"The Sun God Tree?"
When the congressmen heard this, they turned to look at each other, and there was a lot of discussion. "The Sun God Tree?"
Ji Jiayu was a little confused; he had never heard of this name.
"There is a sacred mountain on Paradise Island called the Sacred Sun Mountain. It is said to be the place where the sun goddess descended. There is a golden tree at the top of the mountain, called the Sun God Tree. This is the sacred tree of the Guangming Tribe and has otherworldly uses," Nie Lanxi explained from the side.
Ji Jiayu suddenly realized that the Great Prophet wanted to use the Sun God Tree to break the light barrier's isolation.
"If he goes to the Sun God Tree to promote, it will definitely attract the attention of the Light and Dark Demons, and war will likely break out at that time. So, from now on, we must be prepared for war," Lei Xiaoqing said in a timely manner.
Only then did the congressmen understand why the Great Prophet had summoned them to a meeting. The war was about to begin, and the catalyst for this war was most likely Ji Jiayu's breakthrough.
They couldn't help but look at Ji Jiayu a few more times.
He's only in his early twenties, but he's broken through from the sixth to the seventh rank, and he could actually incite an all-out war between the two races.
I must say, the world is impermanent.
After the Great Prophet and Lei Xiaoqing each shared some details of their preparations, the meeting ended, and the members of parliament dispersed. Lei Xiaoqing also had to make pre-war preparations, leaving only the Great Prophet, Ji Jiayu, and Nie Lanxi in the parliament hall.
"Your purpose this time is primarily to use the Holy Radiance Orb to disrupt the source of the Light Barrier, thereby disrupting the Light Barrier, giving us a chance to seize the initiative. The source of the Light Barrier is called the Heart of the Light God, left over from a great god of our clan thousands of years ago. As for how to disrupt it, I don't know, but after you break through to the seventh rank, you'll know. This time, you and Nie Lanxi are entering the City of Light and Darkness. It's extremely dangerous. If you don't think it's possible, then turn back..."
In the next ten minutes, the Great Prophet talked extensively with Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi, all about their plans for entering the City of Light and Darkness this time.
The Great Prophet gave the two of them three days to rest. After three days, Ji Jiayu went to the Sun God Tree to complete his breakthrough and then entered the City of Light and Darkness, becoming the most critical chess piece.
In these three days, the entire Holy City, and even the entire Holy Kingdom, moved quickly. The various mobilizations of the Light Clan undoubtedly stimulated the Light and Dark Demons in the City of Light and Darkness. Although they didn't know what was about to happen, they were still prepared.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was three days later.
Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi left the Holy City alone, spreading their wings and flying towards the Sacred Sun Mountain 300 kilometers south. Along the way, well-equipped Guangming troops were everywhere, and countless Ming Shengs and Ming Shens were hidden in the boundless sky.
They were going to the Sacred Sun Mountain this time. It seemed like only two of them, but in fact, there were many.
Even though he had to go deep into the enemy camp and face mortal danger, Ji Jiayu wasn't nervous or afraid. Hadn't his preparation of over three years been just for this moment?
He turned to look at Nie Lanxi, only to see that she appeared calm and her eyes were indifferent.
Nie Lanxi, who had also passed the level of asking the heart of the Nian Palace, was fearless. She clearly knew her life plan, and everything she did was done on her own initiative and with careful consideration.
What's there to fear about adventuring with the only person you can see? About three hours later, Ji Jiayu spotted the Sacred Sun Mountain.
With their strength, it wouldn't take long, but they couldn't stand the path to the Sacred Sun Mountain, and there were scouts from the Light and Dark Demons everywhere. To avoid revealing their whereabouts, the two could only cautiously take a detour.
The Sacred Sun Mountain was seven thousand meters tall, like a white jade standing among the mountains. From a distance, the sacred mountain's rock walls were as smooth as a mirror, with no protruding rocks or trees. A golden glow loomed over the clouds and mist at the peak of the sacred mountain.
As one of the most important sacred grounds of the Guangming tribe, before the war, a large Guangming army was stationed around the Sacred Sun Mountain, guarded by numerous Myojin. Thousands of years of layout, coupled with the easily defended and difficult terrain, the Dark Demon Race had no way of reaching the Sacred Sun Mountain this far.
Following the route provided by the Defense Council, Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanhu climbed up from the cliff at the back of the Sacred Sun Mountain. There was a unique magic circle here, and if activated correctly, they could ride the wind without having to withstand the attack of the magic circle on the cliff.
In just a few minutes, Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi climbed to the top of the Sacred Sun Mountain. There were already hundreds of Guangming clansmen waiting quietly here, the weakest being a seventh-level Ming Sage, and the strongest a tenth-level Ming God.
They had only one purpose here: to protect Ji Jiayu, who was about to break through.
With the help of the Divine Sun Tree, coupled with Ji Jiayu's qualifications, the scene when he broke through would surely be earth-shattering. The Light and Dark Demon Clans couldn't see it or not, and that would be the time for war to begin.
Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi first went to meet the three Ming Gods sitting on the Sacred Sun Mountain, and then went to visit the golden Sun God Tree.
The Sun God Tree had a thick trunk, lush branches, layers of golden leaves, and a round crown like the sun. Bright light shone through the dense layers of golden leaves, falling to the ground, gently sprinkling like water droplets, finally merging into the sacred mountain like white jade.
Having just arrived at this sacred tree, Ji Jiayu showed signs of a breakthrough.
For more than three years, he had been consolidating his cultivation, and there were many signs of a breakthrough, but he had been deliberately controlling and suppressing them. By now, he knew he couldn't suppress them no matter how hard he suppressed them.
His desire to break through his body and the sacred cornerstone was already very strong.
"Go," Nie Lanxun, who was beside him, said softly. "Hmm." Ji Jiayu nodded at her.
The next moment would be extremely dangerous. Nie Lanxi hadn't promised Ji Jiayu anything, but Ji Jiayu knew that Nie Lanxi would definitely do his best to protect him.
Over the years, his help, his presence, and his dedication all confirmed this.
The rhizomes of the Sun God Tree were deep underground, but some were exposed to the surface, while others curled and intertwined, forming a circular chair.
Ji Jiayu sat on the chair and closed his eyes.
Breaking through from the sixth rank to the seventh rank, there was only one step left—constructing the sacred portal!
Ji Jiayu was a dual saint cultivator, so he needed to build two portals: one based on himself and the other based on the foundation stone of a sacred art.
As for which to build first, Ji Jiayu had already decided. The one based on the foundation stone of the sacred art.
Stacking sacred portals was the path to becoming a god in the future, the law of becoming a god. The sacred arts used to build portals should not be too numerous or too mixed, and should belong to the same category.
Afterward, cultivators would likely only specialize in this category.
