Chapter 187 Breakthrough

Such a powerful person was truly something Ye Yunyang had never seen in his entire life.

Under the intervention of the person who had acted, the Meridians within his body quickly became unobstructed, and even seemed faintly tougher than before.

At this moment, the speed and efficiency with which Ye Yunyang absorbed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi had also greatly increased compared to before.

His Cultivation Technique was naturally at its best when in a place where Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi gathered.

At this moment, it only required time to accumulate, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to successfully reach the Life Wheel Realm!

But just at this moment, Ye Shouzhen and Wu Guangrong rushed to this place.

When Ye Shouzhen saw at a glance that Jiang Chen was standing beneath the Ascension Platform, one hand held out in a void-grasp towards Ye Yunyang.

And seeing that Ye Yunyang's expression was extremely ugly at this moment, his own face became even gloomier.

He subconsciously assumed that Jiang Chen had come here to interfere with the Sect Head's Breakthrough, and that it might even be intentional!

"Scoundrel, stop!"

Ye Shouzhen roared angrily and was about to rush forward.

Wu Guangrong was more composed, but just as he wanted to speak to stop Ye Shouzhen, he realized that his figure had already rushed out.

"Senior Brother! Wait, don't act rashly!"

But it was too late; Ye Shouzhen had already struck out with a palm, attacking Jiang Chen with the force of a thunderclap!

At this moment, Jiang Chen still did not turn his head, appearing not to have noticed the incoming palm strike.

The momentum of this palm was astonishing. Before the palm force arrived, the palm wind hit first, and the terrifying palm wind rubbed the air into two streaks of white vapor.

Jiang Chen was only focused on observing Ye Yunyang's Breakthrough, paying no attention to the movement behind him.

Until the palm force clearly imprinted on Jiang Chen's back, he remained indifferent.

And Ye Shouzhen, who had been furious, suddenly changed his expression; he only felt that his palm force seemed to have branded itself onto a giant mountain.

The giant mountain did not move a single bit, yet he felt a power rebounding from the giant mountain that was even more terrifying and vast than his own palm force!

This power seemed to contain not only the backlash of his own palm force, but also a force similar to the power of Heaven and Earth, resisting him and attacking him!

When the time comes, Heaven and Earth combine their strength; when luck fades, a hero is not free!

Under this violent backlash, Ye Shouzhen's body was like a light feather, flying backwards for dozens of meters without the slightest ability to struggle or resist!

"Pfft!"

He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with shock.

At this moment, Ye Shouzhen remembered that he had clashed with Jiang Chen before at the foot of Mount Laojun, and he had been no match for him at all.

Today, he had been too worried about the Sect Head and had forgotten this, but even if he had remembered, he would have still rushed up without hesitation!

However, what terrified Ye Shouzhen even more was that Jiang Chen's strength seemed to have improved by more than just a little bit compared to that day.

Although he had been equally unable to resist that day, he hadn't had this feeling where even his own destiny was controlled by someone else.

And today's Jiang Chen was even more terrifying before him, making one completely unable to summon the desire to resist.

Wu Guangrong hurriedly stepped forward to support the retreating Ye Shouzhen.

He checked Ye Shouzhen's injuries and found them to be somewhat gruesome.

You go to hit someone, and end up having your hand broken by the force of their rebound—who can you reason with about that?

"Senior Brother Ye, I told you not to be impulsive. I think Jiang Chen is not interfering with the Sect Head; on the contrary, it seems he is helping the Sect Head with his Breakthrough."

After hearing Wu Guangrong's words, Ye Shouzhen took a careful look and realized that it indeed seemed to be the case.

Although Ye Yunyang's Aura fluctuated, the overall trend was becoming stronger and stronger.

And Jiang Chen did not show any desire to attack the Sect Head; he was likely truly helping the Sect Head.

Understanding this, Ye Shouzhen felt some shame and unease in his heart, but he kept a straight face. He lowered his head and simply sat down cross-legged on the spot, remaining silent.

Wu Guangrong knew his old friend's personality—he couldn't bring himself to apologize. He sighed slightly, feeling helpless, and decided to apologize to Jiang Chen on Ye Shouzhen's behalf later.

Sure enough, before long, a sudden, violent Aura erupted from Ye Yunyang's body.

It stirred up a gust of wind, causing Ye Shouzhen, who was sitting cross-legged and healing, to open his eyes.

Surging Spiritual Qi was absorbed into Ye Yunyang's body like a whale swallowing water, and soon, his Aura gradually stabilized.

Ye Shouzhen and Wu Guangrong were extremely happy. Although they could not discern the Sect Head's cultivation Realm, looking at the current state, it was certain that the Breakthrough had been successful!

"Hahahaha!"

Sure enough, Ye Yunyang suddenly laughed out loud twice, leaped up from the Ascension Platform to a height of three zhang in mid-air, and then his figure hovered steadily in the air!

"Congratulations, Sect Head! Congratulations! Today, our Maoshan Sect finally has a great Cultivator of the Life Wheel Realm!" the two congratulated him in unison.

"In this way, the open scheme of Mount Longhu will naturally collapse without being attacked!"

Ye Yunyang landed on the ground, restrained his smile, and shook his head slightly.

"You are mistaken."

Ye Shouzhen and the other were slightly taken aback. What did this mean? They couldn't help but think of some bad possibilities, and their expressions turned slightly ugly.

"Did the Sect Head fail the Breakthrough to the Life Wheel Realm?" Wu Guangrong asked cautiously.

"Naturally, I did not fail. I am now a practitioner at the first level of the Life Wheel Realm. With my Maoshan Dao techniques, even if it is Zhang Shanfeng, Sect Leader of Longhu Mountain, I dare to fight him!"

The two were puzzled.

"Then why did the Sect Head deny it just now?"

Ye Yunyang did not answer their question directly, but turned to look at Jiang Chen.

"Because our Maoshan Sect has a second Life Wheel Realm Cultivator, and one even stronger!"

"What?!" Ye Shouzhen and the other were incredulous. Maoshan still had a second Life Wheel Realm practitioner? How had they never heard of this?

And the Sect Head said it might even be stronger than the Life Wheel Realm?! How was this possible?

Seeing the Sect Head fix his gaze on Jiang Chen, they immediately linked the second Maoshan Life Wheel Realm practitioner that Ye Yunyang mentioned with Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was also a member of Maoshan; they already knew that his Revered Master was very likely a Disciple taken in by some past Maoshan Senior when they descended the mountain.

However, although Jiang Chen was strong, Ye Shouzhen found it hard to believe that he was a Life Wheel Realm practitioner.

After all, Jiang Chen was still so young.

If that wasn't the case, could the Sect Head mean that Jiang Chen's Revered Master was still alive? That some Maoshan Senior was still in the world?

If that were truly the case, it would be no wonder that such a powerful expert could teach a Disciple like Jiang Chen.

Ye Shouzhen and Wu Guangrong looked at each other; clearly, they were thinking the same thing.

"Disciple Ye Yunyang is the forty-fifth generation successor of Maoshan, and currently serves as the Maoshan Sect Leader."

Ye Yunyang's expression was solemn, even faintly carrying a trace of reverence, as he bowed and performed a formal salute to Jiang Chen.

His voice trembled slightly, carrying an uncontrollable excitement that was even greater than when he had broken through to the Life Wheel Realm.

"May I ask, Your Excellency, are you Jiang Chen, Ancestral Master Jiang?"
