Chapter 228

Chapter 228: Xiao Yang, do you wish to marry Jiang Ting?

In the main hall of Yuanwu.

To everyone’s shock, the Martial Saint of Guiyuan Martial Sect, Chu Wuyou, actually decided to attack Xiao Yang directly, disregarding his status.

Everyone in the hall was stunned by this scene.

Chu Wuyou really has no shame left.

A dignified Martial Saint actually laid hands on a waste. He must really have lost all self-respect.

The crowd looked at Chu Wuyou’s actions with disdain.

But Qin Fei was completely on edge.

His eyes were locked on Xiao Yang.

With Chu Wuyou attacking, Xiao Yang was as good as dead.

Xiao Yang had even self-destructed his dantian, losing all his cultivation.

In Qin Fei’s eyes, Xiao Yang was now nothing more than a useless husk.

Could Xiao Yang be hoping that someone like Chu Wuyou wouldn’t stoop to attack a waste?

If that were the case, Qin Fei would be sorely mistaken.

He could never have imagined that Xiao Yang was not only not a waste but had actually become far more powerful.

Xiao Yang’s Sacred Body had transformed into a Chaos Sacred Body.

The power of the Chaos Sacred Body was something even Xiao Yang didn’t fully understand yet.

Since leaving the Immortal Transformation Palace, he hadn’t had the chance to test out the fighting power of his Chaos Sacred Body.

Now, he finally had the opportunity.

Amidst the gasps of the crowd, Xiao Yang raised his fist and smashed it right at Chu Wuyou’s outstretched hand.

“…”

Everyone in the hall stared, jaws dropped in shock.

Is Xiao Yang crazy?

He actually dared to strike a Martial Saint.

Does he want to throw his life away?

Jiang Ting turned pale in fright.

Even Jiang Qitian was dumbfounded.

This rebellious disciple of his was simply courting death!

How dare he strike a Martial Saint!

“Hmph!”

Seeing Xiao Yang dare to punch him, Chu Wuyou sneered. His hand, which had been reaching for Xiao Yang, turned into a fist, ready to meet Xiao Yang’s attack.

“Bang!”

The two fists collided with a loud thud.

Jiang Ting couldn’t bear to look.

How could Xiao Yang possibly block Chu Wuyou’s punch?

The other disciples of the Qingyang Sword Sect also turned away, unable to witness the moment Xiao Yang got punched into oblivion.

“Haha, utterly foolish!”

“How dare he punch our ancestor? He’s asking for it.”

The members of the Guiyuan Martial Sect revelled in the misfortune, mocking him.

Because the gap between the two was just too immense.

Even from the perspective of those in the hall, Xiao Yang was clearly seeking death.

However, the next moment, an astonishing scene unfolded before everyone’s eyes.

They could hardly believe what they were seeing.

Not only did Xiao Yang not get killed by Chu Wuyou’s punch, he actually forced Chu Wuyou to stumble back a few steps.

“How is this possible…”

Everyone thought their eyes were deceiving them.

Xiao Yang sent Chu Wuyou flying back?

But Chu Wuyou was a true Martial Saint!

At that moment, Xiao Yang was surrounded by a faint ethereal glow, looking almost like a transcendent being, extraordinary and otherworldly.

“This…”

Everyone was left speechless.

How could this be possible?

Did Xiao Yang really obtain some incredible transformation in the Yuanwu Immortal Domain and become immortal?

It seemed impossible.

Over countless eons, many had taken first place in the Hexagram Competition.

Especially in the past millennium, even the Fuyiao Sword Sect produced plenty of swordsmanship prodigies who ranked first in the competition.

But never had anyone directly ascended to immortality after winning the competition.

That was absolutely impossible.

Moreover, Xiao Yang had self-destructed his dantian and was supposed to be a waste. How could he become immortal?

Yet, the fact that Xiao Yang forced Chu Wuyou back was witnessed by everyone in the hall.

That was undeniably real.

“It’s the Ascension Order…”

The Sect Leader of Guiyuan Martial Sect, Chu Zhenbei, suddenly exclaimed.

“What…”

Everyone in the hall was taken aback.

Could it really be that the Ascension Order was protecting Xiao Yang?

They had all seen Xiao Yang win the Hexagram Competition and receive the Ascension Order before climbing the Yuanwu Tower.

So the Ascension Order was with Xiao Yang.

Otherwise, Chu Wuyou wouldn’t be fixated on Xiao Yang, demanding he hand it over.

At this moment, Xiao Yang seemed like an immortal descending to the mortal realm, emanating a Daoist aura that left everyone dumbfounded.

“You…”

Chu Wuyou was both shocked and furious.

Above the Sacred Martial Realm lay the realm of Earthly Immortals.

Only someone at the Earthly Immortal level could easily defeat a Martial Saint.

However, the Northern Territory hadn’t seen an Earthly Immortal in a very long time.

Earthly Immortals had become a legend.

No one had ever seen an Earthly Immortal.

And if Xiao Yang could push him back with a single punch, did that mean he had gained the strength of an Earthly Immortal?

At this thought, Chu Wuyou’s expression changed drastically.

“Guiyuan Martial Sect, be exterminated!”

Xiao Yang extended his right hand, flipping it over, revealing a surge of sword light instantly appearing in his grasp.

“Boom!”

The next moment, the sword light exploded like a bubble.

Countless sharp and unmatched sword lights pierced through everyone from Guiyuan Martial Sect in the main hall.

“No…”

Chu Wuyou turned to flee, layers of Protective Gang Qi surged around him.

This was the Protective Gang Qi of the Holy Realm.

But the sword light piercing toward Chu Wuyou broke through his layers of protective barriers and instantaneously penetrated his body.

Even with his protective armor, it was useless.

The sword light was unstoppable, and Chu Wuyou’s body exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

Chu Zhenbei was also struck down by a sword light, and every disciple of Guiyuan Martial Sect present, except for Chu Guixi, was obliterated by the exploding sword energy, perishing instantly.

As everyone looked at the corpses strewn across the ground, they were utterly horrified.

With just one move, Xiao Yang had slaughtered all the disciples of the Guiyuan Martial Sect in the hall.

Even the Martial Saint of Guiyuan Martial Sect could not withstand Xiao Yang’s sword strike.

It was too powerful.

No one could have imagined that Xiao Yang would effortlessly eliminate a Martial Saint.

This was utterly unbelievable.

Had he really only tapped into the power of the Ascension Order to wipe out Guiyuan Martial Sect?

At that moment, Xiao Yang also felt that his state was somewhat abnormal.

It was as if he had been possessed, his body controlled by some kind of Daoist will.

The Daoist will was using Xiao Yang’s hand to obliterate these Guiyuan Martial Sect fellows.

If Xiao Yang hadn’t retained some control over himself, even Chu Guixi might have died under his sword energy.

Chu Guixi was terrified to the point of losing his mind.

“Are you not leaving yet? I can’t hold on much longer.”

Xiao Yang shouted at Chu Guixi.

Chu Guixi dashed toward the hall’s exit.

No one wanted to die.

Least of all Chu Guixi.

He hurriedly bolted from the Yuanwu main hall.

“Anyone who dares disrupt the rules of the Hexagram Competition shall die!”

Xiao Yang’s gaze swept over the crowd, and everyone lowered their heads.

At this moment, they finally snapped back to reality from their shock.

Within the hall, there were corpses scattered everywhere.

A heavy smell of blood filled the air.

Just moments ago, Chu Wuyou had been arrogantly pushing everyone around, even making the Fuyiao Sword Sect retreat, and now he had become a corpse.

The faces of the members of the Refining Sect and Dan Ding Sect changed dramatically.

Xiao Yang was making an example of them, and the people from Dan Ding Sect and Refining Sect dared not speak a word.

With Guiyuan Martial Sect nearly wiped out by Xiao Yang, having lost all but one disciple, how could Dan Ding Sect and Refining Sect dare act against the rules?

They had no choice but to accept reality.

“Senior Brother, what happened to you?”

Jiang Ting cautiously asked.

At this moment, Xiao Yang seemed like a different person.

Her intuition told her that something unbelievable had happened to him.

“Holy Son Brother…”

Lin Wangchuan called out carefully.

But Xiao Yang ignored him.

With a grim expression, he took out the Ascension Order.

Now, the Ascension Order seemed extraordinarily remarkable.

The Ascension Order was surrounded by ethereal light, its aura overwhelming.

The energy emanating from the Ascension Order was astonishingly similar to the energy surrounding Xiao Yang.

“Daoist will?”

The various Sect Leaders pieced together a possibility.

Otherwise, how could Xiao Yang wipe out all the Guiyuan Martial Sect disciples in a single strike?

“How is this possible…”

Everyone looked on in disbelief at the scene unfolding.

“Jiang Qitian, come forward to receive the Ascension Order!”

Xiao Yang gripped the Ascension Order, coldly gazing at Jiang Qitian.

Jiang Qitian was stunned with a mix of surprise and joy.

He hurriedly stepped forward, kneeling on one knee before Xiao Yang, lifting his hands cautiously to accept the Ascension Order.

The moment Jiang Qitian took hold of the Ascension Order, Xiao Yang swayed, and the ethereal glow surrounding him disappeared.

It was as if he had transformed from an immortal back into an ordinary person.

Meanwhile, Jiang Qitian, holding the Ascension Order, basked in its celestial light, his cultivation skyrocketing, quickly breaking through to the peak of the Divine Martial Realm, then stepping up another level.

In just an instant, Jiang Qitian’s cultivation reached the Half Saint realm.

He was absolutely ecstatic.

“Haha…”

He stood up, raising the Ascension Order high above his head, unable to contain his laughter.

So exhilarating!

“Congratulations, Sect Leader Jiang…”

All the sect leaders in the hall hurriedly bowed to Jiang Qitian.

At that moment, Jiang Qitian was overjoyed beyond belief.

He never imagined Xiao Yang would actually win first place in the Hexagram Competition.

Thanks to Xiao Yang, the Qingyang Sword Sect had claimed the title of the number one sect in the Northern Territory.

For the next sixty years, an entire hexagram cycle, the entire Yuanwu Immortal Domain would be under the control of the Qingyang Sword Sect.

All the cultivation resources within the Yuanwu Immortal Domain belonged to Qingyang Sword Sect.

Jiang Qitian, clutching the Ascension Order, step by step ascended to the main throne in the center of the hall, then turned to sit down, looking down at everyone below.

Xiao Yang had regained control of his body.

The Daoist will truly was frightening; it had managed to control him.

Of course, had it not been for the intervention of the Daoist will, he probably would have already died under Chu Wuyou’s punch.

“Xiao Yang, you’ve achieved great merit for our sect. Though you are now a waste, I know you like Jiang Ting. How about this: I will marry her to you!”

Jiang Qitian held the Ascension Order, excitement bubbling inside him. Xiao Yang had worked so hard for the sect, even self-destructing his dantian to claim victory, he deserved compensation for such sacrifice.

“Xiao Yang, do you wish to marry Jiang Ting?”

Seeing Xiao Yang silent, Jiang Qitian asked again.

Everyone turned to look at Xiao Yang.

“This…”

But Qin Fei was anything but calm.
