Chapter 489: Chapter 489, Eighth Layer
Crack!
The sound of a barrier breaking echoed, as Chu Ming’s flesh particles disintegrated in an instant and then recombined just as quickly, producing a powerful force.
Boom!
The Eighth Layer!
Powerful desolate power, red as a spider web, connected Chu Ming’s flesh particles, forming a whole. Chu Ming inspected his body internally; his blood became exceptionally viscous, and simultaneously, his physical strength rapidly increased.
Two hundred seventy-three Dragon Power!
Two hundred seventy-four Dragon Power!
...
Three hundred Dragon Power!
In just a moment, Chu Ming’s physical strength had broken through to three hundred Dragon Power. The momentum of his strength increase still showed no signs of stopping, only slowly diminishing when he reached three hundred twenty-one Dragon Power.
Hoo!
Chu Ming gently exhaled a breath of impure air, forming the shape of a dragon and tiger in the air. His eyes suddenly opened wide, shooting out two beams of light resembling lightning, chaotically zigzagging in the void, immensely terrifying.
He lightly clenched his fist, muscles bulging slightly, powerful strength flowing through Chu Ming’s arms, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes. Breaking through the Eighth Layer of the Primordial Body Refining Technique, his body refining power had already surpassed his Sword Dao strength, likely able to rival the Late Stage Ninth Layer of the Guiyuan Realm. Which is stronger could only be determined through a battle.
After stopping the refining of the Five-tailed Black Cat Demon’s Blood Pearl, Chu Ming started cultivating the Spiritual Profound Undying Needle, waves of piercing pain emanating from the Sea of Souls, plunging Chu Ming into deep cultivation.
...
For martial artists, time always passes very quickly, and seven days flew by in an instant.
During these seven days, the movements of the Chu Family and Cyan Yang Sect did not escape the notice of others. Amidst the confusion, a piece of monumental news spread throughout the Great Yan Kingdom: the Chu Family and Cyan Yang Sect were relocating out of the Great Yan Kingdom. Coupled with the recent news of Chu Ming’s return, people dared to speculate that the Chu Family and Cyan Yang Sect might be moving to the Celestial Travel Sect?
In the Chu Family’s cultivation room, on the morning of the seventh day, Chu Ming finished his cultivation early and left the Chu Family, flying towards Snow Peak, preparing to request Grand Elder Kong Qianren and the other four Inner Sect Elders for assistance.
"I knew you would come these days!"
As soon as Chu Ming arrived at Snow Peak, Grand Elder Kong Qianren walked out of the palace with a smile; following him were four Inner Sect Elders.
"This time I must trouble the five Elders,"
Chu Ming respectfully said, cupping his fists.
"The tasks assigned by the ancestors, we naturally must complete with all our strength."
Grand Elder Kong Qianren smiled broadly. Today’s Snow Peak was different from before. Before Chu Ming undertook the role of Inspector for the Ten Kingdoms, Snow Peak was still the center of the Ten Kingdoms but somewhat lacked in substance. Since Chu Ming eradicated the demonic organizations within the Ten Kingdoms, Snow Peak’s status had ascended to a sacred position.
Swoosh!
Grand Elder Kong Qianren, along with four Inner Sect Elders, accompanied Chu Ming to the Chu Family. Although Grand Elder Kong Qianren’s Great Power of Transcendence could tear through space with ease, the number of Chu Family and Cyan Yang Sect members far surpassed his capacity.
Thus, the escort had to be by flight. Fortunately, even without tearing space, Grand Elder Kong Qianren’s speed was exceptionally fast, far surpassing ordinary Guiyuan Realm experts.
A grand procession traveled for a day, finally reaching Celestial Travel Sect. Feeling the surroundings’ spiritual power, three to four times denser than in the Great Yan Kingdom, excitement gleamed in everyone’s eyes.
"The spiritual power here is incredibly dense. I have a feeling that with cultivation in this place, it won’t take three days for me to break through my current realm."
One of the Chu Family’s Martial Arts Coaches excitedly murmured to himself.
"The journey indeed felt vast and majestic. My former self was truly like a frog at the bottom of a well."
Most members of the Chu Family and Cyan Yang Sect had never left the Great Yan Kingdom, only residing in a secluded corner. The scenery along the way greatly expanded their horizons.
"Alright, up ahead is Celestial Travel Sect!"
At the front of the group, Grand Elder Kong Qianren suddenly halted and shouted back to the others.
Buzz!
A disciple dressed in Celestial Travel Sect attire emerged from the void, displaying respect, "Greetings to all Elders!"
"Hmm!"
Grand Elder Kong Qianren slightly nodded. The Celestial Travel Sect disciple glanced in astonishment at the vast crowd, then lightly waved his arm. The space trembled, and a gap appeared in the Sect Protection Array.
"Go!"
The group entered Celestial Travel Sect. Grand Elder Kong Qianren instructed an Inner Sect Elder to guide Chu Ming and others, while he went separately to report at Celestial Hall.
"The Qianyang Mountain Range is just ahead!"
The Inner Sect Elder spoke kindly, pointing to the small mountains in the distance. Chu Ming looked ahead: the Qianyang Mountain Range stretched 30-40 miles, with uneven terrain. The spiritual power here was equally rich compared to other places and abundant in heavenly treasures; it was a treasure trove within Celestial Travel Sect.
There were no houses on the Qianyang Mountain Range, but fortunately, there were plenty of trees around. People could cut them to build wooden huts. After settling everyone in the Qianyang Mountain Range, Chu Ming turned and left, returning to his courtyard to continue in seclusion.
The Spiritual Profound Undying Needle was a Four-star Soul Secret Technique able to refine a thousand Spiritual Profound Needles. Through Chu Ming’s efforts, he had already crafted over six hundred needles in his Sea of Souls, nearing perfection.
Moreover, in recent days, he had been contemplating and deducing the Twelfth Layer of the Pure Essence Sword Qi Technique. If he deduced the Pure Essence Sword Qi Technique to the Twelfth Layer, while he may not defeat invincible Guiyuan Realm experts, he could still spar with them.
However, deducing the Twelfth Layer of the Pure Essence Sword Qi Technique was evidently no easy task; Chu Ming had no clues at all.
Time quietly passed, and half a month flew by. Since the Chu Family and Cyan Yang Sect moved to Celestial Travel Sect, they enthusiastically began constructing houses. Within these fifteen days, throngs of wooden huts had appeared in the Qianyang Mountain Range.
Just as Chu Ming delved into deep cultivation, the sound of knocking woke him, making him aware that the sect must have urgent matters, otherwise they wouldn’t interrupt his cultivation.
Creak!
Chu Ming gently opened the courtyard door. A Celestial Travel Sect steward stood respectfully not far from the door.
"Brother Chu, the Sect Leader asks for you."
The Celestial Travel Sect steward spoke respectfully, cupping his fists.
"Lead the way!"
Chu Ming nodded calmly, realizing that Sect Leader Yan Nanxing likely summoned him due to the appearance of the Life and Death Tower. Since the Tea Ceremony ended, he had noticed the slow increase in spiritual power in the air. The current spiritual power density in Celestial Realm had nearly doubled.
