Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 359 Ascending to the Heavens, Enlightened King!

Also at this time.

Li Qingyuan sensed someone approaching again. He slowly opened his eyes, looked up, and saw the two old oxen standing in front of him.

He asked in disbelief, "Is it over already?"

"Quick? It's already past midnight... If you don't wake up soon, it will be dawn."

Wang Anran said irritably, then changed the subject.

"Hey~ By the way, how did you do that?"

Li Qingyuan naturally knew that Wang Anran was referring to the speed of his cultivation breakthrough.

He smiled slightly and simply said, "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed."

After that, he said no more and closed his eyes to rest.

Upon seeing this, Wang Anran was speechless, but her curiosity only grew stronger.

Seeing that Li Qingyuan refused to reveal anything, she turned her gaze to the old ox and asked:

"Brother Yun, do you know?"

But then the old ox scratched its head, grinned, and said directly:

"We've been playing for a while, and I'm getting hungry. Do you have anything to eat?"

"???"

Upon hearing this, Wang Anran stomped her feet in anger and spat out:

"That Brother Yun is really heartless! All he does is fight and eat all day long!"

But then the old ox scratched its head again and said:

"Girl, you forgot one thing. Compared to these two, I actually prefer 'helping others for pleasure'—making money..."

"..."

Wang Anran was utterly speechless!

------

At this moment.

Jing Yichun finally slowly stood up, and said:

"The competition is over!"

After saying that, he casually waved his hand.

An invisible yet indestructible barrier, like a giant curtain stretching between heaven and earth, instantly separated the moonship from the area below.

Jing Yichun's words were merely casual remarks, yet they resonated like a great bell, reaching beyond the moonship and clearly audible in every corner of Dream City below.

Those cultivators who had originally tried to rush onto the moonship were now blocked by this invisible barrier!

His head slammed heavily against the barrier, making a dull thud.

The screams rose and fell in waves:

The sounds of "Ah..." were incessant.

Many cultivators were seen clutching their aching heads as they plummeted to the ground, their faces so grim they seemed to drip water!

However, although everyone was dissatisfied, no one dared to say a word.

After all, the person above is Jing Yichun, the second elder of Yuanyang Tower, who is suspected to have broken through to the Emperor Realm!

Who wouldn't be afraid of death and dare to provoke such a terrifying being?

......

Inside the lunar module.

Upon hearing Jing Yichun's words, most of the cultivators breathed a sigh of relief.

The intense competition just now had left them completely exhausted!

Every muscle seemed to have been drained of strength, and every bit of profound energy was almost exhausted, making it difficult for them to continue fighting.

At this moment, everyone sat cross-legged, recuperating and doing their best to recover.

After all, there was something even more important waiting for them—to compete for and comprehend the legendary Nine-Turn Glazed Palace Lamp!

This is the most important part of this grand event, and it is their last gamble after overcoming countless difficulties and obstacles and giving their all to get to where they are today!

They've worked so hard for this moment, haven't they?

Even if I don't get the King of Lamps in the end, just being able to experience it up close will make the trip worthwhile.

In previous grand events, some people, though they did not obtain the Lantern King, still gained enlightenment through contemplation and successfully broke through their cultivation bottlenecks.

It is said that the person was a high-level cultivator at the King Realm!

So how could they easily miss such a rare opportunity?

Jing Yichun slowly scanned the surroundings, and seeing that everyone had stopped what they were doing, he pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice:

"After an incense stick has burned, we will ascend together to the heavens to comprehend the King of Lamps... This will be our final gathering!"

Upon hearing this, the cultivators below immediately became extremely alert!

They methodically took out various pills to restore their profound energy, as well as other highly nourishing medicines, from their spatial rings and swallowed them without hesitation.

I hope to speed up my recovery and be in the best possible condition for the upcoming moment of enlightenment!

......

Old Huangniu and Wang Anran had quietly strolled over to Yue Qinghuan and the other two, and the five of them sat together, chatting and laughing.

The old ox's booming voice was still as powerful as thunder!

The fierce battle just now was merely a warm-up for someone like him who could break through all laws with sheer force; it had no effect on him, and he was in excellent condition.

He was even more unsatisfied, not quite satisfied...

At this moment, the old ox began to boast about his strange and wonderful experiences with great enthusiasm.

He recounted the story vividly:

"Back in the day, I encountered a rabbit that could travel through space in a mysterious valley."

"That rabbit spirit claimed to be the reincarnation of an ancient rabbit fairy and insisted on dragging me to find some lost treasure."

"As a result, I followed it into a dark cave, which was full of all sorts of strange mechanisms and traps."

"Once, I was chased all over the mountain by a fire-breathing stone giant..."

"The stone giant was engulfed in raging flames, and with each step it took, the ground sizzled and crackled..."

"I finally escaped it, only to fall into a deep pit full of poisonous snakes..."

"Those venomous snakes were flicking their tongues, their eyes were a gleaming green, they scared me so much I almost fainted..."

"Fortunately, I'm naturally strong. With a flurry of punches and kicks, I utterly defeated them..."

The girls listened intently, amused by the old ox's bizarre story, their bodies trembling and their laughter echoing in the air like silver bells.

------

The time it takes for an incense stick to burn is fleeting, like a white horse galloping past a crack in the wall.

When the time came, Jing Yichun did not delay any longer and stood up abruptly.

His gaze swept over the crowd, his voice steady and powerful:

"Let's go. Let's see which of you is destined for that Nine-Turn Glazed Palace Lamp..."

Upon hearing this, the group of cultivators immediately held their breath, straightened their robes, and stood solemnly, ready to fight!

Li Qingyuan also stood up, looking at Jing Yichun with anticipation in her eyes.

His mind was filled with endless imagination regarding the Nine-Turn Glazed Palace Lamp. What kind of peerless treasure could it be that could attract so many cultivators to flock to it...?

At this moment.

Jing Yichun simply waved his hand, without making any fancy moves;

The cultivators felt a sudden lightness in their bodies, as if they were being lifted up by an invisible force and instantly suspended in the air.

Immediately afterwards, they instantly left the moonship, shooting upwards and flashing towards the location of the Nine-Turn Glazed Palace Lamp!
