Chapter 81

Regarding the conflict among the four factions in the City of Heaven, Chu Yan paid no attention and did not care, instead, he focused on cultivating quietly.

This was exactly what the White Tiger Gang was happy to see. As long as Chu Yan did not leave the White Tiger Gang, they could continue to use the banner of the Wilderness after the chaos. The leader of the White Tiger Gang also announced that any resources Chu Yan needed would be provided unconditionally by the White Tiger Gang. Mu Ye and others also enjoyed the highest cultivation resources of the White Tiger Gang.

Half a month passed. During this half month, with the cultivation resources provided by the White Tiger Gang, Chu Yan and his group had been fully devoted to cultivation. After half a month, Chu Yan's strength had reached the ninth level of the Dust-Moving Realm, which could be considered the peak. He was only one step away from the Dust-Cutting Realm.

In addition, Chu Yan's Sun-Destroying Sword Art had finally broken through to the second form, the Sky Form.

"The Sun-Destroying Sword Art was created by the Sun-Destroying King in the past. The entire set of techniques is grand and expansive. When cultivated to perfection, it has the power to destroy the sun. Now that I have cultivated to the second form, the Sky Form, a single strike can break through the sun, moon, and stars. I wonder if I can now fight a first-level Dust-Cutting Realm practitioner alone." Chu Yan thought to himself.

After mastering the second level of the Sun-Destroying Sword Art, Chu Yan and Ye Xun's group went to the Martial Techniques Pavilion of the White Tiger Gang. Since the White Tiger Hall allowed them to choose martial techniques, it would be a waste not to come.

In the Vast Heaven Sect, they never had enough honor points to exchange for martial techniques, so they had fallen behind in terms of cultivation techniques. Now, in the White Tiger Gang, they could make up for this.

"The martial techniques of the White Tiger Gang may not be as good as those of the Vast Heaven Sect, but there are still some excellent ones that ordinary disciples of the Vast Heaven Sect cannot cultivate." Mu Ye had been in the Martial Techniques Pavilion of the Vast Heaven Sect for several days and had selected a few good martial techniques.

One of them was the Three Seals Spell. When cultivated to perfection, it could place three spell seals on the enemy. These three seals could not only seal the enemy's life body, physical body, and cultivation, but also enhance Mu Ye's attacks, similar to the power of bloodline. The power of the enemy with the spell seals would increase several times, making it very powerful.

"Chu Yan, what do you think of the White Tiger Gang's situation this time?" Ye Xun said in the Martial Techniques Pavilion. "They have been treating us well, but in the outside world, it is said that you represent the Wilderness, seemingly using you as a banner to unify the City of Heaven."

Chu Yan had always known about this but did not pursue it. After all, one cannot be too picky when receiving help: "Let them do as they please. The affairs of the City of Heaven are not our concern. We should focus on cultivation. The resources here are no worse than those in the Vast Heaven Sect. Once everyone has made some achievements, we will return to the Vast Heaven Sect."

"I am worried that you are being used, which could affect the Wilderness."

"It doesn't matter. The Wilderness has nothing to do with me. Causing some trouble for that old man is something I would enjoy." Chu Yan patted Ye Xun's shoulder, indicating that he should not worry. The City of Heaven and the White Tiger Gang? Perhaps they were a significant force to others, with kings and even emperors within, but to the Wilderness, they were still insignificant.

Ye Xun did not say more. Mu Ye then said, "It seems that all four factions have already joined the battle, and the war in the City of Heaven is very intense. However, it is strange that the faction called Heavenly Punishment has not taken any action. The four factions seem to be very wary of Heavenly Punishment."

"That's right. When I talked to Shao Baiyu yesterday, he mentioned that Heavenly Punishment is a faction that appeared in the City of Heaven in the past ten years, but it made a stunning debut, directly occupying a part of the City of Heaven and setting it as their private territory. The four factions also respect Heavenly Punishment. It is said that the leader of Heavenly Punishment is a young man named Qiu Yu. He is the first person in the City of Heaven, and everyone fears him."

"That Qiu Yu is about our age, but his background is also very powerful," Qian Dong said.

As the others discussed, Chu Yan seemed not to hear and continued to select martial techniques in the Martial Techniques Pavilion.

"Hey, Chu Yan, did you hear what we said?"

"Qiu Yu? I heard, but does it have anything to do with us?" Chu Yan smiled and continued to select martial techniques, leaving the others speechless. Fortunately, they did not gossip further and continued to select martial techniques.

"Chu Yan, what martial technique are you going to choose?"

"A movement technique. I will focus on the agile route, where speed is key. I have always lacked a suitable technique." Chu Yan responded. As a swordsman, speed is crucial. He had not found a suitable technique before, so he had not cultivated one. However, in the White Tiger Gang, he found a technique he liked, called "Three Thousand Silver Rivers Fall," a mid-level Earth Rank movement technique. For those below the King level, it was a good movement technique.

In the next half month, Chu Yan almost never went out, spending almost all his time studying the movement technique. Besides the movement technique, he also continuously cultivated.

The "Three Thousand Silver Rivers Fall" is divided into three stages: Beginner, Mastery, and Divine Power.

The beginner stage is simple; as long as one practices diligently, they can enter the beginner stage.

The mastery stage is more difficult. Besides understanding the power of essence, one must also master the movement technique's seal, which is imprinted on the soles of the feet. This allows for swift and varied movements, such as walking on grass and water, and moving through the air.

The divine power stage is even more powerful. Even without reaching the King level, one can briefly fly and use the seal to enhance their entire body, using the wind to achieve the effect of covering great distances in a short time.

However, reaching the divine power stage requires a vast amount of resources and a very strict realm requirement. Below the Dust-Cutting Realm, it is almost impossible. Therefore, Chu Yan's current focus was to improve his realm, as only then could many things naturally fall into place.

Besides Chu Yan, the other new disciples also focused on cultivation. In their hearts, they all had a strong determination to surpass the New Disciple Camp and the Longevity Hall. They were all working hard to become stronger and take revenge.

Finally, after a month, a star rose in the White Tiger Gang, and Fan Ye became the first new disciple to break through to the Dust-Cutting Realm. Three days later, Ye Xun also entered the Dust-Cutting Realm, making Fan Ye feel embarrassed.

When they joined the Vast Heaven Sect, Fan Ye was five realms higher than Ye Xun, but now he had been caught up. After reaching the Dust-Cutting Realm, they had a match, and Ye Xun won decisively. His black dragon seemed to be aided by a divine force, forcing Fan Ye to not even release his three hammer strikes before being defeated.

Qian Dong also reached the ninth level of the Dust-Moving Realm, while Zou Yi reached the eighth level. The fat man had weak talent and only reached the seventh level, but with the help of a Star-Breaking Pill from Chu Yan, his life body reached five stars, making his progress much faster.

As for Chu Yan, he had not broken through for a long time, seemingly stuck at the Dust-Moving Realm. It seemed he was intentionally not breaking through. At night, his spirit was absorbed into his dantian. If someone saw this, they would be shocked, as the essence in his dantian had already overflowed, reaching a full state. The stars in the sky had also split, but Chu Yan kept suppressing them, preventing them from breaking and not breaking through.

"Just a little more. Mother said that I can only break through to the Dust-Cutting Realm when my life body reaches eight stars. Before becoming a King, my life body must reach the nine-star full state. I must endure, or how can I win!" Chu Yan thought, heading to the second floor of the Nine Heavens Mystic Tower, continuing to sit and absorb essence. However, once the essence entered his body, he immediately dispersed it, leaving only the essence to forge the eighth star of his life body.

In the dantian, seven stars were connected, faintly glowing, which was the eighth star.

If someone saw this, they would be shocked, as Chu Yan was creating his life body alone. He used the essence of the heaven and earth, as if he had a skilled hammer, continuously forging the eighth star of his life body.

The sound of cracking continuously echoed in Chu Yan's body. After seven days, with a loud boom, Chu Yan's dantian suddenly brightened. Eight stars connected, and at that moment, Chu Yan's suppression reached its limit. All the power in his body burst out, breaking through the bottleneck.

"Did it work?" Chu Yan opened his eyes in surprise.

Dust-Cutting Realm, eight-star life body.

Boom!

In the White Tiger Gang, the new disciples looked at the rising light beam and frowned slightly. Then, Ye Xun smiled, "I knew he wouldn't fall behind."

"This aura is terrifying." Mu Ye couldn't help but laugh dryly. He had a feeling that if he fought Chu Yan, he might not win. From the day Chu Yan joined the sect, only two and a half months had passed, and the three months the young man mentioned... seemed not to have been used.

"Everyone is here?" At this moment, Chu Yan walked out of his room. His entire aura had changed, his essence hidden, a symbol of the Dust-Cutting Realm.

Seeing Chu Yan, the new disciples all smiled. Chu Yan's gaze fell on Mu Ye, tilting his head and waving his hand, "Come, let's have a match?"

Hearing Chu Yan's words, Fan Ye laughed, looking at Mu Ye with sympathy. He had been a human punching bag for Chu Yan and Ye Xun for half a month, and now it was someone else's turn.

Mu Ye smiled bitterly but did not refuse. He also wanted to test how far Chu Yan had progressed. He immediately took out a battle axe and charged at Chu Yan.

Chu Yan was not flustered. To be precise, he did not move at all. As Mu Ye approached, his figure became ethereal, and he took a step sideways. Raising his Wind Chant, he made the battle axe miss, and the sword light pointed directly at Mu Ye's throat, "You, lost."

One move? A first-level Dust-Cutting Realm defeated a third-level Dust-Cutting Realm?

The new disciples all widened their eyes.
