154: Chapter 154 The Great Ascension Monster is Gone in an Instant!

Jiang Yutang hadn't actually left.

She had cast the most profound Divine Concealment Secret Technique of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace, quietly hiding deep within the clouds on the outskirts of the Hehuan Sect. With an extremely complex gaze, she secretly observed that 'utterly tacky' nouveau riche Sect below.

Meanwhile, inside the Hehuan Sect, the scene remained one of romantic leisure and pleasure.

It had to be said that after ascending to the Spirit Realm, the cultivation speed for the Void Refinement Stage was indeed countless times slower than in the Lower Realm.

Even with the support of Spiritual Qi so dense it had liquefied, after several consecutive days of high-intensity Dual Cultivation tutoring, the other eleven top-grade Dao Companions and maids within the Hehuan Sect—aside from Wang Yang—remained stuck at the first level of the Void Refinement Stage, with no sign of a Breakthrough.

Fortunately, Wang Yang possessed a Heaven-Defying Heavenly Spiritual Root, and as the absolute core person of the 'tutoring,' he finally succeeded in breaking through his Bottleneck early this morning, stepping into the second level of the Void Refinement Stage!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the second level of the Void Refinement Stage!]

[The radius of the Mystic Grade Invincible Domain has increased by 1 kilometer. Current total coverage radius: 13 kilometers!]

[Ding! Due to multiple recent interactive tutoring sessions, congratulations to the host for obtaining a cumulative point reward: 65 million points!]

Listening to the System's announcement in his mind, Wang Yang, who was cuddling Bai Ningbing while catching up on sleep, turned over contentedly with a smile on his lips.

The Domain had expanded, and points had been credited; life was simply wonderful.

However, just as Grandmaster Wang was preparing to have a nice sleep-in...

Rumble—!

Above the originally peaceful wilderness, a terrifying storm of Law suddenly surged!

A grey-robed old monster with white hair and beard, exuding an Aura that could destroy heaven and earth, had actually managed to precisely lock onto the Hehuan Sect's location using a rare ancient treasure-seeking secret technique!

This grey-robed monster was surprisingly a genuine Mahayana Stage Early Stage powerhouse!

He stood proudly above the Nine Heavens, looking down with extremely greedy eyes at the Hehuan Sect, which was surrounded by Top-Grade Spirit Stones and liquid Spiritual Qi. His wild laughter shook the heavens and earth:

"Hehuan Sect? What kind of bullshit Sect is this? I've been in the Spirit Realm for tens of thousands of years and have never even heard of it! Just by the name, I can tell it's nothing decent!"

Relying on his supreme Mahayana cultivation, the old monster didn't care at all about this tacky Sect below that was only a dozen kilometers wide.

He took a direct step forward, arrogantly barging into the coverage area of the Mystic Grade Invincible Domain!

"Listen up, people inside! Today, I shall act on behalf of Heaven to eliminate you group of heretical deviants!"

The old monster's voice was like a booming bell, filled with unquestionable dominance:

"Hand over the Profound Heavenly Treasure obediently, and I might show some mercy and give you a quick death! Otherwise..."

"Otherwise your ass!"

Just as the Mahayana Stage monster was about to spout more nonsense and display his supreme Divine Ability to establish dominance, an extremely impatient and lazy curse drifted out directly from the main hall of the Hehuan Sect.

After several days of 'high-intensity work,' Grandmaster Wang, who had finally managed to get some peaceful sleep, had his morning grumpiness explode completely!

"You're too loud! Shut the hell up!"

Along with that cold shout, Wang Yang, who was sitting on the jade bed in the main hall, didn't even lift a finger. He simply moved his will within the Mystic Grade Domain.

Buzz—!

The Mahayana Stage monster, who was just about to kill and extract souls, had his voice cut off abruptly!

He discovered with utter horror that the space-time Laws around him were instantly stripped away by an absolutely irrational supreme power!

Immediately after, a terrifying crushing force, like two Major Thousand Worlds collapsing together, squeezed toward him from all directions!

"No—!!!"

Pfft!

The dignified Mahayana Stage Early Stage powerhouse didn't even have time to shout a complete last word, nor did he have time to light up his protective immortal light. His entire body was like a bug crushed by an invisible giant hand, instantly turning into a cloud of void blood mist!

A light breeze blew, the blood mist dissipated, and it was as if nothing had ever happened between heaven and earth; tranquility was restored.

"Gulp..." Jiang Yutang, who was watching from the distant clouds, witnessed this terrifying scene. She was so scared that she slumped onto the cloud bank, her body drenched in cold sweat.

What did she just see?!

A genuine Mahayana Stage Early Stage monster rushed in aggressively, and as a result, not a single person even came out of the Hehuan Sect...

That Mahayana Stage monster just mysteriously vanished?! Instantly killed?!

"This...?!" Jiang Yutang's breathing was rapid, her full chest heaving violently.

This was the Mahayana Stage! Not common cabbage!

To be able to silently crush a Mahayana Stage powerhouse to death without even showing one's face...

In the entire Spirit Realm, there were only those few supreme experts standing at the very top of the pyramid!

"It's Revered Master! Revered Master definitely made a move!" Jiang Yutang's brain worked rapidly, and the last trace of doubt in her heart vanished completely.

"That is definitely Revered Master's true body here! Otherwise, how many people in this Spirit Realm could achieve this?!"

Jiang Yutang bit her red lips tightly, her beautiful face becoming so red it looked like it might bleed.

Since Revered Master protected that man named Wang Yang to such an extent, even not hesitating to reveal her strength to instantly kill a Mahayana Stage expert, then her previous guess about the 'Revered Master's command'...

It was absolutely true! Revered Master wanted her to take the initiative to marry that Sect Master Wang!

"Since it is Revered Master's decree, Yutang... shall obey."

Although Jiang Yutang was conflicted to the extreme, as someone who had always respected her teacher and the Dao, she had already made up her mind to 'give herself away' after witnessing such dimensional-strike strength.

"It's just... this matter is truly too absurd and shameful. I... I still need to prepare a dowry..." Jiang Yutang covered her burning cheeks and turned into a streak of light, fleeing toward the distance in shame and indignation.

...

Meanwhile, the scene shifts to the other end of the Spirit Realm.

The true body of Empress Xuanhuang, Chu Lingyue, currently had a dark expression as she arrived outside the territory of her lifelong rival's power, the [Xingyan Immortal Sect].

The Sect Master of this Xingyan Immortal Sect was precisely one of the few supreme experts of the Spirit Realm, known for calculating all the heavenly secrets, [Empress Yanming] Xia Xuanji!

Chu Lingyue stood outside the Xingyan Immortal Sect's Sect Protection Array. Her jade hands were clenched tightly, and a rare trace of hesitation and struggle appeared on her beautiful face.

"If I just go in and find that bitch Xia Xuanji to perform a deduction... once she knows I'm haunted by such a shameful 'Erotic dream,' won't she laugh at me for ten thousand years? Isn't this just handing her a weakness on a silver platter for her to mock?"

Chu Lingyue bit her red lip, her heart starting to waver.

Actually, thinking about it calmly, although that mysterious 'resonance' over the past few days was shameful and hard to speak of, every time after enduring that intense afterglow, she discovered to her astonishment that her Mahayana Stage Peak cultivation, which had been stagnant for thousands of years...

Had actually shown a very slight improvement!

"Forget it, forget it! Besides the physical discomfort and the shame, it can actually improve my cultivation! Compared to being mocked by that bitch Xia Xuanji, it seems... it's not that unacceptable."

Chu Lingyue found an excuse for herself, sighed, and was about to turn around and head back.

However, the moment she turned.

Buzz—!

That familiar, bone-meltingly intense and strange sensation, like a bursting flood, once again violently swept through her entire body!

Clearly, Grandmaster Wang, who had just broken through to the second level of Void Refinement and conveniently crushed a 'fly,' had pulled Chu Lingyue's Clone into a new round of 'celebratory morning exercise.'

"Ugh... damn it! Again?!" Chu Lingyue's face changed drastically, her legs went weak, and she almost fell from mid-air.

She could no longer care about her image as an Empress. With a wave of her jade hand, she directly tore through the spatial barrier and ran to a remote location.

"Seal!" Drenched in sweat, she laid down layer after layer of the highest-level Mahayana Stage concealment Restrictions and protection arrays. Then, her whole body went limp as she bit her sleeve hard, silently enduring the continuous waves with a flushed face.

However, the Law fluctuations caused by her forceful tearing of space, though extremely brief, still did not escape the perception of the Revered Master of the Xingyan Immortal Sect.

Swish—!

The next second, above the Xingyan Immortal Sect, an exquisitely enchanting figure wearing a purple-gold starry robe appeared out of thin air.

It was precisely Empress Yanming, Xia Xuanji!

Her eyes, which seemed to contain thousands of stars, stared fixedly at the spot where Chu Lingyue had just torn space. A cold, interested smile curled on her lips.

"The Aura of that icy woman Chu Lingyue? Why did she sneak over to my doorstep? And then hurriedly tore space to hide?"

Gossip and alertness flashed in Xia Xuanji's eyes: "That dead bitch must have some big scheme! Being so secretive, let me see which mouse hole she's hidden in to do her dirty business!"
