922: Chapter 911 We All Have an Incredibly Bright Future!

Although she used to be a Heavenly Ladder Clearer as well, firmly occupying a spot among the very top tier in the East Courtyard...

But in all honesty, compared to those truly top Prodigies like Lin Ruoxi, Long Aotian, and Su Qingwan, a gap had always remained.

Whether it was the depth of her foundation or the upper limit of her ultimate combat power, she was still just a bit lacking compared to those few.

Yet now she could tell herself with absolute certainty—that tiny gap had been completely leveled.

Within the same Realm, apart from Qin Yan, a freak who completely defied common sense, she feared no one.

Thinking of this, her gaze involuntarily fell upon the white-robed figure beside her.

Even though she had now stepped into the Grandmaster Peak Realm and her strength had undergone a qualitative leap, she still could not comprehend how a person could grow to such a degree.

Being both Heavenly Ladder Clearers and having the same Cultivate time, Qin Yan had already left everyone far behind.

What kind of monster was this fellow anyway.

"We have stayed here for quite a few days, it is time to go out."

Qin Yan said.

Huang Jiuli snapped back to her senses and nodded.

Then she extended her slender palm, and that dozens-of-zhang-sized Phoenix feather slowly emerged from her palm, emitting a warm and ancient scarlet glow all over its body.

"Withdraw."

Huang Jiuli let out a low cry, and a brilliant red light suddenly surged from the Phoenix feather itself, expanding rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just the blink of an eye, it transformed into a behemoth hundreds of zhang tall, standing erect right in the dead center of this underground space like a divine Phoenix pillar descending from the heavens.

From inside the feather came a colossal and irresistible suction force, under the traction of which the boundless scarlet sea of fire all around transformed into torrents of flames.

Surging frantically toward the feather.

This Phoenix True Fire was originally the Origin fire that had dissipated from the body of that fallen True King Peak Phoenix, sharing the same roots and Origin with this feather.

At this moment, under the summon of the feather, it was entirely sucked into it without any resistance.

However, the volume of this sea of fire was indeed far too colossal.

Even though the devouring speed of the Phoenix feather was already shockingly fast, it still took nearly half a day of effort to completely absorb all of this Phoenix True Fire that had burned in the underground for who knew how many tens of thousands of years.

After the sea of fire vanished, this underground space finally revealed its original appearance.

Dark red cliff walls, dry and cracked ground, and the lingering scorching warmth left in the air that had yet to dissipate.

Qin Yan and Huang Jiuli took one last glance at this secluded place where they had stayed for dozens of days, then stopped lingering and simultaneously transformed into two streaks of light shooting straight up into the sky, flying toward the long-absent firmament above their heads.

...

Inside Chihuang Valley, on the central plaza.

Disciple after Disciple sat cross-legged on the scarlet floor tiles of the plaza, closing their eyes to absorb and exhale the dense flame Spiritual Qi within the valley, carrying out day-after-day Cultivate.

Ever since the news of the death of that otherworldly fiend Qin Yan spread across the entire Eastern Domain, these Chihuang Valley Disciples felt as if their Dao Hearts had been unblocked by an invisible force.

Their Cultivate speed seemed to have faintly improved by a bit.

"Everyone, this is rising anew after breaking."

Directly above the plaza, a white-bearded Elder stood with his hands behind his back, speaking in a resounding voice.

His gaze slowly swept across the hundreds of young and vibrant faces below, his tone filled with the earnest instruction unique to an Elder.

"Some days ago, you witnessed firsthand the monstrous slaughter caused by the otherworldly fiend Qin Yan, being suppressed by him alone to the point you could not raise your heads, forced to make a humiliating choice between submission and death—this is the so-called 'breaking'.

The Sect dignity you took pride in was trampled upon, the Elders and Saints you relied on all died in battle, and even your Dao Hearts were eroded and shaken by that fear.

Yet later on, Qin Yan died within my Chihuang Valley, and this is the 'establishing'.

The great vengeance of the Sect was avenged, the massive mountain pressing upon your hearts collapsed with a crash, and your Dao Hearts became even more resilient and transparent after experiencing these drastic ups and downs.

Breaking and then standing, all of you are people of Nirvana Rebirth, and from now on you shall possess a brand-new future."

As soon as the voice of the Elder fell, waves of enthusiastic applause and cheering sounded within the plaza.

"Elder speaks so correctly!"

"That is right, we all have an incomparably bright future!"

"In the future, we will surely bring glory to Chihuang Valley and revive the glory of the top factions in the Eastern Domain!"

These Disciples shouted loudly with flushed faces, venting all the grievances and unwillingness that had accumulated in the depths of their hearts for this period of time.

Yet right amidst these passionate cheers, a faint chuckle suddenly drifted from the Void Realm without any warning.

"Since you are all so grateful to Qin Yan, why do you not kowtow a few loud kowtows facing Qin Yan in person and properly thank him for his kindness?"

"Who is so bold, daring to utter such rebellious words here!"

"Indeed, this person dares to speak for the otherworldly fiend, their crime deserves execution!"

The Disciples on the plaza successively rebuked in anger.

Yet as they spoke, someone sensed something was slightly off.

How did this voice feel somewhat familiar, as if it had been heard somewhere before.

The crowd of Disciples instinctively looked toward the direction from which the voice came, and immediately, they saw a woman standing there in the Void Realm.

Her face was peerlessly beautiful, her features exquisite, and wearing a loose white robe could not conceal her plump figure!

Her figure appeared exceptionally dazzling in the sunlight.

"How could it be her, how could she be here!"

"Why is this otherworldly fiend still alive as well!"

The Disciples of Chihuang Valley shrieked in terror one by one.

Yet things that would terrify them even more were yet to come.

Behind Huang Jiuli, another young figure wearing a white profound robe slowly walked out from the Void Realm.

He just stood there with his hands behind his back, his expression calm as water, and those profound eyes looked down upon the faces below that had long turned pale from fright—who else could it be if not Qin Yan.

"It is the otherworldly fiend Qin Yan, he is still alive!"

"We are done for, we are completely done for!"

"Did they not say he already died in the underground sea of fire, why is he still able to come out alive!"

"I do not want to die, I do not want to die—"

Desperate crying, panicked shrieks, and the sound of teeth chattering rose one after another across the plaza.

Those passionate and stirring bold words from just moments ago all turned into the most pathetic fear at this instant.

That white-robed god of slaughter who once suppressed their entire Eastern Domain to the point they could not breathe was actually still alive.

"Qin Yan, the Disciples of Chihuang Valley just said with their own mouths that they still want to properly 'thank' you.

Thanks to you letting them experience Nirvana Rebirth through breaking and then standing, their Cultivate speed has greatly increased now."

Huang Jiuli stood to the side, crossing her arms with a teasing smile at the corners of her mouth, looking like someone enjoying a spectacle without fearing it being too big.
