Chapter 236: News of the Successor of Taiyi Holy Land’s Emergence

[A/N: We are just a few more golden tickets away from reaching another milestone!!]

The nine-colored light on Ji Siyu’s body became increasingly brilliant, and her Soul fluctuations became more vast and majestic.

Her cultivation advanced irresistibly, charging through the barrier from the Peak of Saint Realm Eighth Level to reach Saint Realm Ninth Level!

And the momentum did not slow down as she continued to charge toward an even higher level.

The expansion of her Soul Sea and the condensation of her Soul provided her with unprecedented foundation and confidence.

"Condense!"

After an unknown amount of time, Ji Siyu gave a light shout in her mind. Her Soul Sea completely stabilized, and her Soul Power was several times stronger than before.

At this very moment, some kind of shackle within her body seemed to break. Her Qi surged like a river bursting its banks, and an aura far more vast and majestic than the Saint Realm erupted from her body.

Saint King Realm First Level!

She succeeded!

The light gradually withdrew, and Ji Siyu slowly opened her eyes. Deep within her pupils, the phantom of an Ice Phoenix seemed to flash by. Her aura was now perfectly integrated, her pressure contained; she was now a Saint King Rank powerhouse.

Feeling the surging power within her and the unprecedented clarity of her Soul Sea, a joyful smile from the bottom of her heart bloomed on her exquisite face.

She secretly clenched her fist and swore in her heart:

"I will never let that existence in my Soul Sea take everything away! My husband has sacrificed so much for me; I must take control of my own destiny, protect him, and protect everything we have."

"One day, I will completely fuse her."

The increase in strength brought greater confidence and determination... Ji Siyu still needed time to consolidate her Saint King Realm.

Seeing that she was fine, Chen Chuan also began his own cultivation.

He sank his mind into his body and communicated with the mysterious pay-to-win system.

Looking at the mountain of Gold Banknotes piled up in the system space, he did not hesitate to choose to increase his cultivation.

"Consume 1.92 trillion Gold Banknotes to increase cultivation to Half-Saint Realm Ninth Level!"

Majestic energy instantly poured into Chen Chuan’s limbs and bones.

His aura surged wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye. With almost no bottlenecks, he directly crossed the various minor levels of the Half-Saint Realm, reaching the Peak of Ninth Level.

"Continue! Consume 2.4 trillion Gold Banknotes to break through to Saint Realm First Level!"

An even more vast energy flooded in, and this breakthrough carried a slight resonance with the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

Chen Chuan’s Dantian Qi Sea and the meridians throughout his body underwent a qualitative transformation, his power level leaping to a brand new height.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already a true Saint.

"I have 3.232 trillion Gold Banknotes left, which is still a bit short of the Saint King Realm."

Chen Chuan looked at the terrifying consumption required for subsequent upgrades and temporarily suppressed the idea of continuing to level up.

Being able to reach Saint Realm First Level was already a huge improvement.

In the following days, Chen Chuan accompanied Ji Siyu as she cultivated in the Taiyi Holy Land.

The two of them sometimes discussed the Dao and sometimes strolled among the spiritual mountains and beautiful waters, enjoying the rare leisure time as a couple after the turbulent storms. Their feelings grew deeper in the tranquility.

However, this peace did not last long.

After some time, a piece of news spread from the Taiyi Holy Land, like a giant boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly setting off a massive wave across the entire Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain.

The Successor of Taiyi Holy Land, the only Direct Disciple of Holy Lord Mu Qingyu, Ji Siyu, officially announced her emergence.

She intended to step into the Red Dust and challenge all the younger generation Prodigies of the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain to temper herself and forge an invincible heart.

As soon as this news came out, the world was shocked!

Major Immortal Forces and ancient orthodoxies were shaken.

The Prodigies of the younger generation were even more stirred by this sudden declaration of challenge, their infinite competitive spirit ignited.

Among those who could be called Successors of Immortal Forces or hidden monstrous talents, which one wasn’t proud and considered themselves invincible among their peers?

In their eyes, this move by the Successor of Taiyi Holy Land was undoubtedly a blatant provocation, treating the heroes of the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain as if they were nothing.

For a time, various responses and harsh words spread from all the different forces:

The pure-blooded Dragon Prince Ao Huang from the True Dragon Nest, who had just emerged with a prominent appearance and blood vitality like a dragon, let out a dragon roar that reached the clouds upon hearing the news, his voice vibrating for ten thousand miles:

"Taiyi Successor? Hmph! She merely killed an untalented waste of my Clan and dares to speak of invincibility?"

"It just so happens that this Dragon Prince was about to seek revenge against her. I didn’t expect her to deliver herself to my door."

"If she dares to come, I will certainly show her what Ancestral Dragon Power is. I’ll strip her divine bones and drain her Saint blood to console the soul of my Clan’s Dragon Prince in heaven."

The contemporary first Phoenix Maiden Feng Xi from the True Phoenix Nest, with her exquisite figure and surrounded by eternal divine fire, spoke softly under the Divine Flame Parasol Tree.

Her voice was cold and proud, spreading in all directions:

"An invincible heart? Laughable! Before my Ancestral Phoenix True Fire, all illusions turn to ash."

"Since she is seeking her own death, I will fulfill her wish. Stepping over her defeated body will perfectly validate the perfection of my Nirvana Great Dao, letting her sink forever under the divine fire of my Phoenix Nest!"

As for the most mysterious Jun Family Divine Son of the Immortal Aristocratic Family, although there was no official announcement, the news leaking from within was even more heart-stopping.

That man, hailed as an eternal monstrous talent and unfathomable Divine Son Jun Wuya, finally expressed his attitude regarding this matter.

According to reports, he only said one thing indifferently in the family’s ancient hall: "To kill a Saint of my Jun Family, one must pay with their life. Her life, I shall take."

His tone was flat, yet it carried a chill that could freeze one’s Soul.

No one doubted his determination or ability; he opened his Divine Treasury at age five, fully comprehended a Supreme Technique at age ten, and ventured alone into a Supreme Secret Realm at age fifteen.

His existence itself was a legend.

His words carried more weight than any noisy threat.

The younger generation of the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain was instantly in turmoil because of Ji Siyu’s emergence declaration. A battle for supremacy among Prodigies sweeping the entire Immortal Domain seemed unavoidable...

Inside the Cave Dwelling, Chen Chuan looked at his wife, whose aura was becoming increasingly deep and ethereal and whose face was peerless, and asked softly:

"Si Yu, this time you emerge to forge an invincible heart. The road ahead is perilous, and you are surrounded by powerful enemies. Do you really have full confidence?"

Ji Siyu smiled sweetly, the light of confidence shining in her eyes like the brightest stars in the night sky:

"Don’t worry, husband. Since I have the foundation of my previous life and have gained the opportunities of this life, if I cannot even sweep through my own generation, how can I talk about climbing to the peak of the Great Dao?"

"An invincible heart is not about being conceited, but about having the conviction and strength to move forward without looking back. I must have it."

Chen Chuan nodded; he naturally understood the reasoning behind it.

He reminded her: "Ao Huang of the True Dragon Nest and Feng Xi of the True Phoenix Nest are not easy to deal with. They both carry the legacy of the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix."

"Especially that Jun Family Divine Son Jun Wuya. This person is mysterious and unfathomable with terrifying battle records. No one can see through his depth. You must be extremely careful."

Ji Siyu walked up to Chen Chuan and reached out to straighten his collar. Her movements were gentle, but her tone was resolute:

"Even if he is the Reincarnation of an Immortal King, I have no fear. In this life, I shall sweep through all enemies and forge my path of invincibility!"

Seeing his wife’s confident and spirited appearance, Chen Chuan’s heart was full of pride and love. He held her hand and laughed:

"Good! Then I shall wait in the Holy Land for my invincible wife’s triumphant return."

"When the time comes, I will certainly make all the men in the Desolate Heaven Immortal Domain envy me, because their dream goddess, the Prodigy who swept through the contemporary age, is my, Chen Chuan’s, wife."

Hearing this, Ji Siyu’s pretty face turned slightly red, and she gave him an annoyed look.

Her eyes were full of charm as they shifted, but then they turned into absolute determination: "Smooth talker! Don’t worry, I won’t let you down."

At the same time, she thought to herself: "I won’t let ’her’ have her way either."

The ’her’ she spoke of was naturally the sleeping Divine Emperor Soul in her Soul Sea.

This training was not only to forge an invincible heart but also a race against time. She had to make herself strong enough to control everything before that Soul fully awakened and potentially took over.

The two looked at each other and smiled; everything was understood without words.

The storm was about to rise because of her, and Chen Chuan would be her most solid support and home within the storm.
