Chapter 1114 Breakthrough to Earth Sect
Inside the ancestral hall space...

Sweat beaded on Zhou You's forehead, back, and palms; the situation had reached its most critical moment.

At first, things went relatively smoothly. He used his fists to blast open the spatial crystal. With each punch and kick, his vital energy pushed his power to an unprecedented level, breaking through his own limits and connecting with heaven and earth.

However, space does not encourage individuals, who are intricately connected with each other.

For example, the ring-shaped space he previously constructed using the disguised inner demon ring was separated from reality, but it could not be completely independent.

That space was constructed by him using the power he stole from the Demon Soldier Village. To be precise, it was a vine that parasitized the Earth Capital, and it still had the Earth Capital as its foundation.

If a natural disaster like an earthquake occurs in the Earth Capital, it will be reflected in the inner world of the Ring World. Conversely, if too much disturbance occurs in the Ring Space, exceeding the shielding limit, it will also be reflected in the real world of the Earth Capital.

The same applies to the Demon Soldier Village. Those Demon Soldier Lords who have fled into the Demon Soldier Village are actually hiding in a space superimposed on reality.

For example, the Heavenly Palace of the Buddhist sect operates on the same principle, only the followers are more sophisticated and keep it more secret.

At the moment of his breakthrough, the space around him and the ancestral hall had a similar relationship, being separated but not completely independent.

The ancestral hall space is also based on the real world.

This results in the vibrations of the space around him each time he bombards it being transmitted and transferred to the ancestral hall space, which in turn is reflected directly in the real world.

Although he had experienced the weakening effect of the transmission, every attack he unleashed when breaking through to a higher realm was extraordinary.

"..."

Zhou You suddenly stopped moving. His technique when breaking through the realm incorporated the principle of the Time Butterfly. The effect of each attack transcended simple linear decay, but instead oscillated, superimposed, and strengthened continuously.

Even if he stops midway, the attacks from the past and future will continue to take effect, breaking through the spatial barrier behind him.

They were preparing for the final blow, but at the same time, they were worried that the ancestral hall space might be damaged too much.

Suddenly, a voice came from outside, "Zhou Daqian, the ancestral hall is the foundation for the Zhou family to live and work. You must not act arbitrarily and destroy it for your own selfish interests."

"This is an era of great strife, with powerful enemies at our side. We cannot afford the risks. Stop immediately and evacuate the ancestral hall!"

"If something goes wrong and damages the foundation of the family, not only you, but even Zhou Nanwang won't be able to cover it up!"

It was Zhou Tianyuan's voice. The people from the Eastern Sect had all arrived. It seemed that he had made quite a commotion.

Zhou You glanced at it and was stunned. Why was it falling so fast?

Unbeknownst to him, the ancestral hall was riddled with cracks, some even intertwined and overlapping, creating a large gap through which the outside could be seen.

Zhou Tianyuan and Zhou Feixing are both grandmasters and high-ranking members of the Eastern Sect. They have come to demand an explanation.

"Just a moment, I'll be right there!"

Zhou You is already at the most critical stage, how can he just back down? Besides, he has caused quite a stir today, and if other aristocratic families find out in a little while, the situation will become even more complicated.

Therefore, there is only one path left: to bravely advance and break through the barrier with unstoppable momentum.

Hearing Zhou You's words, Zhou Tianyuan laughed angrily. "Do you still want me to let you continue to act so recklessly? Can't you see that the ancestral hall space has already suffered irreversible damage, with a hole the size of a crater?"

Some aspects of space are like river water. When a stone breaks the surface, although the aftershocks last for a long time, the water eventually calms down and the hole is repaired.

The so-called vacuum, like a hole in a river, requires immense force to maintain.

However, the self-healing of space has its limits. Once it suffers irreparable damage, it will end up like the scene before us.

"Let's not wait any longer. That brat doesn't understand anything. What does he know?"

Zhou Feixing rushed forward angrily, "I'll go drag him out!" The old master blocked his way, "Don't be hasty, do you think you can beat him if you barge in alone?"

Zhou Feixing was enraged by his words. Who did he think he was? On second thought, he realized it was true. He turned to Zhou Tianyuan and said, "Together!"

Both Grandmasters of the Eastern Sect are from the Human Sect. They are certain that this is an internal family matter. No matter how powerful Zhou You is, he cannot kill them. There is still hope of interrupting their 'nonsense'.

Even an old master would struggle in a one-on-one fight, let alone with the help they brought along. They swarmed him and separated him from the group.

Just as Zhou Tianyuan and his group had expected, they were all family, and it was best not to use any drastic measures without first breaking off relations.

"Don't do anything rash! You all know what kind of person Zhou Nanwang is!"

The venerable master shouted loudly to stop him.

Just as Zhou Tianyuan and Zhou Feixing were about to break in, the whole world suddenly fell silent, as if a giant hammer had fallen from the sky and smashed all sounds in the world to pieces.

The defensive instincts of the two veteran masters took effect immediately, producing a round light shield, which was clearly a high-level application of the Liuli Shouguang Fist.

But the light shield burst as soon as it appeared, just like a bubble.

The sudden, terrifying pressure was none other than the spatial power that crushed their cultivation level—"Earth Sect!"

That's right, it was just an unconscious release of power from the Earth Sect that easily shattered their defenses.

There is only one person in the ancestral hall space now... Zhou Daqian.

"He actually broke through to the Earth Sect! Heavens! Both leaders of the Zhou Clan's Western Sect have reached the Earth Sect. In the next five hundred years, where will our Eastern Sect ever rise to prominence?"

A sense of despair welled up in Zhou Tianyuan's mind, but he was struck head-on by an immense, bitter force, causing him to stagger backward.

He and Zhou Feixing couldn't even get into the ancestral hall, and retreated in a sorry state.

Upon seeing this, the venerable master was overjoyed, "Daqian, Daqian, come out quickly! The people from the Eastern Sect are bullying our family!"

He glared at them, and the Dongzong members who had been surrounding him scattered in all directions, shrinking their heads and not daring to raise their heads.

Zhou You waved his hand, and a portal of light opened in the ancestral hall. He walked out through the portal and said, "There are quite a few people here. Please welcome me. Are you here specifically to celebrate my breakthrough to the Earth Sect?"

“Zhou Daqian, don’t think you can ignore your elders just because you’re from the Earth Sect. I’m asking you, you’ve completely destroyed the ancestral hall space, how do you plan to explain that?”

Zhou Feixing angrily rebuked him.

"That's it, easy to handle!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tianyuan said irritably, "Unless your adoptive father returns from Li Huo Prefecture, who can take over this mess!"

The ancestral hall space is not open to non-family members. To repair it, at least two conditions must be met: first, one must be a member of the Zhou family; second, one must be a member of the local branch of the Zhou clan, and specifically, one must be a member of the local branch with experience in building the city.

On the Zhou clan's western branch, only Zhou Nanwang met the criteria.

Dongzong does exist, but given the relationship between the two parties, it's impossible for him to pay for Zhou You's mistakes without compensation.

Zhou Tianyuan seized the opportunity to launch an attack, not only to hold Zhou Daqian accountable, but also to make the Zhou family's western branch bear the blame for this.

"It's a piece of cake. There's no need for a grandmaster to even step in. I can handle it myself!"

Zhou You patted his chest confidently, "Don't forget, I'm now a Earth Sect Master too."
