The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

Chapter 374 The Power Behind the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Profound Sect, the Hidden Spirit Land... Heavenly Curtain Palace! Lu Ye's Rapid Improvement
After a long period of contemplation, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Profound Sect finally revealed a ruthless expression on his old face.

A Grandmaster of the Earth Realm... is already a figure at the pinnacle of the Eastern Realm.

Judging from that person's advancement speed, the secret he possesses might truly be the ability to at least reach the Earth Realm Grandmaster level!
Cultivators rely on two things: talent and resources and opportunities.

Now a clear opportunity was presented to him, and after only a brief moment of thought, the Grand Elder decided to seize it.

"Very well! Cong Zhou, I will take care of this matter immediately." Elder Tianxuan said coldly, "Opportunity or not, it doesn't matter. The key is that he injured you, the Vice Sect Master, so we can't let him escape so easily!"

Ren Congzhou turned to leave, saying as he did so, "Then I will stay here and wait for the Grand Elder's good news."

After leaving the room, Ren Congzhou turned his back to the room and gave a secret, cold smile.

It worked!
He knew that he was now practically a cripple, his fighting ability was far inferior to what it used to be, and even if he got a chance, he wouldn't be able to get anything based on his current strength.

But he had to avenge this grudge!

If he simply wanted the Grand Elder to help him get revenge, Ren Congzhou knew that the Grand Elder, that old fox, might have a silver tongue but a shrewd mouth.

But whether they will actually do it behind the scenes, or whether they will deliberately let it go, is unpredictable.

After all, the other party is now a Grandmaster of the fourth level of the Mortal Realm and ranks first on the Eastern Cang Ranking. He is undoubtedly a genius of Xuanzhou!
No one wants to antagonize such a potentially powerful opponent without being absolutely certain of success.

Bringing up the opportunity hidden within that person would obviously be more persuasive to the Grand Elder and the connections behind him.

In this way, there's no need to worry about them being hesitant.

"Elder Tianxuan, you have connections with the Tianmu Mansion in the Hidden Spirit Land of Xuanzhou. Let's see how you run this time!"

A sharp glint flashed in Ren Congzhou's eyes.

The Heavenly Curtain Palace is one of the three top powers in the Hidden Spirit Land!

However, its secluded location prevents it from appearing in front of the world too often.

Therefore, many people are unaware that the seemingly powerful sects such as Tianxuan Sect are actually the top forces in the Eastern Territory.

Only a small number of people know that the major forces in the Hidden Spirit Land of Xuanzhou are far more powerful than sects like the Tianxuan Sect.

Otherwise, Ren Congzhou was also a sixth-level Grandmaster of the Mortal Realm and held the position of Vice Sect Master of Tianxuan Sect. How could he have joined the faction of the Grand Elder of Tianxuan Sect?

If we could get a reclusive force like the Heavenly Curtain Palace to send people...

Even if the other side tries to fight back, they have no chance!
...

Meanwhile, at Dongcang Square.

As a pale golden pillar of light, exceeding fifty meters in height, shot straight into the sky, the entire city of Dongcang trembled.

Countless cultivators rushed to Dongcang Square and looked up at the figure enveloped in golden light in front of the Dongcang Stone Tablet.

"I never imagined that I would live to see a new number one on the Eastern Cang Ranking!"

"Everyone says that Xiao Changqing was a monster in our Eastern Territory hundreds of years ago, and also a top genius. The records he left behind have not been broken for hundreds of years, but they have been broken tonight. Doesn't that mean that this person is even more monstrous than Xiao Changqing from hundreds of years ago?"

"Most importantly, I remember that this Senior Chen went from having his name appear on the Dongcang Stele to reaching the top of the list in less than a year, right?!"

Upon hearing this, many people fell silent.

Compared to reaching the top spot, the extremely short time it took for Chen Beixuan's name to become number one also shocked the Eastern Territory.

Even Xiao Changqing, who was also known as a once-in-a-century genius, took three to four years to reach the top!
At this moment, due to the tremendous feedback from the first Dongcang Stone Tablet, the primordial energy of heaven and earth around the plaza has become slightly denser.

Immediately, cultivators sat down cross-legged and took advantage of this divinely granted opportunity to cultivate.

"My lord, it will take at least half an hour for you to refine such a massive energy feedback..."

Not far from the stone tablet, the most cultivators were sitting cross-legged. Youluo was not cultivating, but instead staring intently at her surroundings.

"It seems that several martial arts masters have arrived nearby. We haven't sensed any mortal realm grandmasters yet."

Despite the thought flashing through her mind, Youluo remained vigilant.

The fact that no Grandmasters of the Mortal Realm have appeared yet does not mean that none will appear in the future.

My lord is clearly not a short-term player. If any Grandmaster-level experts were to rush here during this time...

There is absolutely enough time.

So the current situation is not scary; what's scary is what's to come.

"However, among the major forces in the Eastern Territory, there are not many Grandmasters who can reach the fifth level of the Mortal Realm or above, so there should be no problem."

Thinking of this, Youluo felt a little more at ease.

Once my lord/husband has finished absorbing, he should be able to advance to the next level.

At this moment, within the golden light, Lu Ye's aura was indeed slowly and steadily rising.

It has to be said that the feedback after topping the Dongcang Ranking was indeed a pleasant surprise for Lu Ye.

The immense energy it brings is several times that of the second.

At this moment, under the absorption of the Starry Sky Ancient Scripture, Lu Ye's cultivation level rose all the way up from the early stage of the fifth level of the mortal realm Grandmaster.

They quickly passed the mid-stage level of level five and arrived at the late stage of level five!
Meanwhile, the golden light continued to irrigate the area.

"We have a chance to break through to the sixth level!"

Lu Ye took out a pile of source crystals, intending to take this opportunity to break through to the sixth level of the mortal realm Grandmaster when he reached the fifth level of perfection!
As for potential dangers from the outside world...

As long as it has not absorbed all the energy from the pillar of light, the protective measures of this stone tablet will remain in place.

Even a true Grandmaster of the Earth Realm would not be able to break through it!
This is also one of the reasons why Lu Ye took out the Source Crystal. He did not intend to absorb all the feedback energy of the light pillar when breaking through the realm.

Instead, he reserved some energy to ensure the shield wouldn't dissipate, and then used the supplies he had to break through this barrier.

Just as Lu Ye continued refining the stone tablet and receiving its energy, the outside world underwent a dramatic change...

Another place.

This is a series of floating islands, suspended in mid-air, surrounded by clouds and mist. A long river of primordial energy descends from the void, resembling the Milky Way.

In a magnificent, ethereal hall, a maidservant hurried in and bowed to a veiled woman seated on a chair.

"Palace Master, the Dongcang Stone Tablet in Dongcang City underwent a tremendous change half an incense stick's time ago. A golden pillar of light, over fifty meters high, shot from the top of the stone tablet into the sky."

"Currently, numerous forces have dispatched personnel to Dongcang City..."
