Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

Lu Yuan smiled.

He believed that since the two forces had already come into contact with the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons, their purpose would be far from simple. It was unrealistic to think of this in a positive light, so they had to make preparations for the worst.

Of course, they did not need to consider all of that yet. First, they had to understand where the power in the clansmen of the two clans came from, and what exactly the two forces were doing.

He did not think further.

Lu Yuan returned to his room and continued familiarizing himself with the power that belonged to the Creation Immortal Realm.

But several days later, a tremendous roar rang out from the nearby courtyard.

Almost all of Mount Tai sensed it.

It was an intense pressure that surpassed ordinary Immortal Realm existences.

When the Celestial Court members saw this, their expressions changed, astonishment surfaced in their eyes.

The beast kings on Jade Emperor Peak merely glanced over after discovering this, then stopped paying attention.

Lu Yuan sensed that power as well, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

"Hahaha, I finally broke through. Grotto-Heaven Immortal, grasping the power of space and opening small worlds. Across the entire universe, among my generation, there are probably very few who can reach this realm."

Very soon, a hearty and pleased voice rang out. It was Jiang Haokong.

After being in seclusion for a long time, he had finally gone from Undying Immortal to Grotto-Heaven Immortal. And just as he had said, among the younger generation of the entire universe, including the strongest Rankers, Holy Sons, and Saintesses, Jiang Haokong could absolutely be considered among the first to become a Grotto-Heaven Immortal.

This achievement was enough for him to feel proud.

"You have only just broken through. You really do not need to be like this."

Another voice rang out. It was Jiang Ningxian. She was also a Grotto-Heaven Immortal now.

Looking at her younger brother, she seemed rather helpless. She felt that this was only the second stage of immortality. There was no reason to be so excited.

The existences they would face in the future would be exceedingly powerful. With their current realms, this was not much at all.

They had to continue growing stronger.

After hearing this, Jiang Haokong shook his head and continued, "Sister, precisely because we have reached the Grotto-Heaven Immortal Realm, we can continuously advance toward the next realm. No matter how you look at it, this is something worth celebrating."

There was nothing wrong with those words. Not everyone could go from Undying Immortal to Grotto-Heaven Immortal in such a short time.

"Congratulations."

Just as Jiang Ningxian was about to say something, a voice rang out.

It was Lu Yuan.

He smiled as he looked at the siblings before him. "You were only in seclusion for several months, yet you broke through."

Lu Yuan's words were indeed sincere. By comparison, among the Celestial Court members, no one was faster than the two siblings.

But this was also normal. They were a Holy Son and Saintess. Even in the entire universe, there were not many whose talents could compare to theirs.

"Of course. Lu Yuan, let me tell you... Wait, did you break through too?"

Jiang Haokong had just been about to respond when he sensed a mysterious aura emanating from Lu Yuan, one that surpassed a Grotto-Heaven Immortal.

Clearly, Lu Yuan had already reached the Creation Immortal Realm. And judging by the look of things, his breakthrough speed seemed even faster than Jiang Haokong's.

Immediately, Jiang Haokong froze, his eyes full of confusion.

He remembered it clearly. When Lu Yuan had been a Grotto-Heaven Immortal, he himself had reached Undying Immortal. There had been one major realm between them.

Originally, no matter what, there should still have been some possibility of catching up. Once they were in the same realm, he could at least consider himself not inferior.

Now?

Lu Yuan had taken the first step into the Creation Immortal Realm.

What did this mean?

It meant that even when he was one realm higher, Lu Yuan's cultivation speed was still much faster than his.

After hearing this, Lu Yuan immediately nodded and continued, "Mm, a few days ago."

So it's really the case? Jiang Haokong was completely speechless for a moment. He wanted to say something, but no matter what, he could not get the words out.

He suffered another blow, in every aspect. Had he known earlier, he would not have been so smug after breaking through. This was Jiang Haokong's only thought now.

In contrast, after Jiang Ningxian sensed that Lu Yuan had broken through, her face was full of joy.

She seemed even happier than when she herself had broken through, and the corners of her lips lifted. "Creation Immortal. You have taken another great step upward."

A Creation Immortal had already come into contact with a kind of rule power between heaven and earth, going one step further than Grotto-Heaven Immortal. Jiang Ningxian knew very well that even with talents like hers and her brother's, reaching this realm would not be too difficult, but it would require a very long period of time and sufficient accumulation.

Yet Lu Yuan had crossed it.

The next step was Celestial Seat Immortal. Even in the universe, such strength belonged to the ranks of top experts, second only to Starfield Lords.

She was also well aware that Lu Yuan's own battle prowess was exceedingly strong. Within the same realm, no one was his match. So now, the only ones who could threaten him were Celestial Seat Immortals or even stronger existences.

Together with all his methods, unless a Starfield Lord appeared, he could almost be said to be completely unmatched.

In this way, dealing with all kinds of future calamities would naturally become a little easier.

"It could be considered a coincidence."

Lu Yuan smiled and did not mind.

Indeed, if not for the process of fusing with the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token, which had helped him continuously comprehend all things, breaking through would not have been simple.

Afterward, he told the two siblings about what had happened recently, especially matters concerning the two forces. He suspected that they had accepted the power of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons, which was why the strength of their clansmen could increase so quickly.

Jiang Huanyun had already gone to handle this matter, and it seemed there would soon be an answer.

"The Eternals and the Ji Clan really are outrageously bold and reckless." Jiang Haokong was indignant. He truly had not expected it either.

They were clearly already among the most powerful forces in the current universe, yet they wanted to contact those beings beyond the realm.

This was as good as inviting wolves into the house. No amount of cursing such behavior would be too much.

But the matter had already happened. Saying more was useless.

"The Great Age has descended, the situation is changing, and among the countless living beings of the universe, no one can remain out of the picture."

Jiang Ningxian was also exceedingly solemn. If the two forces had not contacted those existences beyond the realm, none of this would be necessary.

Anger also filled her heart.

However Lu Yuan did not agree. In his view, even without the Eternals and the Ji Clan, the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons that should appear would still appear.

It was only because of the two forces' involvement that the matter had begun developing in an unpredictable direction.

The three did not say much more and began analyzing the current situation, as well as the objectives of the two forces.

Two days later, Jiang Huanyun returned with the latest progress. He had asked a clan that had cooperated with the Jiang Clan before to act against a certain Ji Clan Sage.

After much effort, they had finally captured that person.
