119: Level Breaking Abyss Rift

A few days passed, and the Sect Leader returned to the Sect, directly appointing Wu Wuji as the new Grand Elder.

From Yuhua Peak Peak Master to Grand Elder, he directly took a step across. Even when seeing the Sect Leader, he was on equal footing, a treatment only Grand Elders received.

Strength determined status.

When the news of the appointment spread, no one was surprised. After all, breaking through to the God Realm Supreme, let alone in the Qingyuan Sect, even in any other major Sect, would grant one the status of a Grand Elder.

His strength was undeniable.

No one would be unconvinced.

The leap between the Xiantian Realm and the God Realm was so great that it extinguished any jealousy.

On the day of the appointment, the Tiandu Peak Peak Master, in front of all the Peak Masters and Elders, directly apologized and admitted his mistake to Wu Wuji.

Wu Wuji accepted the apology and did not make things difficult for the Tiandu Peak Peak Master.

After all, their status and strength were now completely different.

As a God Realm Supreme and a Grand Elder, he was already a Senior to everyone in the Qingyuan Sect.

Among those of the same rank, there might be conflicts, but between a Senior and a junior, such conflicts naturally wouldn't occur.

To put it bluntly, if Wu Wuji were to truly act, probably only the Sect Leader and the two Grand Elders could stop him, and even then, they might not necessarily intervene.

After all, one was an Peak of the Acquired Realm, and the other was a God Realm Supreme with endless potential. Logically, the Sect Leader and the Grand Elders would not side with Tiandu Peak.

As long as he didn't do something that angered both gods and men, there would basically be no impact.

The news spread quickly, and in the following days, the Qingyuan Sect was filled with a lively atmosphere.

Other major Sects all sent people with congratulatory gifts.

Among them, the Wu Dynasty court also sent congratulatory gifts, making the Qingyuan Sect even more bustling.

Wu Wuji's name not only deeply ingrained itself in the heart of every Qingyuan Sect Disciple but also became known in other provinces.

The birth of a God Realm Supreme greatly enhanced the overall reputation of the Qingyuan Sect.

His fame spread far and wide!

...

Half a month passed.

The Qingyuan Sect gradually returned to calm.

On Yuhua Peak, behind the mountain, dazzling golden light shone, and eight Azure Dragons materialized behind Han Li, exuding a magnificent Aura.

It was as if true Dragon Clan had descended upon the human world, and the air was compressed by the Azure Dragon's Aura.

"Roar—!"

A clear Dragon roar shook the Void Realm, and with a single punch, eight Azure Dragons instantly transformed into golden divine Seals, directly striking the Void Realm.

"Boom—!!!"

The air collapsed, and wherever the golden Seal passed, cracks appeared in the Void Realm. Destructive fluctuations spread, the sea of clouds in the sky was utterly destroyed, and vast fluctuations impacted the entire Yuhua Peak.

Heaven and Earth trembled.

Han Li stood at the Peak of the back mountain, looking at the disappearing golden Seal and the gradually healing spatial cracks, a satisfied expression in his eyes.

After more than half a month of arduous Cultivation, he had finally elevated Sky Dragon Suppressing Prison to the level of a Second Realm Divine Ability.

With a thought, Han Li immediately opened his panel.

name: Han Li.

Realm: Xiantian Second Realm Early Stage!

martial arts: Qing Yuan Skill Earth Rank High Grade (Peak Perfection 11%) Life-奪ing Spear Technique Earth Rank Medium Grade (Perfection) Ben Lei Fist Earth Rank Low Grade (Perfection) Dragon Elephant Overlord Body Art Heaven-Rank Low Grade (Mastery 84%) Dragon Elephant Divine Fist Heaven-Rank Medium Grade (Perfection) Taiqing Shadowless Swordplay Earth Rank High Grade (Perfection) Kun Peng Transformation Art Heaven-Rank Medium Grade (Perfection)

Divine Abilities: Thunder Gods Wrath (Third Realm 10%) Peerless Might of Heaven and Earth (Second Realm 12%) Sky Dragon Suppressing Prison (Second Realm 1%) Taiqing Sword Intent (Second Realm 3%) Devouring Heaven and Earth (First Realm 31%!)

"Breakthrough..."

Staring at the panel, Han Li's eyes were bright.

As he had guessed, Sky Dragon Suppressing Prison had broken through, and Dragon Elephant Divine Fist had also reached Heaven-Rank Medium Grade.

For Heaven-Rank Martial Arts, even a small grade difference meant an astonishing gap in power.

Top-tier martial arts were extremely difficult to improve.

With Dragon Elephant Divine Fist reaching the level of Heaven-Rank Medium Grade martial arts, its power became even more terrifying.

With the same Cultivation and the same strength, the martial arts power unleashed would be completely different.

"I wonder what level Dragon Elephant Overlord Body Art will reach..."

Staring at the panel, a thought flashed through Han Li's mind.

He hadn't yet Cultivated any Cultivation Technique to its limit.

But if his guess was correct, perhaps it would also reach its limit, evolving the Demonic Origin and improving the Cultivation Technique.

However, if that were the case, would he need to Cultivate several more Cultivation Techniques?

Focus on one, rapidly bring other Cultivation Techniques to the extreme evolution stage, and then use them to enhance the main one?

Of course, this was just his current speculation, and Han Li had not yet tried it.

But it felt like it should be this way.

"If one day Dragon Elephant Overlord Body Art reaches Perfection and can evolve the Demonic Origin, stripping away everything, then my Physical Body might not be this strong."

Han Li frowned.

His Physical Body was his strongest asset currently, allowing him to contend with the Peak of the Acquired Realm. The reason he could previously counter-kill Xiantian Second Realm Martial Artists was 98% due to his unparalleled strength.

If he were to evolve the Demonic Origin, he would inevitably lose all of this.

The Dragon Elephant Divine Embryo would be completely stripped away.

And he would no longer have invincible strength.

"Let's wait and see. Heaven-Rank Martial Arts also have enormous potential. Even if I replace it, I need something stronger to replace it with." With a firm thought, Han Li calmed the distracting thoughts in his mind.

And at this moment, outside Yuhua Peak, a long rainbow streaked through the air.

It stopped in the Void Realm outside Yuhua Peak. Han Li instantly noticed it. Standing at the Peak of the back mountain, he looked towards the Void Realm.

"Grand Elder!"

Looking at the figure in the Void Realm, Han Li was slightly startled.

He's looking for me because of the Nine Provinces Tournament?

A thought surfaced in his mind, and Han Li instantly regained his senses. Taking a step, he instantly appeared in the Void Realm outside Yuhua Peak, as if materializing out of thin air.

The Grand Elder's eyelids twitched. Looking at Han Li in front of him, his pupils slightly contracted. He couldn't even capture Han Li's trace when he appeared out of thin air just now.

"This kid, could he have obtained some Supreme Legacy?"

The Grand Elder muttered inwardly.

At this moment, Han Li's voice came.

"I didn't know Grand Elder was gracing us with his presence. Please forgive my failure to welcome you properly."

The Grand Elder quickly recovered, looked at Han Li, and said, "Han Li, come with me. The Sect Leader is waiting for you at Qingyuan Palace."

Han Li listened to these words, looked at the Grand Elder, and said, "Grand Elder, is it about the Nine Provinces Tournament?"

"Yes." The Grand Elder nodded.

Han Li got his answer and didn't ask any more questions, following the Grand Elder as they disappeared from outside Yuhua Peak.

Soon, he and the Grand Elder arrived in front of Qingyuan Palace.

Their figures descended from the sky, landing at Qingyuan Palace. Han Li tidied his clothes, then stepped into Qingyuan Palace with the Grand Elder.

As soon as he entered Qingyuan Palace, Han Li saw many figures.

The Sect Leader and his First Senior Brother were prominently among them.

Besides them, there were also his Second Senior Brother and Third Senior Brother.

There was also a familiar face, Yun Xi!

In addition, there was a Brawny Strongman, also a Disciple of the Sect Leader's lineage.

His name was Zhou Yuan.

Han Li also had some impression of him.

Han Li had no impression of the remaining few. He had met most True Disciples, but not all of them, and some he had never met. The Aura of these few were all in the Xiantian Second Realm.

Including Yun Xi, Zhou Yuan, and his several Senior Brothers, there were a total of nine people. If he added himself, that would be ten people in total.

This perfectly matched the ten slots for the Nine Provinces Tournament.

Han Li estimated that these few people should be the ones representing the Qingyuan Sect in the Nine Provinces Tournament.

"Disciple Han Li greets the Sect Leader."

Outwardly calm, Han Li stepped forward and bowed.

Everyone's gaze fell on Han Li.

"Hmm, you may take a seat first." The Sect Leader nodded.

Han Li nodded slightly, then sat on a chair beside him.

The Sect Leader's gaze swept around, then he said, "I've gathered you all today to give some instructions. The Nine Provinces Tournament will begin in less than a month, and you are the Disciples representing our Sect in the Nine Provinces Tournament."

"As expected..."

Listening to the Sect Leader, Han Li wasn't too surprised.

As he spoke, the Sect Leader looked at the Grand Elder. The Grand Elder nodded understandingly, then said, "Next, I will call out your names. Afterwards, you can get to know each other and deepen your understanding."

With that, the Grand Elder called out the first name, "Zhou Yuan!"

As soon as his voice fell, a Brawny Strongman stood up and nodded slightly. Han Li and the others also looked at him.

"Yun Xi!"

The Grand Elder called out another name, and Yun Xi stood up accordingly.

"Yuan Hong!"

Another Brawny Strongman stood up, and Han Li and the others looked over.

"Bai Xiaoxiao!" The Grand Elder called out another name. A woman in white stood up. Han Li glanced at her; her features were exquisite, and her posture was proud, not inferior to Yun Xi.

"Shang Tang!"

A chubby young man stood up, a smile on his face, nodding slightly... "Han Li!"

The Grand Elder called out the last name, and Han Li also stood up accordingly.

The few people's gazes swept over, and Han Li also smiled and nodded, then sat down.

"You few are the ten Disciples representing the Qingyuan Sect this time. In twenty days, gather here at Qingyuan Palace on time. At that time, we will depart together, understood?"

The Grand Elder said.

"Understood."

Han Li and the other ten nodded.

"Sect Leader, who will be in charge of leading the team this time?"

Bai Xiaoxiao asked.

The Sect Leader looked at her and said, "This time, Wu Wuji and the Grand Elder will lead the team."

Han Li and the others nodded.

For the Nine Provinces Tournament, every top-tier great Sect would send a God Realm Supreme. Although Wu Wuji was a newly promoted God Realm Supreme, his fame was immense. Moreover, he had always been invincible among those of the same rank. After his strength broke through to the God Realm, he was now even more unfathomable, so they naturally had no objections.

Afterward, the Sect Leader announced some other matters, and Han Li and his group then left.

Inside Qingyuan Palace, only the Sect Leader, Wu Wuji, and the Grand Elder remained.

"Grand Elder, this time, Wu Wuji will be in charge of the main matters, and you will handle other things. Try to avoid any unexpected situations." Looking at the Grand Elder, the Sect Leader said.

"Understood, Sect Leader, please rest assured." The Grand Elder nodded.

"Are there still no news from the two Grand Elders?" Wu Wuji looked at the Sect Leader.

The Sect Leader shook his head, "No news yet. After they went to the Yin Domain, there was no contact, but their life fires are still there, so there shouldn't be any major accidents."

"Sect Leader, will the two Grand Elders not enter the Underworld?" the Grand Elder asked.

"I don't know about that, and I can't stop them," the Sect Leader said calmly.

"They shouldn't be able to, right? Wasn't the Underworld already isolated in ancient times? With a human body, they probably can't break through, can they?"

Wu Wuji spoke up.

"The former Seal has loosened, and a crack has appeared in the entrance to the Underworld."

The Sect Leader said.

"I hope the two Grand Elders can find the longevity divine medicine; otherwise, they might be doomed," the Grand Elder sighed.

"The probability of finding longevity divine medicine in the Underworld is higher, but the rules of the Underworld will suppress those from the human world. Entering the Underworld will inevitably cause a great stir," Wu Wuji said with a solemn expression.

"We can't stop them now. Everything depends on fate," the Sect Leader said.

Hearing this, the Grand Elder and Wu Wuji fell silent instantly.

"Alright, even if something happens, the Qingyuan Sect won't collapse. After the Nine Provinces Tournament, I plan to go into seclusion. If I succeed, even if the two Grand Elders fail, it won't shake the Foundation of my Qingyuan Sect," the Sect Leader said calmly.

Wu Wuji and the Grand Elder looked at the Sect Leader simultaneously but said nothing.

Nodding lightly, the two then disappeared from Qingyuan Palace.

Watching their figures disappear, the Sect Leader closed his eyes, and his figure quickly vanished from the main hall... "Twenty days..."

Stepping out of Qingyuan Palace and bidding farewell to a few Senior Brothers, Han Li did not return directly to Yuhua Peak but stopped in the Void Realm, gazing in the direction of Demon Suppression Valley.

"Time is tight. It seems I'll have to wait until after the Nine Provinces Tournament to go outside."

Sighing, Han Li's figure moved, instantly disappearing from his spot.

Soon, he arrived at Demon Suppression Valley.

Entering Demon Suppression Valley, Han Li headed towards the third floor at the fastest speed.

Entering once a month, this time, he wondered if he could clear out all the Innate Demon Kings on the third floor.

Every little bit helps... Demon Suppression Valley, third floor, the sky, a hazy gray.

Desolate, silent!

The last time he came to the third floor of Demon Suppression Valley was before he went to the Underground Palace Secret Realm.

Now, returning to Demon Suppression Valley, Han Li's Heart-Nature had also changed.

The number of Innate Demon Kings in Demon Suppression Valley was also very small.

Not many, but even a small mosquito has meat.

Although it couldn't help him condense a Dragon Elephant Divine Embryo, Cultivating the Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryo was still not a problem.

Entering Demon Suppression Valley, Han Li directly flew forward, heading towards the depths of Demon Suppression Valley.

He had not thoroughly explored the third floor of Demon Suppression Valley yet.

Now, it was an opportunity... "Boom—!"

Amidst the continuous mountain ranges, a roar sounded, and a giant beast the size of a small mountain was sent flying, crashing heavily onto a mountain Peak. Instantly, the mountain collapsed, rocks flew, and dust billowed.

From within the dust, a figure stepped out, none other than Han Li.

After slaying this Elementary Demon King with one move, Han Li put away its corpse and looked into the distance.

This was his third day in Demon Suppression Valley.

He had killed quite a few Innate Demon Kings, and the blood Qi he obtained allowed him to Cultivate to the thirtieth Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryo.

However, the Dragon Elephant Divine Embryo remained unchanged; there were still only seven Dragon Elephant Divine Embryos.

His strength had reached one million two hundred thousand jun, surpassing some ordinary Peak of the Acquired Realm Martial Artists.

After three days of slaughter, the Innate Demon Kings on the third floor of Demon Suppression Valley were basically all wiped out by him.

Looking in the distance, Han Li closed his eyes in thought.

He wanted to see if there were any overlooked places on the third floor.

"There's still one more location..."

Suddenly, Han Li opened his eyes, looking towards a direction in the north.

After much thought, he used the process of elimination to rule out all the places he had been to, leaving only one place.

A deep fissure on the north side of the third floor.

This was also one of the deepest places in Demon Suppression Valley.

"Let's go take a look. If there are no Demon Kings, then so be it..."

With a firm thought, Han Li instantly activated his Kun Peng Wings, covering a hundred li in a breath, disappearing without a trace... After a moment, Han Li traversed thousands of li, arriving at a spot deep in the northern part of Demon Suppression Valley.

Looking down from the Void Realm, the earth seemed to have been split by a fissure, from which a dense demonic Qi emanated.

However, Han Li felt that this demonic Qi was somewhat different.

But he couldn't quite pinpoint what was different about it.

This fissure was unfathomably deep.

Han Li had inquired about it before, and basically, no Disciple had ventured deep into it.

This fissure was also called the Abyss Fissure, and no one knew how deep it truly was.

Once, an Innate Disciple descended a hundred li, but still couldn't reach the bottom and eventually gave up completely.

The reason was that the deeper one descended, the denser the demonic Qi became, and the demonic Qi in the Abyss Fissure seemed to interfere with one's mind. The deeper one went, the stronger the interference.

Even Xiantian martial artists couldn't resist it.

And rumor had it that this Abyss Fissure was the burial place of the Grand Elder who caused the Divine Chaos incident in the history of the Qingyuan Sect.

The former Sect Leader and several Grand Elders had jointly slain this Grand Elder, and his remains were left in the Abyss Fissure.

The strange demonic Qi here was also related to that Grand Elder's remains.

Of course, this was just hearsay. Han Li had been to the Qingyuan Sect's spiritual garden and had also seen the spiritual tomb of the Grand Elder who caused the Divine Chaos incident in the spiritual garden.

The truth of the rumors here was unknown.

After all, the Divine Chaos incident happened too long ago, more than eight hundred years ago.

At that time, even the current Sect Leader had not been born yet.

However, one undeniable point was that the Grand Elder of the Divine Chaos incident could be said to be the strongest Grand Elder in the history of the Qingyuan Sect.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to, with his own strength, cause several Grand Elders of the Qingyuan Sect to perish. The Sect Leader at that time had to rely on the Sect-protecting formation and unite with many Grand Elders, at the cost of severe injuries and near death, to completely suppress and kill him.

And that Sect Leader at the time was also a Peak Yuanshen Realm existence.

One can imagine how terrifying that Grand Elder of the Divine Chaos incident was... His gaze swept across the surrounding environment.

The surroundings were silent and desolate, with no vegetation.

This fissure was four to five zhang wide and about twenty li long.

The Abyss Fissure was covered by a layer of mist.

Like a true abyss, it was bottomless.

Han Li's figure descended from the sky, landing on the edge of the Abyss Fissure.

Looking down, it was bottomless.

"Such dense demonic Qi, there should be a Great Demon King..."

"Let's go take a look!"

With a thought, Han Li leaped, jumping directly into the Abyss Fissure.

True Qi protected his body, maintaining an extremely fast descent.

Soon, the light completely disappeared, surrounded by mist, and a strong cold Qi permeated the air.

The deeper he went, the more Han Li could feel the pervasive demonic Qi.

The demonic Qi here was indeed somewhat special.

After descending about a hundred li, Han Li felt as if his spirit was somewhat dazed.

"Buzz—!"

In his mind, the dormant Heaven and Earth Demon Seed suddenly emitted a purple light, and the spiritual daze instantly disappeared.

"This demonic Qi is indeed strange!"

Han Li remained vigilant.

If it weren't for the Heaven and Earth Demon Seed being able to clear spiritual interference, he might have fallen for it.

He continued to descend.

Han Li calculated the distance.

One hundred and fifty li, yet he still hadn't reached the bottom of the abyss.

It seemed like a bottomless pit.

The deeper he went, the denser the strange demonic Qi became, yet Han Li hadn't encountered a single Demon King.

Let alone a Demon King, he hadn't even found a single ordinary demon.

"Hehehe~"

Suddenly, a strange laugh came from the darkness.

From within the mist, a monster seemed to appear out of nowhere, heading straight for Han Li.

In the pitch-black Abyss Fissure, Han Li's gaze couldn't see very far.

He could only vaguely make out a blurry shadow.

"Buzz—!"

Han Li's Overlord Body Golden Body instantly activated, emitting a powerful light that bloomed in the darkness. The monster's phantom attacked, and in an instant, it was shattered to dust by Han Li's Overlord Body.

The Heaven and Earth Demon Seed pulsed, and a wisp of dark light surged into his body.

It wasn't blood Qi, but another kind of dark light. Han Li didn't Seal it. As this wisp of dark light entered his body, his spirit instantly vibrated. In that fleeting moment, Han Li felt his spirit had greatly improved.

This strange monster, after being killed, did not drop blood Qi, but rather a special dark light. What it enhanced was not his Physical Body, but his intangible spiritual will.

Spiritual will is ethereal, but after Cultivating to the Innate Realm, one can perceive one's own spiritual will.

And spiritual will is what is known as the Soul.

Only after Breaking through to the God Realm can one Cultivate one's own spiritual will, and the Cultivation methods for spiritual will are even rarer.

This strange monster was killed, and what was enhanced was his spiritual will.

Although it wasn't particularly obvious, the improvement in his spirit was still perceptible.

"Hehehe~"

Just as Han Li felt surprised, that strange laugh came again, and phantoms rushed towards him one by one.

He couldn't see their physical forms.

They were like shadows, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, looking quite intimidating.

A dozen monster phantoms suddenly pounced. Han Li's Golden Body vibrated, and in an instant, the dozen monster phantoms were shattered to dust.

After being killed, wisps of dark light once again surged into his body.

Han Li could instantly feel his spiritual will had greatly improved.

He could even gather his ethereal will in his mind, forming a phantom figure just like himself.

And this phantom figure was his spiritual Soul body!
