180: Song Jianyi breaks through the realm

Embracing the beauty in his arms, Ji Mo learned from her some of the things that had happened over the past six months.

In particular, there was news regarding the Peerless Sect on the Xuanling Continent, which was a matter Ji Mo had specifically instructed Su Yuexin to pay attention to before his seclusion, telling her she could interrupt his seclusion if the matter was urgent.

First, Peerless Sect Master Chu Feng achieved a Breakthrough to the Saint Realm, drawing congratulations from all directions, and he was about to abdicate to explore the Dao.

Second, the peerless Prodigy of the Peerless Sect, Song Jianyi, was about to end his seclusion in ten days. This matter, having been hyped up by the Saint Realm Chu Feng, was the talk of the town.

It was clearly preparation for his Disciple to inherit the position of Sect Master; those with good relations would naturally bring gifts to offer congratulations, while those with bad relations would also go to see what was happening.

Third, Chu Feng had already declared that on the day Song Jianyi came out of seclusion, the Peerless Sect would determine the successor for the next Sect Master.

Fourth, not long ago, following Ji Mo in the Endless Sea Region, a descendant with an Imperial Rank Bloodline suddenly emerged, named Lu Wu, who destroyed the top faction, the Thousand Island Alliance, upon his first appearance.

Furthermore, this person was also a Disciple of the Peerless Sect and would also go to the Peerless Sect on the day the Sect Master was chosen; as for his purpose, outsiders were unaware.

In addition, given the overwhelming prestige Ji Mo had built in the Endless Sea Region over the past three years and the sensational events he had caused, Ji Mo's background and deeds had been thoroughly dug up.

Ji Mo could not possibly miss such a major event at the Peerless Sect, as those were all his mortal enemies.

It could be said that the Peerless Sect, once an obscure Sect, had now become the focal point. For a time, the Heavenly Dragon Empire and several surrounding countries were in turmoil, with many powerful figures preparing to go and watch the spectacle.

After hearing this news, Ji Mo felt somewhat exhilarated. He could finally avenge the original owner, resolve his obsession, and from then on, soar like a bird in the high sky and leap like a fish in the wide sea.

He would no longer have any burdens and could properly enjoy this different world while pursuing the Peak of martial arts.

There were still a few days left, so he could spend time with this woman who was devoted to him before setting off to return to the Peerless Sect.

...

Recently, it was a joyous time for the Peerless Sect; from Wushuang City to the Holy Land in the back mountain, everyone's face was filled with joy.

Every day, streaks of light entered Wushuang City; these were Disciples returning from training or from the Endless Sea Region.

Among them were many guests, including representatives and Disciples from various Sects, as well as important envoys from various Empires, all of whom had been settled in Wushuang City.

Deep in the Holy Land, where the Spiritual Qi was dense and it felt like a fairyland, outside a Secret Realm space, Chu Feng stood at the forefront. Having achieved a Breakthrough to the Saint Realm, he was in high spirits. Behind him stood several Elders, who were also veteran Saint Realm experts of the Peerless Sect.

These people had returned because of the grand event at the Peerless Sect today. It was not just because of Song Jianyi; these old fellows were more interested in the return of Lu Wu, the one who had Awakening an Imperial Rank Bloodline and had an Imperial Rank father.

Many of these people were thousands or even tens of thousands of years old, with no hope for their future path, and they hoped for a chance to receive guidance from an Imperial Rank expert.

"Hahaha!" Chu Feng, leading nearly ten Saint Realm experts, could not help but let out a heroic laugh.

"Respected Grand Elders, tomorrow will be the most glorious day in the history of our Peerless Sect. I have stepped into the Saint Realm, and my Personal Disciple, Sword One, is about to come out of seclusion. Upon coming out, he will be in the Saint Realm."

"There is also our Sect's Disciple, Lu Wu, with an Imperial Rank Bloodline, who will also return to compete for the position of Sect Master. This shows his importance to the Sect; this is the glory and prosperity of our Peerless Sect."

"However, I have heard that Ji Mo is also returning to the Peerless Sect. His current strength and status cannot be underestimated. I hope all the Grand Elders will join forces to suppress and kill this scoundrel."

When mentioning Ji Mo, Chu Feng had a murderous look on his face, wishing he could hack him into ten thousand pieces right then and there.

Suddenly, a heaven-shaking Sword Intent filled the space. The sunny and beautiful scenery was shredded by the Sword Intent, and the plants all over the mountain were stripped of their vitality.

Where the Secret Realm Formation was located, the spatial teleportation channel flickered. It was Song Jianyi, who had been in seclusion in the Secret Realm space, coming out.

The space-time channel finally fully formed. Dense Spiritual Qi surged forth, accompanied by myriad rays of light. However, following closely behind was a space-time storm carrying a Sword Intent that could slaughter all living things. If not for these Elders and Chu Feng using their Saint power to block it simultaneously, this place would definitely have been destroyed.

"This is a Sword Soul! Only a Sword Soul has such terrifying Sword Intent and space-time storms."

Chu Feng and all the Elders were shocked by this scene. None of them had entered this Realm despite cultivating for many years, yet the Disciple he had painstakingly nurtured had achieved this accomplishment.

"A Genius, a peerless Prodigy! This is a Prodigy that our Peerless Sect hasn't seen in a thousand years!"

"The Sword Soul Realm, what a desirable Realm! Compared to cultivation base, a Breakthrough in Concept is what can better determine a person's future achievements."

"Indeed, those who can enter the 'Soul' Realm will eventually have a glimmer of hope in pursuing the path to the Imperial Rank in the future."

"Chu Feng, you have done very well. Cultivating such a Prodigy for our Sect is a great merit. Continue to prioritize resources; perhaps our Sect will produce its own Imperial Rank expert in the future."

"Yes!" Chu Feng was also excited, though he also felt a tiny bit of jealousy. He was, after all, a selfish person, and he wished more than anything that he was the one who had made the Breakthrough.

The next moment, a young man with a slender figure, wearing a white robe, with a face like jade and a handsome demeanor, stepped out from the Secret Realm space.

His Void Shattering Realm Peak cultivation was undisguised. Compared to his cultivation, what concerned these old fellows more was the little sword floating between his eyebrows.

It was the Sword Soul he had condensed, as if he was afraid others wouldn't see it!

"Sword One, you have done very well. You have not failed your master's cultivation. You are only half a step away from the Saint Realm. What surprises me the most is that you have actually managed to step into the Sword Soul Realm in one go."

As Song Jianyi's master, Chu Feng was the first to offer his approval.

Song Jianyi looked at his master and the several Elders behind him. From the aura they faintly emitted, he knew these people were unfathomable, so he quickly put away his arrogant posture.

"Sword One greets Master and all the Seniors."

"Not bad, truly not bad. Chu Feng, you have cultivated a true Genius for our Sect. Thirty years of bitter cultivation to go from Acquired to Saint in one step, Concept transforming into Soul. Song Jianyi, you are a true Prodigy that our Peerless Sect has not encountered in a thousand years, and your future is limitless!"

One of the Elders with the most ancient aura spoke to express his approval to Chu Feng and Song Jianyi.

"Sword One, this is the strongest Grand Elder of our Sect in this Plane, Ancestor Tianhong. To be able to receive his approval is the Sect's greatest affirmation of you."

Chu Feng took the opportunity to point out the identities of the several Elders to Song Jianyi.

"Thank you for your approval, Ancestor Tianhong. Sword One will definitely not fail the Sect's cultivation. I will work hard to Cultivate, and one day I will become a Saint, become an Emperor, and revitalize the Sect."

Song Jianyi's mind raced as he quickly expressed his loyalty to the Sect.

The other Elders also kept stroking their beards and nodding, indicating their approval of Song Jianyi.

"Let's go! Let's head to the meeting hall first. Tomorrow is the day you, Chu Feng, step down. Sword One has been in seclusion for many years, so there are some things we still need to communicate with him in detail."
