Chapter 452 A Soaring Pillar of Light Shocks the Liu Family! The Treasure Vault Draws the Attention of Thousands!

Time passed bit by bit.

In the main hall on the seventh floor of the Star Pavilion, Jiang Yun sat cross-legged in front of the dark-gold display stand where the ancestral dragon essence blood was kept. His eyes were tightly shut, and his breathing was steady and long. He was as motionless as a stone Buddha in deep meditation.

It had been some time since he was teleported out of the challenge space.

Exactly three hours had passed.

Three hours ago, because he hadn't summoned a beast to challenge for a long time, the Ten Thousand Beast Battle Formation automatically determined that the challenge had been aborted. The teleportation light film lit up again, sending him back to the seventh-floor hall.

However, Jiang Yun didn't get up to choose other treasures, nor did he exit the Star Pavilion the way he came. Instead, he sat down cross-legged on the spot, closed his eyes, and once again sank his Divine Sense into his Beast Taming Space.

He had been sitting there for three hours.

Outside the mystic light mirror.

Liu Qingyun and Elder Liu Lan had gone from being confused at the beginning to being completely bewildered now.

"What on earth... is he doing?"

Liu Qingyun finally couldn't help but break the silence.

He stared at the white figure sitting motionless in the mystic light mirror, his brows knitted into a deep frown. His voice was filled with unconcealed confusion and a faint sense of unease.

"It's been three or four hours, hasn't it? After being teleported out, he neither continues the challenge nor leaves the Star Pavilion. He's just sitting there with his eyes closed, as if he's in a trance. What does he want to do? Is he cultivating? Cultivating inside the Liu family treasure vault? He's really making himself at home!"

Elder Liu Lan stood to the side, her elegant brows also tightly furrowed, her beautiful eyes swirling with intense doubt.

Her gaze swept over Jiang Yun several times, trying to find a clue from the young man. But on that face, mostly covered by a silver-white mask, there was nothing but an almost terrifying calmness.

"I can't see through it either."

Elder Liu Lan slowly shook her head, her voice kept very low.

"If it was for breath regulation and recovery, three hours should have been more than enough. But he has no intention of coming out, nor does he seem to be looking for a weakness. Before his previous challenges, he would carefully observe the display cases and Restrictions, but in these three hours, he hasn't even opened his eyes once."

"Could it be..."

Liu Qingyun hesitated for a moment, his voice carrying a somewhat uncertain guess.

"Could he be waiting for something?"

"Waiting for what?"

"I don't know."

Liu Qingyun shook his head, his tone full of helplessness.

"But when he retracted his beasts earlier, the condition of those two beasts was clearly fine. After being teleported out, he neither challenges nor leaves, which can only mean one thing: he feels that now is not the time to challenge, so he is waiting for a suitable moment."

Elder Liu Lan was silent for a moment, her frown deepening.

"Waiting for a moment... what moment? That phantom of the Azure Ancient Dragon won't disappear on its own. What's the use of waiting no matter how long?"

"That's why I said I can't see through him."

Liu Qingyun sighed and rubbed his aching temples. "One simply cannot use common sense to fathom the actions of this Grand Tutor Dongxuan. It would be strange if you could guess what he's going to do next."

The two looked at each other, both seeing a familiar sense of powerlessness in the other's eyes.

However, just as they were preparing to continue waiting patiently.

The image in the mystic light mirror suddenly changed.

It wasn't that Jiang Yun moved.

Rather, a light suddenly erupted from Jiang Yun's body.

The light was very faint at first, just a pale golden halo vaguely seeping out from within him, as if something had been ignited inside his body.

But in just a few breaths, that light expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

From pale gold to pure gold, from a glimmer to a brilliant blaze, from a beam to a vast expanse.

Immediately following.

"BOOM!!!"

A massive golden pillar of light, thick enough to rival a thousand-year-old tree, suddenly soared into the sky from within Jiang Yun's body!

The moment the light pillar erupted, the entire ceiling of the Star Pavilion's seventh floor trembled violently.

The Moonlight Stones embedded in the ceiling flickered crazily under the impact, dimming and brightening as if they would be shattered by this force at any moment.

On the Azure Radiance Stone floor tiles of the main hall, the long-dormant runic patterns all lit up, attempting to suppress this sudden burst of energy with the power of the Formation. However, they only managed to suppress it for less than three breaths before the light pillar forcibly shattered the layers of Restrictions with an overbearing and tyrannical posture.

The light pillar pierced through the ceiling of the seventh floor.

Like an ancient golden dragon breaking free from its shackles, the golden pillar of light pierced downward from the highest point of the Star Pavilion, completely skewering the entire treasure vault along its central axis before bursting out from deep within the foundation of the Star Pavilion's ground floor and shooting straight into the sky!

At the same instant the golden light pillar broke through the Star Pavilion's ceiling, a majestic dragon pressure so vast it was suffocating also exploded outward.

It was an ancient and domineering pressure, carrying the regal aura of the Dragon Clan that looked down upon all living beings, along with an extremely pure and blazing power of both fire attribute and water attribute.

Golden flames and deep blue water vapor intertwined within the light pillar, turning into a dazzling two-colored pillar of light that painted the sky above the Liu family half golden-red and half azure-blue.

Even more critically, this power was still continuously and steadily climbing upward.

With every inch it climbed, the light pillar grew a circle thicker, the dragon pressure became a layer heavier, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within a radius of dozens of miles poured even more crazily toward the position of the light pillar.

The entire sky of the Liu family.

Was completely ignited at this moment.

In front of the mystic light mirror.

Liu Qingyun and Elder Liu Lan almost simultaneously jumped up from the ground.

"This... what is going on?!"

Liu Qingyun's voice cracked. He pointed at the golden light pillar in the mystic light mirror that drowned out the entire image, his fingers trembling violently, and the expression on his face looked as if he had choked on three eggs at once.

Shock, bewilderment, and disbelief were all twisted together.

"How can he have this kind of power in him?! This light pillar is bursting out from within his body! Could it be his Beast Taming Space! What on earth is happening inside his Beast Taming Space?!"

Elder Liu Lan's pupils also contracted to the extreme at this moment.

Her gaze was fixed on the churning flames and water vapor within the golden light pillar. Feeling the familiar aura within that dragon pressure, an image flashed through her mind like a bolt of lightning.

The figure of that True Dragon Beast, covered in burning golden flames, raising its head and roaring.

"Clan Leader!"

Elder Liu Lan suddenly turned to look at Liu Qingyun, her voice carrying an unbelievable tremor.

"This aura... it's that True Dragon Beast! It's Grand Tutor Dongxuan's True Dragon! This dragon pressure and the dual-attribute spiritual power of fire and water—there's no mistake! But this intensity,"

She took a deep breath, her voice full of horror.

"This has already far exceeded the scope of the Gold Rank, and it's still surging upward! This is clearly a Breakthrough of a Realm Bottleneck! Is Grand Tutor Dongxuan's True Dragon Beast actually breaking through within his Beast Taming Space!"

Liu Qingyun's mind exploded with a buzz.

A Breakthrough.

That True Dragon Beast was breaking through.

No wonder.

No wonder this kid retracted his beasts but didn't come out. No wonder he sat cross-legged and motionless in the challenge space for three whole hours.

He wasn't regulating his breath or recovering at all, nor was he looking for any weakness. He was letting his beast charge at the Realm Bottleneck within the Beast Taming Space!

He wanted to forcibly push that True Dragon from Peak Gold Rank 9 to the Purple Gold Rank!

"So... so that's how it is..."

Liu Qingyun's voice was as dry as sandpaper rubbing together. As he spoke, he involuntarily took half a step back, as if the soaring pillar of light carried some kind of scorching heat.

"He never intended to give up on the ancestral dragon essence blood. He just felt that a Gold Rank beast couldn't defeat the Diamond Rank True Dragon phantom, so he wanted his beast to break through before fighting again! But how is this possible? Breaking through a major Realm barrier takes even the most talented beasts at least several days and nights of accumulation and stabilization. How can he do it in such a short time..."

Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly shut his mouth.

Because he remembered something.

Half a stick of incense.

This Grand Tutor Dongxuan had previously allowed two heavily injured and dying beasts to return to full health within half a stick of incense. That unheard-of recovery speed had already completely shattered his understanding.

Since even a near-death state could be cured within half a stick of incense, why should a Breakthrough into a major Realm take several days and nights?

"This Prodigy..."

Liu Qingyun gritted his teeth.

He squeezed those words out from between his teeth.

He didn't know if he was cursing Jiang Yun or marveling at him, or perhaps both.

However, just as the two were in shock, the commotion caused by the soaring pillar of light had already far exceeded the range of the treasure vault.

The Liu Family Martial Arts Field.

Dozens of young Liu family Disciples were currently sparring in the field. The sounds of beast collisions and spiritual power explosions were constant.

A young man in green athletic attire was directing his Gold Rank Crimson Flame Eagle in a fierce exchange with his opponent's Profound Ice Python. Red flames and frost darted back and forth in the air, the battle locked in a stalemate.

The cheers of the surrounding Disciples rose and fell, and the atmosphere reached a fever pitch.

At the very moment the Crimson Flame Eagle let out a sharp cry, preparing to launch a decisive strike.

A thick, gold-and-blue dual-colored pillar of light suddenly shot into the sky from somewhere deep within the Liu family estate. The pillar was so massive that it was clearly visible even from dozens of miles away.

Immediately after, a majestic dragon pressure swept over like an invisible tsunami. The movements of all the beasts on the Martial Arts Field froze at the same time.

The flames all over the Crimson Flame Eagle suddenly shrank as if a bucket of ice water had been poured on them, and the fire dimmed by more than half.

It let out a terrified whimper, its wings going limp as it nearly tumbled from mid-air.

The Profound Ice Python fared even worse, curling directly into a ball and burying its head in its body while shivering. The frost spiritual power on its surface dissipated completely under the suppression of the dragon pressure.

The reactions of the other beasts in the field were identical.

Flying beasts landed on the ground one after another and lay motionless. Land beasts' legs went weak, and they collapsed on the ground, unable to even stand. Some beasts with lower cultivation were even scared into incontinence.

For a moment, the entire Martial Arts Field was in chaos, like a pot of boiling porridge.

"What's going on?!"

"My Crimson Flame Eagle! Eagle, what's wrong with you?!"

"Profound Ice Python! Python, raise your head! What? You're afraid? Afraid of what?!"

"What is that light?!"

All the Disciples stopped what they were doing and looked up in unison toward the direction of the soaring pillar of light.

The light pillar pierced the clouds, and half the sky was dyed in a strange color of intertwined golden-red and azure-blue. Vaguely, one could see countless tiny dragon-shaped phantoms winding and circling within the light pillar, accompanied by low dragon roars that seemed to come from ancient times.

"That direction... it's the Star Pavilion! It's the direction of the treasure vault!"

"The treasure vault?! Why would there be such a commotion at the treasure vault? The power contained in that light pillar is too terrifying, isn't it? Even from this far away, my beast is scared stiff. What level of pressure is this?"

"There's dragon pressure in it too! Did you feel it? That pressure is definitely the Bloodline pressure of the Dragon Clan, and its purity is extremely high. It's more than a grade stronger than those few beasts with flood dragon Bloodlines in our Liu Family Beast Hall!"

"Could it be that some new Heaven-Defying treasure has appeared in the vault? Didn't the Clan Leader say he was taking that Grand Tutor Dongxuan to the vault to choose a treasure? Could Grand Tutor Dongxuan have triggered some ancient legacy treasure?"

"Let's go! Go take a look! Hurry!"

Someone shouted, and the Disciples on the Martial Arts Field immediately dispersed, swarming toward the direction of the treasure vault.

The same scene.

Was playing out in every corner of the Liu family estate at the same time.

Liu Family Beast Tamer Hall.

Several white-bearded Elders were in the middle of explaining beast evolution paths to the Disciples. They were in high spirits, animatedly describing the precautions for using certain rare evolution Materials.

Suddenly, a golden light soared into the sky outside the window, accompanied by a violent dragon pressure that swept through the entire hall.

The Elders' lecturing stopped abruptly. A few quick-reacting ones had already rushed to the window, staring with their old, clouded eyes at the pillar of light piercing the clouds on the horizon.

"That's... that's the direction of the treasure vault!"

"Such strong dragon pressure! This is the pressure of a True Dragon Bloodline! And the purity is extremely high; it's definitely not something a common pseudo-dragon could emit!"

"Could it be that the Clan Leader has hidden some True Dragon remains in the vault that we don't know about? This aura, this pressure—it's definitely not something an ordinary treasure could trigger!"

"Quick! Go take a look! This commotion is too big; I'm afraid the entire Liu family has been alarmed!"

The Elders put down their lesson plans and hurried toward the door.

Seeing the Elders run off, how could the Disciples hold back? They followed suit in a great surge, flocking toward the treasure vault in a massive crowd.

Liu Family Battle Arena.

In this vast, giant arena, two Amethyst Rank Liu family Core Disciples were conducting their monthly ranking battle.

Two Amethyst Rank beasts were locked in a fierce battle in the field. The surrounding stands were filled with watching Disciples and deacons, their cheers deafening.

Suddenly, the golden light pillar exploded from the horizon, and dragon pressure weighed down on the entire arena. The two Amethyst Rank beasts that were in the middle of a fierce fight stopped their movements simultaneously, both letting out fearful whimpers. No matter how much their masters urged them, they refused to fight any longer.

The entire audience was in an uproar.

"Look! What is that light?!"

"The treasure vault! The direction of the treasure vault! Heavens, there seems to be a dragon inside that light pillar!"

"What dragon? That's a dragon phantom formed from Spiritual Qi! Someone is breaking through! No... this isn't a person's Breakthrough, it's a beast! A beast is charging at a Realm Bottleneck, and this aura is definitely related to a True Dragon without a doubt!"

"True Dragon Bloodline? When did our Liu family have a beast with a True Dragon Bloodline? Could it be a new beast contracted by Young Miss Ruyan?"

"It can't be Young Miss Ruyan! I heard she went into seclusion today. She can't be in the direction of the treasure vault. Could it be... Grand Tutor Dongxuan's beast?"

As soon as this guess was voiced.

The entire arena fell into a brief, dead silence.

After the events at the ancestral land.

The deeds of Grand Tutor Dongxuan had already spread through the Liu family's information channels.

At this moment, the name of Grand Tutor Dongxuan was likely known to everyone in the Liu family, except for a few people in seclusion.

Following the person's words.

The exclamation that instantly erupted from the scene was ten times louder than the previous cheers.

Many Disciples jumped up from the stands and rushed out of the arena as if their feet were oiled, not even caring about their own ranking matches anymore.

How could a ranking match be as exciting as witnessing the Breakthrough of a beast related to a True Dragon with one's own eyes?

In an instant.

The entire Liu family was in a complete frenzy.

[part:gemini-3.1-flash-lite]

From the Martial Arts Arena to the Beast Tamer Hall, from the Battle Arena to the Scripture Pavilion, from the Pill Refining Room to the Rune Hall, from the Disciple Residences to the Deacon Courtyards—in every corner and on every path, groups of three or five Liu Family Disciples could be seen rushing toward the Treasure Vault.

Some moved with wind at their heels, some summoned their beasts to ride, and others ran while excitedly debating the origin of that golden pillar of light with their companions.

The sky was even livelier.

Several streams of light rose simultaneously from all parts of the Liu Family, each carrying an ancient and powerful aura.

These were the Grand Elders of the Liu Family, those reclusive old monsters who rarely concerned themselves with worldly affairs. At this moment, they had been startled by the True Dragon pressure emanating from that pillar of light reaching toward the heavens.

Their Divine Sense communicated rapidly in the Void Realm for a few breaths, and then they unanimously sped toward the Treasure Vault.

On the east side of the Liu Family.

In a secluded courtyard.

Liu Lie was sitting cross-legged under an ancient pine tree in the courtyard, regulating his breath and calming his spirit.

Ever since this conservative Grand Elder had been publicly slapped in the face by Jiang Yun in the Ancestral Grounds, he had remained behind closed doors, claiming to be in seclusion to Cultivate, but in reality, he was too ashamed to show his face.

Just thinking about how he had taken the lead in questioning Grand Tutor Dongxuan, only to be slapped in the face by that guy's Heaven-Defying three-pulse resonance technique, made him feel completely uncomfortable.

What was even more infuriating was that the Nine-Turn Spirit-Condensing Pill he had paid out was an eclipsing moon Low Grade Mental Energy Medicinal Pill. Giving it away for nothing to that junior made his teeth itch just thinking about it.

For the past few days, he had been consoling himself.

Giving away the treasure was fine. Anyway, no matter how powerful Grand Tutor Dongxuan was, he only had those few tricks. Didn't that girl, Elder Liu Lan, say that the higher one challenged in the Star Pavilion, the greater the difficulty? It would be good if that kid could get two or three treasures; he definitely couldn't move the core foundation of the Liu Family.

Just as he was thinking this, a golden light suddenly exploded in the sky, followed by a majestic True Dragon pressure that swept across the entire courtyard like an invisible shockwave. The pine needles on the ancient pine tree shivered under this pressure, falling all over Liu Lie's head and face.

Liu Lie opened his eyes abruptly, a flash of shock passing through his turbid old eyes.

"What's going on?!"

He stood up abruptly and looked up in the direction where the golden light rose. The moment that familiar location came into view, his pupils constricted sharply.

"That is... the Treasure Vault?!"

The two conservative Grand Elders beside Liu Lie also stood up at the same time. The three of them fixed their gazes on the gold and blue dual-colored pillar of light piercing the sky, their faces filled with shock and unease.

"This dragon might... it's True Dragon Bloodline! And it's a True Dragon Bloodline of extremely high purity! It's even many times stronger than those dragon beasts in our Liu Family's Beast Hall!"

"How could this kind of aura suddenly appear in the direction of the Treasure Vault? Isn't the Family Head currently taking that Grand Tutor Dongxuan to choose treasures in the Treasure Vault? How could such a big commotion be caused? Could something have gone wrong?"

"This aura seems to be still climbing! This isn't some treasure being born; this is a beast undergoing a Breakthrough! Someone is having a Breakthrough in the Treasure Vault!"

Liu Lie's expression became extremely colorful in an instant.

Grand Tutor Dongxuan?!

The Treasure Vault!!!

True Dragon...

Breakthrough...

These words connected rapidly in his mind, piecing together an inference that made him both shocked and excited.

Did that Grand Tutor Dongxuan's beast have a Breakthrough in the Treasure Vault?

And it caused such a big commotion?

It even alarmed the entire Liu Family?

But it could also be another situation.

Perhaps it wasn't a Breakthrough, but something went wrong with the challenge?

Or perhaps the Treasure Vault's Formation triggered some Restriction, which caused the heavenly phenomenon?

Regardless of the situation.

It was worth seeing for himself.

"Hmph."

Liu Lie let out a cold snort through his nose, but the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably, revealing a gloating smile.

"Causing such a big commotion in the Treasure Vault, I think that Grand Tutor Dongxuan has likely run into some trouble. Perhaps the treasure challenge failed, and he was backlashed by the Formation. Let's go and take a look!"

His words sounded like concern on the surface, but anyone could hear the undisguised gloating in his tone.

Another Grand Elder hesitated and said, "Brother Liu Lie, if it were just a failed challenge, there shouldn't be such a big commotion, right? This dragon might..."

"Won't we know once we go and see?"

Liu Lie waved his hand, interrupting him, his eyes full of anticipation to watch a good show.

"Anyway, the Family Head is also over there; we can just go and find out. If that Grand Tutor Dongxuan really makes a fool of himself, it would be just right to let the Family Head see that the distinguished guest he invited isn't omnipotent!"

After saying this, he stepped on the ground, his figure turned into a stream of light, and he flew toward the Treasure Vault first.

The other conservative Grand Elders looked at each other and followed one after another.

Meanwhile, in another part of the Liu Family.

In a quiet and elegant small courtyard.

Elder Mo and Great Master Master Fu Shan were drinking under the phoenix tree in the courtyard.

On the stone table sat a pot of freshly brewed spirit tea, the fragrance curling in the air, the atmosphere rarely relaxed.

Ever since they cooperated with Grand Tutor Dongxuan in the Ancestral Grounds to complete that Heaven-Defying three-pulse resonance, the two Grand Tutor Level masters had been completely conquered by the Rune attainments and Array Dao Comprehension Ability displayed by that young man.

Elder Mo still clearly remembered the few repair Runes that Jiang Yun casually mentioned among the array pattern nodes.

He had studied those few Runes countless times afterwards, and each time he could comprehend new things from them; the more he studied, the more unfathomable he felt they were.

Great Master Master Fu Shan was the same. The few micro-adjustments Jiang Yun made to the trend of the array patterns in the battle Formation seemed plain and uninteresting, but after careful consideration, he found that those adjustments had a subversive improvement on the overall operational efficiency of the battle Formation.

"Speaking of which, this is the first time I, this old man, have seen such talent in a young friend like Grand Tutor Dongxuan in all these years."

Elder Mo picked up his teacup and took a sip.

He shook his head and sighed.

"The Dao of Runes emphasizes accumulation; without decades of immersion, it is impossible to have any real attainments. But look at him, at sixteen or seventeen years old, the Runes he casually pointed out make me, someone who has studied Runes for a lifetime, ponder for a long time. If this were to spread, I'm afraid the entire Rune world of the Human Race in the Eastern Region would explode."

Great Master Master Fu Shan nodded in deep agreement.

"The same goes for the Array Dao. I have spent most of my life on the path of Array Dao, and I consider myself to have some insights, but that young friend Grand Tutor Dongxuan's realization and understanding of battle Formations do not seem like something a teenager could have at all. That precise control over the battle Formation veins—I would believe it if someone said he was an old Array monster who had been living in seclusion for many years disguised as a youth."

"Haha, unfortunately, he is not."

Elder Mo smiled and shook his head.

"His bone age is there; he is truly young, and truly a Prodigy."

Just as the two were talking.

A golden light suddenly exploded in the sky.

Immediately following, a violent and majestic dragon might swept over like a tide. The leaves of the phoenix tree rustled in the dragon might, the teacups on the stone table trembled slightly, and ripples spread across the surface of the tea.

Elder Mo and Great Master Master Fu Shan stood up at the same time, their two pairs of old eyes staring fixedly in the direction where the golden light rose.

"That is..."

Elder Mo's voice paused abruptly.

Then a sharp light flashed in his pupils.

"The direction of the Treasure Vault!"

Great Master Master Fu Shan's brows also tightened at the same instant. He closed his eyes and felt it for a moment, then opened them abruptly, his aged voice carrying a trace of unbelievable shock.

"This aura... is the True Dragon Beast I saw in the Ancestral Grounds! It is that True Dragon Beast of young friend Grand Tutor Dongxuan! This dragon might, this water and fire dual-attribute Spiritual Qi fluctuation, I will never remember it wrong!"

"It... seems to be having a Breakthrough?!!!"

Elder Mo's voice was decisive.

The turbid old eyes were shining brightly at this moment.

"The intensity of this aura has far exceeded the scope of Gold Rank, and it is still rising. It is impacting the Purple Gold Rank! That True Dragon Beast of young friend Grand Tutor Dongxuan is impacting the Purple Gold Rank in the Treasure Vault!"

The two looked at each other.

At the same time, they gasped.

They were both well-informed older figures, and major Realm Breakthroughs were nothing new to them.

But the problem was that this was not the wild, not an Immortal Cave, and not any place suitable for a Breakthrough.

This was the Liu Family Treasure Vault, a closed space shrouded in layers of Restrictions.

Letting a beast have a Breakthrough in such a place was either a last resort or that Grand Tutor Dongxuan simply didn't take the Restrictions of the Liu Family Treasure Vault seriously.

And no matter which possibility it was, it proved one thing.

That Grand Tutor Dongxuan had encountered a situation in the Treasure Vault that required his beast to have a Breakthrough on the spot.

"Could it be the treasure on the seventh floor?"

Elder Mo's voice added a hint of solemn excitement.

"The sixth floor is already eclipsing moon High Grade and Sun-Level Low Grade, the seventh floor..."

Great Master Master Fu Shan did not finish his sentence, but the meaning was self-evident.

The seventh floor, at the very least, was a supreme treasure above the Sun-Level.

And given the challenge rules of the seventh floor, the Realm span of the phantom would definitely reach a terrifying number.

"Let's go! Let's go and see!"

Elder Mo made a prompt decision, put down his teacup, and walked out, his pace so fast that he didn't look like an old man over sixty at all.

"Young friend Grand Tutor Dongxuan is going to do something big! Being able to let his True Dragon Beast have a Breakthrough on the spot in the Treasure Vault, what kind of treasure did he take a fancy to on the seventh floor? I am getting more and more curious!"

Great Master Master Fu Shan followed closely behind.

The two simultaneously turned into streams of light and rushed toward the Treasure Vault.

Meanwhile.

In the sky all over the Liu Family.

More and more streams of light rose up.

There were Liu Family Elders, Deacons from various halls, Core Disciples who rushed to hear the news, and Grand Elders who flew out of various courtyards.

Powerful auras gathered in the sky, speeding toward the same direction.

Looking from afar, the entire Liu Family sky seemed to be raining a reverse meteor shower, countless streams of light trailing various colors of brilliance, pouring overwhelmingly toward the Star Pavilion pierced by the golden pillar of light.

And on the periphery of the Treasure Vault.

A large number of Liu Family Disciples who arrived first had already gathered.

They surrounded the Star Pavilion, looking up at the golden pillar of light piercing out from the top floor of the Star Pavilion, their faces filled with shock and excitement without exception.

Noisy discussions rose one after another.

Merging into a buzzing wave of sound.

"It really is the Treasure Vault! Someone is having a Breakthrough in the Treasure Vault!"

"That pillar of light has such terrifying energy; even from so far away, the Spiritual Qi in my body is trembling!"

"Did you feel it? There is dragon might in that pillar of light! It is the pressure of a True Dragon! I have lived for so many years and have never felt such a pure Dragon Clan pressure!"

"Grand Tutor Dongxuan! It must be that Grand Tutor Dongxuan! Hasn't the Family Head been accompanying Grand Tutor Dongxuan to choose treasures in the Treasure Vault these past few days? The color of that pillar of light and the aura of the dragon might are exactly the same as the aura of that True Dragon Beast in the Ancestral Grounds before!"

"Heavens, that True Dragon Beast is having a Breakthrough! Having a Breakthrough inside the Treasure Vault!"

"Quick, quick, quick! Move closer! I want to see that golden pillar of light with my own eyes! This is a True Dragon having a Breakthrough; if I miss this time, I probably won't see a second one in my life!"

The crowd gathered more and more, screams, discussions, and shouts intertwined, turning the entire area around the Treasure Vault into a pot of boiling porridge.

New streams of light fell from the sky from time to time, and every time a stream of light revealed its figure, it would cause a commotion among the surrounding Disciples.

"Look! It's Grand Elder Liu Lie! The Grand Elders are all here!"

"Over there! It's Elder Mo and Great Master Master Fu Shan! The two Grand Tutor Level masters are also here!"

"Where is the Family Head? Where is the Family Head? The Family Head should be inside the Treasure Vault, right?"

"mystic light mirror! There should be a mystic light mirror outside the Treasure Vault to see the situation inside! Hurry up and look, I really want to see Grand Tutor Dongxuan's beast having a Breakthrough! That's a True Dragon!"

The entire Liu Family.

Because of this sudden sky-piercing pillar of light.

Completely boiled to the extreme.

However, Jiang Yun knew nothing about all this.

At this moment, his Divine Sense was completely immersed in the Beast Taming Space, unaware of the noise and vibration outside.

He did not know that the energy fluctuations in his Beast Taming Space had broken through his body and pierced into the clouds, did not know that the entire Liu Family had exploded because of this pillar of light, did not know that countless gazes were converging on this thousand-year-old Treasure Vault from all directions, and even less did he know that the Liu Family Elders, Disciples, and Grand Elders who had been slapped in the face by him, were curious about him, or wanted to watch the fun, had surrounded the Star Pavilion tightly, three layers inside and three layers outside.

All his attention was firmly locked on the golden dragon shadow deep in the center of the lake that was undergoing a qualitative change.

Beast Taming Space, deep in the center of the lake.

Little Fire was coiled at the bottom of the lake, the golden flames around its body having expanded into a giant light cocoon with a diameter of over ten zhang.

The golden flames on the surface of the light cocoon rolled violently like living things, and each roll released a ring of visible energy ripples, pushing the lake water in all directions.

The surface of the lake in the center was already boiling, and countless bubbles surged up from the bottom of the lake, bursting into hot sprays on the water surface.

The Eclipsing Moon Rank beast core floated in front of Little Fire, and the dark red energy flowing on the surface of the core had been absorbed for the most part, leaving only a fist-sized core still continuously releasing pure Spiritual Qi.

Countless fine golden flame threads extended from the light cocoon, entangling the beast core like countless greedy roots, crazily absorbing the majestic energy contained in the beast core.

And Little Fire's Realm aura had already reached the critical point between Gold Rank and Purple Gold Rank.

One more step forward, and it would be Purple Gold.

Jiang Yun's Divine Sense was locked tightly on Little Fire, his fists clenched unconsciously.

Soon.

Immediately.

Just at this moment, a crack suddenly exploded on the surface of the light cocoon.

Immediately following, the second.

The third.

Countless cracks spread crazily on the surface of the light cocoon, and dazzling golden light burst out from the cracks, illuminating the entire bottom of the lake like daylight.

Little Fire was about to break out of the cocoon...
