As soon as Chi Yuan appeared, he instantly became the focus of everyone's attention. Under the watchful eyes of many experts at the Sect, Venerable, and even Saint levels, his cultivation level was completely on full display.
"How is this possible? Wasn't this kid at the peak of the Spirit King realm? How did he suddenly jump to the peak of the Spirit Emperor realm?"
The Valley Master of Luoxia Valley spoke incredulously.
"Could he be hiding his cultivation level? Otherwise, how could his cultivation level have skyrocketed from the peak of the Spirit King realm to the peak of the Spirit Emperor realm in just one day?"
"If he truly concealed his cultivation level, then it wouldn't be surprising that he could pass through the Death Abyss at the peak of the Spirit King level with the cultivation of a peak Spirit Emperor. It's also plausible that he could subdue the fully formed Spirit Fire and refine a superior Creation Pill."
"Even if he really has some kind of method to hide his cultivation level from our detection, his talent to be able to cultivate back to the peak of the Spirit Emperor within five years is still astonishing."
"Is there another possibility that he wasn't hiding his cultivation level, but was possessed by some powerful demonic cultivator who used some kind of demonic secret technique to forcibly raise his cultivation level? Wasn't that powerful and terrifying demonic aura that appeared at the Heavenly Phoenix Pavilion yesterday caused by him? I think he must have a very deep connection with the demonic path!"
"Indeed, only the evil techniques of the demonic path could allow his cultivation to leap forward. And the fact that he has unleashed such a massive and powerful demonic aura means that he must have used some kind of supreme evil technique to raise his cultivation to the peak of the Spirit Emperor realm in a single day. In my opinion, he has probably been possessed by a high-level demonic being, since only beings of that level could possess such a supreme evil technique."
"That's probably the case. Ye Chen's cultivation level was able to leap forward because of the Divine Sun Body. How could he have made such progress? Could he possibly possess a true divine body?"
“If he hadn’t triggered that demonic aura, I might have actually believed he possessed a divine body, but once that demonic aura appeared, he could only have been possessed.”
"He must have been possessed by a powerful demonic cultivator, otherwise how can we explain his profound mastery of alchemy and formations?"
...
The crowd was abuzz with discussion, and many began to suspect that Chi Yuan had been possessed by a powerful demonic cultivator.
This leap in cultivation level is simply too illogical. In addition, the demonic aura that Chi Yuan unleashed yesterday, which even made Venerable-level experts feel fear, further confirms this point. Otherwise, even if you can explain Chi Yuan's leap in cultivation level, how can you explain this demonic aura?
Chi Yuan seemed to have anticipated that this would arouse suspicion from others, so he turned a deaf ear to the discussions around him. Things were different now. He now had a great emperor protecting him, so why should he care about these idle gossips?
"Big brother!"
Just then, an excited shout rang out.
Chi Yuan looked towards the approaching Chi Yang, a strange light flashing in his eyes. In just a few years, Chi Yang had already cultivated to the fifth level of the Spirit Emperor realm. It seemed that Chi Yang had also encountered his own great opportunity in recent years.
Calming the slight turmoil in his heart caused by Chi Yang, Chi Yuan's expression remained calm, looking at Chi Yang as if he were a stranger: "I am no longer your elder brother, don't try to claim kinship with me."
Chi Yang's expression froze, and he said urgently, "Big brother, I misunderstood you back then. You can hit me or scold me if you want, but you can't disown me as your brother!"
"Let me say it again, I am no longer your older brother. Our relationship was severed back then."
Chi Yuan frowned and said indifferently.
"Brother, Xiaoyang really knows he was wrong. Back then, I just hoped you would admit your mistake, I didn't really want to sever ties with you!"
Chi Yang's face showed pain.
Upon hearing this, Chi Yuan's lips curled into a sneer: "If you think I'm wrong, then you should always think so, otherwise wouldn't you have to live your whole life burdened with guilt? You don't think that just because you admit your mistake, I'll pretend nothing happened, do you?"
"Brother, what can I do to forgive you? We're blood brothers, don't you really want to stop acknowledging me as your younger brother?"
Chi Yang looked grief-stricken. At this moment, he deeply understood the pain Chi Yuan felt when he was betrayed and abandoned by everyone. He also hated himself even more for not believing Chi Yuan back then. If he had just said one word for Chi Yuan, how could Chi Yuan have been so cold and heartless to him?
"When you wanted to sever ties, did you ever treat me like your own brother? Now you want me to acknowledge you as my younger brother? Don't you find that ridiculous?"
Chi Yuan uttered a sarcastic remark.
Chi Yang felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if stabbed by a knife. He knew that the emotional appeal of being brothers wouldn't be enough to move Chi Yuan, so he decisively brought up their parents as well: "Brother, you may not forgive me, but what about Father and Mother? Are you unwilling to forgive them either?"
Why should I forgive them? Is there any reason?
Chi Yuan retorted sarcastically.
“Brother, Father and Mother also know they were wrong. As soon as they learned the truth, Father resigned from his position as head of the family and took Mother and me to the Heavenly Pool Holy Land to ask the main family for help, to seek justice for you from the Divine Firmament Sect.”
Chi Yang said sincerely.
"Is that so? Before you knew the truth, were you still angry with me for affecting the business dealings between the Chi family and the Shenxiao Sect?"
Chi Yuan said with a barbed tone.
Chi Yang's expression changed, and he quickly denied it, "No, big brother, after you left, Father and Mother regretted it. For the three years before they found out the truth, they were looking for you. Mother cried almost every day because of this. You really misunderstood them!"
"Do you think I would believe that? Or rather, would I choose to believe it? I'm more inclined to believe that after I left, they would be overjoyed to have kicked me out of the house, cleansed the family of its reputation, and then act as if I had never been born. They might even be hoping that I would die in the wilderness as soon as possible, so that I wouldn't embarrass them anymore."
Chi Yuan said slowly and deliberately.
"No...no, brother, how can you view our parents like that?"
Tears welled up in Chi Yang's eyes as he stared blankly at Chi Yuan, feeling that Chi Yuan was completely unfamiliar to him, as if he had never known him before.
