Lu Shu had spent so much time working on it. For the past two weeks, he had lost his appetite thinking about pushing the boundaries of the Seal of Lands within the Capital everyday. During that period of time, Lu Shu always felt that there was not enough time. He even felt that he did not have enough celestial powers, a feeling that he had not felt before.
He had spent a whole two weeks, and helped Nie Ting to break through?
What was this? He could break through just like that?
According to the Seal of Lands, Nie Ting wanted to use his power to force through the barrier of Spirit Qi created by the Seal of Lands. But the Seal of Lands was very powerful. Nie Ting had exhausted his energy just by pushing the 500 square meter courtyard out of the Seal of Lands boundary.
The reason why Nie Ting could not break through during this period of time was because he could not find the way. There was no one who could tell him where to go. No one even knew what was beyond Class A, thus, no one knew how to break through Class A.
Nie Ting had wanted to find a well-matched partner for a battle, but he could not find one…
This time, the Seal of Lands was very tough. It was a mythical object created according to the rules of the origins of the world. Nie Ting fought the origins of the world as an opponent and uncovered the real meaning of breaking through Class A.
Class B was the start of communication between heaven and earth. On the other hand, Class A’s could resonate with heaven and earth just by breathing.
What was beyond Class A? Why did it invoke a divine punishment?
At that moment, Nie Ting suddenly understood. Once he reached above Class A, he would go beyond the origins of the world to form heaven and earth, allowing the human body to get closer to the source of strength. This alteration of fate would result in a punishment from nature!
The borrowing of external strength did not align with the laws of nature. Thus, the divine punishment was invoked.
Prior to this, no one knew how to advance beyond Class A. This was like an obstacle game. No one knew the strategies. They did not even know where they should go.
Just when Nie Ting was in a pinch, Lu Shu had pointed him in a direction and Nie Ting had walked on it…
Lu Shu mumbled, “This fellow is messed up…”
Lu Shu suddenly felt that he was like Liu Li back then, when he had won the arm-wrestling match. Liu Li only had one thing on his mind. This fellow was messed up!
Back then, Liu Li could not understand how Lu Shu could awaken through an arm-wrestling match. He started to doubt life.
Now, Lu Shu could not understand how Nie Ting had broken through the boundary of the Seal of Lands and embarked on the path towards the peak of human combat power. Lu Shu was now doubting life as well.
But now, this was a serious matter. Lu Shu told Shi Xuejin about the details of when he had experienced the divine punishment back then. Although he was still unhappy with Nie Ting, he did not want to see Nie Ting die from the divine punishment.
Nie Ting was the backbone of the Heavenly Network. If Nie Ting died, the rest of the pillars in the Heavenly Network would collapse as well.
Lu Shu was very clear that the conflict between them was not because of a clash in morals. It was a fight, but they kept it within a very small range.
Shi Xuejin silently hung up and called Nie Ting. Earlier, he had gotten Nie Ting to ask Lu Shu. But Nie Ting’s “I heard that you were struck by lightning” irritated Lu Shu. Now, Shi Xuejin was busy with so many things, and his house was gone…
Who did he provoke?
From Shi Xuejin’s point of view, both Nie Ting and Lu Shu were messed up!
“From Shi Xuejin’s distress, +399!”
Nie Ting had flown to the grasslands in the north. It was an unpopulated area.
His black coat flapped loudly in the wind. The dark clouds in the sky followed Nie Ting from the Capital. It was as if a world-shaking threat was brewing within the clouds.
But Nie Ting did not move. He soared above the sky and closed his eyes to rest.
The divine punishment had not occurred yet. Nie Ting’s blade energy grew stronger and stronger. The animals in the surroundings started to flee in fright. The threatening clouds seemed to have frightened the animals. It also gave them time to escape.
All the animals sensed danger and ran away, leaving Nie Ting alone. If someone entered this area, they would probably be able to hear the loud and clear sound of a sword being unsheathed. This was Nie Ting’s sound of Dao.
A few hours passed. Suddenly, Nie Ting saw a few black spots in the distance. As the approached, he realized that they were the few Class A’s in the world.
Li Xianyi, Chen Baili, Cloud Yi, Tiger Zhi, the Bishop, the Saint.
Li Xianyi stood with Chen Baili, while Cloud Yi stood with Tiger Zhi. There were two identical iron-clad puppets attached to their black coats. They seemed very dignified.
The Saint was a Caucasian. He wore simple linen clothing. He calmly looked in Nie Ting’s direction.
The Bishop seemed to have aged significantly, while Chen Baili and Li Xianyi seemed to be getting younger. Even Nie Ting looked like a young man. After one’s lifespan had been extended, their vitality would be restored. But the Bishop was different. He was still aging, which was very strange.
To be honest, the Class A experts looked down on the Bishop, as he did not advance to Class A through his own efforts. Taking shortcuts was not an indicator of his strength.
Everyone had felt the change and knew that someone was about to break through Class A. Thus, they had come to observe. No one had found a way to break through, but Nie Ting had. They definitely had to take a look.
The barrier was continuously being destroyed. Perhaps someone else would follow in Nie Ting’s footsteps and break through in the future.
Of course, the Saint, the Bishop, and the Puppet Masters had other motives, such as sabotaging Nie Ting’s route to advancement.
Once Nie Ting breaks through the bottleneck, the structure of the realm of cultivation would change again. The Heavenly Network would immediately surpass all the organizations in the world. No one wanted to see this!
Because no one knew how strong Nie Ting would become after advancing!
As the six Class A experts surrounded him, Nie Ting continued to close his eyes and rest. It was as if he had not been affected at all. He was like a towering mountain under the clouds.
No one dared to step up and fight Nie Ting. The atmosphere seemed to have solidified. There was only the sound of Nie Ting slowly unsheathing his sword. The sword would be fully unsheathed at any moment, but it was as if it were waiting for something.
Suddenly, there was a roar of thunder. A purple thunderbolt struck. Nie Ting was very far away from the clouds, but the thunderbolt reached him in a blink of an eye!
Clang! Everyone froze. The Saint, who had been very quiet, looked up and saw Nie Ting strike the thunderbolt as if he was about to open the sky and divide the earth.
His sword had been on standby for a very long time. It was as if all of Nie Ting’s energy had been channeled into the sword and cut through time and space. It was as if the king of swords had arrived!
