Chapter 129: The raw rice has been cooked into rice, the Chaos Saint Body

What? You mean the raw rice has already been cooked into rice?

Hearing Lin Yang's words, Jiang Tamu froze on the spot, his face full of disbelief as he stared at Lin Yang.

Lin Yang, however, paid no attention.

He simply walked calmly up to the purple giant fish and touched its scales.

Such a great fish either had already awakened its spiritual intelligence, or it was an emissary or incarnation of the Sea God; he had no intention of eating it.

With a lift of the big net, he released the purple giant fish.

Water splashed, spraying Jiang Tamu's face.

Only then did he snap out of his daze and continue asking, "Did you really take Zhou Tianming as your disciple?"

"Be honest, are you forcing him?"

"You little brat, you look sly at a glance; you must have given him a love potion, that's why he won't become my disciple."

Lin Yang replied: "He volunteered."

Upon hearing that.

Jiang Tamu stared again: "I don't believe your words."

"I want to see Zhou Tianming and ask him directly."

"If you dare force him, I will uphold justice for Zhou Tianming."

Lin Yang gave a wry smile, then shook off the debris and water droplets from the fishing net.

"Since you want to see, go take a look."

"Afraid you can't?" Jiang Tamu readily agreed, also unafraid to follow Lin Yang, even if it meant being driven out and beaten.

Just as the two were about to rush to Heavenly Dao Peak,

Boom!

Heavenly Dao Peak suddenly emitted a tremendous roar, as if it would shatter the firmament.

In an instant.

In the sky, wind rose and clouds surged; black ink-like clouds rolled forth like raging black seas.

Layer upon layer, in the blink of an eye they completely covered the sky above Heavenly Dao Peak.

The howling gale swept all directions, driving the ink clouds to churn more violently.

Leaves rustled, heavenly portents sprang up everywhere, as if the apocalypse had arrived.

At this moment.

Hearing this sound, Li Yilan and Ye Xiaodie also halted their cultivation and walked out of the room.

They looked toward a corner of the cliff, where Zhou Tianming sat cross-legged, cultivating.

"Good heavens, this phenomenon seems to have been drawn by my junior martial brother."

"My junior martial brother is so powerful."

Ye Xiaodie exclaimed.

Li Yilan nodded: "Master once said my junior martial brother is a reborn great emperor; his cultivation can summon such a scene, which makes perfect sense."

Having said that.

Both fell silent.

Each harbored a thought in her heart.

These days, Master's disciples are growing stronger and stronger.

They must strive diligently in their cultivation.

At this moment, Zhou Tianming sat cross-legged on a cliff corner, fervently cultivating the Chaos Heaven Record, attempting to merge it with the Chaos Heaven Pearl to obtain the Chaos Saint Body.

The fusion of the Chaos Heaven Record and the Chaos Heaven Pearl was a natural progression; after all, in his previous life he had cultivated both, so now it was merely picking up where he left off, and they merged successfully in no time.

These heavenly portents indicated that the fusion had succeeded; now they merely awaited the awakening of the Chaos Saint Body.

The Chaos Saint Body ranks among the top ten heavenly dao saint bodies, innately infused with chaos power, connected to the primal qi present when heaven and earth first split.

Once one obtains the Chaos Saint Body, cultivation speed far surpasses that of ordinary people, and one can command multiple elemental forces; a mere gesture can stir heavenly portents.

Regarding this.

Zhou Tianming's eyes were extraordinarily resolute; he was determined to obtain it.

In the blink of an eye.

Within the clouds, lightning flashed and thunder roared; silver serpents danced wildly.

Thick bolts of lightning, like blades, tore through the firmament, striking toward the cliff where Zhou Tianming stood.

Yet upon touching the chaos light surrounding him, they vanished like a mud ox entering the sea, dissipating into nothing.

Continuously, as lightning struck again and again at the chaos light around him, layers of faint chaos radiance spread outward from his body.

This radiance began as weak as a firefly, but over time it grew increasingly brilliant.

Afterward, it gradually enveloped his entire person.

Wherever the light reached, space seemed to faintly twist and tremble, as if unable to withstand such mighty power.

Zhou Tianming clenched his eyes shut, brows furrowed, his face showing pain.

Even as veins bulged on his forehead and large beads of sweat poured down his cheeks.

Yet he persisted, his breath continually rising; a mighty, vigorous power surged from his inner core, instantly sweeping over the entire cliff.

This power contained the aura of chaos, seeming able to devour all and nurture myriad things, dazzling beyond compare.

As time passed, the chaos light on Zhou Tianming's body grew stronger; within the radiance faintly appeared obscure, mysterious runes.

These runes circled his body, constantly rotating, as if altering his internal functions.

After a long time, Zhou Tianming's whole body was wrapped in light; he suddenly opened his eyes, and two beams of chaotic light shot from his eyes, piercing the clouds.

After the light faded, a halo of chaotic light appeared behind Zhou Tianming's head, resembling the scene of a small universe just opening.

Within it, stars seemed to twinkle and yin and yang flickered, continuously pouring mighty power into him.

Making his hair dance wildly, his whole person seemed to have crossed over from endless antiquity, bearing the majesty of remaking heaven and earth.

This also announced the awakening of the Chaos Sacred Body.

…………

But at this moment.

In a secret room of the Azure Cloud Sect, Grand Elder Mao Ping was in seclusion; upon sensing a powerful force rising from the Azure Cloud Sect, his expression suddenly changed.

Then,

He hurried out of the secret room and looked toward Heavenly Dao Peak.

"It's already over."

Immediately,

He angrily summoned the guard, and a guard disciple stood before him.

"Speak!"

"Why is there a strong light and energy shooting up from Heavenly Dao Peak, and why didn't you report it to me?"

Upon hearing that,

That disciple, with a sorrowful face, said: "Grand Elder, you've misunderstood me."

"Last time, when an omen appeared on Heavenly Dao Peak, I reported it to you promptly, yet you scolded me with those depressing words—how could anything happening on Heavenly Dao Peak be bad? It's all good news."

"That's why this time I didn't report to you; now how can you blame me?"

This disciple, who had initially reported the Azure Cloud Sect's omen and been rebuked by the Grand Elder, this time, seeing Zhou Tianming awaken the Chaos Sacred Body and another omen arise on Heavenly Dao Peak, had learned his lesson and thus did not report.

But he never expected to still be blamed.

"Last time was last time, this time is this time."

"Sigh!"

"I can't make it clear to you."

The Grand Elder no longer wasted words, then turned into a stream of light and flew toward Heavenly Dao Peak.

Last time, as soon as the incident occurred, he sensed it happening on Heavenly Dao Peak.

This time, only after everything had ended did he learn that another omen had arisen on Heavenly Dao Peak; naturally, his curiosity unsatisfied, he became rather peevish.

As the Grand Elder departed, the elders all sensed something as well.

"Another astonishing omen has arisen on Heavenly Dao Peak—have they taken on a new disciple?"

"Quickly go and see."

Some were in the midst of tasting tea and discussing the Dao when their teacups fell with a clang, shattering to pieces, yet they darted away.

Others were teaching disciples; at this moment they could not attend to it, hastily dropping what they held and flying out.

Only a crowd remained, their faces full of shock and bewilderment, as if they had been abandoned.

…………

On Heavenly Dao Peak, Jiang Taimu stared blankly at the cliffside where Zhou Tianming emanated boundless chaotic majesty, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

"He... he has awakened the Chaos Sacred Body, hasn't he?"
