As time went by, six hours had passed.
Zhang Ruochen stood upright at the edge of the bronze cauldron like a human-shaped copper billet as if he were about to integrate with the Worshiping Bronze Tripod.
Many people could not stand it and had lost their patience. They got tired of waiting and were ready to leave the Supreme Pure Palace.
“Swoosh!”
Just then, from the Worshiping Bronze Tripod, a wisp of purple Qi slowly rushed out into the sky and connected with the clouds.
Somebody detected the change in it and exclaimed, “Look, a wisp of purple Qi is spewing out from the Worshiping Bronze Tripod. How is that possible?”
“It’s hard to believe that purple Qi is really rushing out from there. Is the Patriarch manifesting?”
…
The disciples who originally intended to leave immediately returned. They widened their eyes and stared at the Worshiping Bronze Tripod.
Remarkably, purple Qi really was rushing out of the cauldron.
Many people felt shocked and thought that it was impossible because nothing like this had happened before during the previous coronation ceremonies.
All the Half-Saints and the Saint Lady in the Supreme Pure Palace fixed their eyes on the Worshiping Bronze Tripod—even they were awestruck.
“Boom!”
The wisp of purple Qi got thicker and thicker. In the end, it completely changed into a purple Qi column that connected earth and heaven and dissipated the clouds.
A moment later, with the Supreme Pure Palace as the center, the sky within a range of 800 miles completely turned purple and covered up the sun, reflecting a faint purple light on the colored glaze tiles on the ground.
The purple cloud was like a mysterious and vast sea with Qi billows that kept rolling out.
The abnormal phenomenon in heaven stirred up a big commotion among all the disciples of the Yin and Yang Sect. They dashed out of their rooms and looked up into the sky, feeling quite shocked.
“800 miles of Purple Qi. Has some Patriarch broken through to the Sacred Realm?”
This sign in heaven was really amazing. The disciples from the major sacred mountains secretly wondered if some Patriarch had broken through to the Sacred Realm.
Or perhaps some sacred mountain had given birth to some marvelous treasures.
“Swoosh!”
A white saintly figure flew out from the main sacred mountain of the Supreme Pure Palace, turned into a light shuttle, went through the Purple Qi, and arrived at the temple of the Supreme Pure Palace.
The holy white light disappeared and transformed into an old Taoist with a white beard and white hair.
He wore a white robe with a tai chi mark on the front and an Eight-diagram Compass on the back, looking like some kind of sage.
All the Half-Saints gradually stood up and bowed to the old Taoist. “Greetings, Patriarch Taiyi.”
The white-robed old Taoist stared at Zhang Ruochen and did not turn back. He just raised two fingers slightly and signaled to all the Half-Saints not to be over-courteous.
Then, he looked solemn as he asked, “Where is this guy from?”
Half-saint Zixia stood up and answered, “Patriarch, he is a disciple from Zixia Sacred Mountain of the Long-living Yard.”
Patriarch Taiyi said, “The Worshiping Bronze Tripod has been in the Supreme Pure Palace for many years, but this is the first time that such an abnormal phenomenon has been generated. This man can’t be just any ordinary person.”
Hearing Patriarch Taiyi speak so highly of Lin Yue naturally delighted Half-saint Zixia. He wore a proud smile on his wrinkled face as he glanced at Half-saint Yuanlong nearby.
The expression in his eyes seemed to say: “Did you see that even Patriarch praised Lin Yue? Pang Long is far inferior to Lin Yue.”
Half-saint Yuanlong snorted and remained unconvinced.
However, he did not dare to lose his temper with Patriarch Taiyi standing by.
Patriarch Taiyi was one of the oldest in the Yin and Yang Sect and he ranked extremely high in the sect. He only appeared once every few decades. He would not normally take a second look at others, even if it was a Half-Saint.
However, he had said of Lin Yue: “This man can’t be just any ordinary person.”
If this comment were to be spread out, Lin Yue would gain considerable fame. In the future, it could be expected that no one would doubt his ability to kill Serene Blue Emissary.
Under the Worshiping Bronze Tripod, 16 new Saint’s disciples were pushed out by an invisible force. They stood firm until they stepped back more than 300 meters.
Xun Hualiu never expected that Lin Yue could make such a big movement, so he was dumbfounded. “What is this guy doing…?”
“Boom!”
The Worshiping Bronze Tripod shook violently and made a loud noise as if an ancient bell had been struck. Its sound wave was transmitted layer by layer and gradually disappeared after it had traveled thousands of miles away.
“Crack!”
The slates under the cauldron fragmented and dozens of cracks appeared, extending into the distance.

Meanwhile, three light spots surged out from the cauldron and changed into three airflows. They gathered in between Zhang Ruochen’s eyebrows and rushed into his Qi Sea.
A powerful strength burst out from his body and formed round energy ripples, which ran in all directions.
The round energy ripples were a tai chi mark formed by two black and white yin-yang fish. Thickly dotted ancient characters bounced on the tai chi mark and integrated with it. Then, they came back to his body at extremely high speed.
Half-saint Zixia fixed his fireball-like eyes on Zhang Ruochen and said, “Strange, so strange… This little guy has integrated three Sword Comprehensions. However, I really can’t see through the aura that they exude.”
Half-saint Jing Lan of the Sunyu Yard also nodded and said, “The aura is indeed strange. I can’t tell who the three Patriarchs are.”
The Half-Saints had rich experience and were able to record the information of all the previous Patriarchs. However, they were unable to tell who the owners of those three Sword Comprehensions were. Thus, it was obvious that they were indeed out of the ordinary.
Saint Lady bowed to Patriarch Taiyi and said, “Patriarch, you seem to have seen some signs, right?”
All the Half-Saints immediately looked at Patriarch Taiyi with curiosity.
“Did the Patriarch really find some clues?”
Patriarch Taiyi narrowed his old eyes, looking solemn. “The auras of the three Sword Comprehensions are quite old. It looks like they are left over from the Middle Ancient Times… It’s a long time ago. I can’t remember exactly.”
The Yin and Yang Sect had a long historical heritage and reached an unprecedented peak in the Middle Ancient Times. If the three Sword Comprehensions were really left over from that time, they were indeed antique. Even if they looked through all the files, they might not be able to find out who they belonged to.
Only Saint Lady noticed that Patriarch Taiyi had a strange expression.
She was quite smart and knew immediately that Patriarch Taiyi was absolutely concealing something and had not told them all the facts. The masters of those three Sword Comprehensions might have extraordinary backgrounds.
“Incredibly, such a talent who has integrated three Sword Comprehensions has appeared in the Yin and Yang Sect.”
Saint Lady stared at Zhang Ruochen with delight. There was one more name on the list of Heir Candidates of Kunlun’s Field.
“Beyond expectations, Lin Yue… has integrated three Patriarch’s Sword Comprehensions. Who can tell me who the masters of those three Sword Comprehensions are?”
“I must be hallucinating. How could this happen?”
…
The entire Supreme Pure Palace was full of people. Everybody was talking enthusiastically.
In the crowd, Zhao Han’er was thrilled to bits. “Did you see that elder brother Lin Yue has integrated three Patriarch’s Sword Comprehensions? In the total history of the Yin and Yang Sect, it seems that no one has been so powerful. He really is God’s favored son. So, there may be a considerable gap between elder brother Pang Long and elder brother Lin Yue.”
Those inner disciples who had not thought highly of Lin Yue looked jealous.
One of them said, “It… it’s all due to luck. It’s not a big deal.”
“It’s only through sheer luck that he can integrate three Patriarch’s Sword Comprehensions?”
“Can he make the Worshiping Bronze Tripod generate abnormal phenomena through simply good luck? Elder brother Lin Yue is a talented and knowledgeable person. Perhaps elder brother Gai Hao is inferior to him.”
“Before, I did not believe that he was able to kill Serene Blue Emissary. Now, I’m sure that Serene Blue Emissary was definitely killed by him. Elder brother Lin Yue is a lucky man, so it’s normal that a miracle would happen to him.”
That inner disciple was besieged by a group of female disciples. They scolded him, saying that he was jealous of elder brother Lin Yue’s talent.
Some female disciples proudly claimed that they were on intimate terms with him, so they were envied by numerous female disciples.
Pang Long originally thought that he would overshadow Lin Yue at today’s coronation ceremony and capture junior sister apprentice Han Qiu’s heart.
He never expected that Lin Yue would be able to integrate three Patriarch’s Sword Comprehensions.
“How can he be so lucky?”
Pang Long clenched his hands and his eyes became bloodshot.
“How can my defeated foe have such a good chance?”
Pang Long was unconvinced.
Zhang Ruochen finally retreated from this mysterious Comprehensive State. He opened his eyes and discovered that his surroundings were full of people and the ashram of the Supreme Pure Palace was completely overrun by them.
Everyone seemed to be staring at him.
“What happened?”
Zhang Ruochen raised his head and looked up. The entire sky was enveloped by Purple Qi, which was uninterrupted and reached into the sky.
Meanwhile, he detected that there seemed to be three more airflows in the Qi Sea between his eyebrows.
“How powerful these three Sword Comprehensions are. Have I integrated with Patriarch’s Sword Comprehension just now? But… why are there three of them?”
Zhang Ruochen was a little anxious and doubtful. He immediately jumped from the Worshiping Bronze Tripod. He could not wait to return to Zixia Sacred Mountain and study the three Sword Comprehensions in his body.
Just as he stepped down the stone stairs, Pang Long rushed up and stopped him. He said hoarsely, “Lin Yue, the coronation ceremony has finished. Do you dare to accept my challenge?”
Originally, Pang Long was very confident that he could defeat Lin Yue. But just now, Lin Yue had integrated Patriarch’s Sword Comprehension, which led to terrible phenomena, and that had greatly influenced his state of mind.
Therefore, he had only said “challenge” instead of “fight to the death”.
