Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch. 508 - Breakthrough to the Realm of the Two-Star Ancestral Gods
Two months later, Zhang En and Lie Hue finally arrived at the Sea Cloud World, then entered Spirit City and used the teleportation gate to the Sacred Tiger World and returned at the God Peak.
Not long after after the two of them returned, Zhang En's two senior brothers, Dong Fang and Hua Rong came to the Peak of Gods to congratulate Zhang En.
News of Zhang En's victory had already spread throughout the Star Galaxy. Dong Fang and Hua Rong had been waiting for Zhang En to return for a long time. They were both very happy for their Junior sister for winning the Pill King title in the term Alchemist Grandmaster Competition..
Dong Fang's face beamed as he said, “When that Wang Nio found out that you defeated Ming Zhi and won first place in the alchemy competition again, he smashed the cup in his hand and all the stuff around him. I heard he was mad until he almost vomited blood!”
Hua Rong also laughed, That “Patriark of the Fu Clan even destroyed his own residence after hearing the news. Worse still, he actually killed some of his clan guards out of anger!”
Zhang En laughed out loud, "It's even better if the cheating spouse is angry to death that we shouldn't feel disgusted to see them again!"
"HAHAHAAA" The three laughed out loud.
“Sadly Giru is still in seclusion. If he finds out that you won first place in the Alchemist Grandmaster Competition, he will be very happy!”
Zhang En nodded in agreement.
During their conversation, Zhang En asked from regarding the latest news in the sect during his departure.
Dong Fang shook his head, “Faction Elder Nio did not make any suspicious moves. However, he seems to be in close contact with the demon beast clan lately.”
"Klan demon beast!" Zhang En's eyebrows rose upon hearing this.
"Yes, one of the kings of the demon beast clan."
Hearing this, Zhang En eyes narrowed.
Recalling something, Zhang En immediately told him what had happened at the time when he was almost discovered by the gold-robed man at that time. Hearing this, both of them were stunned.
"If it's like this, it seems that Elder Nio is planning some dangerous scheme with the demon beast clan!" A sharp beam flickered in Dong Fang's eyes as he said this. If this was true, they should be more wary of Elder Nio's movements from now on.
The two elder brothers Zhang En left after spending some time at the Peak of Gods. Before they left, Zhang En gave each of them a hundred god-class holy pills.
After which, Zhang En entered the God Palace. Before entering seclusion, he gave pills to help cultivate all of his clan members to increase their strength as well.
The days went on as usual. Unknowingly, four years have passed.
In these four years, Zhang En remained at the Peak of Gods, focusing on absorbing the God Stone and the Buddha Crystal. With these two items, Zhang En's strength increased tremendously, feeling the difference day by day.
The Buddhist energy left within the Buddha Crystal had been completely absorbed by Zhang En within these four years, pushing his cultivation to the peak of the late-stage One Star Ancestral God Realm.
The speed of his cultivation even made his two senior brothers who occasionally stopped by to visit Zhang En, sigh in envy.
All the important members of the Zhang clan including Lie Hue had also increased drastically within these four years. They had all entered the realm of the Semi Realm God Emperor and entered the realm of the Realm of the True God Emperor Divine Realm. While Lie Hue's cultivation progress was the most shocking, he had broken through to the realm of the Three Star Divine Emperor Realm intermediate stage.
After trying, Zhang En did find some clues about one of the Divine Flames - the Ancient God Flame.
Ancient God Flame \= Fire Ancient God
However, the clues to where the fire was located were still too vague and the area coverage was too large.
However, determining the direction or world where the Ancient God Flame existed could be easier said than done…
In the blink of an eye, another ten years passed.
After spending ten years combing through all the old records he could find, Zhang En finally narrowed down the possible location of the Ancient God Flame in several different adjacent worlds in the Underworld Realm.
During these ten years, after Zhang En absorbed the God Stone and the Buddha Crystal and continued to increase his cultivation. Also all the members of his clan, experienced a huge leap in their cultivation.
For the time being, Zhang Ej was in no hurry to search for the Ancient God Flame.
Zhang En continued to spend his days cultivating with his friends at the Peak of Gods, and very rarely went out and found out anything that happened in the outside world.
Time keeps passing.
One month, one month, half a year, one year, two years and finally another six years had passed..
Zhang En was currently sitting in a lotus position in the middle of the Golden God Pagoda as Buddhist energy surged out from the Buddha Formation, enveloping him in a cocoon of light that shone brightly.
The pure god power also flowed out from the God Stone that floated in front of Zhang En.
Suddenly, the light that enveloped Zhang En quickly expanded. It was as if countless golden rings were bursting out from his body, one after another, akin to Buddhist halos. However, at the same time, Zhang En's body also released the aura of the Demon God Dragon from the Demon Realm.
The power of the Buddha and the Devil is in one body.
The golden Buddha and Demon Dragon shadows flickered in and out of his body around Zhang En as the glowing ring grew larger and larger.
From afar, the surroundings around Zhang En had turned into a small universe of Buddhas and Devils. The benevolent Buddha on the left, the wrathful Demon God Dragon on the right; giving birth to each other's existences, coexisting harmoniously.
Suddenly, the small universe trembled violently. Zhang En's body trembled as the sounds of successive eruptions resounded in his small universe. Not long after, the eruption finally stopped.
The golden ring slowly disappeared, the golden Buddha and the shadow of the Demonic God Dragon dimmed.
An incredible joy shone from Zhang En's eyes when he opened his eyes, he finally broke through to the early stage Two Star Ancestral God Realm.
For normal cultivators, they could only break through one star at the earliest for hundreds of years and there were even those stuck around the same age of living in that realm.
Zhang En would now feel he would be able to increase his cultivation to the realm of the Heavenly God Realm. All along, he had felt that it was almost impossible for him to reach the Heavenly God Realm before the start of the God Battle Tournament and something that could barely be grasped in the palm of his hand. But now, he could see that his desire to join the battle in the God Battle Tournament was one step away from realizing in the future.
