I Am Overlord

Chapter 1458: Advancement Complete

Promotion token!

The so-called promotion token wasn\'t an actual physical token. Rather, it was something formed from a strand of God Realm energy of a super expert from the Guardians Guild. That strand of energy was the guild\'s means of assessing whether an organization was qualified for advancement. If the Ziling Sect wasn\'t able to withstand the descent of the promotion token, it would prove that the sect still wasn\'t qualified to become a tier-8 organization.

Only by successfully withstanding the promotion token would the Ziling Sect officially become a tier-8 organization. The token appeared out of the void and filled the sky with boundless radiance. Those in the Celestial King Province, Soaring Dragon Province, and some other provinces could all see the change in the sky.

The birth of every tier-8 organization could be considered a major event of a province. The cultivators of the various provinces were alarmed.

"It\'s the Guardians Guild\'s promotion token! An organization is trying to advance into a tier-8 organization. It seems to be happening in the Celestial King Province."

"It\'s the Celestial King Province\'s Ziling Sect. That young king of Saints is finally showing his strength."

"It is rumored that the Ziling Sect and the Di Clan are enemies. After the advancement, a war will definitely start between them."

"I wonder if they can successfully advance. The advancement test isn\'t simple."

...

The promotion token rushed toward the sect. Like the sharpest of weapons, it dropped down with the might of a God Realm expert. All the ambient energy above the Ziling Sect was squeezed out as a boundless force descended upon the sect.

Looking at the massive power above him, Xiang Shaoyun released all his strength and wrapped his body in primal inception energy as he roared, "The Ziling Sect is willing to become a tier-8 organization!"

"The Ziling Sect is willing to become a tier-8 organization!"

"The Ziling Sect is willing to become a tier-8 organization!"

All the Ziling Sect members roared as they released all their strength. A massive amount of incorporeal power erupted from all the members and gathered around the sect\'s flower of incorporeal power. The flower of incorporeal power started growing incessantly, eventually taking the form of a lotus that hung above the Ziling Sect and blocked the descending promotion token. A massive sound of collision erupted, causing the entirety of the Ziling Sect\'s territory to shake, tormenting all the Ziling Sect members with a massive pressure.

"The Ziling Sect is willing to become a tier-8 organization!"

"The Ziling Sect is willing to become a tier-8 organization!"

Xiang Shaoyun continued roaring as his aura became one with the flower of incorporeal power. He soared into the sky, formed a dragon claw with his hand, and reached out for the promotion token.

The promotion token had been stopped by the flower of incorporeal power. It wanted to charge through the flower, but Xiang Shaoyun wouldn\'t give it the chance to do so as he caught the token in his hand.

The promotion token was an object formed of God Realm energy. It represented the birth of a tier-8 organization and the acknowledgment from the Guardians Guild. The moment Xiang Shaoyun caught the token in his hand, the token dispersed into a myriad of rays of light that rained down on the Ziling Sect\'s territory.

The rain of pure God Realm energy would benefit all Ziling Sect members. As the person taking the brunt of the rain, Xiang Shaoyun could feel a collection of boundless energy before him. As he opened his mouth, a large amount of energy was absorbed into his astral cosmos sea, instantly increasing his energy accumulation by a large amount.

Thanks to the God Realm energy, he instantly reached the peak second-stage Saint Realm.

He could absorb even more of the energy, but he hurriedly stopped because he didn’t want to monopolize the energy. He allowed more energy to rain down upon the Ziling Sect members. The moment the Ziling Sect members felt the energy entering their bodies, they sat down cross-legged unhesitatingly and started absorbing the incoming energy.

Those below the Heaven Battling Realm all benefited greatly, especially those young disciples who were able to break through several stages in one go. As for the Kings and Emperors, they were also able to advance by one or two stages.

Even Sovereigns were breaking through. As for the Saints, they had benefited greatly as well. For example, Green Ghost finally succeeded in taking that step forward, becoming a pseudo-God. A powerful phenomenon formed from his breakthrough, further strengthening the Ziling Sect\'s incorporeal power.

The promotion token\'s energy continued raining down for about half a day. The eight-petaled lotus hanging above the Ziling Sect became more and more corporeal as the sect completed their incorporeal power\'s formation. They had successfully advanced into a tier-8 organization!

More than half of their members had broken through during the promotion while the rest had also benefited greatly. This was a day the Ziling Sect left their mark in the annals of history.

"Haha, I actually broke through three stages in a row! This is amazing!"

"I broke through two stages. It\'s a pity that the rain is so short. I\'m only a tiny bit away from the next stage."

"I actually entered the Dragon Ascension Realm? How inconceivable."

"This is the blessing of a God Realm expert. The Ziling Sect has advanced successfully. We are all truly lucky to be able to encounter something like this."

…

Looking at the changes in the Ziling Sect and their collective growth, Xiang Shaoyun was filled with pride. He faced the sky and muttered, "Father, do you see this? The Ziling Sect has finally advanced into a tier-8 organization!"

Once, he was a youngster whose sole goal was to reclaim the Ziling Sect. Now, he was over 30 years old and had successfully turned the Ziling Sect into a tier-8 organization. As he looked at the sight before him, he thought all the sweat and blood he shed was worth it.

At this time, he raised his brows and looked in a certain direction. With his divine dao eyes, he saw through everything. A figure appeared in his vision, causing his expression to turn complicated. After some hesitation, he rushed over with the Sky Measuring Step.

As for the Ziling Sect members, they were still intoxicated in their growth. Only a few people noticed Xiang Shaoyun leave, but it was not their place to control what Xiang Shaoyun did. In any case, they couldn\'t sense any danger, so they assumed that Xiang Shaoyun must have comprehended something or was leaving to get something done.

The visitor remained motionless even after seeing Xiang Shaoyun come his way. He was absolutely confident that Xiang Shaoyun wouldn\'t notice him. The visitor was an imperial nether devil, and he was using the Invisible Nether ability to hide. As a Devil God, he had managed to escape the human supervision at the South Divine Devil before coming over to Xiang Shaoyun\'s place. He had been able to approach without being discovered by anyone, proving how skilled he was at concealment.

"Lord, may I ask what you\'re doing here? Are you here for me?" asked Xiang Shaoyun when he arrived near the imperial nether devil.
