Chapter 1167
Because of Xing Dao Li's appearance, Zi Chen had signed a peace treaty with the other major powers, allowing the Everlasting Sect to enjoy a thousand years of peace.
To cultivators, a thousand years was nothing. However, to the Everlasting Sect, which had the Ancient Time Castle, this thousand years was enough for the Everlasting Sect to make a qualitative leap.
A thousand years passed in the outside world, but a hundred thousand years passed in the Ancient Time Castle.
During the three years that Zi Chen had left the Everlasting Sect, the seniors of the Everlasting Sect had left one after another to temper themselves or refine the law fragments in seclusion.
Fifteen years later, Zi Chen had comprehended a law and given up on it.
The battle between the Everlasting Sect and the Devil Race had begun, and the Everlasting Sect's new generation of youths had begun to shine.
Two hundred years after Zi Chen had left the Everlasting Sect, the previous vice sect master, Wang Qiong, had returned from tempering himself.
Then, in front of everyone's eyes, Wang Qiong underwent his lightning tribulation and reached the Earth Origin realm, becoming the third Earth Origin expert of the Everlasting Sect. During that time, several of his soul weapons had shattered, but one had still managed to pass the tribulation and become an Earth Origin expert.
Wang Qiong's return was a good start for the Everlasting Sect. It was like an auspicious omen. Following that, one expert after another who had undergone their tribulations returned.
Ye Lang, Hei Feng, Wu Liu, and Zhang Tong also returned in the next hundred years to break through.
Their success rate was one hundred percent. This was all thanks to the fact that after following Zi Chen, they had used secret arts to refine their bodies. Their bodies had become incomparably powerful.
The first batch of people to benefit from Zi Chen's Three Pages Heavenly Book were these old people.
Although their mental, qi, and spirit weren't as perfect as Zi Chen's, they were still far stronger than ordinary people.
The Earth Origin experts who had comprehended law tribulations naturally attracted the attention of many powers. They understood that the Everlasting Sect had finally risen.
The Everlasting Sect had gone from being a sect that couldn't be ignored to a true major power in the Martial Heaven Continent.
In the five hundredth year, Longhu, who had been sleeping in the Ancient Time Castle for many years, finally woke up. After waking up, it was time for him to undergo his tribulation.
If it had awakened naturally, the giant energy egg would be the one to undergo the tribulation. After overcoming the tribulation, the giant egg would shatter and Longhu would be born. However, because of Zi Chen, Longhu had been born prematurely. Thus, the one to undergo the tribulation next would be his true body.
However, Longhu did not undergo the Tribulation right away. He was waiting for Zi Chen to return.
The tribulation that Longhu Sovereign was about to undergo would naturally cause an unforeseen event in the world. Due to the fact that he was too extraordinary, it was likely that many people would come to cause trouble during his tribulation.
There was only one Longhu Sovereign in the current world. Even the two Demon Sovereigns had wanted to kill Zi Chen and subdue the Longhu Sovereign. It was obvious how high his potential was. Therefore, Longhu couldn't afford to make any mistakes during his breakthrough.
He couldn't afford to be disturbed, and the Boundless Sect couldn't afford to lose Dragon-Tiger Sovereign either.
After Longhu, the Savage Dragon and the Flying Divine Tiger woke up one after another. However, like Longhu, they did not choose to undergo the Tribulation immediately.
Right now, the Boundless Sect didn't have the strength to protect them. They had to wait for Zi Chen to return, or for Zi Chen to break through.
Lv Peng's comprehension of the Dao of Formations had also reached greater mastery in the five hundred years. The Dao of Formations had descended from the heavens, and he controlled the ninety-nine formation flags to undergo the Tribulation.
This time, only forty-nine of the ninety-nine formation flags survived the Tribulation Lightning. The rest had all exploded, but Lv Peng was still happy.
After his breakthrough, the first thing Lv Peng did was to modify the Boundless Sect's formation. Then, he specially built a place to undergo the Tribulation. This was prepared for the Earth Origin Stage cultivators.
Of course, this project was extremely huge and couldn't be completed in a short period of time.
Next, the Boundless Sect sprouted up like bamboo shoots after a rain. One after another, Earth Origin Stage cultivators jumped out. The speed of their emergence was undeniably fast and terrifying.
Originally, the Five Elements forces only needed to rely on their mood to deal with the Boundless Sect. However, with so many Earth Origin Stage cultivators jumping out from the Boundless Sect, they had no choice but to be wary. They had to consider carefully before making a move.
Their worries from so many years ago had truly become reality. Some of the beasts had also broken through to the Earth Origin Stage.
In the past few years, the Boundless Sect had been very active. It had become the focus of all the Martial Heaven Continent's powers. However, the Boundless Sect's most active master, Zi Chen, had disappeared for a long time. It had been so long that many people had forgotten about his existence and his glorious past.
Finally, five hundred years after Zi Chen had left the Boundless Sect, the Boundless Sect welcomed another person who had broken through. However, this person was very special in the Boundless Sect, so this breakthrough was extremely important.
The person who had broken through was Su Mengyao. After hundreds of years, she had finally comprehended the Ethereal Dao.
Her special status in the Boundless Sect was because of her position in the Boundless Sect. When the Ethereal Sect learned of this, it also attracted a great deal of attention. Many experts from that sect came to the Boundless Sect to protect Su Mengyao.
However, Su Mengyao's fellow disciples had all been very weak. Not a single one of them had broken through to the Earth Origin Stage. This time, the ones who had come were all seniors of the sect, as well as some existences in seclusion.
Before this, this news had only been known to a few higher-ups.
While Su Mengyao was going through the Heavenly Tribulation, there were more than forty Earth Origin Realm cultivators in the Wuji Sect. These forty plus Earth Origin Realm cultivators and the several Earth Origin Realm cultivators from the Floating Mist Sect surrounded Su Mengyao from the Heavenly Tribulation.
Under the lightning tribulation, other than the trees, there was nothing alive.
Because of her extraordinary comprehension, Su Mengyao's tribulation was the most severe one in the past few hundred years. It was also the most tightly guarded one.
As soon as she underwent her tribulation, many laws appeared. When people realized that there weren't just one or two laws, or ten or twenty laws, but forty-nine, they were all dumbfounded.
The Ethereal Sect's seniors were so shocked that they couldn't say a word.
The Way of Nature had 94 types of rules. Back then, Zi Chen had only seen 93 types, and he was still missing the Rule of Thunder. However, in front of Su Mengyao, the Rule of Thunder had appeared, and she had comprehended it. Although it was not profound, she had completely comprehended the power of nature.
After that, the forty-nine laws merged into one. That was the Ethereal Dao.
The foundation of the Ethereal Sect was the Ethereal Dao.
Looking at the Ethereal Dao that appeared once again, the Ethereal Dao seemed to have reached a climax. They were so excited that they couldn't help but tremble.
"The Ethereal Dao."
"It's indeed the Ethereal Dao. Haha, and it's the Ethereal Dao formed from forty-nine laws of nature. This is the first time in the history of the Ethereal Sect that something like this has appeared. There's hope for the Ethereal Sect to rise again."
"The Ethereal Dao pursues following one's heart. This is the most perfect Ethereal Dao. There's hope for the Ethereal Sect to rise again."
Looking at Su Mengyao undergoing her tribulation, everyone was excited but also worried. After so many years, it wasn't easy for the Ethereal Sect to have such an existence. Nothing must happen to her.
When the last lightning struck, Su Mengyao's body started to glow. Life force gushed out from her body. This was the Dao of Life of Wood, one of the laws of nature.
Su Mengyao's figure soared into the air. Ethereal energy circulated around her as if she was wearing a layer of illusory gauze. She was as ethereal as a fairy. At this moment, she was a peerless beauty, an untainted fairy.
"There's hope for the Ethereal Sect to rise again. How?" A voice sounded. A figure wrapped in laws appeared.
Wang Shan looked at the few old guys and said sarcastically, "Sister Mengyao is from the Wuji Sect. She's the wife of our Sect Leader. What does she have to do with the Ethereal Sect? We're not excited yet. Why are you guys so excited?"
"What's the point of staying in the Wuji Sect? Do you know where we come from? If I tell you, you'll be scared to death. We're from the Ethereal Sect, and we cultivate the Ethereal Dao. Our vision isn't in this world, but in another world. That's our foundation," argued one of the old guys.
Wang Shan curled his lips and said, "Old man, don't try to fool me with that. Who am I? I'm Wang Shan of Diyuan. The other world is no longer a secret to me. You said it so confidently, but in fact, you've lost the inheritance that you should have. I really don't know what right you have to be arrogant after losing the inheritance."
"Ignorant brat, what do you know? In the other world, there's no guidance. It means that the chances of survival are very small. Earth Yuan is just the starting point of another realm. The guidance at the starting point is the true foundation of an aristocratic family."
The old man snorted. "What's the point of being the overlord of the lowly Martial Heaven Continent? What can you accomplish?"
While the two sides were arguing, Su Mengyao broke through. Her figure slowly descended from the sky. The current her was even more unfathomable.
"Mengyao, I didn't expect you to comprehend the most perfect Ethereal Dao. Let's hurry back and tell the sect this good news."
"Yes, let's go back now. There's no point for you to stay here. Right now, you possess the most perfect Ethereal Dao. You're definitely the strongest. No one can restrain you. A mere Wuji Sect isn't worthy of you staying here."
"There's no point in being the overlord of this world. After we return, once you familiarize yourself with the Ethereal Dao, we'll escort you to another world. Your brilliance should blossom in that world."
Wang Shan was infuriated. He wished he could slap these old fellows to death.
Just as Su Mengyao was breaking through, a soaring sword intent appeared in another region. The one releasing that sword intent was also a peerlessly beautiful woman.
She had comprehended the Sword Dao.
In the distance stood two other women. Their appearances were not the slightest bit inferior to the one undergoing tribulation.
The three of them each had their own merits.
One of them emitted a hazy light. It was the light of the moon, the power of the moon. She stood on a mountain peak in the distance. Under the hazy moonlight, she seemed like she could fly away at any moment.
