Chapter 126: Sun and Moon Shine Together, the Dao Field Emerges

"Congratulations to Huntian Sect's Sect Heir Candidate Chen Feng for successfully challenging the Huntian Battle Tower and securing first place on the Strongest Meridian Forging Ranking!"

The entire Huntian Sect was shaken.

First on the Strongest Body Forging Ranking!

First on the Strongest Acupoint Opening Ranking!

First on the Strongest Meridian Forging Ranking!

With this momentum, it seemed Chen Feng intended to dominate every Strongest Ranking and claim the top spot across the board.

"Senior Brother Chen's cultivation speed is astonishing—he’s already reached the Meridian Forging Realm..."

Yuan Hualong, Xiao Xuanwu, and others felt immense pressure. They had long abandoned the idea of pursuing the Thirteenth Transformation of the Body Forging Realm—it was far too difficult and required an excessive amount of resources.

Now, they had all advanced to the Aperture Opening Realm, unlocking one acupoint after another.

"Chen Feng!"

Han Daoling's heart trembled violently. He had already successfully unlocked 270 acupoints and was currently refining his internal energy. Possessing the God-Grade Divine Trait, the Primordial Spirit Dao Body, his speed of refining internal energy was extraordinarily fast, far surpassing other prodigies.

So far, he had completed seven refinements.

His goal was to achieve nine refinements.

With the capabilities of his God-Grade Primordial Spirit Dao Body, it wasn’t impossible.

He had originally believed his cultivation would surpass Chen Feng's, but now, he found himself left far behind.

"Congratulations to Huntian Sect's Sect Heir Candidate Chen Feng for successfully challenging the Huntian Battle Tower and ranking 100th on the Strongest Qi Sea Ranking!"

Another announcement resounded, causing yet another wave of shock.

At the same time, it left many bewildered.

Was Sect Heir Chen Feng in the Meridian Forging Realm or the Qi Sea Realm?

If he were in the Qi Sea Realm, he couldn’t have challenged the Strongest Meridian Forging Ranking. Thus, there was only one truth:

Sect Heir Chen Feng was in the Meridian Forging Realm, yet his strength was so overwhelming that he could contend with Qi Sea Realm cultivators—even the most exceptional prodigies on the Huntian Sect's historical Strongest Qi Sea Ranking were no match for him.

Realizing this, everyone gasped in astonishment.

For an ordinary martial artist, reverse suppression from the Meridian Forging Realm to the Qi Sea Realm was impossible. But for a supreme prodigy, it was achievable, and for a true monster, it wasn’t even difficult.

However, strength within the Qi Sea Realm also varied.

To rank on the sect's historical Strongest Ranking undoubtedly meant standing at the pinnacle of that realm.

"Impossible... How could this be...?" Han Daoling shook his head repeatedly, his face deathly pale, unable to believe it.

Since joining the Huntian Sect, he had believed he would rise above his peers and dominate his generation. Yet, he found himself suppressed by a mere Mortal Body.

"If I, Han Daoling, was born, why must Chen Feng exist?"

Unaware of the uproar outside, Chen Feng continued to challenge and temper himself.

The strength of those on the Strongest Qi Sea Ranking was indeed incomparable to the Meridian Forging Realm. Each opponent was immensely powerful, and their mastery of martial arts was exceptionally profound.

In the end, Chen Feng was defeated, ranking 70th on the Strongest Qi Sea Ranking.

He became the only person in Huntian Sect's history to rank on the Qi Sea Ranking while still in the Meridian Forging Realm.

"Sect Heir Chen is invincible!"

"Sect Heir Chen is peerless!"

Cheers erupted throughout the Huntian Sacred Mountain.

Yet, in the outer sect area, one man stood frozen, his face ashen, his eyes filled with endless regret. Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed backward.

......

"Who would have thought our Huntian Sect would produce such an anomaly..."

"Compared to that Primordial Spirit Dao Body, this person is our greatest rival—perhaps even our greatest threat."

"So what? It's just competition."

Three divine senses conversed, each tone grave. Initially, they hadn’t paid much attention to the Primordial Spirit Dao Body, as the gap between them was vast. But now, an anomaly named Chen Feng had emerged, advancing far too quickly—especially his strength, which was astonishing—immediately putting pressure on them.

(To be continued...)

...

After returning to Juejian Peak, Chen Feng promptly relayed War Emperor Ancestor’s words to his master, Wang Yuandao.

"The Heavenly Emperor’s Dao Field..."

Wang Yuandao paused slightly, as if deep in thought.

"Indeed, the Heavenly Emperor’s Dao Field appears once every thousand years—a legacy left by the Heavenly Emperor for the younger generation of the Linghuang Domain. I recall the last time it emerged in the Central Land, where the prodigies of the Central Land reaped great benefits and made significant advancements. Who knows where it will appear this time?"

"Rest assured, if the Heavenly Emperor’s Dao Field is to appear, it should be this year. When it does, celestial phenomena will manifest. Our Huntian Sect will remain vigilant and not miss the opportunity."

"Thank you, Master. I shall go into seclusion now."

Chen Feng had gained immense rewards from challenging the Strongest Meridian Forging Ranking and the Strongest Qi Sea Ranking. Now, he intended to enter seclusion to consolidate his gains.

Even if his cultivation couldn’t break through or improve, it didn’t matter—he could still enhance other aspects.

Such as his swordsmanship and other martial arts.

This seclusion lasted over half a year.

During this time, the Huntian Sect recruited a new batch of disciples. Among them, two directly struck the drum five times, possessing Saint-Grade Divine Traits and earning the title of Quasi-Sect Heirs. Those who struck the drum four times numbered five, while over a hundred struck the drum three times.

This was enough to suggest that the Huntian Sect’s fortunes were recovering.

At the Flying Leaf Cliff’s training grounds on Juejian Peak, Chen Feng pointed his sword toward the sea of clouds. The blade trembled slightly, and a faint aura seemed to emerge from it—like a wisp of fragmented lightning—bursting forth from the tip.

In an instant, an overwhelming sharpness filled the air.

But that wisp of fragmented lightning dissipated just as quickly.

Chen Feng’s expression remained unchanged, his gaze fixed on the blade, his essence, qi, and spirit highly concentrated—his body and mind unified, his mind and sword as one. From a distance, he resembled a sword standing between heaven and earth.

A few breaths later, another wisp of fragmented lightning emerged on the blade, slithering along the spine toward the edge.

Then came a second, a third...

One after another, wisps of fragmented lightning manifested on the blade, surging toward the edge before flowing back through the tip, forming a continuous cycle.

The sword trembled, emitting a piercing hum like a swarm of bees.

A closer look revealed countless fragmented arcs of lightning gathering and converging into a fierce, razor-sharp current swirling endlessly.

From afar, Wang Yuandao, hands clasped behind his back as he stepped through the air, couldn’t help but smile.

"The Third Realm of Sword Dao—Sword Energy Manifestation..."

Yang Tao, standing respectfully to the side, exclaimed in awe, "Master, the Young Master’s swordsmanship talent is simply astounding—unmatched in the history of our Huntian Sect!"

"This kid..." Wang Yuandao didn’t know what else to say.

Twenty years old—yet he had already comprehended and mastered the Third Realm of Sword Dao, Sword Energy Manifestation, making him the greatest in Juejian Peak’s history.

Even across the entire Eastern Wasteland, no swordsman of such unparalleled brilliance could be found.

Thinking back to when I was twenty years old, I barely managed to grasp the First Realm of Sword Dao, the Sword Unity Realm. It wasn’t until my thirties that I comprehended the Third Realm, Sword Energy Manifestation. Wang Yuandao suddenly felt as if all his past cultivation had been wasted, as though he had trained for nothing. As for Yang Tao, the gap was even wider.

"Sword energy..."

Chen Feng's eyes gleamed with sharp light as he turned and swung his sword. The fierce, razor-sharp aura condensed on the blade instantly shot forth, slicing through the air. In an instant, the sword energy struck a cliff face 10 meters away—hardened like tempered steel—leaving behind a meter-long gash half a meter deep, a shocking sight. A faint smile tugged at Chen Feng's lips.

This sword energy was not condensed from internal energy. Instead, it was a power drawn directly from the sword itself, now that he had reached the Third Realm of Sword Dao, built upon the foundation of Heart-Sword Unity.

"Let’s try integrating internal energy into the sword energy," Chen Feng mused to himself, immediately channeling his internal energy.

His vast, domineering, and exquisitely refined internal energy surged into the sword, merging with faint arcs of electricity. The aura enveloping the blade instantly multiplied several times over, growing overwhelmingly powerful.

Slash!

A three-meter-long sword energy streaked through the air, flickering with tiny fragments of starlight. The air itself was severed, and the cliff face 10 meters away was carved with a three-meter-long scar, two feet deep.

"Those in the Meridian Forging Realm and Qi Sea Realm usually have to fight in close combat. But with this sword strike, I can catch them off guard."

Chen Feng pondered silently.

If his enemies remained unaware, he could unleash a devastating sword energy from 10 or even 20 meters away.

Just the thought of it thrilled him.

BOOM!

A deafening roar erupted from the heavens, shaking the earth like a thousand thunderclaps.

Every martial artist across the Eastern Wasteland was startled, halting their activities to gaze skyward.

As the thunderous echoes rolled, radiant beams of light burst from the void, each stretching thousands of meters across the firmament, dyeing the sky in a celestial glow.

Amidst the endless radiance, a blazing sun slowly rose, burning with unparalleled heat and brilliance, casting its light upon the world. Then, a moon appeared out of nowhere, its silvery light serene as water, yet undimmed by the sun’s brilliance—both shining together in harmony.

Golden and silver radiance filled the heavens amidst the divine lights, accompanied by the solemn chanting of Dao Chants.

Heavenly Flowers fell.

Golden Lotuses sprouted from the earth.

Such an astonishing phenomenon left everyone dumbstruck.

"Divine Lights Illuminate the Sky... Sun and Moon Shine Together..."

Wang Yuandao stared at the breathtaking celestial display, murmuring involuntarily.

"This... a great opportunity has descended... the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Field has appeared..."

Chen Feng also realized this, a surge of excitement flashing across his face.

It wasn’t just them—many among the Ten Great Powers were aware of the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Field’s existence and had predicted its emergence this year. Now, seeing it with their own eyes, they were overcome with exhilaration.

The last time, the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Field had appeared in the Central Land. By the time they learned of it, it was already too late—the prodigies of the Central Land had reaped immense benefits.

After all, the previous appearance of the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Field lasted only three short days before vanishing.

Though brief, those who entered often gained significant rewards.

This time, the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Field has appeared in the Eastern Wasteland, making it fitting for the prodigies of the Eastern Wasteland to seize the opportunity and reap its benefits. As for those who are not prodigies, they are unworthy of entering. Such grand opportunities are typically monopolized by powerful factions. Divine Lights Illuminate the Sky, Sun and Moon Shine Together, Flowers Rain from the Sky, and Golden Lotuses Sprout from the Earth—a phantom of a world gradually emerges. Faintly visible within it are mountains, rivers, forests, and plains, as well as pavilions, towers, and towering palaces. "It truly is the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Field..." Wang Yuandao's words left Chen Feng momentarily stunned. When he had first heard of the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Field, he had imagined it as a simple palace or cave dwelling. Never had he expected it to be like this. Near the border of the Eastern Wasteland and the Central Land, atop a nameless peak, stood two figures—an elder and a youth. "Hahaha, who would have thought? I merely came to the Eastern Wasteland to travel, yet I encountered the grand opportunity of the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Field's emergence. I, Xiahou Ba, am the one destined by heaven!" "With the Young Master's talent and strength, you will undoubtedly become the greatest beneficiary of the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Field."
