Chapter 1039: Chapter 1040: Halberd Star Refining Final Realm

Like a bolt from the blue, it streaked across Chu You’s mind, seemingly lashing at his soul relentlessly.

Where was he when the Cui Family faced a dire situation? What was he doing?!

At this moment, a slight sense of bewilderment could be discerned in Chu You’s eyes...

The Cui Family? Annihilated to the last man?!

His eyes quickly regained focus, and he reached out to embrace Cui Nuanjun’s delicate, boneless little body, holding her tight.

And Cui Nuanjun let go of the Ten Tails Young Cub and plunged into the man’s embrace. The Ten Tails Young Cub moved nimbly and silently onto the carpet, glanced at the two of them, then lay down and closed its eyes.

The jade beauty in his arms was shivering terribly, followed by a burst of intense sobbing, and Chu You felt a slight sting—it was Cui Nuanjun’s nails against his skin, just not piercing it.

Listening to the girl’s painful crying, Chu You’s eyes became a bit lost in thought, scenes from the past flashing in his mind.

It was hard to imagine what Cui Nuanjun, who was at the academy, had gone through when she received this terrible news.

Not until now, not until he was finally about to take her back, did she reveal her feelings?!

If she didn’t tell him, to whom could she turn?!

After a short while, a hand gently rested on the young girl’s back, and a voice, tinged with both guilt and anger, sounded in a timely manner.

"Xiao Jun, I’ll take you home, and let you see with your own eyes how the Yan Kingdom falls and how the life of the Yan Emperor will end at your hands!"

"Xiao Jun, I’m so sorry, I..."

Did I misjudge the situation? When I received the letter from Cui Yun, could all my actions have changed the fate of the Cui Family? If I had truly valued it, I should have... much earlier.

Did I not care in the first place? Or did I simply not take it seriously?!

An extraordinarily splendid royal carriage slowly traversed the streets, attracting a myriad of players who had never seen such a luxurious carriage before, drawn by two magnificent and mighty unicorns at its forefront—its appearance exuding luxury and nobility!

Without a doubt, this sparked intense curiosity among many players. Could it be a 12-star power seated within?!

Or perhaps one of the top managers from the central city of Huaxia?!

Players could occasionally be seen drawing near, yet when they came within two feet of the carriage, they couldn’t get any closer, repelled by a force.

This force also shielded against any sneaky inspection or scanning of abilities.

Besides, even if the carriage’s defense were not effective, there was still Chu You’s keen perception and the Ten Tails Young Cub’s extraordinary senses!

"You don’t need to apologize for anything; this was the path the Cui Family chose to walk on its own."

Looking at Xiao Jun burying her head in his chest, shuddering, Chu You felt that she had really grown up. But why was he feeling this odd mix of discomfort and indebtedness?

"You’ll accompany me to the Sect, and then, then I will take you to seek vengeance." Chu You said these words rather calmly.

...

The Battle Halberd Gladiator Sect of Huaxia’s central city.

Chu You’s exclusive carriage came to a stop here. Following a brief exchange with the guards, the Sect gates opened, and the carriage rolled in.

This left a trail of paparazzi players with faces etched in disappointment and loss.

The Battle Halberd Gladiator Sect resembled an enormous Imperial Palace, each building appeared imposing and majestic. One part of the Hua Xia Dragon God had passed through here, and that part had a colossal dragon claw—even as a stone carving, it looked mysteriously awe-inspiring.

Eventually, the carriage stopped below the main hall, which sat atop hundreds of steps!

From Chu You’s angle, the main hall seemed incredibly oppressive. However, there was not the slightest trace of reverence in his eyes. He alone ascended the steps, leaving Cui Nuanjun in the carriage.

When Chu You appeared at the entrance to the main hall, he saw many people inside looking at him. Sitting high up in the most prestigious seat was an old man—the Sect Leader of the Battle Halberd Gladiator Sect.

The NPC disciples of the Battle Halberd Gladiator Sect were all male, and each one was exceptionally handsome, with a spirited and lofty bearing, a tall and slender physique, and some of them even had a red dot at the center of their brows.

Now, everyone was looking at Chu You who had appeared at the entrance, with an Immortal Halberd on his back.

Just as they fell into a kind of absolute silence, the old man at the very back who was clearly the Sect Leader spoke up, except...

"Hey! What are you all staring at, have you never seen a man more handsome than yourselves!!"

The Sect Master’s roar, resonated with the group of extraordinary and high-ranking disciples. It was as if they were enlightened by the sudden realization, as they hurriedly turned their gazes away from Chu You, focusing on themselves, some even closing their eyes outright.

"A bunch of salted fish!!"

After scolding them, the Sect Leader’s expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Chu You outside with a cold demeanor, indifferently saying, "Night Ghost, right? I have been paying attention to you for a long time."

"I am honored for your care."

"Care does not exist, the path you have taken so far has been one step at a time, and I deeply regret that you did not participate in the sect competition."

"Alright, come in."

With that, Chu You stepped over the long threshold and entered the main hall, stopping at the center without going any further.

"Night Ghost, I am truly proud of you because you are the first Dao child in the cultivation world to reach Great Perfection, and you are a disciple of my Battle Halberd Gladiator Sect!"

"Ha-ha-ha, when you were converting and practicing our Sect’s Cultivation Technique, our Sect had a wager with other major sects to see whose disciples would be the first to reach Great Perfection, and now you have won all the stakes for me!"

"Ha-ha, ’salted fish’ should not be called out lightly. Starting from today, all other major sects will be known as the Salted Fish Sects, ha-ha-ha!"

Chu You waited quietly, not interjecting in the conversation.

"Cough, Night Ghost, now that you have reached Great Perfection, you have come to inherit the ultimate teachings of the Battle Halberd Gladiator and to unlock the Halberd Star Shen Zang, haven’t you?"

"Indeed."

"Very good, your weapon is quite impressive as well. Take a seat."

Then, Chu You sat down on the spot, and the Sect Leader looked at everyone else: "All sit down." Thus, everyone in the great hall seated themselves.

"You have not completed any sect missions, and by rights, you should not be granted the inheritance, but you are the first in the cultivation world to reach Great Perfection, so we will overlook these formalities." By the end of his statement, the Sect Leader waved his hand as if he also found those tedious formalities annoying.

"Listen well, Night Ghost, this opportunity for inheritance and enlightenment comes only once. Your comprehension and mastery of the halberd will determine whether you will possess a stronger Halberd Star Shen Zang."

"What the Sect Leader wants to remind you is that if your Great Perfection was achieved by forced growth, the Sect Leader advises you to engage in more real combat with the higher-level halberd techniques. Otherwise..."

"Sect Leader, I have made up my mind."

"Fine, but Night Ghost, since you have inherited and unlocked the Halberd Star Shen Zang, from now on you will have to make more contributions to the sect. Of course, the sect will certainly not treat you unfairly." The Sect Leader spoke these words with great solemnity.

"Disciple will remember."

"Then, activate the Halberd Star Inheritance Great Realm!"

A halberd flew out from the Sect Leader’s palm, and as soon as it appeared outside, it revealed its true form, nearly as long as the Immortal Halberd. Unlike the Immortal Halberd, this halberd’s appearance was incredibly domineering!

It seemed as though the halberd was backed by countless billions of corpses, its imposing breath releasing an extremely soul-captivating pressure.

Everyone’s expressions became serious.

This imposing halberd hovered above Chu You’s head, and then an array similar to a compass spread out in all directions from the halberd, which then shot a beam of light enveloping Chu You.

One could see at this moment, Chu You closed his eyes, his entire body became ethereal.

System: You have entered the Halberd Star Refining Final Realm!
