Chapter 288: 288 Finally we meet
“I’ve found you!”
In Jingzhou city, a black-clothed elder appeared out of thin air. He closed his eyes, using a technique to extend his sight and hearing. He swept across a radius of a hundred miles.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, a flash of cold ruthlessness crossing his face.
Though he didn’t “see” the person he was looking for, he sensed an extremely fiery aura from the other side of the sea.
To him, this aura was very familiar.
He had been studying and researching the cultivation technique “Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens” for over a thousand years.
However, the power of that aura made a deep fear flash in his eyes.
That was clearly the Unleaking Realm!
“Has that youngster actually managed to break through to the Unleaking Realm?”
How is that possible?
The elder found it hard to believe in his heart. While that youngster’s cultivation speed was famously against the heavens.
But this was the Unleaking Realm.
No one knew better than him, the stronger one’s mana triple-fold, the harder it is to unlock the body’s secrets.
From the collected information, that youngster’s mortal body was formidable enough to rival the Unleaking Realm.
For the youngster to cultivate an Unleaking body, it was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
In front of him, there was only one road, that was to achieve a Nascent Soul.
If so, to the elder, there wouldn’t be any threat.
This elder was precisely Shen Yun, the old ancestor of the Shen family, a crafty old monster who had lived for over a thousand years.
He accepted his master’s order to catch Gu Yang who had cultivated “Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens” to the realm of mana, yet he managed to lose track of him several times.
Yesterday, Shen Yun learned from the Shen family’s intelligence network that Gu Yang had appeared in Jingzhou city, so he rushed over.
He always acted prudently, even though there was an opportunity in the Divine City, due to fear of the dean of the academy, he held back.
Who knew that in just a few days’ time, he would receive news that Gu Yang had broken through the third Heaven of the Mana Realm.
Furthermore, he had caused a big commotion in the stronghold of the Red Venerate sect, the Boundless Mountain. Red Sun wanted to suppress him with the Demon Suppression Tower. However, the Tower flew away by itself, and Red Sun disappeared without a trace.
The speed of that youngster’s strength growth was far beyond his imagination.
After learning this, Shen Yun suddenly had a premonition: if this continued, perhaps that youngster would soon break through to the Unleaking Realm.
This youngster always did things that caught everyone off guard. To others, the impossible things he managed to make happen every time.
No matter how much he overestimated this person, it would not be an overestimation.
That’s why this time, Shen Yun decided to hold nothing back. He spent a day getting to Jingzhou City.
Soon, he discovered that youngster’s traces.
“Something is wrong, this is monster energy.”
Shen Yun suddenly found something abnormal in that aura, realizing the truth in an instant.
“Nine Heavens Divine Law,” it was the guise of a phoenix that the youngster had cultivated, achieving the Unleaking Realm.
Gu Yang was originally a human, even if he practiced the monster race’s cultivation techniques, he wouldn’t become a monster.
Shen Yun was very clear on this point.
In the past, that emperor created this technique for the purpose of allowing humans to cultivate, refining monster energy into a phoenix and transferring it back to himself.
If the practitioner of this technique truly became a monster race being, having the bloodline of the phoenix, it would pose a threat to him.
He would never tolerate such a thing happening.
These were all things that Shen Yun had pondered over for thousands of years.
His research of the technique “Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens” was no exaggeration to say much deeper than Gu Yang’s.
Shen Yun came from humble origins, but he had ambitions. A thousand years ago, he was unwilling to be a servant of the monster race.
After a thousand years of struggle, he achieved the cultivation level of the Unleaking Realm, only a step away from the three monster saints, he was even less willing to be at their mercy.
Originally, Saint Chao Yang’s order was for him to spread the technique of the “Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens”.
Behind the scenes, he disobeyed and only passed down the technique to a select few of his descendants, choosing one talented individual from each generation to cultivate the technique.
Firstly, it was convenient for studying the technique.
Secondly, it was to be able to give a satisfactory explanation to Saint Chao Yang in the future.
Even if the Three Saints pursued it, he had countless excuses to evade responsibility.
