True Martial World - chapter-854

In Black Wind Valley, there was less than a day left till the end of the
training.

Most disciples had managed to get their footing on the fifth level, while
a minority of disciples only barely entered the fifth level before they
immediately returned to the fourth level. However, this meant that they
still passed the training. Although it did not seem like a bona fide
pass, and it was quite contemptible, it was within the confines of the
rules.

Cang Mang glanced at those people with heavy eyelids and he secretly
shook his head. By barely being able to pass, and without any impressive
show of ability at the Ancient Fey Edifice, these disciples were most
likely to be eliminated immediately once they entered the Luo Divine Hall
trials.

They were the cream of the crop amongst ordinary disciples, but when all
the geniuses of the Luo clan were gathered in the Luo Divine Hall trials,
they could not even stand on the proper stage.

Yi Yun was the only one who could stand neck to neck with those geniuses
amongst the disciples present that Cang Mang eyed. Even Luo Tian was
slightly off the mark.

“However, the Xushui Ran clan will not forget this matter. Let’s see how
he plans on dealing with it.” Cang Mang thought to himself.

And at this moment, a loud explosion suddenly echoed from within Yi Yun’s
body!

The sound was like rolling thunder and everyone’s gazes were instantly
focused on Yi Yun.

A vortex appeared out of nowhere in front of Yi Yun. All the blood
dragon’s essence energy on the seventh level was sucked into the vortex.

With a loud shrill scream, the Nine Neonate and Golden Crow totems
appeared simultaneously behind Yi Yun.

The totems that were more than a hundred feet tall descended like Ancient
Fey. The nine snake heads looked extremely ferocious, while the Golden
Crow’s flames burned intensely.

And after that, a dragon’s roar suddenly boomed as the Heaven Devouring
Flood Dragon’s phantom image appeared as well.

The blood dragon essence energy was devoured so incessantly that the
black shadows on the eighth level distanced themselves away.

In Yi Yun’s body, Yuan Qi seemed to flow like endless waves as it
vigorously circulated around his body.

Boom!

Instantly, it was as though the heaven and earth had opened up at the
beginning of life. A Dao Tree appeared in front of Yi Yun.

The tree leaves swayed as though they were producing Dao chants. The Dao
Tree was already tens of feet high.

“Yi Yun is about to break through to the Heaven Ascension realm.” Lie Ya
said.

“He was at the Yuan Opening perfection realm, so it’s reasonable for him
to break through.” Another disciple said.

Updated from /

Yi Yun had first absorbed the Ancient Fey bone before absorbing the
Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake. It was no wonder that he could make a
breakthrough after consuming such treasures.

At this moment, Luo Tian already had a distasteful feeling whenever he
looked at Yi Yun. At the Black Wind Valley trials, all the limelight had
been stolen by Yi Yun. The best things were also obtained by Yi Yun, so
how could he feel comfortable?

Originally, Luo Tian was able to mentally console himself that Yi Yun’s
cultivation realm was lower than his. It was only at the Yuan Opening
realm.

But now, once Yi Yun broke through to the Heaven Ascension realm, Luo
Tian would be in the same realm as Yi Yun. Although Luo Tian was a
subrealm higher, it was not a major advantage.

If that was the case, the decades that he had over Yi Yun in cultivation
had been sent to the dogs?

“How old is Yi Yun?” Luo Tian suddenly asked.

“His bone age should be in their thirties, definitely not even forty.” A
Fire Cloud State disciple said.

This made Luo Tian knit his brows even tighter. He himself had broken
through the Heaven Ascension realm at the age of forty-two!

Now, Yi Yun was just in his thirties.

“Too young!” Luo Tian shook his head. “Even a Luo clan genius would wait
till they were nearly forty before they chose to break through to the
Heaven Ascension realm. Yi Yun grew up in a lower realm, so be it
resources or heritage, there is no way that the lower realm can compete
with the 12 Empyrean Heavens.”

“Yi Yun has just come to the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven, so he
should take advantage of the rich resources here and cultivate for a few
more years to ensure he has a solid foundation. Yi Yun’s nomological
insight is impressive, and his body has absorbed the Ancient Fey bone. So
he could be called unique and incomparable.”

“But one’s cultivation level and foundation cannot be accumulated without
the passage of time. If those Luo clan geniuses want to break through to
the Heaven Ascension realm, they could do it before the age of thirty as
well, but they would drag it out for more than a decade so they could
ensure that their foundations were perfect. Once they break through to
the Heaven Ascension realm, their Dao Trees would be more than ninety
deca-feet tall, some would even reach ninety-nine deca-feet!”

In a warrior’s cultivation, they would plant a Dao Seed at the Yuan
Foundation, grow a divine tree from the Dao Seed, laying the path to
Heaven Ascension. The taller the Dao Tree was, the smoother the warrior’s
path would be in the future.

At this moment, on the Phoenix Firmiana State’s side, someone
interrupted, “What Senior Brother Luo said is true. However, Yi Yun is
choosing to break through now because of the pressure that the Xushui Ran
clan will bring him. Although the Xushui Ran clan would not blatantly
deal with Yi Yun, it is inevitable that they will retaliate within the
confines of the rules. Who knows, Yi Yun might also end up in the same
state as Ran Yu. Yi Yun must have considered this to choose to break
through to the Heaven Ascension realm in his thirties.”

The moment this Phoenix Firmiana State disciple said this, the others
fell silent. Putting themselves in Yi Yun’s shoes, they would probably
make the same choice. After all, there were still opportunities to slowly
make up for a poor foundation. If one’s personal strength was too weak,
they might suffer a mishap in the trials due to someone from the Xushui
Ran clan, and he might even lose half his life.

“What you said is right. What Yi Yun did is a wise choice.” Luo Tian
sighed as he felt mixed emotions.

And at this moment, the Dao Tree in front of Yi Yun was beginning to grow
taller.

The energy within his body was constantly transforming into nutrients for
the Dao tree. It was as if the Dao Tree would become towering and pierce
straight into the clouds.

Heaven Ascension meant that the tree grown from the Dao seed becomes a
path to heaven ascension.

Ten deca-feet, twenty deca-feet… fifty deca-feet… eighty deca-feet,
all the way to ninety deca-feet!

With every additional growth in height of the Dao Tree, its appearance
would change. It was obvious at a glance at what level the Dao Tree was.
In fact, even without these changes, a warrior’s eyesight was able to
visually estimate the Dao Tree’s height.

Upon seeing Yi Yun’s Dao Tree reach ninety deca-feet, Luo Tian’s heart
shrunk. It was already that tall? That’s too fast!

Seeing Yi Yun’s Dao Tree grow unabated, it was definitely not a problem
even if it hit ninety-five deca-feet at this rate.

“Senior Brother Luo, how high was your Dao Tree when you broke through to
the Heaven Ascension realm?” Someone beside Luo Tian asked.

Luo Tian had quite an ugly expression on his face. Back then, his Dao
Tree had grown to a height of ninety-seven deca-feet. That height was
considered not bad, but in the Luo clan, there were people with higher
Dao Trees than Luo Tian. There were many who had their Dao Trees attain
the height of ninety-eight deca-feet, while there even a handful of
people reaching ninety-nine deca-feet.

Luo Tian also knew that there was a difference when he compared himself
to the top geniuses who grew up in the royal capital. He was still
satisfied with his Dao Tree reaching the height of ninety-seven
deca-feet. It was something to be proud of, but seeing how Yi Yun’s Dao
Tree had already reached ninety-five deca-feet without slowing down, how
could he mention that he only had a ninety-seven deca-feet Dao Tree?

He had broken through to the Heaven Ascension realm at the age of
forty-two… seven or eight years older than Yi Yun.

If even Yi Yun surpassed him with this, what did he amount to? He was
inferior to Yi Yun in laws, inferior to Yi Yun in bloodline, and even
now, his foundation… that he cultivated for forty-two years was
inferior to Yi Yun’s just over thirty years.

“Yi Yun’s Dao Tree should be at the height of ninety-seven deca-feet now!”

The moment the disciple finished saying that, he realized that Yi Yun’s
Dao Tree was growing higher again.

Luo Tian’s heart shrank as his expression turned extremely ugly.

“Could it be… ?”

“Ka-cha!”

A lightning bolt struck down from above the nine heavens, right onto Yi
Yun’s Dao Tree.

And at the same time, two sharp calls echoed as the Nine Neonate and
Golden Crow circled around the Dao Seed’s tree before entering the tree’s
crown and flying amidst the clouds.

Nine-eight deca-feet!

“Roar!”

A dragon’s roar was emitted from Yi Yun’s body as the Heaven Devouring
Flood Dragon phantom image appeared and flew straight into the Dao Tree.

Ka! Ka! Ka! As though the Heaven and Earth was being split apart, thunder
rang again.

The Dao Tree grew ten feet higher once again!

Ninety-nine deca-feet!

Yi Yun’s Dao tree had grown to a height of ninety-nine deca-feet in one
fell swoop. From afar, it looked like it was connected to the firmament.

The numbers of 99 was the pinnacle of Dao. By reaching the height of
ninety-nine deca-feet, that Dao Tree had obtained perfection. However,
perfection was not something ridiculously difficult. Amongst Luo clan
geniuses, they still existed despite being exceedingly rare.

Yi Yun looked up at his Dao Tree. His Dao Tree had stopped growing at the
height of ninety-nine deca-feet, and it did not reach a hundred deca-feet.

However… Yi Yun’s Dao Tree looked somewhat different. Every leaf of the
Dao Tree contained strange textures that resembled the Dao Leaf that Yi
Yun had obtained at the Pure Yang Sword Palace.

As the gentle wind blew, the tree leaves rustled. The rustling seemed to
contain a strange melody that was quite fascinating.

However, the mystery contained within the leaves was naturally not
something that Luo Tian and company could see.

In fact, just reaching the height of a Nine Nine Dao Tree was something
that they could not accept.

Ninety-nine deca-feet, perfection!

Luo Tian looked at Yi Yun’s Dao Tree and he felt like his face had been
brutally smashed in by a fist. He felt his brain buzz.

They had just speculated that Yi Yun was forced by the Xushui Ran clan to
make his breakthrough in a haste. But before they were even done with
their conversation, Yi Yun’s Dao Tree had grown to a height of
ninety-nine deca-feet!

Can you stop doing that? Can you spare us a living path?

Being first at the collective training and obtaining all the benefits.
Breaking through to the Heaven Ascension realm and even obtaining a Nine
Nine Dao Tree!

Luo Tian suddenly felt discouraged and disillusioned. His looking forward
to the Luo Divine Hall trials had even reduced.

The source of this content is

He finally understood that he should not have competed with Yi Yun to
begin with.

He was not a genius on the same level as Yi Yun, which resulted in such a
disparate gap. At the collective training session, he was put down by Yi
Yun in every single way, with him unable to lift his head up.

“Nine Nine Dao Tree. Yi Yun, you are pretty fine, but do not become
complacent. A Nine Nine Dao Tree does not ensure great success in the
future.”

At this moment, Cang Mang’s voice echoed in Yi Yun’s ears.

A Nine Nine Dao Tree was a basic, a necessary condition that a top mighty
figure had to have. However, there were people with Nine Nine Dao Trees
who ended up exhausting all their potential when they reached a certain
stage.

“Yes, thank you, Senior Cang Mang, for your sincere advice. This junior
is well aware. My martial path has only just started… ”

As Yi Yun said this, the Dao Tree in front of him gradually shrunk and it
flew into his Dantian. At that moment, Yi Yun’s eyes became more
profound, and the bottom of his eyes seemed to have Dao Tree leaf veins
flashing.

At this moment, Yi Yun felt that he was even closer to ‘Dao’, but
that feeling disappeared very quickly.

The truth of Great Dao was not something that was easy to touch.
