"Chi Yuan?"
Chi Tianhao raised a sharp eyebrow. He remembered that Chi Yang's elder brother, whose cultivation had been crippled, seemed to have this name.
Sikong Yan's heart stirred. Chi Tianhao, Chi Yang, and Chi Yue all had the surname Chi. Could it be that Chi Yuan was born into the Chi family of the Heavenly Pool Holy Land?
Sikong Yan was also aware of Chi Yuan's past, knowing that Chi Yuan had been expelled from the family and that Chi Yuan had now changed his name to Fu Feng and no longer acknowledged the name Chi Yuan, indicating that he had severed ties with the Chi family.
If that's the case, then he needs to carefully consider the positions and roles of the Moon Reflection Sect and the Heavenly Pool Holy Land.
"Sect Master Sikong, may I ask what this man named Chi Yuan's status is in your sect?"
Chi Tianhao looked at Sikong Yan and asked.
“Saint Tianhao, Chi Yuan is an elder of the Heavenly Phoenix Pavilion of our sect.”
Sikong Yan's eyes flashed, and he replied truthfully.
"Elder? To hold the position of elder in your sect, one must possess considerable cultivation, right?"
Chi Tianhao asked thoughtfully.
"Elder Chi Yuan's current cultivation level is the ninth level of the Spirit Emperor realm."
Sikong Yan did not hide Chi Yuan's true cultivation level. Chi Yuan would also participate in the Seven Absolute Tower training this time, and he would definitely be the focus of everyone's attention. Whether it was his cultivation level or his combat strength, it could not be hidden, so there was no need to hide it.
"Ninth-level Spirit Emperor? Then it seems to be different people."
Chi Tianhao shook his head slightly. All things considered, it has been less than five years since Chi Yuan's cultivation was crippled. How could Chi Yuan have cultivated to the ninth level of the Spirit Emperor in such a short time?
Moreover, even if Chi Yuan's cultivation had not been crippled, with his innate sword physique of a third-grade saint level, it would have been impossible for him to cultivate to the ninth level of the Spirit Emperor at this age.
After all, Chi Yuan is only a few years older than Chi Yang and about ten years younger than Chi Yue. Chi Yue has a third-grade Emperor-level physique and has been nurtured by the Heavenly Pool Holy Land since childhood, which is why she has the cultivation level of a third-grade Spirit Sect Master. Chi Yuan only has a third-grade Saint-level physique, so how could he have a cultivation level comparable to Chi Yue's?
Chi Yang was also quite disappointed. When Chi Yuan was expelled from the family, his cultivation was indeed crippled. Now, less than five years later, how could Chi Yuan have the cultivation of a ninth-level Spirit Emperor? The two could not possibly be the same person.
However, this also relieved him. Since it wasn't the same person, he didn't have to worry about his elder brother being possessed by a demonic cultivator.
"It might be the same person."
Sikong Yan then said something meaningful.
Chi Tianhao's words confirmed to him that Chi Yuan was related to the Chi family of Tianchi Holy Land. Even if he was not from the main branch of the Chi family of Tianchi, he was most likely from a branch of the Chi family.
Since that's the case, he needs to test the Heavenly Pool Holy Land's attitude towards Chi Yuan.
What do you mean?
Chi Tianhao looked at Sikong Yan with a scrutinizing gaze and asked.
"To be honest, Venerable Tianhao, Elder Chi Yuan of our sect is from the Chi family of Jintian City. He is the Chi Yuan who was stripped of his cultivation and expelled from the Shenxiao Sect."
Sikong Yan observed the three people's reactions and spoke slowly and deliberately.
"What?! He really is the eldest brother?!"
Chi Yang's expression changed drastically, showing surprise and joy, but mostly worry and fear. If it really was his elder brother, how could his elder brother have regained his cultivation and reached the ninth level of the Spirit Emperor realm in just five short years? That's impossible! Could it be as those two said, that his elder brother was possessed by a powerful demonic cultivator?
Chi Tianhao and Chi Yue's expressions changed as well, their faces filled with disbelief. Could this ninth-level Spirit Emperor Elder of the Yingyue Sect really be Brother Chi Yang?
"Impossible! If he were Brother Chi Yang, how could his cultivation level be so high?"
Chi Yue didn't believe it at all.
Chi Tianhao frowned and looked at Sikong Yan with suspicion: "Sect Master Sikong, is he really a ninth-level Spirit Emperor? Don't try to fool me."
“Holy Venerable Tianhao, how dare this junior lie to you? Elder Chi Yuan’s cultivation is indeed at the ninth level of the Spirit Emperor realm.”
Sikong Yan said solemnly, "Elder Chi Yuan will also participate in this Seven Absolute Tower Trial. You will see him in a little while, and then you will know whether what I said is true or false."
Chi Tianhao and Chi Yang exchanged a glance and said solemnly, "If what Sect Master Sikong said is true, then he is indeed Yang'er's elder brother. I wonder if you could tell us about him? Our Chi family has been looking for him."
Sikong Yan readily agreed, and instead of dwelling on the main points, he mentioned some of Chi Yuan's well-known experiences, glossing over the fact that Chi Yuan's cultivation had progressed so rapidly.
In fact, even he was unaware of this. He had not even learned that Chi Yuan possessed the Chaos Saint Body. He only knew that Chi Yuan had some kind of amazing talent, and knew nothing else.
After hearing what Sikong Yan said, Chi Tianhao and the other two were all extremely astonished, as if they had heard a myth.
Chi Yuan's cultivation level of the ninth level of the Spirit Emperor realm was already outrageous in their eyes, but they never expected that compared with other aspects, it was nothing to mention.
At the peak of the Spirit King realm, he possessed the soul realm, speed, and combat power of a Sect Master. Moreover, he was proficient in array formations, subdued a complete Spirit Flame at the Spirit King realm, and even had extremely high alchemy skills, having refined a superior Creation Pill at the peak of the Spirit King realm.
That's one thing, but the most outrageous thing is that yesterday when he participated in the alchemy conference, Chi Yuan was only at the peak of the Spirit King level, but today, just one day later, he has skyrocketed to the ninth level of the Spirit Emperor level.
Are you kidding me?!
They had seen examples of rapid increases in cultivation in a short period of time before. Didn't Chi Yang increase his cultivation from the third level of Heavenly Spirit Master to the fifth level of Spirit Emperor in just one and a half years?
Even Chi Yang isn't as outrageous as Chi Yuan. Besides, Chi Yang's cultivation level increased dramatically because he activated the Supreme Bone and absorbed a massive amount of spiritual power from it. How could Chi Yuan have made such a leap forward?
Not to mention, Chi Yuan also possesses combat strength, speed, and spiritual realm far exceeding his cultivation level. He is also proficient in profound array formations, has subdued a fully formed spiritual fire, and can refine fifth-grade pills that only sect-level cultivators can refine...
You know, any one of these would be astonishing, yet Chi Yuan possesses them all. How is that possible? Even the most extraordinary genius couldn't be this extraordinary.
Moreover, Chi Yuan's cultivation had been crippled, so doesn't that mean this is just the result of Chi Yuan's cultivation over the past five years?!
"It seems that Chi Yuan has really been possessed."
Chi Tianhao's face was ashen. All of this could not be explained by common sense. The only possibility was that Chi Yuan had been possessed, and the one who possessed Chi Yuan was no ordinary person. At least it should be a high-level saint, or even a great emperor.
At least at the seventh level of the Life and Death Realm, he admitted that he could not achieve the same level of accomplishment as Chi Yuan after possessing a body.
"How could this be? My brother..."
Chi Yang trembled, tears streaming down his face. He couldn't believe that Chi Yuan had really been possessed. But if he hadn't been possessed, how could he explain all of this?
"Your Majesty, what should we do if Chi Yuan has truly been possessed by some supreme demonic cultivator?"
Chi Yue frowned and asked.
"I will kill him with my own hands!"
A fierce glint appeared in Chi Tianhao's eyes.
