In the end, Zhang En scanned his soul. In the past, the sea of his soul was only an endless vast ocean, but now, the five metallic elemental lands, wood, water, fire, and earth appeared above the land of the five elemental sea of his soul.
Of those five land elements, the five aura elements resonated with each other, circling around, forming a protective barrier.
A bold confidence rose from Zhang En's heart that if he were to fight Zhao Chen once more, with just the raw strength of both hands, he was able to tear Zhao Chen in half. This feeling was born out of a belief in his own strength.
Zhang En was very satisfied to see his muscles seemed to be beautifully sculpted which was close to perfection. Zhang En nodded in satisfaction, after breaking through the God Hermit Realm, the 'Smeals' below him seemed to have grown bigger as well.
*_^
A while later, Zhang En took out a light blue robe from his spatial ring and put it on. Not long after, Zhang En walked out of the God Mountain Temple.
When he walked into the large hall, Chairman Xin Long and Elder Chao, Shu Fai, as well as Grand Elder Zhang Fu and Sect Elder were there.
"Teacher. What are you guys talking about that looks so excited?" Zhang En asked with a smile.
“Nothing. You just came out of closed cultivation!” Seeing Zhang En appear, excitement filled Elder Chao's face as he stood up, as did everyone else.
"Young Master!" All the Elders stepped forward to pay their respects.
Zhang En nodded then sat down between their chairs.
“Did you really kill that Elder of the Black Crow Sect Ao Baixue?” Everyone sat down, Chairman Xin Long could not help his curiosity anymore, directly asking Zhang En. This matter had spread far and wide, not only in the Ming Empire, but almost all of the empires present in the Snow Wind Continent were discussing this matter.
Hearing Chairman Xin Long ask an important question, all eyes in the hall turned to look at Zhang En. They all knew that when Zhang En first returned, there was the gigantic ghost of Feng Yang by his side, could it be that Zhang En and Feng Yang killed Ao Baixue together? Thought they were all.
Looking at the expressions around him, Zhang En smiled, "I killed him." Zhang En's words clearly confirmed the rumors that were circulating outside.
Shu Fai interrupted with enthusiastic excitement, “Senior Brother, now that all the kingdoms in the Snow Wind Continent are talking about this, you have become the most famous legendary figure of the Snow Wind Continent! Even surpassing our Ming Emperor!"
"The most legendary figure?" Zhang En chuckled faintly hearing this term.
“More, rumors outside say you've reached Five-Star Swordsman?” Elder Xhao asked. Even though he was Master Zhang En, like everyone else, he found it hard to believe that Zhang En had reached such heights in cultivation with a very young age.
Due to the uniqueness of Zhang En's cultivation technique, his aura traces hid his cultivation level, not even all of the Sect Elders were able to determine Zhang En's true strength.
Zhang En shook his head, "I just broke through today."
"Breaked!"
They all gasped in surprise, and then joy appeared on everyone's faces.
"Son, are you now half a step forward of the God ascetic realm?" Chairman Xin Long tried to determine with hope in his voice.
Zhang En could only smile bitterly in his heart, in front of everyone's eyes, Zhang En stopped hiding his aura. The power released surged like a tsunami and shook the sky.
Zhang En's aura spread like an endless sea wave, rolling over and splashing, drowning everything.
Everyone in the large hall was choked by that roaring pressure. Chairman Xin Long and Elder Chao were both surprised, though, they quickly projected their own battle Qi to throw a protective barrier towards everyone within the hall so that they would not be too affected.
"Whoever God!" At the same time, Chairman Xin Long and Elder Chao exclaimed in unison.
The cries of Chairman Xin Long and Elder Chao echoed in the ears of all the Elders and the others, making their backs shiver. Eyes widened for a second then stared at Zhang En as their minds recorded the meaning of the two words.
"Participant, ascetic God?!!!"
The roaring Qi pressure only lasted a second before receding even faster, re-assembling into Zhang En's body. The atmosphere within the hall was calm as before, causing everyone to feel like the split-second pressure they were experiencing just now was just an illusion.
Just as Zhang En was pulling his aura, in the secret room of Yao Manor, Yao Chen suddenly opened his eyes. In the instant he appeared far above Yao Manor, his wary-looking eyes scanned in all directions.
“Any, I actually feel the aura of the God Hermit right now, how could it disappear without a trace?” Yao Chen muttered to himself. “That aura does not belong at all to these Imperial Sect Chiefs or some of those old men. Could it be that some other unknown God Hermit experts have come in this Imperial City?"
At the moment Yao Chen was looking at the situation above Yao Manor, at the same time in the Ming Imperial Palace, Emperor Zhu flew up the Palace performing exactly the same action as that performed by Yao Chen who scanned the area around him with his spiritual senses, but like Yao Chen, it was fruitless. In the end, Emperor Zhu flew back to the palace with a confused feeling.
•••
At this moment, Chairman Xin Long and Elder Chao, and all of the Sect Elders present finally recovered from their shock, each of them feeling pleased and excited. Chairman Xin Long declared to hold a celebration party for three days and three nights.
Zhang En smiled, approving the enthusiasm of his Master Chairman Xin Long.
However, Zhang En warned all of them not to reveal the fact that he had broken through to the early God Hermit realm. Zhang En chose not to reveal his strength outside.
In the next few days, Zhang En continued to do his training moves. The Golden spear technique contained a total of nine moves, and even Zhang En felt tense to display the last three moves beforehand. Now, after entering the realm of the God Hermit, his movements were much smoother and the weight of his attacks grew stronger.
Zhang En stood in the middle of his residence courtyard holding a stick in his hand while fiddling with it back and forth. This royal scepter was one of the items he had taken from under the hidden cave lake in the Tiger Valley.
Sometimes, he would pull out the stick to study, hoping to find a clue from it. His feeling was that this stick held a secret, only that he had not found any results.
