The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 209 Double breakthrough
"The overall champion of this core disciple competition is—Leng Ning Shuang!"

As the sun set, the magnificent Taoist chants, reflecting the frosty evening glow, resounded through the sky, filling the once bustling crowd with sighs and exclamations.

Congratulations, Qiu Bai!

"You rascal... congratulations to you too!"

The figure was panting heavily in mid-air, but the two smiling young faces were illuminated by the brilliant afterglow of the setting sun, making them exceptionally dazzling at first glance.

Immediately afterwards, their sharp gazes met, their fighting spirit soaring, and powerful energy fluctuations emanated from their bodies, as if they would not be able to hold back their fight at any moment.

Strangely, the two men seemed to outshine the woman in the white dress who possessed the aura of a champion. Most perplexingly, they occupied the entire sky above the dueling arena, yet no one uttered a sound of protest.

"You two little bastards, haven't you had enough? Get down here right now! If you don't pay for the damages later, don't even think about leaving here today!"

A strange, old-fashioned shout caused many elders in the VIP seats to burst into laughter, while Wu Ye and Xiang Qiubai's lips twitched, as if they had been doused with a bucket of cold water, and they quickly and awkwardly descended to the ground.

"Elder, these two young men have both broken through to the Legendary level, and the 'Golden Thread Net' is in Wu Ye's hands. The situation is probably not favorable for us!"

"Hmph! In my opinion, they're just two guys at the early stage of the eleventh level of cultivation. Their foundations aren't even stable yet, so what is there for Fourth Brother to fear?"

Separated by the Third Elder, the voice transmissions between the black-robed elder and the white-robed elder reached the ears of the white-haired elder whose eyes flickered uncertainly.

Looking at the several dueling platforms shattered into fragments, Long Yuzhong was extremely frustrated. Who would have thought that Wu Ye and Xiang Qiubai would both break through at the same time?

He could hardly accept breaking through even one barrier, let alone two!
"Although it's only the initial stage, encountering a legendary expert at the tenth level would be a devastating disaster..."
Fine! Might as well go all the way.

To ensure absolute success, let's mobilize all our forces stationed in the four directions!

Long Yuzhong let out a long sigh in the dark. The other two elders hesitated to speak after hearing this, but in the end, they both frowned, lowered their heads, and fell into silence.

Then, looking around at the jubilant crowd, especially at the man in the purple-gold crown who was all smiles, the elder inwardly sneered: Enjoy your smugness while you can, it won't be long before you cry!

"Second Elder, we have just broken through our shackles and have received the sect leader's telepathic instructions, so we will take our leave now!"

"Haha, Tianjue and Yidao, I knew I hadn't misjudged you two. Alright! Since that's the case, then you two should hurry up and go!"

After landing, the wild man and the white-clad man simultaneously clasped their hands in greeting to the bearded elder. Then, with the Second Elder's approval, Wu Ye and the other man hurriedly left together towards the dark exit of the passage.

The arrival of two newly promoted legendary powerhouses is a pleasant surprise that will delight one of the higher-ups of the Jade Purity Sect for quite some time.

"Hehe, with the sect leader giving permission, my master is probably out of options this time, right?"

"Luckily I was quick-witted. If I hadn't sent a message to my master, we might have been in serious trouble today...!"

As they entered the ascent passage, Xiang Qiubai and Wu Ye looked at each other and spoke in turn, demonstrating just how terrifying Elder Liu's "prestige" was among the core disciples.

"Hmph! You two are lucky this time, with the sect leader coming to your rescue. But if you don't pay the compensation for the dueling arena next year, leaving won't be so easy!"

Just as Xiang Qiubai and his companion breathed a sigh of relief, they suddenly felt a slight stinging pain in their eardrums. It was the kind-faced old man who had sent a harsh message through telepathy.

"How about Wu Ye obediently leave me the magic weapon, the Golden Silk Net, and the final secret of Qiu Bai's Windless Blade technique right now..."

"Ahem, Master... we'll be going now! Next time, we'll definitely...!"

The sound of a wicked laugh reached their ears, causing the two white-clad men, whose lips were twitching, to shudder and quickly leave after uttering a single sentence.

Just kidding! Would we hand over the grand finale so easily?

...In fact, even Xiang Qiubai and the other two did not know why they were still afraid of Elder Liu Yidao, who was at the peak of the tenth level, even after advancing to the legendary realm.

Indeed, this behavior stems more from fear than from "respect."
"I'm telling you, Yidao, even the sect leader, as your master, couldn't get that golden net, so don't even think about it!"

The withered old man chuckled and couldn't help but tease the kind-faced old man with a gloomy expression.

"Hmph! I was merely curious; in reality, that golden net would be useless. However, I still have a chance to comprehend 'calm seas,' after all, I know that little brat Qiu Bai very well!"

Elder Liu Yidao first gave Ling Weiyun's clone a cold glance. Then, in front of all the core disciples and elders, he smiled like a cunning old fox.

"Please invite Junior Sister Ning Shuang to come forward and enjoy the performance!"

Immediately, the commotion coming from below the dueling arena made the kind-faced old man forcibly silence himself, but he still couldn't hide the smile that bloomed on his face like a flower.

In the core competition, two of the three disciples who performed the best were from Elder Liu Yidao's school, which was indeed something he could be proud of.

"Congratulations on winning the championship, Senior Sister!" After pondering for a while, the man in purple had an idea and secretly sent a congratulatory message to the woman in white who was receiving the award in front of the old man with beard and hair.

"It's just a championship I picked up off the street, what's there to be happy about?"

After bowing and accepting the prize presented by the Second Elder, and listening to the thunderous applause from all sides, Leng Ning Shuang slowly stepped back, glancing up at the VIP seats with a complex mix of emotions.

indeed so!

With Wu Ye and Xiang Qiubai both breaking through, Leng Ningshuang naturally won without a fight, and the championship title came easily to her.

But the problem is...

The gap in strength between her and Wu Ye, Xiang Qiubai, and the others has widened even further. Even if Leng Ningshuang advances to the legendary realm in the future, she will still be overshadowed by the two of them.

"Perhaps, for true powerhouses..." Thinking of this, Feng Ling sighed inwardly, lost in thought: "What they care about most is not the outcome of the battle on the arena, but whether their own strength has been definitely improved during the fight."

In fact, the fact that Wu Ye and Xiang Qiubai were able to break through at the same time was due to two unexpected changes.

Originally, the two were evenly matched, but one of the unexpected changes was that Wu Ye possessed the tenth-level magic weapon, the Golden Silk Net.

In fact, when the Grand Elder and the others detained Wu Ye last time, they suspected that Wu Ye had taken the Golden Silk Net, but unfortunately they were unable to find out its whereabouts.

It wasn't until Wu Ye used the golden silk net to deal with Xiang Qiubai that the Grand Elder and the others were truly enraged.

Then, just when Xiang Qiubai was trapped in the golden net and everyone thought he was about to be defeated, the second unexpected event occurred!

Calm and peaceful!
No one knew that Xiang Qiubai's self-created ghost technique, "Windless Blade Sword Art," which he donated, actually retained a terrifying final move!
It was this final move that not only resolved his own crisis, but also triggered a change during the intense collision. The two mysterious energies forcibly pulled the legendary ghost spirits that had been suppressed within their bodies for a long time away.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, the dueling platform, reinforced by a legendary expert, was blasted into pieces by two terrifying energies!

Afterwards, the two of them actually...

Breakthrough!
Several legendary experts attributed this strange turn of events to the fact that the golden silk net and Wu Ye's own ghostly power were both of the metal element, and that attribute resonance could lead to a breakthrough.

As for why Xiang Qiubai also broke through, those old guys who always liked to pretend to be unfathomable could only roll their eyes and sigh inwardly... it was all due to a stroke of luck!
Life isn't about persevering because of hope; it's about seeing hope because you persevere.

Amidst the myriad troubles and disturbances of the world, may the sages bring you, the readers, a pure land for your souls.
