Chu Zhiyuan was completely unaware of all this. Although he could perceive a range of three thousand meters, he didn't release his extrasensory perception.
All his mental energy was focused on cultivating the Kunlun Visualization Diagram.
When he felt tired from practicing and a sense of aversion arose, he would practice with his sword to relax for a while.
The Meridian Cleansing Art circulated ceaselessly, and the Thunderclap Sword already had eight meridians, progressing extremely quickly.
With eight meridians, the Thunderclap Sword's speed and power increased by another thirty percent.
From a picture, it transformed into a real mountain.
The Kunlun Mountain of myths and legends seemed to enter reality.
The profoundness and magnificence of Kunlun Mountain gradually emerged in his mind and surged within his body.
Chu Zhiyuan inexplicably knew that this aura was the foundation.
His spirit lifted, and seeing hope, he began to cultivate the visualization method tirelessly.
The Heaven Origin Art and Earth Origin Art replenished his essence, energy, and spirit, and he also used the Spirit Communication Talisman, letting the Everlasting Spirit Tree lend him a hand.
He had already forgotten about time.
In his tireless and relentless practice, three days had already passed.
For three days, there was no movement.
The news that Chu Qingyan and three Grandmasters were stationed in the Qing Prince's Mansion also spread.
This was intentional on his part.
Those Grandmasters of the evil sects weren't afraid of death, but they still pursued a certain success rate.
Dying in vain wasn't worth it.
At least they had to wait until the four Grandmasters had left before launching a more effective assassination.
Li Hongzhao felt increasingly that this news was unusual.
She couldn't help but go to the Bright Moon Tower and look out from its heights.
Although she couldn't see the situation of the Qing Prince's Mansion, she could still see a general outline.
Su Qiuyan was still reading a book, and seeing her like this, she didn't bother to say much.
As the aura of the mountain rhyme became more and more intense, changes gradually occurred before his eyes.
A thick fog appeared before him, and a gate faintly emerged within the fog.
Chu Zhiyuan's spirit lifted again.
This should be the Gate of the Grandmaster.
He continued to visualize, continued to condense the mountain rhyme aura, and then the thick fog slowly dissipated.
Another two days passed, and the thick fog dispersed.
A pitch-black, iron-like gate clearly appeared, located where his jade pillow was.
All the Gang Qi poured towards this gate.
Under the constant impact of the Gang Qi, the gate's color gradually faded, until it turned white, then transparent, and then it collapsed with a bang.
At the moment of its dissipation, it released a great light.
The滔滔不绝Gang Qi instantly changed.
His mind and Gang Qi further merged, as if completely becoming one.
The Gang Qi had already transformed into spiritual energy.
A great light shone before his eyes, and then he discovered a golden tower appearing at the center of his brows.
Three inches from the center of his brows, looking inward, a nine-story golden tower shone brightly.
Above the Qing Prince's Mansion, dark clouds rapidly surged over.
One moment it was clear and cloudless, and the next moment dark clouds had gathered into a dark giant umbrella, covering the Qing Prince's Mansion.
This strange phenomenon immediately attracted people's attention.
"?"
"What's going on?"
"Strange, strange, where is that?"
"Over by Wangfu Street, right? Which Prince's Mansion is it?"
"It seems to be the Qing Prince's Mansion!"
"Yes, the Qing Prince's Mansion!"
On the Bright Moon Tower, Li Hongzhao was leaning against the window, looking in the direction of the Qing Prince's Mansion.
She clearly saw this celestial phenomenon and quickly beckoned, "Mr. Su! Mr. Su!"
Su Qiuyan put down her book, got up, and came to her side. Seeing this phenomenon, her expression slightly changed.
"This is a sign of a Grandmaster, right?" Li Hongzhao stared at that side with a complex expression, sighing.
Su Qiuyan nodded lightly, "He's about to step into the Grandmaster realm."
"He really can become a Grandmaster..." Li Hongzhao said faintly.
Su Qiuyan said, "This was originally to be expected, knowing he could enter, but I didn't expect it to be so fast!"
The difficulty between Grandmaster and Master is vastly different, but in Chu Zhiyuan's case, it seems there is no difference.
There's really nothing to say about this.
"Grandmaster, ah..." Li Hongzhao sighed.
Su Qiuyan remained silent.
"Boom!"
"Boom boom boom...!"
Among the dark clouds, thunder suddenly sounded.
First it came from afar, as if from the distant horizon, getting closer and closer.
"Boom boom boom!"
Lightning flashed within the dark clouds, streaks of silver whips lashing at the clouds.
Outside the Qing Prince's Mansion, the sky was clear and cloudless.
The surrounding people discussed animatedly, some going to wine shops to watch, others running nearby to see.
For miles around the Prince's Mansion, all looked up to watch, extremely curious, and discussed among themselves.
Song Feiqiong achieved Grandmaster status at night, and people were sleeping, only finding the thunder strange, and didn't see this celestial phenomenon with their own eyes.
But now it was morning, and the sky was clear for thousands of miles, so everyone could see it clearly.
"This is—"
"A Grandmaster, right?"
"Is Fourth Young Master breaking through to Grandmaster?"
Chu Zhiyuan sat on the bed in Tingtao Courtyard, feeling the connection between his body and the heavens and earth becoming closer.
Inside and outside were completely integrated, he was the heavens and earth, and the heavens and earth were himself.
He knew this was an illusion, and only a temporary illusion, which would soon disappear.
The nine-story golden tower shone brightly, illuminating the acupoint between his eyebrows.
Faint wisps of white gas drilled into the golden tower and merged with it.
His mental power was condensed in the golden tower, driven by the golden tower.
And the golden tower was like an inverted funnel. When spiritual energy circulated through the heavens, it had to pass through this golden tower from top to bottom.
The spiritual energy would take away a part of his mental power, making the spiritual energy more pure.
If he wanted to make the spiritual energy circulate faster, become more pure, and advance his realm further, he had to break through this golden tower.
The golden tower was similar in shape to the previous jade and bronze towers, but far smaller than the jade and bronze towers.
But a sense of despair couldn't help but arise in his heart.
He inexplicably knew that it was impossible to break open this nine-story golden tower.
It was more solid and more immovable than the jade and bronze towers.
More importantly, with the condensation of mental power, it would become more and more solid, more and more indestructible.
The first heaven of the Grandmaster realm was already close to the pinnacle, and it was impossible to surpass it.
This was a dead end.
He slowly opened his eyes.
Half despair, half joy, without the ecstasy of breaking through to Master.
A small sword and twelve flying daggers simultaneously appeared above his head, trembling gently as if they had come alive.
At this time, manipulating them was easier, more effortless, and their power was even stronger.
Besides this, there didn't seem to be much change.
This was because he hadn't completely learned how to use his mental power.
The light of the golden tower slowly converged.
The dark clouds outside also gradually dissipated, and the thunder disappeared.
Everything just now seemed like an illusion.
Li Hongzhao remained motionless, staring at the celestial phenomenon like a statue until the sky returned to clear.
Su Qiuyan watched her quietly, without disturbing her.
After a cup of tea, the aura around Li Hongzhao suddenly surged, and her red silk robe billowed like a gale.
She slowly closed her eyes.
Su Qiuyan stared solemnly at the surroundings, guarding against anyone coming to disturb her.
After another cup of tea, the aura around Li Hongzhao surged again.
She slowly opened her eyes and sighed, "Master Consummation!"
Su Qiuyan smiled and clasped her fist, "Congratulations, Your Highness."
"All thanks to Chu Zhiyuan's efforts!" Li Hongzhao looked in the direction of the Qing Prince's Mansion.
It was both stimulated and inspired by seeing this celestial phenomenon.
The Phoenix Throat Nine Heavens Art advanced madly, pushing her cultivation to Master Consummation in one breath, at a speed that was unbelievable.
The news of the Fourth Young Master stepping into the Grandmaster realm swept through the entire Jade Capital City like a hurricane.
In almost an hour, everyone in the entire Jade Capital City knew the news.
