65: Senior brother has broken through to the Cave Heaven Realm!

Zhang Yang closed his eyes and continued to fuse and refine other types of Martial Skills.

In Zhang Yang's vision, every category of the Martial Scripture had a corresponding usage scenario.

For example, the Axe Scripture—Primordial Chaos: Heaven Splitting and Earth Creating that Zhang Yang had just used.

Zhang Yang had designed it specifically for scenarios like Seals; it contained a Concept that could split anything apart!

Three more days passed, and Zhang Yang's cultivation had now reached the sixth layer of the Profound Core Realm.

Furthermore, he had fused and refined another scripture: the Spear!

It also contained only one move, Angry Dragon Swirl, which Zhang Yang used to deal with opponents with extremely strong armor.

By utilizing spiral force combined with a Concept that could pierce through anything, it achieved the effect of breaking a surface from a single point!

It would be exceptionally effective when facing opponents with "turtle shell" defenses!

As he spoke, the long spear appeared in Zhang Yang's hand. Its tip spun rapidly, and with a single thrust, a large hole was instantly blasted through the liquid heaven and earth origin qi in front of him!

The spatial barrier that Xie Chonghe had originally set up to lock in the heaven and earth origin qi was pierced, leaving a small hole through which a wisp of heaven and earth origin qi leaked out.

"Not bad! To actually be able to pierce the spatial barrier I set up—in terms of breaking barriers and armor, this move is certainly among the best of Earth Rank Middle Grade Martial Skills!"

Nearby, Xie Chonghe nodded with a smile. Zhang Yang's approach was excellent; he didn't want to use a single Martial Skill for every situation, but rather aimed to maximize the advantages of various Martial Skills and weapons!

Although this spatial barrier was just something he had casually set up to prevent the leakage of heaven and earth origin qi...

...the fact that Zhang Yang could pierce even a small hole in it while only in the Profound Core Realm was truly shocking!

Seeing the power of this strike, Zhang Yang also wore a smile; his ideas had finally paid off.

The reason this move was so powerful was twofold: first, the Martial Skill he had fused and created was extraordinary, and second, it was the spear in his hand.

Recently, Zhang Yang's iron pellet had devoured many strange Ores within the Clear Wind Sect.

It had undergone a significant upgrade. Not only had its grade reached Earth Rank Low Grade, but its transformation speed had also become lightning-fast; in an instant, it could change into dozens of weapons according to Zhang Yang's will.

Furthermore, it could concentrate the properties of various minerals onto a specific part of the weapon.

For instance, just now, the spear tip had concentrated the properties of various hard and sharp Ores.

Or when Zhang Yang used Primordial Chaos: Heaven Splitting and Earth Creating, the axe would concentrate the heavy properties of certain Ores, making the entire axe extremely heavy.

It could be said that this iron pellet was truly a weapon tailor-made for Zhang Yang.

Based on the properties of this iron pellet, Zhang Yang gave it a name: myriad transformations.

Zhang Yang recovered some Origin Qi and was just about to continue fusing the scripture essentials when the space nearby distorted, and his Senior Brother, Ling Yue, appeared.

"Zhang Yang, stop your Cultivation for a moment!" Xie Chonghe waved his hand, transferring Zhang Yang from the enclosed spatial barrier to stand before him.

"Senior Brother!"

"Junior Brother, it seems your Cultivation progress is quite good!" Ling Yue saw Zhang Yang's current cultivation level at a glance; it had improved a bit too quickly!

To be able to Cultivate the Earth Rank Middle Grade Azure Nether Scripture while still in the Profound Core Realm—this advantage was simply too great!

"It's all thanks to Revered Master."

Zhang Yang nodded. If not for the abundant heaven and earth origin qi provided by Xie Chonghe, he would have had to rely on Purple Sun Pills to Cultivate, which would have been slightly slower.

"Don't mention it! You've come this time because you're ready to break through, right?" Xie Chonghe waved it off and looked at Ling Yue with a smile.

"Breakthrough!" Hearing this, Zhang Yang was startled and turned to look at his Senior Brother, Ling Yue.

From what he knew, Senior Brother Ling Yue should have reached the Ying Bian Realm Ninth Layer long ago. If he was preparing to break through now, did that mean he was breaking through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm?

"Yes, I've specifically come to invite Revered Master and Junior Brother to watch." Ling Yue nodded.

"Alright then, let's go!"

Xie Chonghe nodded. He naturally wanted to see his disciple break through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

Hearing this, Zhang Yang was also quite excited. To be able to observe a Martial Artist at the Ying Bian Realm Ninth Layer undergo the Grotto-Heaven Lightning Tribulation was a rare opportunity in the Southern Region!

With a wave of his hand, Xie Chonghe brought the two of them to a mountain peak.

On the summit of this mountain was a large platform where many people were already standing, mostly Nascent Transformation Realm and Profound Core Realm Martial Artists.

Most were various Elders of the Clear Wind Sect. Zhang Yang spotted some familiar faces among them, such as Senior Jiang Dao, Jiang Haochuan, and Du Qi... In the distance, there was another mountain peak toward which Ling Yue flew; that was the place specifically prepared in the Clear Wind Sect for Undergoing Tribulation.

Under Xie Chonghe's guidance, Zhang Yang hovered above the crowd, quietly watching Ling Yue in the distance as he prepared to undergo the tribulation.

Looking at Zhang Yang above him, a trace of envy flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes.

Du Qi clenched his fists and secretly vowed to Cultivate hard once he returned! He didn't believe he couldn't catch up to Zhang Yang!

Not far away, on the mountain peak where Sect Master Ling Yue stood...

...boundless dark clouds began to gather, and an oppressive atmosphere descended from the sky.

Ling Yue hovered at the summit, his expression calm as he stared at the dark clouds above.

"What a powerful Aura!" Zhang Yang stared at the dark clouds above the summit with a solemn expression.

Below him, many Profound Core Realm Martial Artists felt this power and felt as if they were facing the wrath of heaven itself; their bodies were trembling slightly.

Fortunately, they were all Geniuses of the Clear Wind Sect and were not overly panicked.

"Is this the Lightning Tribulation for breaking through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm? To have such power before it even descends?" Zhang Yang looked at the distant dark clouds, his heart filled with yearning.

If one could survive a Lightning Tribulation of such power, just what kind of abilities would a Grotto-Heaven Realm Martial Artist possess!

In the next instant!

The dark clouds grew even blacker, blotting out the sun and sky as if the entire world had gone dark. Within the black clouds, lightning dragons slithered! Their momentum was boundless!

Below, Ling Yue's expression also became solemn, and a saber appeared in his hand.

"To break through from the Ying Bian Realm Ninth Layer to the Grotto-Heaven Realm, the main difficulty is to use the power of heaven and earth within the Lightning Tribulation to transform one's Primordial Spirit into a Yang Spirit."

"Then, within the Sea of Consciousness at the brow, use the Lightning Tribulation to open up a grotto-heaven seed."

"Once this step is completed, one is considered to have broken through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm!"

To the side, Xie Chonghe looked toward Ling Yue and explained.

"This means the Lightning Tribulation must be almost entirely withstood by force. The physical body is one thing—after all, a Martial Artist's body is strong, and the Lightning Tribulation won't cause fatal injuries to it."

"But the Primordial Spirit in the Sea of Consciousness is different. Facing the extremely yang and rigid power of the Lightning Tribulation, it is incredibly fragile. Only by sublimating one's Concept from the ninth layer once more to reach another Realm..."

"...can one protect the extremely fragile Primordial Spirit within the Sea of Consciousness and allow it to receive the baptism of the Lightning Tribulation's power."

"Can the Ninth-layer Concept be sublimated again?"

Zhang Yang's eyes were filled with excitement; he was currently at the Ninth-layer Concept.

Recently, while fusing the myriad techniques, he also felt that his comprehension of the Concept was still progressing! He would soon reach the ninth-layer Perfection!

He wondered if, once he completely created the Martial Scripture, he could sublimate the Ninth-layer Concept to another level!

If it were truly possible, would that mean he would face no Bottlenecks when breaking through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm in the future?
