Chapter 376 – Half-Step God-Venerable! The Idea of Opening the Sky Gate!

Outside Fuhai District, Jianghai City.

Figures flashed between buildings,

Liu Wushuang led the Exploding Heavens Gang and immediately rushed to Fuhai District.

“Senior Wushuang, are you certain this aura truly belongs to the Young Gang Leader’s breakthrough?”

Elder Li followed closely behind, asking excitedly as the wind brushed past his graying temples. “Has he finally decided to emerge from seclusion?”

“Haha, there’s absolutely no mistake!”

Liu Wushuang couldn’t suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth, clenching his fist in excitement:

“This aura… who else in this world could possess it besides the Young Gang Leader?”

As he spoke, he turned to look toward the courtyard: “Truly worthy of being the Young Gang Leader, reaching such heights in just five years!”

Hearing this, Elder Li also raised his head to gaze at the sky.

Unnoticed by anyone, dragon-like lightning danced across the heavens, rainbow bridges formed, as if the sky itself had been ignited!

Between the towering buildings, a vast and majestic aura spread out,

Causing all things in Jianghai City to revive and flourish.

Plants and trees flourished with spring-like vitality, while startling bolts of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the entire Jianghai City!

On streets and alleys, some Star Warriors who were midway through their journeys looked up, sensing this immense aura, and were momentarily stunned.

Looking upward.

They only saw dazzling radiance intertwining across the sky, overwhelming all hushed discussions.

“What’s happening!? Heavenly lightning?”

“What a terrifying aura, what realm is this?”

“It must be the True Dragon War God!”

“After five years, he’s finally returning.”

“Incredible, just a single hand can trigger celestial phenomena… Even though we’ve reached the Innate Grandmaster realm, we still can’t fathom what level he has reached now?”

After sensing this aura, they all stopped their cultivation simultaneously, looking toward the direction of the aura with expressions of yearning on their faces.

Their admiration was evident beyond words!

A full five years had passed…

Now that the True Dragon War God had returned to the mortal world, he directly ignited everyone’s passion!

……

……

Meanwhile.

Inside the room in Fuhai District.

The last stick of Mind-Calming Incense burned out, its pale ashes falling to the ground.

Qin Yang sat cross-legged on a cushion, his aura ethereal, as steady as an old monk in deep meditation, breathing evenly.

Hum—

A faint humming could be heard in the room, star vortices swirling around him as if he were situated within a galaxy.

Large and small brilliant star vortices coiled, forming a miniature universe that continuously deduced the development of laws, like the great Dao operating the celestial bodies, sun and moon.

Time passed bit by bit.

No one knew how long had passed.

“Star Power is still insufficient…”

Qin Yang murmured softly, slowly opening his eyes, his expression unexpectedly calm as the star vortices around him dissipated into the void.

He wasn’t greatly affected by the breakthrough.

After five years in seclusion, he had finally touched the threshold of the God-Venerable Realm.

He gently reached out, tracing a line of Star Power through the space before him.

In that instant.

His fingertip split open the void!

The terrifying suction force created instantly spread in all directions, as if about to devour everything around, before being clenched and restored by Qin Yang’s bare hand.

His physical body had already reached the level of ordinary divine artifacts.

But there still remained a subtle gap between this and the true God-Venerable Realm – a difference of a hair’s breadth that meant a thousand-mile separation.

At best, it could only be considered Half-Step God-Venerable…

“Sigh, it seems the Beast God was indeed correct.”Seeing this, Qin Yang sighed, pushed himself up from the ground, and headed upstairs. The Beast God’s words echoed once more in his mind:

—To break through to the God-Venerable Realm, one must open the Sky Gate to succeed.

Otherwise, like his current method of modifying the array formation’s output,

while it could increase the flow rate of Star Power, it was not a long-term solution.

Now, the Half-Step God-Venerable was already the limit of his realm.

“Unorthodox methods truly lead nowhere. I must find another way.”

With this thought, Qin Yang raised his head to gaze at the ceiling, his divine sense spreading out like water. It pierced through the layers of thick concrete load-bearing walls, observing the Black Hole in the sky above.

Hum—

Ten Black Holes floated silently in the firmament.

Coronal light spilled from their edges.

Vast amounts of Star Power poured down like rain, nourishing all living things.

Faintly, Qin Yang could sense threads of crimson light descending, binding and connecting with his primordial spirit, forming a link.

This was one of the effects brought about by his previous modification of the Blood Spirit Formation.

“Modification? Sky Gate?”

At this thought, a sudden inspiration flashed in Qin Yang’s mind, and a bold idea arose.

Perhaps he could try to open one of the Sky Gates?

If he could just open one, wouldn’t this tangled problem be solved?

But the drawback lay in the situation behind the Sky Gate.

If he forced it open, he feared it might attract unknown variables.

“I can only take it one step at a time.”

With this idea in mind, Qin Yang suppressed his excitement and slowly walked toward the door, his thoughts already drifting to the Great Li Mountains.

“Perhaps an old friend can help me find answers.”

………

………

Outside the courtyard,

a crowd had gathered, buzzing with noise.

Li Zixuan and the others had long assembled, waiting for Qin Yang to emerge from his room.

“Why hasn’t the Young Gang Leader come out of seclusion yet?”

Elder Li stroked his white beard, exchanging glances with those around him, unable to contain his excitement. “This time, his seclusion has lasted five years…

I wonder what realm he has reached now.”

As he spoke, he turned to Liu Wushuang and cautiously asked:

“Senior Wushuang?

Your strength is the highest among us. Can you determine the Young Gang Leader’s realm?”

“Huh? You want me to judge?”

Liu Wushuang was taken aback, glanced at the heavenly lightning above the courtyard, and immediately frowned with a troubled expression. He initially wanted to shake his head and refuse outright.

Discussing the Young Gang Leader behind his back was never a good idea.

If the Young Gang Leader heard, it would be trouble!

But the surrounding gazes were already fixed on him, all looking at him with eager expressions.

“Fine, I’ll make a rough estimation, but you must not spread it around recklessly.”

Reluctantly, Liu Wushuang stroked his chin, found an empty stone chair to sit on, and slowly began, “Above the Celestial Venerable lies the God-Venerable Realm.

But judging by the current fluctuations of Star Power, they are still quite faint. It’s hard to say whether the Young Gang Leader can reach the God-Venerable Realm…”

“Hard to say?”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

“Bah! With Master’s talent, he must have reached the God-Venerable Realm by now!”

Li Qinghe, however, disagreed and couldn’t help retorting, “He…”

Before she could finish her sentence—

Boom!

A golden light suddenly erupted from the villa behind her, and a massive crimson-gold entity soared into the sky. Its majestic scales and claws swept through the sea of clouds, radiating awe-inspiring authority.

“Young Gang Leader!””Master! The master has emerged!”

Everyone was overjoyed, but before they could even greet him, they saw the golden dragon pierce through the void and soar away, quickly vanishing from their sight.

An empty echo lingered in the air, its resonance still ringing in their ears.

“You have all worked hard. Please wait here!”

“I have matters to attend to and will return shortly.”
