Chapter 449: Chapter 446: Great Grandmaster

```html

Chu Zhiyuan was completely unaware of these things. Although he could perceive a range of three thousand meters, he did not release his Super Sense.

All his spirit was focused on cultivating the Kunlun Visualization Map.

When he became tired and irritable, he would relax by refining a sword.

The Blood Purification Technique operated ceaselessly, and the Thunder Sword had already developed eight meridians, progressing rapidly.

With eight meridians, the speed and power of the Thunder Sword increased by another thirty percent.

The current might of the Thunder Sword already far surpassed that of the Flying Knife.

As the Kunlun Visualization Map became increasingly clearer, it gradually became three-dimensional.

From a single image, it transformed into a real mountain.

The mythical Kunlun Mountain seemed to step into reality.

The profound and majestic aura of Kunlun Mountain began to emerge in his mind and surge within his body.

Chu Zhiyuan inexplicably realized that this aura was fundamental.

His spirit lifted, seeing hope, so he continued the relentless practice of the Visualization Method without sleep.

The Heavenly Yuan Technique and Earth Origin Technique supplemented his spirit, and the Spirit Summoning Talisman performed, letting the Eternal Spirit Divine Tree lend him a hand.

He had utterly forgotten about time.

In his tireless and sleepless cultivation, three days had already passed.

Three days had passed without any disturbances.

The news that Chu Qingyan and three Great Grandmasters were stationed at the Prince Qing Mansion had also spread.

This was intentional on his part.

Those Evil Sect Great Grandmasters were fearless, but they still needed to ensure a success rate.

To send themselves to their deaths without reason was unworthy.

At the very least, it would be more effective to wait until the four Grandmasters withdrew before striking.

Li Hongzhao, hearing this news, increasingly sensed something unusual.

Unable to resist, she ascended to the Bright Moon Tower, gazing afar from on high.

Although she could not see the situation at the Prince Qing Mansion, she could discern the general idea.

Su Qiuyan was still engrossed in reading a scroll and had not much to say upon seeing her.

...

As the aura of the mountain grew stronger, the scene before his eyes gradually changed.

A dense fog appeared before him, within which a grand gate faintly emerged.

Chu Zhiyuan’s spirit was invigorated.

This should be the Gate of the Great Grandmaster.

He continued to visualize, continuing to gather the mountain’s aura, gradually dispersing the dense fog.

Another two days passed, and the fog dispersed.

A pitch-black gate like iron clearly appeared, located at the Yujing area.

All Gang Qi poured into this gate.

Under the constant impact of Gang Qi, the color of the gate gradually faded until it turned white, then transparent, and finally dissipated with a roar.

At the moment of dispersal, brilliant light erupted.

The endless Gang Qi suddenly transformed.

Mind and Gang Qi further merged, as if becoming one entity.

The Gang Qi had transformed into Spiritual Energy.

A brilliant light spread before his eyes, and then he discovered a golden tower appearing at his brow.

Three inches between his brows, looking inward, a nine-layered golden tower shone brightly.

Overhead at the Prince Qing Mansion, dark clouds quickly gathered.

One moment it was clear and cloudless, the next moment, a massive black umbrella of dark clouds formed, overshadowing the Prince Qing Mansion.

This phenomenon immediately attracted people’s attention.

”Huh?”

”What’s going on?”

”Strange, strange, where is that?”

”By the Royal Mansion street? Which mansion?”

”Seems like the Prince Qing Mansion!”

”Yes, the Prince Qing Mansion!”

...

At the Bright Moon Tower, Li Hongzhao was leaning against the window, looking towards the Prince Qing Mansion.

She clearly saw this anomalous celestial phenomenon and eagerly called out, ”Mr. Su! Mr. Su!”

Su Qiuyan put down his scroll, stood up beside her, saw the anomaly, and his expression changed slightly.

”Is this a sign of reaching the Great Grandmaster level?” Li Hongzhao stared complexly at that direction, sighing.

Su Qiuyan nodded gently: ”This means stepping into the Great Grandmaster realm.”

”He truly can reach the Great Grandmaster level...” Li Hongzhao softly spoke.

Su Qiuyan said, ”It was expected he could enter, but I didn’t expect it so soon!”

The difficulty between Grandmaster and Great Grandmaster is worlds apart, yet on Chu Zhiyuan, there seems to be no difference.

There’s truly nothing more to say about it.

”Great Grandmaster...” Li Hongzhao sighed.

Su Qiuyan remained silent.

...

”Boom!”

”Boom boom...!”

Amidst the clouds, suddenly thunder sounded.

Starting from afar, as if coming from the distant horizon, drawing ever closer.

”Boom boom!”

Within the dark clouds, lightning flashed, striking the clouds like silver whips.

Outside the Prince Qing Mansion, it was clear and cloudless.

People discussed it fervently, some went to the inns to view from atop, others nearby to watch.

For miles around the mansion, everyone looked up in curiosity, chattering amongst themselves.

Song Feiqiong achieved Great Grandmaster realm at night, everyone was asleep, merely thinking the thunder was strange, never witnessing the celestial phenomenon.

Now it was morning, and the sky was clear, everyone watched it clearly.

”This is...”

”The Great Grandmaster, right?”

”The Fourth Prince broke through to the Great Grandmaster?”

...

Chu Zhiyuan sat on the bed in the Listening Waves Pavilion, feeling the further unison of his body with the world.

Inner and outer became a whole, he was the world, and the world was himself.

He knew this was an illusion, and only a temporary illusion, soon to vanish.

The Nine-layered Golden Tower shimmered brilliantly, its light penetrating the brow acupoints.

Faint strands of white gas permeated the golden tower and fused with it.

Spiritual power condensed within the golden tower, stimulated through the golden tower.

The golden tower was like an overturned funnel, as spiritual energy circulated throughout the body, it penetrated from top to bottom through this golden tower.

Spiritual energy would absorb some spiritual power, making the spiritual energy more pure.

If one wished to make spiritual energy rotate faster, purer, to advance in realm, it required breaking through this golden tower.

The golden tower resembled the previous Jade Tower and Copper Tower in shape, but was much smaller than them.

Yet in his heart, a sense of despair rose.

Inexplicably, he knew, it was impossible to break through this Nine-layered Golden Tower.

It was sturdier, more unyielding than the Jade Tower and Copper Tower.

More importantly, as spiritual power concentrated, it would become more unbreakable and steadfast.

The Grandmaster First Layer Heaven was already nearly the pinnacle, impossible to surpass.

This was a deadlock.

He slowly opened his eyes.

Half despaired, half delighted, not the wild joy experienced upon breaking through to Grandmaster.

A small sword and twelve flying knives simultaneously hovered above his head, quivering as if alive.

Now manipulating them was even more effortless and natural, with increased might.

Besides, there seemed to be no drastic changes.

This was because he had not yet thoroughly mastered the use of spiritual power.

The golden tower’s light slowly receded.

Outside, the dark clouds gradually dispersed, and the thunder vanished.

Everything that happened just now seemed like an illusion.

Li Hongzhao remained motionless, like a statue, gazing at that celestial anomaly, until the sky returned to brightness.

Su Qiuyan quietly watched her, without interference.

After a cup of tea’s time, Li Hongzhao’s aura suddenly skyrocketed, her crimson robe billowing as if blown by a fierce wind.

She slowly closed her eyes.

Su Qiuyan solemnly observed the surroundings, guarding against any intrusion.

After another cup of tea’s time, Li Hongzhao’s aura skyrocketed once more.

She leisurely opened her eyes and sighed: ”Grandmaster Perfection!”

Su Qiuyan smiled and cupped his fists: ”Congratulations to Your Highness.”

”All thanks to Chu Zhiyuan!” Li Hongzhao looked towards the Prince Qing Mansion.

Both stimulated and enlightened by the celestial phenomenon she had witnessed.

The Phoenix Cry Nine Heavens Technique advanced fiercely, propelling her cultivation to Grandmaster Perfection at an astounding speed.

...

The news of the Fourth Prince stepping into the Great Grandmaster realm swept through Yujing City like a whirlwind.

Within almost an hour, everyone in Yujing City knew of this development.
