Chapter 1237: 532 Chapter 1237: 532 Upon the surface of the Time River.

As Jiang Yuan’s body emerged, countless mysterious substances descended, bathing and transforming his physical body into a state of transcendence. With each passing moment, he became more powerful.

In such a state, time swiftly passed by.

After an indeterminate period,
Jiang Yuan sensed the end of this transformation and slowly opened his eyes.

He looked down and saw that now, over ninety percent of his body towered above the Time River; only his feet were still bound to its surface.

At this stage, he just needed to break free from the shackles of his feet, and he would completely transcend the constraints of this Heaven and Earth, escaping the binds of the Time River.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan also knew that his mastery over the Time Great Dao had now equaled that of a Heavenly Lord from Ancient Times.

This was an extremely terrifying realm–the convergence of timelines into a unique existence throughout eternity.

His control over time had reached an unbelievable level; such a being could reverse any grave injury by retracing to a particular time point and instantly revert to a previous state, effectively unkillable!

The reason the Heavenly Emperor sustained such critical injuries back then was because he had fought until he was utterly drained.

The indestructible body was blown apart time and again, only to reassemble itself each time.

This continuous reassembly consumed vast amounts of his vitality and origin energy.

Because after all, every technique must have its source.

Even at his level, there was no creation out of nothing.

Thus, the stronger the body, the more vitality was extravagantly consumed with each recovery to peak condition.

The three Half-step Transcenders that the Heavenly Emperor fought against in those days were beings who had all but one foot out of the Time River.

In mastery over the aspect of time, they were a level above the current Jiang Yuan.

So, having acquired the Heavenly Emperor’s insights, Jiang Yuan had a rough idea of his current standing.

In terms of mastery over the Time Great Dao, he was now equal to a Heavenly Lord.

As to whether his overall strength matched up, that would only be known through battle.

Now in possession of such an abundance of red Innate Energy Luck, his strength certainly couldn’t be measured by his realm alone.

“It’s time to return!” Jiang Yuan murmured to himself.

The next moment.

His figure abruptly vanished from the spot, leaving only his voice echoing in the air.

…

Time blinked, and it was three days before Jiang Yuan’s banquet.

Three days later would be the date of the banquet.

Jiang Yuan had concluded his seclusion and was hastily heading to the Holy Institute where Dugu Bo was located.

He felt that, at present, Dugu Bo was on the brink of a breakthrough to the True Spirit Realm.

If he didn’t have a protector, success meant life, failure death–there were no second chances.

Although Dugu Bo had previously said he didn’t need Jiang Yuan’s protection, Jiang Yuan wasn’t at all reassured.

Furthermore, Dugu Bo had always looked after him and had been a great help.

His contribution was significant in enabling such a fortunate turn of events for Jiang Yuan.

In light of this, how could Jiang Yuan not offer his help?

Upon arriving at the Holy Institute, Jiang Yuan saw that Dugu Bo was in the midst of his breakthrough.

He stayed in the deepest reaches of the voidness, silently observing Dugu Bo’s changes.

As time elapsed, Dugu Bo’s aura remained extraordinarily stable.

Once the most critical point was passed, Jiang Yuan also let out a light sigh of relief.

Because the most dangerous moment had been smoothly overcome, there would naturally be no great danger hereafter.

Half a day later.

Dugu Bo’s breakthrough officially concluded.

When he slowly opened his eyes, radiating joy,
He instantly saw Jiang Yuan with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile on his face.

“Congratulations, Dean, on a successful breakthrough!” Jiang Yuan said with a slight smile.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo also laughed heartily.

“You still came, after all!”

Jiang Yuan said, “Dean breaking through is such a critical moment, how could I not come!”

Then, he saluted with folded hands, “Dean, you will need to stabilize your newfound realm and experience the changes post-breakthrough. I will not disturb you further. At the banquet in two days, we will share a drink.”

“Good!” Dugu Bo replied.

Afterward, Jiang Yuan’s form disappeared.

Watching the spot where Jiang Yuan disappeared, Dugu Bo nodded slowly with a look of satisfaction on his face,
Seeming to contemplate something in his heart.

…

In the blink of an eye, the day of Jiang Yuan’s banquet arrived.

His banquet was now being held in the Supreme Mystery Sect.

All the details of the banquet had already been well organized by Lu Qingshan.

Per Jiang Yuan’s orders, the banquet was not large, accommodating seats for just a few hundred people.

That day, Saints came to pay homage.

From the Four Seas and Five Domains, significant figures from major powers brought valuable gifts for the occasion.

The Saints from all over the world, nearly ninety percent or more, were present.

This was the grandest banquet since Ancient Times.

Any visiting guests, even with their auras fully concealed, left the disciples of the Supreme Mystery Sect feeling the oppressive sense from their level of life.

That day, outside the Supreme Mystery Sect, numerous powerful individuals, after presenting their gifts, paused their steps.

They looked up to the banquet on the mountain with clasped hands and a sigh.

Because they were not qualified to take a seat.

This banquet, whether it was the family Clans with ancient legacies, or the various Holy Lands, and even the contemporary major religious orders, had their current leaders in attendance.

With only a few hundred seats available, aside from the Saints participating in the banquet, there weren’t many spots left.

Even if some of these individuals were world-renowned elder veterans, or rulers of their own territories, they did not qualify to partake in this gathering.

On this day, the Qianyuan Kingdom was experiencing its busiest day since ancient times.

Yunxiao City had already become overcrowded.

Moreover, members of the Demon Tribe from the Four Seas and the Southern Ridges had come to the Qianyuan Kingdom to present Jiang Yuan with their utmost sincerity.
