Chapter 60: Strength Soars, the Wonders of the World

"Hmm?"

Qingdi's heart stirred. Although the conversation between Zhang Xuan and Zhang Sanfeng was brief, he tasted a different flavor in it after a moment of reflection.

"Reached?"

"Zhang Sanfeng has gone to a different world?"

Qingdi had also paid some attention to Zhang Sanfeng; he originally did not care much about a Tier 2 cultivator in a Tier 2 world.

After all, a top expert who had reached the ceiling of cultivation in a low-end world had no corresponding strength or potential left.

There was not much point in paying attention to him, but later he did so because Zhang Sanfeng shared the same desire as him: to go to a high-end world.

Now, hearing Zhang Sanfeng's implication, the other party seemed to have already gone to a higher world and gained no small harvest, so he immediately became interested.

I Want to Create the Immortal Realm: 【Fellow Daoist has gone to a new world? @Zhang Sanfeng】

In Yuhang Town, Zhang Sanfeng was in high spirits; even after living for over a hundred years, there was still an irrepressible joy on his face.

The celestial phenomena around him were constantly changing.

With Yuhang Town as the center, the range kept expanding. In this dark night, star after star emerged, each as large as a peck, bright as day for a moment.

Zhang Sanfeng's eyes were half-closed, his Primordial Spirit swelling, his spirit becoming like a thorn, striking fiercely toward the mysterious pass.

Where the center of his brows was, it was as if an eye had opened, cracking a slit.

That was the Ancestral Aperture of the Brow, specifically used for communicating with mysterious external forces; it was the key to the balance between the Inner Heaven and Earth and the Outer Heaven and Earth.

Although it was his first attempt, Zhang Sanfeng was not flustered in his breakthrough; it sounded quite steady.

There was no difficulty, not the slightest obstruction; it was as if the illusory sound of shattering rang out in his mind.

The Ancestral Aperture opened, the mysterious pass was broken through, and his spirit surged out from between his brows like a tide. Having cultivated for a hundred years and now reaching the age of one hundred, Zhang Sanfeng's thick spiritual power was unrivaled at the same realm, and at this moment, it was all poured in.

In the Yitian World, his cultivation had reached the point of opening all Nine Apertures and even opening the Ancestral Aperture of the Brow.

It was not because he could only reach that point, but because the world could only accept him reaching such a realm.

Now that he had arrived in a broader world, it was like a fish entering the sea; he could no longer suppress it, and with a bang, he pushed open that ceiling.

At this very moment, the world in Zhang Sanfeng's perception had an additional boundless sea of Yuan Qi; it was a vast world he had never felt in the Yitian World.

Besides the sea of Yuan Qi, there was also exuberant vitality, gloomy death energy, scorching Dairi Zhenhuo, and brilliant Star Power.

All kinds of "powers and auras" filled the void, appearing chaotic yet orderly, seeming to follow certain laws, operating naturally, yet appearing messy, uncontrollably developing toward greater chaos, until deathly silence!

It was clearly such a variety of powers, so complex, so vast, that one could hardly master or understand them all in a lifetime, yet when Zhang Sanfeng felt them, he was almost moved to tears.

To him, that was not a chaotic world, but a vast heaven and earth.

His spirit transformed into a bridge, one end extending out, "bridging" the heaven and earth, the other end connecting to his Inner Heaven and Earth, guiding it outward. It was pure gold, like the legendary Bridge of the Other Shore, standing tall above the chaos.

Amidst intense emotion, Zhang Sanfeng's spirit gradually returned to calm. A hundred years of experience made him like a reef standing in the tide; let the wind blow and the rain beat, he remained unmoved.

His emotions fluctuated, and waves surged, but he still pushed forward steadily and firmly.

He moved forward bit by bit according to the Outer Scene he and Zhang Xuan had discussed together.

Boom!

Zhang Sanfeng heard a terrifying illusory sound, drawn by his Inner Heaven and Earth, transmitted by the Bridge of Heaven and Earth, the natural great power surged over, washing his physical body, shedding impurities.

His originally silver hair turned black bit by bit under the impact of this Yuan Qi, and the traces left by wrinkles on his face were smoothed out bit by bit, and he became younger.

Reaching the Outer Scene from having all Nine Apertures opened was not just a breakthrough in realm; his soul and life level would also reach a higher plane.

The vast power of heaven and earth poured into his body, then was digested and absorbed bit by bit through the Nine Apertures, distributed within his body, together strengthening the entire physique.

There was a world hidden within his body, and in such a collision, it gradually reached a certain balance with the entire grand external world; this counted as half an Outer Scene.

Reaching this step was already the limit that many people pursued, but Zhang Sanfeng did not stop; after a slight pause, he sprinted toward a higher realm.

Boom!

The sea of Yuan Qi and various powers boiled. Above Yuhang Town and within a radius of several miles, dark clouds suddenly gathered, deep and dim, like an Abyss, appearing as if heaven and earth were inverted compared to the brilliant starry sky below.

Streaks of cyan lightning darted about, intertwining with each other.

A grand Heavenly Tribulation descended from the sky. Zhang Sanfeng did not dodge or close his eyes, his long sword pointing at the sky.

He performed the Taiji Sword Art, the tip of his sword constantly tapping on the lightning, but it was not the kind of sword art that borrowed force to strike back as usually seen, but a style of using strength against strength, ferocity against ferocity.

The sword light and lightning light vibrated together in the void, then vanished simultaneously. Zhang Sanfeng revealed a domineering side completely different from his usual gentle demeanor.

And his body, which had already turned into a middle-aged state in the previous round of mutation, had his mindset also return to middle age, unconstrained and domineering, with unparalleled aura.

The violent lightning scattered in the collision, and quite a bit fell on him, but his body was glowing with a pale gold color throughout, and that fierce lightning falling on him only flickered for a moment before quickly disappearing as smaller arcs.

Eight/Nine Mysterious Technique, the physical defense can be called number one.

The already opened Nine Apertures connected to the outside world, swallowing boundless Yuan Qi. Zhang Sanfeng looked up at the sky with a domineering face.

And several miles outside Yuhang Town, the Wine Sword Immortal, who was steering his wine gourd and preparing to fly over to take an apprentice, looked at the stars filling the sky and listened to the mighty sound of thunder in the distance, his face full of shock and suspicion.

His pair of bleary, drunken eyes lit up at this moment, full of vigilance.

"What is going on?"

The terrifying power of the Heavenly Dao thunder made even him feel a bit startled, but normally this shouldn't be; he had some understanding of Yuhang Town. This godforsaken place was just a remote, rural little spot.

If it weren't for that guy insisting ten years ago that he shouldn't come over, he wouldn't have come at all.

And that confrontation with the power of heaven and earth did not stop. Not long after, a huge Taiji Diagram rushed out from Zhang Sanfeng's body, majestically covering the entire area.

Breaking through from the Nine Apertures to the Outer Scene, the more tribulations there were, the more it indicated that one's own potential and power were stronger.

The second tribulation had arrived.

Inside Yuhang Town, Li Xiaoyao, who had not long ago opened his Bitter Sea, looked up at the sky and saw that terrifying scene, also with a face full of confusion.

After the Bitter Sea was opened, his power could not find an opponent in the entire Yuhang Town; he was simply sweeping through everything. The power gushing out from that grain-sized Bitter Sea made him like a perpetual motion machine, never knowing fatigue.

He had thought he had already become a martial arts expert and could live freely and happily, and was just preparing to bid farewell to his aunt to go out and roam the world, but today's scene made him tremble from the bottom of his heart.

Especially that rumbling lightning, which made him feel that his body was under great pressure.

While his heart was shaken, two men in black at the entrance, dressed in the style of the Miaojiang region, also looked toward the sky above Yuhang Town with faces full of panic and unease; the brilliant stars mixed with the vast thunderous light made anyone with any discernment feel that something was wrong.

"Such power, such a scene—is this the existence of Gods and Demons?"

A group of people were all trembling before the terrifying power of Zhang Sanfeng.

And as Zhang Sanfeng felt the power within his body surge suddenly, his heart was also filled with great astonishment.

The supreme technique passed down by Taishang Laojun began with the Nine Apertures stage, which belonged to the realm of human martial arts; at that time, he even felt that the entry to such a supreme technique was far too easy, not quite in line with the intent of Laojun.

Only now, as he began to break through from the Nine Apertures to the Outer Scene, did he feel the immense change within it; it was as if the power had leaped in one bound from the level of Martial Arts to Immortal Xia.

The transformed power within his body was simply incomparable to what it was before it transformed; it did not even seem like the same technique.

However, he had no time or energy to think about so much right now; there were still quite a few tribulations to come.

A peculiar Gang Wind entered from the Niwan palace at the top of his head, intending to turn his flesh and blood into mud...

Zhang Sanfeng: 【I have indeed traveled to a different Shi Jie; the vast world truly has much to offer.】

Qingdi looked at Zhang Sanfeng's suffix, his gaze involuntarily narrowing.

Zhang Sanfeng · Third Order Great Completion · Tier 5 Shi Jie.

"This..."

"If I remember correctly, Zhang Sanfeng was only Tier 2 before; now that he has broken through, he has reached Third Order Great Completion directly?"

"How long has it even been?"

Qingdi had an incredible feeling; according to what Zhang Xuan said, he had stayed in the world of Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber with Zhang Sanfeng for half a month.

When Zhang Xuan returned, Zhang Sanfeng had only just chosen to go to a higher-level world to give it a try; in other words, Zhang Sanfeng went from Tier 2 to Third Order Great Completion immediately upon arriving in the higher-level world—this speed of breakthrough is simply terrifying, isn't it?

I Want to Create an Immortal Realm: 【Your cultivation?】

In Yuhang Town, facing the fourth tribulation that had already dissipated, Zhang Sanfeng smiled slightly.

Zhang Sanfeng: 【Actually, I am also surprised; I never expected the Eight/Nine Mysterious Technique to be so profound. At first, I thought it was Martial Arts, but I did not expect such a great leap in strength after the transformation from the Nine Apertures to the Outer Scene. I feel wonderful beyond words right now.】

【It is worthy of being the technique passed down by Taishang Laojun in the myths; it is truly profound and unfathomable. I had previously underestimated this technique too much.】

Zhang Sanfeng's face was full of emotion, and when Meng Qi heard these words, his heart could not help but be shaken.

Regarding Zhang Sanfeng's breakthrough, he felt both that it was a matter of course and a little bit envious.

In the real world, his true self in the Shaolin Temple had not even fully opened the Nine Apertures, yet Zhang Sanfeng, who had the teachings of Taishang Laojun, had already reached the Outer Scene and was still advancing steadily; it was indeed something to be envious of.

"However, to be able to become a generation's Martial Dao Grandmaster and a figure who suppresses an era, it is reasonable to have such ability."
