Supreme Uprising

“I’ll swallow a golden pill and become the master of my own destiny!”

This saying was something the Flame Emperor had occasionally heard back in the Da Alliance. He liked the second phrase and had thus memorized it in his heart.

However, he had always treated this saying as a sort of fantasy. Now, when this smooth round Yuan Venerate Divine Mandate entered his body and fused with his soul, the Flame Emperor sensed the truth in that saying.

He gently moved his hands and could sense space, time, and the world around him.

He could even feel time flowing around him and could reverse it once again at will.

All this was a dreamlike experience for him!

Yuan Venerate! He was already a Yuan Venerate! He had so easily become a Yuan Venerate!

Besides the Flame Emperor, Lu Qubing and the others were also comprehending the changes in their bodies while feeling both surprised and shocked.

They had already become Yuan Venerates. They had now become peak existences within the Human Race. They no longer needed to live under Luo Yunyang’s Rising Sky Feather Sect. They could wander as far as they wanted!

Countless thoughts went through the minds of these people. There was excitement, lament, slight madness…

“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Great Heavenly Venerate Rubble might have been the one closest to the Yuan Venerate, but he therefore knew that becoming a Yuan Venerate was not easy.

Thus, he displayed the utmost devotion and respect when he thanked Luo Yunyang.

Although Luo Yunyang was feeling somewhat disappointed with Great Heavenly Venerate Rubble’s decision, things had already progressed so he just said, “There is no need to stand on ceremony.”

“Rubble, lead them so they can familiarize themselves with this power. It would be best if everyone could develop their own unique cultivation technique. This is the only way for them to truly bring out their Yuan Venerate powers.”

Naturally, the Great Heavenly Venerate wouldn’t reject Luo Yunyang’s instructions. He nodded and headed off with the Flame Emperor and the rest into seclusion.

After all, their current power was way beyond what they had expected. If they didn’t properly get used to it, who knew what sort of problems it might cause?

Luo Yunyang didn’t immediately leave this time. Instead, he strolled into a sacred ground sealed by an array formation and observed a small hill bursting with vitality.

It was the hill where Yunxi was currently in seclusion!

Yunxi had searched frantically for her child to no avail. Ultimately, after not finding anything, she had entered seclusion.

She knew very well that her mindless search wasn’t as effective as a simple order given by Luo Yunyang. Luo Yunyang’s spirit consciousness had already scoured the 36 Great Cosmoses and found nothing. This caused Yunxi a lot of despair, so she suddenly channeled this despair and frantic madness into cultivation.

She had reached the sixth-level Heavenly Venerate!

Yunxi’s progress could be considered extremely great. Although she had Luo Yunyang’s large quantity of resources to support her, Yunxi’s natural aptitude meant that ascending to the sixth-level Heavenly Venerate was very difficult.

However, she had already become a sixth-level Heavenly Venerate.

Luo Yunyang had also searched Tianding Realm for his beloved child, mother, and sister but hadn’t found anything.

He had originally wanted to ask the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor for help. Unfortunately, their relationship had changed, so Luo Yunyang chose to give up on such thoughts.

Furthermore, if they weren’t in Tianding Realm, the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor might not be able to deduce where they were either.

After a long sigh, Luo Yunyang flicked his sleeves and vanished from this sacred ground.

More than 1,000 Heavenly Venerates gathered in one place could be considered a grand occasion. Many of the gathered Heavenly Venerates were familiar with the others, and some bore grudges between them.

However, at that moment, not a single person dared to make an issue over previous grudges. They didn’t even shoot any angry glares at parties they weren’t too pleased with.

This was not because their blood had already cooled or they had let go of these grievances. Instead, it was because this opportunity was too important to all these people.

A 60% chance of ascending to the Yuan Venerate was a one-in-a-million opportunity for these Heavenly Venerates.

If they wasted it, they would definitely regret it and commit suicide. Thus, even if they encountered their greatest enemy, it would have to wait until their cultivation base had risen.

Following the instructions of a few attendants, everyone found a spot and sat down in a lotus position. They were like a school of kids awaiting a feast, their eyes firmly fixed at what was in front of them.

“Greetings, Your Majesty!” They respectfully greeted Luo Yunyang without needing any direction the moment he appeared.

Luo Yunyang put up a hand and said, “Alright, no need to stand on ceremony, everyone. I believe that the various hall masters have already informed you all about the objective of your presence here.”

“I only have one thing to say. There are some risks to this advancement. If anyone feels unwilling to take up this risk, they can leave now.”

Luo Yunyang’s voice wasn’t loud but it was heard by everyone. None of these powerhouses spoke, and nobody shirked away either.

To be frank, many of them had used up a lot of personal favors to get this opportunity.

Giving up such an opportunity would simply be a huge joke!

Luo Yunyang had already anticipated this outcome. The reason he had said all this was entirely to make these powerhouses firm their resolve.

After confirming that nobody would be backing out, Luo Yunyang waved his sleeves and 1,000 Yuan Venerate Divine Mandates flew toward the crowd.

At the same time, his words quickly played out in the minds of every single one of these people.

“You will each be chosen by a piece of Yuan Venerate Divine Mandate. During the process of fusing with it, you must keep a stable mind. If you aren’t able to resist the outflow of the Yuan Venerate Divine Mandate, it will ultimately make your body implode!”

“Everyone can utilize their own technique. When it is appropriate, your personal Yuan Venerate Divine Mandate will land beside you…”

Any entity that could become a Heavenly Venerate was no fool. Furthermore, the current situation was extremely important to them.

Therefore, when Luo Yunyang’s voice was heard, practically everyone started to conjure their cultivation technique.

Even though they hoped to get a more impressive Yuan Venerate Divine Mandate, they also knew that they couldn’t insist on it.

Yuan Venerate Divine Mandates flew toward the Heavenly Venerates like shooting stars. As the Yuan Venerate Divine Mandates already contained complete nomological laws, the Heavenly Venerates basically didn’t have to care about the integration process.

They just had to steel their minds to prevent themselves from imploding.

One day, two days, three days…

Compared to the perfected Yuan Venerate Divine Mandates the Flame Emperor and the others had received, these ordinary Yuan Venerate Divine Mandates were full of uncertainty. This was also why a user would need great willpower to fuse his body and mind with the Yuan Venerate Divine Mandate.

If it couldn’t fuse properly, then the result would be bodily implosion.

“Ahh!” During that stifling peace, someone suddenly shouted out. This cry sounded mournful and full of fear.

Luo Yunyang looked over and saw a Heavenly Venerate with the appearance of a 50-year-old man. His entire face was sinister, and his eyes seemed to have a terrifying, crazy look.

Upon seeing this, Luo Yunyang knew that if he didn’t do anything, that Heavenly Venerate wouldn’t be able to keep going.

He paused for a moment before bellowing.

His bellow made the seemingly crazed Heavenly Venerate calm down immediately. That Heavenly Venerate had cultivated for many years and knew he had escaped a bodily implosion.

The instant the Yuan Venerate Divine Mandate in his body calmed down, he immediately urged his mind to rapidly fuse with that Yuan Venerate Divine Mandate.

When he opened his eyes once again, he felt that everything about him was no longer the same. The cultivation techniques he had originally cultivated had already been wasted, and his mind and soul were already one with the Yuan Venerate Divine Mandate.

Yuan Venerate… He was already a Yuan Venerate. Although he was the most ordinary Taishi Yuan Venerate, he was many times more powerful than he had ever been.

After getting used to his body, he approached Luo Yunyang and bowed. “Jin Li can’t thank Your Majesty enough for your grace, Human Ruler. If Your Majesty has any instructions, I am willing to brave through fire without resting.”

“You are the first to successfully integrate the Divine Mandate. Very good.” Luo Yunyang smiled at Jin Li. “Stay aside and get some rest for the time being!”

Although most Heavenly Venerates were very focused on fusing with the Divine Mandate, they could still clearly sense Jin Li’s recent experience.

Upon hearing Luo Yunyang’s words, all of them were now full of anticipation. After all, becoming Yuan Venerates was their dream. Now, this dream was becoming a reality.

As the seated Heavenly Venerates started to rise, this implied that the number of people who had successfully integrated the Divine Mandate and advanced to the Yuan Venerate was increasing. In just half an hour, 800 people had successfully integrated the Yuan Venerate Divine Mandate.

The around 200 individuals that didn’t succeed mostly had their souls disintegrated.

Even though Luo Yunyang tried to help, some of these Heavenly Venerates faced situations even Luo Yunyang was unable to help suppress.

However, an 80% success rate was very exciting.

As he led the 800 Yuan Venerates out of this sealed space, Luo Yunyang saw that Yuan Venerate White Crane had an anxious look on his face.

“Right Hall Master, did something happen?” Based on Luo Yunyang’s understanding, Yuan Venerate White Crane wasn’t someone who lost his cool easily. His current panicky state meant that something big had happened.

“Your Majesty, there’s trouble. The people of the Golden Sacred Land have captured the Left Hall Master and they want you to personally go over!” Yuan Venerate White Crane said anxiously.
