Free Web NovelChapter 69: Chapter 68: Great Celestial Venerable! Golden Body Technique Advancement! 1st Revolution of the Immortal Golden Body
Crossing the Thunder Tribulation! Breaking Realm!
Typically, this is the sign of a Spirit Transformation Realm expert breaking through to the Divine Platform Realm!
At that moment, Murong Hai, the Prison Chief of the Great Xia Prison, arrived late, delayed by some trivial matters.
He looked up at the sky above the prison, where a mysterious Golden Shadow was tyrannically swallowing the Thunder Tribulation whole!
He was utterly shocked!
But that shock was immediately followed by a wave of excitement!
This person had flashed out from within the prison, which meant they were very likely one of the Great Powers in seclusion there! frёewebηovel.cѳm
He couldn’t help but recall the last time a mysterious expert had broken through inside the prison, triggering a massive phenomenon!
Suddenly, his eyelid twitched.
A bold guess formed in his mind.
’Could these two be the same person?’
"Hmph! Lord Mu! You sure are lucky!"
Just then, Zhan Taiyue, one of the Directors of the Demon-slaying Bureau, appeared in a flash.
She stared at the heavens, her eyes glinting as she sighed in amazement. freewebnøvel.coɱ
"Don’t tell me this prison is some kind of Immortal Blessed Land? The last time someone broke through here, it triggered an astonishing phenomenon!"
"And this time, it’s even possible that a Divine Platform Great Venerable will be born!"
"Truly astonishing!"
Murong Hai’s face fell, but he ignored her.
The two had a long-standing feud. After their search for King Zhenyue, they had even fought a fierce battle in the Celestial Fire Demon Cave.
Unfortunately, Murong Hai was slightly outmatched and lost the fight.
However, enduring his injuries, he had managed to land a vicious slap across that woman’s face in the end!
Zhan Taiyue, of course, remembered this, and she was still fuming about it.
That’s why she was bound to greet him with cold, sarcastic remarks.
’Zhan Taiyue may be obnoxious, but she has a point,’ Murong Hai thought, his gaze still fixed on the sky.
In the past, it was true that a few Martial Artists had chosen to attempt their breakthroughs within the prison.
However, these people were usually either too old and had lost all hope of breaking through in the outside world, wanting to use the prison’s dense Evil Qi to make a desperate, all-or-nothing attempt to force a breakthrough.
Or they would enter the depths of the prison to go into death seclusion.
They would try to break through their Realm while simultaneously suppressing the Demon Fiends and major criminals in the prison’s depths.
Even if their breakthrough ultimately failed, they could at least make a small contribution to the Great Xia Dynasty.
In recent years, however, very few Martial Artists had chosen to enter the prison to attempt a breakthrough.
This was because the Great Xia Elder Imperial Tutor had seized a Spirit Peak, and breaking through on this peak increased one’s probability of success.
"However, Lord Mu, don’t you celebrate too soon! Even if this prison is a Blessed Land, it’s my Demon-slaying Bureau’s Blessed Land!"
"This Great Power who is breaking through must be one of the seniors from my Demon-slaying Bureau!"
After a moment, Zhan Taiyue retracted her gaze. She looked at Murong Hai beside her and stated coolly.
She seemed quite confident in her guess.
"Zhan Taiyue! You’re delusional!"
Murong Hai’s eyes narrowed, his expression turning ugly. "How can you be so sure that this Great Power is a senior from your Demon-slaying Bureau?"
"Hah! There are clearly more seniors from the Prison Suppression Bureau inside the prison!"
"If anyone’s going to break through, it should be one of the Prison Suppression Bureau’s seniors!"
"How did it suddenly become someone from your Demon-slaying Bureau?"
Although the Prison Suppression Bureau and the Great Xia Prison he supervised were different departments, their duties were the same.
Moreover, he had a good relationship with Chen Tianfeng, so he naturally spoke up for the Prison Suppression Bureau.
"That’s bullshit!"
Zhan Taiyue was clearly getting worked up.
Like a common shrew, she spat angrily, "Seniors from the Prison Suppression Bureau? What kind of power could they possibly have?"
"They’re basically all at the Innate Great Realm!"
"As for Spirit Transformation Realm experts? I’d be exaggerating if I said even one in ten of them has reached that Realm!"
"But one hundred and thirty years ago, Senior Tian He of my Demon-slaying Bureau had already reached the Eighth Level of the Spirit Transformation Realm!"
"Ninety years ago, Senior Luo Feng was even at the Ninth Level of the Spirit Transformation Realm!"
"Fifty years ago..."
Zhan Taiyue reeled off the names of every Martial Artist from the Demon-slaying Bureau who was a likely candidate, as if listing her family heirlooms.
Her words left Murong Hai so frustrated he was speechless.
He couldn’t argue. Those were the facts.
The Demon-slaying Bureau was an institution personally established by the previous Emperor!
It had been favored with a great deal of resources and preferential treatment. The Prison Suppression Bureau, established much later, naturally couldn’t compare.
Standing to the side, Chen Tianfeng’s brow furrowed as he listened.
"Breaking through to the Divine Platform Realm isn’t just a numbers game!"
"If you ask me, the most likely candidate is actually a senior from my Fate Peeping Pavilion from thirty years ago—Lord Mu!"
Just then, a Vice Pavilion Master from the Fate Peeping Pavilion, clad in a Silver Daoist Robe, appeared in the sky and descended, speaking with a serene tone.
"Back then, Lord Mu’s Cultivation had already reached the very limit of the Spirit Transformation Realm!"
"He was only a single step away from breaking through to the Divine Platform Great Venerable Realm!"
Upon seeing this man, even the fiery Zhan Taiyue’s expression grew wary.
The Fate Peeping Pavilion, like the Demon-slaying Bureau, was an important organization personally established by the previous Emperor.
Its primary duty was to monitor Great Xia’s national destiny and the will of its people.
In some respects, the Fate Peeping Pavilion’s influence was even a cut above that of the Demon-slaying Bureau.
Furthermore, the Fate Peeping Pavilion was extremely secretive. If the massive commotion from this breakthrough hadn’t drawn its attention,
it’s likely that even Zhan Taiyue would never have had the right to meet its Vice Pavilion Master.
Still, Zhan Taiyue argued stubbornly, "Regardless, the odds are still higher that it’s a senior from my Demon-slaying Bureau!"
"Director Zhan, feel free to keep up that tough talk,"
the Vice Pavilion Master of the Fate Peeping Pavilion said with amusement, fanning himself as he spoke calmly.
"You!"
Zhan Taiyue was so furious her chest heaved.
Far from the heated argument between Zhan Taiyue and the others,
in a top-floor room of an exquisite pavilion beside the prison,
Grand Director Chen Feixue was chatting and laughing with a middle-aged man in a magnificent Golden Purple Robe.
This middle-aged man was none other than the Pavilion Master of the Fate Peeping Pavilion.
At that moment, Chen Feixue watched the mysterious Golden Shadow still undergoing its tribulation in the sky, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
She murmured softly to herself.
"I wonder if this senior can become a Great Celestial Venerable?"
Martial Artists of the Divine Platform Realm are also respectfully known as Divine Platform Great Venerables.
When Spirit Transformation Realm Martial Artists break through to the Divine Platform Realm, they are categorized according to the number of Thunder Tribulations they endure.
They are specifically divided into the Mortal Venerable, the Great Venerable of Humanity, and the Great Venerable of the Earth,
and, at the highest tier, the Great Celestial Venerable!
...
BOOM!!
Su Bai raised his hand, caught a bolt of purple tribulation lightning, and then swallowed it whole. A numbing sensation coursed through his body, but he was otherwise unharmed.
’Good thing I acquired so many High-Grade Body Cultivation Techniques. My Physique has been strengthened immensely!’
Su Bai thought with relief.
At the same time, he also discovered that his Physique was being tempered by the Thunder Tribulation, improving noticeably.
Furthermore, under the constant stimulus of the Thunder Tribulation, the Golden Body Technique he was channeling seemed to be undergoing some sort of mutation.
Dense, ancient runes, pulsing with a formidable aura, began to flicker in and out of existence all over his body.
As the ancient runes multiplied, Su Bai noticed that the Experience Points for his Golden Body Technique were rising nonstop.
130,000... 150,000... 180,000...
Until finally, the Experience Points count soared all the way to 300,000!
A look of delight spread across Su Bai’s face as he saw it.
In the Cultivation Technique column, the text that originally read [Golden Body Technique (Fifth Grade)]
was gradually transforming into...
[First Immortal Golden Body Transformation (Seventh Grade!)]
