As Wu Siyuan's Cultivation continued to break through, the astonishment on everyone's faces gradually turned into disbelief and horror.
But the matter isn't over yet.
Wu Siyuan's aura was still rising rapidly.
"Boom--!!"
The heavens and earth roared, and Spiritual Qi surged backward!
Wu Siyuan was surrounded by lightning, his aura like an angry dragon soaring into the sky, and he did this right before everyone's eyes—
One Step Ascension!
Early Heaven Ascension Realm - Broken!
Mid Heaven Ascension Realm – Breakthrough!
Late Heaven Ascension Realm – Breakthrough!
In just a few breaths, his aura had stabilized at the Peak Heaven Ascension Realm!
"Almost there."
Tiantian nodded in satisfaction, and with a gentle pull of her little hand, the invisible force that had been infused into the Unseen quietly dissipated.
"..."
The entire room fell silent.
Everyone stared blankly at the figure whose aura was as vast as the sea and whose imposing presence was as powerful as a mountain, their hearts trembling violently.
Then I looked at the Grey Skirted Little Lolita with her innocent face, as if she had only done a "small thing," and my mind went blank.
Heaven Ascension Realm...
And at the Peak Heaven Ascension Realm?!
"How... how is this possible?"
"From the Feather Transformation Early Stage to the Heaven Ascension Peak... there are at least several hundred years of arduous cultivation in between."
How could he possibly break through several realms in an instant?
"What exactly did that Little Girl do?"
Exclamations, screams of horror, and even piercing screams rose and fell.
Wu Siyuan's breakthrough was indeed terrifying, but he was not the real protagonist today.
All eyes were fixed on Tiantian.
They couldn't imagine how this seemingly harmless Little Girl, who looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, could possess such extraordinary and Heaven and Earth Heaven Defying Power!
Everyone's understanding was completely overturned at this moment.
The color drained from Chen Junlin's face, his whole body trembled violently, and his eyes were filled with boundless fear and despair.
He boasted of his exceptional talent and received preferential Soul Refining Sect. After more than two hundred years of arduous cultivation and experiencing life and death, he finally reached the Mid Heaven Ascension Realm.
But Wu Siyuan —the "good-for-nothing" he had trampled underfoot for thirty years— One Step Ascension in the blink of an eye, even surpassing him!
The Peak Heaven Ascension Realm...
This Cultivation is enough to crush him by ten streets!
"No, impossible... This must be an illusion, it must be fake!!"
He growled hoarsely, but the terrifying pressure, as if a mountain were pressing down on him, told him unmistakably—
All of this is true.
Chu Sisi collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face, her heart filled with endless regret.
Why did I abandon him back then?
Why choose Chen Junlin, that good-for-nothing?
If only I had waited for him back then, if only I had believed his words, "Never underestimate a young man's potential"...
Now, standing beside him, basking in his envy, is the one who should be enjoying this Heaven Ascension Peak!
But there's no going back in this world.
Wu Siyuan slowly opened his eyes, feeling the vast and terrifying power within his body, as if it could tear the sky apart with a single thought. A trace of bewilderment flashed in his eyes.
Thirty years of struggle, thirty years of despair.
Today, however, One Step Ascension.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, turned around, and bowed solemnly in Tiantian's direction:
"Miss Tiantian... I, Wu Siyuan, will never forget your kindness in Dao-Bestowing Grace!"
Tiantian just waved her hand and said with a grin:
"No need to thank me, my Brother asked me to help you."
As she spoke, she tugged at Zhang Yu's sleeve again, tilting her Small Face up with expectant eyes:
"Brother, how did I do?"
Zhang Yu was equally stunned by Tiantian's actions, and even a little envious of Wu Siyuan.
Although he has a system, his Cultivation is still achieved step by step through "greed" for missions. Although there are shortcuts, he still needs to accumulate experience.
Wu Siyuan, on the other hand, didn't have to do anything, yet he gained a century's worth of internal energy for no reason!
Moreover, his aura was solid, his foundation was firm, and his True Qi was thick and substantial, as if it had been tempered a thousand times, showing no signs of weakness.
"Just who is this Little Girl? How could she be so terrifying?"
Zhang Yu was filled with doubt and surprise, thinking to himself, "No wonder the system said this is Once in Ten Thousand Years; it's even more useful than the system itself."
Suppressing his thoughts, Zhang Yu looked at Tiantian, who had an innocent expression, and nodded:
"Well done... that's excellent."
That's so good it's almost scary.
His gaze shifted to Chen Junlin, whose face was ashen, then glanced at Chu Sisi, who was filled with remorse, and his tone remained calm:
"Chen Junlin, now—do you still think that Wu Siyuan will never catch up with you in this lifetime?"
Chen Junlin trembled all over, his lips quivered, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Wu Siyuan.
Zhang Yu said calmly:
"Your revenge is yours to settle."
Wu Siyuan nodded heavily, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. He took a step forward and was already in front of Chen Junlin.
"Chen Junlin, thirty years ago you destroyed my meridians, stole my love, and humiliated half my life."
"It's time to pay it back."
Facing Wu Siyuan, Peak Heaven Ascension Realm, Chen Junlin was filled with regret, but at this critical moment of life and death, how could he sit idly by and wait for death?
He took advantage of Wu Siyuan's recent breakthrough, unstable realm, and lack of experience, and preemptively attacked.
And indeed, things turned out exactly as he predicted.
Wu Siyuan's strength surged, and he was unable to adapt for a while. He was forced into a flurry of activity and fell into a disadvantageous position.
"Haha, trash is trash."
Even if you receive the Fortune in the world, it cannot change the baseness in your bones!
Seeing this, Chen Junlin felt somewhat reassured and launched an even fiercer attack, each move aimed to kill.
Although Wu Siyuan appeared disheveled, his Fortune.
With each exchange of blows, Chen Junlin felt his Qi and Blood surging and a sense of impending collapse.
The quality and purity of this True Qi far surpassed his!
The onlookers also noticed something amiss, and their faces turned horrified.
They had seen Evil Cultivator forcibly enhance their Cultivation through Secret Method, but all of them had weak foundations and mixed True Qi, making them far inferior to their Combat Power.
Despite Wu Siyuan's Cultivation, his foundation remained as solid as a rock, and his True Qi was so pure that it rivaled that of Celestial Person.
This kind of illogical thing is simply unheard of and unseen!
This is hardly a case of forcing growth.
This is clearly a complete transformation, a rebuilding of the foundation of one's Dao!
In an instant, everyone's gaze toward Tiantian shifted from shock to intense fervor and greed.
This Little Girl... she's practically a walking "Divine Treasury of Dao Attainment"!
Meanwhile, Wu Siyuan, after the initial adjustment period, gradually became familiar with the surging power.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes. He stopped dodging and threw a punch straight at Chen Junlin's palm strike!
"Boom--!!"
Fist and palm collided, and the air surge exploded!
Chen Junlin felt an overwhelming, unstoppable force surge towards him, his True Qi shattered instantly, and his entire right arm snapped off inch by inch with a "crack"!
"Puff--!!"
He coughed up blood and flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground dozens of feet away.
At this moment, Chen Junlin's ribs were shattered, he was barely breathing, and his eyes were filled with endless fear and despair.
Wu Siyuan withdrew his fist and stood upright, his aura as imposing as a mountain. He coldly looked at Chen Junlin, who was slumped like a dead dog, and his voice was icy:
"This punch is for the thirty years I've endured—a life worse than death!"
He raised his fist again, his murderous intent palpable.
"No, no, Junior Brother Wu!"
"Spare me, spare me..."
Chen Junlin begged for mercy frantically, tears streaming down his face, but Wu Siyuan's eyes remained completely unmoved.
The fist fell, and blood splattered.
Chen Junlin, his Divine Soul utterly destroyed.
Upon seeing this, Chu Sisi screamed and fainted on the spot.
Wu Siyuan didn't even glance at her, but turned around and kowtowed heavily again in the direction of Zhang Yu and Tiantian.
"The revenge has been taken, but the debt of gratitude remains unpaid."
"In this life and the next, Wu Siyuan is willing to die for the Young Peak Master and Miss Tiantian!"
Zhang Yu nodded slightly, said no more, took Tiantian's little hand, and turned to leave.
He was starting to regret letting Tiantian take action; her abilities were too extraordinary and would definitely attract countless covetous eyes.
After a deathly silence, the gathering place for Servant Disciple erupted into a volcanic frenzy!
Countless fiery, greedy, and even frenzied gazes were fixed on Tiantian's petite figure, as if they wanted to devour her alive and squeeze every last drop of value out of her.
"Quickly, send a message to Master."
A mysterious girl has appeared on Crimson Flame Peak, capable of instantly creating Heaven Ascension Peak!
"Report this to the Lineage immediately!"
Stealths of hidden communication talisman light streaked across the sky like meteors, flying towards the various peaks of the Soul Refining Sect, towards the outside world, and towards those forces hidden in the shadows.
Greed spread like a plague.
A mysterious entity that can elevate someone to the One Step Ascension and solidify their foundation...
What does that mean?
This means that countless cultivators stuck at their bottlenecks can easily break through!
This means that Lineage and sects can mass-produce top-tier Combat Power!
This means that whoever controls her controls the future!
Qing Mu took in all of this, a chill running through him.
He has lived for thousands of years and knows all too well the greed and madness of human nature.
The "ability" that Tiantian has displayed today is no longer an "fortuitous opportunity," but a disaster, a catastrophic disaster that could bring about utter destruction!
"Young Peak Master..."
He strode forward, lowered his voice, and spoke with utmost seriousness:
"This place is no place to linger. We must immediately take Miss Tiantian back to Crimson Flame Peak and inform the Sect Master and the Grand Elder."
"Within three days, the Soul Refining Sect will surely become the target of everyone's ire, and may even attract the descent of Heavenly Immortal!"
"At that time, not only Crimson Flame Peak, but the entire Soul Refining Sect might not be able to withstand this monstrous wave!"
Zhang Yu looked serious; Qing Mu's words were not an exaggeration.
But he also knew that there was no way to escape it.
There were too many witnesses to today's events; the news simply couldn't be contained.
