At the same time, Ye Chuan’s cultivation began to surge!
Immense immortal power gushed forth from every limb and bone. The aura of the peak Golden Immortal Realm was instantly shattered, and Ye Chuan stepped directly into the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm.
Early-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal!
When Yue Qingyi sensed Ye Chuan’s aura, her eyes flickered slightly.
Although she had long since guessed that Ye Chuan could break through, she had not expected it to happen so quickly.
There was almost no bottleneck at all.
He did not even display the disordered aura that normally accompanied a cultivator’s breakthrough.
The chaotic power within Ye Chuan was like a bottomless abyss. The moment the lunar immortal power entered it, it was completely swallowed and refined before being transformed into an even purer strength and sent back to him.
Just as Yue Qingyi was about to speak, she suddenly froze. She realized that Ye Chuan was still absorbing immortal power.
Ye Chuan’s aura continued to rise—
Early-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal!
Mid-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal!
Late-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal!
Peak Taiyi Golden Immortal!
In a mere few dozen breaths, he had crossed a path that other cultivators might not be able to complete even after thousands or tens of thousands of years!
Above the Moon God Hall, the immortal qi of heaven and earth suddenly began to churn violently.
The skies above the Taiyi Immortal Sect had been clear, but a gigantic vortex of immortal power abruptly appeared. Countless strands of silver-white moonlight descended from the Ninth Heaven like a river spanning heaven and earth, pouring directly into the Moon God Hall!
Boom!
The entire Taiyi Immortal Sect trembled slightly!
“What’s going on?!”
“It’s coming from the Moon God Hall!”
“That lunar immortal power is terrifying. Is Ancestor Yue breaking through?”
“No, that can’t be right. Ancestor Yue is already an Immortal King. If she were breaking through, the disturbance would be far greater than this!”
Countless disciples rushed out of their abodes and looked up at the silver-white pillar of light connecting heaven and earth, their faces filled with shock.
The elders of the various peaks also appeared one after another.
They stood in midair, gazing toward the Moon God Hall. The confusion in their eyes gradually turned into astonishment.
Because they sensed another aura.
It did not belong to Yue Qingyi.
It belonged to Ye Chuan—
“Holy Son Ye?”
“Wasn’t he at the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm?”
“This aura… the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm?!”
An elder had only just finished speaking when the expression on his face froze.
Ye Chuan’s aura had not stopped rising.
Inside the Moon God Hall.
The power within Ye Chuan’s body had already accumulated to an utterly terrifying level.
There should have been an enormous chasm between the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm and the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm.
Countless prodigies became stuck at this step, unable to advance even a fraction for the rest of their lives.
But Ye Chuan had no such obstacle. After all, his current cultivation had only been achieved through a single year of cultivation.
He was only twenty years old.
Then—
Crack.
Early-stage Daluo Golden Immortal!
Boom—
An even more terrifying aura erupted from within the Moon God Hall. A wisp of black-gold chaotic light suddenly appeared amid the silver-white moonlight.
The instant that light emerged, it forced the entire sky to darken for a moment.
Everyone fell silent at that instant.
Lu Taixu, the sect master of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, stood atop the main peak and stared toward the Moon God Hall, his pupils contracting slightly.
“The Daluo Golden Immortal Realm…”
Several Supreme Elders beside him drew in sharp breaths almost simultaneously when they heard this.
“Holy Son Ye has broken through to the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm?”
“How long has it been?”
“Before entering the Moon God Hall today, wasn’t he only at the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm?”
“Between the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm and the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm lies an entire major realm—the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm!”
An elder muttered, “This is insane. Truly insane. He entered the sect at the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm two days ago, and now he’s broken through to the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm?”
“Is this the talent of the number-one genius throughout the ages?”
Inside the Moon God Hall.
Yue Qingyi was also watching Ye Chuan. She could clearly sense what was happening inside his body.
An ordinary cultivator’s physical body would have long since begun to rupture under the strain of such immense lunar immortal power. Their soul would also have fallen into chaos, unable to bear the laws contained within it.
But Ye Chuan had not.
His body was like a boundless world.
No matter how much lunar immortal power entered it, all it did was make that world even more vast.
“Your body…” Yue Qingyi said softly.
Ye Chuan opened his eyes. “What about it?”
Yue Qingyi stared at him. For the first time, she did not know how to describe what she was seeing.
After a moment, she slowly said, “I cannot understand it.”
“It’s fine. There are still things you can’t understand.” Ye Chuan smiled. At this moment, his soul was intertwined with hers.
In truth, this feeling was no different from what he had experienced when sleeping with Yue Qingyi.
Yue Qingyi lightly clenched her teeth. “…”
She did not say anything else and simply continued circulating the Art of Lunar Unity.
The cycle of the soul contract accelerated once again—
Ye Chuan’s Daluo Golden Immortal aura also began to rise further!
Early-stage Daluo Golden Immortal!
Mid-stage Daluo Golden Immortal!
Late-stage Daluo Golden Immortal!
Peak Daluo Golden Immortal!
At this moment, the heavenly phenomenon outside the Moon God Hall completely spiraled out of control!
The black-gold chaotic light and the silver-white moonlight intertwined, transforming into a gigantic full moon that suppressed the entire sky!
Every disciple of the Taiyi Immortal Sect raised their head, staring blankly at the scene.
“He broke through again?”
“That’s impossible, right?”
“Wasn’t he only at the early stage of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm just now?”
“This aura now… the peak of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm?”
Some people’s voices trembled.
Because they had witnessed Ye Chuan personally climb from the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm all the way to the peak of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm!
It had been as easy as eating or drinking water!
Just as everyone thought Ye Chuan would continue breaking through, the black-gold full moon above the Moon God Hall suddenly stopped.
Countless great-dao patterns slowly circulated across the surface of the moon, radiating an aura that far exceeded the limit an ordinary Daluo Golden Immortal could withstand.
Yet the barrier to the Immortal Venerable Realm did not shatter as directly as the previous barriers had.
It was not that Ye Chuan was incapable of breaking through.
Rather, the lunar immortal power accumulated within the soul contract was no longer sufficient to support the continued advancement of his cultivation.
The lunar laws within Yue Qingyi remained vast and boundless. However, if she continued circulating the Art of Lunar Unity, the soul contract would no longer draw mere immortal power. It would begin extracting her own origin—the foundation she had accumulated over more than a hundred thousand years of cultivation.
Yue Qingyi sensed this and immediately halted the technique.
The silver-white pillar of light connecting heaven and earth gradually faded away. The black-gold full moon suppressing the skies above the Taiyi Immortal Sect also slowly dimmed, eventually transforming into countless specks of light that descended toward Moon God Peak.
The aura continuously rising within Ye Chuan’s body stabilized as well.
Peak Daluo Golden Immortal.
Although he had not truly stepped into the Immortal Venerable Realm, the pressure he now emitted had already caused the space within the Moon God Hall to distort slightly.
With every breath he took, the surrounding immortal qi gathered toward him of its own accord.
Even the formation inscriptions Yue Qingyi had originally arranged inside the hall briefly stagnated under the influence of Ye Chuan’s aura.
Ye Chuan slowly opened his eyes.
A black-gold light flashed across the depths of his eyes before quickly returning to their usual calm.
He sensed the power within his body, then looked at Yue Qingyi. “Why did you stop?”
Yue Qingyi was silent for a moment before replying calmly, “If we continued, the soul contract would begin drawing upon my origin.”
His origin?
Ye Chuan pondered this.
