Cultivation successfully broke through to the Guiyuan Realm.

Aside from the Breath-Fixing Art, which had already been Cultivated to Perfection,

all other Peerless Secret Chapters broke through, reaching the Fourth Layer.

After sensing it slightly, Mo Fan realized that his current self was far, far stronger than his previous self, completely incomparable.

Even multiple versions of his Peak of Heavenly Mandate self would not be a match for his Guiyuan First Level self.

The Destiny Realm was merely the starting point, where one initially sensed the Great Momentum of Heaven and Earth and comprehended it, but the means of utilizing this Momentum were very limited, allowing only simple borrowing of momentum and resulting in limited power output.

But once the Primordial Spirit was condensed, cultivation broke through to the Guiyuan Realm, and the Primordial Spirit Light was born, everything changed.

The Primordial Spirit Light was a product born after comprehending the Great Momentum of Heaven and Earth to a certain degree, and it was naturally close to the Dao.

Therefore, once cultivation broke through to the Guiyuan Realm, one could control the Great Momentum of Heaven and Earth to a certain extent, directly mobilizing it against enemies, possessing the power to suppress mountains and rivers with a fist.

Guiyuan beings were all human nuclear bombs, terrifying existences capable of destroying a city single-handedly.

Slowly exhaling a breath of stale Qi, a wisp of Primordial Spirit Light burst forth from Mo Fan's fingertip.

In an instant, the surrounding air twisted, streams of momentum gathered, lightning faintly flashed, resembling a roaring hurricane, a volcanic eruption, or even a trembling earth crust.

At this moment, if Mo Fan wished, he could unleash terrifying destructive power, causing several mushroom clouds to rise over Yuxu Academy.

Of course, if he actually did that, Mo Fan would likely be suppressed by the Mountain Protection Magic Array before the mushroom clouds could even rise.

"Not bad. My strength has increased significantly. Going to look for Origin Stones now should be foolproof, right?"

Mo Fan grinned.

Breaking through to Guiyuan was a joyous occasion.

The only regret was that the available attribute points had been completely cleared.

Fortunately, a large wave of Origin Stones would soon be credited, and the attribute points would quickly be replenished then.

"It's time to set off for Canglang Mountain!"

Taking a deep breath, Mo Fan stood up and walked toward the direction of the Spirit Spring.

Before long, he found Little Black, who was tending to the fish.

"Little Black, come here quickly. It's time to start the real business." Mo Fan waved at Little Black, who was chasing the Spirit Fish.

"Meow?" Little Black turned its head, glanced at Mo Fan, and then reluctantly pulled off the Octopus it was using to block the sun on its head, putting it back into the Spirit Spring.

Still confused, Little Black quickly swam toward Mo Fan.

"What is it, meow?"

"Haven't you always wanted to go out and play? Shall we go visit Canglang Mountain together?" Mo Fan asked with a smile.

"Meow? Didn't you say we had to wait until your cultivation broke through to the Guiyuan Realm before we went?" Little Black widened its dark eyes, its face full of confusion.

"I've already broken through," Mo Fan stated directly.

Hearing this, Little Black was stunned, subconsciously retreated two steps, and said in astonishment:

"You broke through to the Guiyuan Realm? Or did This Cat hear wrong just now?"

This cultivation progress speed is too scary, meow!

"You didn't hear wrong. I've already broken through to the Guiyuan Realm. If you don't believe me, look—"

Mo Fan's expression solidified, and a wisp of golden light immediately refracted in his eyes.

As soon as the golden light appeared, the surrounding air immediately twisted slightly. The originally stable Rule Order instantly collapsed and then reformed, bursting forth with terrifying might.

"Meow?!" Little Black was startled and quickly retreated a few more steps.

It suspected it was hallucinating!

"Didn't you just break through to Guiyuan, meow?" Little Black's head was buzzing.

This technique, this practiced method of conjuring a nuclear bomb, could already rival Guiyuan Peak!

"I genuinely just broke through," Mo Fan replied honestly.

"How can someone who just broke through be this strong? Many Guiyuan Peaks might not even be able to use techniques like yours, meow!" Little Black couldn't understand and found it unbelievable.

Just casually condensing a stream of Primordial Spirit Light could cause space itself to distort!

It even directly destroyed the Rule Order, attempting to reconstruct its own Rule Order!

Such a method could only be achieved by Guiyuan Peak beings who had condensed their Primordial Spirit to the extreme and could control the Great Momentum of Heaven and Earth at will.

"Maybe the quality of my Primordial Spirit is just a little bit outrageous?"

Seeing Little Black's reaction, Mo Fan also felt a little confused.

He knew that after his cultivation broke through to Guiyuan, his strength would increase significantly, and his combat power could directly rival Late Stage Guiyuan, or even Guiyuan Peak.

There was no helping it; his foundation was simply too good.

First, there was the Qi Sea transformed from a Sea of Stars.

Next, there was the outrageously strong martial dao foundation embryo.

Followed by the Primordial Spirit that had just been born.

All were existences so strong they had no peers.

More importantly, Mo Fan had learned a large number of Peerless Secret Chapters and had Cultivated all of them to an extremely profound level.

Especially the Golden Body Art, such a terrifying Martial Skill, had also been Cultivated to the Fourth Layer by Mo Fan.

One must know that Mo Yingying, who also Cultivated the Golden Body Art,

had only just managed to break through to the First Layer from the introductory stage after nearly a year.

This was even with the bonus provided by her Invincible Physique.

If anyone else tried to practice it, it would be impossible to succeed.

Even if they succeeded, they shouldn't dream of breaking through a minor level without several decades or a century.

There was no helping it; this stuff was too difficult.

It far exceeded the existing Ranks of this world.

Of course, the difficulty of practice was exchanged for incredibly terrifying Combat Power.

Relying solely on the Golden Body Art, Mo Fan, in a full outbreak, could already match Guiyuan Peak.

Coupled with his other methods, he could slay anyone below the Supreme!

In fact, the same was true for the other Peerless Secret Chapters.

Normally, those qualified to Cultivate Peerless Secret Chapters were all Supremes.

But even they needed to spend countless hours to Cultivate a Peerless Secret Chapter to a profound level.

Cultivating for fifty years and breaking through the cultivation Realm to Supreme could be considered a Peerless Genius.

There have only been a few such Geniuses since ancient times.

But even a Peerless Genius of that level would likely need one or two hundred years to bring a Peerless Secret Chapter to Perfection.

"It's not just a little bit outrageous, it's too outrageous, meow!

"This Cat has lived for so many years and has never seen anyone like you, who can condense Primordial Spirit Light with such terrifying power immediately after breaking through to the Guiyuan Realm!"

Little Black was a little excited.

As a worldly cat,

it hadn't been this excited in a long time.

Mo Fan had certainly taught it a lesson today.

Does a Prodigy truly emerge in Times of Chaos?

"Just luck," Mo Fan scratched his head and gave an honest smile.

However, at this moment, Little Black sighed helplessly: "What a pity, what a pity, meow—"

"Pity what?" Mo Fan was confused.

"It's a pity that a Prodigy like you appeared in this Era, but it is about to be destroyed soon.

"If you were given a little more time, you might truly be able to handle the World-Ending Calamity." Little Black's eyes were full of regret.

"There is still time now. There's no need to be discouraged or worry about things that haven't happened yet," Mo Fan shook his head.

"That's true. With your terrifying speed of cultivation Breakthrough, it probably won't take many years for you to reach Void Breaking."

Little Black also felt relieved, shook the water droplets off its body, and continued:

"At that time, if you can find some Opportunity and discover the path beyond Void Breaking, then everything will be solved effortlessly."

Saying this, Little Black jumped onto Mo Fan's shoulder and pointed ahead: "Let's go, meow, to Canglang Mountain!"

"Alright, let's go." Mo Fan smiled, transforming into a Flowing Light and soaring into the sky.

After the cultivation Breakthrough, his speed surged again.

Now, it would only take him forty minutes at most to travel from Yuxu Academy to Canglang Mountain.

"After the World-Ending Calamity is resolved, remember to Rebuild Pojun!" Little Black suddenly said.

"No problem! I will definitely keep my promise! You will be the Commander then!" Mo Fan said.

"That's good, meow." Hearing Mo Fan's words, Little Black excitedly scratched its face, curled up, and fell into a deep sleep.

Now, the World-Ending Calamity was set to descend in just a few years.

Naturally, it had no mind to urge Mo Fan to Rebuild Pojun.

What if the Calamity arrived just as they were gaining some fame? Wouldn't that be a waste of effort?

With this time, it was better to spend more effort improving itself, so it could last a few more seconds when the World-Ending Calamity arrived.

"If only Mo Fan could truly survive the World-Ending Calamity, meow—"

At the same time.

Jiangnan Border.

Canglang Mountain Range.

No one knew that deep within the Canglang Mountain Range, shrouded in mist, there existed an Isolation Magic Array.

Even fewer people knew that inside the Isolation Magic Array, a hidden existence like a Peach Blossom Spring was concealed.

Ancient buildings stood row upon row, and villages were scattered in an orderly fashion.

The ancient buildings were devoid of Life Qi.

The villages were also completely silent and desolate.

The farmlands were desolate.

The streams had all dried up.

A single glance revealed only decay and deathly silence.

This was a space lacking Life Qi.

However, in sharp contrast to the villages,

were the mountains in the distance, obscured by mist.

Within the mountains, magnificent palaces loomed vaguely, resembling a Celestial Palace.

Few people knew that the Headquarters of the Heavenly Demon Cult was located here.

Among the grand and magnificent palace complex, there was a snow-white Great Hall built of jade stone, occasionally emitting a mysterious radiance.

This was where the Life Soul Tablets of important members of the Heavenly Demon Cult were stored.

Inside the Hall.

A short, ordinary-looking youth stared blankly at the Life Soul Tablets enshrined in the Altar, his face full of helplessness.

"It's been almost a year since High Priest Ming Qing fell. I truly don't know when our Heavenly Demon Cult will be able to attack Yuxu Academy and avenge High Priest Ming Qing.

"High Priest Ming Qing valued me the most. He promised to promote me in a few years, but alas—"

Speaking of this, the short youth looked troubled.

High Priest Ming Qing was the existence he admired most, and also his future hope.

Yet, due to a mission, he was slain at Yuxu Academy.

"It should be soon, right? The Cult Master said that in a few months at most, the Demon and Fiend Races would be able to consolidate their strength. Hmph, that damned Yuxu Acad—"

Just as the short youth was murmuring to himself, a tall, handsome figure walked in.

"Brother Qian, I'm here to take over your shift. You should hurry home and rest," the handsome youth said.

The short youth named Qian Wanguan was immediately stunned:

"Stone Second Tiger? It's only seven o'clock now. The shift change is still an hour and a half away. Why are you here already?"

"I'm used to waking up early. I came over after bathing and burning incense. I didn't have anything to do in the Dormitory, so I figured I might as well come early, let Brother Qian go back sooner, and spend some tender time with Sister-in-law for marital harmony—" The handsome youth, Stone Second Tiger, chuckled.

"Heh, you're a sensible kid!" Qian Wanguan also laughed.

"Alright, I'll head back then. Work well. Although nothing usually happens in the Life Soul Hall, you can't slack off while working. Don't be lazy."

"I know that! I finally got transferred to the Headquarters, so I absolutely won't be lazy!" Stone Second Tiger quickly patted his chest and guaranteed.

"That's good." Qian Wanguan nodded and turned to leave the Life Soul Hall.

"The new guys are full of energy. I should be able to relax quite a bit these next few months."

Qian Wanguan sighed with emotion as he walked.

But soon, he shook his head again, saying helplessly:

"I can indeed only relax for a few months. That guy was specially promoted by the Grand Elder from a Branch Division.

"It's said that this fellow is deeply favored by the Grand Elder. Coming to the Life Soul Hall is just a transition; he'll probably be promoted in a few months.

"Unlike me, now that the High Priest is gone, I can only stay in the Life Soul Hall for the rest of my life. Alas!"

Qian Wanguan sighed, lamenting his poor luck.

However, he quickly tossed all those thoughts aside, chuckled, and immediately quickened his pace.

"My wife probably isn't up yet. Going back now is perfect—"

...In an abandoned Mountain Villa a hundred miles outside the Canglang Mountain Range.

A woman with a high ponytail, wearing black Training Clothes, with a delicate, youthful, beautiful face and a slender figure, quietly appeared.

After briefly identifying the direction, the woman walked toward an abandoned Stilt House.

If Mo Fan were here, he would recognize her.

This woman was Lin Yiyi, his former colleague.

Soon, Lin Yiyi walked up to the Stilt House and knocked on the corner-missing brown Wooden Door: three light taps, five heavy taps, five light taps, and four heavy taps.

A moment later, an old yet powerful voice sounded in her ear: "Come in."

At the same time, with a creak, the Wooden Door opened automatically.

Lin Yiyi composed herself, took a step, and walked inside.

Soon, a tall, thin, elderly man with sharp features and a distinguished demeanor appeared before her.

"Commander Lin, your subordinate has a matter to report!" Lin Yiyi said solemnly.

"There's no one else here. You can call me Grandpa," Lin Qitian frowned.

"Reporting, Commander Lin, you said we cannot break the rules!" Lin Yiyi stated firmly.

Lin Qitian: "..."

Lin Qitian's face darkened.

Is this little girl still holding a grudge?

Didn't I just urge you twice to find a partner sooner?

Is that necessary?

That kid from Yuxu Academy last time was pretty good; his cooking skills were unrivaled.

This girl is so careless; she doesn't know how to foster affection. Someone will snatch him away sooner or later.

Shaking his head helplessly, Lin Qitian slowly said, "What is it you need to report?"

"We received the latest news from the Mole: the location of the Heavenly Demon Cult's Entrance has been confirmed. It is a hidden Magic Array that requires a specific method to Break the Array!" Lin Yiyi said with a serious expression.

Hearing this, Lin Qitian couldn't help but be stunned.

After waiting so long, there was finally news?

He took a breath and said solemnly, "Is the source of the information reliable?"

"Reliable!" Lin Yiyi nodded.

"Who sent the intelligence?" Lin Qitian was curious.

It had been four or five months since they locked onto the Canglang Mountain Range and confirmed the Heavenly Demon Cult Headquarters was located here.

Yet, after all this time, they still hadn't found the Entrance to the Heavenly Demon Cult Headquarters.

Was there finally a turn for the better now?

"Stone Second Tiger. The intelligence was sent by Stone Second Tiger. He has already transmitted the specific coordinates and the method for Breaking the Array!" Lin Yiyi said.

"Then there's no problem. Immediately notify the Sect Head of Yuxu Academy and have him bring people over for reinforcement right away!

"At the same time, give orders for our Dark Shadow to consolidate its forces as quickly as possible, striving to launch a Strong Attack and annihilate the Heavenly Demon Cult in one fell swoop as soon as the Guiyuan experts from Yuxu Academy arrive!

"Remember, there must be no mistakes. The Heavenly Demon Cult Headquarters is filled with experts; this is a hard bone to chew!"

A long-lost smile appeared on Lin Qitian's face.

Stone Second Tiger is the most outstanding Mole in Dark Shadow's history, solving one problem after another for Dark Shadow.

The news he transmits is never wrong.

Today is the Day of Cult Destruction for the Heavenly Demon Cult!

"Yes! Your subordinate accepts the command!" Lin Yiyi turned and left, taking out a Communication Jade Slip and beginning to contact the Various Divisions.
