Heaven Lead Peak.

Jiang Yuan looked at the approaching chiefs and elders from afar and greeted, “Chiefs, Elders, particularly I beg you to halt here, I have promised Peak Master Kong Nian to protect him!”

Nie Xuan nodded, with a smile on his face, “Understood!”

The crowd also nodded their heads one after another, especially a few chiefs, who had somewhat guessed the strength of Jiang Yuan, far above them.

Suddenly, massive fluctuations of the primordial spirit emanated from Kong Nian’s body.

Wherever the fluctuations reached, grass, trees, bamboo, and stones were only slightly shaken.

But those beings with weak spiritual life, all died instantly in the face of these powerful fluctuations of the primordial spirit.

Jiang Yuan also slightly concentrated, then looked at Shu Xiaoxiao behind him.

At this moment Shu Xiaoxiao had no change whatsoever.

She smiled upon seeing Jiang Yuan’s gaze.

Jiang Yuan was shocked in his heart.

Can the divine soul of his own maid be this strong?

Or has she already condensed her primordial spirit?

A distance away, those Chiefs and Elders were affected by the spreading primordial spirit power, and their faces turned pale as they retreated.

A few elders retreated, revealing an incredulous expression as they looked at Jiang Yuan.

Then they looked at Shu Xiaoxiao behind Jiang Yuan with a horrified gaze.

Facing the might of this spirit’s power, they understood a bit about the terror of the divine soul changing into the primordial spirit.

They understood why there is a saying that a person of the Divine Bridge Realm, if they have not condensed the primordial spirit, cannot withstand a single blow in the face of the Dharma Realm.

Now, the mere residual dispersion of the primordial spirit wave from Kong Nian’s breakthrough was enough to stop them from approaching Kong Nian.

If he were to use a secret technique of the primordial spirit, it could kill them all in an instant!

But for this reason, when they saw Jiang Yuan and the maid behind him standing their ground, showing no signs of panic…

Their expressions were like they had just seen a ghost, filled with horror.

Gulp!

An elder swallowed and expressed his inner doubt, “Why are they so close to Kong Nian, yet they don’t retreat?”

Nie Xuan slowly said: “Can’t you all see? Jiang Yuan’s strength is probably above ours!”

“This… That’s not possible!”

“What’s impossible?” Nie Xuan casually said: “He can’t be measured by common sense!”

“Then… what about his maid beside him?”

“She, may also be above us?”

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!” the elder shook his head, “You said Jiang Yuan’s strength surpasses ours, but how can his maid be stronger than us?”

Nie Xuan looked at him faintly: “Then explain to me, why can she face such massive fluctuations of the primordial spirit without furrowing her brows?”

“This… I don’t know, but your guess is absurd!”

The elder shook his head, speaking adamantly.

The other elders also nodded slightly in agreement: “Elder Meng’s words make sense, we can hardly accept that Jiang Yuan is stronger than us, but on what basis is his maid stronger than us?”

Nie Xuan immediately stayed silent, as even he didn’t really believe the words he just said.

The guess was indeed absurd.

As time passed, Kong Nian’s body continued to emit waves of enormous primordial spirit fluctuations.

Jiang Yuan also understood that Kong Nian was condensing the dharma-nature of his primordial spirit in his spiritual platform.

Only by condensing the dharma-nature can one truly step into the Dharma Realm.

Half an hour later.

Kong Nian suddenly opened his eyes.

“Condense!”

With a loud shout, a horrifying primordial spirit storm suddenly erupted around him.

When the storm swept over, Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Kong Nian.

The elders and chiefs who were farther away retreated again and again, completely unwilling to confront its power directly.

Seeing this situation, their eyes didn’t rest on Kong Nian but firmly rested on Jiang Yuan and Shu Xiaoxiao.

Upon seeing the two people who still remained motionless…

Their worldview was somewhat shattered.

“How do they withstand this terrifying primordial spirit storm? How can the maid beside Jiang Yuan completely ignore it?”

No one answered his question.

Because apart from him, everyone present shared the same question.

The next moment.

A huge golden light suddenly burst out from Kong Nian’s body, rapidly expanding.

In a blink of an eye, it expanded to several hundred meters.

A human-shaped primordial spirit dharma-nature sat on the ground.

The tracing outlines, mysteriously resembled Kong Nian.

The golden eyes of the primordial spirit dharma-nature slowly opened, revealing a pair of eyes shining with golden brilliance.

Then this primordial spirit dharma-nature slowly stood up, and the mountain trembled slightly.

If it weren’t for the formation patterns covering this peak, with the reinforcement of several large formations…

Just this one motion, would have perhaps caused part of the mountain to collapse.

When the primordial spirit dharma-nature fully stood up, it stood a thousand feet tall, as if it were a divine spirit walking out of the ancient times.

[Name]: Kong Nian

[Realm]: Dharma Realm First Level

[Innate Qi Movement]: Late Bloomer (Purple), Lay Up For A Rainy Day (Blue), Artifact Mastery (Blue), Formation Apprentice (Green), Eccentric Genius (Green)

[Late Bloomer]: The older the age, the higher the cultivation aptitude, the higher the comprehension.

[Lay Up For A Rainy Day]: The deeper the accumulation, the stronger the outburst, the unlimited accumulation of foundation, can assist in breaking through any bottleneck.

Jiang Yuan looked at the status panel of this dharma-nature, his eyes narrowed.

“Senior, what is this dharma-nature?”

Kong Nian’s thousand-foot tall primordial spirit dharma-nature slowly lowered its head, smiled gently at Jiang Yuan.

“This is the True Self Dharma-Nature, only the one unmatched in the same realm, who cultivates an invincible will can condense the True Self Dharma-Nature.”

“The True Self Dharma-Nature ranks among the top hundred in the world and is peerless.”

“There is not a single dharma-nature that our Supreme Mystery Sect can condense to match it, it is the best choice for me at the moment.”

“When you achieve the Dharma Realm, if there is no better choice, you can also choose to condense the True Self Dharma-Nature!”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan was quite surprised.

Even the True Self Dharma-Nature, he had not heard of it before.

If what Kong Nian had said is true, the True Self Dharma-Nature is indeed powerful.

To rank among the top 100 in the world, considering the magnitude of the world, even the Eastern Region alone would take a lifetime for a great cultivation at the Dharma Realm to traverse, notwithstanding the help of a teleportation formation.

For the True Self Dharma-nature to rank among the top 100 in the world, it is a rank that encapsulates both humans and demon dharma-nature.

It also proves the strength of the True Self Dharma-nature.

For a power like the Supreme Mystery Sect, it is indeed impossible to have a dharma-nature stronger than the True Self Dharma-nature.

Jiang Yuan immediately shook his head, no!

If the Celestial Map of Heavenly Stars left by a heaven genius could form a Heavenly Stars Dharma-nature.

It would be far stronger than the True Self Dharma-nature.

Because the Heavenly Stars Dharma-nature is hailed as top 100 in the world, not exactly the 100th.

He does have better choices for himself.

The sight of the divine spirit-like Dharma-nature filled Nie Xuan and others with elation.

“Dharma Realm! The Supreme Mystery Sect finally has a great cultivation who has reached the Dharma Realm!”

“Thank the Ancestral Master! Today, our Supreme Mystery Sect finally has a great cultivator who has reached the Dharma Realm!”

“…”

On the other side.

A flying boat was rapidly heading for the Supreme Mystery Sect.

Lu Qingshan stood on the flying boat, as his expression suddenly froze.

The thousand-foot-tall golden Primordial Spirit Dharma-nature, standing at the top of Heaven Lead Peak, even being hundreds of miles away, he could see it as clear as day.

His eyes showed a bewildered expression.

Did Uncle Master Kong Nian achieve the great cultivation of the Dharma-nature?

Yes!

It must be so!

Otherwise, how could there be a thousand-foot Primordial Spirit Dharma-nature within our Supreme Mystery Sect.

The Dharma-nature that Wang Xiao was forming was not the True Self Dharma-nature.

The True Self Dharma-nature could only be formed by Uncle Master Kong Nian.

After all, so far, he has remained undefeated at the same realm.

Although it had to do with him not encountering an exceptional heaven genius, a victory is a victory.

To form the True Self Dharma-nature, he did cultivate successfully the invincible intent in his heart.

A sigh of relief spread through Lu Qingshan’s heart.

He had no doubt that, not long after, Wang Xiao would be arriving at the door.

Even before that, he was certain that Uncle Master Kong Nian would achieve the Dharma Realm after extending his life by a hundred years.

Everything is full of uncertainty.

Until he saw the True Self Dharma-nature dominating the skies, his anxious heart finally settled.

His inner pressure also suddenly eased a lot.

Then he fully controlled the flying boat and quickly headed towards the Supreme Mystery Sect.

Kong Nian looked at the end of his sight and slowly dispersed his dharma-nature.

His figure slowly descended from mid-air.

The rolling black clouds that enveloped tens of miles also went along with Kong Nian’s breakthrough.

They quickly spread in all directions.

If it were in ancient times, after Kong Nian broke through to the Dharma Realm, he would have to pass through the triple-nine Heavenly Tribulation.

Only after passing the triple-nine Heavenly Tribulation, would he officially succeed in the breakthrough.

In that era, the number of great cultivators at the Dharma Realm who fell under the triple-nine Heavenly Tribulation was innumerable.

But even so, in that era, the way of cultivation was much more prosperous than today.

Because nowadays, with the Heavenly Dao defective, the world environment is continuously declining, and resources for cultivation are not as abundant as in that era.

“Congratulations to the senior on successfully achieving Dharma-nature!” Jiang Yuan bowed.

Nie Xuan and others also hurriedly stepped forward: “Congratulations to Brother Kong on achieving Dharma-nature!”

Everyone shouted in unison.

Kong Nian also laughed, for now, with his successful breakthrough, his entire body was going through a transformation, and his lifespan was also constantly increasing.

“Brother Kong, your breakthrough to the Great Dharma-nature is a cause for great celebration! Should we set a date and have a grand feast, inviting Daoist friends from all the great Sects to celebrate?”

Kong Nian shook his head, “There’s no rush, before long, there will be another significant event!”

“What major event?” The crowd looked puzzled.

Kong Nian said, “There’s no rush! Master Nephew Lu is just a few hundred miles away right now, it won’t take long for him to reach here, we’ll discuss this matter when he returns.”

Everyone nodded and then quietly looked towards the horizon.

Kong Nian also temporarily shut down the formation enclosing Heaven Lead Peak, waiting for the arrival of Lu Qingshan.

Jiang Yuan also looked towards the distance, through the layers of clouds, he saw Lu Qingshan who was rapidly approaching.

In less than the time it takes to burn a stick of incense.

The flying boat broke through the dense clouds, fully appearing in front of everyone.

Lu Qingshan, who was standing at the forefront of the flying boat, also appeared in everyone’s field of vision.

Seeing the people on Heaven Lead Peak, Lu Qingshan immediately had a smile on his face.

From the voice of Kong Nian in his ear, he knew that the formation on Heaven Lead Peak had been turned off.

So, he commanded the flying boat to rapidly head towards Heaven Lead Peak.

A moment later.

The flying boat slowly hovered above the disciples.

A few people gently descended from the flying boat, which also turned into a streak of light and was summoned back by Lu Qingshan.

The Chief of Divine Maiden Peak, Mu, glanced at the few people beside Lu Qingshan, her expression slightly tense.

“Sect Leader, where is my disciple, Tantai Ming?”

Lu Qingshan sighed faintly, “She didn’t make it out and perished within the Pearl Cave.”

The body of the Chief Mu swayed slightly, her eyes suddenly a bit gloomy.

Although she had known beforehand that entering the Pearl Cave would carry the risk of perishing, she still had a hard time accepting the news.

Tantai Ming was someone she had watched grow up. Born into the Tantai Family, she has deep ties with the family. At a very young age, her exceptional cultivation aptitude was discovered, she entered the Sect and became her disciple.

One could say that her relationship with Tantai Ming was not that of a parent and child, but it was even better.

She watched Tantai Ming grow up over the years, spending several decades together.

Now, hearing such bad news, she was completely taken aback for a moment.

To Lu Qingshan, she said, “Sect Leader, I apologize, my mood isn’t best at the moment, I’ll go rest.”

Lu Qingshan sighed again, “I understand, you go ahead.”

She abruptly transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the direction of the Divine Maiden Peak.

At this moment, Kong Nian gave Jiang Yuan a look, and Jiang Yuan gave Kong Nian a helpless smile.
