Yao Yun was ranked 30th on the Qi Roll, and also last on the Qi Roll.
However, being able to enter the Qi Roll was a great honor in itself. On the Divine Wind Nation's Qi Roll, only those who were 25 years old and at the Qi Transformation Realm had the right to compete for a spot on the Qi Roll.
The top 30 on the Qi Roll represented the unrivalled Qi Transformation Realm of the younger generation of the Divine Wind Nation.
Yao Yun was an outstanding member of the Sky Defense Lake's younger generation. Although he wasn't the strongest member of the Sky Defense Lake, he could still be ranked in the top three.
Yao Yun had entered the Dark Sky Plains long ago. The reason he hadn't been with the martialists of the three factions was because he wanted to find an opportunity to obtain the treasure and soar.
Previously, Yao Yun had heard that Star and Moon had entered the Dark Sky Plains. Although the Sky Defense Lake had sent him to stop Star and Moon, he had been intentionally avoiding Star and Moon.
That was because Star and Moon's ranking on the Qi Roll was much higher than his, and he wasn't a match for Star and Moon.
Not long ago, Yao Yun had accidentally entered this unexplored area. Although he had encountered some dangers along the way, it could be considered a daunting experience without any mishaps.
Finally, he discovered a towering mountain in the depths of the region. Yao Yun's face was filled with an excited smile.
However, when Yao Yun reached the foot of the mountain, he discovered a martialist standing in front of him. His expression changed slightly as he said, "You are an outsider."
Yao Yun didn't recognize this martialist. In the Dark Sky Plains, there was no one else other than an outsider.
When the Icy Heaven Hall Master saw Yao Yun approaching, she said icily, "You'd better not approach this mountain."
When he heard the Icy Heaven Hall Master's words, Yao Yun's eyes lit up. He was even more convinced that this mountain was the location of the treasure.
"Scram," Yao Yun said.
When the Icy Heaven Hall Master saw Yao Yun make a move, she attacked without hesitation.
A pitch-black light shot out of the Icy Heaven Hall Master's body as streaks of swift and fierce attacks headed straight for Yao Yun.
"Hmph! Ninth level Qi Transformation Realm?"
Yao Yun sneered.
A martialist on the Qi Roll was unrivalled in the Qi Transformation Realm.
Thus, when she saw the Icesnow Heavenly Hall's Master attacking, disdain filled Yao Yun's face.
Just as Iceheaven's Master's attack was about to reach Yao Yun's body, he clenched his fist and gathered all the strength in his body into his fist. Then, he punched out.
Boom
A tyrannical Fist Ray appeared from Yao Yun's fist. Bringing with it a tyrannical aura, it engulfed the entire land and attacked towards the Ice Heaven Sect Master.
Crack
The Icesky Heavenly Hall's Hall Master's attack was instantly shattered by Yao Yun. Then, Yao Yun's fist ray, which carried an even stronger power, directly shot toward the Icesky Heavenly Hall's Hall Master.
When the Ice Heaven Sect Master was at her peak, she was a martial artist at the peak of the Qi Hai Realm. But because she was severely injured, her cultivation level dropped. After years of continuous recovery, she finally reached the ninth level of the Qi Transformation Realm and was about to step into the Qi Hai Realm.
However, he met Yao Yun at this moment.
Boom
After a loud explosion, the Ice Heaven Master's body was instantly sent flying by Yao Yun.
"A mere ant dares to block my path?"
Yao Yun stepped forward step by step, his face filled with coldness.
Just as Yao Yun was about to reach the Ice Heaven Sect Master, the latter's body suddenly exploded. Then, an invisible force directly attacked Yao Yun.
"You're courting death."
Seeing this, Yao Yun violently swung his fist, shattering the invisible force with a single punch.
But at this moment, Yao Yun realized that the Ice Heaven Sect Master had already disappeared.
"Hmph, little ant. Even if I let you go, you won't amount to anything."
Yao Yun's eyes were filled with excitement as he looked at the towering mountain peak.
In his eyes, the treasure was the most important. He wasn't willing to waste time chasing after a martial artist at the ninth level of the Qi Transformation Realm.
"The treasure is mine." Yao Yun said excitedly.
Then, Yao Yun stepped onto the stairs.
When he stepped onto the stairs, he discovered the test of the stairs. Then, like Fang Chen, he began to comprehend the water element aura.
After the Ice Heaven Master escaped, she transmitted a message to Fang Chen, saying that a powerful expert was approaching the flowing palace. But Fang Chen was in the midst of cultivation and didn't hear it at all.
At this moment in the flowing palace, Fang Chen sat quietly on a futon.
Around him, streams of water constantly revolved around his body.
Upon closer inspection, Fang Chen's breathing could even affect the flow of the water. If this scene was seen by others, they would definitely be shocked.
This was the first sign of comprehending the concept of water.
Hiss Hiss Hiss
At this moment, Fang Chen's mind was filled with a milky white aura. This milky white aura contained an unparalleled power.
This was the concept of water.
The concept of water, like sword intent, was also one of the countless concepts.
Water, gentle and smooth.
All of a sudden, a rumbling sound could be heard from the palace. In the next moment, Fang Chen's eyes sprang open.
In the flowing palace, countless streams of water surged into Fang Chen's body.
Splash!
In just a moment, Fang Chen's body had absorbed all the water in the flowing palace.
The moment Fang Chen opened his eyes, his eyes were filled with a rich concept of water.
"Is this the concept of water?"
Fang Chen said excitedly. In these two months, Fang Chen had completely accepted the Water Demon's inheritance and comprehended the concept of water.
One had to admit that the Water Demon's achievement in the Dao of Water was too amazing.
If it wasn't for the Water Demon's inheritance, Fang Chen wouldn't have been able to comprehend the concept of water in such a short time.
Of course, the most important factor was the golden heart. When comprehending the concept of water, the golden heart also provided Fang Chen with a lot of convenience.
Moreover, Fang Chen discovered that the golden heart could actually absorb the concept of water to replenish its energy.
Crack!
Just when Fang Chen was happy that he comprehended the concept of water, the yellow futon in front of the flowing palace suddenly turned into a purple pillar.
When this purple pillar floated above Fang Chen's head, the entire flowing palace trembled.
"What's going on?"
Fang Chen was also shocked. Why did the flowing palace tremble? What was that purple pillar?
Just when Fang Chen was shocked, the purple pillar suddenly drilled into Fang Chen's mind.
When the purple pillar entered Fang Chen's body, the latter's aura changed.
Rip!
Fang Chen's clothes were instantly torn. At this moment, Fang Chen felt that his body was filled with power.
"How can this be?"
Fang Chen felt that he couldn't control this power. It was too tyrannical.
Rumble!
In his Dantian, the True Nucleus was also constantly rotating, as if it wanted to completely absorb this tyrannical power.
Dong!
The flowing palace trembled heavily. Fang Chen was shocked to find that half of the terrifying purple energy had been absorbed by the True Nucleus.
At this moment, his cultivation level had naturally reached the Sixth Tier of the Qi Transformation Realm.
"Sixth Tier of the Qi Transformation Realm!"
At this moment, Fang Chen finally understood that this terrifying purple pillar was a gift that the Water Demon had left for the fated one.
Dong!
Fang Chen's cultivation had just reached the Sixth Tier of the Qi Transformation Realm when the terrifying purple energy attacked him again.
Early Sixth Tier of the Qi Transformation Realm, Mid Sixth Tier, Peak Sixth Tier, Seventh Tier!
As Fang Chen stared in shock, his cultivation rose like a rocket to the Seventh Tier of the Qi Transformation Realm.
This scene caused Fang Chen to be extremely shocked.
When his cultivation reached the Seventh Tier of the Qi Transformation Realm, the terrifying purple energy in his body finally dissipated.
Crash!
The purple energy finally completely dissipated, and Fang Chen's cultivation stabilized at the early Seventh Tier of the Qi Transformation Realm.
The flowing palace stopped trembling, and everything returned to normal.
Fang Chen felt like he was in a dream. He looked at his cultivation in disbelief.
"I jumped two levels in a row," Fang Chen said in a daze.
Even the Four Heavenly Kings of Kamikaze Kenbu would not be able to do this.
He had actually jumped two levels in a row, from the Fifth Tier of the Qi Transformation Realm to the Seventh Tier of the Qi Transformation Realm.
After a while, Fang Chen finally calmed himself down.
"Is this the Seventh Tier of the Qi Transformation Realm? I feel like my entire body is filled with power," Fang Chen said.
When he was at the Fifth Tier of the Qi Transformation Realm, Fang Chen could already fight a Ninth Tier martial artist. Now that he was at the Seventh Tier of the Qi Transformation Realm, he could definitely fight a martial artist on the Qi Ranking.
"The trip to the Dark Sky Plains was too rewarding," Fang Chen said.
After that, Fang Chen began to stabilize his cultivation.
After three days, Fang Chen completely stabilized his cultivation at the Seventh Tier of the Qi Transformation Realm. The terrifying purple energy had also been completely absorbed by Fang Chen. Not a single bit was left.
At this time, Fang Chen smiled.
"As expected of the Water Demon. After his death, he could still leave behind such a powerful energy." Fang Chen could not help but sigh.
The Water Demon was so powerful that the energy he left behind had directly helped Fang Chen increase his cultivation by two levels.
This trip to the flowing palace had not only allowed Fang Chen to understand the concept of water, but his cultivation had also increased greatly.
When the first layer of the golden heart had been unsealed, Fang Chen had obtained the Water-Fire Sword Technique. But in order to cultivate it, he had to understand the concept of water and fire.
Now, Fang Chen had successfully understood the concept of water. As long as he understood the concept of fire, he would be able to cultivate the Water-Fire Sword Technique.
Fang Chen bowed deeply to the flowing palace three times, and then said, "I will never forget the kindness of the Water Demon."
After that, Fang Chen left.
As soon as Fang Chen left the palace, a rare phenomenon took place in the Dark Sky Valley.
The moment Fang Chen left the flowing palace, the gray aura on the Dark Sky Plains disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, the gray aura on the Dark Sky Plains disappeared completely.
At the same time, the flowing palace collapsed, and the stairs shattered.
"What's going on?"
