"Then I'll trouble you, sir!"
After a moment of thought, Gong Cangtian made up his mind. Although Ye Xuan's realm was only at the fourth level of the God King, his combat power far surpassed this level. He was unsure of its exact strength, as he had never seen Ye Xuan make a move.
"Mmm."
"Before that, I think Sect Master Gong can first familiarize himself with the [Immortal Slaying Sword Array]. With your swordsman's demeanor, you will surely be able to unleash the maximum potential of this sword array. Of course, there is also the [Sun Moon Star Array]. When the two arrays are combined, it will be enough to elevate Sect Master Gong's combat power to the level of a God Monarch..."
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Gong Cangtian's pupils suddenly trembled. The fusion of the two arrays directly elevated his combat power to the God Monarch level. This was...
Clearly!
Even though Gong Cangtian had prepared himself mentally, he was still deeply shocked. This increase in combat power was no small matter.
"Thank you, sir!"
Gong Cangtian immediately bowed to Ye Xuan. This bow was not for himself, but for the mission of the Qingyun Sect and all its disciples.
"There's no time to delay, sir, why don't we..."
"Let's set off now!"
Gong Cangtian's heart was tied to the Qingyun Sect, and he tentatively asked. After all, the Qingyun Sect was of utmost importance to him, and he could not afford any oversight.
"Alright."
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. The extraterrestrial demon in the future was expected to be his formidable enemy. It would be good to test his strength now. However, he also knew that for the Qingyun Sect to have been sealed for countless years, the so-called two-winged black angel must be a remarkably powerful existence.
And so, Ye Xuan and Gong Cangtian piloted the immortal boat towards the direction of the Qingyun Sect. After learning about the synergistic effect of the [Immortal Slaying Sword Array]'s two formations, the way everyone in the Qingyun Sect looked at Ye Xuan changed. Especially after using the God-Breaking Pills, their eyes were filled with gratitude, and their reverence for Ye Xuan grew even stronger.
After all, to so easily bestow such heaven-defying methods upon others was a testament to his vision and generosity, something they themselves could not achieve.
...........
Two days later, in front of the Qingyun Sect.
*Swish~*
An immortal boat appeared at the sect. All thirty-six elders and seventy-two deacons of the Qingyun Sect were present.
"We greet you, sir!"
"Greetings, Sect Master!!"
Then, tens of thousands of elite disciples of the Qingyun Sect bowed in unison, their eyes burning with fervor as they looked at Ye Xuan. For it was this lord who had thwarted the ambitious second elder and saved their Sect Master. This was a divine grace!
"Rise."
Seeing the discerning disciples, Gong Cangtian's face showed satisfaction. "From this day forward, Lord Ye Xuan shall be your only leader."
"Anyone who disobeys, I will personally cripple them!"
His imposing aura surged, and at this moment, Gong Cangtian hid nothing. His aura, at the peak of the ninth level of the God King, just one step away from the God Monarch realm, permeated the air. Instantly, from the elders to the ordinary disciples of the Qingyun Sect, their faces became unprecedentedly solemn, followed by overwhelming joy.
The Sect Master... his strength had advanced again!!
"We dare not!!"
Tens of thousands of Qingyun Sect disciples bowed their heads. Under the pressure of their Sect Master, they naturally dared not harbor any thought of defiance. If any reckless fool were to be foolish enough to disobey at this moment, they would undoubtedly be instantly turned into a mist of blood by Gong Cangtian's palm.
"Alright."
"Let's head to the forbidden area in the back mountain first."
Looking at the subordinates of the Qingyun Sect, Ye Xuan was truly pleased. After all, what he lacked most at the moment was this core strength.
Undoubtedly!
The current Qingyun Sect perfectly filled this void~~
Lost in thought, Gong Cangtian had already brought Ye Xuan, along with the elders and deacons, to this place.
"Sect Master, why are we here?"
Obviously, apart from the two of them, the elders and deacons of the Qingyun Sect did not understand the purpose of their visit.
"Ah, I forgot to tell you."
Gong Cangtian only then remembered that the elders and deacons of the sect were unaware of the matters concerning the forbidden area in the back mountain.
Then, taking a deep breath, he looked at the forbidden area and slowly explained, "Do you all know why this place is called the forbidden area of our Qingyun Sect's back mountain?"
"It is said that at that time, the God Realm suffered an invasion by extraterrestrial demons. In that era, the myriad races of the God Realm fought fiercely against the demons. Our Qingyun Sect was also one of them. That battle lasted for an unknown number of years, and countless extraterrestrial heavenly demons were killed or sealed."
As he spoke, Gong Cangtian's gaze fell upon the forbidden area. "And in our Qingyun Sect, during that fierce battle, our Qingyun Ancestor sealed a two-winged black angel whose strength was comparable to that of a God Emperor!"
"What!!"
Hearing their Sect Master's words, all the elders and deacons changed color simultaneously, looking at their Sect Master with disbelief.
"Sect Master, you mean... the two-winged black angel recorded in the sect's ancient texts, that's not a legend!?"
Everyone then looked towards the forbidden area, filled with horror. Could it be that a being comparable to a God Emperor was sealed within? My heavens, if it were to emerge, their Qingyun Sect would be annihilated in an instant.
"However, there's no need to worry too much. After countless years, the two-winged black angel's strength has long been eroded by the formation. It is now roughly comparable to the first level of a God Monarch."
"With the assistance of Lord Ye Xuan, this will surely be our opportunity to completely eradicate the two-winged black angel!!"
"Hoo~"
Hearing their Sect Master's words, the elders and deacons of the Qingyun Sect finally breathed a collective sigh of relief. That was good.
Then, Gong Cangtian looked at the elders and deacons who had not yet used the God-Breaking Pills. He flipped his right hand, and said, "Before that, those elders and deacons who haven't used the God-Breaking Pills will first improve their realms."
"After that, by using the [Immortal Slaying Sword Array] and the [Sun Moon Star Array] bestowed by Lord Ye Xuan, we will surely destroy the two-winged black angel!!"
"Yes, Sect Master!"
The elders and deacons of the Qingyun Sect naturally understood the seriousness of the matter and immediately entered a state of cultivation. However, their gaze towards Ye Xuan became even more respectful.
Ye Xuan smiled upon seeing this, then flipped his right hand. Three hundred million low-grade divine crystals, in the midst of everyone's shocked gazes, dissolved into pure energy. Gong Cangtian was also astounded. Good heavens... such a grand gesture. They owed another immense debt of gratitude to the sir.
"Cultivate diligently and do not let down the sir's teachings!"
Under Gong Cangtian's reminder, the elders and deacons finally stabilized their minds and began to strive for breakthroughs.
One breath!
Ten breaths! A hundred breaths!!
As time passed, Qingyun Sect elders and deacons broke through one after another, and the entire Qingyun Sect was undergoing changes every moment.
Half a day later!
All the elders and deacons successfully broke through, and their gazes collectively fell upon the forbidden area.
"Good, then let's begin!"
Taking a deep breath, Gong Cangtian, under Ye Xuan's encouraging nod, formed hand seals. Just like that, the restrictions dissipated. With a flash, a group of over a hundred people appeared within the forbidden area.
*Boom!!!*
The moment they entered the area, an unprecedented roar echoed from afar, and monstrous demonic flames surged upwards. Gong Cangtian's face changed drastically. "Not good, the two-winged black angel is trying to force its way through the seal!"
"Heh heh, you little brats of the Qingyun Sect, no God Emperor can stop me once I emerge from my confinement!!"
"Hahahaha~~~"
With arrogant defiance, demonic flames surged, and a ferocious two-winged black angel appeared in the distance. Its surrounding seals were in a state of semi-collapse, with only chains binding it, preventing it from breaking free.
Seeing this, Gong Cangtian did not hesitate. "[Immortal Slaying Sword Array · Activate]!"
"[Sun Moon Star Array · Activate]!"
As the two great arrays materialized, they fused once more. Gong Cangtian's aura surged, instantly reaching the level of a God Monarch. The two-winged black angel's face turned green. "What? When did the God Realm have such a heaven-defying array? Impossible!!!"
