Compared to the last time, the Yunhua Sect has undergone some changes. The ground surrounding the city is filled with cracks, some mountain tops have disappeared or are only half remaining, part of the city wall no longer exudes its former aged aura, and is clearly newly repaired. Some house layouts are also different from the last time.

Even the mighty power of the city is not as strong as last time.

"Last time, when the Double-headed Elephant Venerable appeared, it crushed everything, almost letting that beast charge into the city!"

Ji Qingyue explained, still with a look of lingering fear. The Yunhua Sect was nearly destroyed. Fortunately, Dongfang Ye had foresight and invited experts to guard it in advance.

"Let’s rest for two days, and then I’ll go with you to slaughter this beast!" Wei Fan’s eyes were filled with an icy gleam.

Ji Qingyue nodded, "Alright!"

"Wei Fan, my young friend, your return brings radiance to Yunhua Sect!"

Even before flying to Yunhua Sect, Dongfang Ye’s hearty voice rang out as he flew personally out of the city to welcome Wei Fan.

Compared to the last visit here, Wei Fan’s identity and strength have undergone earth-shattering changes, even an elder like Dongfang Ye doesn’t dare to neglect him.

Not only did he personally come out to welcome, but all Divine Realm Martial Sect experts within Yunhua Sect appeared, using the highest etiquette.

"How could I trouble a senior to welcome me!"

The group landed at the Sect Leader’s Hall of Yunhua Sect, and soon someone offered tea.

"Wei Fan!"

Long time no see, Demon Hunter Cyan Bird was also at Yunhua Sect, though Li Qingmeng was not seen.

After some conversation, Ji Qingyue started talking about Ning Xiaoye.

Although she brought Xiaoye to Yunhua Sect, she didn’t want to take him as a disciple herself and directly handed him over to Dongfang Ye.

At first, Dongfang Ye did not immediately agree, but after carefully assessing Xiaoye’s aptitude, he readily agreed. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

According to him, Xiaoye’s aptitude was even better than Ji Qingyue’s, teaching such a disciple would require very little effort.

Finally, he decided to hold a mentorship ceremony in two days, inducting Ning Xiaoye into Yunhua Sect; as for Ning Xiaoye’s background and identity, Ji Qingyue informed Dongfang Ye.

[Golden Body·Sixth Forging (100%)]

[Ordinary Power: 194,000 years]

[Golden Body Power: 500 years]

"The cultivation can be enhanced once again!"

At night, Wei Fan opened the panel to start adding power, intending to break through to Late-stage Martial Venerable.

[One year of Golden Body Power, you begin the breakthrough to Late-stage Martial Venerable, starting the Seventh Forging of the Golden Body, enhancing your Golden Body]

[Four years of Golden Body Power, your Seventh-Layer Golden Body Forging is 1% complete]

...

"The Golden Body Power required for forging the Golden Body has doubled again!"

Wei Fan slightly frowned, the Golden Body’s Seventh Forging needed twice the amount of Golden Body Power during the breakthrough to Late-stage Martial Venerable, something unexpected yet expected.

Last time it doubled, he thought it was due to cultivating the Seven-Colored Golden Body; it seems that’s not the case. In Mid-Martial Venerable stage, the Golden Body Power required will double, and it will double again in Late-stage Martial Venerable.

...

[Golden Body·Seventh Forging (100%)]

[Ordinary Power: 194,000 years]

[Golden Body Power: 100 years]

Finally, the Golden Body Seventh Stage Perfection was achieved, the panel paused, and Wei Fan carefully felt the surge of power within; instantly feeling the doubling of Golden Body Power was worth it.

Even though Martial Venerable Powerhouses enjoy a lifespan of thousands of years, many people’s lives stop at the Fifth or Sixth Forging of the Golden Body, as the forging becomes increasingly difficult, and concurrently stronger as it progresses.

The boundless Blood Qi, with power almost overflowing from the chest cavity, made Wei Fan feel invigorated and unable to sleep.

He knew it was because the power had surged too much, making it difficult to adjust immediately.

He began adding ordinary power cultivation to adapt to the surge, only sleeping after fully adjusting to the increased power.
