Chapter 656: Chapter 656 – Half-Step Heavenly Venerate
Yue Ming looked at Yue Hua, and his heart was filled with emotion.
He seemed to recall that time. He had seen Yue Hua in the mountain village and accepted him as a disciple back then. Now that he thought about it, this was probably the wisest decision he had ever made in his life. In the blink of an eye, the child from back then had grown up to what he was now. It was time for him to let go.
He pondered and then continued, “I have an old relationship with an elder of the Hao Hua Sect. I used to have dealings with him. Now that you can’t learn anything from me anymore, it’s a good opportunity for you to join the Hao Hua Sect.” Finally, he softly voiced his decision.
Dao Master Yue Ming wasn’t doing anything in the past half a year. He contacted the people from the big sects that he had known in the past and communicated with them through his means. The reason was naturally to let Yue Hua enter and cultivate in those sects. After all, he couldn’t teach Yue Hua anymore at his current level. Not that he was unwilling, but it was because of the limitations of his strength.
“Although the Hao Hua Sect is not a top-tier holy land, they were one of the top inheritances at that time. There are even Heavenly Venerates in the sect.” Looking at Yue Hua, Dao Master Yue Ming smiled and told softly about the origins of the Hao Hua Sect.
There were various kinds of hereditary holy lands in this world. Most of them were related to the legendary immortal Gods, just like the legendary Sky Heavenly Weapon. It was a weapon that only immortal Gods could use.
The Hao Hua Sect was not the strongest among the many holy lands, but they were not weak either. Not only were there Heavenly Venerates, but there were also legendary inheritances left behind by the immortal Gods. Hence, they were deemed pretty good among the many holy lands.
The inheritances in such a holy land were just right for a Heavenly Gifted Individual like Yue Hua, enabling him to walk far. Dao Master Yue Ming believed that with Yue Hua’s talent, he would shine brilliantly and not be mediocre even if he entered the legendary holy land.
“Master…” Yue Hua was initially silent, facing Dao Master Yue Ming’s instructions. It took him a long time to come back to his senses, then he nodded heavily, “Sorry for your trouble. I will stand out among them and not let you down. I will also bring back elixirs to extend your life.” Yue Hua’s expression was very serious as he looked at the old man before him and said.
“Don’t worry about the elixirs. Just take care of yourself.” Looking at Yue Hua’s serious and sincere expression, Dao Master Yue Ming was somewhat gratified, then he said softly, “As for the rest, it’s up to fate. There’s no need to force anything.” He didn’t mind Yue Hua’s words, but he was also somewhat gratified.
It was already extremely rare to see such an outstanding seedling who could be called the talent of immortal Gods in this world. It was hard to find in this world. What was even rarer was that this child had extraordinary cultivation at such a young age. His talent was shocking, but his temperament was exceptionally calm and steady. He didn’t have the same high-spirited and arrogant attitude as the other Heavenly Gifted Individuals.
Dao Master Yue Ming felt that he wouldn’t have any regrets even if he died with a disciple like this. According to the current trend, even if he died, his name would most likely be recorded in the history books in the future. It was because he had taught a disciple who had the potential to become an immortal God. He couldn’t help but smile thinking of this. Then, he brought Yue Hua and walked toward the inner area.
After a while, Yue Hua officially left this area and slowly walked in the direction of the Hao Hua Sect, accompanied by the Dao Master Yue Ming. He imitated those who had challenged him in the past along the way and constantly challenged those Heavenly Gifted Individuals and powerhouses who had already become famous to hone his Dao techniques.
To a certain extent, this was both a process to hone himself and make his name known. Yue Hua was very famous in the Yue Ming Sect’s area. There weren’t many cultivators who didn’t know of him. However, not many people knew of his reputation in other places.
There were only a few ways to make a name for himself. It was undoubtedly an excellent method to continuously defeat other Heavenly Gifted Individuals and powerhouses all the way. This was also Dao Master Yue Ming’s suggestion.
After all, he had walked out of the barren land. Although he was already in the Nascent Transformation Stage, if he wanted the holy lands like the Hao Hua Sect to pay more attention to him, he naturally needed to have a more resounding reputation. If his reputation were resounding enough, the treatment he would receive after entering the Hao Hua Sect would naturally be better.
It was precisely because of this idea that Yue Hua had come all the way here and constantly challenged them everywhere. The entire process seemed very direct. As he challenged people all the way here, his cultivation base kept improving in the fierce fights, and his reputation became more well-known.
His reputation had already spread all over the place even before he came to the Hao Hua Sect, becoming more well-known. As a result, the Hao Hua Sect also paid more attention to him. They even personally sent two Demigod elders to escort him to prevent any accidents from happening.
Yue Hua officially joined the Hao Hua Sect. As soon as he joined, he became the disciple of one of the supreme elders and enjoyed the treatment of the most elite group of people. At this point, the legend of Yue Hua had just begun. His cultivation continued after joining the Hao Hua Sect.
He had just turned 16 years old this year, but his cultivation base was already very strong among the Nascent Soul cultivators. He wouldn’t be inferior to a Nascent Soul cultivator like Dao Master Yue Ming, who had cultivated for an even longer period.
Time passed slowly. After three years, a shocking scene emerged. Bolts of lightning began to grow in the Hao Hua Sect’s secret realm, and a unique Dao rhyme appeared.
Under everyone’s gaze, Yue Hua triggered the lightning tribulation and officially began to advance to the Demigod Stage. Everyone was shocked as soon as they heard the news.
The Demigod Stage was not an ordinary stage. A Demigod was qualified to be an elder, a core figure even in a holy land like the Hao Hua Sect. Under normal circumstances, even for those famous talents who hoped to advance to the Demigod Stage or even higher, it would take at least a thousand years to advance to the Demigod Stage. This was considered a very fast speed. But, at the same time, it was not unheard of to spend more time if they delayed for a while.
However, Yue Hua only took a dozen years. Yue Hua had already reached the Demigod Stage though he had only cultivated for fifteen years, from the age of five to twenty. This speed was not only fast but also terrifying.
Even the Hao Hua Sect leader, who had never come out of closed-door cultivation and had not appeared before outsiders for a long time, appeared before everyone and accepted Yue Hua as his direct disciple. Yue Hua was the only direct disciple of the Hao Hua Sect leader.
The Hao Hua Sect leader had been in closed-door cultivation before this to advance to a higher stage. However, this time, he was awakened by the huge thunder in the sky and immediately woke up and accepted Yue Hua as his disciple. This news spread and shocked many people in the surroundings.
After all, judging from the current situation, the leader of the Hao Hua Sect only had Yue Hua as his disciple. Therefore, if nothing unexpected happened in the future, Yue Hua could very likely become the next leader of the Hao Hua Sect.
As this news spread out, it shocked and made many people feel surprised. However, from then on, the name Yue Hua was also officially spread and became familiar to many people.
Time continued to pass. Yue Hua advanced to the Demigod Stage at the age of twenty and became the disciple of the Hao Hua Sect leader. However, he didn’t try to make a breakthrough again after that. Instead, he constantly polished his foundation and cultivated via the inherited books in the Hao Hua Sect to go further.
Compared to when he was with Dao Master Yue Ming, there was an entire inheritance in the Hao Hua Sect. It was said that it could reach the highest immortal God stage, which was worth considering. So Yue Hua went into seclusion in the Hao Hua Sect and cultivated in silence.
Another ten years passed. Ten years later, in the sky of the Hao Hua Sect, mighty lightning struck once again, shocking everyone. Yue Hua flew into the sky and faced the flashes of lightning that filled the sky under everyone’s shocked gazes.
He made another breakthrough and began to advance after ten years. If he took one more step above the Demigod Stage, he would be a half-step Heavenly Venerate.
In this world, due to the different environments in ancient times, Heavenly Venerates were not as rare as those in the previous world. The same goes for half-step Heavenly Venerate. They could more or less be seen. However, this didn’t mean that people at this level weren’t rare.
Even in this prosperous world, people who could become half-step Heavenly Venerate weren’t ordinary. Therefore, everyone respected them, even in the Hao Hua Sect. After all, even in the Hao Hua Sect, which was a holy land, there was only one Heavenly Venerate, the Hao Hua Sect master. The rest of the half-step Heavenly Venerate Stage figures were only a few elderly.
Compared to these people, Yue Hua becoming a half-step Heavenly Venerate at the age of thirty was undoubtedly enough to shock the entire Hao Hua Sect. It was something unimaginable for everyone.
A powerful aura emitted in the Hao Hua Sect air. That terrifying aura circulated in all directions and spread across the mountain peak as if it wanted to split the world into a pile of shards. Yue Hua was among them, and his figure was unprecedented.
After advancing to half-step Heavenly Venerate, he encountered a lightning tribulation that he had never encountered before. It was also the most powerful lightning tribulation he had encountered so far. He did not dare to be distracted under such a powerful lightning tribulation. He would likely be attached if he was not careful.
