16: Heaven's reward, struck by lightning.

Qin Wushang sat cross-legged in the wooden house, looking at the limited great dao spirit fluid in the System space, lost in thought.

He had originally planned to use these to try and break the limits of Body Refining, to assault the supreme Realm.

Unexpectedly, through a twist of fate, he forged an invincible Dao Foundation.

"Is the Chaos Dao Body the way to break the limits of Body Refining?"

"No!"

"Breaking the limits of Body Refining means a punch of a million catties. Although I forged the Chaos Dao Body and my strength surged, it definitely hasn't broken a million catties."

"If there's a legend, then it's possible."

Qin Wushang murmured.

"I didn't expect you to enter the Extreme Body Refining Realm so quickly; it truly exceeded Revered Master's expectations."

Just then, a clear and cold voice came.

It was Chu Yuehua!

As her words fell, the temperature plummeted, making one feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

Qin Wushang immediately stood up, looked towards the door, and bowed with cupped hands.

"Wushang greets Revered Master!"

"Mm."

Chu Yuehua nodded, sweeping her gaze around.

She had stayed in this wooden house before... she hadn't expected Old Man Meng to arrange for Qin Wushang to live here.

"You haven't broken through the Extreme Body Refining Realm yet, lacking resources?"

"Replying to Revered Master, I want to attempt to challenge the legendary Realm, to break the million-catty punch."

Qin Wushang spoke directly.

He wanted to test it, to see if Chu Yuehua would truly be as Qin Zhantian said.

Was this apprenticeship premeditated?

"It's very difficult!"

"Even if you possess the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, without sufficient resources, it's very difficult to achieve that step."

"Even Revered Master, after trying for a year back then, still made no progress."

She had been Body Refining since she was in the womb, entering the Extreme Realm at one year old.

But she only opened her spiritual aperture after two years old!

This wasted more than a year, which could be said to have yielded no progress at all.

"However, since you want to try, you may, lest you leave regrets and affect your future Cultivation."

Chu Yuehua said.

Although she failed, she had no regrets.

"Om!"

As she raised her hand, the Void Realm rippled, and then her jade hand reached into the Void Realm, as if grasping for something.

"Old Huang, the Emperor Realm cannot be broken through with just one emperor medicine; it requires Opportunity and insight!"

"You are too stubborn!"

"It's impossible to succeed. Your Luck is also insufficient; you don't have that destiny."

Chu Yuehua's words merged into the Void Realm, reaching the tree hollow.

Inside the tree hollow!

Huang Wuji, who was refining the nine revolutions blood flower, opened his eyes, revealing a bitter smile.

"Little Yue, I want to try... If I can Breakthrough, Great Chu will surely ascend to another dimension, able to contend with other giants, and fulfill your father's dream."

Huang Wuji said.

If a Great Emperor appeared in Great Chu, its status would inevitably rise, and it wouldn't need to be confined to the Desolate Heaven Domain, being oppressed.

"But the Emperor's destiny will not manifest at this time; you know this better than anyone, so why deceive yourself!"

"The Great Dao is incomplete, unable to bear the Dao; how can one Breakthrough?"

"Why not give two petals to my Disciple and let him try to open an invincible path?"

As Chu Yuehua's words fell, a jade hand, reaching through the Void Realm, appeared inside the tree hollow.

Two petals fell from the nine revolutions blood flower suspended before Huang Wuji, were grasped by the jade hand, and vanished.

"Alas, the Emperor's 緣 is not with me."

"These petals given to him might create a legend, better than gathering dust in this old man's hands, and harmless to Great Chu."

Huang Wuji murmured.

He had refined the stem and leaves of the nine revolutions blood flower, but the petals had not yet been refined, yet he had only increased a little Lifespan and vital Qi, still light-years away from becoming a Great Emperor.

The turning point wasn't here, or rather, it wasn't the right time!

The Great Dao was incomplete, so no Emperor would appear!

All efforts would be in vain!

...Wooden house.

Two petals of the nine revolutions blood flower floated before Qin Wushang, emitting an incredibly rich vital Qi.

"You refine them yourself. Revered Master has some insights and needs to go into seclusion for a few days. I will choose a more powerful Cultivation Technique for you to Cultivate later."

After Chu Yuehua finished speaking, her figure disappeared.

She remained as ever, without any smile, giving off a cold feeling.

"It seems... it's not quite as it seemed."

Qin Wushang murmured, looking at the two petals before him.

He sat down and immediately began to refine them.

He no longer used the remaining great dao spirit fluid for soaking, but directly drank it in one gulp.

"Om!"

Two incredibly rich auras surged, and the entire wooden house was filled with dazzling blood-red light.

On the other side!

The Sacred King Battle of the Academy was still ongoing!

Qin Zhantian had been beaten more than ten times, and his temper flared; he could no longer tolerate it and began to fight back.

Just as the two were fighting fiercely, a terrifying pressure suddenly permeated the heavens and earth.

Both of them instantly became immobile.

The Void Realm before Qin Zhantian twisted, and a jade finger suddenly appeared, flicking his forehead.

"Bang!"

He was sent flying by a terrifying force.

He landed heavily, crashing into the rockery behind the Academy, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.

"Pfft!"

Qin Zhantian was terrified, scrambling out of the ruins.

"Empress! This subject knows his mistake!"

He immediately knelt and kowtowed, his voice trembling.

A Quasi-Emperor expert was too terrifying!

Even an attack from afar was something he, a Sacred King, could not withstand.

"Scram!"

A cold voice echoed through the heavens and earth.

Qin Zhantian scrambled away, leaving the Academy in a state of extreme disarray at the fastest possible speed.

"Rebellious son... Pfft...!"

"He's truly a scoundrel! To make the Empress personally chastise his own father, he's worse than a beast!"

Qin Zhantian left the Academy, cursing loudly.

This must have been Qin Wushang's doing!

Otherwise, why would the Empress attack him for no reason? It was all because of that little beast!

He found a spot on the few divine mountains outside the Academy and sat down to heal his injuries.

"Extreme Body Refining Realm... Heh heh, do you think you're the only one who can enter this Realm?"

"Prodigies are as numerous as carp crossing the river!"

"Chen'er entered the Extreme Body Refining Realm at eleven, he's just as good as you... Without you, my Qin Family will still become an immortal family in the future!"

Qin Zhantian grumbled... Wooden house.

Three petals of the nine revolutions blood flower entered his body, and an immensely vast vital Qi exploded within Qin Wushang!

The surging vital Qi almost made him burst.

The great dao spirit fluid followed closely, transforming into the purest Origin power, continuously expanding his Meridians.

The Great Dao Scripture operated frantically, and the Great Dao Diagram, born with the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, shone with Dao light, stabilizing Qin Wushang's Soul, preventing it from collapsing.

Every inch of his flesh and blood underwent Reincarnation between destruction and Rebirth, and his bones hummed under the unbearable pressure... Just as he felt he was about to collapse, an even more terrifying roar erupted within his body, like exploding stars.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, it seemed as if shackles within his body were breaking.

At the same time, Emperor Mountain once again stirred, and the entire heavens and earth shook violently.

The Great Dao rumbled, and boundless auspicious light filled the air; the entire Emperor Mountain became incredibly sacred.

A Great Dao Diagram appeared in the sky, emitting dazzling Dao light, receiving the power of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

At the same time, an incredibly majestic Heavenly Dao sound echoed throughout the entire Desolate Heaven Domain.

"Desolate Heaven Domain, Qin Wushang of the Great Chu Empire, has forged an invincible Dao Foundation, broken the limits of Body Refining, and shattered the unprecedented record of all ages, hereby rewarded with the Heaven Mending Art, one drop of ancestral dragon essence blood, and one Heavenly Dao blessing."

The Heavenly Dao sound resonated throughout the entire Desolate Heaven Domain, and countless living beings looked up at the sky.

They saw dazzling golden light appear in the sky, and golden characters clearly emerged one by one.

"Heavenly Dao sound... Heavenly Dao blessing... How is this possible! This is actually the legendary Heavenly Dao reward!"

"My heavens! The ancient records are true! There really is a Heavenly Dao reward!"

"Who is Qin Wushang! He's so abnormal!"

"Too abnormal! He actually broke the limits of the Physical Body, with a punch of a million catties... Is he even human?"

"Great Chu actually produced a Prodigy! How terrifying! Chu Yuehua from a thousand years ago was already Heaven-Defying, and now such an abnormal fellow has appeared again!"

"Physical Body limits! Heavenly Dao blessing... The living beings of Great Chu are blessed!"

"What does it have to do with Great Chu? The Heavenly Dao blessing only blesses the place where he was born. It can't be that the entire Great Chu can receive the blessing, right? What are you thinking?"

"The complete Heaven Mending Art is said to be able to mend even the heavens, and even turn back time! The Heaven Mending Sacred Sect gained fame throughout the Five Domains and Two Heavens with just a partial fragment! This Qin Wushang is extraordinary!"

For a time, the entire Desolate Heaven Domain was in an uproar!

Heavenly Dao rewards, Heavenly Dao blessings, these were legendary existences, yet now someone had achieved them.

Outside Great Chu Academy.

...rewarded with the Heaven Mending Art, one drop of ancestral dragon essence blood... Heavenly Dao blessing... This is impossible! This is impossible!"

As the Great Dao sound descended, Qin Zhantian stared blankly, lost in thought.

He stood rooted to the spot, gazing at the dazzling golden characters in the sky, feeling a burning pain on his face.

That rebellious son whom he had personally abandoned and whose bones he had twice dug out, had actually achieved something even the Empress had never accomplished back then!

"That little beast couldn't possibly have done such a thing... Something must be wrong somewhere!"

"A rebellious son who doesn't understand hierarchy, doesn't understand etiquette, and doesn't listen to teachings... How could he receive the Heavenly Dao's reward? How could this be... The Heavenly Dao must have made a mistake!"

"It must have been blind!"

"Boom!"

In an instant, thunder roared, and a large mountain outside the Academy was directly engulfed by heavenly lightning and exploded.

A figure tumbled within it, howling from the electric shock.
