"It's here!"

"It's starting."

Young prodigies from the various sects of the Eleven State of the Cold North Path, all Inner Sect top talents, no matter where they were or what they were doing, almost all put down what they were holding and simultaneously looked up at the sky.

Watching the gradually changing phenomena in the sky, many took a deep breath and began to make their moves.

Accompanied by the rolling and surging Cloud Sea.

Numerous Sect Disciples, crossing the highland, arrived at the foot of Yunni Sky Peak. Although the gathering was large, with hundreds of people, and each one was at least among the best within the Bone Tempering Realm, compared to the towering Yunni Sky Peak piercing the clouds and reaching into the sky, they still amounted to nothing, and their aura submerged at the foot of the mountain was hardly noticeable.

Before reaching the middle peak, the Yunni Sky Peak could be ascended from all sides, but after reaching the middle peak, there remained only one path... It wasn't that other places were unclimbable, but at that altitude, the pressure from the power of Heaven and Earth became extremely strong, turning those steep cliffs extremely difficult to climb, leaving only one path that could lead to the peak most easily.

At this moment.

As time passed, various groups from different sects gathered at the base of the peak, spreading out at various points at the foot of the vast Yunni Sky Peak, with the group from the Seven Profound Sect led by Zhou Hao gathering at the foot of the northern side of the peak.

Aside from Chen Mu, almost all the True Disciples from the seven peaks were present, including outstanding Bone Tempering Realm cultivators from peaks like Spirit Profound Peak's Linghu Shang, Shen Lin, and others. Although it was very difficult for them to reach the top of the peak, merely climbing to the Upper Peak and crossing the Cloud Sea would allow them to comprehend the Power of Heaven and Earth, which was still a significant encounter for them, all holders of the Artistic Conception.

The Cloud Sea roiled.

The sky darkened and the earth dimmed.

Suddenly, a sound resembling thunder exploded in the sky, and then it was seen — the Cloud Sea that had enveloped Yunni Sky Peak suddenly began to part here and there, gradually revealing the entire majestic Yunni Sky Peak to everyone!

The fierce sunlight also finally shone through the opened fissures of the Cloud Sea onto the foot of Yunni Sky Peak.

Almost at that moment.

Several tiny figures, in comparison to Yunni Sky Peak resembling ants, either leapt or ran toward the towering peak to climb.

Among them, one person was enveloped in sword light, appearing like a Heavenly Sword, climbing along Yunni Sky Peak, with overwhelming Sword Intent suppressing everything in the world as if to sever the heavens.

It was Zuo Qianqiu of the Heavenly Sword Sect, ranked first among the rising stars!

Following closely behind.

Another thick and profound aura surged forth as Yuan Yingsong, carrying his Spirit Weapon, the Eight Desolates Halberd, ascended the peak, each leap spanning more than ten yards, driving his great halberd into the rock face of the clouds, constantly moving upwards.

From various other directions, figures such as Mysterious Heavenly Sect's Xuan Gang, Hehuan Sect's Hua Nongyue, Ice Extreme Palace's Han Cang... one peerless prodigy after another listed on the list of rising stars, were all one step ahead, climbing towards the Upper Peak amidst the disturbance of the Cloud Sea.

"Let's go."

Zhou Hao also glanced at the people of the Seven Profound Sect, then his entire figure leaped toward the upper reaches of Yunni Sky Peak.

Many True and other Inner Sect Disciples behind him also began to move upwards.

Yunni Sky Peak was extremely high and also immensely broad.

The many Inner and True Disciples, with mixed levels of cultivation, quickly widened the gap between each other after starting the climb. Those of the Bone Tempering Realm, after climbing several hundred feet, gradually started feeling the pressure and had to begin looking for more suitable paths to climb, unable to continue leaping upwards.

Meanwhile, many True Disciples who had stepped into the Five Viscera Realm were pulling ahead. After reaching an elevation of over a thousand yards, they began to feel some pressure and continued climbing while seeking more suitable paths.

As for top talents like Zuo Qianqiu and Yuan Yingsong, they quickly surpassed the two thousand yard middle peak.

At this time.

At a certain point at the base of Yunni Sky Peak.

Chen Mu looked up at the parting Cloud Sea, engulfed as if submerging into the murmur of the shifting Heaven and Earth. When he eventually came back to his senses, he saw the clouds covering Yunni Sky Peak gradually sinking like they were slowly descending.

"Yin rises and Yang descends, Yang blooms while Yin fades."

"Just like the rising and falling tides, the cycle of Yin and Yang, the Strength of Qian Heaven accumulates until it can no longer be held, changing from Yang to Yin, hence descending… It's the turbulence of this Cloud Sea that happens every five years."

A multitude of insights flashed through his eyes, yet he no longer continued to delve deeper into them. Instead, he glanced at the towering Yunni Sky Peak and then took a step forward, his entire body ascending along a ridge up the mountain.

In almost no time, he had passed those Sect Disciples from various sects who had already been climbing for a while, and not long after, he reached the middle peak of Yunni Sky Peak, continuing to ascend along a ridge line.

At this moment.

With each section climbed.

Chen Mu could feel the flow and variation of the Power of Heaven and Earth becoming more vivid before his eyes.

The recent turbulence in the Cloud Sea seemed to have torn a layer of barrier between Heaven and Earth, allowing the Qiankun Eight Phases, and the flow of Yin Yang to present themselves more clearly to the eyes, and the higher he went, the clearer it became.

Chen Mu thus made his way upward slowly, his eyes sometimes having insights, sometimes appearing puzzled, and sometimes seemingly illuminated by a flash of intuition. No matter how his expression seemed absent-minded, every step he took was firmly climbing higher, never missing a step.

Vast and boundless, as if riding the wind through the void, without knowing where it will end.
