Chapter 106: Powerless to Resist

A hundred years ago, Zhou Yi's breakthrough to the Quasi-Emperor Realm triggered a heavenly tribulation that shook the entire Human Race; they were extremely worried about Zhou Yi's condition.

As the heavenly tribulation dissipated, Zhou Yi's aura returned to normal, and the three thought he would soon emerge from his seclusion.

Unexpectedly, this seclusion lasted a hundred years, only ending today.

"This time I will seclude for three hundred years; will any major events occur in the mortal world during that period?" Zhou Yi asked.

"Report to the Human Ancestor, during these three hundred years the Human Race has enjoyed favorable weather and no major events have occurred," Sui Huang replied.

"Report to the Human Ancestor, over these three hundred years our clan has developed steadily and its strength has increased!" You Chao added.

"Very well! During this seclusion I have inadvertently comprehended a new technique especially suited to our clan, which I can later teach to the whole clan," Zhou Yi said.

"Oh? I wonder what the Human Ancestor has gained from this seclusion?" Cang Wen asked curiously.

Zhou Yi smiled without replying, slowly releasing his aura. In an instant, the power of the Quasi-Emperor's Nine Heavens was unmistakably displayed.

"Is this... the realm of a Great Luo Golden Immortal? Yet three hundred years ago you were only an Earth Immortal," Sui Huang exclaimed in astonishment.

"Only three hundred years to rise from Earth Immortal to Great Luo Golden Immortal? How is that possible?" You Chao widened his eyes, muttering to himself.

"That's not right; both are Great Luo Golden Immortals, yet why is your aura so powerful?" Cang Wen exclaimed.

In just three hundred years, Zhou Yi rose from Earth Immortal to Great Luo Golden Immortal, a feat that left the three, including Sui Huang, speechless with shock.

In their understanding, unless an unexpected miracle occurs, achieving that level through one's own cultivation alone is almost a fairy tale.

Especially, the aura Zhou Yi now radiates is as unfathomably deep as an endless ocean, rendering Sui Huang and the others completely unable to gauge his true strength.

Although the three are Great Luo Golden Immortal-level strongmen, in the contest of aura they are wholly inferior to Zhou Yi.

How could this not astonish Sui Huang and the others?

At this moment they realized just how massive the progress Zhou Yi achieved during his three‑hundred‑year seclusion was.

"I have already told you that during this seclusion I comprehended a method especially suitable for us Humans to cultivate," Zhou Yi said with a smile.

"Is it because of this method that you reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm in just three hundred years and became so powerful?" Sui Huang asked hesitantly.

"Indeed so!" Zhou Yi replied confidently.

Hearing this, the three of Sui Huang exchanged glances, their faces showing surprise.

If, as Zhou Yi says, his current cultivation is entirely due to this method, then for all Humanity it would undoubtedly be an earth‑shaking transformation.

If Zhou Yi can reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm through this method, does that mean others could also achieve the same height?

Even if not three hundred years, perhaps three thousand could work?

If that still fails, thirty thousand years is not beyond trying.

Once Humanity possesses hundreds or thousands of Great Luo Golden Immortals, what can the Wu Clan and the Demon Race amount to?

At this thought, the three of Sui Huang breathed rapidly, their eyes flashing with intense light.

However, they could not help but wonder how Zhou Yi actually created such a technique.

Currently the cultivation method used by Humanity is taught by Tai Qing Sheng Ren; although many practice it, few truly achieve great results.

Since Tai Qing Sheng Ren began preaching to Humanity several hundred years ago, yet only a handful of humans have entered the immortal path.

Before his seclusion Zhou Yi was only at the Earth Immortal stage; how could he, on such a foundation, devise a cultivation method surpassing Tai Qing Sheng Ren's?

"Zhou Yi, does such a technique truly exist? What exactly is it?" You Chao asked with some doubt.

"I call the highest level of this technique the Great Emperor, so I named it 'Human Clan Imperial Method'." Zhou Yi explained.

"Human Clan Imperial Method? Could you demonstrate it for us?" Cang Wen requested.

"How about this: the three of you fight me together; that will let you experience the subtleties of this technique more deeply!" Zhou Yi proposed.

Zhou Yi knew that in the current Vast Wilderness World, a Saint's status is extremely lofty, almost impossible to challenge.

And the cultivation method humans now use originates from Tai Qing Sheng Ren; persuading the three of Sui Huang to switch to another technique is no easy task.

To let the three of Sui Huang deeply comprehend the power of the Zhetian Imperial Method, they must experience it firsthand to grasp the truth.

"That works too!" the three of Sui Huang exchanged glances and said in unison.

Zhou Yi stepped forward, his form already appearing in midair, and introduced to the three of Sui Huang: "This is the first level of my technique, the Wheel Sea Secret Realm."

As his words fell, a golden Sea of Bitterness materialized behind him, followed by the Life Spring and Divine Bridge gradually appearing. A massive aura pressed toward the three of Sui Huang.

Under this overwhelming pressure the three of Sui Huang were extremely shocked, unable to make any move to resist.

"This is the second level, the Dao Palace Secret Realm," Zhou Yi continued, and his five great organ vaults—heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys—began to emit light.

Immediately thereafter, five colossal divine beasts symbolizing the five elemental forces—Phoenix, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, etc. —burst from Zhou Yi's body, displaying endless transformations.

"This is the third level, the Four Extremes Secret Realm," Zhou Yi said, lightly moving his limbs as if he could touch the highest heavens; his feet seemed to stand on the Nine Abyss, and countless principles swirled around his limbs.

"This is the fourth level, the Transforming Dragon Secret Realm," Zhou Yi straightened his body, and with successive dragon roars a massive dragon surged from his spine into the sky, seemingly able to support a whole world.

"Finally the fifth level, the Immortal Platform Secret Realm." Six layers of Immortal Platforms glowed, endless mysteries of the Great Dao's principles unfolded, leaving the three of Sui Huang dazzled.

Zhou Yi explained: "When these five levels are perfected, one can step into the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm; if they can be merged into one, it may be possible to reach the Quasi-Saint realm."

Before the three of Sui Huang could fully digest this information, Zhou Yi spoke again: "Now, let you experience my true strength after cultivating this technique."

Having spoken, he immediately delivered a palm strike.

In an instant, a ferocious force tore the void, and a massive palm descended toward the three of Sui Huang.

Facing this blow, the three of Sui Huang wore stern expressions, quickly gathered all their strength, and let out a roaring counterattack.

However, before their attack could even approach Zhou Yi, it was suppressed by his overwhelming power.

When Zhou Yi's palm truly landed, the three of Sui Huang felt as powerless as ants, unable to resist.

Even though they are also Great Luo Golden Immortals, they were astonished to find themselves unable to block Zhou Yi's palm—what a staggering gap!

In fact, that palm was not powered by a fully realized Saint Body; Zhou Yi issued it merely with his Quasi-Emperor-level cultivation.
