The Cloud Transforming Peak was one of the many peaks in White Cloud Mountain. The Cloud Transforming Hall stood on top of the Cloud Transforming Peak. Usually, few people would visit this place, but now, there were quite a few people gathered in the Cloud Transforming Hall.
There were a total of three people, all of whom were on this year's Cloud Ranking. They were all waiting.
Waiting for what?
Waiting for the challengers to leave.
At that moment, the Cloud Transforming Stele suddenly emitted a ray of light. The light formed a halo that quickly spread out and swept in all directions.
The three people and the Elder who were waiting were immediately attracted. They all turned their heads to look, and immediately, their faces were filled with shock.
The rankings on the Cloud Transforming Stele suddenly changed. All the names dropped a level, and a brand new name and record appeared on the first place in the first row.
Chen Zong!
The twentieth wave!
Moreover, the twentieth wave was emitting a seven-coloured luster.
"Chen Zong!" The three people suddenly exclaimed.
They knew Chen Zong very well. Wasn't he the champion of this year's Outer Sect Grand Competition and the champion of this year's Sky Ranking? His formidable strength was still fresh in their minds after a period of time, leaving an incomparably deep impression on them.
The twentieth wave!
Chen Zong actually made it to the twentieth wave and broke the highest record in the history of White Cloud Mountain. He was ranked first, creating an even higher record.
The Elder who guarded the Cloud Transforming Hall opened his mouth wide in shock.
Perhaps some disciples didn't know what the seven-coloured light meant, but this Elder was completely clear. The seven-coloured light meant that Chen Zong had made it to the twentieth wave. If there was a twenty-first wave in the Cloud Transforming Array, then Chen Zong should have made it to the twenty-first wave.
However, the construction and operation of the Cloud Transforming Array required a huge amount of energy, and the consumption would be many times greater if one went further up. Too much energy would be consumed, and the construction would be even more difficult.
The enemies in the twentieth wave were the limit of the Transcendent Realm. It was the true limit, an unsurpassable limit. Because beyond that, one would no longer be in the Transcendent Realm, but in the Half-saint Realm.
Gu Shuyao made it to the twentieth wave but failed. Not long after she entered the twentieth wave, she was defeated and sent out of the Cloud Transforming Array.
Now, Chen Zong had actually made it to the twentieth wave, which was equivalent to passing the entire Cloud Transforming Array.
One had to know that inside the Transforming Cloud Array, it was forbidden to use strength beyond the Transcendent Realm. For example, the strength of a half-step Saint was restricted.
Without the strength of a Half-Saint, facing a hundred opponents at the peak of the Transcendent Realm would undoubtedly be an unimaginable amount of pressure.
It was already very difficult to win a one-on-one battle, and it was even easier to win a one-on-two battle. It was basically impossible to win a one-on-three battle.
However, Chen Zong had won, defeating and killing a hundred Transcendents who had reached the peak of the Transcendent Realm.
The elder didn't know how Chen Zong defeated him, because he couldn't imagine it at all.
Right now, only Chen Zong himself knew what was going on.
In the nineteenth wave, Chen Zong felt great pressure. He had to use his real strength and combine his Qi Refining Cultivation and Body Refining Cultivation. Otherwise, he would not be able to pass.
The pressure of the twentieth wave was even more unimaginable. Chen Zong was under great pressure and threat every second. If he was careless, he would be hit.
The strength of each enemy was too tyrannical, enough to be compared with the likes of Gao Hongjing.
If it had been Gao Hongjing who entered, he would have been killed in less than ten breaths.
Even the stronger Bai Xiyue wouldn't be able to last more than ten breaths.
Fu Yunxiao would be better off, but Chen Zong was sure that Fu Yunxiao would only be able to last thirty breaths of time. Whether he could kill the enemy or not was still unknown. Perhaps he could, but at most he would only be able to kill one enemy.
If it had been Chen Zong, who had just won first place in the Outer Sect Great Competition, challenging the Transforming Cloud Array, he wouldn't have fared much better. At best, he would only be able to kill one enemy.
However, the Great Refining Cloud Pill had allowed Chen Zong to make a significant breakthrough in his Qi Refining Cultivation. His strength had also increased, and he had taken another step forward.
His strength, tenacity, and Spiritual Sense had all combined together, allowing Chen Zong to constantly wander around the hundred strong enemies, waiting for an opportunity to strike and kill them one by one.
During this time, Chen Zong had also been hit by strong enemies. Fortunately, his physique was strong enough, and he had layers of defense, so he didn't suffer any serious injuries.
Even so, Chen Zong felt like he was about to collapse after killing the hundred strong enemies. Chen Zong really didn't want to experience that feeling a second time. It was too painful, just like the torment of hell.
Even someone as tenacious as Chen Zong felt pain and didn't want to experience it a second time.
Although the process was extremely painful, so painful that Chen Zong did not want to try it a second time, the harvest was also very gratifying. At the very least, the fist-sized condensed aura that was entrenched in his Qi Sea emitted an astonishingly vigorous fluctuation.
The Qi he obtained from the twentieth wave was no less than the sum of the previous nineteen waves.
Chen Zong didn't know how much his cultivation would increase after refining and absorbing the Qi, but he guessed that it would be quite a bit.
After breaking through the twentieth wave of the Transforming Cloud Grand Array, Chen Zong also received a small amount of nourishment, his fatigue quickly disappearing, and his injuries quickly healed, allowing him to leave.
Everyone's eyes fell on Chen Zong, especially the Elder, whose eyes were filled with shock, disbelief, and an indescribable heat. This kind of heat seemed to want to pierce through Chen Zong and see through all of Chen Zong's secrets.
After bidding farewell to the Elder, Chen Zong quickly returned to his Cloud Hall and began to refine the condensed Qi in his Qi Sea, leaving behind the Elder who was still in shock.
…..
Refine, refine, refine!
After entering seclusion, Chen Zong circulated the White Cloud Extreme True Art with all his strength, forgetting about everything else, focusing on refining and absorbing the Qi, constantly enriching his ninth spirit wheel.
Breakthrough!
Chen Zong's Qi became more and more tyrannical.
Ninth Layer Transcendent Realm Late Stage!
After another breakthrough, his Qi swelled once again.
Peak Ninth Layer Transcendent Realm!
Third breakthrough!
Peak Ninth Layer Transcendent Realm!
Chen Zong's Qi became more and more tyrannical.
However, this limit was only the threshold of one's cultivation and could not be considered the true limit, there was still room for improvement.
His spiritual energy became even more vigorous and majestic. As it surged, it rolled up an extremely shocking tsunami, and rumbling sounds filled the air.
When all of the Qi had been refined by Chen Zong, his Qi Refining cultivation finally reached the limit of the Transcendent Realm and could no longer be improved.
[Next, it's time to cultivate the White Cloud High Heavens Art,] Chen Zong thought.
However, the White Cloud High Heavens Art was a Saint Grade Mid-Rank Secret Art, several hundred times more profound than the White Cloud Extreme True Art. If one wanted to cultivate it, they needed to first comprehend its mysteries and essence, which would allow them to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Chen Zong began to meditate, relying on his powerful Soul and perception to comprehend the White Cloud High Heavens Art. As soon as he did, Chen Zong was dumbfounded.
It was too difficult.
Even if a true Saint Realm master wanted to comprehend the White Cloud High Heavens Art, they would need to spend a lot of time and energy. Chen Zong's perception was indeed very high, but that was only relative to the Transcendent Realm.
If compared to the average Saint Realm master, Chen Zong's perception was actually higher than the average Saint Realm master, comparable to the geniuses of the Saint Realm.
Meditating, meditating, meditating, Chen Zong gradually understood the mysteries of the first layer of the White Cloud High Heavens Art.
Five days. Chen Zong spent a total of five days to comprehend the mysteries of the first layer of the White Cloud High Heavens Art. The second layer's mysteries would only be more mysterious and difficult to comprehend.
Seven days. Second layer.
Nine Heavens. Third layer.
Eleven days. Fourth layer.
Just like that, a little more than a month passed. Half a month had passed since the half-year deadline was set, leaving only four and a half months.
Four and a half months sounded long, but in fact, it was very short.
"Just one more layer and I'll start cultivating," Chen Zong secretly said.
It took him thirteen days to comprehend the fifth layer.
At this speed, it would take him fifteen days to comprehend the sixth layer. The further he went, the more time it would take. There was not enough time, so he could only put it aside for the time being.
Chen Zong also felt that the first five layers of the White Cloud High Heavens Art were enough for him to cultivate now.
After all, it would take a lot of time to cultivate a new Secret Art. It would also take a lot of time to cultivate to the next layer.
What's more, he could not only cultivate the White Cloud High Heavens Art, but also other aspects.
For example, he could comprehend the Heart Sword Sutra, improve his Heart Sword Force, White Cloud Force, Flame Force, and so on.
Four months was a little short. Chen Zong could only try his best to improve himself. This was because the opportunity to become a Saint was not in his hands directly. He had to fight for it himself. If he was just a little bit weaker and missed the opportunity, wouldn't that be a pity?
Not only Chen Zong, but the other top ten masters on the Cloud List were also doing their best to improve themselves, regardless of the cost.
The White Cloud High Heavens Art was a Medium Sacred Level cultivation method. It was hundreds of times more difficult to cultivate than the White Cloud Ultimate Skill.
Even if Chen Zong fully comprehended the profound mysteries of the first level, he similarly would not be able to quickly master it.
Fu Yunxiao and the others had chosen the Sacred Level cultivation method in the last session. Five years later, they had only cultivated to the fourth layer. Deducting the time when they did not cultivate, it was at least three years.
It was really slow to cultivate to the fourth layer in three years.
Of course, in Chen Zong's opinion, it was slow, but in the eyes of others, it was not slow at all.
Traces of power were running in his body. The White Cloud High Heavens Art's circulation route was really too complicated. If one did not have enough understanding and mastery of himself, it would be impossible to cultivate it.
Fortunately, Chen Zong's Liquefied Soul was strong, and his soul sense was also very strong. It was completely superior to that of a Half-Saint, so it was easier for him to control himself.
The circulation route was more than a hundred times more complicated than the White Cloud Ultimate Skill. It took Chen Zong ten days to overcome it. Overcoming it only meant that Chen Zong had just begun to cultivate the first layer.
Twenty days!
It took Chen Zong 20 days to cultivate the first layer of the White Cloud High Heavens Art.
Before reaching the Half-Saint Realm, the power cultivated by the White Cloud High Heavens Art was like a secret method. However, Chen Zong tried it. The first layer was still very weak, not as good as his current spiritual power.
Then, he began to cultivate the second layer.
This time, it took him a month to cultivate the second layer. The power released when he activated it was almost the same as his current spiritual power.
It seemed that he had to cultivate it to the third layer at least, and the power after activation could surpass his current spiritual power.
