Chapter 281
In the days that followed, the elders of Great Mystery Sacred Land received daily debt collection messages.
Since the number came from the official line of Heavenly Origin Sacred Land, they couldn’t block it.
It annoyed them to no end.
They heard the debt-collecting female cultivator repeatedly explain the consequences of not repaying the debt.
Plus, with Elder Jinwu still not emerging from seclusion, the elders grew more and more anxious.
Many began to wonder if they should secretly start repaying in installments to avoid the penalties accumulating too much and being unable to pay later.
At this point, the most anxious of all was undoubtedly the Great Mystery Saint Master himself.
He received the most debt collection messages.
The other party clearly stated that if payment was overdue by three months, Heavenly Origin Sacred Land wouldn’t just collect the debt, they would also post the debtor’s photo and name on the homepage of the Immortal Net Weibo’s defaulters list, displayed for all cultivators across Dayan Province to see.
As the Saint Master of a Sacred Land, a once peerless genius, how humiliating would it be for his photo and name to be posted on the homepage of Immortal Net Weibo?
This could never happen.
Thus, the Great Mystery Saint Master watched Jinwu Peak every day, pinning his hopes on it.
As long as Elder Jinwu successfully broke through to the Great Advancement Realm, Heavenly Origin Sacred Land wouldn’t dare to pursue the debt anymore… Sёarᴄh the NovelZone.fun website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
So…
“Elder, you must break through!” The Great Mystery Saint Master clenched his fists.
—
Time passed like this.
The third repayment deadline for the cultivation loan drew nearer and nearer.
The elders of Great Mystery Sacred Land grew more and more anxious.
There was still no movement from Jinwu Peak.
The debt collector calling every day had changed from a female cultivator of the Hundred Flowers Sect to an elder from Heavenly Origin Sacred Land.
Each day, their tone grew more severe.
If the payment wasn’t made by the first of next month, Heavenly Origin Sacred Land would initiate forcible enforcement.
Just as the elders’ anxiety peaked, there was suddenly a reaction from the long-silent Jinwu Peak.
Endless divine flames burst from Jinwu Peak, shooting up into the sky, and turning the entire sky above the Sacred Land crimson.
A terrifying aura that made people instinctively tremble with fear began spreading across the vast Sacred Land from Jinwu Peak.
All the cultivators in Great Mystery Sacred Land instantly felt their bodies freeze.
Those below the Nascent Soul Realm couldn’t even control their bodies anymore, unable to move a single inch.
And while those above Nascent Soul weren’t physically affected, their hearts were filled with dread, as though being stared at by an ancient behemoth.
This aura…
All the elders of Great Mystery Sacred Land were filled with immense joy, looking excitedly toward Jinwu Peak.
Above Jinwu Peak, a burst of laughter rang out, shaking the heavens and earth.
“Hahaha…
“I, Daoist Jinwu, was a shining star a thousand years ago.
“I left all the geniuses of my era far behind, invincible among my peers.
“And now, I’ve advanced even further!
“Today, I, Daoist Jinwu, officially step into the Great Advancement Realm, unmatched in Great Yan Province.”
His thunderous voice rolled through the ears of everyone present.
The lower-level disciples of Great Mystery Sacred Land widened their eyes in shock.
Our Supreme Elder had broken through to the legendary Great Advancement Realm?
The next moment, a towering figure, over a thousand meters tall and emitting a red glow, appeared high in the sky.
The figure basked in the awe-filled gazes of countless people.
It resembled an ancient giant, covered in countless divine patterns, as if forged from molten lava.
But the most extraordinary sight was the colossal divine tree behind the giant, engulfed in flames.
The flames on the tree were so intense, it seemed capable of incinerating everything in existence.
The elders of Great Mystery Sacred Land looked at the divine tree with deep reverence.
This was a manifestation of the Heaven and Earth Dharma Image, transformed from the primordial spirit.
However, that tree was not just an ordinary primordial spirit.
It had evolved from a primordial spirit phenomenon.
Records in the Sacred Land stated that only the most extraordinary of geniuses could have a primordial spirit with a phenomenon.
Even in ancient times, cultivators with such phenomena were peerless geniuses.
Once they achieved Great Advancement, the phenomenon would become real, terrifyingly powerful.
Their own Elder Jinwu had a primordial spirit with a phenomenon.
He was a top-tier genius.
No wonder he could achieve Great Advancement at just a thousand years old.
The Great Mystery Saint Master was overjoyed.
With Elder Jinwu breaking through to Great Advancement today, once the news spread, would Heavenly Origin Sacred Land still dare to demand repayment?
The Great Mystery Saint Master and the other elders immediately flew to Jinwu Peak and bowed in unison to congratulate him.
“Congratulations, Elder, for achieving Great Advancement and becoming unmatched in Dayan.”
The Heaven and Earth Dharma Image disappeared.
Elder Jinwu’s voice came from within his cave abode. “I’ve just broken through and need to stabilize my realm, to comprehend the mysteries of Great Advancement.
“I must enter seclusion for a while longer.”
It was normal for a cultivator to stabilize their realm after breaking through.
Although Elder Jinwu had not yet emerged from seclusion, everything had changed once he achieved Great Advancement.
Ye Chen…
This time, you’re doomed!
The Great Mystery Saint Master’s face was filled with a cold smile.
