My All-Heavens Chat Group

She could understand their disbelief in Divine Spirits. But their attitude irritated her somewhat.

At Zhu Yuyan's fury, everyone felt trepidation, immediately kneeling on the ground.

Elder Wen Caiting hastily said, "Sect Leader, forgive us! The talk of Divine Spirits is ethereal and indeed hard for people to believe."

"And for the Sect Leader to break through to the 18th Layer of the Heavenly Demon Technique, it must involve an earth-shattering secret. We dare not pry into it, and there's no need for you to tell us."

"Elder Wen, the Divine Spirit I speak of is the supreme God of Hongmeng, a being both real and magnificent!"

Zhu Yuyan explained briefly, without expecting them to believe her just like that, and ordered, "Go and summon all the disciples of the sect; I will explain it to you again!"

"Yes, Sect Leader."

Wen Caiting had not heard of the God of Hongmeng and was unclear what Zhu Yuyan was hinting at, but she did not hesitate and immediately went down to gather the disciples.

Shangshang and the other Elders and disciples were equally puzzled, but they did not ask any questions.

「Soon.」

The disciples of the Yin Gui Sect arrived, a few hundred in number.

Of course, the number of disciples in the Yin Gui Sect was not limited to these; many were scattered in various places. If the outer sect disciples were also included, the number would be even more terrifying.

"Greetings to the Sect Leader."

The several hundred disciples bowed in unison.

Ninety percent of the Yin Gui Sect's disciples were female, whose cultivation techniques made them enchantingly voluptuous and ravishingly graceful.

Seeing several hundred disciples together, they indeed appeared like a hundred flowers blooming, a spectacular sight to behold.

Zhu Yuyan's eyes swept over the crowd, her heart brimming with boundless pride. The Yin Gui Sect was finally about to rise. From this day forward, her sect would undergo a transformation, stepping into a brand new world, a brand new future.

Her body slowly ascended, surrounded by the Heavenly Demon Field, floating in mid-air like a Heavenly Immortal.

"HISS!"

All disciples and Elders widened their eyes in amazement. Zhu Yuyan's move was shockingly unorthodox. Floating three feet off the ground without support—could this be achieved by Qinggong?

Great Grandmasters were indeed strong, capable of leaping tens of meters or even treading on rivers, but they still needed something to rely on.

Treading on rivers utilized the force of the water.

But this act of floating in the air, standing firmly without any support...

It truly stole Nature's essence, and it was definitely not merely the work of a newly ascended Great Grandmaster!

Zhu Yuyan paid no attention to their thoughts and declared loudly, "Today I have summoned all of you here for three announcements!"

"These matters concern the futures of each and every one of you, as well as the future of the Yin Gui Sect. I hope you will listen carefully, taking it not just in through your ears, but into your hearts!"

Zhu Yuyan spoke with an authoritative and solemn voice.

"Yes, Sect Leader!"

Everyone's demeanor turned serious, focusing intently, surprise and curiosity in their hearts.

Some knew that Zhu Yuyan had made a breakthrough. Others did not. Each had their own thoughts.

Zhu Yuyan continued, "Firstly, I've received patronage from the great God of Hongmeng. Not only did I achieve Perfection in the Heavenly Demon Technique, but I also broke through to an unprecedented 19th Layer, reaching Half Step Void Shattering in Cultivation Level!"

"What? Patronage from a Divine Spirit?"

"Perfect Mastery of the Heavenly Demon Technique? And broke through to the unprecedented 19th Layer?"

"Half Step Void Shattering?"

Everyone was stunned.

Those with greater power were even more shocked.

They understood very well what the 19th Layer of the Heavenly Demon Technique represented.

It was indeed unprecedented.

It surpassed all the previous sages of the Yin Gui Sect.

"Sect Leader, did you truly cultivate the Heavenly Demon Technique to the unprecedented 19th Layer?" Wen Caiting, as a veteran of the Yin Gui Sect, was acutely aware of the Heavenly Demon Technique's strength and difficulty. She asked incredulously.

"What, do you think I'm deceiving you?"

Zhu Yuyan unleashed the aura of Half Step Void Shattering and the 19th Layer of the Heavenly Demon Technique, covering a hundred-meter radius with the Heavenly Demon Field.

「In no time at all.」

Everyone felt as if they had fallen into a frigid abyss, as if a great mountain weighed down on their backs, rendering them immobile.

Even Grandmaster-level fighters like Wen Caiting felt stuck in a mire, unable to move.

The gap was too wide.

So that's how it is!

No wonder the Sect Leader is so powerful. It's not just the 18th Layer of the Heavenly Demon Technique, barely breaking through to Great Grandmaster as we assumed.

But the unprecedented 19th Layer of the Heavenly Demon Technique, Half Step Void Shattering!

Wen Caiting and the others felt the terror of Zhu Yuyan's power. Although they found it hard to believe, they were forced to accept the truth.

Zhu Yuyan's strength was indeed far beyond that of an ordinary Great Grandmaster.

After confirming Zhu Yuyan had reached the Half Step Void Shattering state, everyone felt as if a massive surprise had struck them on their heads—they were excited, thrilled, euphoric.

"Congratulations, Sect Leader, for the grand achievement of divine power, uniting the martial world, undefeated under the heavens!"

All of them offered their congratulations in unison.

If a Great Grandmaster Zhu Yuyan could lead the Yin Gui Sect further, perhaps even uniting the Holy Gate, then a Half Step Void Shattering Zhu Yuyan could lead them to unify the martial world. She could utterly defeat Cihang Temple and even influence the dynamics of the entire world.

This would accomplish their Yin Gui Sect's ultimate goal: women dominating the world.

It was a goal that the predecessors of the Yin Gui Sect had striven for but never truly achieved.

Now, it was very likely to be fulfilled by their hands.

What glory would that be?

What accomplishment would that be?

What great feat would that be?

They too would be recorded in history, their fame enduring through the ages.

"The 19th Layer of the Heavenly Demon Technique is nothing, even Breaking the Void is nothing. One day you all will reach it too!"

Zhu Yuyan had seen the greatness of the God of Hongmeng, had witnessed the rewards garnered by the public chat group through preaching and sacrifices, and her mentality and vision had changed.

She had seen a higher and vaster world.

She had seen grander seas, so mere rivers no longer impressed her.

"???"

Upon hearing this, everyone was perplexed.

What did that mean? After all, the Heavenly Demon Technique was only for the Sect Leader and the high-ranking to cultivate. Even if they could all cultivate it, how could they possibly reach the 18th, let alone the 19th Layer? It's not like they were all Zhu Yuyan.

"Sect Leader, do you really intend to let all the sect's disciples practice the Heavenly Demon Technique?" Wen Caiting asked seriously.

This matter was of great importance, and she had to confirm whether Zhu Yuyan was merely speaking offhand or truly intended to do so.

"Indeed, the Heavenly Demon Technique is nothing, because I met a Divine Spirit and received the divine power and marvelous techniques it bestowed, allowing me to break through to Half Step Void Shattering and master the 19th Layer of the Heavenly Demon Technique!" Zhu Yuyan said.

"What? A Divine Law bestowed?"

"Could there really be Divine Spirits?"

The crowd exclaimed in shock, for it wasn't the first time Zhu Yuyan had mentioned Divine Spirits.

At first, they didn't believe it.

But Zhu Yuyan had changed too much.

Doubt began to rise in their hearts.

Could there really be Divine Spirits in this world? If Zhu Yuyan had received a Divine Law, it would definitely be a hundred or a thousand times more precious than the Heavenly Demon Technique, and it might even be the method for immortality. That's why Zhu Yuyan disdained the Heavenly Demon Technique and allowed them all to practice it—it made sense.

Although still somewhat skeptical, Zhu Yuyan had repeated it so many times, and they couldn't just dismiss her claims outright. They might as well believe in the existence of Divine Spirits. So they congratulated her in unison:

"Congratulations, Sect Leader, for the favor of the Divine Spirits, for the joy of an immortal opportunity, undefeated under the heavens!"

"You are all the elite of the Yin Gui Sect. If I have received an immortal opportunity, naturally, you won't be left out!"

Zhu Yuyan started to speak slowly, with excitement, "Now, follow me in reciting the God's Wonderful Law bestowed by the great God of Hongmeng!"

"Remember, the more devout your heart is, the more divine grace you receive, and the greater your increase in Cultivation Level."

Zhu Yuyan reminded them. If these people took her words to heart, they would surely gain tremendous benefits and see explosive growth in their cultivation levels.

These people would also become her closest followers.

If someone was not devout, it meant they took her words lightly and were insincere in their obedience.

Such people would be pushed to the margins.

"Yes, Sect Leader!"

Everyone was excited. The God's Wonderful Law bestowed by Divine Spirits! Whether it was real or not, who knew. But Zhu Yuyan said it in front of everyone. If it didn't work, wouldn't it be a huge embarrassment? Even if it wasn't God's Wonderful Law, it was surely a supreme divine technique.

"Open the gateway to Hongmeng..."

Zhu Yuyan, fervid and devout, began to recite.

Wen Caiting was full of doubts as she recited along. Is there really a Divine Spirit? If there is, would Zhu Yuyan be so generous as to pass the God's Wonderful Law, bestowed by the Divine Spirit, on to us?

Shangshang took a stealthy glance at Zhu Yuyan, chose to believe her, and started to recite with sincerity. My master would not deceive me. And given Master's devotion and such a great change, there's a nine out of ten chance that Divine Spirits truly exist!
