Over the Imperial Capital Ba Yang City, rainbows constantly surged towards the sky, some extinguishing, others becoming even more dazzling.

Some were overjoyed, while others were distressed.

As time went by, the number of rainbows rising became more frequent, while the extinguished ones grew fewer.

Ever since the Strong Clan Huo Family was exterminated, this phenomenon has become common in the Imperial Capital and elsewhere in the Celestial Crossing Realm.

With part of the suppressing force disappearing, martial artists of Celestial Crossing Realm could finally break through to the Guiyi Realm.

Whether in the ninth level of Cloud Sea Realm or cultivators of Ninth Heaven, they began to attempt breaking through to Guiyi Realm.

Initially, there were many failures, and deaths were not uncommon, but as time progressed,

martial artists gradually grasped the essential techniques, and the probability of successful breakthroughs increased.

Especially the strong clans and royal families in the Imperial Capital, due to their deep foundations, their successful martial artists surpassed those of loose cultivators and smaller powers,

as Guiyi Realm martial artists emerged, some who broke through by sheer luck attempted to attack the strong clans during this window of opportunity.

But often they returned defeated.

The foundation of strong clans isn't something you can shake just by a few breaking through to Guiyi Realm.

On the fourth day after the Huo Family's extermination, Luz Daochang, the supreme sect leader of the Ancestor Sect, broke through to Guiyi Realm.

On the day he broke through, a pillar of light soared to the heavens, seemingly replacing the sun, while all beings became like stars.

On the fifth day after the Huo Family's extermination, within the Imperial Palace, nine true dragons formed a column of light shooting towards the sky.

The majestic Dragon Qi seemed like the ruler of the world.

The Qin Kingdom ruler, Ji Shen Technique, broke through Guiyi Realm with the ninth level Dragon Qi Cloud Sea.

The explosive might even surpassed that of Luz Daochang.

Not just them, almost everyone capable of breaking through to Guiyi Realm did so intensely at this moment,

even within the Ancestor Sect, a surge of breakthroughs arose.

Those true disciples defeated by Chu Nan couldn't suppress their desire to break through and chose to achieve Guiyi.

As the oppressive force of the Celestial Crossing Realm had just vanished, and martial artists of Guiyi Realm seemed almost ubiquitous in the Imperial Capital.

Some individuals' gaze gradually focused on Chu Nan within the Ancestor Sect.

Sword slashing Ninth Heaven, the instigator of the Huo Family's destruction, transforming from an obscure disciple of Qingshan County to one of the most terrifying existences in Celestial Crossing Realm in less than three years,

the twenty-year-old peak of the Ninth Heaven, Chu Nan, the strongest prodigy since the division of the two realms.

Seven days have passed since the suppressive force disappeared, why hasn't he achieved Guiyi?

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but pay attention to Chu Nan.

After the division of realms, the first prodigy, how formidable will he become upon achieving Guiyi?

However, seven days have passed, yet the Ancestor Sect has not shown a rainbow belonging to Chu Nan.

This inevitably raises more anticipation among people.

It took seven days to break through Guiyi Realm, how strong will Chu Nan's Guiyi ultimately be?

However, surprisingly for everyone, on the eighth day, someone spotted Chu Nan within the Ancestor Sect.

He hadn't crossed into Guiyi Realm as people speculated.

Chu Nan's aura was still in Cloud Sea!

This change immediately caused many martial artists' minds to puzzle, leaving them quite puzzled.

Even Emperor Qin and Luz Daochang broke through to Guiyi Realm, why hasn't Chu Nan advanced in cultivation?

"Strange, strange, with Chu Nan's talent, breaking through Guiyi Realm shouldn't be an issue."

"Could it be because Chu Nan has built too solid a foundation, so he can't break through?"

"Perhaps it's not like that, Chu Nan must have paid an unimaginable price to possess such terrifying combat power in such a short time."

"Maybe he sacrificed his ability to step into Guiyi Realm, in order to become so formidable in such a short time."

"Indeed, that's likely, there are many such examples in lower realm history, relying on external forces to forcibly enhance cultivation."

"Before the suppressive force disappeared, doing this had no impact on Chu Nan, as Celestial Crossing Realm couldn't break through to Guiyi Realm, whether future or not didn't matter."

"Now it's different, martial artists can break through Guiyi, which means Chu Nan's future is truly cut off!"

This sort of discussion suddenly started within the Ancestor Sect and the Imperial Capital, they all believed Chu Nan used special secret techniques to become so powerful.

But now, due to the influence of his secret technique, Chu Nan cannot break through to Guiyi.

His myth and legend will be completely severed!

Moreover, as news of Chu Nan unable to break through Guiyi Realm began to spread in the Imperial Capital,

another voice also began to circulate within the Ancestor Sect, propelled by those with ulterior motives.

"The Supreme Treasure Spirit Martial True Martial Saint Day is originally the treasure of our Ancestor Sect, Chu Nan was exceptionally talented in the past, obtaining this Spirit Martial was understandable."

"But now he can't break through to Guiyi Realm, how can the Supreme Spirit Martial be held in darkness?"

"You're right, Supreme Spirit Martial should belong to Guiyi Realm martial artists, Chu Nan should return it to the True Martial Holy Hall!"

"Along with the other two Supreme Spirit Martials, he is the True Martial Elder of the Ancestor Sect, so his belongings are the Ancestor Sect's belongings!"

"Chu Nan should surrender all treasures, unable to break through Guiyi Realm, he no longer qualifies to hold them."

...

The sleeping Guiyi Realm martial artists hadn't awakened, yet those just broke through Guiyi Realm had already set their sights on the supreme treasure in Chu Nan's hands.

Not yet stepped into Guiyi Realm, Chu Nan in their eyes was no longer a strong presence in the Imperial Capital, but a diamond every person desired a piece of.

Some couldn't help but take action, perhaps fearing others would act before them, or worrying about Chu Nan breaking through Guiyi Realm.

The Strong Clan Zhou Family, one of the original controllers of the True Martial Pavilion, serial true disciple Zhou Yuansheng sought the house Luz Daochang built for Chu Nan, the Zhenwu Tower.

Perhaps supported by the Zhou Family behind him, or perhaps driven by greed.

Zhou Yuansheng also bore a grudge against Chu Nan for taking his True Martial Pavilion, causing him to miss out on legacy.

Zhou Yuansheng originally thought he'd never have a chance for revenge.

Unexpectedly, the situation changed so swiftly, as Chu Nan's prestigious power reached its peak, the world underwent a dramatic change.

The nearly ten-thousand-year-old seal was lifted, martial artists could break through to Guiyi Realm.

And most intriguingly, the former number one prodigy Chu Nan didn't break through Guiyi Realm at this critical juncture.

This immediately presented an opportunity for everyone.

Thus Zhou Yuansheng, without hesitation, broke through Guiyi Realm, stepping into a brand new domain.

An unprecedented strength excited Zhou Yuansheng immensely.

At this moment, he swelled with ambition, vowing to find Chu Nan to seize the True Martial Holy Hall, bring it back to the Zhou Family, and rise to a new pinnacle.

As long as he obtained the True Martial Holy Hall, Zhou Yuansheng believed he could, like Chu Nan, make legends of his own.

Become a powerful figure feared and respected by all.

With his entourage, he strode before the Zhenwu Tower and shouted fiercely: "Chu Nan, a new era has begun."

"Ninth Heaven realm is destined to be eliminated, and you no longer have the qualification to wield the Supreme Spirit Martial."

"Surrender the True Martial Holy Hall, and I may spare your life!"
