Cheat Cultivator's Ascension

Turning back time a little, the moment that Su Xiaotian releases his one-shot Half-step Celestial Realm level attack.

----------

In a deep space somewhere, a tall lady bearing a great axe on her back turns towards a specific place in the horizon, her senses detecting something massively powerful from an aura that feels quite familiar to her, which makes her all the more confused.

Beside her, a man who seems to be of the same age of hers directed his gaze towards the direction she is looking to as well, his eyes widening in disbelief as this familiar aura that is supposed to be from the person they must keep their eyes on and even protect should he encounters something that he couldn't deal with now showing an extremely powerful might.

"Senior brother, do we even need to protect him with that kind of strength?" another one of these people, standing right behind these pair of cultivators that possesses an extremely high cultivation level for the eastern continent, said with a hint of helplessness on his face, as even this person who just spoke is not even confident of receiving that strike unharmed himself.

"Forget about whether do we need to protect him and focus on whether he should be protected now, showing that kind of power…" thinking that this is a kind of trump card of the young man that their master, Hua Xingtian, told them to watch over, the leader of this group, the man who seems to get even the respect of the prideful great axe bearing tall lady, said as he expands his senses beyond normal, trying to look into the location where the young man is currently located.

"There's no need for that, senior brother, the kid is fine, it seems like he is just showing off" the great axe bearing lady said as she detected the power coming out from this senior brother of theirs, her words causing the man to increase the strength of his senses even more as he got more curious once he heard the words that his junior martial sister said.

As his senses finally arrives on the place where this immortal-like young man is, he couldn't help but feel like this place is quite peculiar, somehow hindering his senses from completely looking into this place, however, seeing that the young man seems to be fine and surrounded by people whom they already identified on the past as his companions.

"That is one crazy show off then" as he dispels his senses and allows it to return to normal, the leader of this group said with a wry smile on his face, causing the great axe bearing lady, as well as the fellow brothers and sisters behind the two of them to start laughing involuntarily.

Despite this joking atmosphere around them, all of them are pretty aware of the significance of this event happening, and the fact alone that this young man who has yet to reach even just the Soul Formation Realm is able to bring out a power equivalent to that of the highest level of the Half-step Celestial Realm made them feel like the times are definitely changing.

----------

Meanwhile beyond the grasp of the Sky Soul Star, two old men are currently playing go, one of them appearing to be someone with an absolutely unbending and proud bearing, while the other old man being completely different from this seemingly powerful one with this one bearing a peculiar and eerie aura that made him appear older than he really is despite his build being similar to that of the other old man.

As the one with an absolute aura puts down a piece on the playing board, he pauses as he detected something from a specific place from the planet just a few kilometers away from the two of them, a peculiar power that the two of them are pretty familiar with, which makes them wonder all the more how is such a thing possible when the power they detected pierced through the lower atmosphere of the planet and breaking through low outer space.

"That kid…" seeing that attack dissipating just a few hundred meters from them, the peculiar old man mutters and pauses as he saw the unmistakable smile of interest on this prideful old man's face, making him pretty clear of what this old friend is thinking about.

"My predictions seems to missed big time this time around, it seems like he is all but not ready for that thing" this peculiar old man said vaguely causing the other old man to smile in agreement, nodding his head as he looks over the planet that seems to be just too beautiful for anyone to abandon it, not to mention that even if it is not that beautiful he will still refuse to leave it alone given that this is the planet that nurtures him to who he is today, a celestial, unageing and immortal.

"When the barrier between the Eastern and Western Continent completely falls apart and those two places gets connected… that kid will definitely take all the spotlight for himself and create a new wave of cultivation trend in our world" the prideful looking old man said with a smile of anticipation visible on his face, wondering just what sort of other surprises can this young man bring not only him but the entire world, and even this vast field of stars beyond their home world.

Looking up into the stars, his opponent on this game of go, the peculiar old man, smiles as well while looking up at all these sparkling wonders that seems to tell him something that goes beyond just predicting the future, as if it is telling him an absolute that cannot be bent and changed.

"A pillar of light that reveals it's brilliance to all of creation and the eternal darkness that will time and time again try to devour it, which is it that will triumph over the other?" as his gaze returns to this old friend of his, the peculiar old man said with a trace of profoundness in his tone, something that this friend of his rarely hears from him, and also something that he doesn't really like hearing as all of this prediction when the peculiar old man feels like this are always something that turns into reality with an uncanny precision.

"Whatever, that wave is not for us old timers, let the young ones continue our legacy and push forward for us" the prideful looking old man replies as he saw that his friend ends his turn once again, prompting him to think now as he refuses to just lose on this little game of theirs despite not even having any sort of bet in the line for both of them.

Hearing the words of his friend, the peculiar old man couldn't help but look at him once again before revealing a complicated look, which is filled more of a positive mix of surprise, amusement entertainment and some sort of enlightenment and anticipation mixed into them, this expression on his face disappearing as he cracks into a laughter after completely processing what this old friend of his said.
