After recovering all the power and memories of the Divine Tree, Fu Young had been unable to distinguish for a time whether he was supposed to be the Supreme Star Lord or Fu Young. Fortunately, the memories he had made with his Master helped him rediscover himself.
Setting those matters aside, the most important point was that as the power of the Divine Osmanthus Tree within his bloodline grew stronger, his own cultivation had also begun advancing rapidly and involuntarily for reasons he could not explain.
By the time he had recovered all the power of the Divine Osmanthus Tree in the Myriad Gods Realm, his cultivation had already reached the peak of the sixth turn of the Deity Transformation Stage. He was only a step away from entering the seventh turn.
Moreover, perhaps because the Divine Osmanthus Tree had occupied the entire Myriad Gods Realm, causing the realm to stop relying on its realm stone and instead depend on the power of the tree’s branches to grow, his breakthrough into a major cultivation realm had not attracted the Heavenly Dao or brought down a heavenly tribulation.
However, the Divine Osmanthus Tree had not occupied this Spirit Realm. So why had the heavenly tribulation still not descended, even after he had been in the Mystic Jade Realm for some time?
Prompted by Xiao Shou, Fu Young finally noticed this strange situation. Filled with doubt, he simply released his extraordinarily vast divine sense, which had grown immensely after he recovered the power of the Divine Osmanthus Tree’s branch and all the power within the Myriad Gods Realm, and extended it in every direction.
Unfortunately, he still could not detect any sign of an impending heavenly tribulation.
"How strange! Could a heavenly tribulation actually be delayed?"
Xiao Shou, who likewise could not sense any signs of a heavenly tribulation gathering, looked at his beloved disciple in confusion, unsure what to do. Master and disciple silently looked at each other.
Fu Young had no idea what was happening either, so he simply said, "Then let’s wait a little longer. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that we didn’t ascend to the Spirit Realm according to the usual rules."
"Mm! I wonder how Great-Granduncle Shanhe is doing."
Xiao Shou nodded as he spoke, then raised his head and looked toward a particular patch of white clouds in the sky.
While Xiao Shou and his beloved disciple were talking, Gou Guangyan and Gou Guangyue were comforting the sect’s disciples, while the Water Qilin was calming the various demonic beasts.
More than fifteen minutes passed before a blue figure suddenly shot across the sky once again. Even when viewed from the ground, its speed was faster than a shooting star.
The blue figure showed no intention of being discreet. The moment it arrived, it hovered directly above the Heaven Origin Realm.
With a slight movement of his hand, an enormous palm formed from condensed spiritual energy suddenly appeared out of thin air. After grabbing the Azure Frost Mountain Range, where the Azure Frost Sect was located, the enormous hand continued moving, taking away the Boundless Sea and even the water veins of the great rivers in the Heaven Origin Realm.
Only then did the newcomer speak in an arrogant, lofty tone, showing no regard for anyone else.
"Fellow Daoists of the Falling Star Gate, Yun Zixuan of the Azure Frost Sanctuary has come to receive the branch disciples of our sect. Farewell."
After saying this, he did not pause for even a moment, nor did he pay any attention to the reactions of the Falling Star Gate cultivators. He simply grasped the Azure Frost Mountain Range, drew it into his palm, and turned to leave without a trace.
The cultivators of the Heaven Origin Realm were left utterly dumbfounded.
Xiao Shou blinked in disbelief before turning to his beloved disciple.
"Young’er, he just casually reached out and took away the entire Azure Frost Mountain Range. That’s incredible!"
"It’s nothing impressive. It’s just a mountain range. Master, don’t think too highly of them."
After all, he was far more impressive. He had traveled around with an entire Small Thousand Realm in tow!
Seeing Xiao Shou praise that man named Yun Zixuan, Fu Young immediately felt dissatisfied.
Listening to his beloved disciple’s tone, Xiao Shou finally remembered that the person he was embracing was an extraordinary powerhouse who had carried an entire Small Thousand Realm through the passage connecting the upper and lower realms for twelve days, enduring its immense pressure.
Compared with the mighty cultivator who had effortlessly taken away an enormous mountain range, his beloved disciple was still the more impressive one.
Feeling happy about Fu Young’s strength, Xiao Shou praised him.
"Mm, mm! You’re still the most impressive. But that person just now... How should I put it? He gives me the feeling that..."
"He’s overbearing and doesn’t take the Falling Star Gate seriously."
How could Fu Young fail to understand what his Master was thinking? He immediately supplied the words Xiao Shou had been searching for before continuing.
"Someone who behaves like that must either be stronger than that Falling Star Gate cultivator, or the Azure Frost Sanctuary in this realm must be stronger than the Falling Star Gate. In short, at least one of those things must be true, and possibly both. Otherwise, the Falling Star Gate cultivators wouldn’t have dared do nothing but swallow their anger."
It was almost as if his judgment had been proven correct.
High above the clouds, Tushan Shanhe had been conversing with the bearded man for some time. Seeing the man’s unpleasant expression, he tentatively asked, "Fellow Daoist Shen, that person just now had an unfathomable cultivation. Could he have been an elder of the Azure Frost Sanctuary? Even if he was an elder, his behavior showed far too little regard for the Falling Star Gate. Is there some history between your sects that I should know about?"
"Sigh! My Falling Star Gate cannot possibly compare with the Azure Frost Sanctuary, so there’s no need for you to feel indignant on our behalf, Fellow Daoist Tushan. In the Mystic Jade Realm, the Azure Frost Sanctuary is a top-tier sect, while my Falling Star Gate is merely a second-rate sect. The difference between us is simply too great. Besides, Elder Yun Zixuan is no ordinary person. He is the current wielder of the Heavenfall Immortal Sword and one of the Azure Frost Sanctuary’s Two Immortals. His future in the Immortal Dao is limitless. It’s only natural that someone like him would pay little attention to ordinary people."
