Chapter 162: What kind of Dao lineage does he actually have behind him?

Qin Yu narrowed his eyes, a gleam flashing—this BUFF boost is... too exaggerated.

I am also a member of the Profound Yang Sect; shouldn't I also be able to receive the buff?

He plans to enter seclusion for a while; this time he discovered his strength is too feeble.

Among the peers of Canglan Yu, he is merely barely passable.

Even if I can cross several minor realms and overcome heavenly pride, but... the realm is a hard injury, needing to be raised quickly.

Now, the Profound Yang Sect has already suppressed the entire Canglan Yu; the forces and geniuses we will face next will be the whole East Divine Province.

The Profound Yang Sect must expand and grow stronger; otherwise, sooner or later it will be shattered by the Profound Abyss Sacred Land.

Both sides have reached a point of life-and-death struggle.

This time, my master, Grand Ancestor Yang Tian, suppressed and killed a supreme elder of the Profound Abyss Sacred Land; this matter... is only the beginning.

Even with the aid of the Sword Sect and the Barbarian Tribe, but... that is ultimately external force; they cannot possibly stay guarding the Profound Yang Sect forever.

Strengthening oneself is the true way.

While Qin Yu was contemplating, the Niepan Jie Ling beside him secretly unleashed a great divine ability, mobilizing the power of rules to alter the structure of the thunderclouds.

Originally over a hundred thunderclouds directly overlapped, forming an astonishing heavenly thunder punishment.

Now... it has been reduced countless times, hovering above the head of the one undergoing tribulation, above the square.

"Indeed, the Profound Yang Sect is not as simple as we imagined; these years they have surely been accumulating in secret, and now they can even control mid-low level thunder punishments—this is no ordinary major domain power."

"Even those ancient great sects cannot achieve this... this is a grand gamble, but if we win, our Floating Light Grand Sect will also ascend to heaven!"

At this moment, the Second Elder of the Floating Light Sect who had just arrived outside the Profound Yang Sect's mountain gate had a look of surprise flashing in the depths of his eyes.

This matches exactly the Grand Elder's speculation.

These years, the Profound Yang Sect has been accumulating strength, preparing for a counterstrike.

This time, emerging into prominence, even the Profound Abyss Sacred Land suffered a setback; it is absolutely not simple.

Originally, many dissatisfied elders of the Floating Light Sect are now stunned into silence on the spot.

They originally wanted to argue with reason, but... when the Grand Elder and Second Elder returned to the sect, they directly suppressed all dissenting voices, forcing submission to the Profound Yang Sect.

This provoked the dissatisfaction of many elders.

This time arriving at the Profound Yang Sect, even someone wanted to probe its depths.

But now... who the hell dares to probe?

It's practically seeking death!

The tip of the iceberg of the Profound Yang Sect is a realm they cannot reach.

Immediately, their chests were no longer held straight, lacking that righteous confidence.

In their hearts, they were utterly convinced.

Even, they began to approve of the Grand Elder and Second Elder's decision.

Behind Qin Yu, many heavenly prideful ones also now have unsettled expressions, their hearts churning with huge waves.

They had already infinitely exalted Qin Yu's status in their hearts, but they never expected... the methods of the forces behind the young master exceed their imagination.

Qi Hong's expression was solemn, with a hint of joy, as he asked the two Nine Yang Holy Sons beside him: "Li Haoyang, Zhang Taiwu, your Nine Yang Sacred Land holds a weightless status in West Divine Province, with extraordinary strength—can you achieve this level?"

Li Haoyang revealed a bitter smile, responding: "Qi Brother, you're just joking... mastering the means of thunder punishment requires direct connection to the spirit of heaven and earth; if our Nine Yang Sacred Land could do that, we would already be invincible worldwide—how could we merely dominate West Divine Province?"

They have been exposed to a wide range of things, including records from some ancient texts; besides the sacred... no one can achieve this.

Furthermore, only thunder punishments below the venerable level can be controlled.

Originally they thought, the black-robed guardian beside the young master was at the Unity Dao realm, or perhaps the Life-and-Death Tribulation realm.

Protecting the young master during his training in the Profound Yang Sect.

But they never expected it to actually be a saint.

Other geniuses, based on the conversation of the two, inferred many things, their hearts unable to calm.

Moreover, they believed they had made the right choice.

Following such an existence, the future prospects are limitless.

They too can reach realms not belonging to them.

This is what countless people dream of.

Furthermore... this is merely a hint of the young master's displayed strength; Qi Hong and Li Haoyang, among the top heavenly prideful ones, are now retracting their slight sense of superiority.

They believe that, coming from a hegemonic Dao lineage, even if they follow the young master, they should receive different treatment.

But looking at it now... cultivators of their level, in the young master's eyes, are probably no different from ants.

They ought to straighten their position!

"Boom—!"

Just as everyone's thoughts varied, the thunder punishment had already entered its final stage.

Silver light filled the sky, turning into a sea of thunder, as if overturning the heavens, erupting with astonishing might above the outer gate square.

But... at this moment, the cultivators undergoing tribulation inside the square, their faces flushed red, felt an endless surge of power welling up within their bodies.

The thunder punishment continually tempered their fleshly bodies and their five viscera and six bowels.

Some cultivators of the Thunder Dao also gained different insights.

There were inner sect disciples who, thereby comprehending thunder intent, became excited in expression; relying on this method, they could become true inheritors.

After half an hour, the hundred people undergoing tribulation, the curtain fell.

The elders guarding the sect at this moment had their mouths slightly open, fallen into a daze.

Our Profound Yang Sect... turns out we're this fierce?

But, upon instant realization... this phenomenon only appeared after Qin Yu became sect master.

Furthermore, the elders who went to Qingshi Jun secretly gave them a few pointers.

They are all old monsters who have lived for over a thousand years—how could they not understand these ways?

Moreover, they can clearly sense that they seem to have gained some insight into the rules of heaven and earth, their bottleneck seems about to be broken, and facing the next realm they feel no confusion—the path is clear.

Staying in the sect feels like merging with heaven and earth—quite different.

When gazing at Qin Yu's figure, a faint fervor flickers.

He also quickly sent a voice transmission to his own disciples and to the many cultivators who had previously undergone tribulation, vaguely uttering a few words.

Their reaching this level is entirely thanks to the new sect master.

Originally, many elders and core disciples were dissatisfied with Qin Yu becoming sect master, unsure of what merits he possessed.

But now... it's different.

Qin Yu's assumption of office can make everyone's cultivation path clear.

What tremendous power this is!

In an instant, many elders and core disciples dropped to one knee, eyes burning with fervor, shouting aloud.

"Welcome the sect master, victorious return to the sect!"

Countless menial disciples, seeing this, quickly followed suit, not daring to be negligent.

At this moment, among a small circle of menial disciples, their faces were full of regret—they should have fawned over Qin Yu earlier.

Moreover, some female disciples who had known him before are filled with regret; if they had been more proactive and not looked down on Qin Yu, they could have become dao partners earlier.

Now they are already the sect master's wife!

One below, ten thousand above.

But in the world, there is no medicine for regret.
