Chapter 888: Qin Shenwu Trying to Break Through to Mahayana Realm

[Congratulations to the host for achieving the feat of slaying a hundred Abyssal Demons. You have been awarded a Cultivation Advancement Bead.]
[Using the Cultivation Advancement Bead will elevate your cultivation by one realm on top of your current realm.]
[Note: The cultivation increase achieved through this method will not entail any hidden dangers.]
Jiang Chengxuan hadn’t expected the system to reward him with such an item.
A Cultivation Advancement Bead was unprecedented in his experience.
He pondered if waiting until reaching Dao Mastery before using the Cultivation Advancement Bead might allow him to break through to Mahayana Realm directly.
Or, if used after reaching Mahayana Realm, could it possibly advance him directly into an immortal?
If possible, then he would indeed need to use this Cultivation Advancement Bead at the most opportune moment.
Following this, Jiang Chengxuan and the others conducted a cleanup operation against the remaining Abyssal Demons.
Once all Abyssal Demons in the area were dealt with, this episode came to a temporary close.
In the years that followed, while the area they were guarding, the Xisha Grand Canyon, still saw some Abyssal Demon activity, the scale never matched the initial wave, possibly due to the demons recognizing the strength of the guardians there.
Thus, Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and their companions spent a century in this manner.
When they bade farewell to Sun Longxiang, Gao Baiyue, and the others and returned to the Haoran Sect, they suddenly received a piece of news from Sect Master Xue Ping.
Their Shifu, Qin Shenwu, had officially entered seclusion 30 years ago and begun to attempt to break through to Mahayana Realm.
This news was kept highly confidential, known only to Qin Shenwu’s direct disciples and senior sect leaders like Xue Ping.
After all, any cultivator who attempted to break through to Mahayana Realm would be considered a significant event.
With too many people aware of it, complications could arise, especially given the Haoran Sect’s external adversaries.
Jiang Chengxuan and the others were almost 100% certain that once the enemies of the Haoran Sect found out that Qin Shenwu was about to break through to Mahayana, they would definitely come to stop him.
So.
The Haoran Sect internally decided to keep the news of Qin Shenwu’s attempt to break through to the Mahayana Realm strictly confidential unless absolutely necessary.
While the final stages of Qin Shenwu’s breakthrough might inevitably reveal his qi due to the natural fluctuations associated with such a profound transition, delaying the spread of this information as long as possible was crucial.
Ideally, by the time others became aware of Qin Shenwu’s breakthrough attempt, he would have already succeeded.
The worst-case scenario would be if Qin Shenwu couldn’t suppress his aura during the middle or later stages of his breakthrough, making it known to outsiders.
This would significantly increase the pressure on those tasked with protecting him.
Nonetheless, the prospect of Qin Shenwu taking this step was eagerly anticipated by everyone in the Haoran Sect.
His success would elevate the Haoran Sect to the ranks of an overlord sect, a status not achieved in over a hundred thousand years.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were delighted by this and decided to assist in protecting Qin Shenwu until he emerged from seclusion.
Just like that.
Time passed day by day.
In the blink of an eye, thirty years had passed.
On a particular day, as Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were meditating, a surge of profound elemental qi erupted from Shenwu Peak, where Qin Shenwu was secluded.
Then, chains of rules began to appear in the world.
Jiang Chengxuan recognized it at a glance.
That was his Shifu, Qin Shenwu’s rule of the Five Elements.
“Shifu is reaching the final stage of his breakthrough,” Jiang Chengxuan exclaimed with joy.
Understanding the significance, Shen Ruyan was equally excited.
The final breakthrough stage meant Qin Shenwu was about to fully realize his Dao, entering the Mahayana Realm where creation and destruction of Dao were at his whim.
However, the commotion made hiding the event any longer improbable.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
In an instant, all Dao Integration cultivators within the sect, including Xue Ping and Yun Yizhen from the Thunderclap Valley, who had reached the Dao Mastery Realm, gathered, their expressions solemn as they watched over Shenwu Peak.
Xue Ping solemnly stated, “Everyone, Brother Qin is about to complete his Dao and achieve the Mahayana Realm. During this critical period, I ask you all to join me in safeguarding Brother Qin’s successful breakthrough.”
“Yes!”
Everyone immediately accepted the order.
At the same time.
Inside the Qiankun Hall, Daolord Southbright, the only Mahayana Daolord of the hall, suddenly set his sights through the layers of the void towards the direction of the Haoran Sect.
His brow furrowed instantly.
“Dao chains across the sky, rules locking the heavens, someone is about to break through to the Mahayana Realm.”
“Could it be that fellow Qin Shenwu? Judging by his condition, he might have started his breakthrough to the Mahayana Realm years ago.
This cannot happen. We cannot allow him to succeed. Not only would the Qiankun Hall face a tremendous threat, but seeking revenge against his two disciples would become incredibly difficult.”
With that thought, Daolord Southbright hesitated no more.
Transforming into a streak of light, he instantly appeared outside the mountain gate of the Five Elements Heavenly Sect.
Clearly.
The Five Elements Heavenly Sect had also noticed the unusual signs from the Haoran Sect, causing a mix of shock and unease among them.
No one understood better than them the implications if Qin Shenwu successfully advanced to the Mahayana Realm.
“I am Southbright from the Qiankun Hall. I request an audience with Sect Master Bai of your esteemed sect.”
At this moment, outside the Five Elements Heavenly Sect, Daolord Southbright, who had already arrived, shouted.
Hearing his call, Bai Ziliang, the sect master of the Five Elements Heavenly Sect, instantly reacted.
He had not expected Daolord Southbright, a cultivator of the Mahayana Realm, to personally visit their sect.
Could it be that Southbright’s visit was also related to Qin Shenwu’s attempt to break through to the Mahayana Realm?
Considering this possibility, Bai Ziliang no longer hesitated and promptly made his appearance before Daolord Southbright.
