Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Unpredictable Changes

Su Youyi and Liang Yi both looked towards Yu Gejing.

Here, sister Yu had the closest relationship with brother He Zhiqing, only she could decide whether to accept or not.

Yu Gejing’s expression didn’t change, still maintaining a gentle and subtle smile.

"Since brother Lv has said so much, it would seem somewhat unkind of us to refuse again, so we will accept it."

She reached out to take the Moon Chilled Spirit Pills and handed two bottles to Liang Yi and the others.

"Brother?" Su Youyi looked at Liang Yi, unsure if she should accept.

"Take it, we can’t let down the goodwill of the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool." After receiving it, Liang Yi nodded towards Lv Hongguang, acknowledging acceptance of the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool’s apology.

Hearing her brother say this, Su Youyi took the bottle from Yu Gejing’s hand and put it into her Storage Ring.

"Please wait a moment, esteemed guests from Mystic Bureau of the Immortal Dynasty and Ten Thousand Miles Mountain will arrive soon." Lv Hongguang gestured to other disciples to go about their duties, while he stayed to accompany Liang Yi and the others.

"Is it that before every Grand Competition, several Super Forces gather together?" Liang Yi asked with a sip of the special Spiritual Tea from Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool, clearly puzzled.

He thought that today he was just coming to meet an old friend with his brother, but he didn’t expect so many forces would gather.

Taoist Sect, Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool, Complete Heaven Sect, Mystic Bureau of the Immortal Dynasty and Ten Thousand Miles Mountain.

Five out of Eight!

"That’s right, in the past, only four would meet for discussion. The Banished Immortal of the Taoist Sect is joining for the first time this year," Lv Hongguang said with a smile as he found a seat.

"Do you know who is coming from Mystic Bureau of the Immortal Dynasty and Ten Thousand Miles Mountain?" Yu Gejing asked softly, she hadn’t had the chance to find out before running down the mountain with her junior.

"That... I’ve heard that the person in charge from the Mystic Bureau is Ying Tianxing, son of the Master of Mystic Bureau, but as for who came from Ten Thousand Miles Mountain, that I’m not sure of." Lv Hongguang frowned and thought for a moment, Ten Thousand Miles Mountain was too far from them, and Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool didn’t care about that.

"Ying Tianxing?" Su Youyi softly asked her brother.

"He is a leading figure among the young generation of Mystic Bureau of the Immortal Dynasty. The Immortal Dynasty is organized into six departments: Civil, Ceremonial, Military, Penal, and Work, outside of which is Mystic Bureau that oversees Shadow Guards, and Ying Tianxing is the only son of the Master of Mystic Bureau."

Liang Yi explained in a low voice.

In a previous life, Ying Tianxing did not appear often. Despite being a top genius of the Immortal Dynasty, due to the special nature of the Mystic Bureau, he mostly operated in the shadows.

The well-known young generation of the Immortal Dynasty are mostly the princes and the children of the department leaders.

"Oh, I see." Su Youyi still didn’t quite grasp the concept.

"In that case, it’s possible that Ying Tianxing might have already seen us." Liang Yi pondered as they had made some commotion in the city these past days, and if Ying Tianxing was completely unaware, he wouldn’t believe it.

He was probably secretly observing them from the dark.

"Why did you come this early this time? Isn’t it that you don’t appear until the start?" Yu Gejing’s gaze turned towards Lv Hongguang.

"Ah, isn’t your sect the same? This time our Sect Master personally wants to come, so we arrived earlier."

"Sword Master is coming in person? And what about Banished Immortal?" Yu Gejing was surprised, turning her head to ask Su Youyi.

"Master also came!" Su Youyi answered truthfully as there was no need to hide it.

"Strange, what could bring them here personally?"

"Could it be?"

"Mhm, my father has also arrived!"

········

Deep inside the Imperial Palace, the Mirror Realm.

Within the void of blank space, eight figures sat in the heavens. Each figure was distinctly visible; their mere sitting presence generated infinite pressure, even enough to slow the flow of time within the entire secret realm.

If Liang Yi were here, he would surely cry out in astonishment, and, incidentally, use the Image Retention Technique to record this scene.

Because these eight figures were none other than the Sect Leaders of the eight great Super Forces!

The Complete Heaven Sect Sect Master and the Sect Master of the Senluo Wanxiang Sect were among them, archenemies both present on the list!

Though they sat far apart and without casting so much as a glance at one another, the mere fact that these two could appear in the same place was utterly shocking.

Meanwhile, Chen Hua was snoring away, nestled between his two good buddies, Fang Zhi and Zhou Yuzhi.

"Are we all here?" A figure surrounded by a Golden Dragon asked with a detached voice, its tone like a heavenly edict, one that could make those of lesser realms prostrate at the mere sound.

"Emperor Zhou, speak plainly, what is the matter that calls for our gathering?" A voice, indistinguishable as male or female, emanated not far from Emperor Zhou.

The rest also fixed their gazes on the reigning Immortal Emperor of the Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty, even Chen Hua opened his eyes to look at him.

"You all must have felt it, haven’t you? About the Heavenly Dao!" Emperor Zhou continued with an unchanged expression.

"Are you referring to the emergence of the Heavenly Dao anomaly?" This was said by Fang Zhi, whose understanding of the Heavenly Dao ranked him among the top three seated here.

The other two being the Sect Master of the Senluo Wanxiang Sect and Chen Hua.

"While the matter of the Heavenly Dao anomaly is important, it pales in comparison to our path forward. Why feign ignorance when we all understand this clearly?"

With Emperor Zhou’s words, the others remained expressionless but chose to remain silent.

"Isn’t it just the severed Immortal Path being reconnected? Stop beating around the bush," Chen Hua casually said while picking his ear, unconcerned.

Noticing all eyes in the room fixed on him, Chen Hua released his own energy.

His presence soared, single-handedly suppressing the other seven!

"Could it possibly be?" Grand Saint of Nine Spirits couldn’t believe it.

"The Eighth Realm! It’s true!" Zhou Yuzhi gripped his Longsword tightly, affirming.

"Holy mother, how did this kid surpass me?" The Sect Leader of the Blood Control Sect exclaimed in his strange accent, shocked to the point of pulling a tuft of his red beard out.

"It’s definitely the Eighth Realm, the Taiching Realm, no mistake!" The Sect Master of the Senluo Wanxiang Sect’s eyes widened in disbelief, he never thought the shackles of the Heavenly Dao could truly be broken.

"Amithaba! Worthy of being Sect Leader Chen!" The abbot of the Zen Sect brought his hands together, bowing his head as he spoke.

Emperor Zhou gripped the armrest of his throne tightly, his eyes fixed on Chen Hua, and after a long while finally relaxed, a resigned smile shaking his head, as though this was something he should have anticipated long ago.

The entire Secret Realm trembled under Chen Hua’s pressure, the space cracking as though to shatter at any moment.

This meant that Chen Hua had reached Level 81.

If Liang Yi knew this, he would be so shocked his jaw would drop; in his previous life, the level cap hadn’t even been raised until the moment he traveled through time! This life hadn’t even reached the beta but Level 81?

"You’ve already taken that step?!" Fang Zhi looked at Chen Hua, who had retracted his energy to its usual calm, in shock. He had thought himself to be the fastest; after all, having calculated Liang Yi’s fate, his own cultivation bottleneck was about to shatter.

He was just a step away from breaking through after half a year of secluded cultivation.

He had fantasized about avenging his past humiliations and giving a good lesson to that son of a... Yet this inhuman had silently taken that step already!

"Half a year ago I went into seclusion once, and then it was done."

"Hey, isn’t breaking through this realm easy? Close your eyes and upon opening, you’re in the Eighth Realm. Don’t praise me! Don’t praise me! I’m just averagely outstanding, hahaha!"

Chen Huaxiong echoed throughout the space with his laughter.

The others exchanged glances—could a beating from seven Great Perfection Seventh Realm cultivators take down one in the Eighth Realm? How did this damn guy even survive until now?
