118: God Realm Giant Kyushu Shock

“Boom—!”

Thunder collided, emitting dazzling electric light. The Void Realm was covered by purple electric light, and space instantly twisted.

A vast Aura surged, gushing out like a tide, wave after wave.

Wu Wuji’s figure was also submerged by the lightning.

Han Li and the others were instantly forced back several steps.

“Pfft—!”

From within the lightning, a sound of spitting blood emerged. As the lightning dissipated, a figure appeared in the Void Realm before everyone’s eyes.

Wu Wuji!

Before him, the purple Magic Treasure also flickered with a dim light.

The power of the final Heavenly Tribulation surpassed the previous ones.

However, this Heavenly Tribulation was ultimately blocked.

Wu Wuji successfully Underwent Tribulation!

The swirling tribulation clouds in the Void Realm disappeared, and a vast Aura permeated the area.

It swept across the entire Cultivation ground.

At this moment, countless eyes looked towards Wu Wuji in the Void Realm.

He succeeded!

The Heavenly Tribulation disappeared, and Wu Wuji successfully stepped into the God Realm.

This leap was like a heavenly chasm.

On the Peak of Tiandu Peak, Luo Xuan’s Face instantly turned extremely pale as he looked at Wu Wuji above the Cultivation ground.

Beside him, the Xuandu Peak Revered Master was also stunned.

His gaze fixed on Wu Wuji in the distant Void Realm, his body seemed to stiffen, unmoving.

“He succeeded…”

Luo Xuan murmured, his pale Face devoid of any color.

“Brother Luo, it seems you are bound to admit your mistake,” the Xuandu Peak Revered Master said from the side.

Luo Xuan lowered his head, not speaking, closing his eyes, his Face extremely pale.

“I know what to do,” he said in a light voice, as if a large part of his spirit had been drained.

His figure moved, and he disappeared directly from the Peak.

Only the Xuandu Peak Revered Master remained in place… “He succeeded!”

“Senior Brother successfully entered the Divine Aperture Realm,” Baili Changqing and Yan Qingfeng both showed joy on their Faces.

Han Li also came back to his senses.

The Grand Elder then burst into brilliant laughter.

“Hahahahaha, good, good! My Qingyuan Sect finally has another God Realm Supreme!”

The Grand Elder’s Face was beaming with smiles, and Han Li and the others also showed brilliant smiles.

“Whoosh—!”

In the Void Realm, Wu Wuji’s figure moved, instantly appearing before them.

“Cough cough…”

His complexion was pale, blood still stained the corner of his mouth, and his Aura was extremely unstable. Yet, even so, it far surpassed his Aura at his previous Peak.

From Peak of the Acquired Realm to Divine Aperture Realm.

This was a huge leap.

Not only did his strength surge, but his Lifespan would also increase by several hundred years.

Stepping into the ranks of the God Realm, he would also become a new Martial Dao giant.

“Senior Brother, are you alright?” Yan Qingfeng asked with concern, looking at Wu Wuji.

“Cough cough… I’m fine, I won’t die. I need to rest and recuperate,” Wu Wuji coughed.

The others nodded, and Wu Wuji, without any further words, disappeared before them.

Watching Wu Wuji disappear, they took a while to come back to their senses.

“Excellent! Now, even if we perform poorly at the Nine Provinces Tournament, it won’t matter.”

The Grand Elder said with a radiant smile.

“Nine Provinces Tournament?”

Hearing this, Han Li glanced at the Grand Elder.

However, he didn’t ask anything further.

Then, the Grand Elder looked at them and said, “Wu Wuji needs to stabilize his Realm now. You all stay at the Cultivation ground for now, to protect him. Han Li, come with me, I have something to tell you.”

“Alright.” Yan Qingfeng and Baili Changqing nodded. Han Li looked at the Grand Elder, feeling a bit strange, but still nodded.

Then, he and the Grand Elder walked together and quickly left Senior Brother’s Cultivation ground.

Watching Han Li and the Grand Elder leave, Yan Qingfeng and Baili Changqing also disappeared into the back mountain… Wu Wuji successfully Underwent Tribulation and entered the God Realm. Under countless gazes, this news instantly spread throughout the entire Sect, and a storm immediately erupted.

The last one to Undergo Tribulation was Wu Wuji’s Revered Master, but unfortunately, he failed. However, this Disciple directly surpassed his Revered Master, stepping into the God Realm.

Taking this step meant transcending everything.

Wu Wuji became the youngest God Realm Supreme in the Qingyuan Sect.

A God Realm Supreme, even for a large School like the Qingyuan Sect, had a huge influence.

Thousands of people witnessed the successful Undergoing Tribulation. This news not only spread within the Qingyuan Sect but also spread at an even faster rate throughout the Wu Dynasty… Deep within the Qingyuan Sect, in a palace, Han Li appeared with the Grand Elder.

When they arrived at a spacious courtyard behind the palace, the Grand Elder stopped, waved his hand, and the entire courtyard instantly activated the Formation’s light.

“Hmm?”

Seeing the Grand Elder activate the courtyard’s Formation light, Han Li was startled.

“Grand Elder, what do you mean by this?” Han Li asked, puzzled, looking at the Grand Elder.

“Don’t worry, I just want to test your strength. How about this, you attack me once, unleashing your strongest martial arts,” the Grand Elder said to Han Li.

Huh?

Hearing this, Han Li was instantly stunned, looking at the Grand Elder with a bewildered expression.

He called him here just for this?

Was the Grand Elder sick?

“Go ahead and attack, don’t hesitate. After this test, I can tell you what’s next,” the Grand Elder said.

Han Li frowned, looking at the Grand Elder, unsure what he was up to.

But his impression of the Grand Elder was still good.

If he used his strongest martial arts, he might injure him.

“Attack, don’t hesitate,” the Grand Elder said again.

Han Li, helpless, stood still, and the Innate Protective Aura within his body instantly erupted.

Power surged and flowed. Behind him, a phantom of an Ancient Dragon Elephant manifested.

A powerful Aura instantly swept over.

“Grand Elder, please defend yourself well.”

Han Li’s voice rang out. As soon as his words fell, a Dragon roar echoed through the courtyard. Behind him, eight white Dragons manifested, their Aura towering.

Holy crap!

Seeing this scene, the Grand Elder couldn’t help but curse inwardly. He had already sensed a dangerous Aura and instantly activated the True Qi to defend his body.

The white Dragons roared, their divine light dazzling. In an instant, Dragon roars reverberated. Han Li punched out, and the white Dragons transformed into a dazzling golden seal, directly smashing towards the Grand Elder.

An extreme sense of oppression swept over, and the Grand Elder’s eyelids twitched wildly.

“Boom—!!!”

The courtyard trembled. If not for the Formation, the entire courtyard would have been instantly reduced to ashes.

However, even so, some of the buildings in the courtyard were instantly destroyed by the shockwave, and the central pavilion was directly shattered.

Visible waves of impact swept through, one after another.

“Pfft—!”

The Grand Elder’s body was slammed against the wall. Fortunately, there was a Formation for defense, otherwise, it would have been directly destroyed.

He spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered down from the wall.

Looking at Han Li, the Grand Elder’s chest heaved, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

He had thought it was a sure thing, but the power unleashed by this strike almost overwhelmed him.

How could this kid’s strength be so abnormal?

Han Li’s figure moved, instantly appearing before the Grand Elder.

“Grand Elder, are you… alright?” Han Li asked, looking at the Grand Elder, whose mouth was bleeding.

The Grand Elder shook his head, coughed twice more, and wiped the blood from his mouth.

“I’m fine.”

“You just used your full strength, didn’t you?” the Grand Elder asked, looking at Han Li.

“Sort of, about eighty or ninety percent,” Han Li nodded.

Grand Elder: “…”

Eighty or ninety percent… In a real battle, could it be that even he was no match for Han Li?

Even Wu Wuji back then wasn’t this abnormal.

Could this guy be the Reincarnation of some Immortal?

The Grand Elder’s heart twitched as he looked at Han Li, but more than that, he was delighted.

With Han Li’s strength, his performance in the Nine Provinces Tournament would definitely not be bad. At the very least, it wouldn’t be as bad as the previous times for the Qingyuan Sect.

Thinking of this, a faint smile involuntarily appeared on the Grand Elder’s Face.

Han Li: “…”

Looking at the Grand Elder’s smile, Han Li’s heart twitched.

Was this Grand Elder stimulated by Senior Brother’s successful Undergoing Tribulation today?

“Grand Elder?”

Han Li waved his hand, and the Grand Elder quickly returned to his normal expression, taking Han Li’s hand and heading towards another courtyard.

Arriving at another courtyard, the Grand Elder led Han Li to the central pavilion within the courtyard.

He took out a pot of wine and two jade cups, pouring the wine.

A fragrant aroma permeated the air.

“Come, have a drink,” the Grand Elder said, raising his cup with a beaming smile.

Han Li felt even stranger, but still raised his cup and took a sip.

“Grand Elder, can you tell me now?” Han Li asked, looking at the Grand Elder.

“Hmm, sit down first, we’ll talk slowly,” the Grand Elder gestured, and Han Li sat down.

Pouring another cup of wine, the Grand Elder looked at Han Li and said, “Han Li, do you know about the Nine Provinces Tournament?”

“Nine Provinces Tournament…”

Han Li pondered for a moment, vaguely remembering seeing some information about it in that book.

However, he wasn’t clear about the specific details.

Han Li shook his head, and the Grand Elder spoke again, “It’s like this: the Nine Provinces Tournament is a grand event established a thousand years ago by several hegemonic great Sects. It’s also the first grand event of the Nine Provinces and has been passed down for a long time. Originally, any School in the Nine Provinces could participate in this event, but after some time, due to some reforms, it evolved into an event where only great Sects with a God Realm Supreme could participate. Other Schools without a God Realm Supreme could only send some people to observe. This is the origin of the Nine Provinces Tournament.”

“I see…”

Han Li nodded, looking at the Grand Elder, his mind racing like lightning.

With the Grand Elder saying this, he seemed to understand something.

“Grand Elder, did you test my strength because you want me to participate in this Nine Provinces Tournament?”

The Grand Elder nodded: “Precisely.”

As he spoke, he took a sip of wine, put down his cup, and looked at Han Li, saying, “The Nine Provinces Tournament is held every ten years. Each School sends ten Disciples to participate. I’ve already decided that once the Sect Leader returns in a few days, I’ll announce that you will be one of the ten.”

Han Li frowned. He wasn’t too keen on such a grand event.

However, the Grand Elder had already decided, and refusing would not look good.

“Are you looking forward to it?”

The Grand Elder said with a smile.

Han Li: “…”

Looking forward… What am I looking forward to?

“Your strength is very good. Participating in this Nine Provinces Tournament will definitely be a great contribution to the Sect, at least much better than the previous times.”

The Grand Elder spoke.

"Grand Elder, how much longer until the Nine Provinces Tournament begins?" Han Li asked, looking at the Grand Elder.

Grand Elder: "About a little over a month."

"If you can perform exceptionally at the Tournament, the Sect's rewards will surely not disappoint you."

The Grand Elder looked at him and said.

Han Li held his wine cup and silently took a sip.

Since things had been said to this extent, refusing would clearly mean not giving Face.

"Grand Elder, may I ask, is killing allowed at the Nine Provinces Tournament?"

Han Li asked.

The Grand Elder shook his head: "That is certainly not allowed. This is merely a sparring match between Disciples of various great Sects. Crippling or injuring is fine, but killing is definitely not allowed."

"What a pity..." Han Li sighed.

Grand Elder: "..."

"The Nine Provinces Tournament, as it has evolved, is now set in stone. The rewards for the Tournament are quite generous."

Looking at Han Li, the Grand Elder said.

"The first-place winner even gets a Dao Artifact as a reward!" the Grand Elder added.

"Dao Artifact reward!"

"That generous?!" Han Li's pupils slightly contracted.

The Grand Elder smiled: "Of course, it's a grand event held once every ten years, not a joke."

Han Li regained his composure and realized he was right.

Among the Nine Provinces, the sparring between top Schools would naturally not have stingy rewards.

However, a Dao Artifact as a reward, that was indeed very generous.

The power of a Dao Artifact was immense.

Besides a Martial Artist's own martial arts and Divine Ability, top-tier Magic Treasures also provided significant assistance.

Magic Treasures were also a part of one's strength.

Although a Martial Artist in the Innate Realm would find it difficult to fully unleash the power of a Dao Artifact, even being able to activate a portion of its power was quite good.

Dominating the Innate Realm would not be an issue.

Even powerful Dao Artifacts could contend with the God Realm.

"Currently, apart from You Province, all other provincial great Sects will participate. This is also a rare grand event, and you can get to know all the other provincial great Sects," the Grand Elder said, looking at Han Li.

Han Li nodded lightly... An hour later, he left the Grand Elder's Dao field.

Through an hour of explanation, Han Li thoroughly understood every aspect of the Nine Provinces Tournament.

Each provincial great Sect would send ten Disciples to represent their respective Sects.

To fight for the Sect!

The rewards, it could be said, were very enticing.

And the top ten rewards of the Nine Provinces Tournament became more generous with each higher rank.

Although You Province currently had no top Schools, the Three Demonic Sects were not local forces and naturally would not be included.

However, the other eight provinces combined still had over a dozen top great Sects.

Among them, the strongest great Sect was the Cangjian Palace Sect.

Cangjian Palace, the only top Sect in Azure Province, governed an entire province.

Whether in overall strength or top-tier strength, it was much stronger than Qingyuan Sect.

Cangjian Palace alone had ten God Realm Supremes.

Nine Grand Elders.

Plus the Sect Leader!

Among the Nine Provinces of the Wu Dynasty, it was considered the strongest Sect.

Within the Azure Province where Cangjian Palace was located, it could be said that no unrest occurred.

There were no bandits or mountain brigands, making it the most stable province among the Nine Provinces.

A large part of this reason was due to Cangjian Palace.

And this force was also very ancient, having been established for over a thousand years.

Its Disciples frequently won championships in the Nine Provinces Tournament.

Besides Cangjian Palace, there were other top great Sects in the Nine Provinces that governed a province, such as Jiang Province, where he had been.

Tai Xuan Sect!

Although slightly inferior to Cangjian Palace, its strength was also very formidable.

There were seven God Realm Supremes in the Sect.

Its Disciples had also won championships in the Nine Provinces Tournament.

The strength of other Schools should not be underestimated either.

In fact, the former Qingyuan Sect was also extremely glorious, even comparable to Cangjian Palace.

However, a disaster erupted in Qingyuan Sect several hundred years ago, causing Qingyuan Sect to be severely weakened, with two or three God Realm Supremes falling. Since then, it has been in decline.

And that disaster, as learned from the Grand Elder, was because a God Realm-level Grand Elder was bewitched by a Heavenly Gu, leading to Qi Deviation, causing massive destruction. This Grand Elder had already Cultivated to the Primordial Spirit Realm, a God Realm Peak existence, whose strength almost surpassed all other Grand Elders, and even the Sect Leader was slightly inferior. He had already comprehended the Peak of the Acquired Realm of the Saint Realm. This Qi Deviation almost caused Qingyuan Sect to be annihilated.

It was only at the cost of three fallen God Realm Supremes that he was finally suppressed and killed.

Three God Realm Supremes died, and half of the Disciples were wiped out, shaking Qingyuan Sect's Foundation.

It was an unprecedented disaster in Qingyuan Sect's history.

The current Grand Elders were also about to Face the Five Declines of Heaven and Man.

If they failed again, Qingyuan Sect would be completely devastated.

However, Wu Wuji's Breakthrough also revitalized the entire Qingyuan Sect with new vitality.

It also made it understandable why the Grand Elder was so overjoyed.

The other two Grand Elders had already reached the point of the Five Declines of Heaven and Man and would not last much longer.

Relying solely on the Sect Leader, a single God Realm Supreme, the pressure would be unimaginable.

Wu Wuji's Breakthrough brought new vitality, and Qingyuan Sect gradually revealed its glory.

One God Realm Supreme was more important than a hundred True Disciples.

They were truly pillar-level figures.

A School without a God Realm Supreme, no matter how glorious it was before, its demise was only a matter of time.

Such situations were not unheard of.

Before the establishment of the Three Demonic Sects, You Province also had a hegemonic great Sect.

But later, this great Sect was invaded by a mysterious force, and its God Realm Supreme eventually fell, causing this great Sect to naturally crumble.

After this great Sect collapsed, You Province became even more chaotic.

Later, the Three Demonic Sects rose from the chaos, dominated You Province, and became the current overlords of You Province.

And rumor has it that the mysterious force that dismantled this great Sect was the power behind the Three Demonic Sects, the Eternal Sky Sect!

Whether it was true or false, no one knew.

This was just a rumor.

However, the "Divine Chaos Incident" in Qingyuan Sect's history was real.

If that Grand Elder had not been bewitched by the Heavenly Gu, with his talent, achieving the Supreme Paragon was not impossible.

If so, Qingyuan Sect would not be in its current situation; it could not only unify Qing Province but also sweep across the Nine Provinces without issue.

The gap between a Supreme Paragon and the God Realm was even greater.

An existence that controlled the Law of heaven and earth.

A true God among men... Returning to Yuhua Peak, Han Li was not in a hurry to Cultivate.

It was a rare chance to relax. Senior Brother's Breakthrough to the God Realm was a huge joyous event for the Yuhua Peak lineage and even the entire Qingyuan Sect.

Han Li was also very happy that Senior Brother surpassed him.

It was not just the glory of the Yuhua Peak lineage, but the glory of the entire Qingyuan Sect... A few days passed, and the news of Wu Wuji's Breakthrough to the God Realm completely spread to various major forces throughout the Nine Provinces.

The entire Nine Provinces stirred up a storm.

Wu Capital, Imperial City.

Imperial Study.

Outside the door, a purple-robed old man appeared, looked at the eunuch at the door, and said: "Eunuch Xu, please inform Your Majesty that I have an important matter to report."

"Grand Tutor, please wait a moment. This old servant will report to Your Majesty immediately." Eunuch Xu nodded, then turned and entered the Imperial Study, soon coming out again.

"Grand Tutor, please." The purple-robed old man nodded, then stepped into the Imperial Study... In the Imperial Study, in front of the window, a middle-aged man in a golden Dragon robe stood.

And this middle-aged man in a golden Dragon robe was the current Emperor of the Wu Dynasty, Emperor Jianwu!

As the purple-robed old man stepped into the Imperial Study, Emperor Jianwu turned around.

Revealing a majestic Face.

Between his brows, an imperial Aura emanated.

The purple-robed old man stepped forward to salute, and Emperor Jianwu directly said: "Grand Tutor, there is no need for such formality."

"Thank Your Majesty!" the purple-robed old man saluted.

Emperor Jianwu looked at the purple-robed old man and said: "Grand Tutor, what brings you here?"

The purple-robed old man bowed and said: "Your Majesty, news has come from Qing Province."

"Speak." Emperor Jianwu uttered a single word.

The purple-robed old man paused and said: "The news from Qing Province is about Qingyuan Sect. Qingyuan Sect's Yuhua Peak Revered Master, Wu Wuji, has already Undergone Tribulation and entered the God Realm."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Emperor Jianwu looked at the purple-robed old man, his eyes narrowing.

"When did this happen?"

Emperor Jianwu said indifferently.

"Just two days ago," the purple-robed old man replied.

"What do you think, Grand Tutor?" Emperor Jianwu asked.

"Approaching the Nine Provinces Tournament, Wu Wuji's Breakthrough will inevitably cause other Sects to be shaken again. However, this old servant believes this is a good thing."

The purple-robed old man said.

"One more God Realm is indeed a good thing. Our Wu Dynasty also has one more Supreme," Emperor Jianwu nodded.

The purple-robed old man nodded: "The Eternal Sky Sect's invasion of You Province has established deep roots. At this time, the emergence of another Supreme will surely make the Eternal Sky Sect wary."

"The Eternal Sky Sect's reach is already very long; it's time to exert some force and cut it off," Emperor Jianwu said indifferently.

"Is Your Majesty preparing to issue an order for action?" The purple-robed old man looked at Emperor Jianwu.

Emperor Jianwu: "No rush for now. Let's wait until after the Nine Provinces Tournament. How about this, issue an order to send a congratulatory gift to Qingyuan Sect in the name of the imperial court."

"Yes." The purple-robed old man nodded.

"What needs attention still needs attention. I believe you know how to handle it," Emperor Jianwu said, looking at the purple-robed old man.

"This old servant understands. I will go and handle it now. Then, Your Majesty, I shall take my leave first," the purple-robed old man said.

"Hmm, go." Emperor Jianwu nodded, and the purple-robed old man then turned and left.

"Wu Wuji..."

"Could the Wu God Race have a connection with him...?" Looking at the Void Realm, Emperor Jianwu murmured to himself.

Twelve thousand, please support!!!
