Clarity returned to Yun Yang's mind as realization dawned upon him. It turned out that Dong Qitian's previous actions were mainly to help him take a huge leap forward!
Although he had rejected Dong Qitian's condition to help him ascend a level, the man had still resolutely carried out his own idea. He had even used such an extreme method to turn his own domineering power into a massive pressure, causing Yun Yang to develop the most intuitive sense of danger and survival instinct in the blink of an eye. In the end, he had broken through and reached a whole new realm.
This intention was truly well-intentioned, but it was also extremely dangerous!
Yun Yang was already at the pinnacle of Honor; what he needed to break through was nothing more than an opportunity, or rather, a trigger.
Dong Qitian was well aware of this as well. Otherwise, he would not have proposed such a condition.
However, although the trigger sounded easy, it was as difficult as ascending to heaven when it was actually carried out. How many people lacked this trigger and were stuck at this juncture for the rest of their lives, unable to reach a higher realm and experience the so-called feeling of breaking through the barrier between immortal and mortal?
Advancing from Honor level Four to Saint in mystical Qi cultivation had always been a crucial hurdle!
It was just like the four words – the barrier between immortal and mortal!
Once you crossed it, you would be an immortal!
If you could not, you would still be a mortal, unable to achieve greatness!
Dong Qitian forcefully exerted pressure with his towering cultivation base, pushing out all of Yun Yang's potential to rebound.
Then, he withdrew it all at once.
He allowed Yun Yang to break through on his own!
Although many people knew about such a method, there were not many in this world who could actually implement it effectively.
Yun Yang could not care less about thanking Dong Qitian now. He closed his eyes and focused on circulating his mystical Qi to stabilize his realm, not daring to slack off.
After a long time, layers of purple mist rose from Yun Yang's body, condensing and not dispersing amidst the mountain breeze. It was a marvelous sight to behold.
Dong Qitian looked at Yun Yang. His eyes that were initially filled with relief were now tinged with surprise!
"Purple mist? How can it be purple mist? Shouldn't it be white mist? What's going on with Yun Yang? "
After another long while, the purple mist finally dissipated.
Yun Yang exhaled a long breath. Although it was soundless, there was a faint sound of a dragon's roar that lingered in the air.
He slowly stood up. "Thank you!"
Yun Yang was no fool. He understood Dong Qitian's actions the moment he broke through!
This technique could not be revealed in advance, and it could only be done once. It was extremely difficult to repeat. Therefore, this word of thanks was unnecessary!
Dong Qitian smiled faintly, his expression bleak as he said, "You're welcome. I just hope that one day … when you also face some … um, great enemies, you won't end up like me. "
"The stronger you are, the more powerful you are."
Dong Qitian walked forward with his hands behind his back, his voice bleak. "The more you can protect … the things you want to protect …"
"That's right." Yun Yang understood what Dong Qitian was trying to say. In this martial world, strength was everything!
No matter how righteous you were, how upright you were, how kind you were, how open and aboveboard you were … right and wrong depended on strength. Justice was only limited to the strong and the weak.
"Power!"
Dong Qitian sighed sadly. "Ability …"
If he had the strength, why would he have been imprisoned in this mountain for 4,100 years?
"Elder Dong, what level of ability did you have before you were imprisoned?" Yun Yang asked curiously.
Dong Qitian smiled faintly and said, "I've already fallen to such a state. What's the point of talking about ability …"
He brushed the topic aside with a single sentence.
Both of them continued their journey towards the Residence of Nine Supremes as they conversed. Along the way, they met many people from Cangwu Union, but both of them merely brushed past each other.
Yun Yang knew the inside story, but he did not want to stir up trouble, remaining calm and composed. Dong Qitian, on the other hand, was even more fearless, not taking the few people he met to heart.
Other than that, they also met many people who were searching for the Raiders of All But God, but those who dared not look for trouble were basically slapped away by Dong Qitian.
Along the way, Yun Yang did not see Dong Qitian make a second move.
It was always …
A slap!
Another slap!
A single slap sent the victim flying into the air.
Along the way, no matter what the opponent's cultivation base was, a single slap was all it took. It was clean and swift, with no repercussions.
Yun Yang estimated that the victim would be at least a dozen miles away after the slap, and Dong Qitian would not be responsible for their life or death. If they died, it was the victim's misfortune; if they were lucky enough to survive, they would naturally understand the gap between them. How would they dare act rashly?
Such a unique fighting style was another eye-opener for Yun Yang.
"What an expert, far beyond what we can imagine!"
The Residence of Nine Supremes was in sight.
Dozens of miles away, Dong Qitian was full of praises as he looked at the imposing base of the Residence of Nine Supremes.
"Not bad, not bad! It seems like your sect is flourishing. Not to mention anything else, just this mountain-protecting array is something this old man has never seen before. It contains a profound theory, a strict law, and a picturesque disorder. The spiritual energy is so rich that it's beyond the imagination of ordinary people. For a sect that has yet to obtain the Celestial Luck Banner, it's truly of top-notch quality. It's rare and precious. "
"Also, the terrain here is good. It's easy to defend and difficult to attack. The peaks stand together, echoing the mountain guarding formation from afar, complementing each other and increasing its power. It's really not bad."
"It looks like your sect is really full of talents."
"Hidden dragons and crouching tigers!"
"You've been whining about being poor to me, saying that there are only a few weaklings in the entire sect. Are you being humble, or do you not want to expose your background?"
The more Dong Qitian observed carefully, the more he felt that this was not an ordinary place.
"Although it's a newly founded sect, its providence is solid, and it's vaguely showing signs of soaring into the sky!"
"Since the Residence of Nine Supremes has such a name, it must be a sect founded by a total of nine people, right?"
Dong Qitian was amazed. "You're the leader of the Residence of Nine Supremes? Then tell me, who was the one who helped you build this property? It's really not bad. I've read it, and I'm ashamed that I can't do it if I were in your shoes. "
Yun Yang chuckled dryly. "It's just a small foundation, not worth mentioning."
Dong Qitian shook his head vigorously. "This is just a small foundation? Even the Sacred Heart Palace might not be able to compare to this place in terms of its start-up atmosphere … "
"You flatter me, you flatter me. It's passable, hehehe …" Yun Yang laughed.
Dong Qitian stopped praising when he heard this fellow's boastful tone and glanced at him in disdain. "Tell me what you need me to do first. I'll make it clear that there are only ten tasks. Once all ten tasks are completed, you and I will be strangers."
Yun Yang said, "There are still ten people to kill, and resources to reach level three of Royal Saint …"
…
'I've seen a lot of people asking why Yun Yang was able to kill people back then in the book review and comments section. Let me explain this.
