Entering the Forbidden Domain

Inside Star Pavilion, Xiao Yun was about to leave when something suddenly occurred to him. As he reached the entrance, he looked up at the starry sky above and said, "The next time I come, you won't need to choose for me. Just bring out the strongest one directly."

Hearing this, everyone stared at him blankly. Was he threatening Star Pavilion?

That was simply outrageous!

But what left everyone even more dumbfounded was that, within the starry sky overhead, they actually saw a huge character formed from countless stars—Fine!

At once, everyone was speechless. This was the first time they had heard of someone daring to threaten Star Pavilion—and actually succeeding.

Xiao Yun nodded in satisfaction. Having harvested three more chances for enlightenment, he happily walked out of Star Pavilion.

Of course, Xiao Yun was still planning to show off.

As he walked out, he muttered to himself, "I should have entered the forbidden domain. I'll go out and test it..."

As soon as Xiao Yun finished speaking, everyone inside Star Pavilion was jolted. They immediately rushed out, intending to watch Xiao Yun's "performance."

They were also curious about just how far Xiao Yun's strength could reach after mastering a Super Combat Technique.

The mad rush of people pouring out also aroused the curiosity of those outside Star Pavilion. Once they heard the explanation, the entire square was thrown into an uproar.

Soon afterward, the crowd surged over in a frenzy, surrounding the stone stele beside Star Pavilion several layers deep.

Standing beneath the stone stele, Xiao Yun's eyes flashed sharply. He unleashed the Nine-Turn Tyrant Fist and slammed a savage punch at the stele before him.

As he threw that punch, nine phantom fists appeared around Xiao Yun's arm, then all converged into his fist, erupting with dazzling golden light.

"Rumble!"

A deafening boom rang out.

When Xiao Yun threw that punch, the ground beneath his feet trembled. His immense power was like an erupting volcano, and explosions continuously cracked through the air.

The stone stele struck by Xiao Yun's fist released an even more dazzling golden radiance, like a blazing sun burning in the night. It lit up the darkness, making even the stars pale in comparison.

"I wonder how high it'll reach?"

"It'll definitely surpass one hundred thousand!"

"The forbidden domain—every hundred thousand beyond the limit counts as one forbidden level!"

Everyone around stared intently at the stone stele. Above Star Pavilion, Taishang elders and elders alike fixed their gazes upon it.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a string of numbers finally appeared on the stone stele!

"Two hundred thousand!"

Such a number was truly earth-shaking, drawing cries of shock from all around.

"He really entered the forbidden domain!"

"This is the first forbidden level. Only a Holy Son can reach this step. It can be said that Xiao Yun is already qualified to become a Holy Son."

"Xiao Yun was originally a Divine Son. He merely gave up the title voluntarily. With his talent, becoming a Holy Son was only natural."

"Perhaps one day, he will ascend to the position of Divine Son once more."

The crowd exclaimed in amazement.

Xiao Yun also revealed a pleased expression. Two hundred thousand jin of strength—exactly double. This should count as entering the first forbidden level.

I wonder whether mastering a second Super Combat Technique will add another hundred thousand jin of strength, Xiao Yun thought to himself.

However, he did not intend to continue cultivating Super Combat Techniques here. After all, if he showed off too much, people might think he was a monster. What if some expert took an interest in him and sliced him apart for research?

Xiao Yun decided it would be better to return and test himself after some time. In any case, he had already accumulated enough chances for enlightenment. There was no rush to show off for now.

With that, Xiao Yun checked his system.

Epiphany System.

Function: Grants the host enlightenment.

Chances for enlightenment: 24 (silently recite it in your heart to use it at any time).

Tasks:

1: Latest task (about to refresh).

2: Unlimited task (cause people nearby to cry out in shock and create a sensation to receive three chances for enlightenment as a reward.)

After checking it, Xiao Yun secretly laughed. "This system might as well be renamed the Showing-Off System."

"Ha ha, disciple, it's time for us to head back!" Just as Xiao Yun was checking the system, Di Tian descended from the sky. He then took Xiao Yun, Lin Xiaoya, Uncle Fu, and the others back to Imperial Peak.

Although they had left, Xiao Yun's string of exploits at Star Pavilion spread from person to person and quickly swept through the entire Chaos Holy Land.

At once, Xiao Yun's name resounded throughout the Chaos Holy Land once again.

This time, no one dared question Xiao Yun's talent anymore. Nor did they regard his abandonment of the Divine Son title as the act of a fool. Instead, they felt that he possessed courage and determination, and they admired him greatly.

Imperial Peak, Heavenly Hall.

Uncle Fu was roasting a massive spirit beast. Its golden oil sizzled and gave off an enticing fragrance, making Xiao Yun and Lin Xiaoya drool beside him.

They had not yet reached the stage of abstaining from food, so they still needed to eat.

Moreover, Xiao Yun felt extremely hungry, as if he could devour ten cows.

Xiao Yun looked at Di Tian and asked curiously, "Master, why has my appetite increased along with my strength?"

Di Tian smiled. "An increase in strength means your physical body has grown stronger, so you need to absorb more nutrients. You now possess two hundred thousand jin of strength, comparable to twenty elephants. Naturally, your appetite should be equal to that of twenty elephants."

Xiao Yun wore a bitter smile. "Doesn't that make me a bottomless pit?"

"It's good that you can eat. It means your physical body is growing stronger and stronger," Di Tian said unconcernedly.

Uncle Fu, who was roasting the beast nearby, said with a smile, "Rest assured, Young Master. You won't need to eat that much ordinary food. The spirit beasts here contain vast amounts of energy. Eating one a day will be enough for you."

Looking at the spirit beast before him, which was as large as a small mountain, Xiao Yun asked helplessly, "Master, what realm must cultivators reach before they can abstain from food?"

He did not want to remain a bottomless pit!

Di Tian said with a smile, "To abstain from food, you must reach the fourth realm of cultivation—the Cave Heaven Realm.

"Once you reach that realm, you can open a cave heaven world and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth every moment. That will be enough to nourish your powerful physical body, and you will no longer need to draw nutrients from food."

Xiao Yun sighed in relief. It was only the fourth realm; for him, it should not be too difficult.

In truth, he had already accumulated twenty-four chances for enlightenment. If he wished, breaking through the Qi Gathering Realm and entering the third realm, the Divine Bridge Realm, would be easy.

However, Xiao Yun wanted to be like that Chaos Great Emperor and possess one million jin of strength in the Body Refining Realm, reaching the true limit of that realm.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yun once again asked Di Tian, "Master, when I cultivated a Super Combat Technique in Star Pavilion earlier, my strength increased by one hundred thousand jin.

"Then if I master another eight Super Combat Techniques, will I gain another eight hundred thousand jin of strength and reach the limit of one million jin?"

Lin Xiaoya stared blankly at Xiao Yun, her large, jet-black eyes filled with brilliant light.

As expected of her senior brother. He actually wanted to master nine Super Combat Techniques. Such talent was truly unprecedented and would never be seen again.

Di Tian and Uncle Fu also looked at Xiao Yun speechlessly.

He wanted to cultivate another eight Super Combat Techniques? Did he think Super Combat Techniques were that easy to cultivate?

Well, for Xiao Yun, they really were easy.

After all, they had personally witnessed Xiao Yun at Star Pavilion master a Super Combat Technique to perfection in only a short while.

Thinking of that, the two exchanged glances and both smiled bitterly.

Then Di Tian looked at Xiao Yun, shook his head, and sighed. "Disciple, relying solely on cultivating Super Combat Techniques will not allow your strength to reach one million jin, because Super Combat Techniques can only transform the physical body three times.

"In other words, by cultivating Super Combat Techniques, you can increase your strength by at most another two hundred thousand jin. No matter how many more Super Combat Techniques you cultivate afterward, your strength will no longer increase."
