On this day, a vast aura suddenly soared into the sky above the Pill Tower.
The aura was majestic as mountains and boundless as the ocean, instantly sweeping across the entire Holy Pill City.
Countless people raised their heads toward the Pill Tower, their eyes filled with shock.
"What is this..."
"The Saint Realm!"
"Someone has broken through to Half-Saint!"
"It's coming from the Pill Tower! Could one of the Three Great Heads of the Pill Tower have broken through?"
"No! This aura is unfamiliar and powerful. It definitely isn't one of the Three Great Heads!"
In plazas, streets, and taverns, countless people discussed it fervently, their eyes filled with astonishment and curiosity.
Meanwhile, deep within the Pill Tower.
Xuan Kongzi, Xuan Yi, and Tian Leizi all looked up at the same time toward the secret chamber, their eyes full of delight.
"This aura..."
Xuan Yi's eyes reddened.
"It's him. It's Yao Chen."
The doors to the secret chamber slowly opened.
A figure stepped out from within.
He was a middle-aged man in white robes, with ink-black hair, handsome features, and an elegant bearing.
A faint holy radiance flowed around him, emanating a pressure that made hearts tremble.
It was Yao Chen.
But Yao Chen was no longer an illusory soul.
He was a living, breathing man.
A living, breathing Half-Saint!
Feeling the surging power within his body, Yao Chen's lips curled upward slightly.
How many years had it been?
He had finally come back to life.
And he had broken through to Half-Saint in one go.
He looked up at the three old friends approaching him and smiled faintly.
"Xuan Kongzi, Xuan Yi, Tian Leizi, long time no see."
Xuan Yi looked at him, and tears burst from her eyes once more.
This time, they were tears of joy.
