening of my flesh and blood, and the strengthening of my bones and internal organs to the Golden Body level and above … In this case, my ability has increased by at least ten times. "
"However, if I were to choose again … I might not choose to enter the Supreme Heaven Pavilion!"
It was not that Yun Yang's Dao heart was unstable, but the final test of the nine flights of stairs was too perilous. Even with his endurance and determination, he could not help but shudder. Lingering fear was not even enough to describe a fraction of it.
Even if the so-called purgatory test was made real, it could only be as terrifying as this!
Recalling the last part of the journey, Yun Yang knew that there would be a test on the first step, so he was more or less prepared. Although the process was excruciatingly painful, even shrouded in the shadow of death, Yun Yang did not lose his confidence. He did not give up, working hard to reconstruct his physical body and get through the dangerous stage.
When it came to the second step, Yun Yang had misjudged the situation, thinking that there would be no more obstacles. He did not expect the difficulty to multiply, almost causing Yun Yang to lose his confidence. On the other hand, from the third step onwards, the agony increased by more than double with each step … Yun Yang was slowly getting used to it. He had to walk through this test and finish it. Otherwise, he would be immersed in this trial for the rest of his life. It was this understanding that urged Yun Yang to complete the entire journey …
In spite of that, his physical body disintegrated again and again. Even if he said that he had gotten used to it, it did not really matter. Although he had experienced injuries all over his body before, none of them had been as extreme as the one in the trial.
Moreover, from the second step onwards, the strengthening did not matter at all. Those who had to endure the torment were all new flesh!
The new flesh that had just grown was crushed into puddles …
What kind of feeling was that? It had to be tormented over and over again.
Yun Yang could not help but admire himself when he thought about it. He could not help prostrating himself!
You're amazing, Young Master Yun!
I think that all the heroes in this world should admire you! All the beauties in this world should fall in love with you!
You're truly worthy of it!
Just because of this, it's enough!
Young Master Yun, you should be the dream lover of all the women in the Bound of Universe, the number one idol of all men! How did you get through it?
I'm completely convinced by you …
However, Yun Yang did not have the confidence nor the courage to come back to Supreme Heaven Pavilion again. A large part of the reason he had to endure it the first time was due to the fearlessness of the ignorant and the fact that he was caught between a rock and a hard place. If he did not persevere, he might perish forever. He had no choice but to do it again … He would be crushed by his own psychological construction before he even started.
Yun Yang could not help but sigh with lingering fear.
The Golden Lotus Baptism was still going on, falling piece by piece. Yun Yang did not have enough time to absorb the baptism into his body, but he did not waste it either. The excess was absorbed by the greedy Emmie into his deific consciousness space. His deific consciousness space was also filled with Golden Lotuses …
The Golden Lotuses in the sky were still falling, as if there was no end to them!
Yun Yang's cultivation base improved bit by bit, advancing bravely and vigorously.
…
Dongfang Haoran and the others had only waited outside for a few days before their disciples flew out like cannonballs. What comforted the three rulers was that three of them had already obtained the qualification to inherit the Celestial Palace. The most basic task had been completed successfully, so the trip was not in vain.
After a while, the Eagle King came out as well. He had lasted a little longer than Huan Wenyuan and the others, so naturally, he came out a little later.
However, Yun Yang had not come out yet. The three of them discussed and decided to continue waiting. After all, they were very interested in the future of Supreme Heaven Pavilion.
After waiting for a day, King Yama left the Supreme Heavenly Pavilion in a gray fog. Ximen Fengfu and the others wanted to stop this guy and ask him about his origins. However, after King Yama left the Supreme Heavenly Pavilion, he plunged into the ground and disappeared just like that …
He did not care about them at all.
The three rulers were caught off guard and could do nothing about it.
Yun Yang was still inside.
"Let's wait for Yun Yang to come out and leave together. It looks like this child has gained a lot in Supreme Heaven Pavilion!"
However, another ten days had passed and Yun Yang still had not come out.
"Eagle King, go back with Lanting and the others and explain the situation here. We will continue to wait here."
More than a month had passed.
"Why isn't he out yet?"
Two months had passed.
"Are we still waiting? What has Yun Yang gone through? Why hasn't he come out after going in? "
As the three of them were discussing, there was a sudden swoosh in the sky. Supreme Heaven Pavilion had disappeared.
All that was left was a piece of paper fluttering down from the sky.
"Supreme Heaven Pavilion will never come out again."
Reading the contents of the paper, the three rulers felt a sense of loss.
Supreme Heaven Pavilion that stood proudly at the pinnacle of the Bound of Universe, the most mysterious and towering for countless years, had actually disappeared.
Where had Yun Yang gone then?
"The three heavenly palaces have been using this to select their heirs for hundreds of thousands of years, but now it's gone … What's more infuriating is that once Yun Yang went in, Supreme Heaven Pavilion disappeared just like that. Who would believe that there's no connection between the two?" Ximen Fafu frowned.
"Is there even a need to ask?" Beigong Liuli rolled her eyes. "I'm already suspecting that the three heavenly palaces have been wasting our efforts all these years. We've been putting on a show for the blind, and we've been delusional. Supreme Heaven Pavilion has actually been waiting for one person from the beginning, and this person is Yun Yang!"
"As for you … it doesn't matter if you believe it or not! Silly bird! "Beigong Liuli spat on Ximen Fafu's face.
Ximen Fafu was not angered, but he sighed dejectedly.
"I think so too … All these years, the Supreme Heaven Pavilion has been toying with us …"
Dongfang Haoran was stunned for a moment before he said, "It might not be Yun Yang. It's just that none of the successors of the three heavenly palaces has been able to obtain the true heritage of the Supreme Heaven Pavilion. Now that the Supreme Heaven Pavilion is no more, I believe Yun Yang has a place to go. We don't have to wait any longer, let's go back. We still have to train the younger generation and plan how the palace will be passed on in the future. Once everything is settled, we can officially hand over … Then, the three of us can rest for a while."
Ximen Fanfu chuckled. "Rest?! I'm afraid we'll have to go to the Blood Soul Mountain and rest while fighting with the Demon Clan. "
The three of them laughed and left together.
"I have no confidence in this battle."
"I'm not sure either."
"But we only have one life, and our mission has been completed."
"We've protected the heavenly palace well, and our heritage hasn't been broken in our hands. The Demon Clan hasn't been able to take a step past the Blood Soul Mountain. As for our fellow humans, we've been recuperating, and our population is ten times more than when we first became palace masters. At least in terms of human reproduction, we've done well."
"Now that I think about it, the only thing we haven't done well is probably not teaching our sons well. We've let down our brothers who died in the battle."
"But we've given birth to a few more. If there's a chance, we must train them well …"
"It's all thanks to Yun Yang that we have these children."
"Do you f * cking know how to talk? Shut up if you don't! I should say … it's all thanks to Yun Yang's air of vitality. "
"It's easy to misunderstand this. Just say … it's all thanks to Yun Yang's help …"
"Get lost!"
The three of them bickered as they walked away, relaxed.
…
A whole year had passed. In this year, the Bound of Universe had changed drastically, even more than the changes of the past ten thousand years.
The Palace of Nine Supremes rose mightily. Wherever it passed, it was invincible.
The Demiurge-Flawed Ten stepped into the martial world once more. Each of them had a brand new title, and they were renowned in the Bound of Universe. No one dared to mention their past names anymore … Well, it was mainly because no one dared to!
First, there was the incident of Phoenix Cry Sect's eldest disciple, Qi Lie's humiliation and the massacre of the Palace of Nine Supremes' higher-ups. As for the latter, almost all the famous rankings in the martial world had been occupied by the Palace of Nine Supremes' disciples. They could not wait to avoid it, so they would not overestimate themselves and seek death.
The Heaven Ranking, Earth Ranking, Man Ranking, and Rookie Ranking had basically become the stage for the Palace of Nine Supremes' disciples.
Disciples from other sects would never be able to squeeze into the top ten or twenty rankings anyway.
If it was the top fifty, perhaps three to five of them might be lucky enough to make it.
The Palace of Nine Supremes' achievement had confirmed that it had become a supreme-class sect that had never appeared in the Bound of Universe since ancient times!
Seven months ago, the Palace of Nine Supremes' four disciples had challenged the heirs of the three heavenly palaces and Divine Punishment Holy Land and won, shocking the world with their achievements!
Five months ago, the Palace of Nine Supremes' high priest, Dong Qitian, had led three Half-Saints and twenty-four Lord Saints to challenge the same level experts from the three heavenly palaces.
In the end, the record of twenty-five battles and seventeen victories had shaken the Bound of Universe once more!
From that day onwards, the Palace of Nine Supremes had become the Bound of Universe's undisputed number one sect, although it was still below the three heavenly palaces and Divine Punishment Holy Land in name.
No one dared disobey its command in the martial world!
The Palace of Nine Supremes' disciples had grown to a hundred thousand!
This number was only after the official disciples had reached a hundred thousand, when the Palace of Nine Supremes officially announced that it would close its doors and no longer recruit disciples. In the future, it would open its doors once every sixty years to recruit disciples. Otherwise, the number of disciples would continue to increase.
Everyone was surprised and puzzled by this decision.
"The sect leader has said that the doors will be closed when the number of disciples reaches a hundred thousand."
"Sect Leader Yun has said that the martial world cannot be dominated by one sect. A hundred sects contending for supremacy is the way to long-term peace."
As for the Palace of Nine Supremes, it had already possessed the same or even stronger strength as the three heavenly palaces, but it had not been upgraded.
"The sect leader is not here. Everything will be handled when he returns."
After winning the challenge against the three heavenly palaces' Lord Saints, the Palace of Nine Supremes would send twenty thousand experts to guard the Bloodsoul Mountain every two months, rotating every two months.
One of the reasons for this was that the heads of the demon experts were a major source of contribution points for the Palace of Nine Supremes.
It was also because of this that the Palace of Nine Supremes' method of nurturing disciples was very different from before. It was no longer the nanny and protection of the disciples like before, but the disciples were free to go on their own.
If the disciple died, the sect would avenge him or her, but they would definitely be the nanny and escort him or her. This was so that the disciples could receive the most extreme training in actual combat. Life and death depended on themselves.
This proposal had caused great controversy within the Palace of Nine Supremes, and it had only been approved after a long time.
It had to be said that the cultivation base of the Palace of Nine Supremes' disciples was secondary after that. Their actual combat strength had suddenly become terrifying.
Even if their own cultivation base and strength were equal, or even slightly superior, when they encountered the Palace of Nine Supremes' disciples, the disciples of the Palace of Nine Supremes would mostly win.
When ten months had passed, the East Celestial Palace's lord, Dongfang Haoran, sighed from the bottom of his heart, "As long as the Bloodsoul Mountain is not lost, the Bound of Universe will enter the era of the Palace of Nine Supremes. This deadline will be far, far away. "
He then added, "Unless the Palace of Nine Supremes falls into internal strife and falls apart many years later, no one and no force can shake it!"
When this sentence spread throughout the martial world, it was ordered by the Palace of Nine Supremes' leader's wife, Ji Lingxi, to be engraved on a stone tablet that was a thousand feet tall. She then combined the power of all the Saints and Saints in the Palace of Nine Supremes to strengthen the stone tablet permanently and placed it at the most prominent mountain gate of the Palace of Nine Supremes to serve as a warning to future generations.
Throughout the year, the sky above the Palace of Nine Supremes shone brightly.
The wife of the Palace of Nine Supremes' leader, Ji Lingxi, had broken through to the Saint Level after Yun Yang. Rainbows fell from the sky and golden lotuses bloomed from the ground.
A few days later, Shangguan Lingxiu, the wife of the Hall of Nine Supremes' leader, broke through to the Saint level as well. A strange phenomenon appeared in the sky.
Half a month later, the chief high priest of the Nine Supremes Temple, Dong Qitian, broke through to the Saint level.
In another twenty days, Shi Wuchen, the Temple of Nine Supremes' Vice Supreme, was the first to break through to the Saint Realm, followed by Luo Dajiang and Tie Qingcang.
At this point, the Palace of Nine Supremes had a total of six Saints!
Such strength was enough to suffocate the entire Xuanhuang World.
By the end of the year, the Temple of Nine Supremes had more than two hundred Lords and at most fifteen Half-Saints.
Among them, Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou had broken through to Sage-to-be.
This kind of overall strength was already comparable to the combined strength of the Three Great Heavenly Palaces. Even if they were to face the combined strength of the Three Great Heavenly Palaces head-on, they might not necessarily lose!
Just as Dongfang Haoran had said, the era of the Nine Supremes had officially arrived.
Two months after the New Year's Day, the entire Xuanhuang World, including the various levels of the planes, suddenly received a piece of news in their dreams.
A message from the dream.
From that day onwards, the underworld would be reopened, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation would be reopened!
For a time, the legend of the Six Paths of Reincarnation spread like wildfire. Everyone had the same dream. This was already a shocking miracle, but what was even more shocking was that the person who spread the news was from the Palace of Nine Supremes.
On the same day, thunder rumbled in the sky.
Countless rainbows filled the world, crisscrossing and crisscrossing, including the Realm of Demons. Rainbows hung in the sky as spiritual Qi of heaven and earth poured down.
Everyone raised their heads and stared at this strange phenomenon. In the sky, a magnificent and majestic palace was hidden in the clouds, faintly discernible, slowly ascending. From being clearly visible, to being blurry, to being even higher, and finally disappearing.
In the end, a dazzling rainbow fell from the sky into the Palace of Nine Supremes and disappeared.
Another wave of extreme Yin Qi rose from the ground and turned into a Nether Dragon. Shaking its head and tail, it also rushed into the Palace of Nine Supremes and disappeared.
Before the Palace of Nine Supremes, there was an additional White Fog Pool, and behind the mountain, there was an additional Yin Yang River.
Each of them had their own mysteries and mysteries.
At the same time, the Demon Race seemed to be aware of the situation in the Bound of Universe and began to intensify their attacks.
They could accept that the two sides were evenly matched, but they would not allow the Bound of Universe to be stronger than the Demon Race no matter what.
Now, new faces kept appearing at the entrance of the Blood Soul Mountain, which made the Demon Race realize that the Bound of Universe was moving closer to the bottom line!
…
This chapter was six thousand and nine hundred … Many things were starting to be simplified. Thinking of the two pitfalls, he was a little lost. Let me think of how to make up for it.
