4485 A Breakthrough
“This Shen Lian is getting more and more reckless. It seems like it’s time for me to find an opportunity to give him a good beating,” Elder Mi Feng said from the side.
Jian Wushuang was thinking about the Grand Elder Pan Shan. He could not help but ask, “Elder Mi Feng, may I ask where this Elder Pan Shan came from?”
“Pan Shan?”
Elder Mi Feng faltered upon hearing this. After some thought, he muttered, “I don’t know much about Elder Pan Shan. Even though we are the five Grand Elders, Pan Shan has always been a loner and rarely interacts with us.”
“It’s said that tens of thousands of chaos cycles ago, the previous Sect Master brought him back from a remote forbidden area in the universe. Elder Pan Shan stayed in the God Refining Sect for tens of thousands of chaos cycles, never stepping out of the sect.”
“Speaking of which, the number of times that Elder Pan Shan has fought is extremely few. However, every time he strikes, it is a thunderous strike. I’m afraid that in terms of cultivation and strength, he is not below me.”
“Is that so?”
Jian Wushuang thought for a moment. He had a vague guess.
However, whether this guess was correct or not, it would take time to verify.
The two of them chatted as they flew in the air. Soon, they arrived at the top of the limestone mountain, outside the Corpse Cave that belonged to Jian Wushuang.
“Wushuang, the sect will soon be holding the Sect Disciple Competition. Do you want to participate? If you participate, I’ll leave a spot for you.”
Elder Mi Feng asked.
Jian Wushuang thought for a while and shook his head, “I don’t think so. I’ve had some Enlightenment recently and I’m afraid I’m about to break through. Sect Master has another task for me later. I want to use this time to improve my cultivation.”
“You’re about to break through?” Elder Mi Feng’s eyes immediately lit up when he heard this. He clapped his hands and laughed. “Good, good, good. Wushuang, it’s still more important for you to break through. As for the disciple competition, it’s just an opportunity to show off your talent. With your talent, why do you need the Sect Disciple Competition to prove yourself?”
Afraid that he would disturb Jian Wushuang’s cultivation, Elder Mi Feng left with a smile after giving him a few more instructions.
Jian Wushuang looked at Elder Mi Feng’s back and could not help but sigh.
Within the God Refining Sect, he had a rather good impression of Elder Mi Feng. However, the two of them were naturally hostile to each other. It was likely that they would face each other on the Offworld Battlefield.
Shaking his head, Jian Wushuang stopped thinking and strode into the Corpse Cave.
Today in the Sect Master’s hall, it was really dangerous. If there was even a slight mistake, he would have been killed.
If not for Elder Pan Shan’s sudden words at the last moment, he would have either lost his life at the hands of the God Refining Sect or been chased by them, his life and death hanging by a thread.
“Pan Shan… tens of thousands of chaos cycles ago, he was brought back by the previous Sect Master from a remote forbidden area… he rarely made a move… he’s reclusive…”
Jian Wushuang sat cross-legged on the stone bed, his eyes twinkling as he pondered over Elder Mi Feng’s description of Elder Pan Shan.
After a while, Jian Wushuang shook his head. Even if his guess was true, he would not rashly acknowledge Elder Pan Shan before he gave him a clear signal.
Thinking of this, Jian Wushuang slowly closed his eyes and stopped thinking. Then, he started to break through to Intermediate Supreme realm.
Bang bang bang!
In an instant, Jian Wushuang activated all the divine power in his body. Like boiling water, it started to circulate madly.
His divine body made a bone-cracking sound like frying beans.
“Absorb!”
Jian Wushuang opened his mouth and inhaled. Suddenly, his body seemed to have turned into a huge Whirlpool, swallowing a large amount of void power in one gulp. Then, it was transformed and rushed toward the barrier between the Primary and Intermediate Supreme realms like a rolling wave!
Bang!
A loud boom exploded in the Corpse Cave like a bolt of lightning on a clear day!
In an instant, the entire limestone mountain shook!
If Jian Wushuang had set up hundreds of restrictions to suppress it, the impact would have formed a mighty shock wave and blown the entire limestone mountain away!
“W-what’s wrong?”
“What happened?”
“Who’s breaking through?!”
All of a sudden, the disciples who were condensing divine corpses or cultivating in the numerous Corpse Caves in the limestone mountain changed their expressions and rushed out of the caves in a panic.
“The summit! It’s the Corpse Cave at the top of the mountain, someone is breaking through!”
“I remember that the seven Corpse Caves at the top of the mountain were all occupied by the chief disciples. I haven’t heard of any chief disciples breaking through recently.”
“No, no, it’s not the chief disciple, it’s Wushuang!”
“Wushuang? Is he the one who’s been causing a stir in the sect recently, the one with superior aptitude?”
“Not bad! Some time ago, Elder Mi Feng brought Wushuang back to the sect and gave him one of the Seven Great Corpse Caves on the mountain!”
Bang!
In Jian Wushuang’s Corpse Cave, there was another earth-shaking explosion!
In an instant, the limestone mountain shook even more violently.
“Hiss! I remember that Wushuang is only a 3-Star or 4-Star, right? Why is his breakthrough creating such a terrifying commotion?”
“Could this be a super talent? Even his breakthrough is different from ours. Do you want it to be more extraordinary?”
“From the looks of it, I’m afraid he has broken through a small cultivation realm!”
“Tsk tsk, I’m afraid that when Wushuang breaks through, those five head disciples won’t be able to sit still any longer!”
“I heard that Jian Wushuang had a short fight with Nu Xiong in the Library Pavilion some time ago. He defeated Nu Xiong with only one move! In my opinion, this matter should be spread by some busybodies and deliberately exaggerated. But from this, it can be seen that Wushuang’s strength is probably not much weaker than those first disciples!”
“Tsk tsk, this time’s Sect Disciple Competition is truly exciting. I wonder if Wushuang will participate and what rank he’ll get.”
A series of whispers came from the foot of the limestone mountain. Many disciples of the God Refining Sect looked at Jian Wushuang’s position in surprise and started to discuss.
The enchanting woman named Jiu Sha, who had an extremely graceful figure and curvaceous curves, was also there. She widened her beautiful eyes and looked in Jian Wushuang’s direction.
“This guy, how long has he been in the God Refining Sect? He’s already about to break through?”
…
Rumble!
At the peak of the God Refining Sect, the wind was blowing and the clouds were rolling. The strong wind was howling and there were flashes of lightning. The ghostly God Refining Sect was as bright as day.
Jian Wushuang sat cross-legged on the stone bed and released waves of powerful aura. In his divine body, waves of vast divine power were charging toward the last barrier between Primary Supreme and Intermediate Supreme!
In the past, when Jian Wushuang broke through, he was worried that his aura would leak out and be detected by the Almighties of the God Refining Sect.
However, now that he had converted all his divine power into void power, even the Sect Master of the God Refining Sect would not be able to tell.
