91: You are a freak, you must establish your authority quickly

A sleepless night.

The next day.

A major announcement from Elder Peak exploded throughout the Saint Heaven Sect.

“Have you heard? Last night, Elder Peak held an expanded meeting. The Sect’s high-level officials, as well as the lower prefects, middle-level, and other important figures, were all summoned back for the meeting. It’s said that the arguments at the meeting were exceptionally fierce. The Hall of Justice Master, Chu Tianyun, angrily drew his sword, stating that if justice couldn't be served for the Chu Family, he would lead the Chu Family to rebel against the Sect and establish themselves.”

“The announcement stated that the Internal Affairs Hall Master, Ye Tianhong, Hall Master, was suspected of conspiring to persecute the Little Holy Son, and also colluding with the Ye Family’s eldest legitimate son, Ye Feng, to Cultivate the Demonic Technique, Supreme Yin Yang Art, harming the Chu Family’s legitimate daughter, Chu Yunshang. He has been apprehended and thrown into the Sin Domain Prison, to be publicly executed and have his Divine Soul extinguished within days.”

“The Internal Affairs Hall Deputy Master, Duanmu Lei, will assume the position of Internal Affairs Hall Master.”

“Due to the Sect Master’s ineffective management, which led to such a major scandal, it was unanimously agreed to remove him from the War Affairs Hall Master position. Su Muwen of the Su Family will assume the War Affairs Hall Master position.”

“Two top-tier collateral branch powerhouses from the Chu Family have been recalled from below to the Sect headquarters, to respectively assume the Deputy Master positions of the Internal Affairs Hall and the War Affairs Hall.”

“Within the two great Halls, a large number of Ye Family members were apprehended and imprisoned in the Law Enforcement Hall’s jail. A significant portion of the mid-to-high-level positions were taken over by Chu Family powerhouses, with the remainder divided among the Gu Family, Su Family, and Duanmu Family.”

“The Ye Family suffered immense losses.”

Throughout the Saint Heaven Sect, in every corner, on the main peak, and even outside the Sect, these matters were being discussed frantically.

Among these events, the Chu Family, which had been dormant for decades, once again entered everyone's sight, returning powerfully in an almost shocking manner.

Anyone slightly familiar with the history of the Saint Heaven Sect would know that the two founding Families have always held various important Hall positions.

For hundreds of thousands of years, there has never been an exception.

Some even speculated whether the Sect Master, Ye Tianxiong, would also step down, as two crucial assistants were successively apprehended, losing key positions as Masters of two great Halls.

However, someone quickly and fiercely refuted this, arguing that Sect Master Ye Tianxiong had made significant contributions over the years, and the Elder Peak’s declaration also stated that it was the Internal Affairs Hall Master, Ye Tianhong, Hall Master, who had been secretly instigating and planning, involving a group of Ye Family powerhouses who had all been imprisoned. It had nothing to do with the Sect Master and would not affect his position.

“These are, of course, earth-shattering events, but there's another inconspicuous matter with a far greater and deeper impact that you’ve overlooked.”

Amidst the fierce debate, an untimely voice suddenly spoke up.

“What far-reaching impact?”

The person said with a solemn expression, “Look closely at the last line of the Elder Council’s announcement. It states the decision to establish an investigation office, to be formed by personnel from the Hall of Justice, Law Enforcement Hall, Internal Affairs Hall, and War Affairs Hall — the Four Halls. They will strictly and severely investigate Ye Feng’s Cultivation of Demonic Technique, with no upper limit to the investigation.”

“And look at who is in charge of this investigation office.”

Soon, a Core Disciple took out the Elder Council’s announcement, turned to the last line, and then he was completely stunned.

“This…”

“Who is it? Let me see.” Someone quickly snatched the announcement, and upon seeing the name, was also stunned.

On the announcement, the last line of text read:

Head of the Investigation Office: Sect Saint Chu Tian.

Instantly, the entire place fell silent.

“Isn’t the Little Holy Son only eight years old?”

“What the hell?”

“The investigation office is established by the Four Halls, wielding immense power, capable of investigating even Grand Elders. How could such an important position be given to the Little Holy Son?”

“Doesn’t the Sect’s regulations stipulate that no matter their origin or identity, a Sect Disciple must be at least fifteen years old to hold a Sect position?”

“The Little Holy Son is just a title; he is the heir to the Sect Master’s position, but he holds no actual power.”

“The Little Holy Son should only be able to participate in internal Sect matters when he is at least fifteen.”

Soon, people throughout the Sect began to notice this small detail in the last line of the announcement, and the entire Sect was in an uproar.

“The Sect has existed for a million years, and there has never been such a precedent.”

“Is the Elder Council preparing to Cultivate a successor in advance, intending to let the Little Holy Son take over the Sect Master position early?”

“This is insane.”

“The Little Holy Son was schemed against by the Ye Family, and his own sister was induced to Cultivate the supplementary訣 of the Supreme Yin Yang Art. To have him, at such a young age, take charge of the investigation office, this is simply a world-shattering move.”

The entire Sect completely erupted.

…………

Holy Emperor Peak.

The three anomalies in the sky—the ancient and simple three-legged small cauldron of Chaos, the Nine Dragons Suppressing Prison, and the Yin-Yang Myriad Beasts—subtly rippled, slowly vanishing from sight.

“Phew!”

Chu Tian let out a long breath, slowly opened his eyes, and two chaotic three-legged small cauldrons appeared in his pupils. His solidified gaze shot into the distant lake.

After a moment of silence.

Boom!

Suddenly, the lake churned up ten-thousand-meter-high waves, spiraling into the sky with a deafening roar. A terrifying, mighty force surged, pulverizing all the surrounding boulders.

“As expected of the Beginning Realm, one of the three ancient realms. In just one night, I broke through four levels, reaching Spirit Refining fifth level. My Physical Body strength has directly doubled, reaching five million jin.”

Chu Tian looked at the chaotic spirit orb in his mind, which was now the size of an adult’s fist. It contained Mental Energy as vast as an ocean, boundless and endless. With a slight movement, terrifying fluctuations emanated, as if they could directly burst out of Chu Tian’s mind and shatter mountains.

Chu Tian understood that this was not an illusion; his spirit was solid. Currently, this spiritual chaotic orb was an extremely powerful spiritual weapon. An ordinary Body Integration Realm cultivator would be directly crushed to death by it.

Moreover, it wasn't just his mind; the Qi and blood within his body surged like an abyss. Every single hair seemed to have been tempered into a fierce weapon, even stronger than blades or longswords. This was a manifestation of his Physical Body’s terrifying strength and condensation.

Just like the True Dragon clan, a single scale from an adult True Dragon is an extremely precious Artifact Refining material. Chu Tian’s single hair could now be used to refine sturdy silver needle weapons, extremely durable, and infused with rich Dao essence. Any Artifact Refiner could easily refine them, and their power would undoubtedly be extraordinary.

Chu Tian softly exhaled, and it sounded like a Dragon’s roar, containing a powerful deterrent force.

“Spirit Refining fifth level, solidified spirit, five million jin of Physical Body strength. With all of these stacked, the power of a single punch from me, without needing the Heavenly Dao Eye, and without even needing to use the three Divine Abilities, can directly reach fifty million jin.”

“To kill Lin Jie, only one punch is needed. Even if Hui Lian were present, she absolutely couldn’t save him.”

“At full power, combined with the Heavenly Dao Eye and the superposition of the three Divine Ability anomalies, I can even fight Ye Feng.”

“Especially the Myriad Daos Cauldron, which melts Myriad Daos and has infinite potential.”

Chu Tian looked at the chaotic three-legged small cauldron standing beside the chaotic orb in his mind, emitting a supreme aura. On it were imprinted the two anomalies of the Supreme Yin Yang Great Dao Art and the Prison Suppressing Dragon Emperor Art.

“The more top-tier Divine Abilities I Cultivate, and the stronger the Dao essence I comprehend, the sturdier the Myriad Daos Cauldron will become. Its potential is limitless. When I become an Emperor, it will undoubtedly be the strongest Divine Ability in all realms, perhaps even without equal.”

At this moment, Chu Yunshang’s murmuring voice came from beside him:

“Little Tian, I want to challenge you.”

Chu Tian raised an eyebrow and asked, “Why?”

“Because you’re a monster. I feel like if I don’t fight you soon, I won’t be able to beat you anymore,” Chu Yunshang said, hands on her hips, her tone righteous.

“While I can still beat you, I need to establish my prestige as the big sister.”
