Qin Feng!
He had naturally not forgotten this person. Back in the Central Divine Continent, Qin Feng had helped him a great deal.
After arriving in the Profound Observing Universe, he had always wanted to go and see Qin Feng, but he was afraid of causing trouble for the other party, so he had not gone.
He never expected that Qin Feng would take the initiative to send someone to contact him and even bring him immortal crystals!
Looking at the storage ring in his hand, a smile appeared on Ye Guan’s face.
Along this journey, he had many enemies, but he also had friends. Although they were not numerous, each one was truly good.
Ye Guan put away the storage ring, then looked at Cao Bai and smiled. “Brother Cao, let us return to the Sword Sect!”
Cao Bai nodded.
The two of them rode their swords into the air and vanished at the edge of the sky.
After returning to the Sword Sect, Ye Guan came to a vast wasteland. Looking around, it stretched endlessly.
The cultivation field.
This was the special training ground for Sword Sect disciples, rich with spiritual energy.
Cultivation.
There was still one month until the battle with the Child of Destiny. He naturally would not waste this month.
This time, he wanted to break through himself once again.
Soon, sword cries resounded throughout the cultivation field.
Inside the inner cabinet.
Li Banzhi, who was reviewing memorials, suddenly stopped. She looked ahead. There, a shadowy figure quietly condensed into form.
It was An You.
Li Banzhi looked at An You. “Have you found out clearly?”
An You shook his head. “Completely nothing.”
Completely nothing!
Li Banzhi immediately frowned. After a moment of silence, she said, “Stop investigating. If you continue, you will be in danger!”
An You nodded slightly. He hesitated, then said, “Chief Minister, I have a very bad premonition. This matter may not be as simple as we think. There could be a big fish behind it.”
Li Banzhi nodded slightly. “I know, but you cannot investigate further. If you do, you will definitely face danger. Moreover, continuing might alert the enemy.”
An You nodded. “Understood!”
Li Banzhi suddenly asked, “Are there any problems with the people protecting the little fellow?”
An You was slightly stunned, then quickly said, “Chief Minister, rest assured. The people of our Dark Academy are absolutely loyal to the Sword Lord.”
Li Banzhi nodded slightly. “Send five Time Immortals to South Province to protect the Ye Clan and the Nalan Clan there. If there is any movement, immediately bring the Ye Clan and the Nalan Clan back to the main academy.”
An You nodded. “Understood.”
Li Banzhi added, “Also send one Time Immortal to keep watch on Miss Fei Banqing at the South Province Profound Observing Academy.”
An You nodded. “Good!”
Li Banzhi nodded slightly. “You may go.”
An You gave a respectful bow and withdrew.
As soon as An You left, the space in front of Li Banzhi suddenly cracked open. The next moment, a black-robed elder slowly walked out. Behind him stood thirty powerhouses clad in black battle armour.
Profound Observing Divine Armour!
The strongest equipment in the current universe!
And these thirty people were the strongest unit in the Profound Observing Universe today: the Ancient Profound Observing Guards!
They came from thirty million years ago, had participated in the Void Truth War, and were survivors of that great battle.
It could be said that in the Profound Observing Universe, aside from a few supreme powerhouses, they were the strongest group.
And now, across the entire Profound Observing Universe, fewer than ten thousand Ancient Profound Observing Guards remained!
The black-robed elder gave Li Banzhi a slight bow. Behind him, the other thirty also bowed slightly.
Li Banzhi looked at the leading elder. “The safety of the young master is entrusted to you!”
It was not that she did not trust An You, but she had to make every possible preparation.
With that man absent, she had to prepare thoroughly for everything and plan for the worst in all matters.
The black-robed elder nodded. “Chief Minister, rest assured. As long as we are here, the young master is safe.”
Li Banzhi nodded. “Go.”
The thirty-one gave a slight bow and quietly disappeared.
After the thirty-one left, Li Banzhi rose and left the inner cabinet hall. She came to a stretch of starry sky. At the far end of the starry view stood a grand hall.
The Nether Hall.
The Nether Hall also fell under the jurisdiction of the Profound Observing Academy, but very few people knew of its existence.
Li Banzhi arrived at the entrance of the Nether Hall. At that moment, a woman came out to greet her. The woman had silver hair and wore a snow-white long dress.
The woman looked at Li Banzhi. “Who might you be, miss?”
Li Banzhi smiled. “Are you Miss Ji Xuan?”
Ji Xuan was slightly stunned. “You know me?”
Li Banzhi nodded and smiled. “Yes!”
Ji Xuan hesitated, then asked, “And senior is?”
Li Banzhi smiled. “My name is Li Banzhi.”
Ji Xuan was stunned. The next moment, her expression changed. “You are the Chief Minister of the Inner Cabinet!”
Li Banzhi nodded and smiled. “Yes!”
Ji Xuan quickly gave a slight bow. “Greetings, Chief Minister!”
Li Banzhi shook her head. “No need for formalities. Have you been well in the Nether Hall?”
Ji Xuan nodded. “Very well. Master treats me kindly.”
Li Banzhi nodded slightly. “Take me to see your master.”
Ji Xuan quickly said, “Please!”
Ji Xuan led Li Banzhi into the Nether Hall.
The Martial Tower.
In a vast sea region, continuous explosive sounds rang out. Waves surged, and heaven and earth trembled.
From the clouds above, the Great Martial Ancestor looked down below in silence.
Boom!
Suddenly, the entire sea region rose thousands of zhang high. The space within a thousand zhang radius cracked open directly!
At that moment, a man slowly walked out from the sea.
It was Lu Tian.
Lu Tian slowly closed his eyes. He flipped his hand and pressed down.
Boom!
The thousand-zhang waves instantly shattered. The surrounding space-time broke apart at that moment.
Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on the Great Martial Ancestor’s face.
A moment later, the surrounding space-time returned to normal. Lu Tian took a deep breath. He looked at the Great Martial Ancestor. The Great Martial Ancestor smiled. “Congratulations on reaching the Pinnacle Creation realm!”
Pinnacle Creation!
He had now reached the Ascended Pinnacle Creation realm!
Lu Tian smiled. “Why not take another step further?”
With that, he suddenly stepped forward.
Boom!
A terrifying aura suddenly surged from within his body.
Boom!
Suddenly, dark clouds appeared in the sky. Immediately afterwards, a terrifying pressure swept over.
Tribulation crossing!
Seeing this, shock appeared in the eyes of the Great Martial Ancestor beside him.
Breaking through two realms in a row?
Soon, streaks of lightning appeared within the black clouds. As the lightning emerged, an extremely terrifying pressure instantly swept down.
At that moment, the entire heaven and earth began to tremble violently. It was utterly horrifying.
Lu Tian raised his head. He looked at the terrifying lightning with disdain. “Come!”
Boom!
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning shot straight down from the black clouds.
Crack!
As the lightning fell, the entire sky’s space-time cracked open.
At that moment, Lu Tian suddenly clenched his right hand into a fist. The next instant, he punched upwards fiercely. “Break!”
Boom!
A talisman-marked fist beam shot into the sky and struck the lightning directly.
Boom!
The lightning shattered. The powerful shockwave from the impact spread thousands of zhang away, tearing heaven and earth apart.
Just then, another bolt of lightning shot straight down from the sky.
This bolt was more than twice as powerful as the previous one.
A trace of contempt flashed in Lu Tian’s eyes. He punched out again. Another talisman-marked fist beam soared upwards.
Boom!
Suddenly, a deafening explosion resounded between heaven and earth. Immediately afterwards, countless bolts of lightning burst outwards from the sky. The powerful force directly shattered the surrounding space-time.
Boom!
Suddenly, yet another bolt of lightning shot straight down.
Below, Lu Tian swept his sleeve.
Boom!
A terrifying force surged into the sky. The newly appeared lightning shattered instantly, turning into countless fragments of lightning that rained down.
Three heavenly tribulations had passed!
A smile appeared on the Great Martial Ancestor’s face. But at that moment, another bolt of lightning appeared within the cloud layer.
The Great Martial Ancestor was stunned, then said in a trembling voice, “Hidden tribulation! This is the legendary hidden tribulation!”
Lu Tian looked at the Great Martial Ancestor with slightly furrowed brows. “Hidden tribulation?”
The Great Martial Ancestor said excitedly, “Yes! To reach the Supreme realm, one must pass three tribulations. But many people do not know that there is actually one more tribulation, the hidden tribulation. This is a hidden tribulation set by Pavilion Master Qin back then. Only peerless prodigies can trigger it. If you trigger this tribulation and overcome it, not only will you receive double the reward from the Heavenly Dao, but you will also immediately obtain a mysterious additional reward!”
He grew more and more excited. “Lu Tian, you truly are a peerless prodigy! Not only did I underestimate you, the world has greatly underestimated you!”
Lu Tian took a deep breath. He looked up at the black clouds. At that moment, a bolt of lightning slowly emerged from the clouds. This lightning was a full thousand zhang long and carried a faint red colour!
As this lightning appeared, the space in the field began to collapse inch by inch.
Its power was terrifying beyond measure!
A trace of ferocity flashed in Lu Tian’s eyes. “Come!”
As his voice fell, he suddenly stomped his right foot. His entire body transformed into a divine talisman and shot into the sky.
Boom!
As soon as the divine talisman touched the lightning, the lightning shattered instantly.
Boom!
That entire region of space-time collapsed directly. It was horrifying!
A moment later, space-time recovered. Lu Tian stood in the sky with his hands behind his back. Between his brows, a dao mark slowly faded away.
Above his head, the black clouds suddenly erupted with strands of white light pouring down, engulfing Lu Tian completely.
The Heavenly Dao’s gift!
The Heavenly Dao’s body tempering!
A moment later, Lu Tian’s aura surged crazily.
Boom!
The surrounding heaven and earth boiled at that moment!
After a long while, the white light gradually dispersed. Lu Tian walked out. He took a deep breath, then swept his sleeve.
Boom!
A terrifying bolt of lightning swept outwards. Space-time shattered directly!
Within the lightning, there was a faint red hue!
In the sky, a smile appeared on the Great Martial Ancestor’s face. “Hidden tribulation Supreme realm!”
Lu Tian slowly closed his eyes and chuckled lightly. “Great Sword Emperor? It does not seem all that impressive!”
The Great Martial Ancestor smiled. “Let me tell you a secret!”
Lu Tian looked at the Great Martial Ancestor. The Great Martial Ancestor smiled. “I just received the latest news. That Ye Guan is not a Great Sword Emperor!”
Lu Tian frowned slightly. “Not a Great Sword Emperor?”
The Great Martial Ancestor smiled. “Yes! The Immortal Treasure Pavilion invited a group of powerhouses to analyse the sword momentum from that day. It was not his personal sword momentum. It was likely due to that sword. Therefore, Ye Guan is not a Great Sword Emperor at all! It is just that the sword is rather special. If that is the case, then in the battle one month from now, you will definitely win steadily, because your dao mark will absolutely suppress his sword!”
Lu Tian chuckled lightly. “So that is how it is!”
The Great Martial Ancestor nodded slightly. “Continue cultivating here. I will go outside and contact more noble families and sects for you!”
Lu Tian immediately gave a deep bow. “Many thanks, teacher!”
The Great Martial Ancestor nodded and turned to leave.
After the Great Martial Ancestor left, Lu Tian slowly closed his eyes. At that moment, a voice suddenly rang in his mind. “If they knew you also possess two domains and are dual-cultivating dao body, I wonder what their expressions would be!”
Lu Tian chuckled lightly. “I am actually quite looking forward to the expressions of those forces that invested in Ye Guan. They will surely be spectacular.”
As he spoke, he seemed to think of something and added, “The person behind Ye Guan is definitely not simple either!”
That voice chuckled lightly. “Rest assured. In the Profound Observing Universe, since the Human Sword Lord and the Qingqiu Female Emperor, no one can fight, including that so-called Boundless Lord they boast about and those so-called Great Sword Emperors. All of them are mere ants.”
Tomorrow’s update will be explosive.
I am thinking whether to release a little or a lot. If I release too much, I am afraid you will run out of coins. Originally ten yuan could last you a month, but if I explode all at once and use up all your coins, what then.
