Chapter 7185 Zi Yan’s True Cultivation Base
This aura... It truly is the might of the Grand Dao...
Li Yifu couldn’t help being astounded when he sensed this apocalyptic aura. His heart started beating erratically. This was precisely the power of the Grand Dao that he dreamed of obtaining!
Previously, he had only half believed in the Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect’s supposed ability to push people to the Heavenly Sovereign level. But for his own future, he had still decided to take the gamble. Even though the stakes involved the entire Immortal Ascension Gate, he didn’t mind; as long as he could become a Heavenly Sovereign, he could just create a new sect with an even greater legacy. More importantly, rather than having his name go down in history as the master of one sect among many, he would much prefer to be known as one of the few and mighty Heavenly Sovereigns!
Now, seeing that a Sovereign Lord like Feng Xinglie possessed such pure Grand Dao power, Li Yifu was certain that the Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect had the power to help him advance. And he was not the only one reinvigorated by this sight—the others who had come with him also saw hope for themselves.
Feng Xinglie’s aura continued to climb crazily. Thunder boomed in the air; lightning flashed; giant spatial tears spread through the void. Even Miao Yin and the others were trembling slightly in front of this immense power.
The aura he emanated stemmed from the will of the Grand Dao. And in front of this will, all living beings were merely ants of different sizes. Even a half-step Heavenly Sovereign like Li Yifu felt his soul shuddering.
This is the aura of a true Heavenly Sovereign! Qi Yunao is truly planning on passing down his complete legacy to Feng Xinglie!
Li Yifu’s eyes were shining. He now understood the process: Qi Yunao had planted a sliver of his own essence into Feng Xinglie as a Dao-seed. Feng Xinglie only had to cultivate normally and he was guaranteed to reach the Heavenly Sovereign realm. During this process, there would be practically no bottlenecks. It was no wonder his rate of advancement was so monstrous.
As his terrifying pressure raged, the void wailed as if it would crumble under this weight.
What a shame. That young man is too enraged and his power isn’t concentrated. Otherwise, there’s no way this little girl could stay standing!
Li Yifu sighed inside as he stared at the qi waves raging. Zi Yan was entirely correct. For one, this power was not Feng Xinglie’s, which meant he had a hard time controlling it anyway. Second, in this berserk state, his control dropped even more, which meant that he could not properly concentrate his power. His aura was mighty, but his use of energy was both less efficient and less effective than it could have been.
Even so, the academy’s disciples were practically suffocated by this terrifying pressure. They were shaking not out of fear, but because they were all beings born from the Grand Dao and living within the Grand Dao. Thus, its power automatically invoked a sense of reverence that they could not suppress. This was why everyone beneath the Heavenly Sovereign was irrelevant. It was not a matter of being able to resist; no one could even summon the will to resist.
What a terrifying power... It’s a good thing big sister managed to enrage him and make his Dao-heart unstable. If he could focus his domain’s power, it would be even more powerful than Li Yifu’s domain! Miao Yin nodded to herself. She had always been developing her strength in a low-key manner. But now it seemed she had missed countless chances to grow as a result of that. Her control over both the battlefield and people’s hearts was clearly lacking compared to Zi Yan’s.
Indeed, Zi Yan’s vision was sharp; she had instantly seen through Feng Xinglie’s character and the weakness in his heart, and she had taken action with these things in mind. If it hadn’t been for her mind games earlier, who knew they would even be able to resist this pressure? As for fighting against him, that would’ve been just a joke.
“This is the path that Qi Yunao prepared for you? It’s strong, but you didn’t pick this path yourself. No matter how strong it is, you remain nothing more than a puppet with your strings pulled by someone else!” Zi Yan stood there steadily. At some unknown point, a giant figure had appeared behind her.
This giant figure was a peerlessly beautiful woman. She looked as pure and ethereal as an immortal, but the black qi and devilish flames blazing around her made her seem as if she had emerged out of the underworld. Was she an immortal, or was she a devil? People couldn’t tell. But with her long hair and dress billowing in the wind, she had the unquestionable, inimitable aura of an unmatched sovereign.
Feng Xinglie’s wild aura was completely blocked by that giant figure’s aura. He was unable to affect Zi Yan.
“Is this a law manifestation?”
“No, the pressure is completely different!”
“The aura fluctuations are also different!”
The moment this figure appeared, everyone started commenting on it. They couldn’t tell what this figure was; nobody could tell whether she was a law manifestation or the manifestation of a divine technique. In any case, it was able to resist Feng Xinglie’s power.
“Wait, look at her cultivation!” shouted someone, and at that moment, everyone noticed that Zi Yan’s cultivation had suddenly grown from the sixth Heavenstage all the way to the ninth Heavenstage.
A person’s cultivation base could be distinguished based on a number of factors, such as their energy signature, the fluctuations of space around them, the way the laws of the world behaved around them, and so on. Certainly, even within the same realm, different people had auras at different levels, but that was a matter of quantity, not quality. The inherent quality of the aura was the same. So long as they weren’t concealing or disguising their cultivation base, even a novice should be able to tell their realm in principle. And naturally, no one present here was a novice.
So she was already this far ahead... Miao Yin was shocked. Zi Yan truly had hidden her power well.
“You really know how to dress as the pig to eat the tiger. Even I misjudged. Is the Heavenly Devil Zither helping you hide your aura?” On the opposing side, Feng Xinglie’s raging aura finally stopped climbing. It seemed it had reached the limit.
Zi Yan shook his head. “I did no such thing. For one, I hid my power so that I could stay with my husband and see what it feels like to be a normal woman protected by her husband. Also, if you think I need to have the Heavenly Devil Zither hide my aura, you are severely underestimating me. Furthermore, I remember someone saying that they would suppress their cultivation to the middle of the Sovereign Lord realm to fight us. But that someone isn’t standing by their promise, so I felt like there’s no need for me to keep hiding my strength!”
“You...!”
Feng Xinglie, who had just recovered some of his calm after activating his Grand Dao rune, instantly went berserk again. Indeed, due to his anger, he had unleashed all his power and forgotten to keep his cultivation suppressed. Now that Zi Yan pointed it out, it was like a slap in the face, and all his previous arrogance only made this slap all the more resounding.
Long Chen’s divine face-slapping technique was certainly unique and impossible to grasp. But after being with him for so long, Zi Yan had come to grasp some of his skills in the broader field of hitting people right where it hurt. In addition, the merger of the Heavenly Devil Zithers had affected her character as well, making her a lot more prone to this kind of wickedness.
“Slut, you can die now!”
Feng Xinglie once more went berserk and unleashed a furious attack. His hands clawed at the void, and Grand Dao flames burst out of him as he shot towards Zi Yan like a shooting star.
