Chapter 249: Chapter 131: A Ten-Thousand-Zhang Pillar of Light
What?!
That Nine-Life Celestial Pride... turned out to be him.
An uproar instantly erupted on the Flying Vessel.
Even these disciples of the Five Great Sects had heard of this Nine-Life Celestial Pride. After all, since his defeat in that one battle, the now-famous White-clothed Daoist had grown at an astonishing pace, sweeping aside his peers in the Profound Celestial Sect and making a grand name for himself.
He practically mirrored the invincibility of the Confucian Sword Immortal in his youth!
He even showed faint signs of becoming the number one prodigy among the youth of the Five Great Sects.
As the White-clothed Daoist’s fame grew, so too did the renown of the Nine-Life Celestial Pride who had defeated him in a single, stunning appearance. He became a household name throughout the Five Sects of the Eastern Domain.
"The Nine-Life Celestial Pride... so he hadn’t even reached the Foundation Establishment Realm yet."
"Nine Times Life-taking... is it really this terrifying?! Why weren’t the past Life Takers recorded in the sect’s annals nearly this frightening..."
BOOM!
The next instant, the world trembled.
From within the abandoned residence, a terrifying, seven-colored, lustrous divine light erupted from the Nine-Life Celestial Pride. It shot straight into the clouds, soaring far higher than ten thousand feet.
This terrifying scene could be clearly sensed across nearly the entire Eastern Domain World, even in the distant Cultivation Realm, nestled among mountains hundreds of thousands of miles away.
"What terrifying might!"
"Who is it!"
"Wait, that’s a pillar of light ten thousand feet tall!"
"Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment! That’s the legendary, highest level of Foundation Establishment! After a thousand years, the Eastern Domain World has finally produced another True Dragon Prodigy who has achieved it! Which sect’s disciple is this?"
On this day, even True Core Great Cultivators were stirred into action. They broke out of their seclusion one after another, gazing from afar at the terrifying phenomenon over the distant Daqi Imperial Capital.
Soon, they were left in utter shock.
Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment creates a ten-thousand-foot pillar of light that is impossible to hide; it’s visible across the entire Eastern Domain World.
However, even Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment has different tiers of quality.
But the difference wasn’t huge, usually amounting to only an extra thousand feet or so at most.
The taller the pillar, the more profound the foundation.
It was just... they had never before seen a pillar of light that so blatantly surpassed the ten-thousand-foot mark.
"It’s reached thirty thousand feet!"
"How is that possible?"
"Since when could a Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment produce a pillar of light over eleven thousand feet tall! Who is this person..."
At this moment, one True Core Giant after another began performing divinations, trying to deduce the person’s origins and identity. But to their dismay, they came up with nothing.
It was as if some great expert was acting as his Guardian, for they could find no trace of him at all.
At that moment, the Longevity Dao Tree on Su Chen’s body slowly unfurled, shielding him from all attempts at divination and scrying.
Before long, they realized they had been shocked far too soon.
Because...
"Look!"
"The pillar of light is still growing! Thirty thousand feet wasn’t even his limit!"
"Heavens!"
"Is this really Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment?"
Countless shocked cries rang out.
If the Nascent Soul Giants of the Five Great Sects hadn’t already departed for the Celestial War Battlefield to hunt for traces of Extreme Cultivators following a warning from the Heavenly Secret, they too would likely be staring, dumbfounded.
Soon, the Primordial Qi Pillar reached its peak.
Just shy of one hundred thousand feet!
"This..."
The Eastern Domain was in an uproar!
BOOM!
The fastest to react was the Heavenly Patrol Guard’s Flying Vessel, the one closest to Su Chen. After all, Yunle was a True Disciple of the Great Li Sword Sect, and his reactions were lightning-fast. He cast aside any suspicion that Su Chen might be an Extreme Realm Immortal.
He shot over at top speed.
’As long as he isn’t an Extreme Realm Immortal, we’ll take him! Even if he’s the most wicked demon imaginable, the Great Li Sword Sect will have him! This person’s Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment is unprecedented, likely one-of-a-kind in all the world. We absolutely cannot let him slip away.’
"Fellow Daoist!"
"Join my Great Li Sword Sect!"
Yunle yelled.
At that moment, the other members of the Four Great Sects on the Heavenly Patrol Guard’s Flying Vessel grew frantic. They too rushed over, desperate to recruit this Nine Lives Prodigy into their own Sects.
"Yunle!"
"How dare you!"
"My Profound Celestial Sect is the number one sect in the Eastern Domain! If he’s going to join anyone, it should be us..."
The next moment, they all froze, dumbfounded.
Because the Primordial Qi Pillar, which stood at just shy of one hundred thousand feet, at that very moment, took the final step. It closed the last gap to reach a terrifying height of one hundred thousand feet, and its dazzling golden light was instantly tinged with a noble purple.
A purple, one-hundred-thousand-foot pillar of light!
Ten times the height of a normal Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment!
