Ji Jiayu had only been cultivating for a little over four years. Normally, a member of the Guangming clan would begin cultivating from the second or third year of his birth, giving him plenty of time to explore his strengths, receive guidance from his parents, and find his best direction.
Ji Jiayu also had someone to guide him, and most of those who guided him were true powerhouses from the Holy City Sea. Although his cultivation time was shorter, he was extremely talented, and all kinds of sacred arts and sacred patterns were not difficult for him to learn. So, to this day, he still hadn't found his best direction—he excelled in each of them.
However, when it came to stacking the sacred portals, Ji Jiayu didn't encounter any difficulties.
Just because he didn't have a direction he excelled in didn't mean he didn't have a definite choice.
As the person in charge of the Sacred Pearl, Ji Jiayu shouldered a heavy responsibility. Fighting the demons invading the Sacred Clear Sea, and even the demons counterattacking the Demon Realm, required a strong combat capability.
Ji Jiayu possessed a special guardian, and after his strength reached the same level as the guardian, Nie Lanxi would no longer deliberately refrain from promoting and angering him like before. He needed powerful attack power so he could form an offensive and defensive pattern with Nie Lanxun, complementing each other.
Attack power and combat effectiveness had become Ji Jiayu's primary choices!
He counted the offensive sacred techniques he knew, and there were dozens of them, twenty of which he had deliberately cultivated under the guidance of the Flying Sun Bear, and they were the materials Ji Jiayu needed to construct the sacred portal.
Ji Jiayu was only at the peak of the sixth-order, and although he had the power to kill an eighth-order demon emperor in seconds under full blast, the reason was that the sacred form of the Holy Radiance Pearl, the Yao form, and the nine sacred factors provided him with enhancements. Even with his strength, it was impossible to break through the barrier between the seventh and eighth-order to construct an eighth-order sacred technique.
For no other reason than that, an eighth-order sacred technique required the assistance of divine elements to successfully construct it, so Ji Jiayu could only choose the twenty-seventh-order sacred technique.
First, Eternal Sun!
"Explosion!"
On the summit of the Sacred Sun Mountain, countless Ming Shengs, who were holding their breath and waiting vigilantly, suddenly heard a huge wave surging. They subconsciously looked around, but they didn't see any waves. Only then did someone realize that it was a wave of the spiritual level.
They immediately mobilized their mental powers and turned to look at Ji Jiayu. They saw that a majestic spiritual power surrounded Ji Jiayu like a water dragon, easily drawing divine power from all directions, wielding and deploying it recklessly. In an instant, the Eternal Sun, known as the King of Seventh-Order Sacred Techniques, was constructed by him.
It must be known that the difficulty of constructing this sacred technique was beyond imagination. Even many ninth-level Ming Saints couldn't successfully construct it in an instant, and Ji Jiayu was only a sixth-level Ming Sage. They couldn't help but gasp, further understanding Ji Jiayu's power.
The huge round sun hung high in the sky, blazing with golden flames inside and out. A deafening explosion erupted between the flames, as the raging flames burned violently, spreading in all directions, the sound terrifying.
Under normal circumstances, a sixth-level Ming Venerable couldn't sustain the Eternal Sun for more than a few seconds, and the Eternal Sun was only immortal in name. To most of the Light Clan, it was merely a bursting sacred technique. However, after Ji Jiayu cast it, he persisted for a full thirty seconds, and he had no intention of being unable to sustain it.
Thirty seconds later, the Sun God Tree behind Ji Jiayu suddenly gently blew, and layers of golden leaves rustled, like rolling waves. At the same time, mist rose, turning into wisps of golden smoke, merging with the high-hanging sun, making it brighter and brighter, and the flames it released even more intense.
Originally, the summit of the Sacred Sun Mountain was dazzling. It was the main monitoring point for the Light and Dark Demon Clan. At this moment, it attracted the attention of all the members of the Light and Dark Demon Clans in the vicinity. They immediately reported the situation layer by layer to the demon god of Light and Dark City.
The demon god possessed divine sense, and his divine sense spanned hundreds of kilometers in an instant. He looked down from the sky and suddenly saw Ji Jiayu sitting cross-legged under the Sun God Tree.
Light and Dark City was shaken for a moment, and at the same time, he understood the reason for the Holy Kingdom's frequent activity in recent days. They were preparing for war, and it turned out to be for Ji Jiayu.
A sixth-level Ming Zun had only broken through to the seventh rank, so why were they mobilizing troops? Could it be that after the seventh rank, this Sacred Gem in charge could play a significant role?
Regardless of whether Ji Jiayu's breakthrough was successful or not, his reputation as the leader of the Holy Radiance Orb alone was enough to cause the Light and Dark Demon Clan to flock to him.
As a result, war broke out, and the Light and Dark Demon armies engaged in close combat.
Ming Sheng and the Demon Emperor, Ming Shen, and the Demon God began to collide vigorously, and for a time, smoke rose from the entire Paradise Island. Only the summit of the Sacred Sun Mountain remained silent as usual.
"Boom!"
With a buzzing sound, Ji Jiayu's seven-colored sacred cornerstone floated out of his body and suspended in the air. The huge sun that had absorbed the golden smoke of the Sun God Tree slowly shrank and landed, arriving at the seven-colored sacred cornerstone, gradually taking on the appearance of a door frame. The two fused, no longer distinguishable from each other.
After the Eternal Sun merged into the Seven-colored Sacred Cornerstone, Ji Jiayu began to construct his second sacred technique: Eternal Flame!
He also mobilized his spiritual power, shaking the sacred cornerstone, releasing pure divine power, and inducing divine power to spread across the void in all directions, constituting a sacred art.
"Boom!"
Clusters of dark golden flames rose abruptly, like swaying flowers blooming, but their extremely high temperature distorted the space.
The Eternal Flame would not extinguish even if it burned an opponent to ashes. It would draw divine power to strengthen itself, unless the caster actively dispersed it, or there was a stronger force to dispel it.
As before, the Sun God Tree swayed, and golden smoke rising from the golden leaves converged towards this sacred technique.
All the light clansmen present thought that constructing this second sacred technique would be as easy as the first, but suddenly, the entire Sacred Sun Mountain shook violently.
"Boom!"
The Sacred Sun Mountain trembled for a long time before a thunderous tremor rang out. All the seventh and eighth-level Ming Saints felt a tightness in their chests and nearly vomited blood.
This wasn't a physical attack, but rather the defensive barrier of the Sacred Sun Mountain was affected by divine consciousness. Although this impact failed to penetrate the defensive barrier, it affected these light clansmen to some extent, affecting their morale. Chest tightness and vomiting blood were symptoms.
They couldn't help but vomit blood, not to mention Ji Jiayu, who was constructing the seventh-level sacred technique.
For a moment, all the members of the Guangming clan looked at Ji Jiayu.
They had expected to see Ji Jiayu's sacred technique disappear and be devoured by spiritual power. However, what truly shocked them was that Ji Jiayu's spiritual power, which had emerged from his body, was now much stronger than before, and its stability had also increased greatly, reaching the pinnacle of Sainthood!
A sixth-level Ming Zun, yet possessing spiritual power that reached the pinnacle of Sainthood, what a terrifying power this was!
