Long Hui had just finished circulating his true essence for one full cycle. He pressed both palms down, retracted his aura, and his presence was clearly much deeper now. The corner of his mouth curved up. As expected of me!
In just one month, he had actually broken through from the Third Layer of Heaven Realm to the Heaven Realm Fourth Layer! A Genius needs no further explanation!
If he continued like this for a few more months, reaching the Heaven Realm Seventh Layer would be as easy as lifting a hand.
Li Xuanxiao, oh Li Xuanxiao! It's amazing that you can comprehend the Dao, but this Lord is no pushover either!
With the improvement in his Realm, Long Hui regained a bit of his confidence. He snorted twice, feeling utterly refreshed.
However, the very next second, the Restriction on his Immortal Cave was triggered!
The ground trembled incessantly, even Long Hui, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, was tossed onto the floor. An invisible aura swept over, and even though it wasn't directed at this location, it caused the Restriction on his Immortal Cave to flicker repeatedly. It clearly looked like it wouldn't hold for much longer.
"This aura... it's the Void Realm!" Long Hui was utterly shocked: "Damn it! Has the Ancient Martial Mystic Court been attacked?"
He immediately mobilized his true essence and flew out, arriving in mid-air, only to find many Disciples already gathered there. Long Hui cupped his hands in a salute toward a Martial Artist wearing a robe with two dark-gold stripes: "Senior Brother, may I ask what has happened?"
That C-Rank Disciple shook his head: "I'm not clear either. I was Cultivating properly in my Immortal Cave when the ground suddenly started shaking repeatedly, and all the Immortal Cave Restrictions were activated."
Other Martial Artists also crowded over, stating they experienced the same thing.
"Don't worry everyone, someone has already gone to notify the Seniors. They will be here soon to handle it!"
"...With this much commotion, I strongly suspect one of the Seniors got drunk and caused this!"
"It's also possible someone achieved a Breakthrough into the Void Realm!"
"No way! You must be new here. You don't know that Martial Artists, generally after reaching the Peak of the Heaven Realm, are transferred to the mountain Peak belonging to A-Rank and B-Rank Disciples. This is to account for the situation where they might not be able to control their power freely after advancing."
The numerous Martial Artists gathered together, discussing animatedly. In the open space below, smoke and dust billowed, obstructing everyone's line of sight, making it impossible to see the situation clearly.
Long Hui flew around everywhere, searching for Li Xuanxiao's figure. That patch of open ground was also very close to Li Xuanxiao's Immortal Cave. The other party couldn't possibly not have felt it!
He searched around but still couldn't find Li Xuanxiao. A bad premonition immediately arose in his heart.
Could it be the Qilin Clan? Have they come to take revenge on Li Xuanxiao?
Long Hui was just about to dive down when he was stopped by a C-Rank Disciple behind him.
"Junior Brother, don't go over! We don't know what the situation is on the ground yet. It's very dangerous for you to rush down like that!"
Long Hui shook his head: "Senior Brother, my friend is still in the Immortal Cave below. I must go save him!"
"The Seniors will arrive momentarily! Be patient and don't risk your life!" That C-Rank Disciple continued to persuade him.
Long Hui's face showed internal struggle, but he ultimately pushed the C-Rank Disciple's hand away: "Senior Brother, I have to go!"
He immediately dove down and arrived in front of Li Xuanxiao's Immortal Cave. He was surprised to find that the other party's Immortal Cave hadn't set up any Restrictions!
What a reckless fellow!
Long Hui cursed inwardly, his worry increasing.
No Restriction meant that Luck would sweep in unimpeded, engulfing the area without any blockage. Thinking of Li Xuanxiao's Realm of the Heaven Realm Seventh Layer, Long Hui gritted his teeth and scoffed.
"Kid, don't you dare die!" He immediately rushed into the Immortal Cave and searched everywhere for Li Xuanxiao. However, his search was in vain.
"Damn it! He wasn't annihilated into ash by the surging Luck, was he...?"
All sorts of terrible thoughts flashed through Long Hui's mind, but then he heard shouts of alarm coming from outside the Immortal Cave. He immediately flew out and saw everyone's gaze fixed entirely on the open ground below. To be precise, it was fixed on the figure on the ground. Long Hui narrowed his eyes and looked carefully, and then his expression suddenly changed!
"Li... Li Xuanxiao!?"
When did you... No! Wait!
Long Hui suddenly realized something, and a massive wave surged in his heart.
Could it be... Could it be... No way... This kid... has reached the Void... Void Realm!?
The thought surfaced, and Long Hui himself found it absurd.
Li Xuanxiao had advanced from the Heaven Realm Fifth Layer to the Heaven Realm Seventh Layer through comprehending the Dao. He and Wu Jiangming had witnessed this process firsthand. In just one month, no matter how extraordinary his talent, it was impossible for him to advance to the Void Realm!
Crossing Realms to advance, how difficult was that?
Especially since it involved the transformation from true essence to Luck, the difficulty would only be compounded compared to previous cross-Realm advancements.
"How can this be... It's impossible."
Long Hui muttered to himself, gazing at Li Xuanxiao's back.
Li Xuanxiao was immersed in the terrifying power of Luck. He had merely swung a casual slash. It was like an ordinary person just moving their arm. Yet, it produced such an effect!
This was something he had never expected.
Indeed, it was power from a completely different level!
The might of Luck far surpassed his imagination!
Li Xuanxiao clicked his tongue inwardly, readjusting his perception of Luck. Even without using any Martial Arts, relying solely on Luck, he estimated he could easily defeat several Heaven Realm Martial Artists!
The Martial Artists in the air, upon seeing the robe on Li Xuanxiao's body, relaxed while simultaneously realizing what had happened.
"There... there really is someone who achieved a Breakthrough into the Void Realm here!?"
"Terrifying! I always heard from Master that the Void Realm and the Heaven Realm are completely different concepts. Experiencing it up close now confirms it!"
"This Senior Brother is causing such destruction right after advancing. Once he learns to utilize Luck freely, his power will likely ascend even further!"
"Everyone, you chat slowly. I'm going to go introduce myself to this Senior Brother first!"
"Damn, what a clever kid! I'm going too!"
"Let's go together!"
Numerous Martial Artists descended to the ground, surrounding Li Xuanxiao, cupping their hands in salute, and greeting him. Compliments and praise were endless, which made Li Xuanxiao slightly awkward. He was an old social phobic!
He just wanted to be beautiful alone; he didn't want to be gawked at like a monkey. But his status was what it was. After all, they were all fellow sect members; they would see each other often, so putting on airs wouldn't be appropriate. He could only force a smile and return greetings and pleasantries to everyone. By this point, Long Hui had completely accepted the fact: Li Xuanxiao had truly broken through to the Void Realm!
No matter how impossible, how bizarre, or how unbelievable it seemed, the ironclad fact was right before his eyes: countless individuals who should be calling him 'Senior Brother' were currently grinning widely, calling Li Xuanxiao 'Senior Brother'.
If he hadn't advanced to the Void Realm, how could this have happened?
So the question arose: how should he address Li Xuanxiao from now on?
What do you call the Senior Brother of your Senior Brother?
Long Hui shook his head, casting away the miscellaneous thoughts swirling in his mind. Scenes from the time he had known Li Xuanxiao involuntarily surfaced in his mind. This guy, from the moment they met until now, seemed to have always been doing incredible things.
He was clearly a Martial Artist from a small nation, yet he could fight evenly with Martial Artists from top powers like his Upper Kingdom. Dual Cultivation of Buddhism and Martial Arts was explicitly recognized as impossible in the Divine Province, yet he achieved it. He was clearly a Martial Artist, yet he could actually comprehend the Dao like the Daoists of the Taiyi Dao Sect!
Now, less than a month after returning, he had crossed Realms and stepped into the Void Realm level... All these things made Long Hui feel a strong sense of unreality.
