五月丁香五月丁香激情

Although he had yet to break through to the next level, the new Heaven\'s Fate power he had acquired, combined with his prior planning, was enough to create an illusion of strength. With this, he could confidently re-enter the Zouyi Dynasty and ensure his own safety.

Unlike before, when he was burdened with the title of "Chaotic Fate Practitioner," a single misstep could have led to countless Destiny Masters besieging him, following the same disastrous path as Kong Shi.

Even as the lord of a world, the immense power gained from burning his world wasn’t enough to guarantee escape from the coordinated pursuit of the entire Destiny Hall. Though his New World offered a refuge, if his fate were traced, even a sliver of fate energy could spell disaster—not only for himself but for the New World as well, ultimately resulting in widespread destruction and the collapse of the entire universe.

This wasn’t pessimism or idle speculation but cold, hard truth.

The destruction of the Firmament had been a dire example. A single palm had shattered Heaven\'s Path and divided the Firmament into three sections, likely due to a formidable Destiny Master tracing Nie Yun\'s fate. The palm contained no fate energy, only common Source Energy, yet it obliterated the Spirit Source Heaven of the Firmament, killing the Deathless Monarch Little Chick on the spot. Countless deities lost their divinity and became aberrant spirits.

The spiritual energy of the entire Firmament dissipated, leaving it to rely on spiritual energy tides for survival. If Zhang Xuan hadn’t later surpassed and mended Heaven\'s Path, reviving Nie Yun, the Firmament would have eventually collapsed. This collapse would also plunge the Upper Heavens and the Master Teacher Continent into chaos, reducing everything to nothingness.

Thus, facing danger, he could use the New World to hide, but being discovered—even slightly—could cause the world to shatter, leading to his demise.

He couldn’t gamble on that possibility.

Even if his goal was to rescue Kong Shi, he first needed to ensure his own safety.

After persistent effort, he had finally gained some confidence.

“The momentum of this tidal wave has yet to fully recover, but it should now possess the strength of a Level Six Heaven\'s Fate…” Zhang Xuan speculated as he dismissed his stray thoughts.

This "Tidal Wave Momentum" had been extracted from a cultivator using an extraordinary method. It had the potential of Level Five but hadn’t yet reached its peak.

It was akin to possessing Lin Dan\'s talent in badminton but only just starting out—it was impossible to defeat world champions immediately.

The potential of Level Five was a theoretical ceiling without a bottleneck, not a current reality. When Zhang Xuan refined it, it had only been around Level Eight. Its sheer potential and high specifications were what had overwhelmed Min Jiangtao.

After replenishing it with 20 million strands of Heaven\'s Fate Energy, its strength had reached Level Six, exuding an imposing aura that commanded fear from the likes of Sun Qiang and Dao Li.

A Level Six Heaven\'s Fate power matched the realm of a Four-Star Destiny Master. This meant Zhang Xuan’s understanding of fate now rivaled a Four-Star Destiny Master, far surpassing an expert like Mo Baiye, a mere Three-Star.

Unfortunately, the Tidal Wave Momentum only enhanced aura, not cultivation or strength. Thus, his cultivation remained stagnant at Source Pool Realm Ninth Level.

In layman\'s terms, his aura was now comparable to a Star River Realm Sixth or Seventh Level expert, but his cultivation was still firmly rooted in the Source Pool Realm.

Tragic!

As Zhang Xuan pondered this, Sun Qiang\'s voice broke his reverie.

“Young Master, was that aura just now a kind of Heaven\'s Fate? I’d like to learn it…”

“You?” Zhang Xuan was taken aback.

Sun Qiang nodded eagerly, his eyes sparkling with anticipation. A power that allowed him to exude overwhelming presence without actual strength? It was perfect for showing off!

“Alright, I’ll demonstrate Heaven\'s Fate for you. Whether you can grasp it depends on your ability,” Zhang Xuan agreed after some thought.

With a resounding roar, the Tidal Wave Momentum surged once more. Wave after wave rippled outward, as if tearing apart the spirit and soul.

Across from him, Sun Qiang gritted his teeth and endured. After an indeterminate amount of time, his previously tense demeanor relaxed considerably.

“Young Master, I got it!” Sun Qiang exclaimed, his fat trembling with excitement.

“Show me,” Zhang Xuan said, curious.

Sun Qiang raised his eyebrows, clasped his hands behind his back, and unleashed his aura.

In an instant, a powerful presence emanated from him, exuding an undeniable sense of dominance. The aura was indistinguishable from that of a Star River Realm First Level expert. Even Zhang Xuan found it hard to discern its authenticity at first glance. ȓ

“This…” Zhang Xuan was stunned.

The aura Sun Qiang had managed to replicate was comparable to the Second Stage of Heaven\'s Fate. And he had achieved this after merely a brief period of observation?

As Zhang Xuan glanced at the Library of Heaven’s Path, the Riverbank of the Tidal Wave Momentum in his mind expanded slightly. Though the growth was modest, it indicated a notable increase in potential.

Pleased, Zhang Xuan nodded.

Sun Qiang might not excel in blade or sword techniques, but when it came to flashy moves, he was a natural prodigy. Letting him perfect such techniques could provide Zhang Xuan with an easy path to advancement.

After assigning Sun Qiang some training, Zhang Xuan entered seclusion. Since he had adapted his techniques into the Pathos of Heaven, it was time to attempt a breakthrough to the Dharma Aspect Realm!

While Zhang Xuan focused on his cultivation, Hanyuan City plunged into chaos.

First, Hall Master Han Xiao of the Destiny Hall was killed, followed by Han Qianchou’s death. The loss of these two influential figures left a power vacuum, causing widespread unrest.

Several factions seized the opportunity to expand their territories, achieving significant gains.

For example, the Second Prince of the Hanyuan royal family staged a coup, imprisoning the Crown Prince and seizing the throne.

Within the Destiny Hall, Vice Hall Master Chai Yunsheng convened a council of elders and was unanimously elected as the new Hall Master.

Amidst these power shifts, smaller halls and groups were not spared. Once-dominant factions like Baiyun Hall and Hanyetang were destroyed, while others like Moyoutang rose to prominence.

However, none of this concerned Zhang Xuan.

He had only vied for the position of Vice Hall Master to cement Ling Buyang’s identity. Now that it was no longer needed, there was no reason to linger.

The upper echelons of Hanyuan City were well aware that Han Xiao and Han Qianchou’s deaths were likely linked to Ling Buyang. Yet, his fearsome reputation deterred anyone from seeking trouble.

Zhang Xuan relished the rare peace.

Three days of rigorous cultivation brought Zhang Xuan’s strength to a tipping point. His aura grew increasingly formidable, signaling an imminent breakthrough.

Finally, with a deafening roar, his Source Pool resonated, releasing an overwhelming surge of energy.

He had shattered the barrier of the Roaming Realm, and a colossal Dharma Aspect manifested behind him.

Source Pool Realm Ninth Level—the pinnacle of the Dharma Aspect Realm!

Accompanying his breakthrough, Zhang Xuan’s strength surged once more, reaching an astonishing 2,500 horsepower!

Not far away, Min Jiangtao also reached a crucial moment in his cultivation. During the past two days, he had acquired and consumed the Forgotten Flower Grass Zhang Xuan had recommended.

As the herb slid down his throat, a euphoric sensation overwhelmed him, fogging his mind and lifting his spirits.

“Cultivate!”

Suppressing his drowsiness, Min Jiangtao gripped his Mo Dao tightly and began his practice.

With each swing of his blade, Heaven\'s Fate Energy gathered around him. In this state of euphoric focus, he overcame his physical limitations and executed a dozen flawless strikes.

Suddenly, a warm energy surged from his Source Pool, clearing his mind with unparalleled clarity.

This post-euphoric state left him feeling serene and completely composed.

“I… I’ve really broken through?”

Sensing his newfound power, Min Jiangtao clenched his fists tightly.

After years of stagnation at the peak of the Star River Realm Second Level, he had finally advanced.

With his Third Level Star River Realm, also known as the Serenity Realm, he felt a newfound freedom from distraction—a complete focus unhindered by external concerns.

Min Jiangtao’s joy was soon interrupted by a mighty aura radiating from Zhang Xuan’s direction, leaving him both awed and intimidated.

The waves of energy emanating from Zhang Xuan now towered like a tidal surge, reaching an impressive 150 feet in height and filling him with despair.

“This aura… Why does it contain the power of the Dharma Aspect Realm?” Min Jiangtao muttered in shock.
