I Am Supreme Chapter 1037 - This Is A Strategy

After the incident, Dong Qitian’s att.i.tude toward Yun Yang returned to the same as before. No, he seemed to be a little tamer, as if he had grown a head shorter in front of the latter. Sometimes, when he saw Yun Yang, he would roll his eyes and sigh, then walk away as if he had suddenly remembered something.

Obviously, he was thinking of the wisp of Primordial Qi, and his feeling of regret struck him once again.

“Now that all the disciples have made advancements, why haven’t you, the higher echelons of the sect, also advanced?”

Dong Qitian did not understand this. “Although the efficacy of the Emerald Cloud Pill is much weaker for people above the realm of Saints, and it is impossible to make you break through a major realm, it can still make you break through a minor realm. Since the Residence of Nine Supremes is now aiming to improve its overall fighting strength, why don’t you do it?”

Yun Yang smiled and said, “Well, there is no hurry.”

Dong Qitian was stunned. The battle for the Celestial Luck Banner was only a few days away. At such a critical moment, why did Yun Yang say there was no hurry?

In fact, in the past period of time, disciples were not the only ones whose strength had improved by leaps and bounds.

s.h.i.+ Wuchen and the others had also taken a big step forward. Previously, they were not only exhausted in physical strength, but also exhausted in spirit after spending more than dozens of hours helping the disciples break through. The whole process was more exhausting than having to fight a dozen intensive battles in a row. However, after a day and a night of deep sleep and recovery, they were startled to find that their strength had advanced as well.

Now, including Yun Yang, the masters of the nine peaks were all fourth-level Saints; s.h.i.+ Wuchen, Luo Dajiang, Yun Yang, and Tie Qingcang were all peak fourth-level Saints.

As long as they took one step further, they could enter the realm of Saint Kings.

Under such a premise, it should be no difficulty for them to use the Emerald Cloud Pills to break through to the realm of Saint Kings! They might even have the possibility to reach the peak first-tier of the Saint King realm!

The efficacy of the Emerald Cloud Pills was indeed amazing yet dangerous for junior disciples like Sun Mingxiu. But for cultivators like Yun Yang and s.h.i.+ Wuchen, who had become Saints, they were helpful without any risks. Instead, the medicinal strength was rather insufficient for them!

“Why?” Dong Qitian was puzzled.

“According to my a.s.sessment, Residence of Nine Supremes’s strength at this stage is enough to meet the challenge of competing for the last place at the junior level,” Yun Yang said lightly. “I intend to save this advancement for a rainy day. For example, when we are competing for eighth or seventh place…well, even when we are competing for the first place…”

He looked up at Dong Qitian with a sly smile on his face.

“If we directly improve everyone’s strength now, we will only expose our trump cards in advance. This will make it easier for others to be on guard, and it is not good for the Residence of Nine Supremes.”

Dong Qitian sighed, “Even at this point, you haven’t forgotten to entrap others. I really don’t know how you have so many bad ideas. You might as well stop calling yourself Supreme Cloud and just call yourself Supreme Crafty. As your opponents, those people are really too…you are really too insidious…”

Yun Yang chuckled and said, “Supreme Crafty? That’s a bad name. I use this as a means of saving for a rainy day, so this is wisdom! How did it turn into a trick in your mouth? And if I had to change my name, I’d be called Supreme Intelligence, wouldn’t I?”

Dong Qitian shook his head noncommittally, imagining the miserable fate of Yun Yang’s enemies.

The enemy, ‘As far as I can see, all the higher-ups of the Residence of Nine Supremes are here. Hey, the strongest of them are only fourth-level Saints? Our strength is stronger than theirs. It seems that we have a good chance of defeating them!’

However, in the next day’s battle, the Residence of Nine Supremes would suddenly send a peak first-tier Saint King, or even a second-tier Saint King…

How were they going to fight the battles? They would be completely thrown into confusion.

The biggest taboo on the battlefield was to misjudge the opponent. Any mistake was enough to lead to a total defeat, not to mention a serious mistake in predicting the opponent’s strength! If there were Saint-King-level experts in their sects, they might still have a chance. But what if they did not?

Then they would have to watch their own people get defeated brutally!

Or, perhaps their sects had matching fighting power, but when they met the day before, they did not see any danger and wanted to retain their strength. So, they would leave earlier without partic.i.p.ating in the battle. This was not an impossible thing!

If such a thing happened, it would indeed be a miserable fate.

Yun Yang smiled faintly and said, “Senior, you are also a man who has experienced many battles. Don’t you think it is a necessary strategy?”

Staring at him, Dong Qitian still shook his head and kept silent.

…

Supposedly, Dong Qitian had been habitually shocked during this period of time. However, that was because he had not noticed the one who was the biggest surprise among them all!

The cultivation base of all the people in the Residence of Nine Supremes had increased almost exponentially, and so had Yun Yang’s. However, the growth of his cultivation base was not just reflected in his mystical Qi, because his Endless Divine Art, which did not belong to the category of mystical Qi cultivation, had also improved dramatically!

The advancement of the Endless Divine Art was far more difficult than the growth of mystical Qi, because it involved karmic energy.

Now, Yun Yang’s Endless Divine Art had stopped at the fifth level. Since he set foot in the Bound of Universe and climbed to the fifth level by chance, he had been acc.u.mulating on this level.

In the operation of the Residence of Nine Supremes to kill those human trafficking organizations, he clearly felt the collection of a large amount of karmic energy, which had cultivated his Endless Divine Art to the peak of the fifth level. As long as he took one more step forward, he could break through overnight.

The essential difference between the Endless Divine Art and other cultivation methods was that it was not enough to judge it just because it climbed to the peak level. As that happened, it only meant that Yun Yang could exert the highest power at the level, and must wait until the karmic energy also reached the critical point if he wanted to make further breakthroughs. Otherwise, he would be stuck at the peak of the fifth level.

The river was still the same river, but it was constantly filled with water and could not expand again…

Thinking about this state of his, Yun Yang was also very helpless and speechless.

But, what did the peak power of the level-five Endless Divine Art mean?

It meant that the power Yun Yang could exert now had more than doubled than before! The situation left him somewhat speechless.

Previously when he broke through to the fifth level, he succeeded only after consuming the karmic energy from killing millions of wicked people. And now, if he wanted to break through to the sixth level, he needed the karmic energy equivalent to kill tens of millions of wicked people!

Since Yun Yang came to the Bound of Universe, he himself, together with the strength of the whole sect, had killed many human traffickers and gained considerable karmic energy. However, the total amount was still less than half of what he needed.

Although killing a person in the Bound of Universe could get ten times as much karmic energy as in Tianxuan Continent, the harvest in the current period of time was really insufficient.

In any case, Yun Yang was still very confident about the current situation.
