Asura Peak. The main hall was grand and magnificent. Compared to the original Asura Gate main hall, it was like comparing a thatched hut to a magnificent palace. This was the main hall left behind by the Tian Luo Sect, now owned by the Asura Gate.
Inside the main hall, there were four figures.
Grand Elder Chen Zong.
Asura Gate Patriarch.
Great Elder and Third Elder.
After switching to the Burning Evil Asura Skill and taking the Heavenly Fiend Pellet, as well as entering the Asura Secret Realm for a period of time, the Patriarch and the two Elders' cultivations had advanced by a large margin. Their strength had also soared, brimming with confidence and an extraordinary momentum.
The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the upcoming Zeno Gathering.
The Zeno Gathering was a grand event held once every ten years in Zeno City. It was often used as a way to promote the prestige of a Sect, and at the same time, it was also a way to evaluate each Sect's strength.
For example, if the Zeno Gathering was held this time, the Tian Luo Sect that had lost its four-star battle strength would be reduced to a high-grade force, and the Great Luo Sect would be reduced to a mid-grade force.
However, in the past, the Tian Luo Sect had always been the host of the Zeno Gathering.
Now that such a major change had occurred, the Tian Luo Sect could no longer host the Zeno Gathering, much less the other Sects. However, the current Asura Gate could still host it by force.
The problem was, it was hard to convince the masses.
On the level of peak experts, the current Asura Gate would definitely frighten all the other Sects in Zeno City, but on the level of disciples, the difference was too great.
After all, not long ago, the Asura Gate was in a state of turmoil. Most of the disciples had left, and although the remaining ones were loyal, their talents were relatively average.
Now that the Asura Gate had returned to the Asura Peak, the cultivation environment had improved significantly. With the help of the Great Essence Gathering Array and the Pure Essence Array, and the Asura Secret Realm as a cultivation holy land, as long as the Asura Gate was given enough time, surpassing the other Sects would not be difficult.
Time was the most important thing right now.
In the end, after discussion, they decided not to hold the Zeno Gathering this time.
The Asura Gate did not have the resources to host the Zeno Gathering. If the Tian Luo Sect did not say a word, the other Sects.
Thus, on the day that the Zenith Net Meeting was supposed to be held, there was no movement, as if there was some sort of silent tacit agreement.
Now that he had become the Grand Supreme Elder and the Sect Master had come out of his closed-door training, Chen Zong let go of everything. He no longer cared about the affairs of the sect and focused on improving himself.
After his Qi Refinement Dao reached the Half-step Great Saint Stage, it became extremely difficult for him to make any further progress. On the other hand, his Body Refinement Dao was still at the Saint Rudiment Stage, but he had already reached the limit of the Ninth Level Chaos Heaven Stage.
Now, Chen Zong went into seclusion again to deduce the higher level of the Nanli Quenching Jade Skill.
The Nanli Quenching Jade Art was a Saint Level Extreme Grade Art. If one wanted to deduce it to a higher level, it would be an Extreme Grade Art.
Of course, it was impossible to achieve success in one go. He had to first break the limit and then continuously perfect it to become a peerless artifact.
To a certain extent, there was no limit to how many levels a Saint level cultivation technique could have.
For example, if Chen Zong couldn't achieve the Taichu Sword Energy Technique, then he would stop at the thirty-third level. He could also continue to improve and reach the thirty-fourth or thirty-fifth level, and so on.
However, regardless of whether it was the thirty-third, thirty-fourth, or thirty-fifth level, they were all Extreme Grade Arts.
The Asura clone, Chen Xiu, was cultivating in the Asura Secret Realm's Seventh Ring and was constantly approaching the Eighth Ring.
The main body, Chen Zong, was in seclusion on Bewildering Light Island.
Wisps of dark red appeared on Chen Zong's skin. They were faintly discernible, and there was a faint red light flickering endlessly.
An astonishing temperature was released from the dark red lines, and it spread out in all directions.
Chen Zong was only wearing a pair of shorts, and his upper body was exposed. There were more and more dark red lines, and they became denser and denser. Gradually, it seemed to outline a very complicated flame outline, as if it was about to burn.
Accumulation!
Expansion!
Then, it exploded!
Raging flames suddenly rose from Chen Zong's body and burned fiercely. The flames were dark red, and there were faint traces of golden light spreading, like stars flickering endlessly.
A sharp and resounding sound suddenly rang out, surging in all directions. The flames were extremely hot, and it seemed to condense into the phantom of an ancient divine bird, like a Vermillion Bird and a Phoenix.
The Chaotic Sky Power in his body also changed qualitatively.
The Nanli Quenching Jade Technique broke through the limit again and reached a higher level.
The perfection of a Qi Cultivation Technique and a Body Refining Technique were different.
The Qi Cultivation Technique was improved layer by layer.
The Body Refining Technique was innovating the old to bring forth the new. It was directly created on the basis of the original technique according to one's own actual situation, and it was positioned at a higher level to be cultivated again.
The flames kept burning, as if it wanted to burn everything around into ashes and nothingness.
Gradually, the flames condensed and compressed, turning into a layer of dark red magma-like power. The temperature was restrained, and it did not seem to be so hot. However, the power contained in it was several times more terrifying.
"Now, with this Chaotic Sky Power alone, I can compete with or even defeat a One-Star battle strength." Chen Zong's mouth curved into a smile. He opened his palm, and the dark red lines spread out. Finally, they entangled in his palm and condensed into the phantom of an ancient divine bird.
It was vivid and lifelike, like a sculpture. It gave people a warm feeling and was not dazzling to the eyes. It was hard to imagine how terrifying the power contained in it was.
"Since the Nanli Quenching Jade Technique has reached a higher level, then it's time to break through," Chen Zong said to himself. The power in his palm was withdrawn into his body, and he closed his eyes.
Breakthrough!
It was the Half-step Great Saint level.
The breakthrough of Body Refining was often more difficult than Qi Cultivation.
However, for Chen Zong, it was not that difficult. After all, Chen Zong's accumulation was very strong, and his realm was very high.
Therefore, this breakthrough was a matter of course.
Explosions kept coming out of his body, like a volcano erupting. The magma torrent kept surging. Chen Zong's body was emitting endless heat, and steam was rolling.
Tyrannical!
The tyrannical power kept surging in his body. This power had surpassed the level of the Chaotic Sky Realm and reached a higher level. It was the power of a Half-step Great Saint for Body Refining.
Compared to the power of a Half-step Great Saint for Qi Cultivation, the power of a Half-step Great Saint for Body Refining was often more tyrannical.
As soon as he broke through, Chen Zong immediately took out a lot of sea beast crystals and began to absorb them.
The sea beast crystals were treasures for Body Refining.
Now that his Body Refining cultivation had just broken through, it was time to absorb the power.
As the sea beast crystals were constantly consumed, the power in Chen Zong's body became stronger and stronger. It fed back to his body, and his physique kept improving.
In the past few months, Chen Zong and the Asura doppelgänger worked together to kill fog demons and sea beasts. They obtained a lot of low-grade and mid-grade fog crystal beast crystals. They kept refining them, and their improvement was very significant.
After absorbing and refining all the beast crystals of the sea beasts, Chen Zong felt "full". That was the upper limit of his physique after the breakthrough. Compared to when he had just broken through, he was now twice as strong as before.
After a short rest, Chen Zong began to cultivate the Supreme Lingwu Technique to refine the power of Lingwu.
Refining the power of Lingwu with a half-step Great Saint's Qi Refining and Body Refining power would only be more powerful.
When Chen Zong succeeded in refining, he could feel the powerful Lingwu power condensing in his body. It was very shocking.
Explode!
In an instant, Chen Zong felt the power of the Genesis Sword Origin Technique increasing continuously. It was a kind of qualitative improvement.
He pointed his finger like a sword in the air.
It seemed to be silent, but it also seemed that in an instant, a roar of wind and thunder resounded in the depths of the void.
It was as if the void was directly pierced, leaving a short but very clear vacuum sword mark that slowly dissipated.
"Such power …" Chen Zong narrowed his eyes slightly.
Before this, when he fully unleashed his strength, he could reach the level of an elite five-star. With the Freedom State, he could even fight against an ordinary six-star powerhouse.
But now, when he fully unleashed his strength, he could fight against an elite six-star powerhouse.
In a short time, he had just broken through to the half-step Great Saint level and had the strength to kill an ordinary six-star powerhouse. If this news were to spread, who knew what kind of reaction it would cause and how big of a storm it would cause.
However, Chen Zong was not complacent at all, nor was he complacent.
Only he knew how much effort he had put in to achieve these achievements.
Moreover, after learning about the scene in the void of the universe from Hua Ji, Chen Zong's heart yearned even more.
A mere half-step Great Sage was nothing at all.
Even in the half-step Great Saint level, there were seven, eight, and even nine stars. There were even legendary ten-star invincible existences.
"Now that I've broken through to the Body Refining Realm, it's difficult to make much progress in a short time. It's time to go to the Eternal Battle Fort," Chen Zong thought to himself.
Of course, he could not go there with his real body. He did not have the ability to do so, but he could go there with his consciousness through the Eternal Token of Heaven and Earth.
But before he went, the Shura Sect matters had to be further stabilized before he could rest assured.
Otherwise, he did not know how long this trip would take.
The Shura Sect could be considered to be on the right track now. It was constantly growing stronger, but it was still not enough.
There were only twenty or so disciples.
Whether a Sect was strong or not depended on its disciples. Not only the quality, but also the quantity.
After discussing with the Sect Master and the two Elders, they decided to open the Shura Sect's mountain gate and recruit disciples.
If it was half a year ago, the Shura Sect's so-called opening of the mountain gate to recruit disciples would be a huge joke. At that time, the Shura Sect's disciples were constantly leaving and were already on the verge of disintegration. Who would be willing to jump into the fire pit?
But now, the situation had changed. Everything was different.
At least, there was a superior cultivation environment and half-step Great Saint experts overseeing it. It gave people hope.
In the tens of thousands of miles around Tai Luo City, there were many people dying every year, but there were also many people being born.
The decennial Tai Luo Assembly was not only to promote the Shura Sect, but also to prepare for the recruitment of disciples.
When the news spread throughout Tai Luo City, it set off a frenzy.
Of course, regarding this situation, some people sneered, while others yearned for it. Their reactions were different.
Some youngsters from smaller towns picked up their luggage and set off for the Shura Sect.
No matter what, the Shura Sect now gave people hope to rise. If they took this opportunity to join the Shura Sect, they would definitely gain more benefits.
