Chapter 40: Chaos Palm, Breaking Through and Coming out of Seclusion

Not long ago, Jiang Yiming was sitting cross-legged in his residence in the Lingyun Sect.

A terrifying aura was being emitted from his body.

His body had become somewhat illusory and transparent. Aqua-colored spiritual energy continuously flowed along the meridians in his body.

In his sea of Qi, a golden soul core was slowly cracking open.

The phantom of a scarlet baby gradually appeared.

At the same time, an extremely strange scene also appeared in Jiang Yiming’s mind.

Amid the chaos where one was practically blind, a huge palm was descending from the sky.

The huge pressure from the palm shook his mind, causing him to be in extreme pain.

A piece of information suddenly entered Jiang Yiming’s memory.

Chaos Palm!

It was the second move of the Chaos Celestial Technique.

When this palm was used, the world would change color, and all living beings would prostrate.

A single palm could destroy mountains and break rivers!

As time slowly passed, the nascent soul in Jiang Yiming’s body gradually condensed into form.

The aura around him also became more domineering, even wisps of it could make people tremble in fear.

The intense pain Jiang Yiming was feeling was just like a mountain pressing down on him.

Jiang Yiming was constantly under extreme pressure.

Boom!

All of a sudden, the nascent soul was completely formed.

Jiang Yiming’s body instantly erupted with an overwhelming aura.

This aura was like the aftermath of an explosion, crazily sweeping out in all directions.

The entire residence shook as if it was about to be unable to withstand the huge impact.

After a moment, the impact finally calmed down.

Jiang Yiming deeply exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.

As he inhaled and exhaled, it was as if he was interacting with the surrounding spiritual energy.

Vaguely, he had a feeling of being able to fuse with Heaven and Earth.

“I’ve finally broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm,” Jiang Yiming muttered, excitement flashing through his eyes.

However, before he had time to carefully feel the changes brought about by the advancement in his cultivation realm, the ground suddenly shook violently.

His body shook as well, which made him abruptly raise his head to look in the direction of the mountain gates.

“Oh shit, could it be that someone is attacking the Thousand Changing Four Symbols Array?” Thinking of this, Jiang Yiming didn’t dare to delay any longer and immediately erupted with his powerful aura.

…

In front of the mountain gates of the Lingyun Sect, Jiang Yiming stepped out from the inner area of the sect and slowly landed in front of his disciples.

When Huang Chaoyu and the others saw that their Master had come out of seclusion, they were overjoyed and quickly surrounded him as they said in surprise, “Master, you’ve finally come out of seclusion!”

They couldn’t see through Jiang Yiming’s realm, but the way Jiang Yiming’s aura became more mysterious and terrifying after his breakthrough made them feel that their Master was unfathomable and powerful.

What they were most worried about just now was that the Huoyun Sect’s attack would affect their Master’s secluded cultivation.

Now, it seemed that not only was their Master not affected by them, but he had even successfully made a breakthrough. With this, the disciples immediately felt much more relaxed.

Jiang Yiming nodded and asked with a smile, “When I was still in secluded cultivation just now, I suddenly felt the ground shaking. Did someone attack our sect’s protection array?”

Huang Chaoyu hurriedly pointed at Yuan Hongkong who was in the air and said, “Master, it’s that person. He’s the supreme elder of the Huoyun Sect. He’s an expert in the Incarnation Realm!”

“The Incarnation Realm?!” Jiang Yiming couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows. He immediately understood the situation.

The Thousand Changing Four Symbols Array could be said to have no upper limit, but the power of the array was determined by the strength of the person who set it up.

Gu Lingfei was in the early-stage of the Core Formation Realm, thus the array he set up could block Nascent Soul Realm cultivators with no issues at all.

However, it would be difficult for the array to stop someone at the Incarnation Realm.

Jiang Yiming’s eyes met Yuan Hongkong’s. They could see the caution in each other’s eyes.

Then, Jiang Yiming glanced at the crowd below, who were looking at him in surprise.

Although he had been in secluded cultivation for the past few days, he immediately understood what was happening.

“Looks like the Huoyun Sect wants to set us as an example.”

Shangguan Qingyun hurriedly agreed, “Master, I think you’re right. Since they have deployed such troops, they must be determined to achieve their goal.”

“Determined to achieve their goal?” Jiang Yiming snorted coldly and said indifferently, “They’ll have to have the ability to do so if they want to set the Lingyun Sect as an example!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yiming suddenly soared into the air and flew to the front of Yuan Hongkong alone.

Seeing this, Wu Poshan flew to Yuan Hongkong’s side. He sized up Jiang Yiming and mocked, “So you’re the sect leader of the Lingyun Sect? After being a coward for so long, you’re finally willing to come out?”

Jiang Yiming only glanced at him indifferently and didn’t respond to him. Instead, he looked at Yuan Hongkong.

Their gazes collided in the air.

Although Yuan Hongkong’s expression didn’t change, Jiang Yiming could see the confusion in his eyes.

Yuan Hongkong was indeed feeling quite confused because he couldn’t see through Jiang Yiming’s cultivation at all!

Jiang Yiming’s body was emitting faint spiritual energy, which made it apparent he was a cultivator, yet he couldn’t see through Jiang Yiming’s cultivation.

Yuan Poshan didn’t believe that a young man who didn’t look much older than his grand-disciples could have a cultivation realm higher than him.

In that case, there was only one possibility, and that was that Jiang Yiming had some kind of magical treasure that could conceal his aura.

Yuan Hongkong thought about it for a moment, and his gaze immediately fell on the array.

It was most likely that the array had isolated Jiang Yiming’s aura.

Thinking of this, Yuan Hongkong instantly relaxed quite a bit.

Since Jiang Yiming was trying to pull tricks, he was definitely not his match.

Jiang Yiming didn’t know that Yuan Hongkong was thinking so much, so he simply snorted, “I knew you would come, so I prepared some gifts for you. How is it? Did I make you uncomfortable with such a turtle shell?”

Wu Poshan’s face instantly darkened. Just as he was about to rebuke, Yuan Hongkong sneered, “You say it’s a turtle shell, but I think it’s just an eggshell. It’s too fragile! I merely slapped it lightly and your array seems like it’s not able to withstand my attack. I advise you to take the initiative to undo the array and surrender. Otherwise, after I break this array, your ending might not be too good.”

“Oh? Well, you can try,” Jiang Yiming’s expression remained unchanged.

“Humph, playing all high and mighty!”

Yuan Hongkong immediately raised his palm and circulated his spiritual energy.

The power of Heaven and Earth seemed to merge into his palm in an instant.

A kind of power that was like it could destroy Heaven and Earth condensed in his palm.

Jiang Yiming narrowed his eyes and said calmly, “My array doesn’t just defend!”

As he said this, a powerful aura suddenly burst out from his body.

The aura was like a stream of light as it poured into the array disk.

In an instant, the array that was originally emitting a faint light suddenly burst with blue light.

To everyone’s shock, the sky and the ground changed color, and the mountain peak suddenly shook.

An overbearing aura instantly filled the entire Lingyun Sect.

The four symbols abruptly appeared!
