Boom!
After a thousand feet, the wind and clouds above the peak changed color, and thunder could be faintly heard.
"Tremble!"
Sensing that the evil physique couldn't bear the pressure, Xie Tian used the tremble word with all his strength and was able to disperse a small portion of the pressure.
Just at this moment, the evil physique seemed to be enraged by the pressure. Like a dragon, it suddenly erupted with extraordinary potential. Xie Tian's body instantly turned into an existence akin to a giant bell.
"The evil physique has advanced again!"
This unexpected surprise made Xie Tian incomparably excited, but he didn't waste any time and continued to climb the peak.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
With every step, the pressure of the minor peak would bombard Xie Tian's body once, and the bell would ring once.
After thirty-six consecutive echoes, Xie Tian stopped at twenty-eight thousand feet. In a daze, he had entered a land of slaughter.
In this land of slaughter, there were no people, only fists.
One fist.
"Heaven's Cry!"
The fist came from the horizon, passing in front of Xie Tian and landing at the end of the horizon.
Xie Tian closed his eyes. He immediately understood that this fist wasn't for looking.
It was for listening.
Because this fist was innocently crying!
Thirty-six rings had only reached the foot of the minor peak. No one should have noticed it, but Huang Hua, who had just parted ways with Xu Shaoxiang, happened to be passing by.
So when he heard the bell, he looked at the minor peak in confusion.
"Strange, why is there a bell on the minor peak?"
Huang Hua was puzzled, but he was sure that this had never happened in the Body Sect before. Otherwise, the sect would definitely have a detailed record of it.
"Let's go take a look!"
After looking around vigilantly, Huang Hua excitedly stepped onto the peak. This strange bell might be a fortuitous opportunity.
At this moment, Xie Tian opened his eyes, which were filled with shock.
Then he touched his earlobe and saw that it was covered in blood.
"Heaven Breaking Fist. What kind of fist art is this?"
There were countless fist arts named Heaven Breaking in the world. Just the You family's Body Refining Pagoda alone had at least eighteen, but this fist was truly heaven breaking.
And because of this, Heaven cries.
"Unfortunately, I can only comprehend a strand of the profundities of this fist. Even this strand of hair is not something I can use with my current strength."
Xie Tian furrowed his brows in deep thought. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he recalled the strange beast in the Decimating Abyss.
"Heaven's Cry Pierces the Heavens, Beast Claw Pierces the Sky. These two things seem to be somewhat similar."
Thinking up to this point, Xie Tian's mind was greatly moved. However, he took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to comprehend immediately. He looked towards the summit of Little Ascension Peak.
"There's definitely more to the Minor Ascent Peak than just a heaven-defying punch. There might even be a supreme technique to continue ascending."
Forcefully engraving the Heaven Weep Fist into his mind, Xie Tian took another step forward. At the same time, the bell rang once more.
"Thirty-six chimes again!"
Huang Hua, who was standing ten thousand feet above the Little Ascension Peak, had a slightly flushed face. A small portion of this flush was due to exhaustion, but the other half was due to excitement.
"Even now, no one has come. That means only I can hear this bell. This is a great opportunity that belongs to me alone."
At this moment, Xie Tian stopped once more. There was a single tear in his eyes as he looked up at the sky.
That tear fell from the sky.
It was the tear of heaven.
"Heaven Weep!"
Xie Tian's body faintly trembled. After an incense stick's worth of time, he took a deep breath and his eyes broke free from the shock.
"This fist is even more terrifying than Heaven Weep. I had to use all my strength to memorize it!"
Closing his eyes to comprehend for a moment, Xie Tian was both excited and disappointed. Although obtaining a supreme fist art was a great opportunity, it wasn't of much use to him now.
"According to my estimates, if I break through to the Nirvana realm, I can use ten percent of Heaven Weep's power. But even if I reach the peak of the Nirvana realm, I might not be able to use it."
Xie Tian let out a breath of turbid air. His eyes were firm as he took another step forward.
"One day!"
Pfft!
Huang Hua, who had been rushing to the peak, finally vomited blood. But his urgency didn't lessen because of that. On the contrary, it grew stronger as the bell rang for the third time.
"No, I have to go up even if I have to risk my life!"
Standing at the edge of the peak, Xie Tian first looked up at the sky and found it was still far away. Only then did he lower his head to examine the peak.
There was nothing special about the peak. There was only an ordinary mountain scenery and a small path that had been abandoned for who knew how many years.
"Three thousand feet of Minor Ascension, only two fist arts, no cultivation technique."
Sighing, Xie Tian took a step forward. Just as his foot touched the ground, something happened.
The banquet Zhong Huai had set up for You Xiao Chan wasn't very lively.
Many of the heritage disciples had come because of Zhong Huai, not because of his identity, but because of his Immortal Godly Physique.
Seeing You Xiao Chan's melancholy, Zhong Huai was pleased inside. But then he solemnly said something that made everyone's expressions change.
"The Divine Emperor has ordered us to evacuate the twelve cities along the Heaven Spreading Straits. Rakshasa is coming from the sea and will soon arrive at our Yue Prefecture!"
"That damned Divine Emperor! The grand Central Prefecture's Prefecture Lord actually did such a shameless thing!"
"Coming from the sea? Won't Rakshasa come from the southern region of Yue Prefecture?!"
"The southern region is the territory of one of the four great families, the Zhu family. This …"
Everyone looked at You Xiao Chan. The Zhu family and the You family's relationship could be said to be irreconcilable for the past thousand years.
You Xiao Chan frowned, but she didn't show the slightest bit of schadenfreude. She solemnly said, "If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. Rakshasa is going to destroy the world. Not to mention the other prefectures, just our Yue Prefecture alone must unite to resist Rakshasa."
"Heh, nice words." Someone sneered, not believing You Xiao Chan's words at all.
You Xiao Chan didn't get angry. She stood up and bowed. "This is an important matter. I need to make some arrangements. When I have time in the future, Xiao Chan will definitely pay a visit to senior brothers one by one."
Everyone's expressions were cold, and they didn't return the greeting. You Xiao Chan's heart grew even colder. She knew that the disaster from a thousand years ago still made the Body Sect hold a grudge against the You family.
Sighing, You Xiao Chan left the platform and walked out of the hall. Just at this moment, a strange change occurred!
Rumble!
You Xiao Chan looked at the sky outside in shock, only to see a beam of golden light exploding from a certain part of the mountain peak.
"What, what is this?!"
Xu Shaoxiang's expression changed, and he rushed outside. "The sign of reaching the peak of the Minor Ascension Peak!"
Reaching the peak of the Minor Ascension Peak in the Body Sect would cause a phenomenon of golden light shooting into the sky. This was something everyone in the Body Sect knew.
"Minor Ascension Peak!"
You Xiao Chan's face instantly turned red. Although she didn't know about the phenomenon, she knew that ever since the Minor Ascension Peak was created, only two people had successfully reached the Nirvana realm.
One was her ancestor, You Zhuo!
The other was her unforgettable enemy, Wu Shang!
Pfft!
You Xiao Chan coughed up a mouthful of dark red blood, but no one paid attention to her current state. That was because everyone noticed that Xu Shaoxiang's expression was as ugly as if his father had died.
"Junior apprentice-brother Xu, you, what's wrong?!"
Xu Shaoxiang's teeth clattered against each other. After a long time, he finally cursed out 'Huang Hua' and then madly ran towards the Minor Ascension Peak.
"It's Huang! Senior apprentice-brother Huang Hua has reached the peak!"
"Let's go!"
Xie Tian withdrew his gaze from the sky, feeling even more regretful.
He knew that this golden light was just a phenomenon. It wasn't the killing ground that contained the third fist technique, nor was it the cultivation technique that he dreamed of.
"Is my path so difficult to continue?!"
With the last trace of hope he had for the Minor Ascension Peak, he stepped onto the narrow path and entered the world behind the Minor Ascension Peak that had been sealed for who knew how many years.
