My cultivation level increases by one year every day!

Qingyun Sect.

These three words seemed to possess some kind of magic, instantly stirring everyone's heartstrings.

Some people were extremely excited at the thought of meeting the Great Lord, as if a heavy hammer had struck their hearts.

As they cultivated at Qingyun Academy, their horizons expanded beyond the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they began to experience some of the outside world.

"Is it really necessary for the Palace Master to go to such lengths for just one elder?"

The deputy palace master in front of Qingyun Palace, and even the Ninth Prince Li Chengze, had the same question in their minds.

Although the elders of the Qingyun Sect are still high and mighty to them, there is no need for everyone to come and greet them.

Moreover, it alarmed the current emperor, and a bold guess suddenly came to Li Chengze's mind.

"Not only that, but an important figure also came to inspect our Qingyun Academy."

Li Chengxian's face flushed, clearly due to excitement, and he cleared his throat.

"He is the senior uncle of the current sect leader of the Qingyun Sect!"

These words caused an uproar among everyone, like a boulder falling on a calm lake, creating ripples.

The sect leader of Qingyun Sect is one of the strongest figures in the world. Even the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty would have to bow down to him.

It is no exaggeration to say that he could decide the rise and fall of a dynasty with a single sentence.

His senior uncle, being of such a high generation, must be incredibly powerful.

"They're here!"

Standing at the very front of the Qingyun Palace were Li Chengxian and Emperor Hongtai, followed by several deputy palace masters, as well as Li Chengze and Murong Jing.

Li Chengxian's cultivation was unfathomable, and his eyesight was exceptional. He saw two points of light rapidly approaching from a distance, and he was filled with excitement.

At the same time, I was also thinking about whether there was anything I had overlooked, for fear of making any mistakes.

Among these people, the most excited was the Ninth Prince, Li Chengze.

He already knew that an elder from the Qingyun Sect would come to guide him, but he didn't expect such a heavyweight figure to arrive.

As long as he performs well and gains the favor of the sect leader and his senior uncle, he will soar to great heights and have a bright future!

What is the mere Great Zhou Dynasty worth? His ambition should lie in the land of a hundred kingdoms.

……

"Stop following me around all the time, I'm going to take on an apprentice."

Above the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, an old man with an air of otherworldly wisdom waved his hand dismissively, as if shooing away flies.

The elders of the Qingyun Sect behind him looked helpless and advised, "This disciple, Elder Chen has already taken a liking to him, you can't snatch him away!"

"Make that little guy tell me himself."

The old man snorted coldly, his speed increased dramatically, and he transformed into a streak of light, leaving the Qingyun Sect elders behind him far behind.

"Do your best and leave the rest to fate."

The elder of Qingyun Sect sighed.

Elder Chen is a titled elder of the sect, holding a prestigious position, and he cannot afford to offend him.

The person in front of him was the sect leader's uncle, a very important figure, and he had to be careful when he spoke.

With Gu Fengyang's strength, he traversed the skies above the capital and arrived at Qingyun Academy in less than half a cup of tea's time.

"Greetings, Venerable One of the Sect!"

Led by Li Chengxian, the group bowed to Gu Fengyang in a grand ceremony, the sounds of their respect echoing through the mountains and forests.

Gu Fengyang disregarded these formalities and simply asked, "Where is that disciple who awakened the Heavenly Dragon bloodline?"

Hearing that the sect's venerable master had come looking for him as soon as possible, Li Chengze was overjoyed, but he still had to pretend to be calm.

"Li Chengze".

Emperor Hongtai and Palace Master Qingyun spoke almost simultaneously, their gazes meeting briefly in the air before they both looked away.

Li Chengze didn't care about these details; he just wanted to perform well.

"Junior Li Chengze greets Your Excellency!"

As Li Chengze bowed in respect, he secretly activated the blood within his body, and his aura suddenly burst forth.

A powerful surge of qi and blood emanated from his body, gradually turning his skin red—a manifestation of the qi and blood becoming tangible.

Moreover, it faintly coalesced into the shape of a blood dragon, coiling around Li Chengze's body, baring its fangs and claws, emitting a low roar like an angry dragon, with an astonishing aura!

"Quite talented!"

Gu Fengyang nodded in satisfaction, which made Li Chengze even happier.

As soon as he finished speaking, countless envious and jealous gazes were cast upon Li Chengze, including those from the vice master of the academy.

"Have all the top ten disciples on your Qingyun Ranking come out," Gu Fengyang said calmly.

Li Chengxian quickly used his inner energy to select the top ten people on the Qingyun Ranking in the martial arts training square.

At the same time, Murong Jing also stepped forward.

Those who ranked in the top ten of the Qingyun List knew what a great opportunity they were facing, and they were eager to use all their knowledge to show their abilities.

"Your talent is quite good, little girl. You have a pure water elemental root, so your future achievements are not low."

Gu Fengyang's gaze fell only on Murong Jing, which made the other geniuses hang their heads in dejection, like defeated roosters.

"It's a pity that I no longer accept female disciples."

"No, why are there only nine people in the top ten of the Azure Cloud Ranking here?" Gu Fengyang asked in confusion.

Li Chengxian quickly explained, "The person ranked third on the Azure Cloud Ranking is named Fang Yuan. He has exceptionally high talent and once defeated a Foundation Establishment True Person in the Innate Realm. However, he is not a disciple of my academy, so he is not here."

"Such amazing talent?" Gu Feng raised an eyebrow.

Where is he now?

Li Chengxian was about to speak when he interrupted, "Just now..."

Just then, a streak of azure light descended from the sky, revealing the Qingyun Sect elder who had been left behind.

"Elder, this female disciple has already become Elder Yun's disciple."

Seeing Gu Fengyang looking at Murong Jing, Wang Ting assumed that he had considered taking her as a disciple, and quickly spoke up.

Gu Fengyang glanced at him sideways and said irritably, "I never said I would take her as my disciple."

"Li Chengze, come here, come with me!"

While everyone was still in shock, Gu Fengyang reached out his hand, already intending to leave with the Ninth Prince on a cloud, and did so very quickly.

"Sir, if you do this, I won't be able to explain myself when I get back!"

Wang Ting was closer to Li Chengze, so he grabbed him and interrupted Gu Fengyang's attempt to leave.

"You're going to stop me?" Gu Fengyang's tone was cold.

"I wouldn't dare, but it's really..."

Wang Ting had a long face and apologized repeatedly, almost bending over to the ground, but he still couldn't let go of Li Chengze.

Boom... Boom... Boom... Boom...

Suddenly, Gu Fengyang, Wang Ting, Li Chengxian, and Emperor Hongtai, who were present, all sensed the tremor between heaven and earth.

Although the distance between them is far, they are still within the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so their perception cannot be wrong.

"Is someone in your Great Zhou Dynasty about to break through to the Golden Core Realm?" Gu Fengyang asked.

Li Chengxian shook his head decisively and turned to look at Emperor Hongtai.

Emperor Hongtai felt uneasy, his mind racing with thoughts of whether any of his ancestors might be on the verge of a breakthrough, but none of them were!

"Could it be that some powerful rogue cultivator happened to come to the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty to break through?" Emperor Hongtai asked tentatively.

Gu Fengyang remained silent, closing his eyes as wisps of divine sense emanated from him, subtly sensing the changes in the world.

After a long while.

He suddenly opened his eyes, as if a sharp light was shooting out from them.

"It's not that someone is undergoing tribulation, but rather that someone is breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, causing this extraordinary phenomenon!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengxian and Emperor Hongtai were extremely shocked.

When an unparalleled genius breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage, it will trigger extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth, and bring down auspicious omens.

But I have never heard of anyone causing such a celestial phenomenon during the Foundation Establishment stage that would shake the heavens and earth; that is often a celestial tribulation!

"It's in that direction!"
