Chapter 662: Chapter 589: Breaking Through Successfully, Unstoppable!

When the last ray of sunlight disappeared below the horizon, night fell, and one by one, the lamps lit up every corner of the Tian Shan Sword Sect.

On the square, cultivators set up tents, gathered in groups of threes and fives, heartily eating meat and drinking wine, while talking about the interesting events of this Qing bang competition; inside the sect, many competing participants were also gathering for the first time, discussing tomorrow’s "Ye Bai Battle".

In their view, this battle would determine who was the Supreme of the younger generation!

Because Su Liuli had received the Bodhi Wu Yin’s inheritance, becoming the first amongst the young to step into the Gang Qi Introduction Realm, without cultivating on her own, they excluded her from consideration.

Beneath the night sky, Granny Jiang led Jiang Ying to Emperor Bai’s wooden hut, only to discover Emperor Bai was not there, and then they set off towards Jie Dao’s residence.

Just like with Chu Xuanji, Gu Yun, and other Supreme Strongmen, the Tian Shan Sword Sect had specially arranged a dwelling with a courtyard for Jie Dao.

When Granny Jiang and Jiang Ying arrived at the courtyard, they found Jie Dao pacing back and forth with furrowed brows, seeming somewhat anxious.

His anxiety stemmed from knowing that after today’s battle between Ye Fan and Leng Feng, Emperor Bai had chosen to close off and attempt a breakthrough into the Gang Qi Realm.

Without reaching the Gang Qi Realm, one could not be called a strong person.

The difficulty of breaking through to the Gang Qi Realm was truly great, plus a "Break and Stand" approach was needed for the breakthrough; if one failed, they would lose all their cultivation, making it extremely perilous.

Because of this, the Gang Qi Realm became the most challenging threshold for cultivators to cross; since ancient times, countless geniuses and demons were stopped outside the Gang Qi Realm, unable to join the ranks of the strong people.

Jie Dao, although endlessly praising Emperor Bai’s talent and knowing that Emperor Bai had made thorough preparations for his breakthrough to the Gang Qi Realm, still had some concerns and even suggested that Emperor Bai should not rush the attempt.

In his view, although Ye Fan’s Flying Knife Assassination Technique was tricky and powerful, it wasn’t necessarily unbeatable for Emperor Bai. Emperor Bai could completely stimulate his potential through the competition, which might make a breakthrough in the midst of battle more likely and easier to achieve.

Emperor Bai rejected Jie Dao’s suggestion.

In his words, he didn’t want to be unable to control the situation in this battle, on the contrary, he wanted to keep the situation under his control—he wanted Ye Fan dead by the third watch, Ye Fan’s life could not last till the fifth watch!

With this determination, Emperor Bai firmly entered Jie Dao’s residence to begin his breakthrough attempt.

From noon till now, a full six hours had passed, and Emperor Bai still hadn’t appeared, naturally making Jie Dao worried.

"Sister Jiang, Little Ying, you’ve come."

Jie Dao sensed the aura of Jiang Yurong and Jiang Ying, stopped walking, and turned to look back.

"Master Jie Dao, we’ve just been to Brother Emperor Bai’s residence and he wasn’t there. Is he here?" asked Jiang Ying impatiently.

"Mm, he’s in closed-door cultivation."

Jie Dao nodded, not hiding it from Jiang Yurong and Jiang Ying.

"Closed-door cultivation?"

At those words, Jiang Yurong’s heart stirred, and she asked, "Could it be that Little Emperor is trying to break through to the Gang Qi Introduction Realm?"

"Mm."

Jie Dao nodded again.

"Isn’t that a bit too eager?"

Jiang Yurong frowned and said, "That Ye brat’s Flying Knife Assassination Technique is indeed hard to guard against, but with Little Emperor’s power, he should have a larger chance of victory. Why have you let him rush to break into the Gang Qi Introduction Realm now? Waiting until after his battle with that Ye scoundrel, or even after this Qing bang competition, would obviously be much easier.

Besides, adversity can easily spark potential, and it’s very possible that Little Emperor could break through during the life-and-death battle with that Ye scoundrel."

"Sigh, that Ye brat has learned some mysterious Attack Secret Technique from somewhere, causing Little Emperor to feel a hint of crisis. Little Emperor has always been arrogant, never considering his peers as opponents, but rather viewing the older generation of strong people as his opponents, his targets. Because of this, he doesn’t want the competition to turn into a real life-and-death battle but intends to completely dictate the competition and easily kill that Ye scoundrel, which is why he chose to start closed-door cultivation for breaking through to the Gang Qi Introduction Realm," Jie Dao sighed and explained.

"Can Brother Emperor Bai succeed?"

Jiang Ying was a bit worried. Although she worshipped Emperor Bai to the extreme, believing that no one in the younger generation could compare with Emperor Bai, as a demon of the Jiang Family, she also knew how difficult it was to attempt a breakthrough to the Gang Qi Realm.

Without answering, Jie Dao and Jiang Yurong, as if by agreement, turned to look at the secret chamber behind them.

The chamber was a stone house with no windows, only a Stone Gate.

At this moment, the Stone Gate was firmly closed; they could not see Emperor Bai but could only sense his aura.

Hm?

Suddenly, Jie Dao, Jiang Yurong, and Jiang Ying were all moved at the same time!

Because they noticed that Emperor Bai’s aura had fluctuations, and they were very violent!

This discovery let them know as clearly as if they were looking into a mirror—Emperor Bai was officially starting his attempt at the Gang Qi Introduction Realm!

Indeed, as they had deduced, inside the stone house, Emperor Bai sat cross-legged, formally commencing his assault on the Gang Qi Introduction Realm.

Streams of Gang Qi gushed out from his body, filling the area around him, his expression steadfast and resolute, showing he would not give up until achieving his goal.

Whoosh!

After a brief moment, Emperor Bai suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze as sharp as lightning, emitting a terrifying aura all over.

Had the breakthrough been successful?

Outside the stone house, Jie Dao, Jiang Yurong, and Jiang Ying sensed the change in Emperor Bai’s aura and were overjoyed.

However—

Before the excitement on their faces faded, Emperor Bai’s aura changed again, reverting back to that of the Half-step Gang Qi Realm.

Then he slowly stood up and pressed a button next to the Stone Gate.

Crack—

A dull sound echoed as the stone gate slowly opened, and Emperor Bai emerged from the stone house, appearing within the sight of Jiang Yurong, Jie Dao, and Jiang Ying.

"Did you succeed?"

Jie Dao and the two others asked in unison, their expressions filled with tension and worry.

"Indeed, the breakthrough was successful."

Emperor Bai stood proudly and nodded slightly.

"Then why does your aura still seem like it’s at the Half-step Gang Qi realm?" Jiang Ying asked, puzzled.

"Did you deliberately suppress it just now and decided not to break through immediately, choosing to do so only when you felt like it?"

Jie Dao, more experienced than Jiang Ying, immediately pinpointed the crux of the matter.

"Yes, Master."

Emperor Bai nodded again, a look of unrivaled confidence on his face: "I have comprehended the true meaning of ’Break and Stand,’ broken through the bottleneck of the Gang Qi realm, and temporarily suppressed my realm—I can break through any time I wish, and I will be able to instantly adapt to everything at the Gang Qi Introduction Realm."

As his words fell, the aura around Emperor Bai changed.

As a leading figure of the young generation in the Hua Xia Cultivation World, he had always harbored an invincible belief. Now, having successfully challenged the Gang Qi Introduction Realm, that belief had transformed into an invincible aura—he was confident he could sweep through all his peers, including those demons and geniuses from the Five Great Alliances!

Likewise, given time, he was confident he could sweep through the entire Cultivation World, replacing Yan to become the supreme strongman of the era!

"Little Emperor truly possesses exceptional talent; his future accomplishments are boundless. He is very likely to become the only modern cultivator capable of reaching that Legendary Realm!"

Hearing Emperor Bai’s words and feeling the gradually forming invincible aura around him, Jiang Yurong sincerely exclaimed in admiration.

In her view, even though both were geniuses, the gap between Jiang Ying and Emperor Bai was not small, the same held true for other young cultivators!

"Heh, now that Brother Emperor Bai has successfully challenged the Gang Qi Introduction Realm, whether it’s that bastard Ye Fan or that bitch Su Liuli, they are doomed to fall under Brother Emperor Bai’s blade!"

Jiang Ying sneered triumphantly, as if she was the one who had successfully attacked the Gang Qi Introduction Realm, or as if she was witnessing the scene of Ye Fan and Su Liuli being slain by Emperor Bai!

"Not just those two brats, but also that old dog Chu Xuanji!"

Jie Dao too was excited, rubbing his hands together with a cold laugh, "He publicly claimed to stake his life on the outcome of Little Emperor’s life-and-death battle with that Ye Family brat. I want to see how he will take his own life!"

"What if he goes back on his word and doesn’t commit suicide?" Jiang Ying asked.

"If that really happens, then Chu Xuanji will no longer have the face to exist in the Hua Xia Cultivation World after that, which would be even more painful than death."

Jiang Yurong said with a smile, shaking her head as if she wasn’t the least bit worried about Chu Xuanji reneging on his promise.

"Three heads in one battle, Brother Little Emperor is destined to leave a profound mark in the annals of Hua Xia cultivation history!"

Jiang Ying said excitedly, as if she could already see the day when Emperor Bai would dominate the global cultivation world.

"By the way, Little Emperor, your phone vibrated once when you were in seclusion. It must have been someone trying to call you. Take a look."

Having calmed down from the excitement, Jie Dao remembered something and handed a specially designed phone to Emperor Bai.

This phone was specially prepared by the Ye Family for Emperor Bai, to ensure that they could contact him anytime and anywhere with excellent confidentiality.

Emperor Bai took the phone, turned it on, and saw a text message from Bai Guotao. He immediately flipped to Bai Guotao’s number and called.

In Yanjing, within the exclusive restaurant of Zhongnanhai.

An elder and other attendees gathered together, dining and sharing their thoughts on the day’s meeting.

Buzz—

Suddenly, the vibrating sound of a phone broke the silence, and Bai Guotao took out his phone to see it was a call from Emperor Bai. He looked apologetically at the elder, then quickly left the dining room.

"Little Emperor, I heard that the Ye Family’s little brat easily defeated the Yanhuang Organization’s Leng Feng. What’s going on with that? How did his strength suddenly become so formidable?"

Half a minute later, Bai Guotao stepped into an empty lounge, answered the call, and asked in a hushed, rapid tone.

"He has learned some mysterious Mind Attack Secret Technique from somewhere." Emperor Bai replied truthfully.

"I heard that with his current strength, he could pose a threat to you. Is that so?"

Bai Guotao did not understand nor had any interest in the so-called Mind Attack Secret Technique; he was only concerned if Ye Fan could now pose a threat to Emperor Bai.

"No."

Emperor Bai’s reply was succinct and confident.

"Really?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Guotao was first relieved, then somewhat uneasily continued, "But I heard that Leng Feng, although not as strong as you, wasn’t much weaker either. Since the Ye Family brat could easily defeat Leng Feng, does it not mean..."

"Uncle, times have changed. I have successfully challenged the Gang Qi Introduction Realm; Leng Feng no longer qualifies to be my opponent,"

Emperor Bai interrupted Bai Guotao, stating dominantly, "And as for... Ye Fan, slaughtering him will be as easy as cutting down chickens, effortless!"
