Chapter 44 Nobleman Chu Tian! Defying Heaven to Change Fate!
Chu Tian entered the Freedom Palace silently, without alerting anyone. At this moment, Shi Hao was training, practicing his fist techniques by the Spiritual Lake.
The Samsara Sacred Body, with its unparalleled physique, had its strongest weapon as its own fists. So after Chu Tian gave him the “Taiqing Profound Sword Art,” before leaving the sect, he also specially left behind the “Solar Fist Manual.”
This was also an Emperor-level fist technique, created by an ancient emperor. It was said that since this ancient emperor began cultivating, his fists were his divine weapon. Legend has it that after this emperor achieved enlightenment, an extreme Daoist sacred land offended him.
They even provoked him verbally and took out a divine artifact to oppose him. As a result, this emperor didn’t hesitate—one punch shattered that ancient divine artifact. The entire extreme Daoist sacred land was reduced to ashes by that single punch. At that time, the emperor was using the “Solar Fist Manual”!
Golden blood surged through Shi Hao’s body, his form moving as he swung his fists, and behind him rose a gigantic sun phenomenon. That was the manifestation of the “Solar Fist Manual”!
With the solar phenomenon rising, Shi Hao’s power became even more terrifying. The oppressive force was overwhelming, causing even space to tremble. In wide, powerful motions, a golden blood dragon soared into the air, then dove down, circling the giant sun behind Shi Hao.
“Shi Hao’s ‘Solar Fist Manual’ has actually reached the entry level and grasped its essence—truly worthy of the Samsara Sacred Body!”
Chu Tian stood behind Shi Hao, nodding with satisfaction.
As expected of a top-tier saint-grade talent with extraordinary comprehension. An Emperor-level fist technique, yet he mastered and reached a certain realm so quickly.
Now Shi Hao had mastered three Emperor-level cultivation methods—Samsara Emperor Scripture, Taiqing Profound Sword Art, and Solar Fist Manual.
Among peers of the same level, it would be hard to find an opponent!
Even if Chu Tian fought Shi Hao on equal footing, his chance of victory wouldn’t exceed ninety percent!

…
“In just half a year, he broke through two heavens; such talent is simply monstrous!” Chu Tian nodded with satisfaction. It seemed it wouldn’t be long before he could hand over the palace master position to Shi Hao.
Moreover, he found that Shi Hao was very sensible. After cultivating the Void Turtle Breath Technique, he suppressed his own realm to the Gathering Core Realm First Heaven, creating the illusion that he hadn’t advanced for half a year.
In reality, he had already reached Gathering Core Realm Third Heaven!
What a promising disciple!
At this moment, Shi Hao retracted his fists and turned, momentarily stunned.
“Master?”
Then he happily ran up to Chu Tian and said, “Master, when did you come back?”
“Just arrived at the sect an hour ago.” Chu Tian smiled and nodded, saying, “Just now, I saw the results of your cultivation over the past six months. You’ve done very well.”
“Thank you, Master.”
Receiving praise from Chu Tian, Shi Hao was very happy. He wasn’t good with words, but deep inside he deeply admired Chu Tian.
Coming to the Free Palace and encountering this paradise-like world, he knew his master was no ordinary person. His heart was filled with profound respect!
Chu Tian glanced at the cave residence of the Lord of the Cycle Palace and said, “Why do I feel the aura of Uncle Luo?”
Shi Hao’s expression immediately turned strange. He glanced at the Lord of the Cycle Palace’s cave and lowered his voice.
“Uncle Luo has been squatting here for two months already. I don’t dare ask him to leave, but judging by his attitude, I’m afraid he’ll never want to leave, even if it takes a lifetime.”
“Is that so?”
Hearing this, Chu Tian raised an eyebrow. So he was freeloading?
He looked around and immediately noticed several precious medicinal herbs were missing! And these were all Saint-Respect-level medicines.
They were for leisure viewing, not for cultivation!
After all, at lower realms before, eating too many of this level of herbs had already made him sick of them.
But while he was away, someone had eaten them.
What would he look at in the future?
“Master, who is this?”
Shi Hao looked curiously at Xuan Qing behind Chu Tian and asked. Xuan Qing was also observing Shi Hao and immediately recognized him as a Cycle Saint Body.
He secretly glanced at Chu Tian — this so-called master — what kind of background did he have?
Just the Lord of a palace in Saint Demon Mountain?
Was it really that simple?
He doubted it. But Xuan Qing didn’t think too much; since he had already accepted Chu Tian as his master, and since the man had no ill intentions and could provide cultivation resources others couldn’t, there was no need for other thoughts.
Shi Hao’s doubt was caught by Chu Tian, who smiled slightly, stepped aside, and introduced, “This is Xuan Qing, the second disciple I took, your junior apprentice brother.”
“Xuan Qing, this is your senior apprentice brother, Shi Hao.”
Shi Hao and Xuan Qing exchanged smiles and nodded lightly in greeting.
“Junior brother Xuan Qing, hello.”
“Senior brother, you’re too polite.”
Chu Tian’s expression was calm.
“Alright, you two chat. I’m going to visit Uncle Luo to discuss life.”
With that, Chu Tian walked towards the Lord of the Cycle Palace’s cave.
“Senior brother, can the Cycle Saint Body still be cultivated in this era?”
Xuan Qing remembered that during the era of the Ancient Profound Emperor, although the Cycle Saint Body could be cultivated, the difficulty was far greater than before.
After the Ancient Profound Emperor ascended, the Heavenly Dao entered the late law era, and the rules suppressed everything, changing everything.
What should have been a quasi-Emperor level talent was now downgraded to Saint-Respect level. The once invincible Cycle Saint Body could no longer be cultivated.
Records of nearly thirty thousand years of ancient history show. Anyone trying to defy fate and cultivate the Cycle Saint Body would trigger mysterious laws and invite calamity!
In the thirty thousand years, only three Cycle Saint Bodies appeared. Without exception, when their masters forcibly extended broken paths, they triggered mysterious laws. All three died under heavenly punishment!
And Shi Hao, as the fourth, could calmly cultivate and even reached the Pill Gathering realm!
Unbelievable.
The only explanation Xuan Qing could think of was that Shi Hao had met a benefactor.
