Chapter 39: A Step Towards Becoming an Celestial Master
Chapter 39: A Step Towards Becoming an Celestial Master
Taking half a step into the Celestial Phenomenon Realm...
The nine deputy leaders below were startled.
Transcending the limits of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm was not exclusive to the Celestial Masters of the Celestial Master's Mansion.
Aside from the Celestial Masters, there were still a very small number of other ancient factions that could surpass the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, even if it was just by a small or large margin.
But those who achieved this level were extremely rare.
Had their leader reached this stage as well?
"Hmph, if I had been able to completely absorb the legacy of the Primordial Demon Sect, it wouldn't have just been half a step," the Demon Master said, glancing at his countless followers below. He couldn't help but recall his experiences in the legacy site of the Primordial Demon Sect.
It was a close call, a life-and-death situation, but he had gained a great opportunity.
And he could only enter that place once; even if he wanted to enter again, it was impossible, and he couldn't even locate the corresponding area.
As time passed...
The final battle between the Demon Sect and the righteous forces, including the Celestial Master's Mansion, drew nearer.
Half a year later...
At the foot of Dragon-Tiger Mountain...
The Demon Master led thousands of demons, gathering their forces.
The Celestial Master's Mansion didn't back down either, as all the Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts emerged to face the Demon Sect.
"Hahahahaha!"
"Sage Qing Cang, do you think that I retreated out of fear last time?" The Demon Master asked arrogantly, his terrifying demonic aura sweeping all directions.
Across from him, Sage Qing Cang remained calm and unaffected.
"You're but a remnant of the Primordial Demon Sect. Weren't you hunted by our Celestial Masters for generations?" Sage Qing Cang said indifferently.
"So what?"
"Your Celestial Master's Mansion hasn't produced a Celestial Master in five hundred years."
"This world will eventually belong to my Primordial Demon Sect."
The Demon Master stopped pretending and unleashed an even denser aura.
Hearing this, Sage Qing Cang sighed inwardly.
If Lin Yuan hadn't taken a wrong turn, the Celestial Master's Mansion might have been able to produce another Celestial Master.
But it wouldn't have been of much use in the current situation; even a Celestial Master would need time to grow stronger.
According to the cultivation speed of the previous Celestial Masters, it would take at least fifty years to become a Celestial Master.
By the time the Celestial Masters of the Celestial Master's Mansion descended from Dragon-Tiger Mountain, they were mostly already in their sixties or seventies.
Even if Lin Yuan had a smooth journey without any setbacks, he wouldn't become a Celestial Master until fifty years later.
"Today, I shall let you, Sage Qing Cang, witness my true power."
Seeing that Sage Qing Cang remained silent, the Demon Master laughed and raised his right hand, gently tapping downward.
Rumble! A terrifying aura pressed down from all directions.
Without hesitation, Sage Qing Cang drew his sword.
Buzz!!! An extremely sharp sword qi burst forth, piercing through the surrounding demonic aura and slashing towards the Demon Master.
"The Celestial Master's Sword?"
"Not bad. With your strength, by drawing upon the power of the Celestial Master's Sword and the residual power of the Celestial Masters within it, you can indeed unleash power close to mine."
The Demon Master commented casually.
As the leader of this generation of the Celestial Master's Mansion, Sage Qing Cang was naturally cultivated as a Celestial Phenomenon Realm seedling from a young age. He had also entered the Sword Tomb and was chosen by one of the Celestial Master's Swords.
Although the Celestial Master's Sword was far inferior to the True Martial Sword, which contained the fundamental powers of the moon and sun, it had been nurtured by generations of Celestial Masters, leaving behind some of their power.
When a Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert of the Celestial Master's Mansion fully stimulated it, they could definitely arouse the profound power within the sword.
"What a pity."
"Even the Celestial Master's Sword is but an external object. Even if you can wield its power, how long can you maintain it?"
The Demon Master sneered.
"Even if all the Celestial Phenomenon Realm cultivators of the Celestial Master's Mansion joined forces, holding a Celestial Master's Sword in their hands, the most they could do is suppress me. Eventually, when your strength is exhausted..."
The Demon Master's eyes turned icy cold.
In truth, it was impossible for all the Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts from the Celestial Master's Mansion to truly join hands to kill the Demon Master alongside Sage Qing Cang; their lack of numbers allowed the demonic Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts to act without restraint.
"Die!"
The Demon Master took a step forward, and a terrifying, frenzied demonic aura enveloped everything.
"Not good!"
Sage Qing Cang's expression changed.
At the peak of Dragon-Tiger Mountain Contrary to the solemn and oppressive atmosphere at the foot of the mountain, the peak was bathed in the rising sun's warmth.
Lin Yuan still sat atop the giant stone, his mind clear and unperturbed.
"Peak Brother."
Clearing his throat, Qing Ping arrived, somehow having climbed up unnoticed.
"The Master asked me to tell you to leave Dragon-Tiger Mountain through the secret passage right now." Qing Ping delivered his message in a hurry.
Facing the decisive battle against the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, Sage Qing Cang wasn't completely confident in their victory.
To ensure the continuation of the Celestial Master's Mansion's legacy, Lin Yuan, the disciple acknowledged by the True Martial Spirit Pendant, had to leave.
In this way, even if the worst-case scenario occurred, the lineage of the Celestial Master's Mansion would not be completely severed.
As long as the True Martial Spirit Pendant didn't fall into the hands of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, the possibility of a new Celestial Master emerging in the future would remain.
Even if it took a hundred or a thousand years, as long as a new Celestial Master appeared, the lineage of the Celestial Master's Mansion could be restored.
"Peak Brother?"
Qing Ping called out softly again when Lin Yuan didn't respond.
However, Lin Yuan, with his back turned, remained oblivious, his eyes half-closed as if his soul had left his body and was wandering in the heavens.
"Peak Brother?"
Just as Qing Ping wondered if Lin Yuan had fallen asleep and was about to go over and nudge him.
Lin Yuan, seated on the boulder, suddenly opened his eyes.
[Your comprehension defies the heavens. Through day and night of diligent cultivation, you have comprehended the method of Yin-Yang Fusion and used it to transcend the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.]
Lin Yuan's eyes were clear and focused.
"So that's how it is."
Lin Yuan stood up, rising from the giant stone.
At that moment, in his eyes, the world was divided into yin and yang, the two forces intertwining and merging, represented by black and white, and the yin-yang fish.
"Peak Brother?"
Qing Ping's eyes widened as he felt that the current Peak Brother was somehow different from before.
"Wait a moment."
Lin Yuan smiled faintly and reached out, grasping at the empty air.
Suddenly, a pendant appeared, hanging in the air above Lin Yuan's palm.
Lin Yuan gently caressed the pendant and said softly, "You should go now."
Whoosh! The pendant shot into the sky and flew towards the foot of Dragon-Tiger Mountain.
At the foot of Dragon-Tiger Mountain Sage Qing Cang was engaged in a fierce battle with the Demon Master.
Suddenly, the Demon Master seemed to sense something, his expression changing drastically as he abruptly retreated.
A ancient sword descended from the heavens, its tip piercing the spot where the Demon Master had been standing just a moment ago.
The sword was only three feet long, yet it exuded a profound aura, blotting out the sky and covering the earth as if it embodied the might of Dragon-Tiger Mountain itself.
One could vaguely make out the words 'True Martial' engraved on the sword's sheath.
"The True Martial Sword?"
The Demon Master's face turned solemn as he looked up at the direction from which the sword had come.
It had come from the peak of Dragon-Tiger Mountain.
At the peak of Dragon-Tiger Mountain Lin Yuan exhaled slowly and then took a light step forward.
This single step spanned a hundred feet, carrying him beyond the boundaries of Dragon-Tiger Mountain.
The clouds and mist at the peak of Dragon-Tiger Mountain rolled and surged beneath Lin Yuan's feet as he walked through them.
Step by step, he descended the mountain.
Qing Ping stared at the incredible sight before him, his eyes reddening as he whispered, "Uncle Qing Cang, wake up and take a look. Peak Brother has taken a step towards becoming a Celestial Master."
