Sect Master of Sky Profound Sect.

Deep in the mountains that was within the left side of the Misty Boundary Mountains could be seen the Sky Profound sect.

Inside their main hall were a group of elderly men sitting at the side in row while Elder Kai, currently in kowtow sweating profusely, currently under immense pressure.

In front of him was the Sect Master of the Sky Profound sect, Zhen Rong, Grandfather of Zhen Shi who was elderly man with long thick beard and sharp gaze that held confidences rather than arrogance.

"It appears that I was too lenient on my grandson or rather on all of you." Zhen Rong rested on his knuckle showing that he was relaxed despite hearing the report that happened.

"Father! Please Zhen Rong is simply too immatur—Gaah." The elder and father of Zhen Shi, Zhen Dong, coughed out blood when Zhen Rong glared at him.

"You let words poison the mind of your son. Even I am not that conceited when I was young."

Zhen Rong was disappointed at his grandson hearing that he had caused trouble in the city where the Blood Iron Pavilion is. Even with their status and power they wouldn't be able to go against Blood Iron Pavilion.

"I've secluded for five years to break through the Middle Stage of Earthly Essence Realm only for the first news I receive is that my unfilial grandson is acting brashly!?" He released a wave of pressure that scared the other elders while Zhen Dong fell silent, hiding the hatred in his heart.

'Dammit! At this rate I won't be able to get the position of Sect Master and gain control if this old geezer keeps on advancing!'

Zhen Dong had his ambition to overthrow his father and gain control of the Sky Profound sect even though he was slowly gaining control of it day by day gaining support of few of the sect's elders.

"Rise, Elder Kai, you made the right choice. If my grandson doesn't change for the better then he doesn't deserve to be a core disciple."

Zhen Rong wasn't biased and thought about the future of his grandson since confidence was fine but being brash is simply beyond stupidity.

"But father! Among the younger generation, Zhen Shi is the most talented and potentially participated in the grand tournament in the chances of being selected in the middle rank Sect!" Zhen Dong argues then shudders upon meeting the gaze of his father.

"Indeed he is and I'm not trying to discourage him to be confident and ambitious but he must know when to take a step back or he'll one day regret it." Zhen Rong said, angering his son.

"Whag!? You'll let our reputation be trampled by some random person!? He had hurt your grandson and stole money from us!? Shouldn't we take revenge!?" He was blinded by ambition and Zhen Rong could see it.

"Pride invites calamity; humility reaps its harvest. The way you are acting tells me that the sect has not been well managed. Perhaps…some of you have been plotting something?"

Zhen Rong released even more of his blood lust scaring the rest of the elders who were planning on joining the side of Zhen Dong since they believed that their Sect Master hadn't done more to boost their Sect higher even though their second among the nearby sect but none of them were satisfied.

Their Sect Master actually did more than any of them always put the sect that his forefather had made to grow but he never was blinded enough from ambition. He understood that a simple decision could lead to the entire sect being wiped out if they offend someone that is unreasonable.

They were lucky whoever the person was, generous enough to give them some face and mercy. Zhen Rong didn't care if they lost money and was happy that his grandson could possibly come to his senses.

"Like a fire that consumes everything in its path, unchecked desire destroys its bearer. I won't let you drag this sect that our ancestors made for us simply because of your greed and vanity."

Zhen Rong said, showing his authority with a hint of sadness, hoping that his son would return to his senses until it was too late.

"For now, Zhen Shi will be in seclusion to reflect on his actions. Elder Kai, try finding the origin of this young man and the women with him." Zhen Rong said.

"It will be done!" Elder Kai said while they continued their meeting discussing other happenings when their Sect Master was in seclusion.

==========

Wang Jie woke up with the sun shining upon his face and felt something weighing on his chest then looked down to see the sleeping faces of his two wives. They were naked with the smell of bodily fluids reeking inside the bed having dual cultivation to indulge in passionate intimacy.

He gently moved trying to escape and managed to get up without waking them up. Wang Jie took a deep breath and looked out the window to hear the bird chirping and the rustling of wind.

"How nice…" Wang Jie smiled before quickly dressing up then went to work heading inside his Myriad Sacred Realm to inspect his strength. He arrived then immediately checked his status.

[ Name: Wang Jie ]

[ Former name: Chen Hua ]

[ Bloodline: Divine Dragon Asuranaraka ]

[ Race: Human ]

[ Physique: Ancient World Defying Paragon. ]

[ Spiritual Root: Myriad Source Root ]

[ Essence Cultivation: Peak Essence Awakening ]

[ Cultivation Method: Endless Stream Waterflow(formerly), Supreme Yin-Yang Dao Sutra, True Profound Wu-Xing Harmonization. ]

===========

[ Body Cultivation: Earth Star Chakra ]

[ Body Cultivation Method: Seven Divine Chakra ]

===========

[ Techniques: Heaven Punishing Axe Technique, Devastating Fist, Soul Reading, Faceless Mask. ]

[ Inventory: 8x bottle of Heavenly Stabilizing Pills ]

Wang Jie was satisfied seeing his status and immediately went to further stabilize his current strength. He tried calling his Chakra instantly forming the golden ring and began to test his strength by punching the air.

His muscle tense vanished and moved all around the space. He kicked and struck the air where the forces cracked the ground and the shockwave of his punches destroyed the nearby trees. After several times analyzing his physical prowess stopped for a moment to contemplate.

"Hmmm…I'm uncertain how much force I am exerting. Really wish I had something to fight and test myself."

Wang Jie wouldn't be able to confirm what his precise strength range would be and simply compare it when he was at the same level.

He looked at the surroundings that he had been destroying from the forces of his strength and noticed how the realm repaired itself after a certain amount of time had passed.

"Do you know my exact combat prowess, Wang Ru Yi?" Calling out to his system who appeared sitting on his shoulder.

[ "From what I am able to gather from the system is that your overall combat prowess if we exclude combat techniques then you are around Peak Middle Stage Earthly Essence Realm purely at the Essence path while Low Stage Earthly Realm Physically.

If we add all together then you are capable of fighting Peak Late Stage Earthly while able to severely wound a Heavenly Essence Realm. But factoring technique such unarmed and armed martial arts then it lessen your chances of winning." ]

Wang Jie understood that unless the gap between the realms is vast then many large factors can determine the victor of a fight. This ranges from their experience fighting equally powered opponents giving them insight in winning the fight to their techniques.

"I see, thanks, Yi'er." He felt satisfied from her analysis.

[ "No problem." ] Wang Ru Yi brightly smiled before floating off his shoulder as she noticed that Wang Jie was planning something.

"Alright…let's go all out."

Wang Jie took deep breath channeling his essence where the whirlpool of Yin and Yang at the center of his dantian while the Flame Qi, Water Qi, and Wood Qi violently grew with Flame was growing due to the Wood Qi and maintained by the Water Qi while Wood was nourished by the Water Qi.

This keeps a near perfect equilibrium between his Qi greedily empowering Wang Jie. His Qi was thick, almost visible for any mortal eyes to see if they were carefully observing and keeping their eye on him.

'More! I can do more!'

He pushed himself knowing there was more space to channel his Qi until he reached a level where he's still able to have precise control and wouldn't harm himself.

"Earth Star Chakra Unseal!"

Wang Jie once again summoned the golden ring and this amplified his prowess exponentially noticing how he had the same feeling like when he stepped into the early stage of Heavenly Essence.

'It is close but not quite. Unlike Heavenly Essence, my Qi is not refined and raw, similar to a lump metal filled with impurities. Though, in this case the metal is rare and better than normal metal was still impure and hasn't fully refined.'

Wang Jie considered his combat prowess to be a False Heavenly Essence Realm and can survive an encounter with them if he is careful.

"Alright time to test this!"
