A breakthrough and a new lead

The Light God Clan.

On the summit of Heaven-Reaching Peak.

Chen Ning was sitting cross-legged, contemplating the changes within himself.

This mountain, just as its name suggests, soars into the clouds, connecting heaven and earth. It is also a great treasure land of the Light God Clan. Without the permission of the Light Clan Leader, not just anyone can cultivate here.

But Chen Ning was different at this moment.

Let alone a single mountain peak.

Even if the Light Clan Leader were to personally carry Chen Ning up, he would probably do it willingly.

Chen Ning gained far more than he had imagined from his battle with Li Changsheng.

Not only did it push him to his limits, but it also unleashed the nameless divine technique passed down from the First Generation.

Furthermore, they received blessings from the Vast Land and heaven.

Earth-shaking changes have taken place.

Now, as Chen Ning meditates and cultivates, with each breath he takes, it's as if a whale is inhaling, and boundless spiritual energy from heaven and earth surges in.

Various extraordinary phenomena of the Great Dao appeared in succession, intertwining and unfolding.

This will help Chen Ning advance further in his spiritual practice.

Everything seemed to be divinely ordained.

Chen Ning began to undergo a complete transformation.

Its True Dragon Body, soul, and cultivation were all tempered, and its aura surged several times over, soaring upwards.

An ultimate transformation is about to begin.

At a certain moment.

Chen Ning opened his eyes, his aura concealed.

A look of joy appeared on his face.

"I never expected him to advance to the Saint King Realm."

Chen Ning was somewhat taken aback.

I thought that advancing to the Late-Stage Great Saint after the battle with Li Changsheng would be an achievement in itself.

However, he still underestimated the power of the Vast Land and sky to bestow blessings.

His accumulated knowledge and skills eventually allowed him to directly reach the Early-Stage Saint King.

Chen Ning stood up and took a step forward.

Even this tiny movement is in harmony with the rhythm of nature, and is extremely mysterious.

Chen Ning didn't know whether to be happy or have a headache.

After becoming the spokesperson for Vast Land, it will be difficult to keep a low profile.

At this moment.

A blinding light flashed.

It is dazzling even in broad daylight.

Chen Ning glanced at it and, sure enough, it was the flamboyant old man, the Chief of the Light Clan Leader, who had arrived.

"My grandson-in-law! He's extraordinary! Truly extraordinary!"

The Light Clan Leader looked Chen Ning up and down, praising him, "You have no idea! Those old fogies from the other major God Clan have all sent word, inviting me to be their guest, to strengthen the relationship between our two clans. Not to mention the other smaller clans, they've practically worn down our doorstep."

The Light Clan Leader was beaming. He cared most about these things, and the more he looked at Chen Ning, the happier he became. He said, "Grandson-in-law, this is all thanks to you! I haven't felt this proud in years! It's truly exhilarating!"

"It is all thanks to the protection of the Light God Clan that I am where I am today."

Chen Ning spoke modestly.

The Light Clan Leader was displeased. "Shut up! What do you mean by the Light God Clan protecting you? You're being so formal. We're family now, and I'll be passing this position on to that girl in Hongyi. You're her husband, so you're practically the leader of our clan too. We can't be so distant with family!"

Chen Ning couldn't help but chuckle.

The Light Clan Leader's words essentially confirmed that Ji Hongyi would take over the Light God Clan in the future.

Chen Ning was also happy for her.

This can be considered as fulfilling her father's unfulfilled wish.

"Chieftain, you weren't always so resolute."

"Nonsense, I didn't know you could beat Li Changsheng before."

The two joked and laughed for a few moments.

Chen Ning suddenly asked, "By the way, why haven't we seen the Hongyi?"

"Oh, that girl said that since you're already so powerful, she doesn't want to fall too far behind you, so she's gone into seclusion and said she won't come out until she reaches the Saint King Realm."

The chieftain of the Light Clan Leader and said, "That girl... she's just too competitive, like her father..."

It seems he was thinking of the junior he valued most back then.

A hint of sadness flashed in the eyes of the Light Clan Leader.

Then, the Light Clan Leader spoke up again, "Oh, right, grandson-in-law, I almost forgot, when you were breaking through to the Saint King Realm, one of your subordinates came to the City of Light looking for you."

"Subordinate?"

Chen Ning was slightly taken aback.

Nalan Yao and the others remained in the City of Light.

What other subordinates do you have?

Suddenly.

Chen Ning remembered.

He did indeed have a subordinate, whom he had only met once and who had never appeared again.

That one.

He was the person Chen Ning could least understand.

Soon.

Chen Ning returned to the City of Light.

Chen Ning's residence in the City of Light was a magnificent palace. At this moment, in a side hall, the group of people from So Close Yet Worlds Apart were already waiting.

In.

Sui Qingshan was also prominently listed.

Chen Ning stepped inside.

Including Sui Qingshan, Nalan Yao, Old Man Yang, Bai Ziyu, Xue Rang, Ding Erliang all stood up respectfully and said, "Greetings, Leader."

Chen Ning nodded slightly.

He gestured for everyone to sit down.

Only Sui Qingshan remained standing, which made Chen Ning look doubtful.

Sui Qingshan clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Your subordinate brings news for the leader."

"Explain."

"Our group, 'So Close Yet Worlds Apart, Far Away,' has eight members. When our former leader summoned us, two were absent. I have learned the whereabouts of one of those two, and he was the one who received the most guidance from the old leader. The old leader also left him a brocade pouch, the contents of which are known only to him."

Upon hearing that the news concerned the First-Generation Sect Master, Chen Ning's eyes lit up.
