405: Breaking the record and shocking everyone!

Hearing the System's broadcast suddenly echo in his ears, Kong Wudao's brows furrowed slightly.

Although gaining so many heavenly mandate points out of thin air was a very pleasant thing, he didn't know why, but Wu Linglong developing a favorable impression of him made him particularly disgusted.

Even without much contact with that woman, he could see an innate arrogance in her eyes.

Coupled with the System panel's previous introduction of her, this woman gave him the feeling that she had a belief flowing in her bones, as if only the most excellent man in the world was worthy of her.

Yet, she never bothered to take a good look at herself to see if she was truly worthy.

She merely had a bit of good luck, Awakening a rather special Celestial Support Divine Body.

In any case, once he had squeezed out all her value as a tool and harvested Emperor Shitian's heavenly mandate points, he would send both of them to Yellow Springs.

..........

Kong Wudao's single spear strike, piercing through the vast, surging ocean, caused an enormous commotion, immediately attracting the attention of countless Cultivators.

Many Cultivators who were still crossing the sea along the stone pillars were drawn by the sudden loud noise behind them, their movements halting as they subconsciously turned to look back.

(Cold icy rain beating wildly on the face.....)

First, a sky full of mist and raindrops struck their faces.

Immediately following, surging waves directly swept many Cultivators who hadn't yet recovered into the sea, eliminating them.

Many Cultivators didn't fully understand what had happened.

Simply because the stone pillar platform they were standing on happened to be next to the vacuum aisle created by Kong Wudao, they were directly affected and instantly eliminated, utterly bewildered!

The entire Secret Realm world, moreover, fell into chaos at this moment.

........

At the same time.

At the entrance to this Secret Realm, after Kong Wudao entered, countless Cultivators who later heard the news had already gathered near the Secret Realm entrance, waiting for the first-hand information to emerge.

"I heard that Lord Emperor Shitian reached the other side of the ocean and successfully cleared the Weak Sea Secret Realm in less than an hour."

A Cultivator suddenly broke the silent atmosphere: "You say..... How long will Burial Dao take? Will he Break through Lord Emperor Shitian's record?"

"I think this matter is a bit iffy."

A Cultivator responded, "This Secret Realm is largely tied to one's Cultivation. The stronger the Cultivation, the more Law energy can be contained in the Dantian."

"Emperor Shitian, not long ago, I heard, has already Broken through to the Saint Lord Realm Fifth Level. Among our younger generation, his Cultivation is already considered the highest."

"Burial Dao hasn't been Cultivating recently; he's been staying in his Immortal Cave. His Cultivation should not be as strong as Emperor Shitian's. With a disadvantage in Cultivation, it's even more impossible for him to Break through the record left by Emperor Shitian."

"Why say so much?"

Another Cultivator suddenly jumped out: "Why don't you all place your bets here! Bet on whether Burial Dao can refresh the record again!"

As soon as these words were spoken, it immediately attracted many Cultivators who had specifically come to watch the excitement.

"Hmph! Lord Emperor Shitian is invincible! I bet four hundred thousand Spirit Stones! Lord Emperor Shitian's record will not be refreshed by a mere Burial Dao!"

As a follower of Emperor Shitian spoke first, the atmosphere quickly ignited.

"Although Burial Dao's talent and potential are stronger than Emperor Shitian's, this Secret Realm favors those with higher Cultivation, so I'll bet on Emperor Shitian!"

"Well said. It's not that I don't believe in Burial Dao, but Emperor Shitian is more cost-effective! I bet one million Spirit Stones!"

"Hmph! After being slapped in the face by Burial Dao so many times, you still haven't learned your lesson. I've already learned what it means to rein in at the brink! I bet sixty thousand Spirit Stones on Burial Dao!"

"Tsk! I thought you were so capable. Betting sixty thousand Spirit Stones? That's not even a fraction of your monthly salary, is it?"

..........

Many Cultivators placed their bets on this matter.

However, a large majority of the more stubborn people still didn't believe that Kong Wudao could directly refresh Emperor Shitian's record.

Most of them bet that Kong Wudao would not successfully refresh the record.

Just then, a charming and pleasant voice suddenly rang out.

"Fifty million Spirit Stones, bet on Burial Dao."

As soon as these words came out, the fiercely debating crowd instantly fell into dead silence, and everyone looked towards the source of the sound.

They saw Wu Lingyu, dressed in a crimson feathered dress, slowly approaching from a distance, swaying her snake-like waist.

Under the exquisite red dress, her long, slender, snow-white legs were even more eye-catching.

But at this moment, no one was admiring such a beautiful sight; they were all filled with disbelief.

Fifty million Spirit Stones?

They all knew that her relationship with Kong Wudao was extraordinary.

But betting so many Spirit Stones at once, wasn't it too exaggerated, too luxurious?

Weren't they afraid that if Kong Wudao failed, she would lose everything?

However, what the crowd didn't know was that all of this was arranged by Wu Lingyu, that "insidious" woman.

"I know Kong Wudao's strength better than anyone."

"Refreshing the record left by that little trash Emperor Shitian is probably a piece of cake."

"Now that so many 'smart' people don't know Kong Wudao's strength, I can set up this trap and harvest a wave of Spirit Stones from them."

"After these 'smart' people realize what's going on, it won't be easy to trick them anymore..."

That's right, this betting scheme was arranged by her using shills.

And almost at the same time Wu Lingyu placed her bet, without any warning, a grand and ethereal divine sound suddenly echoed above the Divine Dao Academy, clearly audible to countless Cultivators.

"The Weak Sea Secret Realm's eternal record has been successfully refreshed!"

"The record-refresher... Burial Dao!"

This voice was like the ringing of an ancient bell, instantly causing countless people's minds to go blank, even their Divine Souls were completely drawn out, unable to recover for a moment.

Many Cultivators who were still rushing towards the Weak Sea Secret Realm entrance also stood frozen in place at the same time, their faces full of disbelief.

No way...

From the time they received the news until Kong Wudao entered the Weak Sea Secret Realm to challenge it, it seemed like less than half a cup of tea's time, right?

He refreshed the record so quickly?

How did he do it?!

As countless people's minds were blank and in a daze, that ethereal and grand voice sounded again.

"Time taken: three minutes and fifty-two seconds!"

!!!??

Upon hearing this voice, countless people's minds instantly erupted with endless thunder, and they stood in a daze like clay figures, their souls completely drawn out!
