Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Jun Wuxie returned to his residence and opened the Qiankun bag given by his Second Senior Sister. Inside was a bag of low-grade Saint Spirit Pills and a bag of Spirit Resonance Pills.

He couldn't help but sigh.

Just as he had guessed, the Spirit Resonance Pills given by his Second Senior Sister were still inferior quality pills.

Whether it was his Eldest Senior Brother or Second Senior Sister, what they gave him should have been all their savings over the years.

Looking at these Saint Spirit Pills and inferior Spirit Resonance Pills, he couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

His Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister were both direct disciples of Qingyun, their status and position should have been noble, and they should have been enjoying the sect's high-quality resources.

They had paid a heavy price for the sect, their blessed lands were shattered, their Wheels of Life cracked, and they were crippled.

In the end, the sect's resource hall actually gave them inferior pills!

"Damn it, bastards!"

Jun Wuxie clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashed with cold light, and a surge of anger rose in his heart, burning fiercely.

"It seems that Master should not know about this matter yet. With the personalities of Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister, they probably wouldn't tell Master about these things…"

Jun Wuxie pondered to himself, with Master's affection for his disciples, if he knew about this, he would definitely not let it go.

However, the decline of Zhenwu Peak was a very real problem.

Master's strength should be among the top of the sect's peak leaders.

However, Zhenwu Peak had always been sparsely populated, with no strong foundation, so the only top expert was him, the peak leader.

The other peaks were different, they had many strong elders. If they really fell out, Zhenwu Peak would definitely suffer.

"The peak leaders wouldn't fall out with Master because of this matter, but this matter of pill resources is probably not that simple. Someone is targeting Zhenwu Peak. It is not clear whether the sect leader and peak leaders know. What is certain is that the person targeting Zhenwu Peak is probably not afraid of being known by the sect leader, and must have something to rely on…"

Jun Wuxie analyzed carefully. This was probably the reason why his Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister had been hiding it from Master and hadn't told him.

Because they had anticipated the result, even if Master knew and argued with the sect leader and the peak leaders, it probably wouldn't change anything.

The sect leader and the peak leaders might agree on the surface, but it was uncertain whether they would really restrain themselves.

"In the end, they still think Zhenwu Peak is easy to bully. We Zhenwu Peak have few people, four direct disciples, two of whom are crippled, and Master used to be away from the sect all year round…"

"Hmph, from now on, my Zhenwu Peak will not be so easy to bully. I want to see who is instructing the people in the resource hall to do this behind their backs!"

Jun Wuxie carefully put away the resources given by his Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister.

He didn't intend to use these resources.

These were the savings that his senior brothers and sisters had accumulated over the years. Every pill was a heavy emotion for him, and he wanted to collect them carefully.

He calmed his emotions and began to enter a state of cultivation.

Strands of dark spiritual true energy were absorbed by him into his blessed land. After being devoured by the Fate Star and ground and purified by the World-Grinding Disc, they produced vast dark energy, which poured into the ink-colored starry sea.

At the same time, within his body, golden blood energy was operating in a special way.

This was the cultivation method of the Zhenwu Method.

His soul was powerful, far surpassing his current cultivation realm, and he could perform two tasks at once.

While strengthening the ink-colored starry sea to balance the Yin-Yang Taiji, he was also cultivating the Zhenwu Method.

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, more than twenty days had passed.

Inside Jun Wuxie's room, the whole room had turned pure gold. Apart from the bright golden glow, almost nothing could be seen.

A tsunami-like momentum erupted from his body, like the roar of the sea.

This momentum lasted for a whole half-day, and then gradually subsided, and the golden light followed suit.

He had broken through.

Since coming to this upper realm, this was his first breakthrough in realm, from the early stage of the Minor Celestial Realm of the Saint Realm to the middle stage of the Minor Celestial Realm.

The whole process was very smooth, without encountering any obstacles or fetters.

Apart from the time used to balance the Taiji Star Sea at the beginning, the entire breakthrough process only took about ten days.

For Saint Realm cultivators, the most difficult thing is the understanding of cultivation, and the understanding of cultivation is the sublimation of the soul, so the most difficult thing is to break through the soul realm.

As long as the soul realm breaks through, then in the cultivation realm, as long as there are enough resources, it can be achieved naturally.

Even, there are very few people who, when the soul sublimates and understands the cultivation realm, can instantly absorb the world's vitality into the body and perfectly transform it into their own power.

That state is called the Harmony of Heaven and Man, and it is in harmony with the Dao.

That requires heaven-defying comprehension, just like his other master, Mu Ciyin, who stepped into the Saint Ancestor Realm from the Saint Realm in one fell swoop.

He entered the Eternal Life Shrine, went to the Weapon Tomb to forge his body, and then continued to cultivate.

On his body, there were not many corpses of Saint Realm experts left, only a few left. It was impossible to break through the realm with this, but it could not be wasted, and it still had to be used.

For breakthroughs in later realms, the Saint Spirit Herb Liquid and the Zhenwu Blood Pill could be used.

The next morning, Yi Ling came in a hurry and woke Jun Wuxie, who was in cultivation.

"Junior Brother, Master asked us to gather in the front yard quickly."

Seeing Jun Wuxie coming out of the room, Yi Ling said.

"Third Senior Sister, what is Master summoning us for?"

He was a little puzzled, Third Senior Sister seemed to be in a hurry.

"Master received a notice from the sect leader this morning, saying that a person with an extraordinary identity is about to arrive at our Qingyun, and asked the peak leaders to take all the inner disciples and above to meet him outside the sect."

"Who has such a big show?"

He was a little surprised. A big figure was coming to Qingyun, and the entire Qingyun had to go to meet him. What a great momentum.

"Jing Yi, you wait for us at home."

He didn't delay, said to Jing Ya, and followed Third Senior Sister Yi Ling to the front yard.

At this time, Master Chengyuan Zhenren, Eldest Senior Brother Nan Jin, Second Senior Sister Yun Shu, and Fourth Senior Brother Han Ye had already gathered together.

"Junior Brother!"

Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister pushed their wheelchairs forward, looking at him with smiling faces.

"Greetings, Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Sister."

Jun Wuxie stepped forward, reached out and touched their palms, and observed their physical condition with his pupil technique. He smiled and said, "It seems that Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister have recovered well. The blessed land is much more resilient than a few days ago, and a lot of true energy has been restored."

"Thanks to Junior Brother."

Nan Jin and Yun Shu had been in a very happy mood these days. Although they were physically disabled, the repair of their hidden ailments gave them a feeling of living a new life.

"Alright, let's go, to the gate of the mountain."

Chengyuan Zhenren said, his expression a little dignified.

Seeing his expression, Jun Wuxie couldn't help but ask, "Master, who is coming? Such a big battle, to let our entire sect go to meet him."

"It's Princess Anning."

"Princess?" Jun Wuxie was stunned and said, "Although the princess of the Daqian Dynasty has a noble status, it shouldn't be enough to let our sect go to meet her, right?"

After he finished speaking, he found that the faces of his senior brothers and sisters were very ugly, and his heart sank.

It seemed that this Princess Anning was extraordinary.

"You are right, although the princess of Daqian has a noble status, it is not enough to do so, but this Princess Anning is different." Chengyuan Zhenren took a slight breath and said, "She is the daughter of King Ning, and King Ning is the most powerful person in the Daqian Dynasty besides the emperor."

Hearing this, Jun Wuxie looked at his senior brothers and sisters and found that they were all clenching their fists tightly, their bodies trembling slightly.

He had a guess in his heart and said, "Master, the imperial struggle you mentioned before, is King Ning the protagonist?"

Chengyuan Zhenren was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes, this matter is not a secret, everyone in Daqian knows it. King Ning's power is great, which has made the emperor jealous. Because his power is huge, the emperor dare not act rashly, and has been playing against him for hundreds of years, trying to weaken his power, but has not seen any effect."

"So that's how it is, then King Ning's own cultivation should not be weak either."

"Naturally, he is very strong. Thousands of years ago, he was a strong man in the Great Saint Extreme Celestial Realm. Now he is probably even stronger."

Jun Wuxie looked at Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister and said, "Master, are the injuries of Senior Brother and Senior Sister related to King Ning?"

Chengyuan Zhenren was silent, and everyone was silent.

"Now that things have come to this, does Master still want to hide it from me? What is the situation of our Zhenwu Peak? I think I should know a lot so that I will know how to deal with it in the future."

"Yes!"

Chengyuan Zhenren said that the Four Sect Martial Arts Competition was originally held by the Daqian imperial family. At that time, King Ning, who was still a prince, was one of the people responsible for organizing it.

Later, King Ning was conferred the title of king and secretly formed his own forces, trying to compete with the emperor. Within the territory of the Daqian Dynasty, all forces were forced to be involved in this power struggle, and Zhenwu Peak paid the most terrible price in this power struggle.

“Ning King is trying to win over various forces through a combination of coercion and enticement. Our Azure Cloud Grotto-Heaven is one of the main forces he wants to bring to his side. Azure Cloud doesn't want to take sides, fearing that getting too involved will bring about a fatal disaster. But how could Ning King give up? So he keeps implementing pressure tactics.”

“On one hand, he has people suppress our Azure Cloud disciples who are training outside. On the other hand, during the Four Sects Tournament, he was ruthless towards Azure Cloud as a warning.”

Jun Wuxie said in a cold voice, “So, Ning King's ultimate goal is to make Azure Cloud submit to him, not to destroy Azure Cloud. He's afraid that going too far would provoke Azure Cloud into a desperate fight, so he chose our weakest branch to put pressure on, as a warning and deterrent. We have become the victims!”

Real Person Cheng Yuan, Nan Jin, Yun Shu, Yi Ling, and Han Ye all looked at him in surprise, not expecting that he would instantly understand Ning King's intentions.

“In that case, it seems that the Lie Mountain Gate, the Rising Sun Sect, and the Violet Dawn Grotto-Heaven have submitted to Ning King's tyranny long ago. That's why they obeyed Ning King's orders and were ruthless towards us at the Four Sects Tournament!”

Jun Wuxie recalled the words and actions of the Thunder Peak Head Seat during the entry assessment and sneered, “Can't the other branches see this clearly? That Thunder Peak Head Seat even blamed our True Martial Peak for not being strong enough, but they don't know that it was our True Martial Peak that helped them block the disaster. If it weren't for our True Martial Peak, Ning King would have targeted one of them!”

After understanding the truth of the matter, the anger in Jun Wuxie's heart grew even stronger.

Those branches knew what the truth was, yet they still criticized True Martial Peak.

Didn't they think about it? Since Ning King wanted to target someone, even if the True Martial Peak disciples were stronger, how could they have retreated unscathed from the Four Sects Tournament?

Even if they could get the top three places, they would have to pay a bloody price.

Someone had to bleed, otherwise, how would Ning King save face? How could he let it go?

“Judging from this, Azure Cloud has not expressed its position to Ning King. So what is he doing by sending Princess Anning here this time? Could it be that he wants the princess to be a lobbyist?”

“Princess Anning's visit must have a purpose, but what exactly that purpose is is not yet clear. We'll know once we go and see.” Real Person Cheng Yuan said here, looking at Jun Wuxie meaningfully, and said, “Wuxie, you need to be careful.”

“And you few, don't let the princess and the accompanying experts sense your emotions, so as not to bring disaster. We are currently far from being able to contend with them.”

“Understood.”

Nan Jin and the others responded in this way, feeling very bitter in their hearts.

If it weren't for Ning King, how could they be in such a state?

The crippled bodies, and those senior brothers and sisters who once died, are all debts of blood!
