Chapter 87: Elders and Sect Master All Submit

Lin Wu Ren was brimming with confidence at this moment; seeing him wave his hand, the heavenly tribulation shattered like broken glass with a boom. Countless energies containing the power of rules surged into his body like a flood, continually repairing his flesh.

At the same time, his aura steadily grew stronger, his qi and blood like a surging, mighty tide spreading wildly in all directions. His entire essence, energy, and spirit were pushed to peak state, as if an invincible momentum shot straight up, piercing the clouds.

He was only one crucial step away from officially stepping into the Venerable Realm.

On Leize Guangchang, Yang Hao and the others witnessed this scene, involuntarily trembling all over, their eyes blazing as they all turned to Qin Yu.

They clearly felt the ever-growing aura emanating from Lin Wu Ren, realizing that the situation was now settled.

The second Venerable of the Profound Yang Sect is about to be born!

Over the past five thousand years, the Profound Yang Sect has been shrouded in a dead silence. Every peerless genius, upon reaching perfection in the Heavenly Origin Realm, encounters an insurmountable bottleneck, forever unable to cross the chasm of this realm.

Consequently, outside rumors spread that the Profound Yang Sect had offended some unknown heavenly taboo, cursed by mysterious and forbidden entities, declaring that the sect would never again produce a Venerable.

However, now this nightmare-like curse has finally been broken.

"Once Senior Brother Lin breaks through, the pressure on Grandmaster will greatly lessen. Moreover, with Junior Uncle around, our Profound Yang Sect's Venerables might even appear in batches!" Yang Hao stood to the side, a faint appeasing smile on his face, gazing at Qin Yu.

You should know, the legendary dreadful Forbidden Tribulation Spirit, in front of Junior Uncle, actually became as docile as a tamed monster pet. Just a single word from Junior Uncle gave Lin Wu Ren the opportunity to break through to the Venerable Realm.

Moreover, this tribulation crossing process appeared surprisingly easy.

Yang Hao and the others naturally had their own thoughts. Yang Hao himself was a person of outstanding talent, now at the half-step Venerable stage, yet he dared not lightly break through. The reason was simple: his tribulation numbers differed from ordinary people, its power extraordinarily great—each bolt of thunder almost reached the power of a first-layer Venerable, far exceeding the Heavenly Origin Realm's limit.

But now, the situation has undergone a complete transformation.

That heavenly tribulation, once feared, now seemed like one of our own!

Qi Tai, Elder Wu, Li Hao Ran, and others also turned their gazes toward Qin Yu, their eyes full of eagerness.

"Junior Uncle, I plan to break through tomorrow; what do you think?" Elder Wu cleared his throat and quickly spoke.

This cry of "Junior Uncle" made him feel utterly convinced and sincerely obedient. Previously he harbored some resentment toward Grandmaster and Sect Master, but at this moment those grudges had vanished without a trace.

He clearly understood that with Qin Yu's ability, who would dare to take him as a disciple? He was practically a figure of ancestral stature, deserving to be worshipped like an ancestor.

His hope of breaking through to the Venerable Realm now rested entirely on Qin Yu.

Li Hao Ran and Qi Tai, although they said nothing, conveyed the same meaning through their eyes and expressions.

Even, Li Hao Ran had already begun pondering what gift would be suitable for Qin Yu, after all he was only one step away from breaking through his bottleneck.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Qin Yu couldn't help but feel both amused and exasperated, a hint of bitterness appearing on his face.

He spoke: "Elders, Sect Master... this matter is truly not something I can control at will."

"Back when I was in the Leize Secret Realm, I had already asked the Niepan Tribulation Spirit for help once."

"Now I have had it help Elder Lin this time."

"When I myself underwent tribulation yesterday, it was also thanks to its assistance; otherwise, I probably would not have survived the heavenly tribulation."

"In just two days, it has already helped three times."

"Even if I wanted it to pay attention to your Venerable tribulations, Elders, I would likely need to offer something in return."

Qin Yu clearly understood that he now owed the Niepan Tribulation Spirit a huge favor, and he did not know how he could ever repay it in the future.

In his view, if one only keeps taking, it will inevitably annoy others; moreover, he currently has nothing to offer the Niepan Tribulation Spirit in return.

Therefore, Qin Yu's heart was filled with guilt.

Yangtian Ancestor glanced at everyone and said calmly, "Qin Yu has indeed incurred a debt of gratitude."

"You should know, interfering with a Venerable's tribulation is no easy matter; it involves great karma."

"Even if he himself were to intervene, he would inevitably acquire some bad karma."

"After all, this is openly defying heaven and earth, forcibly interfering with the operation of the heavenly tribulation."

"Nowadays, these little brats actually expect a Foundation Establishment cultivator to help them survive their tribulation?"

Yang Hao and the others immediately showed bitter expressions; the key point being, if the Niepan Tribulation Spirit does not intervene, they have absolutely no way to pass the Venerable tribulation, their only fate being death.

Yangtian Ancestor naturally understood this thorny problem; he couldn't help but sigh and say, "This matter is also inseparable from the sect."

"With your talents, you should have broken through to the Venerable Realm long ago."

"But... after our master led the Profound Yang Sect to sweep the entire Canglan Realm, he harbored expansionist ambitions and probed the neighboring Tianyue Realm, never expecting that behind the Tianyue Realm lay the supreme doctrine, the Profound Dark Holy Land."

"There were once rumors that our Profound Yang Sect could rival the Holy Land because we had clashed with it several times in secret. Although we ultimately did not touch the Tianyue Realm, this drew the attention of the Profound Dark Holy Land."

"They have always regarded the Profound Yang Sect as a potential hidden threat that could erupt at any moment."

"In the end, they summoned the Witch Clan to lay a curse upon the Profound Yang Sect."

"From then on, all disciples of the Profound Yang Sect would face obstacles in their cultivation and be targeted by heaven and earth."

"These years I have not told you all of this, which was truly unavoidable."

"However, now that we have a solution, speaking of it is no problem. Little Yu... after Lin Wu Ren completes his breakthrough, you summon the Niepan Tribulation Spirit down; I, the old man, wish to speak with it."

"This favor will naturally not leave you indebted forever; I, the old man, will take responsibility for resolving it."

In Yangtian Ancestor's eyes, a hint of dimness showed.

He had personally experienced the glorious years of the Profound Yang Sect; even in the face of the Holy Land's obstruction, the sect showed no fear, even secretly launching fierce battles, the slaughter between Venerables staining the heavens with blood.

But who would have thought that in merely ten thousand years, the Profound Yang Sect would decline to this point, on the verge of collapse in his own hands.

Therefore, this is the key to whether the Profound Yang Sect can regain vitality.

Even Yangtian Ancestor himself never imagined that he would ultimately have to rely on this very disciple he had just taken in.

Yang Hao and the others heard this, slightly stunned, their mouths unconsciously opening wide. So that's why... no wonder the peerless contemporaries they once suppressed all managed to break through to the Venerable Realm, while they themselves remained stuck at the peak of the Heavenly Origin Realm, unable to make any progress.

The Profound Yang Sect, it turns out, was cursed by the Witch Clan.

However, fortunately, there is now a turning point.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu also felt greatly surprised, but eventually nodded and replied, "Master, I will summon the Niepan Tribulation Spirit shortly to speak with you. Besides... since I already owe one favor, owing a few more is no problem."

"Enabling the elders and sect master to break through to the Venerable Realm would be greatly beneficial to the sect."

Qin Yu already had a plan in mind; he intended to mediate, but the sect would certainly have to pay some price, otherwise the Niepan Tribulation Spirit would unlikely readily agree.

Although the Niepan Tribulation Spirit seems easy to talk to, as an immortal being, its deep involvement in me must entail some motive; it certainly will not help for free.

Qin Yu clearly understands that the Profound Yang Sect is indeed tottering on the brink of collapse, and it is very likely that behind all this the Profound Dark Holy Land is secretly manipulating things.

So, he also grew increasingly vigilant.

In the future, his cultivation path will likely not be smooth.

Therefore, boosting the strength of several senior sect members is imperative.

After all, we all belong to the same lineage; if the sect leader and they increase their strength, my safety will also be more assured.

At the very least, there's no need to worry about being targeted without cause by the older generation's strong ones.

"Thank you, Junior Uncle-master!"

"If there is any need in the future, Junior Uncle-master, just give the order; we will go through fire and water, and will not shun anything!" Yang Hao and the others were overjoyed, even directly clasping their hands in salute.

Their hearts were full of relief.

Fortunately, we firmly stood on Qin Yu's side from the start; even if we opposed the Grand Elder, we did not retreat at all.

At this moment, they truly acknowledged Qin Yu as this Junior Uncle-master.

This Junior Uncle-master is even more formidable than the Grandmaster-uncle…

Several people suppressed their inner excitement, continued to watch Lin Wu Ren who was in the midst of breaking through, hoping to gain some precious insights from this heavenly tribulation.
