Zhou Yang …
For a moment, everyone frowned.
"In that case, this is Zhou Yang's doing. Is this kid trying to destroy the foundation of our Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect?" Yu Bugui said angrily.
"Peak Lord Yu, that's too serious. If it were you, would you dare to openly destroy the foundation of our Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect in this cultivation room? Do you think Zhou Yang is an idiot, or do you think everyone in the Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect is an idiot? "Peak Lord Yan sneered.
"Peak Lord Yan, what do you mean? The truth is right in front of us. Do you still think this is caused by Zhou Yang's cultivation?" Yu Guihai said disdainfully.
"I think it's possible. Zhou Yang's talent is astonishing. To be able to reach his current realm in a short year without awakening an Astral Soul, he must have had a fortuitous encounter. It's not impossible for this to happen." Yin Xuan smiled.
Qing Yun nodded. "Junior brothers, let's not argue for now. If Zhou Yang is really just cultivating, then we'll know soon enough."
However, after Qing Yun spoke, the crowd fell silent and waited quietly outside.
After half an hour, there was a rumble in the stone room. A powerful aura spread out from the stone room. Yin Xuan and Peak Lord Yan both revealed looks of joy.
"The ninth level of the Mercury realm. It seems he is indeed cultivating. However, this absorption speed is really rare." Qing Yun just smiled and didn't ask any more questions. He just looked at the crowd with a meaningful look before turning around and walking out.
Yu Guihai's expression was gloomy. He could hear the warning in Qing Yun's tone. Furthermore, he had already incurred the wrath of everyone because of the Will Pill. Thinking of this, he did not waste any more time. He only snorted coldly and left.
Soon, only Yin Xuan, Peak Lord Yan, and the somewhat shocked Elder Bai were left outside the cultivation room.
Rumble …
At this moment, the door to the cultivation room suddenly opened. Zhou Yang slowly walked out, his eyes filled with joy.
"Zhou Yang, congratulations on your breakthrough." Yin Xuan smiled.
"You guys …"
Zhou Yang was somewhat confused. He had only been in seclusion for a few days. Why was there such a big commotion?
"Haha … Zhou Yang, you've even alarmed the sect master this time. However, I'm very confused. Why didn't you take this opportunity to break through to the Wood realm?" Peak Lord Yan asked.
"Wood Star Realm …"
Zhou Yang shook his head. It was not that he did not want to break through to the Wood Planet Realm, but it was not something that he could break through just because he wanted to.
The Beast Fire Sutra required him to fuse with the power of a fire-type exotic beast every time he broke through a major realm. Right now, his Blue Blaze True Fire was only at the fifth level, let alone a fire-type exotic beast.
Seeing that Zhou Yang had something difficult to say, the two of them did not ask any further. After exchanging a few words of greeting, they left the Cultivation Tower.
"Zhou Yang, I … I apologize for what I said earlier. So you …" Elder Bai had an awkward expression on his face. A few days ago, he was still unhappy that Zhou Yang had entered the seventh level to cultivate. Now, it was proven that even the spiritual energy in the seventh level could not satisfy Zhou Yang. This made him feel extremely ashamed.
"It's fine. I didn't explain it clearly."
Zhou Yang just smiled. After leaving the Cultivation Tower, he returned to the Purple Courtyard and went into seclusion.
Four days quickly passed, and when the sun rose in the morning, the bell of the Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect rang once more.
The finals of the Grand Competition of the Five Peaks was finally about to begin.
On this day, not only did the disciples of the Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect gather, even Princess Shu Hua of the Mirror Lake Palace brought all the disciples of the Mirror Lake Palace to the Martial Dojo.
Hundreds of wooden platforms were built around the huge Martial Dojo. The stone platform that had been destroyed in the previous battle had also been repaired, and this time, it was even bigger and taller.
At noon, everyone was arranged to watch the battles on the wooden platforms in an orderly manner, leaving the dueling platform in the middle empty. As the bell rang for the third time, Qing Yun arrived with the various peak leaders and elders.
Long Jue and Ye Zhining also arrived at the same time.
At this moment, Ye Zhining and Long Jue walked side by side. Both of them were wearing dragon robes and phoenix skirts. Behind them were Zhou Aotian, Nangong Ying, and the other disciples of the Sword Master, as well as many geniuses.
On the other side, Zhou Yang, Gai Yang, and the rest stood together, quietly waiting for the final battle to begin.
"Let's begin." Long Jue looked at Elder Lian who was not far away.
Elder Lian immediately nodded and walked towards the platform. However, he had only taken a few steps when he suddenly realized that Qing Yun was still there. He quickly turned back to look at Qing Yun.
Qing Yun looked indifferent, but there was a rare sharpness in his eyes. "Go!"
"Yes!"
Elder Lian's forehead was already covered in cold sweat. He had almost ignored the existence of the Sect Leader in front of everyone.
This scene naturally fell into Zhou Yang's eyes. He guessed that no matter how magnanimous Qing Yun was, he would probably be dissatisfied. Moreover, Shu Hua and the old peak master of the Heavy Sword Peak were also present.
Long Jue's actions were obviously intentional. His goal was to show the dignity of the Royal Family to everyone. Elder Lian's reaction was also what he wanted.
However, in Zhou Yang's opinion, this behavior not only showed that the Royal Family and the Tiangang Sword Sect appeared to be united but were actually divided, but it also showed that Long Jue was naive.
Publicly declaring the authority of the Royal Family on such an occasion was undoubtedly challenging the Tiangang Sword Sect, challenging Qing Yun, and Shu Hua …
"The last round of the Five Peaks Competition, the Heavy Sword Peak versus the Moonlight Palace. Disciples from both sides, please enter the arena." Elder Lian's voice woke Zhou Yang from his thoughts.
"Zhou Yang, do your best. There's no need to risk your life," Gai Yang said in a low voice.
Zhou Yang nodded and immediately flew up to the arena.
"Moonlight Peak, who's going to fight in the first round?" Elder Lian looked at the Moonlight Peak and asked.
"You still want to use attrition tactics now?"
As soon as Elder Lian finished speaking, Zhou Yang's mocking voice rang out.
"Zhou Yang, it's not your turn to speak yet." Elder Lian frowned. Zhou Yang completely ignored Elder Lian and looked at Ye Zhining and the rest. "Ye Zhining, why waste time? Come up and fight me."
Ye Zhining's eyes flashed. She looked at Long Jue. After Long Jue nodded, she slowly walked up to the stone platform.
"The two of you …"
"Elder Lian, you can go down now."
Ye Zhining directly interrupted Elder Lian. Although Elder Lian was a little dissatisfied, he still nodded and turned to leave.
"Zhou Yang, I heard you broke through," Ye Zhining said lightly.
"That's right, I broke through." Zhou Yang smiled.
"That's what I wanted. If you were too weak, I wouldn't be interested."
Zhou Yang shook his head and looked at the scorching sun in the sky. After a while, he said, "Ye Zhining, do you remember how you begged me back then?"
Ye Zhining's face immediately darkened after hearing that. She said, "Zhou Yang, if you want to use this method to disturb my state of mind, you'd better save it. I won't be affected by you. Everything in the past was just a test from the heavens for me."
