Time flew like an arrow as another five years passed with the snap of a finger. Ten years already passed when Qin Wushuang was trapped at the first level of this God Discarding Maze.
In these ten years, Qin Wushuang left his twenties and turned thirty. As time continued to go by, he lived into his thirties.
To martial artists, ten years could go by in the blink of an eye: it was not much time in the grand scheme of things. Yet to Qin Wushuang, he had many noteworthy achievements in these ten years.
Now, not only had he entered the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage, he also passed two calamities.
He was only a line away from the minimum requirement of being at the Third Calamity of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage. Of course, Qin Wushuang would not be anxious for a quick result.
He knew that these three Calamities were also a small turning point. When Transformation Supreme Dao elite warriors passed three Calamities, they would definitely be the number one existence in many sects.
Across the entire Xuan Yuan Mound, no more than thirty people would have surpassed the Third Calamity at the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage. Besides the totem clans, the remaining few were at the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates.
Within ten years, Qin Wushuang achieved a much faster progression by advancing from the Third Calamity of the Coagulate Supreme Dao Stage to the Third Calamity of Transformation Supreme Dao Stage.
Under normal circumstances, even for those exceptionally talented people, they would not have achieved this accomplishment without going through a few dozen years of hard work.
Since Qin Wushuang experienced the spiritual baptism, the advantage from this baptism showcased even more after he entered the Supreme Dao Stage.
In the ten years Qin Wushuang was in seclusion and training hard, the sky and earth turned upside down to the outside world. That Golden Crow was wreaking havoc in the Endless Eastern Sea and destroying many of the sects. If the First-Rate Dragon Palace didn’t have the dragon formation passed down from the immemorial period, most likely it would have gotten trampled by the Golden Crow already.
Golden Ray Dragon King and the Golden Crow fought three times in succession. The first time was at the Hibiscus Forest of the Rushing Current Valley. At that point, Qin Wushuang was still at the scene. The Golden Crow was inferior and ran away after being defeated.
The second time happened after four years. The Golden Crow returned in a swirl of dust and reappeared in the world. Golden Ray Dragon King stepped out to extirpate and fought on par with the Golden Crow. After seven days and seven nights of great fighting, both retreated.
The third time happened after eight years. Once again, Golden Ray Dragon King fought with Golden Crow. However, he was defeated. At this point, the power of Golden Crow already dashed to the Peak of the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage. It was slightly superior as it relied on its immemorial divine skills to defeat the Golden Ray Dragon King. It beat Golden Ray Dragon King causing severe injuries with the price of minor injuries to itself.
The news of how the Golden Ray Dragon King got defeated by Golden Crow shook the entire Tian Xuan Land. All elite warriors from each corner of the land were greatly shocked.
Now, they realized that the matter with the Golden Crow was real and not because the Forefather Dragon Clan was boosting for support interest. Additionally, the strength and the evolving speed of the Golden Crow finally alarmed all totem elite warriors.
Thus, the most paramount totem elite warriors of the other five totem clan rushed to the Endless Eastern Sea under the calling of the injured Golden Ray Dragon King. They would encircle and annihilate the Golden Crow.
When two years passed, the five paramount totem elite warriors including the recovered Golden Ray Dragon King, the six of them were incapable of trapping the Golden Crow.
Through continuous battles, vividly that Golden Crow was showing signs of breaking out of the rules of the Tian Xuan Land and the ability to soar to the galaxia. Only, it seemed that the rules of the Tian Xuan Land kept restraining the final breakthrough of the Golden Crow. Up to now, the Golden Crow could not break the last barrier.
Despite this fact, as the immemorial divine skill of the Golden Crow kept getting awakened and becoming proficient, its combat power also kept increasing. Although the six paramount totem elite warriors were the most superior existences, indeed they could throw the Golden Crow into an embarrassing situation together.
Even in this case, it was not enough to completely kill Golden Crow. It was because the speed and motion of the Golden Crow was too defiant against the natural order.
The teamwork of the six powerful and paramount totem elite warriors still could not keep up with the Golden Crow.
By using one move, the Golden Crow was able to succeed in many ways. It used speed to press the six totem elite warriors. It was able to escape with defiant speed through countless crisis.
The situation fell into such a deadlock. The only thing the six paramount elite warriors could do was to control the Golden Crow into one area and forbid it to get out of the Endless Eastern Sea.
Although this was something the Golden Ray Dragon King was unwilling to see happen, the intention of the other five totem elite warriors were strangely the same. They did not want the Golden Crow to leave the Endless Eastern Sea and escape to their territories.
This was also part of human nature. Who would be willing to take a troublemaker to the door of their own homes?
There was only one Golden Ray Dragon King and there were five of them. With one against five, it was unnecessary to vote. The Endless Eastern Sea would be the only battlefield to deal with the Golden Crow.
Or else, when these elite warriors ignored it completely, the Endless Eastern Sea would have to suffer the consequences.
Regardless, the Golden Crow was revived from the Endless Eastern Sea. Indeed, it would not be properly justified if they were to lead it to other Forbidden Spiritual Zones.
This Golden Crow could be said as the greatest matter within these ten years. Besides the Golden Crow, the expedition at the Heavenly Emperor Mountain continued.
In ten years, Qin Xiaotian’s divine soul almost reached the end of its lifetime. Fortunately, the Qin Clan had a concrete foundation and sufficient supply. This allowed Qin Xiaotian to still be able to resist the Nirvana Heavenly Plow even though it was clearly a losing battle.
Currently, Qin Xiaotian’s divine soul seal was not enough to completely seal the Nirvana Heavenly Plow. This plow already started to destroy the underground spiritual ley lines.
Only, with the obstruction of the seal, the speed of destruction was rather slow. Without a few more years, it would not be successful.
Now, only five years were left until the Heavenly Emperor election.
Xin Tianwen speculated that perhaps, five years would not be enough to completely cut off all the spiritual ley lines. However, an opening could be created.
With just one opening, Xin Tianwen would surely take the risk to injure his divine soul to knock an opening in this great formation.
As soon as an opening was created from this Eight Desolation and Six Direction protecting formation, the Supreme Dao elite warriors would rush in like the tide. By that time, without Qin Xiaotion, the core soldier, they would not be able to resist the Heavenly Emperor forces even if two new Supreme Dao warriors were to be added.
For your information, there were as many as thirteen or fourteen Supreme Dao elite warriors on the Heavenly Emperor side.
For the Qin party, indeed Zhi Huai lived up to their expectations. When he breached through his heart devil, he was quick-footed and climbed up first. He broke into the Supreme Dao Stage one step ahead of the other three Honored Warrior with the Supreme Dao Fruit.
The time he used was only six years.
The second who achieved the breakthrough was Zhi Bai, the one with the weakest potential. It was because Zhi Bai had an unyielding personality. He was stubborn and hard-working. With acute determination and strive to push forward, he was one step ahead of the indolent Zhi Tong and vulgar Zhi Song.
Zhi Bai took eight years to break into the Supreme Dao Stage.
The breakthrough of Zhi Bai stimulated Zhi Song and Zhi Tong. Having a keen sense of shame and courage, these two usually indolent guys showed signs of breakthrough. However, they did not take that last step. Yet in the next five years, with an opportunity, surely it would not be a big problem for them to break into the Supreme Dao Stage.
For the current Qin Clan, even with two extra Supreme Dao elite warriors, they were still approaching a crisis if they didn’t gain any further powerful support.
After all, for the four new Supreme Dao elite warriors, without a dozen years of valuable experience and accumulated wisdom, it would be difficult for them to form formidable combat power. Most importantly, under their current circumstances, the Heavenly Emperor Gate occupied the dominant position as they had gathered over a dozen Supreme Dao elite warriors. The disparity between numbers made the situation incredibly difficult for the Qin Clan.
Of course, for the Heavenly Emperor Gate party, they would not dare to hit on the human countries after suffering previously. Now, they were focused to strike the Qin Clan.
At the same time, they were also monitoring the Yun Clan closely to prevent them from playing any little tricks.
In fact, in the current situation, the Heavenly Emperor force would be free of concern even if the Yun Clan were to interfere. They had enough strength to deal with both clans if they chose to join hands.
Unfortunately, in the end the Yun Clan still did not lend an aiding hand to the Qin Clan. Like a boulder, they did not change their neutral position.
…
The great achievement happened at the human countries. When Wei Yi and Zhao Muzhi of the Stargaze Palace trained within the human countries, they achieved rapid progress. Both entered the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage swiftly. Within ten years, it was as if they were inserted with wings. The rapid progress simply surpassed their greatest imagination.
Initially, the five Palace Masters were depressed about Qin Wushuang. However, the outstanding performance of Wei Yi and Zhao Muzhi more or less washed some of their sorrows away.
For these two Exquisite Mysterious Boundary elite warriors, Wei Yi had entered the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage directly. In ten short years, he leveled up three times from the Ravine Mysterious Stage to the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage.
The five Palace Masters were also calm as they did not spread this news to the outside world. Instead, they let them conceal their strength and bide their time. They were not allowed to go to the Xuan Yuan Mound.
Although the Xuan Yuan Mound had rich spiritual Qi and advantageous terrain, with the current unstable political outlook, the Stargaze Palace did not have the capital to risk it.
Therefore, the outside world was clueless of the sudden rise of these two defiant disciples from the Stargaze Palace.
Zhuo Buqun could be said as calm. Being the honorable Head Palace Master, he could still keep his composure. For Zhong Wuyin, the Third Palace Master, vividly he was somewhat smug and conceited when he had Zhao Muzhi, this defiant disciple that went against natural order. Among the five Palace Masters, it seemed he even held his head much higher.
Although this form of emotion did not carry any vile intentions, the other three Palace Masters more or less felt somewhat speechless.
Especially for the disciples in the line of Tan Zhongchi, they felt incredibly wronged when they saw Zhong Wuyin’s arrogant look. According to what Senior Brother Zhao Muzhi and Wei Yi said, they were able to acquire this luck thanks to Qin Wushuang. Although Qin Wushuang was currently missing, it was inappropriate for Zhong Wuyin to act pretentious before disciples of Tan Zhongchi.
After all, without Qin Wushuang, there would not be a Stargaze Palace at all and Wei Yi and Zhao Muzhi would not have gotten this magical fortune.
Of course, the entire Stargaze Palace had not forgotten about Qin Wushuang. Especially Zhuo Buqun, from beginning to end he always put him in a transcending position.
Tan Zhongchi was even calmer. He always firmly believed that his disciple was a person with great fortune. He would not die! Just like the battle at the Green Jade Mountain, the entire mountain transformed into ruins. Everyone thought Qin Wushuang definitely died, what was the result?
Therefore, Tan Zhongchi was steady. He was waiting. He would wait for his beloved disciple to reappear into the world and wait for him to lead the final rapid advance of the Stargaze Palace!
