To ensure that he would succeed in his breakthrough, Sacred Empress Bai Yueyin went into reclusion together with Jian Qingyang, so as to aid his breakthrough to the final realm.
Jian Qingyang’s cultivation was initially not very smooth, but thanks to Bai Yueyin’s help, in which she gathered endless amounts of pure Yang energy, she managed to aid Jian Qingyang’s control of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi.
He and Bai Yueyin had been together for a long time and they had cultivated together all along. Bai Yueyin’s understanding of his martial cultivation was as good as his.
About three days before the battle, Jian Qingyang’s cultivation reached a critical moment.
At this moment, his insight into the pure Yang laws had reached an extreme. He entered an ethereal state in which he was in no way to be disturbed. However, as he was tightly sealed in a cultivation chamber, and with Bai Yueyin’s protecting him, Jian Qingyang had no worries about such things.
Jian Qingyang sat in the Central State Divine Palace’s chamber, while completely focused without any distractions. Pure Yang energy was spewing out from his pores, and after every complete circulation, he would absorb it back into his body. The entire chamber was shimmering with divine light.
Jian Qingyang had a serene expression as he closed his eyes tightly. He could feel that he was about to break through at any moment. He just needed to accomplish it in one concerted effort…
However… He never expected that at the moment he was making his breakthrough…
“Cha.”
A soft reverberation of a sword’s slash echoed. Jian Qingyang, who was in an ethereal state, nearly did not hear it. When he sensed the sword Qi coming at him, the feeling of pain had already come surging like a tidal wave from his chest!
At the most critical moment of his life, a cold sword had been sent straight through his chest…
He was in no way prepared for this. He wasn’t even completely aware of it…
