The silhouette that appeared in the stone chamber was entirely enveloped in hazy radiance. No matter how hard one tried to discern, its appearance remained unclear—only a pair of dazzling bright eyes, like blazing suns crossing the skies, or teors crashing to earth!
Though it was rely a projection, its aura was akin to a monarch descending upon the mortal world, instilling fear into the hearts of others, compelling them to kneel instinctively!
Sun Yingyang lowered his head even further, his body trembling slightly.
The majestic figure stood with hands behind his back, as if towering above the nine heavens, overlooking all beings. He glanced at Sun Yingyang and spoke:
"So it’s you. Years ago, this Venerable granted you the Soul Smoke to monitor the Luo Family. Back then, I made it clear that unless it was a matter of utmost importance, the Soul Smoke was not to be ignited to disturb . Do you recall?"
Sun Yingyang trembled and replied, "I’ve always rembered! This ti, contacting the Venerable is indeed a matter of great importance!"
ƒгeeweɓn૦vel
"What is it?" The figure’s voice was indifferent.
Sun Yingyang hurriedly said, "It concerns Luo Cheng, of the Ji family lineage in Qishan City..."
"Hm!"
Before Sun Yingyang could finish his sentence, a cold snort erupted like thunder, causing the entire stone chamber to shake.
Staring at Sun Yingyang, the figure’s eyes radiated divine light, its scornful voice blooming like spring blossoms:
"A worthless man dares claim to bear the Ji family lineage?"
Just this cold snort alone made Sun Yingyang’s blood churn, nearly causing him to spit blood. He urgently exclaid:
"Venerable, please calm your anger! It was a slip of the tongue!"
Appearing sowhat impatient, the figure fixed a sharp gaze on Sun Yingyang and said, "A piece of trash with an awakened Wasted Martial Soul—a creature as insignificant as an ant—and yet you ignited the Soul Smoke for him. Speak! What is the matter? Without a valid reason, you know the consequences."
Beads of cold sweat surfaced on Sun Yingyang’s forehead as he regretted contacting the other party. Taking a deep breath, he said:
"Reporting to the Venerable, four months ago I t Luo Cheng for the first ti—back then he had just broken through to the Transcendence Realm. Yesterday when I saw him again, he already possessed the power to rival a Tongxuan Realm martial artist!"
"Oh?"
The figure’s gaze revealed a hint of surprise.
Sun Yingyang added, "Not only that, he has even mastered the Golden Body Realm of the Seventh Layer of the Transcendence Realm!"
Upon hearing this, divine light flashed in the figure’s eyes, and the radiant glow around him surged, betraying restless emotions.
"Golden Body Realm... Is this true?"
Sun Yingyang responded respectfully, "How would I dare deceive the Venerable?"
"A piece of trash with an awakened Wasted Martial Soul could achieve the Golden Body Realm of the Seventh Layer of the Transcendence Realm..."
The divine brilliance in the figure’s gaze radiated so intensely it was impossible to look directly at it.
After a mont of contemplation, the figure asked Sun Yingyang, "What are your thoughts on this matter?"
Sun Yingyang hesitated briefly before replying, "It’s impossible for him to possess such potential on his own! There must be sothing unusual at play—perhaps soone is secretly aiding him... I’ve heard that during the awakening of his Martial Soul, Luo Cheng openly declared he would challenge the Ji family’s Divine Son. Given this concerns the honor of the Ji family, I decided to contact the Venerable."
"A worthless man born of re mortals doesn’t deserve to be compared to Yuan Hao. The matter of the challenge is nothing more than a joke."
Sneering disdainfully, the figure added, "You claim soone might be aiding him in secret—are you suggesting that person is from my Ji family?"
Sun Yingyang did not answer verbally, but his silence implied agreent.
For a man with an awakened Wasted Martial Soul to rise to such heights in only a few months would require a staggering amount of resources!
The insignificant Luo Family of Qishan City could never afford such expenditures.
Not to ntion achieving mastery of the Golden Body Realm.
This was no longer rely a matter of resources.
It would necessitate defying the heavens!
Throughout the entire Great Yue Dynasty, no faction had accomplished this feat.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been a single person in the past century to attain the Golden Body Realm.
Upon hearing Sun Yingyang’s words, the figure’s gaze shifted subtly, and he murmured:
"Ever since Luo Cheng awakened his Wasted Martial Soul, even Elder Yaoguang, who was most inclined to support him, changed her stance and agreed to strip him of his family na and exile him completely. No one would willingly waste any effort on a piece of trash..."
"However, what you said is not without rit. This matter will be investigated by soone under this Venerable’s command."
Sun Yingyang added, "Venerable, there’s one more thing."
"Speak!"
"Should we continue monitoring the Luo Family?"
"The previous order to monitor the Luo Family was to prevent their father and son from causing unnecessary trouble for the Ji family. Now, with one cripple and the other worthless, they’ll never leave the Yunlan Domain Group in their lifeti. Naturally, no further monitoring is necessary."
Sun Yingyang’s gaze flickered, and he asked, "What if both were to die?"
The figure radiated divine brilliance, resembling a deity, as he coldly said:
"This Venerable has already declared: Luo Cheng has been stripped of his family na. From this mont onward, he has no connection to my Ji family!"
"Enough. This matter ends here. Do not ignite the Soul Smoke of this Venerable again in the future!"
The reverberation of divine might jolted Sun Yingyang’s mind, leaving his head buzzing.
When he regained his senses, the stone chamber had returned to normal—only half-burned Soul Smoke remained inside the purple-gold furnace.
Everything that had happened felt like an illusion!
Standing up, Sun Yingyang sneered coldly, his gaze sinister:
"Luo Hong, may you and your son take care of yourselves! Otherwise, don’t expect to be so courteous in the future!"
Because of the Ji family’s involvent, Sun Yingyang had always acted cautiously.
Now, there was no need for such restraint.
Xuanyuan Sect, Green Willow Peak!
After parting ways with Yu Yue and the others, Luo Cheng returned directly to his residence.
He stepped into the Practice Field and casually threw a punch toward a half-shattered Training Post.
Boom!
With a thunderous explosion, the Training Post disintegrated, and its fragnts scattered across the ground.
"Hmm, as expected, my strength has improved again—at least to around 170,000 pounds!"
Looking at the shattered Training Post, Luo Cheng’s eyes glead brightly.
During his battle with Su Lan and the others, Luo Cheng had already noticed that his flesh, bones, and tendons were becoming increasingly resilient, and his physical strength was steadily growing. By the end, a single punch had allowed him to defeat Jiang Xinglie, who had broken through to the Tongxuan Realm!
Such an outco didn’t surprise Luo Cheng.
Two half-step Tongxuan martial artists, over twenty Transcendence Realm masters’ Martial Soul Essence, and several dozen Spirit Pills—how could all this energy and power be fully refined in just one day!
These residual energies had been triggered during combat, leading to the rapid increase in his strength.
Luo Cheng estimated that his physical strength now surpassed that of a late-stage Tongxuan Realm martial artist!
"Hmm? The True Dragon Technique is about to break through to the Seventh Layer!"
Closing his eyes to examine internally, Luo Cheng discovered with astonishnt that the Dragon Energy, resembling a scaled serpent, had undergone a new transformation.
Four small protrusions had ford on the Dragon Energy’s body, as if sothing was ready to erge!
The True Dragon Technique consisted of nine layers, each corresponding to a unique transformation of the Dragon Energy—this was undoubtedly a precursor to breaking through!
"Excellent. Once the True Dragon Technique reaches the Seventh Layer, my physical strength will rise further! By then, I’ll have at least a fifty percent chance of defeating Yan Qi! And if I ascend to the Tongxuan Realm..."
Smirking coldly, Luo Cheng imdiately moved to the center of the Practice Field, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and focused entirely on breaking through the Seventh Layer of the True Dragon Technique!
Ti slowly passed.
Roar!
Half a day later, accompanied by an illusory dragon roar, mystical fluctuations erupted from within Luo Cheng, and an incomprehensible majesty swept across the entirety of Green Willow Peak in an instant!
