Lat's Hand and Jin Xi were in high spirits, excited about the good fortune, and they immediately set to work. The two rushed towards the thousands of injured individuals, beginning to gather resources.
Guan Yue slowly ascended into the sky and found Long Chuanliu, who was already prepared with the Doomsday Annihilation Device. This device was specifically designed to target powerful opponents; it not only absorbed Origin Energy but also any form of energy. Once activated, it could drain an opponent's entire Origin Energy and energy in a very short time, rendering them powerless and forcing them to surrender! Its danger lay in its indiscriminate absorption of all Origin Energy and energy from anyone, making it unsuitable for use in crowded areas.
At this moment, Long Chuanliu had already taken precautions, waiting for Guan Yue to fall into his trap.
He calculated on the basis of Satisfaction, but despite all his planning, he did not anticipate that Guan Yue's energy was not like that of an ordinary person. How much energy could a single Doomsday Annihilation Device absorb? It was impossible for it to drain all the energy from the entire Yongning Continent. Therefore, when Guan Yue entered the effective range of the device, he felt little effect and charged directly at Long Chuanliu.
Long Chuanliu also intended to take advantage of his opponent's momentary weakness to deliver a heavy blow, so they immediately clashed.
In that instant of collision, Long Chuanliu realized something was wrong; he regretted his decision, but it was too late to pull back.
As Guan Yue approached him, the immense amount of energy he emitted made it difficult for Long Chuanliu to breathe. The overwhelming pressure left him gasping! However, having already unleashed his power, there was no time to retreat.
This time, Guan Yue drew upon the maximum limit of energy he could muster against Long Chuanliu, unaware that such a massive expenditure would instantly terrify him.
Fortunately, Long Chuanliu, seasoned from many battles and possessing considerable experience in critical situations, quickly sacrificed half of his body just in time to evade Guan Yue's lethal strike!
He plummeted to the ground as Guan Yue retracted the still-hovering Doomsday Annihilation Device and followed him down. To his astonishment, he discovered that half of Long Chuanliu's body had been lost. He was now barely clinging to life.
Meanwhile, the looting by Lat's Hand and Jin Xi had not yet concluded.
Guan Yue approached Long Chuanliu, collecting everything from him and forcibly opening his ring. Inside, he found numerous treasures and realized he had struck it rich! He now considered himself one of the wealthy landlords of the Dragon Python Celestial Domain.
He kept this discovery quiet and urged Lat's Hand and Jin Xi to act quickly. Meanwhile, he turned his attention to the injured individuals; among those he had incapacitated were several disciples from the Mysterious Heaven Realm. He aimed to recruit them. These disciples were loyal individuals; if they could be utilized, they would provide significant support.
Indeed, after some persuasion from Guan Yue, the disciples had completely lost faith in the Nanshan Sect. Ultimately, two-thirds of the Xuantian Realm Cultivators and most of the shattered realm disciples agreed to join the Watchmen. This delighted Guan Yue. He also distributed some basic wealth to the remaining disciples before allowing them to leave on their own.
Three days later, when Guan Yue and his team returned to the Watchmen with dozens of battleships and spacecraft, the entire Watchmen was in an uproar. At this moment, more and more forces began to submit to the Watchmen.
The Western Celestial Law Ancestor heard that Guan Yue had completely annihilated the Nanshan Sect and immediately came to celebrate. This time, Guan Yue did not hold back and insisted on selling the battleships and spacecraft at market prices. As Guan Yue's power grew, so did his expenses, requiring a substantial amount of money.
The Western Celestial Law Ancestor was aware of this situation and quickly arranged for the Sky Wanderers to make a deal with the Watchmen, purchasing ten battleships, including three Giant Warships!
Now, the Sky Wanderers finally resembled a prestigious sect, while the Watchmen had sufficient funds for expansion.
Currently, the Watchmen had nearly fifty thousand members, including over four hundred Xuantian Realm Cultivators and nearly five thousand Disciple at the Breaking Heaven stage. Huangfu Jiayin served as the sect leader, with Gao Yuxin as the deputy leader. Jin Xi, Lat's Hand, Ouyang Shaohua, and Lan Xuelei were the four grand elders.
In just a few days, the Watchmen had begun to take shape. It already possessed the characteristics of a major sect and was ready to grow stronger.
As Ouyang Shaohua and Lan Xuelei's fame soared, Wuma Xiangwei finally arrived, much to Guan Yue's surprise! At this time, Wuma Xiangwei was also at the Profound Heaven Realm; however, Guan Yue did not allow her to join the Watchmen. Instead, he planned for her to establish the Guardian Empire in the future!
With Guan Yue's support, Wuma Xiangwei began preparations for the Guardian Empire. Guan Yue was very clear in his mind that the Guardian Empire would be built on the foundation of the Ocean Harmony Empire. Moreover, it would be larger and more powerful than the Ocean Harmony Empire. He intended to completely overthrow the Ocean Harmony Empire!
After battling with Long Chuanliu, Guan Yue's psychological fear of sect leaders and clan heads significantly diminished; he began to feel confident. Who else could rival him in this world?
This was crucial for his development this year!
Thus, taking advantage of the remaining three days before the peak battle of the Dragon Python Celestial Domain, he entered seclusion.
His greatest consideration now was what his path truly was: was it slaughter? Was it tolerance? Was it confidence? Was it possession? Was it greed? Was it kindness? Was it sincerity? What exactly did he want? Guan Yue found himself in a dilemma because he wanted everything!
He wanted to be powerful; he wanted the love of beautiful women; he wanted greater authority; he wanted more wealth; he wanted freedom; he wanted omnipotence; he wanted longevity; he wanted invincibility. He desired so much that it was difficult to determine his ultimate needs!
Looking at the prosperity of the Watchmen before him and seeing smiles on those around him, Guan Yue suddenly thought of his greatest pursuit: protection!
In fact, he had always been pursuing a way to protect those he loved. Only by possessing enough strength and wealth could he truly safeguard those people and things that mattered to him.
Yes, protection is one's own path! This involves the need for combat power, the need for wealth, the need for a loved one, and the need to be loved.
To guard and gaze upon those we love is enough! Because upon entering the Dragon Python Celestial Domain, it is now known that Naijia has already been lost. In the future, Guan Yue hopes that similar events will not occur again. He also does not wish for his family and friends to be harmed, allowing them to walk their chosen paths until the end of their lives; this is what protection means! To achieve this, one must put in tremendous effort and dedication!
The Path of Vigilance!
When Guan Yue finally comprehended this point, his path naturally formed! Deep within his soul, a golden sphere surrounded by Nine-Colored Radiance began to spin, its light radiating outward. This made Guan Yue's entire body shine brilliantly!
From this moment on, Guan Yue became a golden body. This is known as the Golden Body of Enlightenment!
Guan Yue himself was puzzled. He had not reached the pinnacle of the Mysterious Heaven Realm, had not broken through to the Jingxing stage, and had not achieved great success in cultivation; how could he now possess the Golden Body of Enlightenment?
He had once heard from the Western Celestial Law Ancestor that only high-level martial artists recognized by the heavenly court could achieve great success in cultivation and attain the Golden Body of Enlightenment, becoming an immortal body!
But how had he achieved it now? No matter how he tried to conceal it, he could not hide the golden light shimmering from his body. While Guan Yue was excited, he also felt a bit frustrated; this secret could no longer be kept hidden.
In the future, wherever he went would be embarrassing for him!
Now that he looked like this when meeting others, would they call him Lord Shang? Or Celestial Sovereign? Or just Lord Shang? Thinking about this made Guan Yue chuckle to himself; after all, he knew that only martial artists at the Transformation Realm could be called Lord Shang. For example, the Western Celestial Law Ancestor was a standard Lord Shang.
As for Jin Xi, Lat's Hand, Ouyang Shaohua, Blue Snowler, Wuma Xiangwei, and others, they should be referred to as "Master."
As for himself, let them call him whatever they want!
Two days later, Guan Yue emerged from seclusion!
When Guan Yue walked out of the training room enveloped in golden light, all his wives were bewildered. How did their husband end up shining with golden light? Would this affect their intimate moments in the future?
The other disciples were also surprised; how did this happen? It looked quite impressive and majestic. Should we try to create one ourselves?
Lat's Hand couldn't hold back any longer and mocked Guan Yue, saying, "Why are you trying to look like a gold nugget? Are you hoping to catch the attention of beautiful women by making yourself look rich?"
Guan Yue laughed and replied, "You have a point; that's exactly what I was thinking."
Lat's Hand was so annoyed that he walked away and ignored Guan Yue. He thought Guan Yue was being too showy.
Jin Xi couldn't help herself either; she spoke bluntly, "Big Brother, how did you manage to look like a giant gold block? You might as well wear yellow clothes and really turn yourself into gold for everyone to envy."
Gao Yuxin chimed in softly, "What Guan Yue has achieved is quite a technical feat; it's not easy to get to this point. There must be a reason behind it. Let him explain it to us."
Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Guan Yue sighed and said, "You silly women and this foolish Lat's Hand, what I have is the Golden Body of Enlightenment! It's not something I could just create."
Golden Body of Enlightenment? The ladies and Lat's Hand immediately looked at Guan Yue's body seriously. Upon closer inspection, they indeed saw that the golden light was emanating from within Guan Yue, leaving everyone speechless.
"Golden Body of Enlightenment, huh?" Lat's Hand was the first to speak again. "But it's strange; you haven't broken through to the Mysterious Heaven Realm, so how could you achieve this? Is it fake?"
Only then did Guan Yue respond earnestly, "I’m puzzled too. After my retreat, I was contemplating my path, and as soon as I confirmed it, this phenomenon appeared. What else could it be if not the Golden Body of Enlightenment?"
Huangfu Jiayin suggested, "Husband, we should invite the Western Celestial Law Ancestor over to take a look and hear his opinion. That way we can confirm it."
That very night, the Western Celestial Law Ancestor arrived and was equally astonished upon seeing Guan Yue's golden body.
