On this day, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly, not a cloud in sight.
In a certain courtyard of the Jade Sovereign Sect, Ian Song’s face showed a hint of impatience. He had already been at Jade Sovereign Sect for half a month, but Zachary Taichu was still in seclusion and hadn’t come out.
He decided that he’d wait two more days. If Zachary was still in seclusion, he’d leave and go to another sect to trade for techniques.
But just then, he sensed a powerful aura erupting from somewhere inside Jade Sovereign Sect. The aura was vast and majestic, carrying a kind of heavenly pressure, faintly surpassing the Law-Phase Realm—and it was still climbing, as if about to break through some kind of barrier.
"What’s this?"
Ian narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately judged that someone was most likely attempting a breakthrough to the Law-Phase Realm—and the most probable candidate was the secluded Zachary Taichu.
Jade Sovereign Sect was already the strongest sect in Mystic Sun Domain. If Zachary Taichu broke through to the Saint Sea Realm, then...
Thinking of this, Ian couldn’t help but mutter, "If Zachary Taichu reaches the Saint Sea Realm, the entire power structure of Mystic Sun Domain might be overturned!"
Still, this didn’t have much to do with him—he had no plans to dominate the world. Even if Jade Sovereign Sect ruled Mystic Sun Domain, so what?
A little while later.
The worry on the white-robed elder’s face grew even deeper as he spoke.
Martial artists are different from cultivators and divine path practitioners. Ages thirty to eighty are considered the golden years for martial artists—only by breaking through to Saint Sea during this period can their body and soul be truly transformed. If they miss this window, breaking through later is nearly impossible.
These two elders, one in black and one in white...
The white-robed elder was Zachary Taichu’s master and the previous Order Master of Jade Sovereign Sect. His own cultivation had stalled at the late Law-Phase peak, with no hope of further breakthrough, so he pinned all his hopes on Zachary.
The black-robed elder was Zachary’s martial uncle, his cultivation at mid Law-Phase, and he served as Jade Sovereign Sect’s Grand Elder.
Boom! Boom!
The air trembled violently—the whole Jade Sovereign Sect could feel it.
This was Zachary Taichu slamming against the barrier to Saint Sea.
Once!
Twice!
