In the blink of an eye, a year has passed, the earth withers and flourishes, yet one cannot fathom how many calamities have befallen the world, nor how many heroes have perished beneath the walls occupied by gods and demons.
Serene Gate, Beast Pool.
The bottomless pool lay still and dark, a giant turtle resting motionless in the water. Its massive shell was covered in moss, resembling a giant green stone.
In the center of the Beast Pool, a young girl stood gracefully on the surface of the water, her toes barely touching the transparent, mirror-like surface. A faint glow of True Qi surrounded her. She had her eyes tightly shut, but suddenly her long eyelashes fluttered as if sensing something. She opened her eyes wide in surprise and exclaimed, "Master..."
"Ah?"
She looked around in a daze, tears streaming down her cheeks, crystal droplets splashing into the pool and creating ripples.
"Master..." she murmured softly, suddenly kneeling on the water's surface. Her snowy legs touched the water, yet the splashes seemed to possess a spirit of their own, keeping a distance from her clothes and body.
By the edge of the pool, several seated women opened their eyes and gazed at the girl in the water. One disciple of Serene Gate could not help but say, "Sister Yun Xiaoxi, you... you have fallen into your cultivation nightmare again?"
Yun Xiaoxi turned around, wiped away her warm tears, and looked at everyone with a pained expression. "Although Master has been killed by Zaochi, we must not give up on Serene Gate. We must reside in Beast Pool and cultivate diligently. Remember Master's last words: Serene Gate must not disappear from this world; otherwise, we would be betraying our master Fuxi!"
One woman nodded and approached to support Yun Xiaoxi's shoulder. "We all understand, but... Sister Yun, are you alright? Ever since you broke through to Starry Sky Sixth Level and entered Starry Sky Seventh Level, you've been in a daze..."
Tears streamed down Yun Xiaoxi's face again. "I can hardly believe that our master, who has been with us for twenty years, has truly been killed. I..."
"Sister Yun, sob sob..." The female disciple immediately burst into tears.
The male and female disciples of Serene Gate surrounding Beast Pool all displayed expressions of deep sorrow, especially the female disciples, who cried inconsolably.
After a while, Yun Xiaoxi slowly stood up, walking on the water waves towards the crowd. Her gaze was calm as she said lightly, "Fellow brothers and sisters, there is no need for me to elaborate. You all know that the despicable deity Zaochi has occupied Serene Gate. He possesses Celestial Ascendance Mid-Level strength, and even Elder Qingxuan and our master together could not defeat him. Elder Qingxuan returned to Hidden Dragon Hall severely injured, and our master was killed by Zaochi while trying to protect us, the disciples of Serene Gate. Zaochi is brutal and has killed countless nearby citizens over the past year, causing the world to avoid us at Serene Mountain. Whether for the sake of the common people or to avenge our master, we must strive to cultivate diligently in hopes of slaying Zaochi!"
A male disciple stood up and said, "Sister Xiaoxi, your cultivation level is the highest among us, yet you have not been able to break through to Stellar Realm and ascend as a deity. How can we?"
Yun Xiaoxi's body trembled slightly, a hint of helplessness in her eyes as she replied, "I will do my best..."
Continuing her cultivation, Yun Xiaoxi stood on the water's surface in meditation, entering the supreme realm of Serene Gate's unique skill Ice Crystal Technique. Waves of azure ripples appeared beneath her feet as if guarding her.
The highest realm of Ice Crystal Technique is Ice Mystic Dream. After entering meditation, Yun Xiaoxi felt as if she were in a dream; countless memories flew through her mind, each scene flashing before her eyes. The loving face of Fox Moon especially pained her heart. As the images shifted, she saw scenes from Azure Cloud Mountain Range; that cheerful young man was now nowhere to be found. Many rumors circulated that Ye Yang had been killed in his battle against the fierce wind, his soul scattered. Moreover, Yun Xiaoxi had not sensed Ye Yang's presence for an entire year; it was as if he had truly perished like the legends said.
"Zi Yu... Zi Yu..."
Yun Xiaoxi seemed to murmur in her sleep, her thoughts in disarray. Suddenly waking up with a start, she spat out a mouthful of blood that splashed into the pool. Her long hair spread out as she showed a hint of pain and slowly lay back into the water.
"Sister Xiaoxi! Sister Xiaoxi!"
A group of Serene Gate disciples rushed forward but found that Yun Xiaoxi had already fainted.
Several female disciples were in tears, holding Yun Xiaoxi's hand and crying out, "In the end, you are still troubled by love. Sister, why do you put yourself through this?"
"Hurry, help Sister Xiaoxi heal her wounds..."
In the dim Beast Pool, sorrow and worry filled the air.
One year later in Boundless Purgatory, flames soared high, and the entire Boundless Purgatory was boiling violently.
Around Mountain Ridge, even many stone mines had been melted down, with blood-red magma surging as if it were extremely angry. Azure Rock rose high, and it seemed as though the entire Boundless Purgatory was about to explode.
"Hey, hey, hey..."
Several Commanders sighed repeatedly as they looked at Ye Yang, who still stood amidst the flames in the distance. They said, "When will this end? It's already been a year. Even that kid named Ding Xiang over there has refined many inner dan and stepped into Stellar Realm. When will our master be able to refine that Haotian Sword?"
Charming Yama frowned slightly and said, "Actually, I sensed it four months ago. The aura of our master has already surpassed Starry Sky Seventh Level; his strength is actually already among Divine-level Experts. However, he still refuses to give up on refining that sword. As a result, while his power has reached Divine-level Expert, his realm remains stuck at Stellar Realm. What is going on here?"
Celestial Wave Commander smiled faintly and said, "I seem to... I seem to understand something..."
"What do you understand?" Charming Yama and the group of Commanders hurriedly asked.
Celestial Wave Commander thought for a moment and said, "Ordinary cultivators only comprehend a single law; the more they understand the law, the stronger their power becomes. However, our master has been cultivating in a deep sleep for an entire year. His aura has grown increasingly vast, yet he still hasn't awakened. I think our master is not cultivating laws but rather a state of mind. He is not refining his spirit but refining his heart. Once his state of mind improves, his true strength will likely be even more terrifying than those who have ascended to godhood!"
"Ah..."
Charming Yama gasped in surprise and turned to look at Ye Yang, who was asleep in the Refining Technique realm above. Her beautiful eyes were filled with wonder: "Could it be... as Tianlan said, our master has not yet matured in heart cultivation, so he is unwilling to awaken?"
Tianlan nodded: "That's what I think. The moment our master opens his eyes, he will immediately ascend to godhood!"
Charming Yama trembled slightly and said, "Oh, that sounds... really good..."
...
At that moment, suddenly, the ground shook. Not far away, with a "whoosh," a black longsword broke through the sea and hovered majestically between heaven and earth; it was the Haotian Sword.
"It’s time to Awaken, Haotian Sword!"
Ye Yang suddenly opened his eyes wide, filled with a captivating golden light, and shouted, "Gods of the Boundless Purgatory, tremble!"
"Clang!"
The Haotian Sword finally erupted from its sheath. The sword body rapidly began to melt. After a year of forging, Ye Yang finally started to dissolve the Haotian Sword!
He raised his hand and drew the Azure Soul Sword from behind. Ye Yang hurled it forward; the Azure Soul Sword, as if it had a spirit of its own, collided violently with the Haotian Sword. A massive explosion of energy erupted continuously, as if the entire Boundless Purgatory was about to be destroyed.
After a while, as the dust and fiery rocks settled, the Haotian Sword and the Azure Soul Sword merged into one, transforming into a form of Divine Iron, formless and floating in mid-air.
With a wave of his hand, Ye Yang unleashed a flame of Celestial Crystal that pierced through the air; it was a unique ability of a Divine-level Expert, condensing Concentration crystals!
...
"My lord... he has already become a god..." Charming Yama gasped in astonishment.
Celestial Wave Commander and others surrendered one after another. If the young man had once made the Ghost Soldiers submit through his strength, now, facing a true deity, how could these Ghost Soldiers not bow down?
……
The surface of the Lava Sea became calm, no longer turbulent. Flames, almost invisible to the naked eye, spun rapidly and flew towards the piece of Divine Iron in the sky. Undoubtedly, Ye Yang was using divine power to continue forging this new divine sword. The heat from the entire Boundless Purgatory and Lava Sea was being harnessed for this purpose, meaning that Ye Yang had nearly refined the entirety of Boundless Purgatory, all for the emergence of this Divine Weapon!
Under Ye Yang's will, the Divine Iron slowly began to condense and reshape, increasingly resembling a sword. Elemental spirits around it moved violently, and nameless fiery explosions flickered in various places in the air.
"Is the Divine Weapon about to be completed?" Charming Yama asked nervously, her beautiful eyes wide open.
Celestial Wave Commander furrowed his brow: "It seems something is still missing... Although the Divine Iron is extremely rare, it lacks some spirit... A true Divine Weapon is not like this!"
……
Before Tianlan could finish speaking, suddenly, the Divine Iron exploded. A halo of flames appeared and gradually condensed into a human figure.
Ye Yang was filled with sorrow as he fell to the ground, kneeling on both knees, tears streaming down his face: "Grandpa Qin..."
