179: Chapter 179 The Primordial Qi, the Sage is Forged!

"Great Elder Yun Zhongzi."

Shen Qingyuan's voice came from within the thunderclouds, clearly reaching Great Elder Yun Zhongzi's ears.

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi shuddered and hurriedly bowed, "Senior!"

"Come over."

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi swallowed, took a deep breath, and stepped toward the thunderclouds.

His footsteps were a bit unsteady, and his face was somewhat pale.

This was the thundercloud of a Saint Tribulation, after all!

One step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi stepped into the thunderclouds.

The lightning he expected did not strike down.

The surging lightning, the roaring Thunder Dragons, actually... automatically avoided him the moment they touched his body?

"This..."

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi was stunned.

He subconsciously looked up at Shen Qingyuan.

Shen Qingyuan was standing lazily in the center of the thunderclouds, a faint, ambiguous smile hanging on the corners of his mouth.

"You shall become a Saint right here!"

The thunderclouds surged, and electric snakes danced wildly.

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi stood in the thunderclouds, his whole body stiff, his cloudy, aged eyes filled with disbelief.

He looked up at Shen Qingyuan, his lips trembling, unable to say a single word.

Become a Saint?

Here?

"Senior, I, I..." Great Elder Yun Zhongzi's voice was trembling, "What, what should I do..."

Shen Qingyuan glanced at him, "Rest assured, I am watching."

He raised his right hand, his slender fingers gently clenching in the Void Realm.

A Chaos-colored light emerged from his palm, like a burning flame, exuding an ancient, vicissitudinous, and profound aura.

The moment that light appeared, the entire thundercloud seemed to freeze.

The surging lightning and roaring electric snakes all fell silent at this moment, as if paying homage to a king.

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi's pupils constricted, staring fixedly at the Chaos-colored light in Shen Qingyuan's palm, his entire body trembling.

He did not know what that was.

But he could clearly feel that the light contained a terrifying power!

"This is..." Great Elder Yun Zhongzi's voice was hoarse, his eyes filled with shock.

"Qi of Huangchu." Shen Qingyuan said nonchalantly, "The Innate Qi born from Chaos when Heaven and Earth were first created. If a Saint consumes it, they can stabilize their Saint Dao Foundation, and even have a chance to advance further and step into the Great Saint Realm."

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi gasped, feeling as if he had been struck by lightning.

Qi of Huangchu!

The Innate Qi from when Heaven and Earth were first created!

He had only seen fragments of records about such a legendary divine object in ancient books!

It was said that most of the great figures who attained the Dao and became Saints in ancient times had been nourished by a wisp of Innate Qi, which gave them their earth-shattering cultivation later on.

However, as time passed and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi declined, Innate Qi had long since gone extinct.

In this current era, it was difficult even for a Saint to be born, let alone Innate Qi!

And now, Senior had casually taken out a wisp of Qi of Huangchu and wanted to give it to him?!

"Senior, this, this is too precious..." Great Elder Yun Zhongzi's voice was trembling, "How could this Junior possibly deserve..."

"Stop talking nonsense." Shen Qingyuan interrupted him, his tone still calm, "Open your mouth."

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi shuddered and subconsciously opened his mouth.

Shen Qingyuan flicked his finger, and that Chaos-colored Qi of Huangchu turned into a stream of light, precisely falling into Great Elder Yun Zhongzi's mouth.

The moment it entered—

Boom!

An unimaginably massive power exploded within Great Elder Yun Zhongzi's body!

The power was as vast as the sea, as ancient as Chaos, flowing down his throat into his abdomen, and surging toward his limbs and bones!

Wherever it passed, his Meridians were widened and reinforced, and the speed of his Spiritual Qi circulation was more than ten times faster than before!

His Dantian began to expand and compress, his Spiritual Qi becoming more solid and pure, as if it were about to transform into a higher level of power!

His Physical Body was also undergoing a transformation—his bones became tougher, his flesh became denser, and a Chaos-colored light faintly circulated on his skin!

"Ah—!"

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi roared toward the sky, his voice filled with both pain and excitement.

He had cultivated for two thousand years, stuck at the Peak of the Asking Dao Realm for three hundred years, and had never felt such a refreshing and exhilarating increase in power!

That Qi of Huangchu was like a key, opening the long-sealed door within his body!

"Rumble—"

In the sky, the thunderclouds surged violently!

The previously quiet lightning, as if provoked, roared crazily!

Streaks of deep blue lightning slithered and churned in the clouds, emitting deafening roars!

The Saint Tribulation—had truly arrived!

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi looked up at the sky, his cloudy, aged eyes erupting with unprecedented Battle Intent.

He had waited for this day for three hundred years!

"Come on!"

He shouted violently, his internal Spiritual Qi surging crazily, and the aura of the Peak of the Asking Dao Realm was released without reservation!

"Boom!"

The first bolt of Heavenly Thunder struck down!

As thick as a water bucket, as scorching as the sun, carrying world-destroying power, it headed straight for the top of Great Elder Yun Zhongzi's head!

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi did not dodge or evade, throwing out a punch!

His fist force whistled, carrying the power of the Qi of Huangchu, and collided head-on with the Heavenly Thunder!

"Boom—!"

An earth-shattering explosion erupted!

That bolt of Heavenly Thunder was actually shattered by his punch!

It turned into sky-filling lightning and dissipated!

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi took three steps back, the web between his thumb and forefinger split, blood flowing, but the light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter!

"Refreshing! Come again!"

He laughed toward the sky, his laughter filled with exhilaration!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The second, third, fourth...

The Heavenly Thunder struck down one after another, each thicker than the last, each brighter than the last, and each more terrifying in power than the last!

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi was covered in blood, his robes torn, his hair disheveled, looking extremely disheveled.

But his Battle Intent grew stronger, his fist techniques grew fiercer, and every punch could shatter a bolt of Heavenly Thunder!

The Qi of Huangchu circulated crazily within his body, constantly repairing his Physical Body injured by the Heavenly Thunder and nourishing his nearly exhausted Spiritual Qi.

With every repair, his Physical Body grew a fraction stronger; with every nourishment, his Spiritual Qi grew a fraction purer!

"The ninth bolt! The last one!"

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi roared hoarsely, his eyes filled with madness!

In the sky, the thunderclouds surged violently, and all the lightning gathered together, condensing into a Chaos-colored bolt of lightning as thick as a mountain!

That lightning was more terrifying than all the previous Heavenly Thunders combined!

It contained the final test of the Heavenly Dao!

"Boom—!!!"

The Chaos-colored lightning descended from the sky, striking straight at Great Elder Yun Zhongzi!

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi did not dodge or evade, his hands forming seals, and the Qi of Huangchu in his body erupted with full force!

A beam of Chaos-colored light shot out from his palms, colliding head-on with the Heavenly Thunder!

"Rumble—!!!"

The entire world trembled violently!

Mountains, rivers, and cities within a thousand miles all shook violently at this moment!

Countless Cultivators turned pale, desperately trying to steady themselves, their eyes filled with shock!

"Is, is this the Saint Tribulation?!"

"So terrifying!"

Exclamations rose one after another, and everyone was so shocked by this scene that they couldn't speak.

The lightning dissipated.

The smoke and dust cleared.

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi stood under the thunderclouds, his entire body charred black, his robes torn, his hair disheveled, like a refugee crawling out of a fire.

But he was still standing.

His back was straight, his fists were clenched, and two brilliant gleams of light shot from his eyes.

A brand-new aura slowly permeated from his body.

That aura was as vast as the sea, as majestic as a mountain, containing the most fundamental Law of Heaven and Earth.

A Saint!

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi had become a Saint!

"Hahaha—!"

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi laughed toward the sky, his laughter filled with exhilaration and excitement.

Three hundred years!

A full three hundred years!

He had finally taken this step!

"Thank you, Senior! Thank you, Senior!"

Great Elder Yun Zhongzi turned and bowed deeply to Shen Qingyuan, his voice trembling, his cloudy, aged eyes filled with gratitude.

Shen Qingyuan nodded slightly, "Not bad, the Foundation is solid, much stronger than that Tiangang Sect Old Ancestor."

The smile on Great Elder Yun Zhongzi's face grew even wider.

He looked down at his hands, feeling the brand-new power within his body, his eyes filled with excitement.

Saint Realm!

He, Great Elder Yun Zhongzi, was also a Saint now!
