Chapter Eighty-Four: Breaking Precedent

  Liu Qingyun and Wu Tiange pushed open the door, looking at the shocking pit in front of them, as well as Yang Yi sitting on a cushion, their eyes revealing an incredulous expression. The two exchanged a glance, both secretly shocked and uncertainly asked: "Brother Yang, was this the commotion you made just now?"

  Yang Yi nodded slightly and didn't hide it: "Just now I broke through, it's hard to restrain myself, so I made a bit of noise, but it surprised you guys."

  Yang Yi raised his eyes and swept a glance, but it wasn't just Liu Qingyun and Wu Tiange. A steady stream of cultivators poured in, and upon seeing the massive hole, they were all shocked and bewildered, secretly clicking their tongues.

  Liu Qingyun and Wu Tiange were very excited, shouting loudly: "What? Brother Yang, you've already broken through?"

  Yang's body relaxed slightly, and a terrifying pressure immediately spread over everyone, this was indeed the realm of Condensing Blood Fivefold.

  "Coagulation of the Five Elements, and such a huge commotion is stirred up just because of the Coagulation of the Five Elements. Could it be that an existence condensed from nine drops of essence has been formed? Is its power really this terrifying after breaking through?"

  All the cultivators were guessing that Yang Yi was the only one in tens of thousands of years who had condensed nine drops of essence blood at the fourth stage of Blood Condensation, and the miraculousness and power of the nine drops of essence blood had been forgotten for too long. The commotion was almost comparable to those Golden Elixir experts, and people couldn't imagine how a fifth-stage Blood Condensation cultivator could cause such a big stir, and it could only be attributed to the extraordinary place where the nine drops of essence blood were condensed.

  This matter eventually shocked those elders, and soon Yang Yi was summoned by the elder into the main hall.

  Lu Ming saw Yang Yi and couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile, saying: "Yang Yi, you really are surprising me. Just a few hours ago, I just promoted you not to be proud of it, and said that only when you reach the fifth level of Blood Condensation can you be considered a true genius. But now, after just a few hours, you've already broken through. This is really making things difficult for me. I did say that if you reached the fifth level of Blood Condensation, you could directly enter the Heavenly Palace. Originally, I thought it would take you two or three years, or even four or five years to break through. After all, nine drops of pure blood are just too difficult... Who would have thought..."

  Lu Ming certainly didn't expect that the Nine Drops of Essence Blood would be so difficult to break through, but then again, how could he have known that Yang Yi had a Refining Pill of this caliber? With such a pill, the chances of breaking through increased by who knows how many times.

  Jinglian Dan is not precious because of its rarity, but because of its danger. The Qiuwu Horn can be found in the fifth layer of the Deep Valley, and if a skilled alchemist were to go there, they would certainly be able to obtain it easily and refine the Jinglian Dan. However, this would 100% alert the more powerful demons below, as the Deep Valley is home to demons at the Jinxian Ninth Great Realm level. Therefore, almost no one would think that Yang Yi would have Jinglian Dan.

  This is also the fate of Yang Yi and Liu Qingyun, Liu Qingyun's refined pill has not been taken yet, and later when encountering a bottleneck, it can be relied upon to break through.

  Yang Yi said to Lu Ming: "Elder Lu, don't worry, I'm also like this in the underground palace."

  Lu Ming suddenly waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry, since I've said it, I'll naturally make it happen. Besides, you're such a genius, a rare talent that's hard to come by in tens of thousands of years. If I were to send you back to the Earth Palace now, wouldn't others look down on me and the Dragon Palace? Rules are made by humans, so they can also be changed by humans. You stay here for now, I'll go ask the palace master."

  Lu Ming's body flashed and disappeared, apparently to ask the palace master. Yang Yi silently stayed in the main hall, his heart also didn't know what thoughts were turning. The other elders also looked at Yang Yi, some nodded and showed appreciation, while others had no expression.

  In a place filled with thick fog everywhere, Lu Ming respectfully shouted into the fog: "Lu Ming of the Longevity Sect requests to see the Palace Master!"

  In the Huálóng Palace, apart from the nine Blood Condensation stage Elders and ordinary Elders of the ordinary disciples, there were also the Law Enforcement Elders who held real power. However, aside from these, there was another group of Elders known as the Elder Council. Most of the Elders in this council did not hold any real power and were directly supplemented by those disciples who had successfully cultivated their physical bodies. Although they didn't have any real power, they were still the backbone of the Huálóng Palace and no one dared to underestimate them.

  A faint voice came from the thick fog: "Lao Lu is so anxious to find me, what's the matter?"

  Lu Mingdao: "Palace Master, among this batch of talented disciples, an extremely talented individual has emerged. Not only did they condense nine drops of essence blood, but they also just broke through to the fifth stage of Blood Condensation."

  "What? Nine drops of pure blood, how is this possible?" The palace master also showed a shocked expression.

  "Not bad, it's true that this disciple is called Yang Yi, but he is currently in the Earth Palace. So Lu Ming came to ask the palace master to directly promote Yang Yi to the Heavenly Palace, no need to wait for the once-in-a-decade Genius Seizing Position Competition."

  Among these talented disciples in the Huálóng Palace, there is also competition. Every ten years, an internal, specially prepared for the four palaces of Tiān, Dì, Xuán and Huáng, will hold a championship to seize the position. As long as one can pass five levels and defeat six generals, challenge all competitors, then they will have the opportunity to enter higher palaces such as Tiān Palace or Dì Palace to cultivate, becoming a key object of cultivation in Huálóng Palace.

  So it doesn't matter if the starting point is low, but you must make rapid progress and stand out among your peers. Only by doing so can you enter a higher-level palace to cultivate, and Yang Yi is an exception, with no genius disciple having condensed four layers of blood and produced nine drops of essence in tens of thousands of years.

  After a long silence in the thick fog, a voice finally came out: "Since all the elders feel this way, let's bring Yang Yi to the Heavenly Palace. Such a talented disciple is indeed worth cultivating. However, every ten years, there will be a competition for the throne, and everyone must participate. If he is eventually eliminated, no one can show favoritism."

  Lu Ming hastily said: "That's natural, if Yang Yi could still be knocked off his horse by others, then there would be no need for the school to attach such importance to him."

  Lu Mingxin was confident and didn't joke around. A genius who condensed nine drops of essence couldn't even keep his position in the Tianyuan Palace, so what's the point of talking about being a genius?

  Yang Yi quietly stayed in the grand hall, his heart didn't have much anxiety about whether he could enter the Heavenly Palace. Even if he couldn't enter now, it would be okay to wait a few more years until the Seizing Position Competition began. With his strength, entering the Heavenly Palace would be effortless.

  "Whoosh"

  Lu Ming appeared in the grand hall, looking at Yang Yi's expressionless face, a faint smile playing on his lips. He felt that he had indeed not misjudged him initially and said calmly: "The Palace Master has already given the order, Yang Yi is an exception to enter the Heavenly Palace. Yang Yi, you must cultivate well from now on, otherwise, it would be unforgivable to the Palace Master's exception this time."

  Yang nodded slightly and said: "Thank you, Elder Lu, thank you, Palace Master!"

  Yang Yi naturally knew that this time he was able to enter the Heavenly Palace, and it was mostly still thanks to Lu Ming.
