Bai Wei'er was still shocked at seeing Zhu Yi and did not respond. Although she had never thought about him again, a cultivator had a great memory. She recognized him at a glance.
Around her, her servants were shocked as well. They too had heard about Zhu Yi's feat. They had no idea why he would challenge Bai Wei'er to a duel.
A void traversing realm cultivator from the celestial ice sect heard Zhu Yi's words and came over.
"Zhu Yi. Someone as respected as yourself shouldn't stoop to bullying others."
Ever since Zhu Yi had won the fight against the soul formation realm Chaos Beast, nobody could look down on him. He was one of the most talented people in this world without a doubt.
"It is simply revenge from the past. I must duel Bai Wei'er."
Although it had been a long time and Zhu Yi had nearly even forgotten about it all, he still needed to beat up Bai Wei'er. He was getting revenge for himself of the past.
At this time, Bai Wei'er finally spoke. "I apologize for our past. I was young and rude back then. If I had known that you were so talented, I would've never been so rude. Please forgive me."
Bai Wei'er spoke in an apologetic tone, as if she had really changed and regretted her actions. However, she was literally sitting on a throne being carried by servants. Has she changed at all?
She was only speaking to him like this because of his power and talent.
"It doesn't matter even if you've changed. I have to beat you up. If you don't want to accept a duel, then I apologize in advance."
Zhu Yi stepped forward. Instant completion.
Appearing behind Bai Wei'er, he smacked her in the back of her head. Not even the void traversing realm cultivator could react.
Zhu Yi was much stronger than Bai Wei'er. Without being able to even resist, she fell face first onto the ground in front of everyone.
Seeing how she put herself above everyone else, Zhu Yi found this a fitting revenge. With that, his grudge was over.
If Bai Wei'er or the Celestial Ice Sect wanted revenge, that would be a separate matter.
Zhu Yi made a tent at the Sword Sects camp and waited for the Space Shattering realm cultivators to return. Logically, it should not be long.
However, he was disturbed before he could even rest.
"Zhu Yi. Get out here now." A male voice said.
Zhu Yi grabbed his sword and walked out of the tent.
Standing with Bai Wei'er behind him was a 10th level soul formation realm cultivator. He seemed around the same age as Zhu Yi if Zhu Yi did not use the time bubble. In other words, he was actually younger than Zhu Yi, but with a higher cultivation level.
At the very least, he was thousands of years old.
He had some arrogance in his eyes as he looked at Zhu Yi. "You insulted the entire celestial ice sect with your actions yesterday. Since you wanted a duel, here I am."
Despite knowing that Zhu Yi could fight a soul formation realm Chaos Beast, this person still came to fight him.
This could only mean that he could do the same thing. Zhu Yi didn't bother saying anything and put his hand on his sword.
He had confidence in winning no matter what this person could do. His fighting style was actually more fit for fighting humans than Chaos Beasts. After all, Chaos Beasts had extremely strong defense and two of his three greatest techniques were useless on them.
"I, Bai Xun, shall take revenge for miss Bai Wei'er." Zhu Yi's opponent announced in an arrogant fashion.
Without saying anything else, Bai Xun pointed his finger at Zhu Yi.
A giant explosion of Ice tore towards Zhu Yi at an incredibly fast speed. Everyone in the surroundings hurriedly backed away.
Zhu Yi slashed upwards. Breaking Through All Things.
The explosion of Ice was parted, leaving a clear opening between Zhu Yi and Bai Xun.
Before Zhu Yi could attack, snow began to fall. Zhu Yi instantly noticed something wrong with it, but he couldn't avoid it without leaving the battlefield.
Instead, he sheathed his sword and grabbed it. Formless sword.
Bai Xun felt a sense of danger and dodged to the side. However, this technique was once used to counter someone that could nearly be described as immortal. It was not so simple as dodging.
Despite moving quickly, Bai Xun felt a deep cut on his arm. Zhu Yi did not stop with one. Countless attacks constantly hit Bai Xun. He created a ball of ice in order to defend himself, but it was quickly cut through. He formed another, and another, and another, until Zhu Yi's thousand attacks were over.
Bai Xun's ball of ice collapsed as he panted. Zhu Yi did not give him a moment to rest and shot towards him.
At this moment, Bai Xun, covered in blood, pointed at Zhu Yi again.
"Snow coffin."
The snow had never stopped falling. Many flakes had piled on Zhu Yi, but he had put it in the back of his mind.
Now, as if they were mini bombs, each snowflake exploded with an accumulated power.
Zhu Yi was instantly trapped within a condensed "coffin" of ice spikes.
It seemed that Bai Xun had won. This was Bai Xun's special move. Something passed down to him from the Sect Master of the Celestial Ice Sect.
It was how he was able to kill a same level Chaos Beast. Without this move, he was not strong enough to win such a fight.
Zhu Yi's entire body was a bloody mess. Nearly every part of his body had been impaled. Even Zhou Fan was worried that he would die.
Zhu Yi could barely think as of now. He focused his mind onto one thing. Breaking Through All Things.
Although he could not move his body, and could not grab his sword, Breaking Through All Things was more than a sword technique. It was an ideology. With or without a sword, Zhu Yi would break through all things.
Breaking Through All Things.
Everyone was watching this battle. As Zhu Yi was trapped within the Ice coffin, there seemed to be no doubt he had lost.
Bai Wei'er was gloating, while the people from the Sword Sect were worried that Zhu Yi would die.
It was then that Zhu Yi used Breaking Through All Things.
The ice around him shattered in an instant.
Zhu Yi burst out, now a bloody mess, and grabbed his sword.
Breaking Through All Things. Instant completion.
Although Zhu Yi couldn't use Breaking Through All Things at its full strength with instant completion, it was unnecessary.
Before Bai Xun could fight back, he was sent flying away, his chest completely broken and nearly severed into two pieces.
Zhu Yi was barely standing on two feet as Bai Xun fell unconscious. He had won this duel.
Zhu Yi's favorite sight was Bai Wei'er's expression. She went from joy to horror in a second. Although he had had his revenge, he still didn't like her. It was good to see her suffer a bit.
Although the Sword Sect members didn't know much about Zhu Yi or have any connections to him aside from the sect, they still cheered when he won. It was an unexpected and astonishing finish. Even the void traversing realm cultivators couldn't see that last move.
Moments later, as if they had been waiting, space shattering realm cultivators descended from space.
Elder Chit clapped as he descended next to Zhu Yi. He helped him walk and brought him back to the Sword Sects camp.
Meanwhile, the space shattering realm cultivators from the Celestial Ice Sect looked at him coldly, though there seemed to be some surprise and admiration.
While they looked over, Elder Chit raised his hand and rubbed his thumbs on his fingers. It was a gesture that meant something about money.
A few of the Space Shattering realm cultivators from the Celestial Ice Sect seemed more downtrodden after seeing it.
Zhu Yi was brought to the Sword Sect camp and healed with many medicines, pills, and healing techniques.
It took him nearly a month to fully recover. Before seeing anyone else, he saw his master.
"You've reached the 2nd and 3rd level of the Breaking Through All Things technique in quick suggestion. You've become surprisingly talented and strong."
Zhu Yi thanked his master sincerely. Once again, he was reminded that he would be nothing without Zhou Fan.
It was unknown how far they would go, but even if he died here, Zhu Yi would still be satisfied.
"If I can attain the Dao in the morning, I can die peacefully in the evening." He mumbled.
As he stood up and left the room, he saw Elder Chit once again. "Well done. I'm proud to say that you're a member of the Sword Sect."
Zhu Yi thanked him and walked outside.
He took a breath of fresh air and looked around. Everything was normal.
Over the next few months, everyone returned. Nearing the end of the year, the Sect Master returned.
He heard about the duel and congratulated Zhu Yi.
"As expected." He said simply.
Zhu Yi didn't see much of the Sect Master of the Celestial Ice Sect.
He didn't know if he just didn't care or if he simply didn't feel the need to get involved.
Zhu Yi returned to the Sword Sect with the Sect Master. Just as he was about to enter seclusion, the Sect Master stopped him.
"Just wait a few days. If I know anything about that guy, it's that he loves to come and complain."
Zhu Yi didn't know what he was talking about, but just practiced the sword while waiting.
He focused on his new understanding of Breaking Through All Things.
Now, it was not only much stronger than before, but could be released without a sword. This was the first time that Zhu Yi realized the truth of the Breaking Through All Things Technique.
It was not only a sword technique, but an ideology. Zhu Yi asked Zhou Fan about it.
"How many levels are there to this technique?"
"There are four levels, but the fourth is harder to reach than the other ones by far." Zhou Fan answered.
"How strong is the fourth level?" Zhu Yi asked.
"If you mastered it right now, you would probably be able to fight Chen Jie at the same realm equally."
Zhu Yi was amazed. The Breaking Through All Things Technique was not a simple or weak technique at all.
Zhu Yi practiced the third level of the technique while waiting. He already knew that there was no hope of comprehending the fourth level in a short amount of time.
After just a few days, Zhu Yi was led somewhere by the Sect Master. He entered a luxurious room he had never seen before and saw three familiar people.
Bai Wei'er, Bai Xun, and the Sect Master of the Celestial Ice Sect, who he had only seen from afar.
Something about the Sect Master seemed different from everyone else Zhu Yi had ever met.
His hair was long and white and his eyes were red.
The Sect Master of the Sword Sect introduced the Sect Master of the Celestial Ice Sect.
"This is the Sect Master of the Celestial Ice Sect. He is not a human, but a race known as celestials. They were the first non-human, humanoid race in the universe."
Zhou Fan had been able to tell at a glance. It had been a long time since he had paid attention to a celestial. There were far fewer of them than humans, and among the righteous faction, there had only been a few at the god realm or above.
The Sect Master of the Celestial Ice Sect spoke. "My name is Bai Wei. Zu Nu, shouldn't you introduce your student to me."
The Sect Master of the Sword Sect, Zu Nu, snorted. "You know exactly who he is. Isn't that why you came here? What exactly do you plan to accomplish?"
Bai Wei simply smiled. "I was just curious to see such a talented person. After all, he didn't kill my son in law after defeating him. In fact, I've considered thanking him."
The Sect Master of the Sword Sect nudged Zhu Yi. "Here it comes." He whispered.
"However, he knocked out my Bai Wei'er and pushed her to the ground. This is unforgivable."
