Everything in this world originates from heavenly principles, which are the essence of the laws that constitute all things.
Even swordsmanship is a form of adhering to heavenly principles.
What surprised Ye Yun was that he, who was stuck at a bottleneck, ultimately touched upon heavenly principles through swordsmanship!
When Ye Yun opened his eyes and felt the earth-shattering phenomena caused by his surroundings and his own changes, an uncontrollable smile spread across his face.
"I never thought I'd finally grasp the so-called heavenly principles through swordsmanship!"
To be precise, what he grasped was the Heavenly Principle of the Sword!
Upon mastering the Heavenly Principle of the Sword, he had grasped the essence of the Sword Dao.
This might not be clear, but to be precise, it meant he could understand and master any sword technique in the mortal world at a glance!
Furthermore, any sword art used by an enemy could be broken by his touch, representing a true down-level attack through essence.
Beyond that, Ye Yun also felt an improvement in his Sword Intent.
It leaped several levels from the initial Root Sword Intent, directly reaching the Origin Sword Intent, the highest level of Sword Intent in the Celestial Realm!
What Ye Yun hadn't expected was another point.
"It even came with the Sword Domain..."
Logically, a cultivator could only comprehend one domain, and through the type of that domain, touch upon higher-level heavenly power!
But he seemed to have done it in reverse, bypassing the domain to grasp heavenly principles, which then naturally fed back an additional domain to him.
However, what Ye Yun least expected was that this breakthrough was not yet over; rather, it was just the beginning!
He now possessed heavenly power, and merely by integrating it, he should have ascended to the Emperor Rank!
But as he attempted to integrate, he was shocked to find that there seemed to be something else he needed to comprehend!
"Hmm? This feeling is..."
Ye Yun's eyelids twitched. Wasn't this the same feeling as when he initially wanted to grasp heavenly power?
But the problem was, he had already comprehended the Heavenly Principle of the Sword, so why was he still feeling this way?
Amidst Ye Yun's shock, his body underwent a furious nirvana, erupting with blazing True Phoenix Flames!
At this moment, the soaring flames transformed into a pillar of fire that pierced through heaven and earth. Countless falling sparks emitted a starlight-like glow.
"Holy crap, another Heavenly Principle?!"
At this point, Ye Yun was utterly certain that he seemed to have grasped another Heavenly Principle!
Immersed in the endless flames, Ye Yun was absolutely sure he had mastered the Heavenly Principle of True Flame!
Its effect, once unleashed, was astonishing.
The Heavenly Principle of True Flame symbolized the authority to ignite and burn all things upon contact.
Anything that was touched by even a spark would ignite, even ordinary water, burning until it evaporated completely.
As the comprehension was completed, Ye Yun himself was so shocked that he felt numb.
"Two Heavenly Principles? This time, it's truly..."
Ordinary Emperor Rank experts, relying on a single Heavenly Principle, could sweep away anyone below their rank.
With his two Heavenly Principles, if used properly, even Emperor Rank experts would have to think twice before confronting him!
After a brief moment of excitement, Ye Yun did not forget to integrate these two Heavenly Principles immediately to formally ascend to the Emperor Rank!
"Heavenly Principle of the Sword, Heavenly Principle of True Flame, both fuse together!"
Ye Yun took a deep breath and poured all his effort into integrating the two distinct heavenly powers into his body!
At this moment, he felt two incredibly terrifying forces colliding wildly within him, as if trying to tear his body apart.
Fortunately, thanks to the effect of the Divine Radiance Holy Flower from before, his physical body's resilience was no less than that of an Emperor Rank expert, preventing him from being directly ripped apart.
This also made Ye Yun understand why all Emperor Rank cultivators only possessed one Heavenly Principle.
If one were to fuse two, ninety-nine percent of people would likely explode from the power!
Fortunately, his foundation was sufficient and his physical constitution was beyond imagination, allowing him to finally, albeit barely, truly incorporate these two Heavenly Principles into his body!
"Success!"
Ye Yun rejoiced inwardly; it was done!
Concurrently, an incredibly terrifying Emperor Rank pressure erupted from him, instantly sweeping across Moon Island!
At this very moment, others finally understood what had happened!
"Good heavens, so the commotion earlier was someone breaking through to the Emperor Rank?!"
"What terrifying commotion. Who was it? I've never witnessed someone break through to Emperor Rank before!"
"If I'm not mistaken, it's likely that newcomer, Ye Yun."
"It's probably him. But even breaking through to Emperor Rank, isn't this commotion a bit too big?"
"Yeah, the records of breaking through to Godhood seem to be similar to this, right?"
...
But they only knew that Ye Yun had broken through to the Emperor Rank.
Little did they know that amidst the colossal pressure, Ye Yun was doing something important!
"Hey, System, release all the cultivation accumulated over the past half year!"
Ye Yun instructed the System. For more than half a year, he had been diligently transferring cultivation to his disciples every month.
Although he couldn't forcefully advance to the Emperor Rank through the cultivation returned from transferring, he had accumulated enough over such a long period!
The System responded with a prompt sound.
[Detected that you have accumulated 2,213,630 days of cultivation, now issuing!]
As the voice fell, Ye Yun immediately felt a torrential power surge within him.
Although this cultivation was equivalent to two million days of cultivation for a Quasi-Emperor Realm cultivator, its sheer volume was immense. It was equivalent to over six thousand years of cultivation, directly causing his newly entered Emperor Rank cultivation to climb steadily!
Emperor Rank First Tier!
Emperor Rank Second Tier!
Emperor Rank Third Tier!
...
Emperor Rank Seventh Tier!
Emperor Rank Eighth Tier!
Emperor Rank Ninth Tier!
Until finally, his cultivation surged to the peak of the Emperor Rank!
This level of cultivation, in the Celestial Realm, could only be described in one word.
Damn, invincible!
Moreover, he also possessed the Heavenly Principle of the Sword and the Heavenly Principle of True Flame.
Ye Yun even felt that he could contend with his younger sister-in-law from the Heavenly Dao Palace, should he encounter her again!
"This advancement feels so damn satisfying!"
Afterward, Ye Yun sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Looking at his system panel, the information had also changed.
[Name: Ye Yun]
[Cultivation: Emperor Rank Peak]
[Bloodline: Deified · Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline]
[Physique: Exquisite Divine Body]
[Comprehension: Super Emperor Rank]
[Special Divine Abilities: Deified · Origin Sword Intent, Deified · Heavenly Phoenix Domain, Deified · Sword Domain, Heavenly Principle of the Sword, Heavenly Principle of True Flame]
[Immortal Divine Abilities: Man-Sword Unity]
[Destiny Value: ∞]
Two deified domains and two formidable Heavenly Principles truly constituted a top-tier configuration.
Now, Ye Yun felt that finding a way to obtain an Emperor Artifact, or even a Super Emperor Artifact, through Lin Xueyan and the others would be perfect.
But before that, there was one most important thing: he had to find Ning Qianqin and ask her about the final condition!
