Seven Mysterious Spaces: My Rise to Power in the Cultivation World

The sphere of light, as if it were alive, slowly enveloped the jade pendant.

The soft white light seeped into every inch of the jade pendant's texture, and the originally dull jade pendant began to emit a warm glow. The intricate patterns on it seemed to come alive, like dragons swimming across the surface of the jade pendant.

A powerful energy fluctuation emanated from the jade pendant, causing Zhuang Yu to feel a pang of fear.

Suddenly, a piercing alarm shattered the silence. Zhuang Yu jerked his eyes open, his expression changing drastically.

"Enemy attack!"

The deafening shouts of battle echoed through the sky, shrouding the entire sect in a tense atmosphere. Without a second thought, Zhuang Yu grabbed the jade pendant and rushed outside.

A group of men in black were seen attacking the sect disciples with ruthless and merciless moves.

Although the sect disciples fought valiantly, they were forced to retreat under the powerful offensive of the men in black.

Elder Zhao's face was ashen as he directed his disciples to engage in battle.

He spotted Zhuang Yu standing in the crowd at a glance and shouted angrily, "Zhuang Yu! What are you standing there for? Come and help!"

Zhuang Yu smiled bitterly to himself. What role could a Qi Refining stage disciple like him play in a battle of this level? But he still gritted his teeth and charged forward.

The man in black was far stronger than he had imagined. As soon as he got close, he was blasted away by a powerful force and crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Useless!" Elder Zhao glanced at him disdainfully and continued to direct the battle.

Zhuang Yu struggled to get up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

He knew he was weak, but he was unwilling to give up.

He gripped the jade pendant tightly in his hand, a sense of resentment rising within him.

Just then, a man in black spotted Zhuang Yu lying on the ground and charged toward him with a sinister grin.

The long sword in the man in black's hand gleamed coldly, about to pierce Zhuang Yu's chest.

At the critical moment, the jade pendant in Zhuang Yu's hand suddenly burst out with a dazzling light, and a powerful energy wave blasted the man in black away.

The jade pendant...moved?

Before Zhuang Yu could react, more men in black surrounded him.

He subconsciously channeled his spiritual energy into the jade pendant, which shone brightly and began to absorb the energy of the man in black's attack...

“This…” Zhuang Yu looked at the jade pendant in his hand and murmured to himself.

The jade pendant shimmered with light, greedily absorbing the black-clad man's sharp sword energy, fierce palm strikes, and even sucking in the flying pebbles.

Zhuang Yu felt a warm current flow into his body, and the spiritual energy he had consumed was rapidly recovering.

A thought struck him: Could this jade pendant absorb attacks and convert them into energy?

The men in black were horrified by this bizarre scene.

A leader in black, with a hideous scar on his face, shouted sharply, "This kid is strange! Attack him all at once and kill him first!"

Immediately, more men in black pounced on Zhuang Yu like hungry wolves.

The clash of swords and the palpable killing intent enveloped Zhuang Yu.

Zhuang Yu dared not be careless, and nimbly dodged while guiding the jade pendant to absorb the enemy's attacks.

"boom!"

The jade pendant shone brightly, and after absorbing energy to a critical point, it suddenly unleashed a powerful force that sent the surrounding men in black flying.

Some of the weaker men in black were directly struck by this force, coughing up blood and collapsing to the ground.

The surrounding disciples were all stunned.

They thought Zhuang Yu was doomed, but to their surprise, he managed to withstand the attacks of so many men in black with just a jade pendant, and even gained the upper hand.

Elder Zhao, who had initially looked disdainful, now stared wide-eyed at the scene in disbelief.

In all his years, he had never seen such a wondrous treasure.

Zhuang Yu felt overjoyed as he experienced the abundant spiritual energy within his body.

While dodging the attacks from the men in black, he guided the jade pendant to fight back.

The energy released by the jade pendant grew stronger and stronger, and its attacks became more and more precise, as if it had gained its own consciousness.

The scarred man in black had a grim expression; he realized things couldn't continue like this. He shouted, "Concentrate your forces and attack that jade pendant!"

The men in black changed formation again, concentrating all their attacks on the jade pendant. The jade pendant shimmered, bearing immense pressure.

Zhuang Yu felt his spiritual energy surging out like a tide, and he knew this couldn't go on. He gritted his teeth and poured all his spiritual energy into the jade pendant.

"Buzz!"

The jade pendant emitted a clear ringing sound, its light became even more dazzling, and a more powerful energy fluctuation emanated from it.

A tiny crack had appeared on the seal on the surface of the jade pendant.

"Click..."

Wang Yao stood at a distance, coldly watching everything, but her clenched fists betrayed her inner tension.

She whispered, "It's going to work..." The cracks in the jade pendant grew larger and larger, and finally, with a "bang," it shattered completely!

The seal is lifted!

A vast, ocean-like energy surged forth, transforming into a dazzling pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.

A powerful energy surge swept across the entire mountain gate, causing sand and stones to fly and trees to fall.

The men in black were like ants before this power, and they were all blasted away, their cries of agony rising and falling.

The scarred man in black turned deathly pale and cried out in terror, "What the hell is this?!" He turned to run away, but was struck by the aftershocks of the beam of light and fell heavily to the ground, his fate unknown.

As the light faded, the jade pendant transformed into a crystal-clear flying sword, hovering in front of Zhuang Yu. The sword emitted a faint cold light, and a powerful pressure emanated from it.

Zhuang Yu reached out and grasped the sword hilt, feeling a powerful surge of energy flowing into his body, filling him with immense excitement and confidence.

With a casual wave of his hand, a sharp sword aura shot out and cleaved a distant boulder in two.

The surrounding disciples were dumbfounded; they had never seen such power before.

Elder Zhao was so excited that he trembled all over. He quickly walked up to Zhuang Yu, his eyes filled with awe: "Zhuang Yu, you have made a great contribution! This divine sword is enough to greatly increase the strength of our sect!"

Holding his divine sword, Zhuang Yu looked around. The once arrogant and domineering men in black were now either dead or wounded, and the rest were all running away in fear.

He smiled calmly: "They're just a bunch of clowns." This nonchalant demeanor was completely different from before, adding to his air of a master.

Wang Yao, who had been observing coldly, was finally moved at this moment.

The cold frost in her eyes gradually melted away, replaced by an undisguised admiration.

She slowly walked up to Zhuang Yu, this was the first time she had taken the initiative to approach him, and whispered, "Are you... alright?"

Zhuang Yu sheathed his flying sword, turned to look at Wang Yao, and smiled slightly: "Of course it's alright. This little situation is no problem for me."

As night fell, the mountain gate returned to tranquility.

Zhuang Yu stood atop the mountain, gazing into the distance, his hand tightly gripping the flying sword that had transformed from the jade pendant.

He knew that this crisis was just the beginning.

Since that mysterious force dared to invade, it would never let the matter rest.

He needs to become stronger in order to protect himself and his sect.

“I’ll call this sword ‘Dawn’,” Zhuang Yu said softly, his eyes gleaming with determination.

“Dawn…Dawn…” Wang Yao repeated the name behind her, seemingly pondering its meaning.

The moonlight shone on Zhuang Yu, giving him a mysterious glow.

He suddenly turned his head and looked at Wang Yao, "You..."

"You..." Zhuang Yu paused, his gaze falling on the half-broken jade pendant in Wang Yao's hand. "Where did you get this half-jade pendant?" Wang Yao was startled, instinctively clenching the jade pendant tightly, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes.

"This...this is mine." Her tone was somewhat unnatural.

Zhuang Yu didn't press further, but simply smiled meaningfully, "Is that so?" He turned and looked into the distance again. The attack by the men in black was just the beginning; even greater challenges lay ahead.

He needs to improve his strength as soon as possible in order to gain a foothold in this perilous world of cultivation.

Although the Dawnbreaker Sword is powerful, one must be strong enough to unleash its full potential.

He recalled the mysterious space in his mind. Since transmigrating, he had possessed this magical cheat code, which contained not only various rare resources but also powerful cultivation techniques and secret manuals.

It's time to make good use of this opportunity.

"Tomorrow, I will go into seclusion." Zhuang Yu's tone was firm, carrying an unquestionable authority.

Wang Yao watched his retreating figure, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She felt that Zhuang Yu in front of her was no longer the ordinary disciple she could order around at will.

The powerful aura emanating from him made her feel both unfamiliar and... faintly expectant.

Zhuang Yu suddenly turned around, a wicked smile playing on his lips: "Wang Yao, protect me." He paused, then added, "This seclusion might change many things."
