Extreme Realm Shows Its Might

Beside Star Pavilion, golden light burst forth from the stone stele. Rich golden radiance bathed the entire square, turning heaven and earth dazzlingly bright.

Everyone stared at the scene before them in shock, crying out and sucking in sharp breaths.

During the test, the appearance of golden light meant that one had entered the Body Refining extreme realm.

Sure enough!

As the golden light gradually faded, a breathtaking number appeared on the stone stele—one hundred thousand!

"One hundred thousand jin of strength—it truly is the Body Refining extreme realm!"

"My heavens, Xiao Yun has only just entered Foundation Establishment, yet he has already reached the Body Refining extreme realm. This is absolutely the talent of a Holy Son."

"What Holy Son? He is a Divine Son. He merely chose to give up that status willingly."

"As expected of an unparalleled genius who made the Chaos Bell ring nine times."

The onlookers cried out in astonishment. When they looked at Xiao Yun now, not a trace of mockery remained in their eyes—only amazement and shock.

Reaching the Body Refining extreme realm immediately after Foundation Establishment—such talent was rare even within Chaos Holy Land. Only a few Holy Sons could achieve it.

Therefore, Xiao Yun's talent was beyond doubt. No one questioned it any longer.

"Damn it, how could this happen?" Not far away, Zhu Ping looked up at the shocking number on the stone stele, his face utterly grim as disbelief filled his heart.

Beside him, Chu Jingxiao also stared blankly at the number on the stele. He had merely been teasing Xiao Yun before, but he had never expected Xiao Yun to truly reach the extreme realm in a single day. To him, it was the greatest possible irony.

"Hee hee hee, I knew Senior Brother was the best!"

When Lin Xiaoya saw the number on the stone stele, she immediately cheered excitedly. One hand on her hip and the other pointing at Zhu Ping and Chu Jingxiao, she mocked, "You dogs looked down on people! You even dared accuse my Senior Brother of cheating. Now you have seen how formidable he is, haven't you?"

"Let's go!" Chu Jingxiao's face flushed red. Feeling the gazes around him turn his way, he only wanted to find a hole in the ground and crawl into it. He truly had no face left to show anyone.

Zhu Ping also slunk away after Chu Jingxiao.

"Hahaha, Senior Brother, look how they fled with their tails between their legs!" Lin Xiaoya felt an indescribable satisfaction in her heart. Hugging Xiao Yun's arm, she shook it excitedly.

Xiao Yun smiled faintly. He was currently checking his system. Just now, he had successfully drawn gasps from the people around him and caused a sensation, which counted as completing the system's mission. He had gained three opportunities for enlightenment.

At this moment, he had seven opportunities for enlightenment in total.

Still not enough. Cultivating the Chaos Scripture requires far too many opportunities for enlightenment. I need to keep accumulating them.

Fortunately, he would not lack missions from now on. He only needed to keep showing off.

Every time he showed off, he could gain three opportunities for enlightenment. It was simply too satisfying.

But that means I can no longer cultivate quietly. I need to keep finding chances to show off!

The purpose of showing off was to make people gasp in amazement at you. That naturally made quiet cultivation impossible; he had to remain at the crest of the cultivation world's wave.

Fortunately, Xiao Yun did not mind this. After all, he had made the Chaos Bell ring nine times and had long since become famous throughout Chaos Holy Land. Even if he wanted to keep a low profile, he could not.

Next, I need to break through the extreme realm as soon as possible and enter the forbidden domain. That should make them gasp again! Xiao Yun was already considering how to show off next. After all, as long as he showed off, he could gain opportunities for enlightenment. He had no choice but to do so!

"Senior Brother, it's our turn. Hurry and enter Star Pavilion to choose a combat technique!" Lin Xiaoya's voice suddenly came from beside him.

Xiao Yun raised his head and looked at the line ahead, only to find that they had already reached the entrance of Star Pavilion.

The gates of Star Pavilion were enormous and could accommodate more than ten people at once, so the line moved quickly.

Without further delay, Xiao Yun entered Star Pavilion with Lin Xiaoya.

"Wah..."

The moment she entered Star Pavilion, Lin Xiaoya cried out in surprise.

Xiao Yun was also deeply shaken.

Star Pavilion contained a universe within itself. Stars glittered overhead, while towering pillars rose around them into the heavens. It was as though they stood at the edge of the cosmos, a truly magnificent sight.

Even more astonishingly, the stars overhead were constantly moving. Occasionally, one would fall and land in someone's hand nearby, revealing an ancient book.

"Close your eyes, all of you. Guard your minds and wait for Star Pavilion to select combat techniques for you!" A booming voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

Xiao Yun knew it belonged to a Chaos Holy Land expert guarding Star Pavilion, so he quickly closed his eyes.

At this moment, Xiao Yun did not know that because he had revealed his Body Refining extreme realm cultivation, many Chaos Holy Land experts had already come to Star Pavilion to watch him.

Even Xiao Yun's master, Elder Taishang Di Tian, had come.

At this moment, an Elder Taishang looked at Di Tian across from him and said with a smile, "Di Tian, given Xiao Yun's talent, Star Pavilion should grant him a Super Combat Technique this time, shouldn't it?"

Di Tian smiled slightly. "It should. After all, he made the Chaos Bell ring nine times. Star Pavilion ought to rank him at the highest level."

"Hmph!" A cold snort came from not far away. A hazy figure sat cross-legged in the void, shrouded in a sea of mist and radiating a terrifying aura.

Di Tian glanced at the man and sneered. "Tian Yi, weren't you in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Heavenly Realm? Why have you emerged? Did you fail?"

Boom!

As soon as Di Tian finished speaking, the hazy figure erupted with a powerful aura, drawing cries of alarm from everyone present.

"He is half a step into the Heavenly Realm!"

"It seems Tian Yi is not far from entering the Heavenly Realm."

The Elder Taishangs and elders all exclaimed in admiration.

Di Tian's expression also turned grave.

The hazy figure called Tian Yi snorted coldly. "Di Tian, although your combat strength is astonishing, you will ultimately never set foot in the Heavenly Realm. In a hundred years, you will still be nothing more than a handful of yellow earth. Your disciple Xiao Yun is the same. No matter how peerless his talent may be, he will be no more than a shooting star in the end. In contrast, my disciple Chu Jingxiao will enter the Heavenly Realm as I have, and may even glimpse the Saint realm in the future."

Di Tian's face darkened, and he retorted sharply, "No matter what, you are my defeated opponent, and your disciple will also be my disciple's defeated opponent."

"A momentary defeat amounts to nothing. I will enter the Heavenly Realm and gain another thousand years of life, while you will turn to ashes. In the future, people will know only that Tian Yi is a Heavenly Realm expert. No one will remember you, Di Tian," Tian Yi said coldly.

Seeing them argue, the surrounding Elder Taishangs and elders hurriedly tried to persuade them. "Why must you two meet each other blade for blade? We are all from the same sect and should work together as one!"

Just then, within Star Pavilion below, a dim star fell toward Xiao Yun's hand.

Everyone noticed the scene and was instantly dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Th-this is a third-rate combat technique?" An elder stared blankly, his face full of disbelief. Xiao Yun was a monstrous genius who had made the Chaos Bell ring nine times—how could Star Pavilion grant him the lowest-grade combat technique?
