92: Secret Realm of the Rising Sun

"Xiao Guangtou said to beat your younger brother early," Chu Yunshang said righteously, waving her fists.

As soon as these words came out, Hui Mei, who was standing by, felt a chill shoot straight from her spine to her head, and her pupils contracted violently.

She never expected that Chu Yunshang would directly sell him out.

"Big Brother, let me explain..."

Boom!

In an instant, the Yin-Yang Myriad Beasts phenomenon appeared, and a mighty force suppressed down, instantly pinning Hui Mei to the ground.

The Yin-Yang Myriad Beasts condensed, with a True Dragon, Golden Wing Great Peng, True Roar, and Taotie surrounding Hui Mei, beginning a brutal beating.

Hui Mei had also achieved a Breakthrough to the Refining Spirit Realm, his Mental Energy was powerful and abundant, and his Phantom Roaming Dragon Art had reached the Advanced stage. Coupled with his Physical Body, which was strong enough to rival a True Dragon Hatchling, he could instantly kill Ye Wu, and even Ye Wen would be suppressed by him. Yet, in front of the mighty power of the phenomenon, Hui Mei had no room to retaliate whatsoever.

The difference between the Advanced stage and the Major Achievement stage is like a chasm. Many God Realm cultivators who have ignited their Divine Fire haven't even managed to Cultivate top-tier Divine Abilities, let alone Cultivate a Divine Ability to Major Achievement and produce a Divine Ability phenomenon.

A God Realm cultivator with a Divine Ability phenomenon can even instantly kill a God Realm cultivator without one, which shows how vast the difference is.

Hui Mei was brutally abused, completely unable to fight back under the suppression of the Divine Ability phenomenon. His inhumane wails echoed throughout the peak of Holy Emperor Peak.

"Big Brother, that's not how it happened..."

"Ah, ah, ah..."

"Give your little brother a chance to explain."

"I was wrong, Big Brother, I was wrong, I shouldn't have incited Big Sister..."

Hui Mei's body was soft and flexible, and he immediately admitted his mistake. As soon as his voice fell, the Yin-Yang Myriad Beasts phenomenon disappeared.

"The power of a Divine Ability phenomenon at Major Achievement is even stronger than I imagined," Chu Tian mused. In fact, he had intentionally used Hui Mei to test his strength. Big Sister Chu Yunshang's strength would indeed be a better test subject, but then again, Hui Mei wasn't his biological sibling.

Just now, he had only used less than half of his Mental Energy to activate the phenomenon.

Chu Tian felt that with all his methods unleashed and at full power, he could even kill Ye Feng.

Chu Tian pondered slightly, wondering if his current strength was enough to pass what the person who set up the Eternal Sky Refining Spirit Ranking considered the limit.

Hui Mei was covered in injuries, his black clothes completely torn to shreds. He lay on the ground, panting heavily, his eyes still holding a lingering sense of horror from the mighty power of the phenomenon.

Less than a month ago, even if Chu Tian used his Heavenly Dao Eye, he could still take a few blows.

Now, just the suppression of the phenomenon left him with no room to retaliate.

Moreover, Chu Tian hadn't even used his Heavenly Dao Eye, nor that even more terrifying self-created Chaos Three Clans Small Cauldron Divine Ability.

In such a short time, the gap had become as vast as heaven and earth.

"Hehe, Xiao Guangtou, did you really think Big Sister was a pushover, daring to instigate me to suppress my little brother?"

Chu Yunshang wrinkled her nose, waved her fist at Hui Mei, and said, "Big Sister has a brain, okay?"

Chu Yunshang walked to Chu Tian's side, hugged his neck, and gave him several loud kisses on his forehead and cheeks.

"Xiao Tian, happy birthday," Chu Yunshang said, her big eyes full of happiness. She kissed Chu Tian a few more times: "Big Sister is poor and has no precious gifts to give you, so a few extra kisses will be your ninth birthday gift."

"Reward my amazing little brother more."

Smack, smack...

Chu Yunshang's mouth didn't stop, kissing Chu Tian's small face all over.

"Nine years old already?" Chu Tian's heart stirred slightly, and his gaze deepened. In the original plot, shortly after Chu Tian turned nine, Ye Fan began to rise, and the Hongmeng Saint Bone revived, marking the beginning of his own prestige as the Sect Saint being overshadowed.

It was also the starting point of the Great Hatred Demon Lord's tragedy.

Soon after, Chu Yunshang, his sister who married into the Ye Family, would have her Supreme Yin Yang Art erupt, causing her to sever emotions, fall into depravity, betray the Sect, and engage in widespread slaughter. She would be reviled by everyone on the Hengtian Continent, incurring the wrath of Heaven and the resentment of man, marking the beginning of the Chu Family's decline.

This time, everything was different.

"Hahaha, Xiao Tian, happy ninth birthday!" Chu Tianxing strode over, his face showing some fatigue but also pride. He laughed heartily, pointing at the great dao pearl suspended in the sky, saying, "Second Uncle doesn't have much ability, so I'll be presumptuous just this once and, on behalf of the Family, give you this top-tier Secret Realm as your birthday gift."

At this moment, Chu Tianyun also strode down from the mountain, walking with the vigorous steps of a Dragon and Tiger, full of vigor and spirit. He laughed loudly, "Xiao Tian, Third Uncle also has a grand gift for you!"

In his hand, he held an iron plate forged from Star Divine Iron. The plate was square, with three large golden characters, 'Appointment Letter,' shining brightly at the top. Below them were densely written small golden characters, flowing like Dragons and snakes, exuding a strong sense of majesty. It was also stamped with the seals of both the Elder Council and the Sect Master's grand seal.

"The investigation office you suggested establishing on Jitian Peak, Third Uncle fought for it in the Elder Council. The Law Enforcement Hall, Hall of Justice, Internal Affairs Hall, and War Affairs Hall — the Four Halls — will jointly dispatch their powerful cultivators to form it, possessing the authority to coordinate the power of the Four Halls."

"A good man should always have grand aspirations, dominating all realms. Third Uncle knows your ambition and took the liberty of securing the position of head of this investigation office for you, as your ninth birthday gift."

Chu Tianyun handed the appointment letter to Chu Tian, patting his shoulder vigorously, his laughter resonant, as if last night's Elder Council meeting had swept away the gloom that had accumulated in his heart over the years.

"Thank you, Second Uncle, Third Uncle." Chu Tian's expression was calm, but the hand holding the appointment letter tightened slightly, revealing his inner turmoil.

His age had always been his biggest weakness, forcing him to rely on various means to influence the Family's destiny and overturn the Ye Family's schemes.

Now, besides the empty title of Sect Saint, which held no real power, he finally had a force he could command.

"And me!" Chu Yunshang glared, very dissatisfied. She was the first to congratulate him and gave such a big gift, her lips almost swollen from kissing, yet her little brother dared to ignore her.

Chu Tian smiled slightly, "Thank you, Big Sister, for your love."

"That's more like it, you brat, at least you have some conscience," Chu Yunshang immediately beamed with joy.

At this moment, after all the main characters had appeared, Old Tuo respectfully stepped forward and said, "This old servant congratulates Young Master on his ninth birthday. This old servant has nothing of value; it is only through the Family's great kindness that I have managed to cling to life until today."

Old Tuo's eyes burst forth with substantial Divine Sense, sketching out mystical and intricate patterns in the Void Realm, finally condensing into a small black talisman the size of a thumb.

Old Tuo held up the black talisman with both hands and handed it to Chu Tian, saying in a low voice, "Young Master is extraordinarily gifted, bearing the safety and future of the Family. You grew up in the Sect's main headquarters, and now you will lead the investigation office and soon venture out to handle matters for the Sect. This old servant should follow Young Master to protect his Dao, but this old servant bears the heavy responsibility of guarding the Main Hall and cannot follow. This black talisman was drawn by this old servant's Divine Soul. No matter where Young Master is, as long as Young Master calls, this old servant can immediately sense Young Master's location and go there."

Chu Tian solemnly accepted the black talisman, saying, "Thank you, Old Tuo."

He understood the immense value of this black talisman; it was almost equivalent to having an Emperor accompanying him as a Dao protector. Looking across the Myriad Realms, no Prodigy had such treatment, to have an Emperor personally guard him.

At this moment, Chu Tianxing smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Tian, the great dao pearl and this Undying Divine Medicine seedling were obtained by you. This top-tier Secret Realm should rightfully be named by you."

"Give it a name!"

"Creating a top-tier Secret Realm is a great merit that will protect the Family for millions of years."

Chu Tian looked up at the great dao pearl, gazing towards the horizon, where the sun had already risen, shining brightly.

"Let's call it the Rising Sun Secret Realm," Chu Tian said calmly. "The rising sun signifies the beginning of all things, symbolizing a brand new start. My Chu Family will one day stand at the peak of the continent, sweeping across the Myriad Realms, illuminating all beings like a scorching sun. Now is like the eve of darkness, and a ray of scorching sun will gradually pierce through the darkness, illuminating the Myriad Realms."
