Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

Chapter 330. Two Goals, the Celestial Court Produces Sage Realm Awakened

Yes.

In that earlier arranged battle, Jiang Haokong had lost once again.

Unlike the previous time, when the difference had only been in physique, Lu Yuan had suppressed him in every aspect this time.

Whether in physique or something else, it was the same across the board.

Under such circumstances, Jiang Haokong was stunned. He found it hard to believe and was genuinely shaken.

That was why he had decided to enter seclusion once again, improve himself further, and come back for another round next time.

As his elder sister, Jiang Ningxian naturally saw it all, and could only feel even more helpless.

At the same time, she was deeply shocked as well. She knew Lu Yuan was strong. As for the result of this arranged battle, she had never doubted that he would win.

But Jiang Ningxian understood her younger brother better than anyone. He might not have been invincible among his generation, but in every respect, he was unquestionably among the very best.

Especially when facing opponents in the same realm, he had almost never tasted defeat. Back in the clan, she knew that this was precisely why he had stood out. It had never been because of his status, but because of his strength.

And yet now, after only a little more than half a day of fighting, the winner had already been decided.

For a moment, Jiang Ningxian felt that she needed to raise her estimate of Lu Yuan’s strength yet again.

And among the so-called Children of the Great Age, there would undoubtedly be a place reserved for him.

”If he keeps growing like this... How far will he ultimately reach? Can he really establish a Celestial Court that shakes the entire universe?”

Jiang Ningxian gazed at the small courtyard in the distance and murmured to herself. A faint smile even rose unconsciously to her lips.

Lu Yuan was powerful.

And that made her happy as well.

Without dwelling on it further, she turned and returned to her courtyard.

The restrictions imposed on this world by the Separation of Heaven and Earth were steadily weakening.

Jiang Ningxian knew that before long, she would have a chance to step into the Great Sage Realm. Before that, she needed to make proper preparations as well.

Inside his room, Lu Yuan sat cross-legged. The aura radiating from him was growing stronger and stronger.

For him, the battle against Jiang Haokong had brought considerable benefits as well. After all, Jiang Haokong was the Holy Son of a great clan. Battling such a heaven-defying prodigy could be called an opportunity in itself.

Lu Yuan had realized during the battle that his Great Sun’s Furnace could no longer guarantee absolute suppression in terms of physique.

In that regard, he could still ignore most people, but that definitely did not mean he was invincible. Especially when facing someone like Jiang Haokong. This man was even stronger than Yu Heng of the Eternal Race.

Otherwise, Lu Yuan would not have needed more than half a day to secure victory.

Of course, there was an even greater gain.

He had discovered that after his journey through the Immortal’s Cave and all the opportunities he had obtained there, his cultivation in the Lesser Sage Realm had essentially reached its peak.

One more step forward, and he would enter the Great Sage Realm.

Great Sage was the final subrealm of the broader Sage Realm. At that level, one could briefly open a small independent space.

More terrifyingly, one could roam directly through the universe itself. Given enough time, one could cross entire starfields.

”Judging from every angle, Jiang Ningxian will probably reach the Great Sage Realm soon as well. Jiang Haokong isn’t far off either. Which means that before long, Great Sages from beyond Earth will be able to descend. The situation will only grow even more severe.”

As he spoke, Lu Yuan’s gaze was extremely solemn, and the reason was simple.

The enemies he would face next would be even stronger than before.

Still, he no longer felt the same crushing pressure he once had. Because not long after, the Celestial Court would also give birth to Sages.

With Zhu Qingyu and the other most outstanding talents taking the lead, if they continued to receive all kinds of resources, their growth would certainly be rapid.

Lu Yuan understood clearly that while Sages could not be considered top-tier combat power across the boundless starry cosmos, it still belonged among the backbone forces.

The Celestial Court had truly begun to grow.

So from that point on, he set two goals for himself.

The first was to continue strengthening the Celestial Court’s overall power, both human and mutated beast alike, advancing on both fronts at once.

The Peacock King, the Nine-tailed Fox King, and the other beast kings all possessed extraordinarily powerful bloodlines and tremendous potential.

With preparations made on both fronts, the Celestial Court’s rate of accumulating strength would only become faster than before.

The second goal was his own combat strength and cultivation realm.

Lu Yuan knew clearly that reaching the Great Sage Realm within three to five months was impossible. No matter how talented a person might be, there still had to be a process.

That meant he could only focus on improving his combat power for now. He did not need to worry about the soul, because with the Ancient Bodhi Tree’s support, his Innate Spirit had already been born. It would never become a shortcoming.

But when it came to his physique, he needed to put in more work. The Great Sun’s Furnace was already beginning to fall behind.

Of course, it was not that it was lacking, only that Lu Yuan had higher standards.

Also, he knew that a certain item would soon be born into the world.

It was a divine artifact. If he obtained it and fused it into his flesh and blood, his physique could advance yet another step.

”There is still time to carry out every part of the plan.”

After making his calculations, Lu Yuan knew that the power of Separation of Heaven and Earth would not completely disappear anytime soon. During that time, he could continue strengthening himself, but more importantly, he could also keep building up the Celestial Court’s foundations in every aspect.

Then, when the Outer-Cosmos beings fully descended, humanity would also have enough strength to resist.

This was what he had been doing all along. And now, everything finally began to fall into place.

With that thought, Lu Yuan stopped thinking further and closed his eyes.

The battle with Jiang Haokong had also consumed a great deal of his energy and strength. He had to recover.

And so, time ticked by.

Within the Celestial Court, the younger generation led by Zhu Qingyu had all gained enormous benefits from the Immortal’s Cave Secret Realm, and every one of them had improved.

Zhu Qingyu in particular achieved a breakthrough to the Void age Realm not long afterward. Aside from Lu Yuan, she became the first human on Earth to reach that realm. The news left the Peacock King and the other beast kings deeply shocked.

Although the Peacock King, the Spirit Monkey, and several other beast kings also reached that realm half a month later, they had ultimately been one step slower.

What delighted everyone even more was that more good news continued to arrive. Chunyang and Monk Huikong, these two members of the younger generation, whose talent and comprehension had already stood at the very peak, also reached the Void Sage Realm.

The Void Sage Realm.

The sixth stage of evolution.

It was something they had never even dared to imagine before, yet in the end, they had truly accomplished it.

That greatly inspired many of the Celestial Court’s subordinates, as well as the celestial troops and celestial generals. They could feel that Earth was growing stronger non-stop.

Of course, under Lu Yuan’s instructions, that information was known only to insiders and was not spread outside.

After all, Lu Yuan knew that the deaths of Yu Heng and Lei Xiao would definitely provoke intense reactions from many Outer-Cosmos beings. They might even choose to wage war directly.

After all, many Sages had already been killed by Lu Yuan in the Immortal’s Cave Secret Realm. Among those who could descend now, not many remained.

The moment they could no longer restrain themselves and chose to strike, Zhu Qingyu and the others could be sent into battle.

And then, the Celestial Court would reveal its power to the world for the very first time!
