Chapter 1609

The breakthrough to Emperor Sovereign Realm is indeed a rare sight.

Don't be fooled by the seeming abundance of Emperor Sovereign experts in the myriad worlds; that's counting the entire myriad worlds.

Generally speaking, having one or two Emperor Sovereign experts in a world is already quite good; having none is also normal.

And given how many worlds there are in the myriad worlds, at first glance it seems there are not few Emperor Sovereign experts.

But in reality, compared to the total population of the myriad worlds, the number of Emperor Sovereign experts is extremely scarce.

The gazes of Luo Jiuyou and another are both turned toward Divine Sword Peak.

"The potential of this Dao Yi Holy Land is truly immense."

"This fully accomplished Emperor Sovereign of the Nether Race muttered, 'If we let Dao Yi Holy Land develop like this, the Haotu World might actually surpass others later.'"

Successfully joining the ranks of top worlds like the Nine Nether Realm and the Divine Realm.

After all, the potential of Dao Yi Holy Land is evident, and the younger generation still has someone who can match Luo Jiuyou and others as a top prodigy, Ye Zhangqing.

The only thing possibly lacking now is the existence of the Ancestor Realm.

But this isn't something you can break through just because you want to; it's too difficult.

Not only Luo Jiuyou and another, but at this moment everyone inside Dao Yi Holy Land turned their gazes toward where Divine Sword Peak is.

Inside the canteen, Ye Zhangqing immediately rushed to Divine Sword Peak.

When he arrived, Shi Song, Qin Shan Hai, Tian Nong, and the other peak masters and elders also arrived one after another.

Everyone stood at the horizon not far from Hong Zun's Dong Fu, looking at the surging aura rising to the heavens, their words filled with undisguised joy.

"I didn't expect it to be this old brat Hong Zun who broke through first."

"Yeah, the senior brother and second senior brother haven't made a move, but this old drunkard succeeded instead."

"The old drunkard's talent isn't weak; you forgot how Shīzūn evaluated him back then?"

"That's also true."

"Alright, first let him survive the heavenly tribulation; the treasury should be ready, and when the old drunkard needs something, we must send it immediately."

"Don't worry."

Hong Zun's breakthrough to Emperor Sovereign Realm is naturally a good thing for Dao Yi Holy Land.

After all, with one more Emperor Sovereign expert, the strength of Dao Yi Holy Land naturally increases a bit.

But now is not the time to relax; Hong Zun still has to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation of Emperor Sovereign Realm.

Although given Hong Zun's strength there should be no problem, the heavenly tribulation is not something to be taken lightly.

What needs to be prepared must be prepared; the items in the treasury that Hong Zun needs should be available at any time.

Just as they were speaking, Hong Zun's figure appeared before everyone.

He exuded a terrifying aura; having just broken through to Emperor Sovereign Realm, he still couldn't perfectly control his own aura.

But after he passes the heavenly tribulation, it should improve.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother."

Seeing Hong Zun leave seclusion, Shi Song and the others laughed and spoke; hearing this, Hong Zun took a sip of wine and also laughed loudly.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone asked Hong Zun what he needed to prepare for the heavenly tribulation.

In response, Hong Zun said confidently.

"Just have Ye Xiaozi prepare a table of food for me."

"That's naturally no problem."

In response, Ye Zhangqing agreed without hesitation; celebrating Hong Zun's breakthrough to Emperor Sovereign Realm is also appropriate.

Seeing this, Hong Zun laughed loudly and threw out a sentence to everyone.

"That's enough, seniors, Junior Brother will go undergo the heavenly tribulation first."

Having said that, he flashed away from the spot, flying toward the original Monster Clan Territory, intending to find a deserted place to undergo the Emperor Sovereign Realm's heavenly tribulation.

Hong Zun appeared full of confidence regarding this Emperor Sovereign Realm heavenly tribulation; seeing this, everyone's mood relaxed a bit.

Since Hong Zun is like this, it seems he should have confidence.

In the following days, everyone busied themselves with their own affairs while waiting for Hong Zun to return from the heavenly tribulation.

Qi Xiong, Wu Shou, and Hong Zun entered seclusion; now Hong Zun has succeeded, which is a good omen, and next we'll see how Qi Xiong and Wu Shou fare.

However, given their situations, it should also be no problem.

Inside the canteen, Ye Zhangqing had just finished lunch, and was drinking tea and chatting casually with Bai Hua Xianzi and the four other girls.

Suddenly, Ye Zhangqing realized that Hong Zun's heavenly tribulation seems to have already been over ten days.

"How many days has the Peak Master's heavenly tribulation been?"

"Almost half a month."

Bai Hua Xianzi beside him replied, and as she spoke her brows unconsciously furrowed slightly.

If not mentioned, one wouldn't know, but upon bringing it up we discover that Hong Zun has been away from his heavenly tribulation for almost half a month with no news at all, which is strange.

Ye Zhangqing also secretly pondered, half a month's time, even an Emperor Sovereign Realm heavenly tribulation shouldn't take that long.

Could something have gone wrong?

But that's not right either; if something really had happened, Hong Zun's life token should have shattered long ago.

The sect would certainly find out immediately; after all, the life tokens of all the peak masters and elders are guarded by dedicated personnel every twelve Shíchén.

Once there is a change, it can be known immediately.

Since the life token hasn't changed, it shows Hong Zun hasn't encountered any danger now.

But half a month has passed; could this heavenly tribulation still not be over?

Ye Zhangqing felt somewhat worried; on the other hand, on a blackened plain in the original Monster Clan Territory that had been scorched by the heavenly tribulation, Hong Zun sat speechless on a black stone, chin resting on one hand, eyes full of doubt as he gazed at the thunderclouds in the sky.

He couldn't help but curse.

"You damn well chop it!"

Hong Zun naturally encountered no mishap, or more accurately, he has been sitting here in meditation for half a month.

After breaking through to the Emperor Sovereign Realm, Hong Zun immediately came here to prepare for the Heavenly Tribulation.

Originally, everything was fine at the start, and Hong Zun had already made preparations to face the Heavenly Tribulation.

But damn it, the thunderclouds kept gathering above his head, looking quite proper.

The pressure of that tribulation was indeed enough to make one's heart tremble.

But the problem is, though it looks intimidating, no Heavenly Thunder has fallen for a long time, and Hong Zun kept waiting for the Heavenly Thunder, waiting like this for half a month.

Half a month has passed, and not a single bolt of Heavenly Thunder has fallen from those clouds; even the daylilies he waited for have gone cold.

At this moment, looking at the terrifying thunderclouds above his head, Hong Zun finally confirmed a fact.

That his own tribulation has a problem.

If you're coming, come; if not, go away—it's been hanging over my head, neither falling nor leaving—what the hell is it supposed to do?

Hong Zun wore a look of helplessness, having lost his patience; after waiting another day with no alternative, he could only first return to Dao Yi Shengdi.

And as he returned, the Emperor Sovereign Tribulation above his head naturally followed him all the way.

Early in the morning, just after finishing breakfast, everyone in Dao Yi Shengdi was about to start a day of cultivation when suddenly a thick band of thunderclouds instantly enveloped the entire Dao Yi Shengdi.

Huh???

In an instant, the appearing thunderclouds and that extremely terrifying heavenly dao pressure caused many disciples of Dao Yi Shengdi to be shaken in mind and spirit; some low-cultivation disciples even trembled in their legs and collapsed sitting on the ground.
