Everyone was watching this battle. As Zhu Yi was trapped within the Ice coffin, there seemed to be no doubt he had lost.
Bai Wei'er was gloating, while the people from the Sword Sect were worried that Zhu Yi would die.
It was then that Zhu Yi used Breaking Through All Things.
The ice around him shattered in an instant.
Zhu Yi burst out, now a bloody mess, and grabbed his sword.
Breaking Through All Things. Instant completion.
Although Zhu Yi couldn't use Breaking Through All Things at its full strength with instant completion, it was unnecessary.
Before Bai Xun could fight back, he was sent flying away, his chest completely broken and nearly severed into two pieces.
Zhu Yi was barely standing on two feet as Bai Xun fell unconscious. He had won this duel.
Zhu Yi's favorite sight was Bai Wei'er's expression. She went from joy to horror in a second. Although he had had his revenge, he still didn't like her. It was good to see her suffer a bit.
Although the Sword Sect members didn't know much about Zhu Yi or have any connections to him aside from the sect, they still cheered when he won. It was an unexpected and astonishing finish. Even the void traversing realm cultivators couldn't see that last move.
Moments later, as if they had been waiting, space shattering realm cultivators descended from space.
Elder Chit clapped as he descended next to Zhu Yi. He helped him walk and brought him back to the Sword Sects camp.
Meanwhile, the space shattering realm cultivators from the Celestial Ice Sect looked at him coldly, though there seemed to be some surprise and admiration.
While they looked over, Elder Chit raised his hand and rubbed his thumbs on his fingers. It was a gesture that meant something about money.
A few of the Space Shattering realm cultivators from the Celestial Ice Sect seemed more downtrodden after seeing it.
Zhu Yi was brought to the Sword Sect camp and healed with many medicines, pills, and healing techniques.
It took him nearly a month to fully recover. Before seeing anyone else, he saw his master.
"You've reached the 2nd and 3rd level of the Breaking Through All Things technique in quick suggestion. You've become surprisingly talented and strong."
Zhu Yi thanked his master sincerely. Once again, he was reminded that he would be nothing without Zhou Fan.
It was unknown how far they would go, but even if he died here, Zhu Yi would still be satisfied.
"If I can attain the Dao in the morning, I can die peacefully in the evening." He mumbled.
As he stood up and left the room, he saw Elder Chit once again. "Well done. I'm proud to say that you're a member of the Sword Sect."
Zhu Yi thanked him and walked outside.
He took a breath of fresh air and looked around. Everything was normal.
Over the next few months, everyone returned. Nearing the end of the year, the Sect Master returned.
He heard about the duel and congratulated Zhu Yi.
"As expected." He said simply.
Zhu Yi didn't see much of the Sect Master of the Celestial Ice Sect.
He didn't know if he just didn't care or if he simply didn't feel the need to get involved.
Zhu Yi returned to the Sword Sect with the Sect Master. Just as he was about to enter seclusion, the Sect Master stopped him.
"Just wait a few days. If I know anything about that guy, it's that he loves to come and complain."
Zhu Yi didn't know what he was talking about, but just practiced the sword while waiting.
He focused on his new understanding of Breaking Through All Things.
Now, it was not only much stronger than before, but could be released without a sword. This was the first time that Zhu Yi realized the truth of the Breaking Through All Things Technique.
It was not only a sword technique, but an ideology. Zhu Yi asked Zhou Fan about it.
"How many levels are there to this technique?"
"There are four levels, but the fourth is harder to reach than the other ones by far." Zhou Fan answered.
"How strong is the fourth level?" Zhu Yi asked.
"If you mastered it right now, you would probably be able to fight Chen Jie at the same realm equally."
Zhu Yi was amazed. The Breaking Through All Things Technique was not a simple or weak technique at all.
Zhu Yi practiced the third level of the technique while waiting. He already knew that there was no hope of comprehending the fourth level in a short amount of time.
After just a few days, Zhu Yi was led somewhere by the Sect Master. He entered a luxurious room he had never seen before and saw three familiar people.
Bai Wei'er, Bai Xun, and the Sect Master of the Celestial Ice Sect, who he had only seen from afar.
Something about the Sect Master seemed different from everyone else Zhu Yi had ever met.
His hair was long and white and his eyes were red.
The Sect Master of the Sword Sect introduced the Sect Master of the Celestial Ice Sect.
"This is the Sect Master of the Celestial Ice Sect. He is not a human, but a race known as celestials. They were the first non-human, humanoid race in the universe."
Zhou Fan had been able to tell at a glance. It had been a long time since he had paid attention to a celestial. There were far fewer of them than humans, and among the righteous faction, there had only been a few at the god realm or above.
The Sect Master of the Celestial Ice Sect spoke. "My name is Bai Wei. Zu Nu, shouldn't you introduce your student to me."
The Sect Master of the Sword Sect, Zu Nu, snorted. "You know exactly who he is. Isn't that why you came here? What exactly do you plan to accomplish?"
Bai Wei simply smiled. "I was just curious to see such a talented person. After all, he didn't kill my son in law after defeating him. In fact, I've considered thanking him."
The Sect Master of the Sword Sect nudged Zhu Yi. "Here it comes." He whispered.
"However, he knocked out my Bai Wei'er and pushed her to the ground. This is unforgivable."
