They had originally thought the attack from the Shenhe flying ship was terrifying enough.
But after witnessing Xiao Meng's current performance, Ye Yun truly understood what real destructive power was.
If they had managed such a strike in the Imaginary Sea back then, that Imaginary Beast would have been severely wounded, if not killed.
Such formidable might was indeed a bit excessive for battles in the Celestial Realm.
Therefore, after testing its power, Ye Yun instructed Xiao Meng.
"Disciple, without my permission, do not attack casually in the future, and do not easily use the Sea God's Spear. Understand?"
"Mm, I understand."
Xiao Meng nodded in agreement.
She wasn't the type to enjoy combat.
If not for the desire to find the culprits who killed her kin and mother, she wouldn't have actively pursued training.
Ye Yun breathed a sigh of relief and patted her head with a smile.
"So obedient. If your senior sisters were as good as you, I'd be so much more at ease."
At least for now, Xiao Meng had shown no signs of wanting to become a rebellious disciple, which he found rather comforting.
The only source of his frustration was perhaps the terrifying power of each strike during combat, which she herself struggled to control.
Like the Sea God's Spear just now, if mishandled, it could lead to indiscriminate destruction for both friend and foe.
Don't ask him how he knew; when he first tried to gauge Xiao Meng's strength, he had her attack something a hundred miles away, and the results were as one might expect.
Ever since then, whenever they tested her power, he made her release it from thousands of miles away to avoid collateral damage.
After the test, Ye Yun looked at Xiao Meng and said with a smile.
"Things are done, let's head back to the island."
"Mm..."
After bringing Xiao Meng back to Moon Island and settling her in, Ye Yun headed elsewhere directly.
Ye Yun had now spent over half a year on Moon Island and had grown accustomed to living there.
This half-year period had also led him to develop a daily ritual!
Beneath the entrance to the Divine City on Moon Island, Ye Yun sat cross-legged before the grand Celestial Gate, his eyes closed in meditation.
This was the best spot Ye Yun had found after cultivating on the island for a while, ideal for comprehending the laws of heaven.
The reason was that this was the area with the densest concentration of Xuan Qi on Moon Island and the convergence point of numerous primordial great daos.
Yet, even in this prime location, Ye Yun still felt that he was struggling to grasp that spark of inspiration.
"I wonder when I'll truly comprehend the laws of heaven..."
Ye Yun sighed inwardly, having gained nothing today.
But just as he was about to stop for the day, a flash of lightning struck his mind!
"Huh?!"
Ye Yun's pupils constricted, and his heart pounded intensely.
"Wait, I think I've got it..."
The sudden, strange sensation in his mind made Ye Yun realize instantly.
This situation was typically considered an epiphany, a rare opportunity that ordinary people might encounter only once in a lifetime!
And at this very moment, Ye Yun felt as though he had indeed grasped something.
Without a second thought, Ye Yun immediately sat down cross-legged again, continuing to build upon the fleeting sensation he had just caught, extending it further...
"What a profound and mysterious feeling. Could this be the so-called laws of heaven?"
Ye Yun's consciousness drifted in a peculiar state.
For the first time, he felt as though he was so close to the essence of this world, as if he had merged with it.
Just like this, keep going, this is the opportunity for a breakthrough!
Ye Yun was unaware of the impact his cultivation epiphany was having on the outside world.
On Moon Island, the evening twilight was shrouded by dark clouds, and the island's inhabitants looked up in surprise.
"What's happening? It was fine just a moment ago, why did the weather suddenly change?"
"I feel a terrifying aura gathering above us."
"With this lightning and thunder, and the sun and moon obscured, is the end of the world nigh? It's so terrifying."
...
At this moment, the surrounding space of Moon Island was violently shaking, as if some force was about to tear this realm apart.
The sea of clouds above was also enveloped by boundless dark clouds, exuding an aura of supreme majesty.
The violent thunderclouds condensed into a sea of lightning within the dark clouds, the rumbling thunder like heavy hammers striking everyone's hearts.
On the ground and in the deep sea, torrential winds whipped up out of nowhere, bending the trees and plants.
These earth-shattering phenomena were not an exaggeration to call the prelude to the apocalypse, a full-blown storm.
Lin Xueyan and the others, who had been playing by the sea, couldn't help but look up.
"What a terrifying commotion. Is a disaster about to befall this place?"
However, among them, Bai Xiaoxiao calmly analyzed the phenomenon.
"Don't you think the center of this anomaly seems to be where Master usually cultivates?"
This statement immediately caused the other women's eyes to widen.
"Does this mean it's a sign of Master breaking through?!"
"I think it's highly possible!"
Bai Xiaoxiao nodded, gazing solemnly in the direction of the Celestial Gate.
"It's been half a year already. Master cultivates so diligently; even a breakthrough would be normal, wouldn't it?"
Indeed, they had always relied on transmitted techniques to boost their cultivation rapidly.
Even so, they hadn't caught up to their Master, which indicated her talent far surpassed theirs.
For such a prodigy, a breakthrough in half a year seemed not unreasonable.
However, even knowing this, Fang Zhiwei couldn't help but open her mouth slightly.
"If they break through, then they'll reach the Emperor Rank. We'll have a Master who is an Emperor Rank powerhouse!"
Upon hearing this, the women looked on with hope. If that were the case, it would truly be their honor.
Little did they know that their junior sister was actually a Divine level being; otherwise, they would have been even more shocked.
On a distant mountain, Ning Qianqin appeared, gazing at the figure beneath the Celestial Gate with a complex expression.
"Half a year. It's finally happening."
Judging by the commotion, Ye Yun had clearly succeeded.
To be honest, while she had confidence in Ye Yun's talent, she had expected him to succeed more than a year later.
Instead, he had achieved a miracle, comprehending the power of heaven's laws in just half a year, truly astounding her.
"This cultivation speed and comprehension are indeed befitting of him..."
At the same time, as Ye Yun comprehended the laws of heaven, invisible forces from all corners of the world converged towards Ye Yun's location.
Streams of silver light transformed into a tangible phantom of a giant silver sword, standing between heaven and earth, radiating a terrifying sword intent.
At this moment, all the swords on Moon Island let out fierce sword cries, as if paying homage to a king!
