Chapter 378 – Everyone Is Promoted! The Sky Gate Is About to Open!

“Excellent. It seems everyone has made significant progress.”

Qin Yang descended gracefully, his gaze sweeping over the waiting crowd as he expressed great satisfaction with the current situation.

Looking around the courtyard now, Elder Li and the others radiated powerful, overflowing auras.

Their presence was permeated with the Dao charm of unity between heaven and humanity.

Clearly, their strength had improved by leaps and bounds, far surpassing their state from five years ago.

“You flatter us, Young Gang Leader. This is merely our duty.”

Elder Li stepped forward trembling slightly, his aged face beaming with joy. “If not for your modifications to the Blood Spirit Formation back then, this old man could never have achieved such a breakthrough in his lifetime.”

“Indeed, it’s all thanks to your modifications, Master.”

“Senior Brother, my realm has also broken through… Would you like to see?”

Everyone nodded excitedly, their faces filled with exhilaration. After years apart, they couldn’t wait to step forward and showcase their achievements.

“Impressive,”

Qin Yang found an empty chair and sat down, casting a glance at Liu Wushuang beside him. “Senior Wushuang, please report on everyone’s progress.”

“Yes, Young Gang Leader!”

“During your five-year absence, everyone’s cultivation has continued without interruption.”

Liu Wushuang raised his head to report, his gaze slowly sweeping over the crowd as he detailed the advancements made over the past five years:

“Currently, the Exploding Heavens Gang boasts ten members at the Quasi-Supreme Realm!”

“Elder Li, Lin Mofeng, Li Daoming, Li Qinghe… all core members have advanced. Additionally, we’ve recruited two new gang members.”

“They are the Lin Ancestor and a close friend of mine from the Supreme Alliance. Both have trustworthy backgrounds.”

“Hmm, very good.”

Qin Yang nodded slightly upon hearing this, showing little surprise.

For trusted confidants like Elder Li, reaching the Supreme Realm was always within expectations.

After all, they were supplied with heavenly treasures daily, received Law Hearts provided by Li Zixuan, and benefited from the abundant energy of heaven, earth, and stars – all contributing to their rapid advancement!

It would have been strange if they hadn’t reached the Supreme Realm!

“What about those beyond the core members?”

Qin Yang asked further: “Those warriors who were originally in the Innate Realm – what are their current realms?”

“Reporting to Young Gang Leader, we have three hundred at the Grandmaster Realm!”

Liu Wushuang replied with a smile. “Since you modified the Blood Spirit Formation, the world’s Star Power has become as vast as the ocean, with our Jianghai City located at its very center.”

“Bathing in this luxuriant Star Power daily, we now have three hundred Star Warriors who have successfully reached the Grandmaster Realm!”

“So many?”

Qin Yang’s eyebrows shot up in surprise, his heart instantly overflowing with joy.

Incredible!

With ten Supreme Realm experts at the top and three hundred Grandmaster Realm warriors below to command, there were absolutely no weak links!

What did this personnel configuration mean?

They could sweep across the globe without any problems!

In terms of strength and scale, they had long surpassed the former Supreme Alliance and Beast God Sect!

And more importantly!

With so many Grandmasters and Supreme Realm experts supporting from below, continuously supplying Star Power, the Star Power of the Star Array was bound to increase significantly!

When the time came, as soon as the sky’s Black Hole opened!

He could break through immediately!

Wouldn’t reaching the God-Venerable Realm then be a certainty?

Just at that moment.

“Master! Don’t forget about this Fairy! Look at me quickly!”Xiaobai, who was nearby, also excitedly scurried over, wiggling her rear as she directly straddled Qin Yang’s lap, proudly displaying her fluffy tail behind her.

Nine snow-white fluffy tails swayed.

Their fur was smooth and silky.

“I’ve become a nine-tailed fox now, hehe… Master, feel how soft they are.”

Xiaobai turned around, holding the softest of her fox tails, and coaxingly tucked it into Qin Yang’s embrace, speaking softly, “It’s so fluffy.”

Qin Yang gently stroked it, and she immediately narrowed her fox-like eyes, savoring his touch.

Now that she had fully grown nine tails, she could rightfully claim to be the strongest in the fox realm!

In terms of pure strength, she could undoubtedly rank among the top-tier Star Beasts.

And when it came solely to the arts of enchantment and illusion,

she could unquestionably be regarded as the number one fox in the world!

“Not bad, everyone has worked hard.”

Qin Yang stroked Xiaobai’s fur, feeling deeply content inside.

A minute on stage takes ten years of practice offstage.

Even with the abundant Star Power available,

achieving breakthroughs still required relentless effort from everyone.

He imagined they had endured considerable hardships.

Thinking of this, Qin Yang paused for a moment and summoned the Star Ring. “As a congratulatory gift for your recent breakthroughs, I’ve prepared some small presents.”

In the next instant,

a flash of cold light streaked across the courtyard.

The sharp, gleaming light dazzled everyone’s eyes.

Immediately after, the ground was piled high with an array of divine weapons—swords, spears, staffs, halberds—every type of weapon imaginable, all exquisitely crafted with gold and silver inlays, radiating extreme luxury.

Every single piece was of the highest divine artifact caliber!

“This!”

Elder Li’s white eyebrows shot up in astonishment as he saw the sword on the table, instantly stunned by such an extravagant gesture.

Wait…

Wasn’t this originally meant to celebrate the Young Gang Leader’s emergence from seclusion?

But now, instead,

Qin Yang was the one giving out gifts?

What kind of reversal was this?!

“Why are you all standing there dazed? Pick what suits you and take it.”

Seeing everyone frozen in place, Qin Yang couldn’t help but chuckle. He casually selected a Dark Bow and tossed it to Liu Wushuang, who was standing beside him.

“Young Gang Leader, what is this?”

Liu Wushuang caught the Dark Bow, momentarily stunned. He ran his fingers over its intricate patterns and looked at Qin Yang, somewhat at a loss. “Is this specially for me?”

“Didn’t your bowstring snap once before?”

Qin Yang smiled. “Consider this Dark Bow a gift, a reward for your efforts.

Everyone in our Exploding Heavens Gang will be richly rewarded for breaking through their cultivation realms!”

A short while later,

after Elder Li and the others had excitedly selected their weapons and expressed their gratitude again, they exchanged a few brief pleasantries before Qin Yang dismissed them.

Only Liu Wushuang remained behind.

A fallen leaf drifted down, spiraling onto the green grass.

“Young Gang Leader, do you have important matters to discuss?”

Liu Wushuang’s expression turned serious as he leaned in close to Qin Yang and asked in a low voice.

“Yes, there’s something I need you for.”

Qin Yang rubbed his chin, studying him for a moment before asking, “After five years of cultivation, your realm… you should have reached the Celestial Venerable Realm by now, right?”

“Young Gang Leader is correct.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Wushuang didn’t hesitate to confirm, nodding directly. “I have indeed reached that realm.”

“Then, have you noticed the shackles and limitations of this world?”

“Shackles?”

Liu Wushuang’s brow furrowed slightly as he lifted his head to gaze at the ten Black Holes in the sky. “I can indeed sense them. I didn’t feel them back when I was in the Earth Venerable Realm, but after entering the Celestial Venerable Realm, I’ve realized these restrictions are becoming increasingly apparent.””Indeed, this is the shackle of the God-Venerable Realm.”

Qin Yang sighed softly, also gazing at the Black Hole in the sky. “Accompany me to Lishui Lake. Guard me personally by my side.”

“Young Gang Leader, what are you planning to do?”

“I anticipate that in the future, I will open one of the Sky Gates!”
