25: After the investiture was completed, the Holy Son stood...

The unusual atmosphere did not last much longer. The Dead Fish Eye took half a step forward and spoke, breaking the deadlock.

"Zhang Yizhi, since you refuse to come out and meet us, then so be it."

Subsequently, the Dead Fish Eye changed the subject.

"If you are willing, I can help you resolve your enmity with Black Blood Mountain City."

"But the condition is that you must have a life-and-death duel with me in one hundred years."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was suddenly enlightened. No wonder there had been no news of any pursuit since the short video was leaked.

It turned out that Black Blood Mountain City was extending an olive branch. After all, they did not want to offend such a troublesome existence to the death; they would seize even the slightest room for maneuver.

"In that case, perhaps the matter with Black Blood Mountain City can be brushed aside."

"Indeed. Zhang Yizhi is certainly powerful, but his friends and family are just ordinary people."

"In my opinion, Zhang Yizhi will definitely take the easy way out this time."

"That's right, what is a mere grudge from a pursuit worth mentioning?"

After some discussion, everyone reached this conclusion. Regardless, after today, Zhang Yizhi could rest easy.

And Black Blood Mountain City had also resolved the hatred of a future powerhouse; it could be said to be a win-win situation.

The Seven Emperor Sword Sect Holy Son's expression remained unchanged, extremely calm, and he did not care about the expressions of the few people beside him.

He was waiting. He was waiting for Zhang Yizhi's decision.

However... Zhang Yizhi was completely unaware of what was happening outside, because he was currently at the most critical moment of his Physique Awakening, with all his attention focused inside his body.

Just then, Zhang Yizhi's body suddenly emitted a dazzling light. He felt as if his body was being torn apart by a powerful force, and the pain was unbearable.

But he gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and instead urged his True Qi to accelerate the rampage of that force within his body.

"Ah!" Bang, bang, bang. Finally, the power reached its peak. Boom, boom!

From Zhang Yizhi's body, fragments fell off one by one, revealing delicate skin as smooth and lustrous as mutton-fat jade.

At the same time, an incomparable aura soared into the sky, releasing pressure accompanied by the operation of the Three Revolutions Nanhua Scripture.

At this point, Zhang Yizhi's Physique successfully advanced to the next stage: Imperial Rank Physique! Geng Metal Sword Emperor Physique!

A vast pressure flowed out from a mysterious Origin within his body, and the embryonic form of a Sword Intent that ruled the world was imprinted in Zhang Yizhi's mind at this moment.

"Imperial Sovereign Sword Intent!" Holding a sharp sword to sever life and death, I am the supreme sovereign of the world.

The power of Awakening surged into his Meridians, pushing Zhang Yizhi's cultivation to the next Realm. Foundation Establishment Realm, success!

Grade: Epic. Age: Fifteen. Root Bone: 80. Cultivation: Early Stage Foundation Establishment Realm. Physique: Geng Metal Sword Emperor Physique.

Boom, boom, boom... Zhang Yizhi was careless, and the surging aura within him was not suppressed.

Outside the treasure carriage, a massive aura swept through. Terrifying power ran rampant; sharp, murderous Sword Intent and the awe-inspiring Imperial Sovereign Sword Intent erupted simultaneously.

Strong winds and murderous intent burst forth from the treasure carriage, lifting the robes of the various Holy Sons and Holy Maidens, making a flapping sound.

Fight! Buzz, buzz, buzz. The stone sword in the hands of the Seven Emperor Sword Sect Holy Son also trembled incessantly at this moment; it was the joy of being unable to resist the urge to slaughter.

"What?" The existence inside the treasure carriage was actually so arrogant, releasing pressure so recklessly. He was crazy; he was slapping the faces of the Holy Sons and Holy Maidens of the eight great Sects.

"Is this your choice?" "I understand."

The Seven Emperor Sword Sect Holy Son's undisturbed state of mind underwent a slight change, and he immediately stepped onto his Flying Sword and returned to the Spirit Boat.

"Let's go back." "Are you not going to spar with him?" The Golden Core Elder of the Seven Emperor Sword Sect appeared behind him in the next instant.

"I am currently no match for him."

Upon hearing this, the Golden Core Elder of the Seven Emperor Sword Sect was dazed for a moment, as if he had heard something incredible. But after thinking about it carefully, since his own Holy Son had said so, he had no reason to doubt it.

The Spirit Boat started and left the Cloud Heaven Sect mountain gate. Before returning, this Golden Core Elder of the Seven Emperor Sword Sect took a deep look at the treasure carriage, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

... "Hmph." On the ground, the other seven people also snorted coldly one after another, each using their own methods to return to their Sect's Spirit Boat, and left one by one.

"He's crazy, completely crazy." Everyone was shocked. Such behavior from Zhang Yizhi was not only a slap in the face to the Holy Sons of the eight great Sects, but also completely offended Black Blood Mountain City to the death.

After today, there was no possibility of reconciliation between them. This was the Cloud Heaven Sect's disciple recruitment assembly and the day of the Cloud Heaven Sect Saint's investiture; it was originally a situation where they could have just stepped down gracefully.

But now, by pulling this stunt, wasn't Zhang Yizhi announcing to everyone in Donglin Prefecture: "I'm definitely going to destroy Black Blood Mountain City, no one can save it."

How arrogant. But, wasn't he famous throughout Donglin Prefecture precisely because of his arrogance?

"But this power—hiss—his cultivation has actually reached the Foundation Establishment Realm." "Incredible. No wonder he dared to offend the Holy Sons and Holy Maidens of the eight great Sects at the same time."

"Based on his previous performance, I'm afraid this kid, having just entered the Foundation Establishment Realm, might even be able to wrestle with a Golden Core..." If he could kill a Foundation Establishment Cultivator while at the Qi Refining stage, then once Zhang Yizhi reached the Middle Stage or Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, wouldn't he be able to kill a Golden Core? Hiss...

"He truly has the capital to be arrogant." Everyone looked solemn, watching the treasure carriage over there, unknowingly filled with admiration.

"Hahaha, this little fellow really exceeded my expectations." Above the Void Realm, the powerhouses of the Cloud Heaven Sect could not help but look over. Especially Tang Yulong, the Tenth Elder of the Cloud Heaven Sect, who shouted "Good" three times in a row.

A Saint had arrived, and he even brought two top-grade Core Disciples; wasn't this a great joyous event for his Cloud Heaven Sect? "This child shall be the Saint of our Sect!" "Quick, quick, quick, make arrangements! Bring up the Saint's Daoist robe carefully selected by the Third Elder!"

Following Tang Yulong's order, the process proceeded to the next step. Now, the entire Cloud Heaven Sect was officially holding the Saint's investiture ceremony.

Inside the carriage, Zhang Yizhi, having just stabilized his cultivation, felt refreshed and invigorated. He couldn't wait to share this good news with Qin Dong and Qin Zixuan.

But the moment he stepped out of the treasure carriage, he was tied up by several strange, high-cultivation Cultivators who came rushing towards him.

"Ah? What are you doing?" Zhang Yizhi's expression was terrified; he couldn't exert his cultivation power at all in front of them.

A certain charming and mature female Elder suddenly appeared beside him and smiled sweetly at him. "Of course, we are taking you, Saint, to be invested."

"What investiture? What Saint? I am innocent!" The other side did not respond anymore, and then a large, magnificent Daoist robe was suddenly draped over Zhang Yizhi. Immediately after, the Cloud Heaven Sect Saint's investiture ceremony began!

Everything that followed proceeded according to the items planned by the eight great Elders beforehand. Zhang Yizhi was draped in a magnificent Daoist robe. Zhang Yizhi was taken to the throne outside the Yuntian Hall. Zhang Yizhi was forced to recite an exciting speech. Zhang Yizhi inexplicably became the Saint of the Cloud Heaven Sect.

"Greetings, Saint!" "Greetings, Saint!" "Greetings, Saint!" Zhang Yizhi: ???

The entire Cloud Heaven Sect was in a frenzy. Under the momentum of this trend, even those who were dissatisfied were shocked by Zhang Yizhi's crazy actions just now. ...

Even though three days had passed, Zhang Yizhi still hadn't recovered from the shock. On the Saint Peak of the Cloud Heaven Sect, Zhang Yizhi, who had become the Saint, was not happy. He was wearing a Saint's Daoist robe made of expensive Earth Rank Materials that shone with dazzling colors.

Even at his young age, this outfit forcibly squeezed out a bit of kingly aura. How did it end up like this?

Zhang Yizhi panicked. From the moment he walked out of Huangxuan City, it was as if he had been controlled by an invisible hand. From offending Black Blood Mountain City to offending the Holy Sons and Holy Maidens of the eight great Sects, and then to being crowned the Cloud Heaven Sect Saint. It was too twisted, too terrifying.

Finally, after a brainstorming session, Zhang Yizhi reached a terrifying conclusion. Someone had been plotting against him! Pinning those groundless things and slanders on his head. Who could it be?

Zhang Yizhi paced back and forth in the hall, sorting through the events of the past three months step by step. Right, first exclude Brother Qin and Sister Zixuan. Brother Qin and Sister Zixuan have both been extremely kind to me; how could they frame me?

Then there was only one truth: Blood Fiend Young Master! It must be this guy who harmed me so badly. Zhang Yizhi's eyes widened in anger, and the killing intent in his heart was hard to quell.

... Inside the Yuntian Mountain Range, in a remote corner. There were two smaller Spirit Peaks. Although the concentration of Spiritual Qi was not very high, there was a Foundation Establishment Realm Spirit Gathering Array on the top of each peak.

These two Spirit Peaks were the residences of Qin Dong and Qin Zixuan, the Core Disciple peaks. One was named Star Peak, and the other was named Star Tear Peak.

"What is this? It sounds terrible." Standing in front of Star Peak, Qin Dong held a long sword and leaped up. Swish, swish, swish, after carving on the stone tablet, Star Peak completed its renaming project.

"I wonder if this young lady is willing to walk the path of the Dao with me?" While speaking, Qin Dong swung his arm towards the other party. Qin Zixuan looked curiously at the new Spirit Peak name, and the next moment she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

"Hmph, you're not serious." "Who wants to go with you?" Although she said that, Qin Zixuan still skillfully took his arm, and the two walked affectionately up the stairs towards the palace at the peak.

Qin Dong was now a Core Disciple and had a large amount of top-up points in his hands. As long as he was given time, he had the confidence to become stronger and stronger.

"Cultivation world, I, Qin Dong, have arrived!"
