Chapter 394 Junior Sister, I Am Your Peak Master

Hearing that familiar voice, a graceful, fairy-like figure in a long white dress shuddered. She had an exquisite figure, bright eyes, pearly teeth, and a face of absolute beauty. She turned around to see a young man standing quietly behind her. He wore a white Profound Robe and had a handsome face with deep eyes. He radiated a tyrannical Momentum, a sign of the terrifying power he held within.

"S-Senior Brother." Shanggong Yinling’s beautiful eyes lit up, her voice tinged with delight.

Then, as if realizing her mistake, she said softly:

"Oh, no... Lord Peak Master."

Seeing this, Gu Yun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

A hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes as he said softly, "Junior Sister, you can just call me Senior Brother."

But the graceful beauty in the white dress, Shanggong Yinling, seemed to have a stubborn streak. She pouted and replied, "I like calling you Lord Peak Master."

"Then do as you wish, Junior Sister," Gu Yun said, his voice tinged with resignation.

Gu Yun sensed that her cultivation had already reached the True Martial Realm Seventh Layer. However, he knew that if she entered Central Earth to fight the Outer Celestial Demons with that level of cultivation, she might not be able to ensure her own safety. Her life could be in danger. At this thought, his heart sank, and he said:

"Junior Sister, when you go to Central Earth, you must be careful. Above all else, prioritize your life."

A glimmer of joy flashed in Shanggong Yinling’s beautiful eyes. She clasped her hands behind her back and said with a playful smile, "Is Lord Peak Master concerned for me?"

Hearing this, the corners of Gu Yun’s mouth turned up into a slight smile, and he said:

"Junior Sister, I am your Peak Master."

...

The next day, the sky was tinged with the white of dawn. White clouds drifted like colts, and sunlight poured down across the land.

Within the Profound Celestial Sect, upon a vast, crystalline plaza inlaid with hard jade that stretched for hundreds of miles, thousands of Cultivators stood in solemn formation. They radiated a battle intent that soared to the heavens, forming a line like a great dragon that seemed capable of shattering the firmament.

At their head stood twenty Tongxuan Realm Cultivators, each wreathed in a terrifying Dao Rhythm and exuding a formidable aura. Above them all, a figure floated in the air, dressed in a magnificent purple robe. His face was stern and majestic, and his body contained an aura of absolute power.

Wu Tianhua gazed at the crowd, their morale soaring to the heavens, and a flicker of satisfaction crossed his eyes. He then spoke in a deep voice, "Everyone, the Outer Celestial Demons have invaded our Celestial Essence Realm, seizing our homes and obstructing our path to the Dao! Such villainy is unprecedented! As we set forth, we are bound to clash with the Outer Celestial Demons. I expect you all to unleash your greatest strength and protect the Celestial Essence!"

Hearing this, the thousands of Cultivators below shouted in unison, their eyes glinting with battle intent, "Those who invade our Celestial Essence will be slain!!" The cry was immense, like a great dragon roaring into the clouds, shaking the heavens and the earth.

"Depart!"

Seeing this, Wu Tianhua nodded. With a great wave of his hand, a majestic power infused with Dao Rhythm pulled at the Celestial Secret. The six Space Silver Towers suspended in the air around the crowd began to radiate a dazzling, brilliant light.

The chains connecting the six Space Silver Towers, which were covered in gnarled and Profound Mysterious Inscriptions, suddenly linked together. A vast surge of Space Power erupted. In the next instant, everyone on the plaza vanished. The world spun in a dizzying whirl—first, a vast expanse of pitch darkness, then a glimmer of light that grew until everything was brilliantly illuminated.

「Central Earth, Divine Continent, Capital City」

Upon a plaza that was clear as crystal, inlaid with hard jade, and stretched for thousands of miles, six identical Space Silver Towers stood tall enough to pierce the clouds. The chains connecting them glowed with a dazzling light, and then the thousands of Cultivators from the Profound Celestial Sect suddenly materialized on the plaza.

"So this is Central Earth?" a Profound Celestial Sect Cultivator murmured, his eyes filled with shock. He stared at the endless series of pavilions floating in mid-air, so tall they reached the Nine Heavens. They were wreathed in clouds and mist, and from time to time, other Cultivators would flash past in streaks of light.

"Truly worthy of being called the most prosperous place in the Celestial Essence Realm."

"This dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi... it’s practically on par with a sacred cultivation ground," a Profound Celestial Sect Cultivator exclaimed with emotion. He took a deep breath, feeling how much richer the Spiritual Qi was compared to the Eastern Profound Domain. He felt as if his very Realm was on the verge of a breakthrough.

Central Earth truly was the number one Domain in the Celestial Essence Realm. Its Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi alone surpassed most regions in the Eastern Profound Domain.

At that moment, Gu Yun stood at the head of the disciples from the Celestial Thunder Dao Peak. A bright glint flashed in his eyes as he took in the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and he sighed inwardly.

He then fixed his gaze on two terrifying figures standing before a palace that floated in mid-air, resembling a True Dragon reigning over the Nine Heavens. One of them wore a pale blue robe. His face was ancient, with a long white beard and hair, and his deep eyes seemed to have witnessed the passage of ages. A soft, hazy glow enveloped him, and his body seemed to contain world-shaking power. This was Lin Guangyuan, the Supreme Elder of the Spirit Dao Sect.

The other man wore an ornate robe. His face was resolute, his gaze firm, and he projected a momentum that shot to the heavens, powerful enough to make one’s heart grow cold with fear. This was none other than Jiang Daoming, the Sect Leader of the Divine Martial Sect.

Both were veterans of the Dao Alliance, terrifying titans of the Harmonization Realm level.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Qin, welcome. Thank you for coming to lend Central Earth a hand," Jiang Daoming said with a cupped-fist salute, his gaze on Qin Mulong at the head of the group.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Jiang, you are too kind. Protecting the Celestial Essence is our undeniable duty. With foreign enemies invading, how could we possibly stand idly by!" Qin Mulong replied in a deep voice.

At that moment, Lin Guangyuan, who stood beside Jiang Daoming, sensed the aura within Qin Mulong. It was a bottomless aura that, on the surface, seemed as ordinary as dust, yet felt as if it were one with the Dao itself. His pupils shrank, and he exclaimed in his mind, ’This aura... It’s so powerful!’

This state of being on the verge of the Dao was a clear sign that the man had already traveled far along the path of the Harmonization Realm. Subtly, he even gave off a feeling comparable to that of the Dao Alliance’s own Alliance Leader.
