Beside the Starry Pavilion, golden light surged from the stone stele, emanating a rich golden radiance that bathed the entire square, making the surroundings resplendent.
Everyone was stunned, watching the scene before them, gasping in astonishment and inhaling sharply.
During the test, if golden light appeared, it meant that the person had reached the extreme realm of body refinement.
Sure enough!
As the golden light gradually dissipated, a mind-blowing number appeared on the stone stele—100,000!
"One hundred thousand jin of strength, indeed the realm of extreme body refinement!"
"Oh my god, Xiao Yun has just laid the foundation, and he has already reached the realm of extreme body refinement. This is undoubtedly the qualification of a saint's disciple."
"What saint's disciple? He's a divine child. He just voluntarily gave up his divine child status."
"He truly deserves to be the unparalleled genius who made the Chaos Bell ring nine times."
...
The onlookers exclaimed in shock, looking at Xiao Yun with eyes filled with awe and astonishment. There was no more mockery, only admiration and astonishment.
To achieve the realm of extreme body refinement immediately after laying the foundation, such talent was rare even within the Chaos Holy Land. Only a few saints' disciples could accomplish that.
Therefore, Xiao Yun's talent was unquestionable, and no one doubted it anymore.
"Darn it, how could this be?" Not far away, Zhu Ping looked up at the number on the stone stele, his face incredibly gloomy, finding it hard to believe.
Next to him, Chu Jingxiao also stared blankly at the number on the stone stele. He had only been teasing Xiao Yun earlier, but he never expected that Xiao Yun would actually reach the realm of extreme body refinement in one day. It was a great irony to him.
"Hehehe, I knew Senior Brother was the best!"
Upon seeing the number on the stone stele, Lin Xiaoya cheered excitedly. She placed one hand on her waist and pointed at Zhu Ping and Chu Jingxiao, mocking, "You guys underestimated my Senior Brother and accused him of cheating. Now you see how amazing my Senior Brother is!"
"Let's go!" Chu Jingxiao's face turned red with embarrassment. Feeling the gazes of the people around him, he just wanted to find a hole to hide in. He couldn't face anyone anymore.
Zhu Ping also slinked away with a dejected look, following Chu Jingxiao.
"Hahaha, Senior Brother, look at how they flee in embarrassment!" Lin Xiaoya felt a burst of satisfaction in her heart. She hugged Xiao Yun's arm and shook it, excited beyond measure.
Xiao Yun smiled, currently checking his system. He had successfully caused a commotion and garnered attention from the people around him, completing the system's mission and obtaining three moments of enlightenment.
At the moment, he still had seven moments of enlightenment left.
"It's still not enough. The number of moments of enlightenment required to cultivate the 'Chaos Scripture' is too high. I still need to accumulate more." Xiao Yun thought to himself.
Fortunately, he wouldn't lack tasks in the future. As long as he continued to "show off," he would gain moments of enlightenment.
After each "show-off," he would receive three moments of enlightenment, which was truly enjoyable.
"However, this means I can no longer cultivate discreetly. I have to constantly seek opportunities to show off!" Xiao Yun contemplated.
The purpose of "showing off" was to make people gasp in amazement. In doing so, he would naturally be unable to cultivate discreetly and had to stand at the forefront of the cultivation world's "trend."
Fortunately, Xiao Yun didn't mind. After all, he had caused the Chaos Bell to ring nine times and had already become famous in the Chaos Holy Land. Even if he wanted to keep a low profile, he couldn't.
"Next, I must quickly break through the realm of extreme body refinement and step into the forbidden domain. That should continue to amaze them!" Xiao Yun had already started considering how to "show off" next. After all, as long as he did so, he would gain moments of enlightenment. He had no choice!
"Senior Brother, it's our turn. Let's enter the Starry Pavilion and choose our martial techniques!" Suddenly, Lin Xiaoya's voice came from beside him.
Xiao Yun raised his head and looked at the queue in front of him. He realized they had already arrived at the entrance of the Starry Pavilion.
The entrance of the Starry Pavilion was very large, accommodating more than ten people at a time, making the queue move quickly.
Immediately, Xiao Yun and Lin Xiaoya entered the Starry Pavilion.
"Wow..."
As they entered the Starry Pavilion, Lin Xiaoya exclaimed in astonishment.
Xiao Yun was also overwhelmed.
Because the Starry Pavilion contained a myriad of space, stars twinkled above their heads, and towering pillars stood around them, seemingly at the edge of the universe. The scene was incredibly magnificent.
What was even more astonishing was that the stars overhead were constantly moving, occasionally falling and landing in the hands of someone nearby, revealing an ancient book.
"Close your eyes and guard your mind. Wait for the Starry Pavilion to choose martial techniques for you!" Suddenly, a loud voice resounded in everyone's ears.
Xiao Yun knew it was the powerful figure guarding the Starry Pavilion of the Chaos Holy Land, so he quickly closed his eyes.
At this moment, Xiao Yun was still unaware that his display of the Extreme Body Refinement cultivation had attracted the attention of many powerful figures from the Chaos Sacred Ground to the Starry Pavilion.
Even Xiao Yun's master, Elder Emperor Tian, had arrived.
At this moment, a senior elder looked at Emperor Tian and smiled, saying, "Emperor Tian, with Xiao Yun's talent, he should be bestowed with a super combat technique by the Starry Pavilion, right?"
Emperor Tian smiled faintly and replied, "Indeed, since he was able to make the Chaos Bell ring nine times, the Starry Pavilion should rank him at the highest level."
"Hmph!" Not far away, a cold shout came from a hazy figure sitting cross-legged in the void, enveloped in a sea of mist, emitting a daunting aura.
Emperor Tian glanced at the person and sneered, "Tian Yi, weren't you in seclusion attempting to break through to the Heavenly Realm? Why did you come out? Did you fail?"
Boom!
As Emperor Tian's words fell, that hazy figure suddenly burst out with a powerful aura, causing everyone present to exclaim in astonishment.
"It's a half-step into the Heavenly Realm!"
"It seems that Tian Yi is not far from stepping into the Heavenly Realm."
...
The various senior elders and elders marveled at the scene.
Emperor Tian's expression also turned solemn.
The hazy figure called Tian Yi coldly snorted and said, "Emperor Tian, although your battle prowess is astonishing, you are still unable to step into the Heavenly Realm. A hundred years from now, you will be nothing more than a handful of dust. Your disciple Xiao Yun is the same. No matter how exceptional his talent is, in the end, he is just a shooting star. On the contrary, my disciple Chu Jingxiao will follow in my footsteps, step into the Heavenly Realm, and even aspire to reach the realm of the Saint."
Emperor Tian's face darkened, and he retorted, "No matter what, you are still my defeated subordinate, and your disciple will be a defeated subordinate of my disciple."
"A temporary failure means nothing. I will step into the Heavenly Realm, increase my lifespan by another thousand years, while you will turn into ashes. In the future, people will only know that I, Tian Yi, am a powerful Heavenly Realm expert, while Emperor Tian will be forgotten by everyone." Tian Yi said coldly.
The surrounding senior elders and elders, upon witnessing their argument, hurriedly advised, "Why must the two of you confront each other? We all belong to the same sect and should work together!"
Just then, within the Starry Pavilion below, a dim star descended into Xiao Yun's hand.
Upon noticing this scene, the onlookers were dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief.
"This... Is this a third-rate combat technique?" a senior elder's eyes widened in confusion and disbelief. After all, this was the genius who made the Chaos Bell ring nine times. How could he be granted the lowest-grade combat skill by the Starry Pavilion?
