Chapter 1069 - Harbinger of Misfortune
Liu Wuxie stood silently before the thatched hut, feeling the immense pressure radiating from the laws of the Heaven Profound Realm.
This was a rare, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Though it wouldn't trigger a breakthrough, it let him attune to the realm's laws, an experience destined for someone who would one day reach that level.
Others weren't as fortunate. Few disciples resided on Heavenly Gate Peak, and his three senior brothers were still deep in seclusion. Only Liu Wuxie stood at the summit alone.
High above, Elder Qu Su and the academy's upper echelons arrived one after another, awe etched across their faces.
"After several centuries, he's finally the one to take that step," Qu Su murmured with a sigh. "He's about to break through to the Heaven Profound Realm."
Though they were all of the same generation, Elder Madman's talent had far exceeded their own.
Had it not been for that lightning tribulation back then, he would've reached the Heaven Profound Realm centuries ago and succeeded the previous grandmaster.
For hundreds of thousands of years, the Heavenly Spirit Celestial Academy had appointed a new grandmaster every millennium.
However, in the past millennium, no one had managed to make that breakthrough until now.
Elder Madman's rise had once offered a sliver of hope. Yet, his lightning tribulation had shattered his path, and his wife had sacrificed her life in a desperate attempt to save him.
Since then, he had lived in isolation atop Heavenly Gate Peak, cutting himself off from the world.
