Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yun Yang’s mind consciously regained its clarity, a sudden epiphany that dawned within his heart. So, all that Dong Qitian did just now was to help him take one huge leap forward!

Although he might have rejected one of the conditions which was to have Dong Qitian help him raise his level by one, Dong Qitian still decided to call the shots by using a method that was incredibly dangerous and somewhat extreme. Using his own incredible strength and channeling it into immense pressure, he managed to induce an innate sense of danger in Yun Yang by releasing it and then retracting it instantly. Through pure survival instinct, Yun Yang managed to achieve his awakening in one sitting and had ascended to a whole new state.

He certainly meant well, but it was an incredibly dangerous method!

Yun Yang was originally already at the peak of Honor Level. He was one opportune enlightenment away from the awakening — just one trigger away.

Dong Qitian was well aware of that. If he wasn’t, he wouldn’t have come up with such terms.

This chanced enlightenment might sound easy, but to execute it was horribly difficult. Many had found themselves stuck at this point because they had missed this spontaneous trigger. Even upon death, they could not attain an even higher state of mind and relish the sensation of breaking through the divide between men and immortals!

This had always been a critical point for those practicing with mystical Qi and those who would like to ascend to Saint Level from Honor Level Four!

Just like the words themselves — it was the divide between man and immortals!

If you manage to cross it, you’re an immortal!

If one cannot step across it, they shall remain common men and doomed to not achieve any form of greatness in life!

Dong Qitian had used his monstrous cultivation base to forcefully pin him down, pressing onto Yun Yang to draw out all his potential and have him resist it vehemently.

Then, he immediately pulled back just to allow Yun Yang to attain the breakthrough himself!

A method like this was known to many, but those who could execute it successfully in this world was rare.

At this moment, Yun Yang could not be bothered with delivering his thanks and gratitude yet. He simply closed his eyes and dedicated his body and soul to cultivate the mystical Qi within himself, stabilizing its state — a process he dare not neglect in the slightest.

After a while, clusters and layers of purple mist rose from Yun Yang’s body. It hovered and rode along with the mountain breeze, never dissipating — an amazing sight indeed.

As Dong Qitian watched Yun Yang, his originally relieved gaze suddenly had an extra dose of a surprise to it!

“Purple mist? Why would it be purple mist? Isn’t it supposed to be white mist? Yun Yang, what’s going on?”

After a while, the purple mist finally dissipated.

Yun Yang exhaled, taking his time to answer the question. Though it was completely silent, there was a trace of a sovereign’s vibe lingering in the air.

He slowly stood up. “Many thanks!”

Yun Yang was not an idiot. He understood why Dong Qitian had employed this method during the moment he achieved the awakening!

A method like this could not be revealed prematurely. One only has one shot at it for it was horribly tough to replicate another attempt. Therefore, there was no need for another redundant verbosity other than this word of thanks!

Dong Qitian gave a fleeting smile. He wore a melancholic expression on his face as he replied, “You’re welcome. I only hope that if there comes a day where you’ll face some… hmm, tough opponents - you won’t end up like me.”

“The strength you have now is so much greater.”

Dong Qitian walked forward with crossed hands, his voice laced with desolation. “You will safeguard the things you would like to protect the most…”

“True, that.” Yun Yang could discern the meaning within Dong Qitian’s unsaid words; in this martial world, strength rules above all!

No matter how righteous, honorable, kind or honest you are, it all still depended on… strength. Justice could only be determined through strength.

“Strength!”

Dong Qitian sighed dolefully. “Strength…”

If I really had what it took, how did I end up being imprisoned in this belly of a mountain for four thousand and one hundred years?

“Elder Dong, before you were imprisoned that year, what level was your strength at?” Yun Yang asked, immensely curious.

Dong Qitian smiled ruefully. “I’ve already ended up in such a condition, why is there still a need to bring up the matter of strength?”

These words effectively ended the topic.

As they talked, they made their way towards the Residence of Nine Supremes. They met many people from Cangwu Union along the way, but they simply continued on their journey. uneventfully.

Yun Yang knew about the inside story, but he didn’t feel like riling up any form of drama, so he remained calm and indifferent as he passed; as for Dong Qitian, he couldn’t care less about the people he encountered at all.

That aside, they bumped into many people who were hunting for Raiders of All But God, but even they didn’t dare to cause trouble for them. Those who made it difficult for them were sent flying by Dong Qitian with a huge slap.

During the entire journey, Yun Yang did not see Dong Qitian come up with any other move.

It was always a slap…

… and another slap!

One smack was enough to send the victim flying through the air.

Slapping his way through, no matter what levels their cultivation bases were, they were dealt with by a single smack. It was clean, efficient, and void of any future repercussions.

From how Yun Yang perceived it, those people who were sent flying flew for at least a distance of ten miles. Whether or not they were dead or alive, Dong Qitian was not responsible for that. If they were dead, it was simply their misfortune. Those who were lucky enough to survive would understand the difference of levels between them — how would they dare cause trouble again?

An interesting combat technique like this was a real eye-opener to Yun Yang.

“What a professional! An expert whose levels far exceed my expectations!”

The Residence of Nine Supremes was in sight.

From a distance of about ten miles away, Dong Qitian could not stop marveling when he set sight on the daunting location where the Residence of Nine Supremes was located.

“Not bad, not bad at all! Your sect seems to be prospering. Everything else aside, this Hill Defense Formation is something I’ve never seen before. It harbors plenty of opportunities, its formations are sufficiently formidable yet disorderly in an intriguing manner, and the spiritual Qi is indescribably concentrated. For a sect that hasn’t obtained a Celestial Luck Banner, this is already considered pretty decent, high-level standards. How rare. How remarkable.”

“Furthermore, the geography of this place is excellent. The fact that it is easy to defend and hard to be attacked is secondary — with every peak standing tall like that, they could constantly respond and coordinate accordingly with the Hill Defence formation and render it a few times stronger. That’s truly magnificent.”

“It seems that your sect is run by truly competent individuals!”

“This place is rife with hidden talents.”

“You kept telling me that you’re desperately poor, saying that there are only a few poor sods in your sect — are you being modest, or do you just not want to expose your background?”

After some thorough scrutiny, Dong Qitian felt that this was no ordinary land.

“Though it might be a freshly established sect, the luck it is shrouded in is incredibly concentrated with a vibe that thrives over most others!”

“The Residence of Nine Supremes — since it has been named as such, I believe that this sect was founded by nine people - am I right?”

Dong Qitian continued to express his awe. “Are you the leader of the Residence of Nine Supremes? Then please tell me, who was it that helped you out? I really question my abilities after seeing all this. Even I would find it extremely difficult to pull this off, and now you have just made me feel very humbled.

Yun Yang let out a hollow chuckle. “It’s just a little business in progress, something not worth mentioning at all.”

Dong Qitian shook his head with force. “A little business in progress? Even what the Sacred Heart Palace could manage wasn’t as great as your place when they first started…”

Yun Yang burst out in a hearty laugh. “That’s too much praise. I guess we’re doing pretty alright…”

Dong Qitian stopped singing praises when he heard Yun Yang’s overly obvious glee from the compliments. “Tell me about the things you want me to do. However, let me make this clear — only ten. After the ten tasks have been completed, you and I are merely strangers on the road.”

“You still have to kill ten men, and don’t forget the resources until I reach Royal Saint Level Three!” replied Yun Yang.
