Chapter 112: Breaking the Seal

In the first place, Su Lijiang is a descendant of a Divine Race, and with the boost from cultivating in the Kunlun Divine Tree day and night, his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds. The tribulation of Ascension is a piece of cake for him. If it weren't for his desire to leave Du Xizhi some insights, he wouldn't have made such a fuss.

Now that the secret realm of the Immortal Palace has been opened, he doesn't plan to delay any longer. Only when the secret realm is unlocked can he obtain the true body of the Kunlun Divine Tree, which serves as a pillar for the Immortal Palace. Therefore, he must go inside to see what exactly is in there, and know how it is worthy of the protection and support of the Kunlun Divine Tree.

A thunderbolt strikes down from the sky, directly hitting the Divine Tree. There’s not much change on the Kunlun Divine Tree itself, but inside, Su Lijiang is brimming with spiritual energy, standing firmly next to the Divine Tree to bear the thunder tribulation. Naturally, a heavenly thunderbolt has immeasurable power when it strikes a person. But with the Divine Tree sharing the load, Su Lijiang feels that the slight pain is negligible.

He had endured more pain before, and compared to the past, this is nothing.

After the Nine-fold heavenly thunder has passed, Su Lijiang's aura changes immediately. At this moment, he is in the void sea but could see thousands of lis away, and he could even see the Boundary Lake of the cultivation realm. It feels as if there is a guide leading him to the boundary lake. However, Su Lijiang withdraws his Divine Sense and teleports directly from within the Kunlun Divine Tree to the Immortal Palace in the canopy.

Du Xizhi is still cultivating inside the tree, bathed in the sword intent of Ascension. He has also gained a deeper understanding of his sword dao, and his cultivation easily breaks through to the Golden Core stage.

At this time, the cultivators on the tree are all in a sorry state. Suddenly, they see such a handsome and godly man, a layer of silver light around him. They are all extremely shocked.

The cultivators of the Luminous Moon Sect are the first to recognize him. One of them is particularly shortsighted and oblivious, and gets so excited at the sight of Su Lijiang that he shouts, "Su Lijiang, you have a lot of guts. Today, we will bring you back to our sect and deal with you!” The black-clothed man, this Upper Realm cultivator of the Luminous Moon Sect, feels his heart sink. He is naturally aware that Su Lijiang has already ascended to Mahayana. But he hasn’t crossed the Boundary Lake, so he is still outside the control of the rules of the Heavenly Dao. In other words, he has the strength of an upper realm cultivator but is not bound by their restrictions, and could freely use spiritual energy. None of the cultivators present are his match.

The Nascent Soul idiot of the Luminous Moon Sect wants to catch Su Lijiang and take him back to the Sect Master and Ruan Qingshuang to claim credit. He rushes forward to stop Su Lijiang, but the latter just walks straight into the Immortal Palace's main hall as if he hadn't seen the man.

The Luminous Moon Sect cultivator still wants to yell again, but suddenly feels that something is wrong with his body. Lowering his head to look, he realizes that his body has already been cut in half at the waist. His face is filled with horror, and he tries to speak, but can no longer make a sound.

No cultivator in this realm saw when Su Lijiang drew his sword.

The Upper Realm cultivators who saw clearly are also stunned.

Such an astonishing and exceptional sword cultivator. Not only possessing extraordinary talent and physique, his cultivation has already reached the realm of Human Immortal as well. Most importantly, his bone age is less than a hundred years old! This aptitude is superior even to those outstanding disciples from the ancient families in the True Immortal Realm, and he would be an unparalleled genius even there. With him inside, what other benefits could the others possibly gain?

For a while, everyone feels some frustration and disappointment akin to a loss.

On the contrary, the Demon Venerable laughs and says, "From the start, I said Su Linjiang was impressive. Now it seems that my judgment was indeed correct."

As soon as he finishes speaking, they feel another lightning bolt strike down again, even more powerful than before. It narrowly misses the Phoenix Feather Frame and leaves a deep cut on it, which is burnt and has a smoky scent. The Phoenix Feather Frame is the thing that the Demon Venerable cherishes the most, but he doesn’t even bother to keep it safe this time. He lands it on a clearing, and stands outside the Frame with a murderous look. Meanwhile, Feng Ling sits inside the carriage, occasionally lifting the curtain to curiously look outside.

But at this moment, the Kunlun Divine Tree becomes more and more unstable, and even the Immortal Palace is shaking back and forth like it’s about to slide down from the tree and fall into the sea.

"The clouds of calamity have yet to disperse, the Heavenly Tribulation is not over yet!"
