In half a day’s time, Chu Ming had completely refined the Flame Fruit. Inside him, the spiritual power was pure and copious, as vast as an ocean, and his cultivation had unexpectedly reached the pinnacle of True Dao Sixth Layer. Chu Ming slowly opened his eyes, two beams of bright light shooting out from them like lightning, darting around in the void, extremely terrifying. Huff! Chu Ming gently exhaled a breath of foul air and slowly stood up. A sharp aura burst from his body, directly piercing through the chamber, sending fragments of stone flying. Although his cultivation had only increased from True Dao Sixth Layer to the peak of True Dao Sixth Layer, Chu Ming’s strength had increased by twenty percent. If he were to compete with the Burning Fire Elder now, he wouldn’t have to struggle as he did before. Rather than choosing to continue his closed-door training, Chu Ming went to the peak of Snow Peak to practice the fourth technique of the Yin Wave Palm. The fourth technique of the Yin Wave Palm stacked eighty-one layers of palm force. Once mastered, it could double Chu Ming’s destructive power in a short amount of time. Palm seals flew through the air, sounding like a violent wind howling, blowing the snow on the ground into fine powder. During the day, Chu Ming practiced the Yin Wave Palm, and at night he used middle-grade spirit stones to increase his cultivation. As for upper-grade spirit stones, Chu Ming couldn’t use them yet. To cultivate with upper-grade spirit stones, he would need to wait until his cultivation reached the Guiyuan Realm; otherwise, it would backfire. On the morning of the third day, while Chu Ming was practicing the Yin Wave Palm at the peak of Snow Peak, Wang Qi hurriedly ran up from below. "Sir, the ancestor of the Martial Extreme Sect, Ji Tian Sanren, along with the strongmen of the sect, have arrived at Snow Peak Hall." Wang Qi cupped his fists in salute, saying respectfully while looking at Chu Ming with some admiration. The Martial Extreme Sect had arrived; with the exclusion of Burning Fire Valley, two of the four sects of the Great Yan Kingdom were here. "You may go." Chu Ming said calmly, showing no intention of going to meet Ji Tian Sanren. Knowing his place, Wang Qi did not ask more and turned to leave the peak of Snow Peak. Snow Peak Hall. The group from the Martial Extreme Sect sat in their chairs, their faces somewhat gloomy, looking at the person seated at the head. He was a burly man with a fierce aura emanating from him. His closed eyes seemed to hide the explosion of sword aura, making anyone who looked at him feel a shiver down their spine. This person was none other than Ji Tian Sanren. "Ancestor, Chu Ming is too arrogant! It’s been an hour, and there’s still no sign of him. He doesn’t take our Martial Extreme Sect seriously at all!" The sect leader of the Martial Extreme Sect, Li Tianyuan, complained. "Shut up! Do you want to push our Martial Extreme Sect into a pit of destruction?" Ji Tian Sanren’s face darkened, his gaze sharp. Though occupying a high position for many years, he felt somewhat aggrieved to be treated with such disrespect now. However, power determines stance. Snow Peak’s strength had significantly increased, capable of destroying any sect, forcing him to take this seriously. In fact, the person he feared most on Snow Peak was Cyan Yang Sect’s Ku Bu Rong. In the battle of Burning Fire Valley, Ku Bu Rong had made a stunning entrance, directly killing the Black Flame Elder with one move, showcasing his formidable strength. Moreover, Ku Bu Rong had a deep relationship with Chu Ming. If Martial Extreme Sect did not make a statement now, they might give Chu Ming an excuse to eliminate them. "Brother Ji Tian, you came really early!" At this moment, a clear laugh came from outside the hall, followed by a tall figure in a white robe, cold and imposing - it was Chu Ming. "Haha, Lord Chu, I came this time to discuss the unification of the four sects with you!" Ji Tian Sanren forced a laugh, quickly standing up from his chair, speaking lightly. At the same time, a trace of apprehension flashed in his eyes. He had heard that during the battle of Burning Fire Valley, Chu Ming was seen killing the Elder of Burning Fire with his own eyes. Despite his own strength, he was only on par with the Elder of Burning Fire. Naturally, he didn’t dare to put on airs in front of Chu Ming. "As for the unification of the four sects, we must wait for the other two sects to arrive before discussing it. For now, you and the others from the Martial Extreme Sect can stay on Snow Peak." Chu Ming said lightly, glancing at Wang Qi, who instantly understood and walked over to Ji Tian Sanren, gesturing with his right hand. Without changing his expression, Ji Tian Sanren led the elders of the Martial Extreme Sect to the palace behind Snow Peak. After an incense stick of time, Wang Qi returned, cupping his fists respectfully to Chu Ming, "Sir, Cyan Nether Mountain and Celestial Star Sect have not arrived yet." "Wait a little longer; we must give them a chance." Chu Ming said calmly. It must be said that as his strength increased, his mindset was changing. The five sects, once imposing in his eyes, were now equals with him. "Yes, Sir!" Wang Qi respectfully withdrew, leaving Chu Ming alone in the hall. He watched the disciples of Snow Peak coming and going, presenting a thriving scene. Half a day passed as a white shadow descended sharply from the sky above Snow Peak. When it landed, the disciples of Snow Peak realized what had happened. The white shadow was a white sailcloth, with dozens of silhouettes standing on it. Leading them was an old man in black. The old man wore black clothes and carried a long blue saber on his back. In his eyes, sword aura shimmered, constantly turning into auroras darting through the air. He was the Celestial Star Elder. The sect leader of Celestial Star Sect, Liu Tianxing, stood respectfully behind the Celestial Star Elder, looking at him with eager anticipation. Swish! A white flash swept by. When the wind and smoke cleared, Chu Ming had already appeared before the Celestial Star Elder. "Lord Chu!" The Celestial Star Elder cupped his fists, bowing slightly. "Brother Celestial Star, let’s discuss this in the hall." Chu Ming extended his right arm in a guiding gesture, and the Celestial Star Elder nodded, following Chu Ming towards Snow Peak Hall. Looking at Chu Ming, the Celestial Star Elder couldn’t help but feel contemplative. Among the geniuses of Chu Ming’s generation, Chu Ming was undoubtedly the most outstanding, a fact even he had to admit. Had Chu Ming been in his generation, his brilliance would have been just as overshadowing. While the Celestial Star Zi of Chu Ming’s generation was excellent, he was only at True Dao Third Layer. As for combat power, the difference was vast. Entering the hall, Chu Ming glanced at the people of Celestial Star Sect and said lightly, "Cyan Nether Mountain hasn’t arrived yet; as for the matter of unifying the four sects, it has to wait." "No rush, we can wait on Snow Peak for a few days, as long as Lord Chu arranges a place for us." The Celestial Star Elder said with a smile. In fact, Celestial Star Sect had no choice but to come to Snow Peak. Without Cyan Yang Sect’s Ku Bu Rong backing Chu Ming, even if Snow Peak was powerful, Celestial Star Sect wouldn’t fear it. But with Ku Bu Rong’s support, Snow Peak had the trump card to wipe out any sect.
