Sun-Awakening Has Issued a Decree, Total Perception Evolves

On Yellow Luminary Peak, the blood mist had not yet dissipated.

The majestic, three-zhang-tall divine Precious Appearance had vanished, and the sky-filling lightning had retreated into the sea of clouds. Heaven and earth returned to clarity, as if nothing had ever happened.

Only the wind from the valley entrance blew in, making the tattered banner on the peak flutter and causing Liu Mian's white robes to sway gently.

She remained standing there, somewhat dazed.

Liu Mian was a disciple of Sun-Awakening Upper Peak. On his master's orders, he traveled among the sixteen lower peaks, collecting tributes and conveying orders. He had seen countless Dao Foundation Realm cultivators.

In her opinion, among these sixteen lower peaks, the number of those whose cultivation could steadily surpass Zhuo Jiaowu's was no more than ten.

Those who could defeat Zhuo Jiaowu on Yellow Luminary Peak were extremely rare.

Then...

Zhuo Jiaowu, who had cultivated the Profound Root Wondrous Fruit, was smashed into a bloody mist by the mysterious figure in front of him with a single punch.

When that punch landed, she didn't even see where the force came from. She only felt the entire Yellow Luminary Peak sink downwards, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down from the heavens.

Zhuo Jiaowu's body exploded in the Void, his Dao Platform Profound Root shattered, leaving only his head falling onto the peak.

"This person's Killing Power is truly formidable; he is undoubtedly an outsider. Otherwise, how could the two Dao Foundation Realm from Sun-Watching Peak have perished?"

Just as Liu Mian was feeling surprised, she suddenly sensed that the communication Jade Slip in her Hongdong Bag was trembling slightly. It was a letter from Liu Mian's master.

She quickly composed herself and used her Divine Sense to probe the Jade Slip.

The Divine Sense within the Jade Slip slip drifted into her Consciousness Sea.

"Capture him first and take him to Sun-Awakening Upper Peak. The Elders' Hall will make its own decision. Don't let Zhuo Jiaowu kill this man."

Capture this person?

Don't let Zhuo Jiaowu kill this man!

Liu Mian frowned slightly, her eyes flickering.

She raised her head, her gaze piercing through the lingering blood mist and landing on the boy in the clouds.

The young man was calmly lifting Zhuo Jiaowu's head with a wisp of spiritual energy, his movements composed and his expression serene, as if he were picking up a fallen flower.

It was as if the earth-shattering battle just now was nothing more than an ordinary event to him.

The boy picked up the head, then glanced at the main hall of Yellow Luminary Peak, seemingly looking at something.

He immediately turned around, and the lightning and cloud of energy beneath his feet condensed on their own, ready to depart.

For a moment, Liu Mian was unsure whether she should attack him or not, or even whether she should reciprocate.

She sighed inwardly.

Based on the strength this person has displayed, I am simply no match for him with my own cultivation level, let alone able to capture him.

"If we force our way in, we'll likely be killed by this mysterious figure on Yellow Luminary Peak. We need to consult our master about this matter again."

Liu Mian's Divine Sense once again entered the Jade Slip.

This time, a message quickly came from the Jade Slip.

"What? This person easily killed Yellow Luminary Peak Zhuo Jiaowu?"

In the communication Jade Slip, Elder Mo Ge, Liu Mian's master, was extremely surprised. His Divine Sense flowed rapidly like a turbulent river, and he sent another message: "Could it be that he possesses some mysterious treasure? Or perhaps a fragment of some kind of Slaying-Force Cauldron?"

Liu Mian looked up at the young man, then at the Heavenly Boat that had been cut in two and Falling-Cloud Sea, and the scene from just now flashed through her mind.

Nineteen streaks of azure sword light traversed the sky, a bolt of lightning shattered the main hall's Mystic Light with a single finger, or a fist that crashed down from the Precious Appearance...

It consisted entirely of killing and Divine Ability, with no trace of any rare treasures.

She quickly responded to the Jade Slip with her Divine Sense: "That's not the case. This person did use two Spirit Artifact to kill Zhuo Jiaowu, but in my opinion, although these two Spirit Artifact are of extraordinary quality, they are still not at the third grade level."

It is almost identical to the [Qi-Weaving Spirit Net] and [Battle Light Hall] in Zhuo Jiaowu's hands.

This person's combat power largely comes from his own pure cultivation... Moreover, this person seems to be a self-cultivator.

The Jade Slip slip remained silent for a few breaths.

In the blink of an eye, the mysterious Spirit-Bearing Daoist had already flown many miles away.

The lightning and clouds beneath his feet left a very faint trail above the sea of clouds, which instantly merged with the surging mist and disappeared without a trace.

Liu Mian, however, remained on Yellow Radiance Peak, awaiting a letter from Sun-Awakening Upper Peak.

The disciples on the peak had long since scattered, and the hundreds of the Qi Circulation Realm were now either dead or had fled, leaving only an empty main peak.

The main hall remained majestic, but most of the 128 banners had fallen, like a giant who had lost his soul, standing alone in the sea of clouds, exuding an indescribable sense of desolation.

Liu Mian stood amidst the chaos, her clothes fluttering gently in the wind.

"A Dao Foundation Early Stage Establishment cultivator single-handedly stormed the Yellow Luminary Main Peak, and in front of three hundred disciples forming an array, killed Zhuo Jiaowu, who had once been listed on the Dragon-Transformation Immortal Ranking, with a single punch..."

She is still processing what she saw today.

After a dozen or so breaths, the communication Jade Slip suddenly flashed with light again, and a rapid stream of Divine Sense arrived.

"Since you are no match for him, first find out his whereabouts and don't let him escape."

Your senior brother Shenchuan has already set off and will soon join you."

Liu Mian sighed inwardly, recalling the terrifying killing Divine Ability of the Spirit-Bearing Daoist when he killed Zhuo Jiaowu...

When those nineteen sword lights traversed the sky, she felt the entire Yellow Luminary Peak tremble under the sword intent. Such Killing Power would make even Senior Brother Shenchuan have to take it seriously.

But with her master's orders, she had no choice but to grit her teeth, control the sword light, and pursue Chen Lingxi in that direction.

Chen Lingxi rode on the clouds.

He had already noticed Liu Mian following him from a distance, but he didn't expose her. He went straight to Sun-Watching Peak, plotting in his mind as he flew.

"I will first send the head of Zhuo Jiaowu to Sun-Watching Peak, and then use Total Perception Evolution to see Elder Liu Zhi and see if I can keep Sun-Watching Peak."

If things cannot be accomplished, then take Changle's disciples and leave this place as soon as possible.

The Great Xuanzhuo Realm is vast and boundless; there is always a place to settle down.

Chen Lingxi came to Sun-Watching Peak and offered Zhuo Jiaowu's head as a sacrifice in front of Liu Changle's tomb.

The five characters "Liu Changle, the Sun-Viewing Observer" on the stone tablet in front of the grave are still fresh, and the soil is still damp.

Chen Lingxi Chen Lingxi Zhuo Jiaowu's head in front of the monument. His eyes stared blankly at the sky, just like a once invincible ferocious beast that could not escape the fate of death and annihilation.

Chen Lingxi stood for a moment, then bowed to the tombstone before turning around.

Just then, Liu Mian in the clouds seemed to sense that Chen Lingxi was about to leave. After thinking for a moment, she gritted her teeth, flicked her sleeve, and dispersed the clouds in front of her.

She stood on the clouds, bowing respectfully towards Chen Lingxi from afar.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait." Liu Mian's Divine Sense flowed and landed on Chen Lingxi's ear. "Since you are a member of Sun-Watching Peak, now that you have returned to the Dragon-Offering Sect, you should go and pay your respects to Sun-Awakening Upper Peak."

"My master is already waiting for you, fellow Daoist."

Chen Lingxi raised an eyebrow slightly.

He turned around, his gaze falling on the white-clad female cultivator who had pursued him. His face remained expressionless, but his mind raced with thoughts.

"The elders above request your presence?"

"It seems that these three Dao Foundation Realm cultivators from Yellow Luminary Peak are not very important to Sun-Awakening Upper Peak... Just as the Changle Sect members said... Sun-Awakening Upper Peak collects tribute, but doesn't seem to offer any protection; it's more like paying protection money."

"If that's the case, does it mean I can take this opportunity to make contact with those in the Dao Foundation Late Stage, or even those at the Dao Foundation Perfection Stage, at Sun-Awakening Upper Peak?"

Chen Lingxi squinted, deep in thought.

At that very moment.

In the distance, the sea of clouds suddenly shifted and surged.

Chen Lingxi her head and saw a Heavenly Shuttle breaking through the clouds in the far distance!

A young man stood atop the Heavenly Shuttle, exuding a powerful aura and formidable Dao Origin.

The Heavenly Shuttle arrived incredibly fast, like a silver fish cutting through the sea of clouds. Wherever it passed, the clouds retreated on their own, revealing a straight path.

The young man on the shuttle stood with his hands behind his back, his face calm, but his eyes were like two deep pools, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

"A cultivator at the Second Profound of the Dao Foundation Middle Stage."

Having cultivated two Profound Root, they took root within the Dao Platform...

Chen Lingxi glanced at him and knew that this person was Dao Foundation Middle Stage cultivator.

His expression remained unchanged, and he showed little fear.

The cultivator at the Dao Foundation Middle Stage was incredibly powerful, and Chen Lingxi was no match for him.

However, Chen Lingxi possessed considerable resources, and if he were to simply flee, it wouldn't be difficult.

The person who arrived was none other than Wang Chenchuan, mentioned in the communication Jade Slip.

at this time.

Wang Chenchuan stood on the Heavenly Shuttle, looking down at Chen Lingxi. He didn't say much, but suddenly flicked his finger, and a talisman bloomed from the Void, turning into smoke and dust.

The talisman exploded without a sound, only dispersing into a hazy golden dust that slowly drifted away in the surging sea of clouds.

However, the Dao Origin fluctuations contained within the smoke and dust were extremely profound, causing the surrounding clouds to stagnate.

"Yang Jue has issued an edict, ordering Spirit-Bearing Daoist to go to the upper peak and pay homage to the Peak Master!"

"This is a favor from above; Sun-Watching Peak must not make any mistakes."

As the Dao Origin flowed, Wang Chenchuan remained indifferent, standing on the Heavenly Shuttle, looking down at Chen Lingxi.

Chen Lingxi remained composed and bowed to Wang Chenchuan, saying, "Please lead the way, fellow Daoist."

Fellow Daoist?

Wang Chenchuan frowned slightly.

How can someone in the Dao Foundation Early Stage become a fellow Daoist?

Wang Chenchuan was somewhat displeased, but he didn't know Chen Lingxi's background or why his superior had summoned him, so he didn't say anything more. He nodded slightly to Liu Mian and then rode the Heavenly Shuttle away through the clouds.

Chen Lingxi and Liu Mian also took to the clouds and followed Wang Chenchuan to Sun-Awakening Upper Peak.

Chen Lingxi naturally wouldn't take the risk.

On the Sun-Awakening Upper Peak, Dao Foundation Perfection Stage, cultivated four profound Profound Root Divine Ability. His combat strength is extraordinary. If he were to enter rashly, and if someone wanted to harm him, he would have no chance to resist.

So when Chen Lingxi flew out of Sun-Watching Peak, his consciousness entered the Divine Chamber, and he activated the Thorough Awakening Divine Ability!

Instantly, Twin Luminous Mirrors in the sky, echoing the three great suns of the Great Xuanzhuo Realm; apart from that, the world remained unchanged.

Only Chen Lingxi could see those Twin Luminous Mirrors. One was as blazing as the sun, and the other as silvery as the moon. Their radiance shone down, reflecting the light of the three great suns above his head, yet without disturbing anyone in the world.

Chen Lingxi then followed Wang Chenchuan to the Sun-Awakening Upper Peak during this Total Perception Evolution.

Sun-Awakening Upper Peak encompasses hundreds of surrounding mountains, vast and boundless, ruling over a radius of ten thousand miles.

His territory encompassed more than ten cities, each with its own unique characteristics.

Those mountains rise abruptly from the ground, towering into the clouds, with mist swirling around them, full of vitality.

A great river flows between the mountains, its surface as wide as a mirror, reflecting a soft, bluish light.

In the distance, streaks of light occasionally flashed by, some as fast as shooting stars chasing the moon, others as slow as birds returning to their nests.

On every mountain peak, cultivators practice, and it is common to see Dao Foundation Realm Establishment cultivators soaring overhead.

Chen Lingxi immediately understood why Sun-Awakening Upper Peak hadn't reacted much when he killed three Dao Foundation Realm from Yellow Luminary Peak.

"Perhaps to those in power, those below are not important; when those below fight each other, it's just a matter of another group of people paying tribute to them."

Chen Lingxi with emotion as he traveled through numerous mountains and cities before finally arriving at the main peak of Sun-Awakening Upper Peak.

On the main peak, the Spiritual Qi was even more concentrated, and it seemed that some kind of Spirit Gathering Formation was condensing the Spiritual Qi.

The Spiritual Qi was so dense that it almost solidified, like an invisible veil covering the entire mountain. From afar, it appeared as if clouds and mist were churning, but upon closer inspection, one could see that what was churning was actually wisps of Spiritual Qi.

White cranes cry in unison in the mountains, and deer roam freely in the forest, making it seem like a secluded Cave Heaven untouched by the world.

The architecture is extremely mysterious and extravagant, leaving one in awe.

The palaces and pavilions on the main peak are all built with spirit jade as the base and spirit wood as the beams, with flying eaves and upturned corners, layer upon layer covering the entire mountain.

The highest main hall hangs atop the mountain, supported by clouds and mist, like a celestial palace floating on a sea of clouds, magnificent and awe-inspiring.

Just then, Chen Lingxi suddenly sensed something and looked up.

But then, in the distant sky, a powerful figure appeared, shirtless, revealing his Precious Appearance as he approached.

His Precious Appearance Chen Lingxi's Great Sage Treasure Form, Precious Appearance tall and upright, reaching a height of a hundred feet.

At this moment, this powerful Precious Appearance held a Flood Dragon in one hand and a mountain in the other!

The Flood Dragon was tens of feet long, with scales as black as ink. It struggled desperately in the hands of the Precious Appearance, but could not break free from those five pillar-like fingers even a fraction of an inch.

The mountain was held in the palm of that Precious Appearance as if it were an ordinary object.

On that mountain, a Mysterious Qi seemed to be brewing, with wisps of mist constantly rising, incredibly profound.

Chen Lingxi's eyes brightened slightly.

"This Mysterious Qi is a rare treasure."

At this moment, the powerful Precious Appearance seemed to sense Chen Lingxi's gaze and lowered his head to look at Chen Lingxi.

The man merely glanced at it casually.

Chen Lingxi felt an unimaginable pressure erupt, enveloping the Void and suppressing the surrounding aura for a hundred miles.

The moment that oppressive force descended, Chen Lingxi's bones creaked involuntarily, and the Thunder Thunder-Prison Profound Root in his Qi Sea trembled violently, its Weiji Thunderlight dimming slightly.

The illusory image of the Great Sage Treasure Form within him instinctively tried to manifest, but before even a wisp of his aura could rise, it was suppressed and silenced again by the gaze of the hundred-foot- Precious Appearance.

Chen Lingxi a deep breath.

"Dao Foundation Perfection Stage! Fourth Profound Cultivator!"

Fortunately, this powerful Precious Appearance only glanced at Chen Lingxi before withdrawing his gaze and soaring away into the sky.

Chen Lingxi a sudden relief from the pressure and took a deep breath.

Just as the Precious Appearance leaped into the clouds and disappeared, the clouds in the sky suddenly parted.

Where the clouds and mist parted, a new sun was suddenly hanging in the sky.

Chen Lingxi's pupils contracted slightly, her heart pounding like a drum.

This small sun is different from the three large suns hanging high in the sky.

When the sun shines, an ancient and ancient aura emerges.

Profound Subtlety aura flowed out from it, landing on the Sun-Awakening Upper Peak, but no one knew what kind of changes it would cause to the mountain.

Chen Lingxi was amazed...

"On the Sun-Awakening Upper Peak, there is actually a complete Cauldron Vessel hanging high."

"It must be Cauldron Vessel refined by that Peak Master."

His eyes flashed. "The master of the upper peak cultivates by wielding the cauldron... This Dragon-Offering Sect is truly extraordinary."

P. S.: I'm working late today, so I need to ask for leave from everyone. There will only be one chapter left.
