You remained chaste on your wedding night, do you really think this holy son is a simp?

The Supreme Elder's palm strike seemed ordinary, but it completely changed the feeling it gave people.

A powerful spiritual energy, carrying an immense, suffocating pressure, swept over Gu Changyuan.

At the center of the storm, Gu Changyuan's previously calm expression finally showed a slight change.

The protective aura around his body, which had been automatically shielding him, began to crack and creak under the immense pressure.

Gu Changyuan frowned slightly, feeling the strong wind rushing towards him, and then said with a smile.

"Interesting. No wonder he's so arrogant."

"This old man has indeed lived to such an old age; his cultivation is far superior to those useless elders who are only good at bullying their own kind."

"This aura is condensed and does not dissipate, and it faintly carries the flavor of the laws of heaven and earth. It seems that it is not just a peak Nascent Soul stage."

"He's actually a half-step Void Refinement Realm cultivator. No wonder he's so arrogant. No wonder he dares to act like an old man in front of me. It turns out he's touched the threshold of the Void Refinement Realm and thinks he's all that now."

"However, that's far from enough. They're still a long way from trying to take advantage of my seniority!"

"So what if you're a Supreme Elder? So what if you're only half a step into the Void Refinement Realm? Even if you really reach the Void Refinement Realm today, so what?"

"You're old, your energy and blood are all depleted. With your frail body and your meager abilities, you think you can stop me?"

"You seem to be still half asleep."

"You're not qualified!"

The moment he finished speaking, Gu Changyuan's spiritual power erupted completely.

A golden beam of spiritual energy shot out directly from the top of Gu Changyuan's head, slamming into the oppressive force exerted by the Supreme Elder.

The two forces then collided violently in mid-air, producing a dull thud.

The disciples who were closest to Gu Changyuan turned pale instantly, their legs went weak, and they almost lost their footing.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the young figure in the center of the hall, their faces filled with disbelief, and couldn't help but speak up.

"The Holy Son's powerful spiritual pressure was several times more terrifying than before."

"This...how is this possible?"

"How can this aura be so powerful?"

"Am I seeing things? The Holy Son actually withstood it?"

"That's the Supreme Elder! He's a powerful expert at the half-step Void Refinement stage! How could the Holy Son actually withstand the Supreme Elder's furious attack?"

The disciples' discussions were filled with fear and shock.

In their minds, the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm is like an ant trying to shake a tree—a complete joke.

But now, this joke has become a myth.

Gu Changyuan not only blocked it, but his aura continued to rise, showing no sign of stopping.

Then a fierce wind swept through the main hall, which was the result of the spiritual energy surging wildly.

Gu Changyuan's robes fluttered wildly in the wind, his black hair danced wildly, and his aura underwent a qualitative change.

Under that terrifying pressure, he effortlessly broke through the bottleneck within his body.

A visible ripple of spiritual energy spread outwards from Gu Changyuan.

At this moment, the previously somewhat ethereal spiritual energy instantly became incredibly solid, and its profound depth was enough to make anyone who saw it tremble with awe.

At this critical moment, under the powerful suppression of the Supreme Elder.

Gu Changyuan actually broke through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm!

But this is not the end.

After his breakthrough, Gu Changyuan's momentum surged.

Immediately afterwards, the large spiritual hand that had been suspended in mid-air to suppress the elders also changed.

Originally, although the giant hand was enormous, it was still somewhat illusory, giving people the feeling of concentrated spiritual energy.

But now.

As Gu Changyuan's cultivation level broke through, the palm lines on that large hand became clearly visible, and even the texture of his skin was revealed.

An aura of vastness, antiquity, and dominance emanated from that large hand.

The elders, who were already trembling under that huge hand, now felt as if the sky was about to fall.

By the time the surrounding disciples reacted, their legs were already trembling under the sudden pressure.

Even though they had retreated to the edge of the main hall, and even though they had used all their spiritual power to resist.

But it still feels like carrying a huge mountain on my back.

An inner disciple, his face filled with terror, swallowed hard, his voice trembling.

"This is insane! Did the Holy Son just break through during battle? How did he do that?"

"Mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm, what a terrifying realm! The Holy Son has actually broken through to the mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm."

"The Holy Son actually broke through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm! And he did it during a battle."

"How is this possible? It's only been a few months! I remember the Holy Son broke through to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm only a few months ago, right?"

"That's right, I also remember that the Holy Son only recently broke through to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and he really did break through in battle."

"Breakthrough during combat? What kind of monstrous talent is that? Can anyone really achieve this? It's terrifying!"

"Could this be a breakthrough in the heat of battle? Using the pressure from the Supreme Elder to hone his skills?"

"This is terrifying. This insane method of cultivation is simply unheard of."

"Such powerful spiritual pressure! No wonder he's the Holy Son. That aura he just exuded was even more terrifying than that of an average late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator! And he seemed to be able to withstand it!"

After he finished speaking, the disciples below began to murmur amongst themselves, filled with awe for the powerful.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Elder, who was on the opposite side, had a very interesting expression on his face.

He originally thought that with this palm strike, Gu Changyuan would be severely injured, if not killed, and would definitely kneel down and beg for mercy.

But reality slapped him hard in the face.

Not only was this kid unharmed, he even broke through his own limits with his help!

Where does that leave him with his old face?

The elder's anger intensified, but deep within that anger lay a subtle, almost imperceptible apprehension.

This child must not be allowed to live!

If we let him grow up, this won't be the Feathered Immortal Sect anymore; it will have to be renamed the Gu Family Compound!

However, Gu Changyuan had no time to pay attention to the old man's ulterior motives.

As his cultivation level increased, the spiritual energy around him became more and more vigorous, and the golden light almost illuminated the entire hall.

Gu Changyuan felt his whole body filled with power, a power that made him want to let out a long roar.

Under the almost tangible suppression of the Supreme Elder.

Gu Changyuan moved. Instead of retreating, he slowly raised his right foot and took a heavy step forward in front of everyone's horrified gaze!

Gu Changyuan's step shattered the Supreme Elder's oppressive aura and also shattered everyone's understanding.

Then.

An extremely dense, blood-red aura suddenly surged from Gu Changyuan's body.

That's qi and blood!

Vigorous as the sea and fiery as the sun!
