Chapter 431: 431 Congratulations to Master Gu
This feast lasted a full ten days.
During these ten days, all the warriors who received the news hurried to Divine City as fast as possible. Being able to witness the manifestation of the Way of Heaven was of great benefit to their own cultivation.
Especially for those in the Divine Power realm.
In these ten days, countless First Rank warriors crossed that threshold and broke through to the Divine Power realm.
Among them, many broke through their realms in the Divine Power realm, at least several dozen advanced to the Mana realm.
There were also more than ten who advanced to the Unleaking Realm.
Even the number of Celestial Beings increased by several.
Apart from Li Yuan, there was a member from the Lin Family, one from the Chen Family, and several others who had been stuck in the Unleaking Realm for countless years.
This was an unprecedented miracle in martial arts history, where one person’s ability benefitted countless warriors.
Everyone present, regardless of whether they were from the nine prominent families, several major sects, the royal palace… all owed him a debt of gratitude.
Finally, after ten days, the manifested Way of Heaven disappeared, and everything returned to its calm.
Gu Yang had also finished the final step, reaching the Hollow Void realm.
He opened his eyes and saw the crowd below, most of them were unfamiliar faces, but there were also a few acquaintances.
Before he could say anything, someone in the crowd blurted out, “Congratulations, Real Man Gu!”
“Real Man” was an ancient title of respect for human immortals and currently used to honor powerful Celestial Beings. It was quite fitting in this context.
Gu Yang wasn’t expecting such a grand reception. He thought back to just over a year ago when he left Liu Family Village, and he was just a minor Ninth Rank warrior.
He hadn’t even left Lian Mountain when he ran into a gang of mountain bandits, leading to a close brush with death. Cautiously all the way, taking various risks to earn money, and offending powerful entities like the Liu Family…
Now, just over a year later, he stood at the pinnacle of this world.
Among those present were Celestial Beings, those in the Divine Power realm, grand clans, prominent sects, members from the royal family…
These people, willing or not, had to bow their noble heads before him out of respect.
Today, he was the first among Great Zhou, and even the entire Divine State Continent.
His achievements had surpassed those of the two legendary figures, the founder of the Dao Sect and the Xia Emperor.
Gu Yang glanced at them, gave a slight nod, and left the place with Su Qingzhen and the others.
As he left, the crowd dispersed, but some still stayed, eagerly discussing the momentous event.
…
“Two seniors.”
After sending Su Qingzhen and the others back to the Lunar Abyss, Gu Yang stayed in the academy and went to a courtyard where Gao Fan and Wu Er resided.
Both of these seniors had provided him with substantial help. Now, it was time to repay them.
Gao Fan and Wu Er looked at him with complex expressions, “Didn’t expect you to take this step so quickly. I originally thought it would take, at least, hundreds of years.”
“You brat, instead of focusing on cultivation, you’re here looking for us two old farts? Shoo, go do what you have to. I do not have any requests, I just hope that one day, you will be able to perfect the Nine Blade of Heavenly Question.”
Seeing Wu Er impatiently shooing him away, Gu Yang could roughly guess his thoughts.
Perhaps, his time was running out.
Wu Er’s current state was abnormal. He should have been killed by Red Moon Great Saint nineteen years ago, but somehow he escaped and was left powerless.
These years, he had been following his junior, Ling Ling, and aside from advising on cultivation, he couldn’t help much.
However, precisely because this once Unleaking realm powerhouse was present, Ling Ling managed to avoid many dangers and grow seamlessly.
Now, Ling Ling has broken through to the Divine Power realm and with Gu Yang around, whether it’s about rebuilding the Wu Family or seeking revenge against Lord Chi Ming and Red Moon Great Saint, it’s no longer challenging.
Wu Er’s wishes had been fulfilled, his heart was at ease, and his life was approaching its end.
Over the years, he had persisted until now because of his determination.
Just earlier, he witnessed Gu Yang breaking through to the Hollow Void realm and understanding the Way of the Celestial Beings from the manifested Way of Heaven.
Unfortunately, he had no cultivation left in his body. Even though he gained enlightenment, it was impossible for him to make a breakthrough.
