On the flying boat, extreme vigilance was maintained!
Numerous Immortal experts of the Demonic Sect stood ready, poised for battle at any moment, because... they knew what was about to happen was of utmost importance to their old Sect Master and the entire Demonic Sect.
Not a single shred of their attention could be spared!
*Buzz~*
Just as everyone was on high alert, an extremely powerful aura rippled outwards from Yu Tu Tian, becoming miraculously stronger before the eyes of the Demonic Sect's Immortal experts.
"This is... the Old Sect Master's power is increasing!"
"Unbelievable, what on earth is that drop of golden blood, to be so miraculous?"
For a moment, Mo Ke, the second elder of the Demonic Sect, clicked his tongue in astonishment. Although he had suspected the golden essence blood was extraordinary, he had certainly not expected its efficacy to be so potent.
Keep in mind!
The Old Sect Master's realm had been stagnant at the sixth stage of Immortal for over thirty thousand years. For thirty millennia, Yu Tu Tian and the Demonic Sect had employed countless methods, yet could not break through even by a fraction. Now, all these challenges were being effortlessly resolved by that drop of golden essence blood!
Fifteen minutes later.
Suddenly, before the stunned gazes of everyone, Yu Tu Tian's realm, previously at the sixth stage of Immortal, advanced to the peak of the sixth stage of Immortal.
And this was just the beginning...
"Indeed, can Master cure Grandpa? Hehe~"
"It seems the Demonic Sect will soon be subdued by Master!"
Master's move is too awesome, he's completely found the trick to subdue the Demonic Sect. As expected of my Yu Hong Yu's master, go for it!
If Yu Hong Yu's grandfather were to know her thoughts, one wonders if he would beat her to the point where she wouldn't even recognize her parents.
Peak Sixth Stage Immortal!
Absolute peak of the Sixth Stage Immortal!!
As Yu Tu Tian's realm reached the absolute peak of the sixth stage Immortal, he consumed the [Mortal Grade·Immortal Breaking Pill]. With a resounding boom, a vast ocean of energy surged once more.
Immediately, the realm of a seventh stage Immortal was breached without resistance, and the power of a seventh stage Immortal radiated from Yu Tu Tian's body.
"This is... a seventh stage Immortal!?"
Second Elder Mo Ke's eyes widened, his heart experiencing an unprecedented surge of shock. He had actually, truly advanced to the seventh stage of Immortal, my heavens!
Not only Mo Ke, but all the other Immortal-level ancestors of the Demonic Sect were also stunned. The scene before them far exceeded their expectations.
A drop of golden essence blood and a pill, and their Old Sect Master had broken through the curse of over thirty thousand years to reach the seventh stage of Immortal. Are they sure they aren't dreaming!?
"No... could the Old Sect Master be... breaking through again!!"
"What, that's impossible... my god, the Old Sect Master has broken through and entered the peak of the seventh stage of Immortal~!!"
Before the amazement of the crowd had even subsided, Yu Tu Tian's aura in the arena intensified once more, clearly entering the realm of peak seventh stage Immortal. Let alone Mo Ke and the other Immortal ancestors of the Demonic Sect, even Yu Hong Yu herself was shocked.
"What...?"
"Grandpa, he, he's at the peak of the seventh stage Immortal! Directly from the sixth stage to the peak of the seventh stage, this!?"
Clenching her teeth, feeling a sharp pain, Yu Hong Yu's beautiful eyes widened. "It's actually true!!"
It was clear that just moments ago, Yu Hong Yu had thought she was dreaming!
"Hiss........"
It had truly succeeded, not only breaking through to the seventh stage Immortal, but to the absolute peak of the seventh stage Immortal!
"Hoo~"
At this moment, Yu Tu Tian, who was breaking through, let out a long sigh. He then opened his eyes, and in the next instant, a terrifying aura emanated, causing the entire venue to gasp for breath. This was merely an unintentional release.
If he had intended it, everyone present, except for Ye Xuan, would have immediately fainted.
What a joke!
Never mind that Yu Tu Tian was currently merely a seventh stage Immortal; even a ninth stage Immortal, or one who had entered the Immortal Lord realm, would not be able to make Ye Xuan faint.
After all, Ye Xuan's realm alone was at the peak of the second stage Immortal Lord, and his combat strength was unrivaled below the fifth stage Immortal Lord!
If it weren't for his disciple, Yu Tu Tian would not have received such a great opportunity.
"Peak seventh stage Immortal already."
Yu Tu Tian's voice, almost a murmur, echoed out. Feeling the surging power within him, he couldn't help but unleash a punch, which exploded the air with a boom, and the void above trembled violently.
The might of a single punch, terrifying indeed!
Peak seventh stage Immortal, this strength is not ordinary. This was Yu Tu Tian's first thought, feeling as if everything were unreal.
"Grandpa, you... you're at the peak seventh stage Immortal now!"
"Incredible, Master is too awesome!!"
Yu Hong Yu pursed her lips, looking at her grandfather incredulously several times before finally believing it. Of course, this scene also astonished others, including Qin Wudao.
Sixth stage Immortal, under his Master's manipulation, had directly soared to the peak of the seventh stage Immortal. He knew too well what this meant!
Yu Tu Tian smiled gently at his granddaughter, then solemnly bowed to Ye Xuan, "Young friend Ye, your great kindness is beyond repayment. Please accept this bow."
"Heh heh, Old Sir, you shouldn't do that."
Seeing Yu Tu Tian act this way, Ye Xuan curved his lips. "Old Sir is Hong Yu's grandfather, it is only right."
"Then thank you, young friend Ye."
Yu Tu Tian was certainly not someone who would repay kindness with ingratitude. "Since young friend has shown me such a great favor, I agree to join your forces."
"Oh?"
"Then I, on behalf of the Xuan Alliance, welcome you, Old Sir."
Ye Xuan was not surprised by Yu Tu Tian's joining. After all, with such gratitude, it would be strange if he didn't join.
Of course!
If that were the case, the Demonic Sect would also have lost an opportunity for soaring. These were naturally matters for later.
.............
In the Xuanwu Immortal Kingdom, Xuanwu Immortal City.
Deep within the Imperial Palace.
In a palace, two elders were sipping fragrant tea.
These two were Qin Wudi, who had traveled all the way from the Myriad Sword Sacred Land, and opposite him, an elder whose aura was even more formidable, Zhan Luotian, the strongest ancestor of the Xuanwu Immortal Kingdom.
The Xuanwu Immortal Kingdom, formerly the Xuanwu Sacred Land, had become a second-rank Immortal Kingdom after a conflict with the Haotian Immortal Kingdom.
Now, many years later, it was completely controlled by the Zhan family.
"Brother Wudi, just say what you need to say directly."
Zhan Luotian said to Qin Wudi, "You've come all this way to my Xuanwu Immortal Kingdom, surely not just for tea."
"Ahem, not entirely."
Qin Wudi gave a dry cough, then flipped his right hand and produced a drop of golden essence blood. "Brother Luotian, this time I have brought a great opportunity for your Xuanwu Immortal Kingdom."
"Moreover, with this opportunity, it's not impossible for your Xuanwu Immortal Kingdom to become a third-rank Immortal Kingdom, or even a fourth-rank Immortal Kingdom."
He spoke with full confidence. Zhan Luotian, who knew Qin Wudi well, narrowed his eyes. He knew that if his old friend did not have certainty, he would not speak like this, nor would he travel a thousand miles to come here.
"Oh?"
"Why does Brother Wudi say so, and... what is this drop of golden essence blood?"
Although Zhan Luotian was somewhat suspicious, feeling the surging energy contained within the golden essence blood, a bold idea formed in his mind. Could it be that the time for their Xuanwu Immortal Kingdom to be promoted to a third-rank Immortal Kingdom was approaching.
