Chapter 1031: How Was It Possible?

Dong Qitian's gaze was still full of doubt when the Emerald Cloud Pill was delivered straight into the children's mouths.

It was when the lifeblood was fully exploding and the mystical Qi was completely triggered to rush after the breakthrough that Dong Qitian, who stood by the door, felt a powerful force erupting instantly. The surprise almost flung him away.

Although the force was vigorous, it was not more than a glancing blow to Dong Qitian. However, he was stunned.

His mind was blank.

How was it possible that the medicinal potency was this powerful?

A veteran like Dong Qitian could comprehend this immediately after only a beat of suspicion.

The medicinal potency!

The medicinal efficacy!

Every heaven and earth treasure that Yun Yang had given him looked all too perfect!

What if their medicinal properties and potency far exceeded the norm as well?

He had still measured and rationed the treasures according to the normal standards when he was refining the medicinal pills. Of course, the final efficacy would be greater than expected...

Dong Qitian immediately turned pale. This was disastrous.

All ten disciples would most probably not make it out alive. Would he have to be the one who killed these children with his own hands in the end?

Dong Qitian's thoughts were scattered, but he could not intervene. His cultivation base was excellent, he could fight all of the Demiurge-Flawed Ten as well as Yun Yang with one hand, but the current situation was not something a proficient cultivation base could solve.

Once the breakthrough attempt failed, Dong Qitian could do nothing, even if he were a deity.

Right as Dong Qitian began to berate himself in grief, he suddenly felt the mystical Qi regain momentum and shoot higher, catapulting away with a sudden explosion... Things then went back to a state of peace and quiet, leaving behind a soft but dense energy that kept binding into itself, continuously being strengthened...

Was it a success?

Dong Qitian's despair turned into astonishment. The shock overcame him in waves.

How was - how was it possible?

Even if it were the Emerald Cloud Pills painstakingly refined by the Ultimate Heaven Sect previously, it was already fortunate that two out of ten could succeed. Moreover, the Emerald Cloud Pills Yun Yang had requested him to cultivate this time was more powerful. How could there be a full success rate?

This was irrelevant to one's talent and gift.

All the subjects ingesting the medicinal pills began at the same starting line. Other than determination and hard work, providence was also a part - perhaps a major part - in the final accomplishment, as a tiny difference was lethal. There was no avoiding it!

However, what was the current situation? Could he be in a dream? How else could there be such a life?

Dong Qitian was utterly baffled; rare was the occasion that would question life...

The powerful aura above the Central Peak's hall slowly calmed down and began to gather into globules.

Dong Qitian was further shocked by this development.

This was the sign of the disciples regaining consciousness and beginning to control their mystical Qi, getting used to their strength... The masters should be withdrawing their mystical Qi from the disciples gently at this point in time... The process was normal, but could it be so fast?

Could Dong Qitian be wrong, all the way, about his knowledge gained in the Ultimate Heaven Sect?!

How could it be? How could it be?

...

After a lengthy duration, the Residence of Nine Supremes' eleven top brass sat at their positions in the hall. Standing in front of them were the top ten disciples who had cleaned and dressed neatly; each of them looked enthusiastic, their gazes at their master, senior and junior uncles were brimming with respect and admiration.

"We thank master's kindness!"

Sun Mingxiu, the eldest disciple, called out loudly and all ten of them kneeled down in unison.

"Master's benevolence is as high as the sky and deep as the earth! This disciple shall not forget it to the end of life!"

They performed the ritual of three rounds of kneeling and nine kowtows.

Shi Wuchen and others accepted the ritual, looking comforted. It was a joy to watch their disciples finally grow and bloom. All of them nodded with smiles.

Yun Yang finally spoke out, "Alright, all of ten of you go clean the places you've dirtied right now! Your junior siblings will have made it smell worse than a pigsty..."

The children could not help the laughter that escaped them.

Their usually strict Lead Supreme was actually joking with them now. It was a first in their lifetime.

"This disciple obeys!"

The cleaning was completed after a short while. After all, they were Supreme Acme cultivators. Cleaning a few rooms was only a matter of minutes. Sun Mingxiu, who was extremely meticulous had even checked each meditation room again to ensure that there was, no longer any stench detected before rinsing the rooms lastly with his mental capacity, sweeping away any remaining mental force that was left inside.

"This disciple shall leave now with the others if Lead Supreme has no more instructions."

"Go. Recuperate your meridians and familiarize yourselves with this new force. What you have to do now is learn to control and secure the current foundation!" said Yun Yang, "Then train with lots of battle! Practice among yourselves again and again! Do you all understand?"

"We understand. We shall not be lazy."

Looking at the disciples' glowing and impatient gazes, Yun Yang knew that they would train their hardest even without his reminder. He believed that it would not take too long for them to thoroughly master this massive and unfamiliar strength.

During then, Dong Qitian was still stood at the door staring at the hall like a dummy. Disbelief was all his eyes wore!

Thumping footsteps came unexpectedly.

There was no doubt that Dong Qitian would snort hearing them because the footsteps signified that the owners making these noises were yet to be able to control their power and rhythm after a huge leap of cultivation base advancement, causing each of their steps to be heavy like a moving mountain.

To a masterly expert like Dong Qitian, one should swiftly adjust their condition and compose themselves after a cultivation base breakthrough. How could they show such a state before others asking to be laughed at!

In spite of it, Dong Qitian had no intention to scoff right now, because he immediately thought of the source of these footsteps!

Looking over to where the noises were coming from, who else could it be if not for the Residence of Nine Supremes' top disciple, Sun Mingxiu, who was the first to step out of the hall.

Sun Mingxiu was handsome as usual, looking fresh and tall with thick, raven hair. However, his usually gentle eyes were tinged with sharpness. Although he had walked out with clumsily heavy steps, his movement was still graceful.

This was a composure unique to the eldest senior brother. Even during such a time, it was no different from the past.
