(My computer broke down this morning, so I took it to be repaired. It's fine now. Here's the first update.)
The divine power of the universe, 999,999 miles, finally dissipated. That extremely oppressive aura also dissipated. The universe's Qi that surged endlessly like the water of a great river also dissipated.
Everything returned to peace. But this was only on the surface. Everyone's heart was not calm.
It seemed that when the first person on the Divine Lord List broke through to the Fifth Realm in the past, there was not such a huge commotion.
Potential!
Incomparably shocking potential.
No one knew how big Chen Zong's breakthrough was this time. After breaking through to the Fourth Realm, it would be the Fifth Realm. But the Fifth Realm was a huge realm. The difference in strength was not something that the Fourth Realm could compare to.
After all, the Fifth Realm contained the Great Accomplishment and Perfection of the Great Path. The Fourth Realm was only the Small Accomplishment of the Great Path. The difference was huge.
Such a huge breakthrough was enough to prove that the increase in Chen Zong's abilities after his breakthrough was definitely extraordinary. However, it was hard to say exactly how much it had increased. It was likely that other than Chen Zong, no one else knew. However, there was one thing that was certain, and that was that it was definitely extraordinary. Before his breakthrough, Chen Zong's abilities were already comparable to that of a typical Fifth Realm cultivator. After his breakthrough, his abilities would definitely increase significantly, and he might even reach the peak of Fifth Realm.
Chen Zong did not come out of seclusion after breaking through. Instead, he continued to cultivate in seclusion. This was very normal. After breaking through, one's potential would be in a very active state for a period of time. Under such a state, the efficiency of cultivation would be more than ten times that of normal. Of course, he had to make full use of this period of time to improve himself until his potential recovered and stabilized.
"There are still about three years before the opening of the Dreamless Palace. Chen Zong should not miss the time." The Tianguang Peak Lord was very happy.
After all, back then, the Dreamless Palace was the greatest benefit that he had obtained for Chen Zong. However, due to the interference of the Tenth Elder, he had imposed some conditions. Now, these conditions did not seem to be an obstacle. The Tianguang Peak Lord naturally felt a burst of joy from the bottom of his heart.
In contrast to the contentment of the peak master of Tianguang Peak, the people of Gulan Peak were not in a good mood. They felt disgusted, as if they had swallowed a fly, their expressions terrible. The higher Chen Zong achieved and the more benefits he would obtain, the more upset they would feel.
However, they couldn't do anything at the moment. It was difficult to deal with Chen Zong, so they could only wait for the right time.
"I hope he stays in seclusion and misses the opportunity," said an elder from the Ancient Wave Peak.
Chen Zong was still in closed-door training. No one knew how long he would be in closed-door training. It could be a year or ten years.
Time flew by. A year had passed. Chen Zong was still in seclusion. There were still about two years before the opening of the Dreamless Palace.
Two years had passed, and Chen Zong was still in seclusion.
A few months later, Chen Zong, who was motionless like a statue, suddenly opened his eyes. A bright light shot out of his eyes. The light was so clear that one could see the bottom of the light, but it also had a boundless depth to it.
His aura surged, and it was extremely powerful. Under the activation of the terrifying sword intent, it felt like it was going to pierce through the sky.
Earlier, when Chen Zong was on the land that was enveloped by death, he witnessed the shocking sword light that split the darkness and the valley apart. He was greatly moved, and the bottleneck of his sword technique and Sword Dao was broken because of this.
Originally, the power of the Heart Sword Art and the World Sword Art was equivalent to mid-tier Moon-Class Secret Techniques. After the breakthrough, they were equivalent to high-tier Moon-Class Secret Techniques. Now that they reached level five, Chen Zong had a deeper understanding of swordsmanship. He was sure that his Heart Sword Art and the World Sword Art had broken through again. They were at least super-tier Moon-Class Secret Techniques now.
After that, he could continue to cultivate and comprehend them. It wasn't impossible for him to upgrade them to super-tier Moon-Class Secret Techniques. In fact, he might even be able to reach a higher level – Sun-Class Secret Techniques.
Chen Zong couldn't help but think that he should try his best to upgrade his swordsmanship. After all, there was no limit to swordsmanship.
If he could upgrade his swordsmanship to super-tier Sun-Class Secret Techniques, then no one in level five would be his match.
If he could upgrade his swordsmanship to the level of Divine Skill, it would be even more terrifying. The power of Sword Divine Skill would be astonishing.
With a sword in hand, he could dominate the universe.
Of course, Chen Zong knew how difficult it was to upgrade his swordsmanship. After all, his swordsmanship started from the lowest level, and he made breakthroughs again and again. Chen Zong knew how difficult it was to upgrade his swordsmanship.
Chen Zong didn't think that it would be difficult to upgrade his swordsmanship to super-tier Moon-Class Secret Techniques. Perhaps, it wouldn't take him more than a few years. However, it would be difficult to break through the limit and upgrade his swordsmanship to super-tier Moon-Class Secret Techniques. Not only did he need to work hard, but he also needed opportunities.
Now that he had broken through and his seclusion had ended, Chen Zongdou could feel that his strength was unparalleled.
He was still in the second level of the Godly Demon Sword Codex, but his Silver Sword Body and Sea-Splitting Sword Energy were more than ten times more powerful.
To be fair, the power of the second level of the Godly Demon Sword Codex could only be fully unleashed at the fifth level. It wasn't comparable to the fourth level, so it was more than ten times more powerful.
"Now, I only need one finger to kill me before I broke through," Chen Zong muttered to himself and sighed.
He couldn't help but think back to the past. If he didn't come to this great universe by chance, he would be in the original void. Even if he broke through and became a Dominator, it wouldn't be comparable to now.
They were both at the fifth level, but the difference in level and ability was huge. Moreover, in the void, the fifth level was the limit. The road ahead was cut off, and there was no way to improve. However, it was different in the universe. There was still a long way to go beyond the fifth level.
"It's time to come out." Chen Zong retracted his thoughts and took a step forward. He appeared in front of the door of the secret room, pushed it open, and stepped out.
In the next breath, Chen Zong was stunned.
"Where is this?" If his memory served him right, he was still in the secret room behind closed doors a moment ago. He had just pushed open the door of the secret room, intending to come out from behind closed doors and meet the Peak Master of Tianguang.
Unexpectedly, in the next breath, it wasn't the familiar scene in front of him, but a road.
This road extended straight ahead. He didn't know where it extended to, and it seemed to have no end. The road was white, as if it was paved with white jade. It had an indescribable smoothness, and it seemed to emit a faint halo. It wasn't dazzling, but it had an indescribable gentleness.
The white jade road wasn't wide. It was only about one meter wide. There were lines of engravings on it. If one looked closely, one would find that they were like sword edges, pointing straight ahead.
On both sides of the white jade road, there were endless clouds and fog. It was like an endless sea of clouds, bottomless and mysterious.
Chen Zong was very sure that this was definitely not Tianguang Peak. There was no such place on Tianguang Peak.
An illusion?
Someone had set up an illusion outside the secret room behind closed doors. As a result, the moment he walked out of the secret room behind closed doors, he was immediately trapped in the illusion.
Then, who could it be?
This was Tianguang Peak of Taihao Mountain, which was guarded by a Sword Saint. Who could sneak in and set up an illusion?
If they had such ability, why did they have to do this? They could've eliminated him directly.
Then, was it the doing of a powerhouse of Taihao Mountain?
This was Tianguang Peak. The Tianguang Peak Lord could be considered a top Seventh Realm cultivator. In addition, there were many Seventh Realm powerhouses guarding Tianguang Peak. It wasn't easy to sneak in and set up an illusion. At the very least, one had to have the strength of a Seventh Realm cultivator, and an extraordinary one at that.
But then again, if such a powerful Seventh Realm cultivator wanted to deal with him, he didn't have to resort to using an illusion.
Thinking quickly, Chen Zong thought of many things in an instant and made many analyses. But in the end, he couldn't come to a correct conclusion.
What about now?
If this was really an illusion, how could he see through it?
Chen Zong raised his Energy, Energy, and Spirit to the extreme, and also raised his perception to the extreme. He carefully sensed everything around him, but he couldn't find anything wrong.
Any illusion was a kind of deceit. It could deceive one's perception and so on. In order to see through it, one had to start from there. Relying on one's spirit and the strength of one's spirit, ordinary illusions would not be able to do anything to oneself. Even if it was some advanced illusions, one could still sense that something was wrong and leave behind some clues.
After carefully analyzing and sensing, Chen Zong didn't feel anything wrong at all. Then, he directly unleashed his Sword Will. The extremely powerful Sword Will soared into the sky, as if it was going to shatter everything.
Before the breakthrough, Chen Zong's Sword Will had already been raised to a very high level. It was stronger than an ordinary Fifth Realm sword cultivator, and it was comparable to a top Fifth Realm sword cultivator.
Of course, top Fifth Realm was also a term that covered a range. There were still differences in strength.
Chen Zong didn't know what level his Sword Will had reached, but he was sure that it was definitely many times stronger than before the breakthrough. Even with such an explosive Sword Will, it still didn't affect him at all.
"Could it be that this isn't an illusion?" Chen Zong couldn't help but frown.
There were only two possibilities. Either this wasn't an illusion, so no matter how he tried, he couldn't find anything wrong with it.
Or, this was an extremely high-level illusion that was beyond the level Chen Zong could reach, so Chen Zong couldn't sense anything wrong.
No matter which it was, Chen Zong had to treat it seriously.
Chen Zong stared ahead. He could vaguely see that the path curved and extended endlessly.
"Let's go. There's no need to hesitate. You'll eventually see me after you cross this sword path." Very suddenly, a low voice sounded. It seemed to come from all directions, but it also seemed to ring directly in Chen Zong's mind. Instantly, Chen Zong was stunned.
You'll eventually see me?
See who?
Chen Zong was in a daze, but his mind was working at an astonishing speed. He suddenly thought of something, an extremely shocking thing. If it was true …
Then this time …
Chen Zong's heart couldn't help but beat wildly.
