Jade Sovereign Sect, inside a certain pavilion.
Sensing that his rapidly declining aura had suddenly stabilized, Zachary Taichu, who had only a sliver of hope left, instantly regained his confidence. His eyes burned as he stared at Ian Song: "Young Master, how should I cooperate next?"
Ian Song replied calmly, "You failed to break through to the Saint Sea Realm mainly because your potential and accumulation were lacking. Here—take these. These three Frost‑Soul Pills will greatly enhance your aptitude and potential!"
As he spoke, a flash of cold light appeared. Zachary Taichu reached out and caught it, opening his palm to reveal three crystal-clear pills radiating a faint chill. Without hesitation, he tossed them into his mouth.
Not long after swallowing the pills, Zachary Taichu felt the miraculous medicinal power from the three Frost‑Soul Pills.
While Zachary was absorbing the medicinal power, his aura never declined again thanks to the formation’s suppression.
This left the two elders outside—one in black, one in white—feeling extremely anxious.
Finally, an entire hour passed.
By now, Zachary had fully absorbed the power of the three Frost‑Soul Pills. Once lost and disheartened, he was now radiant with energy, looking at Ian Song with deep gratitude. He had a strong feeling that if he tried to break through to the Saint Sea Realm now, he would definitely succeed.
Although he was confident, Zachary still asked Ian Song, "Young Master, what should we do next?"
"You should feel it yourself—go ahead and try breaking through to the Saint Sea Realm again!" Ian said.
"Alright!"
Zachary nodded, cleared his mind of distractions, and began his attempt to break through to the Saint Sea Realm again.
As he made his attempt, his aura once again began to soar rapidly.
Sensing the familiar aura from inside the pavilion, the two elders in black and white couldn't help but exchange glances. In each other's eyes, they saw shock and disbelief—yet above all, joy.
They knew that Zachary was trying to break through to the Saint Sea Realm once again.
As time passed, Zachary's aura grew stronger and more vast, gradually covering all of Goddess Peak. Those present felt an urge to bow their heads in worship.
Finally, after a little less than half an hour—
Zachary's aura reached its peak.
Unlike last time, this time his aura was more than twice as strong as his previous peak.
Boom!
Zachary's expression grew solemn as he rapidly formed hand seals, causing the void to echo with repeated crashing sounds, like thunder on a dry day.
At the same time, Ian noticed dozens of black iron chains faintly appearing inside Zachary's body. One end stretched into the void, while the other was deeply embedded in his flesh.
Ian determined that to break through to the Saint Sea Realm, Zachary would most likely have to shatter these black iron chains.
"Break for me!"
In the next instant, Zachary sped up his hand seals and unleashed a flurry of techniques. His aura grew even sharper, and several metallic snapping sounds rang out.
Nice!
Ian watched in surprise as Zachary directly shattered three of the iron chains.
As the chains snapped, Zachary's aura began to change. Although it didn't grow stronger, it became much denser.
This is transformation!
