Chapter 805: The Heaven Sword True Lord

It was a punch that made the entire world stop.

The Heavenly Law Seal Yin Yang Wheel contained all lights and all colors in the world as it magnificently descended from the heavens.

Yet this terrifying Heavenly Tribulation could not suppress, shake, or subdue Tang Jie.

That heaven-opening punch confronted this flood of power head-on, and the ensuing blast of wind melted away Tang Jie's skin and flesh, as if he was snow under a searing sun, and all was turned to ash.

Even the Freedom Celestial Sovereign could not stand up against the great wheel?

But a moment later, everyone saw the little Primal Infant in the middle of that incinerated body, rapidly growing larger in the face of that apocalyptic Heavenly Tribulation, radiating a divine golden light.

Protected by the golden light, the obliterated body was reforming, faster and more perfectly than ever before!

Although Tang Jie's original body and avatar had been able to fuse through the Dao of Merging, there had always been a lack of completeness. The avatar was still the avatar, and the original body was still the original body. It was only through the power of the Dao that they were forcibly squished together.

But now, everything was different.

Through the power of the Yin Yang Wheel and through his ascension to Deification, Tang Jie had truly completed his fusion.

This was the truly complete Tang Jie, the real original body.

Although it could still divide into two Tang Jies, one body refiner and one law cultivator, they were both avatars.

It sounded like just a different way of describing things, but in reality, they had both been strengthened to a whole new level, Tang Jie experiencing a huge boost in strength, spell arts, and his proficiency in using them.

At the same time, the Primal Infant finally evolved into a Primal Divinity. Like a child maturing into an adult, it was more experienced and looked at things from a different perspective.

That projection of the Primal Divinity opened its eyes, and the world immediately shuddered.

The Primal Divinity spoke: "Retreat!"

That lingering Heavenly Tribulation finally began to withdraw.

His will had usurped the will of the heavens, so the Heavenly Tribulation retreating at his call was nothing strange.

A moment later, the storm subsided, and the skies were so calm that it was like nothing had happened.

All that was left was Tang Jie, standing tall in the heavens.

The crowd was stunned at first, before someone finally shouted, "The ascension succeeded!"

Everyone came to their senses and began to shout, "The ascension succeeded!"

"Celestial Sovereign, congratulations, congratulations! After a hundred years of preparation, you succeeded in a single day."

"The Basking Moon Sect now has another Deification Celestial Sovereign."

Countless people offered their congratulations.

"The Basking Moon Sect really has been spoiled for talent recently. Within three hundred years, it's produced two Violet Palace experts. It seems like the Basking Moon Sect alone will dominate the Rosecloud Domain in the future," someone with ill intentions provocatively said.

"The six ancestors are still around, and it's only an additional Deification, far from enough to claim hegemony," a clear-headed Basking Moon disciple calmly replied.

Even so, the Zephyr Mountains were engulfed in cheers, for everyone believed that, with Tang Jie's current rate of progress, becoming an Earth Immortal wasn't out of the question, which would be the day the Basking Moon Sect truly ascended.

Of course, they didn't know that Tang Jie had no plans on waiting that long, and that the day of Yun Tianlan's breakthrough drew ever nearer. Although his helping Tang Jie had weakened the blessing of fortune, fortune was not the sole determinant of success. While protecting Tang Jie, Yun Tianlan had also absorbed the essence of the Heavenly Tribulations, allowing him to nudge aside a little more of that barrier to True Immortal, so much so that he realized that even without the protection of fortune for fifty-odd years, he could still break through within five years.

He told no one except Tang Jie of this news.

He let everyone keep their eyes on Tang Jie so that he could cultivate peacefully.

As all the cultivators cheered, those who were on good terms cheered with particular gusto and enthusiasm.

Cai Junyang, Qi Shaoming, Peng Yaolong, and the others rushed over, but when they got halfway, they suddenly remembered that Tang Jie was a Deification Celestial Sovereign, so going over in this manner might be too impolite. But as they were hesitating, Cai Junyang rushed up and gave Tang Jie a big hug, shouting, "I knew you would succeed!"

Tang Jie didn't put on any airs, hugging Cai Junyang back and saying, "And just when you are planning to make an attempt at Violet Palace?"

Cai Junyang immediately became embarrassed. "I'm still not ready yet."

The charge at Violet Palace was an extremely dangerous one, and even someone as strong as Cai Junyang had to carefully consider it. Moreover, he had yet to reach the peak of Soul Transformation and still had some preparations to do. As for chasing after Tang Jie, Cai Junyang had completely given up on that.

Before they could say more, another person flew up, pulled Cai Junyang aside, and gave Tang Jie a big hug. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝓮𝓌𝑒𝒷𝘯ℴ𝑣𝓮𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Cai Junyang was just about to get angry when he saw that it was Xu Miaoran.

There was nothing he could say about a husband and wife embracing, so he could only awkwardly stand to the side. The others also circled around and congratulated Tang Jie, but they were much humbler than Cai Junyang, not going up to hug him, which made everything seem a little more distant.

Tang Jie could only sigh. Status was a natural barrier, and even cultivators found it difficult to pierce through it.

He didn't plan to say much on this subject. There was a reason such things existed, and one just had to go with the flow.

After the great clamor came a great feast.

The Basking Moon Sect had held two such feasts in the last two hundred years, setting all of Rosecloud astir, and they were both because of Tang Jie.

As for the next feast, people expected it to be two years from now.

Because that was when Tang Jie would battle with the Jewel Immortal Sovereign.

Although there was still a gap between Tang Jie and Jewel, Tang Jie had already been able to block eleven of Jewel's fingers while at Soul Transformation. In two hundred years, he had risen two tiers, and the much stronger Tang Jie was no longer so helpless against Jewel.

Moreover, Tang Jie had already been able to defeat an Infant Tending expert while at Soul Transformation, creating an unprecedented miracle. Nobody thought it would be difficult for a Deification expert to beat a Soul Projection one. Thus, many people concluded that Tang Jie would probably create another miracle, and considering Tang Jie's hidden strength, it might not even be considered a miracle.

Thus, countless people toasted Tang Jie and flattered him in the hopes of earning his patronage.

No matter how cool and collected Tang Jie was, he couldn't escape from all this fawning.

Suddenly, Xiao Biehan's face turned dark, and he raised a wine jar and smashed it to the ground. "So fucking annoying!"

The Heaven Sword True Lord's sudden anger stunned everyone.

How had he been offended? Had he grown envious from seeing all those people flattering Tang Jie?

That was unlikely. Xiao Biehan had always praised Tang Jie, so he couldn't possibly be this petty, right?

Everyone speculated as to the cause.

Xiao Biehan strode over and said to Tang Jie, "Tang Jie, follow me!"

Ignoring everyone else, he flew off.

As he flew out, he snatched at a large mountain, upon which that mountain uprooted itself, transforming into the God-Conquering Merak Sword.

What… just what was he planning to do with this Dao armament?

Everyone began to panic.

Only Tang Jie remained unperturbed, saying with a smile, "My apologies; Martial Uncle is calling me, so I must take my leave."

Xu Miaoran nervously grabbed Tang Jie. "What is Martial Uncle Xiao going to do?"

Tang Jie smiled. "Don't be nervous. He's doing this for my own good."

Xu Miaoran turned pensive. She was a smart woman, and she had simply been momentarily overcome by her concern. She immediately realized what was happening and released her grip.

Tang Jie went over to Ling Xiao and said, "Master, Martial Uncle is calling me, so your disciple must go. Does Master have any advice?"

Ling Xiao answered, "Biehan has always been domineering in his actions, and nobody can compare to him in terms of aura. This is why you have to match his aura when fighting with him. You have to go all-out and attack, and if you falter, you should concede."

"Your disciple understands." Tang Jie flew off.

Everyone realized that Xiao Biehan really did intend to fight Tang Jie.

Some didn't understand why Xiao Biehan wanted to do this now, but the smarter ones reminded, "The Jewel Immortal Sovereign."

Someone blurted out in realization, "So you're saying…"

"It's a test. Martial Uncle Xiao is willing to use his own body to see if the Freedom Celestial Sovereign is ready," someone explained.

Far off on the horizon.

Xiao Biehan proudly stood in the air, his sword at the ready.

As he stood there, farther off in the distance, a crimson sun was setting.

Tang Jie flew over.

Xiao Biehan didn't look at him.

He loudly said, "I am very unhappy. Tang Jie, do you know why I'm unhappy?"

Tang Jie bowed. "This fearful disciple does not know. Martial Uncle, please enlighten me."

Xiao Biehan suddenly turned around. "I'm unhappy because of your arrogance! Tang Jie, do you really think that you can defeat a Soul Projection as a Deification just because you were able to defeat an Infant Tending at Soul Transformation? You think the gap between the latter was bigger, so you think you can pull off the former?"

Tang Jie lowered his head. "This disciple does not dare to think this way."

"You do!" Xiao Biehan bellowed. "That's exactly what you think. It's precisely because you think this that you made that two-hundred-year agreement with Jewel. In your view, so long as you could enter Deification, you had certain victory over Jewel. Hmph, the utter foolishness! Yes, I admit that you defeating an Infant Tending at Soul Transformation was an extraordinary feat, but that was because you cultivate the Martial Lord's arts, your body refining able to make up for your lack of spell arts, and you were also dealing with those incompetent clowns from the Verdant Cloud Domain, and you needed a whole host of tricks and traps. But now that you've entered Deification, has your body cultivation also followed and risen to the middle stage of the Immortal Spirit Body?"

These words woke Tang Jie up from his dream.

Tang Jie trembled.

Yes, to reach Deification, he had invested most of his time and resources into cultivating his arts. While had also tempered his Immortal Spirit Body somewhat, he had made little progress.

Without his body cultivation to make up for the vast gap in levels, how could he dare to challenge someone above him?

Yes, he had Dao Arts.

But the Jewel Immortal Sovereign was also a Celestial Sovereign!

She also had Dao Arts!

She might not have as many as Tang Jie, but they were definitely stronger and more profound, more difficult to deal with.

In these circumstances, just what made him so confident that he could win?

"Moreover, this isn't all that Jewel has," Xiao Biehan continued. "The Jewel Immortal Sovereign is the Helmsman of Horizon Ocean Pavilion and holds its Dao armament. She already knows a lot about you, both that you've entered Deification and that you've been able to defeat an Infant Tending expert while at Soul Transformation, so what do you think she will do? If I were her, I wouldn't hold back at all, instead using everything I had, including Horizon Ocean Pavilion's Dao armament."

These words had Tang Jie sweating. While his Weapon Mantra was much stronger now, it still couldn't shatter Dao armaments.

Xiao Biehan slowly raised the God-Conquering Merak Sword and pointed it at Tang Jie. "I've battled with the Jewel Immortal Sovereign once. After three days in battle, I was defeated, and she didn't even use a Dao Art.

"Tang Jie, since you want to fight Jewel, then you have to get through me first.

"I will attack with everything I have and give you a good beating so that you truly understand the difference between you and us.

"Watch my sword!"

A blinding wave of sword energy swept toward Tang Jie.
