#720 - Small Heaven Realm

Everyone was reveling, drinking alcohol and eating meat. Some were chatting about everyday life, while others discussed national affairs, making it a very lively scene.

Not only was the imperial palace filled with festive joy, but the entire city was also enveloped in a celebratory atmosphere.

It was already night, with stars dotting the sky and a silvery moon hanging high. The city was brightly lit, almost like daytime.

On the streets, bonfires were everywhere, with people gathering around them in groups, singing and dancing, celebrating the imperial dynasty's festival.

In front of the imperial palace's main hall, the imperial dynasty's high-ranking officials saw Night Generalissimo return alone after following Lord Divine to the altar. Turning their heads, they saw Jun Wuxie standing on the altar, the night wind blowing through his thick black hair, causing his golden robes to flutter.

Grand Elder Xuan Yuan and the Mo family experts exchanged glances, preparing to head to the altar.

However, Consort Ling shook her head at them.

"Young Master, what are you thinking about?"

Consort Ling came to his side and naturally held his arm.

"I'm wondering if I can protect you all in the future, protect this prosperity and tranquility."

Jun Wuxie said softly. He could fearlessly face anyone under the starry sky, but he felt a deep sense of pressure when facing the future doomsday torrent.

In this life, time was too tight.

He had a premonition that the doomsday torrent would not give him too much time to prepare.

In this universe, among the many ancient stars of life, where would the doomsday torrent originate, and where would it first erupt?

Currently, throughout the starry sky, it seemed that the various ancient stars of life had not yet begun discussing forming an alliance to resist the doomsday, and no one was taking the lead.

He didn't know what the supreme rulers in the starry sky were thinking. Were they holding onto a侥幸psychology, believing they could avoid this calamity as in previous eras?

But even if the supreme ruler forces in the starry sky really intended to unite, they would probably be a disorganized mess.

After all, no one was unaware of the price that would be paid to directly face the doomsday torrent. Which supreme ruler would be willing to take the lead?

They were probably all thinking about how to preserve their own strength as much as possible and let others sacrifice.

This was a weakness of human nature, and even when facing annihilation, such problems would still exist.

They would have concerns, worrying that their strength would be severely damaged. After the doomsday torrent passed, those who had preserved their strength better would devour those who had suffered severe losses.

Such things had happened frequently throughout history, with many precedents.

"Young Master, you can do it. I believe in you."

Consort Ling gently rested her head on his shoulder and said in a happy tone, "Actually, these years following you have been the happiest thing for us sisters. Even if the road ahead is cut off and life ends there, we will still have a beautiful life engraved in our memories, making this life worthwhile. No matter what the future holds, we are not afraid as long as we have you by our side."

"But I am afraid. I am afraid that you will fall into darkness and sink into the abyss forever!"

"If we can be with Young Master, even if it means sinking into the abyss forever, what is there to fear?"

Jun Wuxie took a deep breath and said, "Perhaps I am overthinking things. Such thoughts will wear away my sharpness and are not beneficial to my Dao heart. The doomsday torrent is indeed terrifying, but I think I can handle it. I can protect you, protect the imperial dynasty, and even this ancient star of life! As for the other ancient stars of life in the starry sky, I'm afraid I can't take care of so many…"

… …

At the same time, deep within the Immortal Slaying Sword Sect on Mount Zongwang.

Tian Jianyi and the Phoenix Empress sat in a pavilion, gazing at the distant sky.

"Wuxie is under a lot of pressure. Should we help him?"

The Phoenix Empress said, with a hint of heartache in her eyes.

"Huang'er, how do you want to help?"

"I want to send him to the Divine Phoenix Mountain…"

Tian Jianyi was silent for a moment and said, "No, doing so would no longer be giving him an opportunity, but would be equivalent to cheating. As I said before, let him walk his own path and earn everything himself."

"How is that cheating?"

The Phoenix Empress said angrily, "According to you, every imperial son and daughter is born cheating! The cultivation their families provide them is far beyond what someone like Wuxie, who relies on his own efforts to grow step by step, can compare to. Just in terms of bloodline, the descendants of Emperor Realm experts are born with extremely high bloodline awakening levels, starting at the Myth realm from the womb! But what about others? They can only gradually awaken their bloodline power and improve their talent growth realm during the growth process. Is that fair?"

"What you're talking about is the universe with the highest cultivation civilization, and this is the lower realm. If we start giving him great conveniences here, allowing him to easily become invincible, how will he reach such a high level in the future? Weren't the strongest beings of that era all cultivated by themselves? Take that being for example. What he experienced in his life was far more difficult than what Wuxie is experiencing now."

"Have you ever thought about how Wuxie will deal with the woman who sealed herself in the secret land after she is released? Relying on the Myriad Dragons Slaying God Formation, do you think you can really suppress her steadily?"

"Huang'er, you are at least a Universe Emperor Realm expert. He has his own path to walk, and we cannot interfere excessively. That being chose him as his heir, as a chess piece to subvert the overall situation in the future. He must have foreseen everything in that era. If Wuxie can't even pass the test in the lower realm, how can he bear the mission on his shoulders?"

"If he dies in the lower realm, all missions are just a dream bubble!"

"Huang'er, hardships will make him stronger. Why are you being so stubborn? Do you think only the two of us are watching him? That princess, and the true owner of the Eternal Heart Lock, are also watching him in an unknown space."

"Hmph, anyway, you're always right. Everything I say is wrong!"

The Phoenix Empress reached out and pinched Tian Jianyi's waist hard.

Tian Jianyi gasped and couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Huang'er, how many eras have you been an Emperor? Why are you still using this move?"

"So what if I'm an Emperor? I'm still a woman, why can't I use this move? Who told you to make me angry!"

Tian Jianyi was speechless and said, "Think about it, even if we let him enter the Divine Phoenix Mountain, with his current resources, it's impossible for him to break through to the Myth realm. He'll probably reach around the fifth level of the Eternal Legend realm at most."

"That's still much stronger than he is now!"

"You're talking about the difference between the first level and the fifth level of the Eternal Legend realm!"

Tian Jianyi laughed and said, "Don't forget, the Golden Scale Secret Realm is about to be born. You know the intensity of the order suppression inside this generation's Golden Scale Secret Realm isn't as strong as the outside world. If he enters it, he will definitely break through the talent growth ceiling, and reaching around the third level shouldn't be a problem."

The Phoenix Empress was silent and sighed softly after a long time.

"You, you clearly know that you can't interfere excessively, but actually, you never intended to interfere excessively, did you?"

"I just wanted to open a small back door for him, fearing that he would really perish in the lower realm…"

The Phoenix Empress hugged Tian Jianyi's arm and said, "You know, I've always regarded him as my daughter's future husband. If he's gone, who else will be worthy of our daughter in the future? I don't want to wrong her. We as parents owe her too much…"

"It's me, the father, who owes her…"

Tian Jianyi sighed, feeling deeply guilty.

His daughter was still sealed in his wife's cave heaven.

"Wuxie doesn't have much time left. I hope he can break through to above the Supreme Heavenly Position before then…"

The Phoenix Empress sighed, feeling somewhat heavy.

People like them possess the ability to reverse myriad realms, but they cannot take action to resolve the doomsday torrent brought about by the Darkest Era.

Once they do that, it is highly likely that they will be sensed by the Emperor-level beings of the dark universe, which will trigger an even greater disaster, causing the end of the heavens to begin ahead of schedule.

… …

In the following days, Jun Wuxie shuttled back and forth between the Weapon Forging Hall and the Unicorn Basin.

When the cooperation between the unicorns and the Black Armored Cavalry gradually became proficient, he returned to Mount Zongwang and began his own cultivation.

He consumed some semi-sacred grade resources, preparing to break through the Minor Heavenly Position extreme realm.

He was naturally experienced in cultivating the extreme realm and had various resources as a foundation, so he was confident that he could break through this shackle in a short time.

Semi-sacred grade resources were transformed into incomparably pure life essence under the Primordial Golden Body Art, surging within his body, flowing along the meridians like a roaring river, making earth-shattering sounds.

However, he tried several times but failed. Every time at the critical moment, a large number of cracks appeared in his muscles, and his entire body almost collapsed, with golden blood staining his clothes golden.

"My physical body strength is actually not enough?"

He felt shocked after repeated attempts. At first, he thought it was because he hadn't mastered it well and was too impatient, which led to this situation.

After several times, he finally determined that it was because his physical body strength was not enough. He couldn't withstand it at the last moment, causing his previous efforts to be in vain, and he was forced to retreat right before the finish line.

"Physical body cultivation, the higher the realm, the more perverted and outrageous the physical body strength required to break through the extreme realm…"

He thought his physical body was strong enough, but the obstruction in breaking through the extreme realm made him realize that his physical body was not strong enough.

"Thunder Tribulation Liquid and Divine Beast Blood should have good effects…"

He thought about it, drank a lot of Thunder Tribulation Liquid and Divine Beast Blood, and didn't rush to refine them. Instead, he entered the Eternal Life Divine Palace and directly stepped into the Weapon Tomb.

Countless weapons instantly rioted, bombarding down from all directions.

The attack intensity of the Weapon Tomb corresponded to his realm.

However, his soul was much higher than his realm, and his ability to endure pain was extremely strong, so it wasn't as painful as before.

But he could still feel his physical body starting to deform under the forging of the weapon intent.

Although it was his soul that entered the Eternal Life Divine Palace, the weapon intent forged on the soul, but all the power was transmitted to the physical body outside.

His physical body began to crack, overflowing with golden blood.

Jun Wuxie gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain, and began to refine the Thunder Tribulation Liquid, cooperating with the weapon intent to temper his physical body inside and out.

At the same time, he refined the Divine Beast Blood, using its life essence to temper and nourish his physical body, repairing his injured body.

The dual torment, both internal and external, was a painful process, but the benefits were obvious.

He could feel his physical body strengthening steadily during the repair process, every inch of flesh and blood becoming significantly tougher.

"It seems I've become complacent. I thought that after years of tempering my physical body through various methods during cultivation, I wouldn't need the Weapon Graveyard's forging. But the truth is, without the Weapon Intent's forging, my physical body's strength would be hard-pressed to reach the limit corresponding to each realm..."

The resounding clang reverberated continuously within the bronze chamber.

It was the sound of his physical body, as if forging immortal iron, with sparks even flying from his skin.

This process lasted for several days.

He gradually grew accustomed to the intensity of the Weapon Intent's forging, and his body's ability to withstand the forging gradually increased.

By the fifth day, the Weapon Intent's forging could barely cause his skin to crack.

At this point, the Weapon Intent's forging had essentially lost its effect.

He walked out of the Weapon Graveyard, consumed rare and precious treasures, accumulated a massive amount of life essence, and, feeling that he had accumulated enough, attempted to break through the extreme boundary once more.

This time, the problem from a few days ago did not reappear.

His physical body withstood the extreme and violent blood energy at the moment of breaking through the extreme boundary's shackles.

With a boom.

His body shook violently, his mind buzzed, and he felt himself stepping into a strange realm in an instant!

The path of his cultivation realm, which had been severed due to the extreme boundary, was now reconnected.

"Finally broke through. It's been a while since I felt the shackles of cultivation. In recent years, opportunities have been constant, and my realm has advanced by leaps and bounds, almost all naturally, relying on a strong physical foundation. It seems that every time I break through an extreme boundary in the future, even if my physical strength is sufficient, I still have to come to the Weapon Graveyard to forge myself to ensure that my physical strength always remains at an extreme level..."

He spent some time consolidating his realm, opened his eyes, stretched his arms, and, feeling the surging power of blood energy within his body, couldn't help but feel excited.

This feeling was very comfortable!

Breaking through the extreme boundary doubled his strength, giving him the illusion that he could punch through the sky!
