This person stood in a pool, battered by a waterfall that fell like a celestial river with immeasurable force.
He was standing at the heart of a colossal waterfall powerful enough to crush steel city walls to dust, enduring the impact of the celestial cascade.
His physique was terrifyingly powerful!
’Interesting. To think that "Cangyuan Sword" Guan Yuanjun would actually lose!’
’I’d like to see for myself just how capable this Gu Yun is!’
A low murmur escaped his lips.
Jiang Wu’s eyes flashed like lightning, erupting with a sharp glint that seemed capable of tearing through the sky.
He exuded an overwhelming pressure, and his piercing gaze was so sharp it was hard to look at!
’I’ve been in cultivation for a long time. Time for a little relaxation.’
’It’s time to come out of seclusion and fight the world!’
The moment the thought crossed his mind,
he threw a punch upward from beneath the crashing, celestial waterfall!
A vast power erupted from the bottom of the falls. The supremely tyrannical fist-force was like a great star falling, carrying with it destructive might. The mountains for several kilometers around seemed to tremble at that moment.
A fist projection, like a blazing sun searing through the atmosphere, soared into the air. The surrounding air distorted under the terrifying force of the punch.
Where the fist passed, it violently shattered the hard reef stone that hadn’t moved an inch despite being battered by the waterfall for hundreds, even thousands of years.
The sweeping currents of air rose layer by layer toward the sky, pulverizing the falling water and reef fragments.
BOOM!
The tyrannical True Yuan fist struck out with immense power.
It actually forced the thousand-zhang-high waterfall to reverse its flow, sending it surging back to the top.
Such tyrannical power was truly terrifying!
Layer upon layer of visible True Yuan fist-force slammed upward, reversing the thousand-zhang waterfall.
Even more astonishingly,
the entire celestial river waterfall was blasted so violently by the vast and boundless fist momentum that it nearly evaporated. A massive amount of water vapor rose, shrouding the entire mountain.
When sunlight shone down from the sky, it refracted through the mist-filled air, creating a brilliant rainbow over the mountaintop!
...
Gu Yun, of course, knew nothing of this.
He was now approaching Starlight Island, gazing at the enormous island before him, which was as large as ten of the "Island Country" from his past life.
The defensive Array meant to guard the island against Sea Beast invasions was giving off a faint white glow, which nearly blended with the white clouds above Starlight Island, making it look like a celestial paradise.
Gu Yun couldn’t help but be surprised. As expected of a major outpost for numerous Sects in the Chaotic Star Sea Region. In addition to the "One Palace, Three Sects, Five Teachings" of the sea region, major Sects from the Eastern Profound Domain mainland also had outposts here, all for the common purpose of defending against invasion by the Sea Race.
After all, compared to the land, the vast, boundless ocean gave rise to Sea Race Demon Beasts far more numerous and powerful than the Demon Beasts of the Eastern Profound Domain.
Soon, Gu Yun entered the largest city on Starlight Island, Xingguang City.
Tall buildings rose from the ground, surrounded by countless shops and businesses of all kinds. As far as the eye could see,
all sorts of Cultivators came and went: Sword Cultivators, Blade Cultivators, Alchemists, Array Masters, Artifact Refiners...
Among them were even a few prodigies. It was truly a gathering of dragons and tigers, a confluence of the era’s greatest talents.
Gu Yun spread his Spiritual Sense and discovered the presence of a Spirit Vein beneath the ground.
The Spirit Vein overflowed from beneath the earth, its energy locked in place by a crisscrossing Array.
’This isn’t a city, it’s a massive cultivation paradise!’
No wonder the Sects of the Chaotic Star Sea Region and the major Sects from the Eastern Profound Domain mainland all had stations here.
Soon, Gu Yun arrived at the Profound Celestial Sect’s station on Starlight Island, which was located in the area with the densest Spirit Vein.
Seeing his Inner Sect Disciple attire, many of the Outer Sect Disciples he passed greeted him politely, clasping their fists. "Greetings, Senior Brother!"
Upon Gu Yun’s arrival, an Inner Sect Disciple at the True Martial Realm also came out to welcome him.
"Junior Brother Gu, welcome, welcome!
I just heard the news that someone from our Sect defeated ’Cangyuan Sword’ Guan Yuanjun. I was thinking it must be one of the senior-most brothers descending upon us."
"I never expected it would be you, Junior Brother!" Zhao Chunli said to Gu Yun with a mix of surprise and admiration.
’If I recall correctly, this is the same new disciple who joined the Inner Sect less than two years ago and defeated Situ Yuan of Flame Fire Dao Peak.’
’And how long has it been? His cultivation has already reached the True Martial Fourth Layer, and his combat strength is enough to defeat ’Cangyuan Sword’ Guan Yuanjun, a prodigy famous in the Chaotic Star Sea Region for a long time.’
"You’re too kind, Senior Brother Zhao. It was just luck," Gu Yun replied politely.
The moment Gu Yun stepped into the Profound Celestial Sect’s station, which spanned several hundred li,
a middle-aged man, sitting cross-legged in a pavilion surrounded by rich Spiritual Qi, his face obscured by the dense mist and his aura unfathomable, opened his eyes and murmured:
"I didn’t expect that fellow Sikong Zheng’s new disciple would come here. To reach the True Martial Fourth Layer at such a young age... he has a chance to reach Tongxuan before he’s a hundred!"
"Those fellows from the Sea Race have been getting restless again lately..."
...
「Time flew by.」
Gu Yun was currently in closed-door cultivation inside a Spiritual Energy Chamber.
As he continuously circulated the Nine Tribulations Gang Thunder Tribulation technique, the extremely pure Spiritual Power from the Middle Grade Spirit Stones was drawn into his meridians.
He ran it through a full Circulation, constantly converting the Spiritual Power into True Yuan, his aura growing stronger drop by drop.
Arcs of thunder flickered around his body, filling the dim Spiritual Energy Chamber with astonishing flashes of light.
「One month later.」
After he had completely consumed all the Middle Grade Spirit Stones and the remaining True Spirit Pills,
Gu Yun’s eyes snapped open. They flashed like lightning, a bolt of Thunder streaking past, so sharp it seemed to pierce the heavens!
At the same time, an extremely powerful momentum erupted from him. Like a tsunami, it created massive waves in the void, battering the surrounding space!
’I broke through!’
True Martial Fourth Layer Middle Stage.
Feeling the vast, surging True Yuan roiling within his body,
Gu Yun felt an irrepressible joy rise in his heart at the sudden increase in his True Essence Power!
But soon, Gu Yun began his grand undertaking of producing Alchemy resources.

...
「Half a month later.」
Gu Yun left his seclusion and went to a Wanbao Trading Company in Xingguang City. The entire pavilion was not only magnificently constructed but was also adorned with White Jade carvings,
inlaid with strange stones, and had a golden gate that shimmered with Spiritual Qi. It had an impressive air. Above it all was a couplet.
Top line: Every Cultivation Technique and Technique imaginable.
Bottom line: Every Elixir and Talisman under the sun.
