After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person-Chapter 539: The Daoist Orders
Little Pure was extremely anxious, struggling with all her might.
Although this place was filled with magnetic fields, making it impossible for her to see through others’ hearts, she could discern the looks in their eyes.
She could tell at a glance that Tuoba Qingshan harbored ill intent and wanted to consign Chen Yu to death.
Just as the young girl was exerting all her strength to rush into the grand hall, a sudden thunderclap sounded in the sky, followed by a torrential downpour of lightning that converged within the hall through its intricate mechanism, gathering upon Chen Yu’s body.
[Detection of ionized power]
[System integration in progress]
[Absorption complete]
[Next round of ionized power reception in preparation]
With the system’s notification sounds ringing out one after another, Chen Yu felt an incredibly surging power coursing through his body.
Not only were his blood vessels and meridians affected, but even his bones had become several times stronger than before.
Round after round of thunder and lightning worked upon him, imparting endless strength.
However, most of this power was now converging upon the system.
When Ling Ling had previously taken form, it was merely a virtual electronic image, but now it was nearing physical reality.
If the thunder and lightning power here was strong enough, Ling Ling would undoubtedly use it to coalesce into a physical entity.
The high platform at this moment had been enveloped in a thick haze of smoke and dust, and the situation with Chen Yu was completely obscured.
But with such immense power at play, it would be unlikely for anyone to come out unscathed.
Tuoba Qingshan began to cackle wildly outside the grand hall.
"I thought the people from the Daoist sect had chosen a strong character, but who would have expected them to put a naive youngster in charge, and he just obediently took the seat!"
Tuoba Qingfeng also came over, "Your Excellency, after killing this guy, can we then announce the opening of the Divine Eagle Sect and declare war on the Daoist sect?"
Tuoba Qingshan nodded, "Of course, after so many years, our wishes can finally be fulfilled!"
"Your Excellency!" a subordinate, clearly annoyed, grabbed hold of Little Pure, "What about this little girl? Should we get rid of her right here and now?"
Tuoba Qingshan was somewhat impatient.
"Is such a trivial matter even worth reporting? Throw her down the mountain!"
No sooner had this order been given than the high platform in the center of the great hall suddenly exploded, and along with half of the hall, it turned to ruins.
Tuoba Qingshan was ecstatic, thinking to himself that Chen Yu was certainly dead beyond doubt.
Just as he was about to go up and check, a swath of the ruins suddenly exploded, and Chen Yu leapt out from within.
Before he could react, Chen Yu moved like lightning to Little Pure’s side and rescued her.
"The old master really didn’t lie to me! The feeling of the Thunder & Lightning Tempering is just exhilarating, I’ve already got a sense of enlightenment!"
Everyone from the Divine Eagle Sect stared at Chen Yu with a gaze full of terror.
They all knew that the high platform was a trap designed to kill Chen Yu.
But now, not only was he not dead, but he also seemed to have become far more formidable than before he took his seat.
Little Pure also breathed a sigh of relief and quickly grabbed onto Chen Yu’s arm.
"Big brother, don’t let them deceive you! They just admitted that they were plotting to kill you."
Chen Yu rolled his eyes on purpose.
"You little girl, what do you know? This is the benevolence of these seniors! Besides, if they sent me for the Thunder & Lightning Tempering, wouldn’t they want to go themselves?"
Chen Yu went straight to Tuoba Qingshan.
"The sensation just now was incredibly exhilarating. If you could take a few hits there, I guarantee that all your old injuries would heal instantly, and you might even become fifty years younger!"
Tuoba Qingshan was somewhat dazed; he had no idea what method Chen Yu had used to survive such a thunderstrike.
But he knew that if it were him, the only outcome would have been to be reduced to dust and bones.
"Sect Leader Chen is extremely insightful and naturally can attain enlightenment that way. I, a old man on the verge of death, simply cannot do it. Let’s forget about it!"
Chen Yu didn’t care about that much; he suddenly exerted force and pushed Tuoba Qingshan directly into the middle of the ruins.
Although this place was destroyed by the thunder, the mechanism was still active.

Before Tuoba Qingshan could react, Chen Yu promptly triggered the mechanism.
Powerful thunder fell from the sky and instantly enveloped Tuoba Qingshan.
The elders of the Divine Eagle Sect were stunned.
Everything had happened too quickly; they hadn’t had time to react.
By the time they went forward to rescue, Tuoba Qingshan had already turned into a handful of dust, settling among the ruins.
Tuoba Qingfeng turned his head furiously.
"Chen, you really don’t appreciate favors. Our Sect Leader kindly helped you find the path of enlightenment, and you killed him."
Chen Yu put on an innocent face.
"You can’t blame me; I went in there too, and came out just fine, didn’t I? Why did it not work for your Sect Leader? Could it be that you intended to put me to death from the start?"
The elders stood there looking at each other, unsure of what to do.
At that moment, a remarkably strong current was released from Chen Yu’s body, knocking these fellows unconscious.
Only then did Ling Ling understand, "Big brother, did you plan all of this from the beginning?"
Chen Yu rubbed Ling Ling’s head, "You could say that!"
The two of them didn’t linger there too long and made their way back to the underground castle along the path they arrived.
With Tuoba Qingshan dead, and the other elders of the Divine Eagle Sect all knocked out on the mountain,
all that was needed was to send a message to the people of the Taoist sect, asking them to send someone to take over the Divine Eagle Sect.
When the Sect Leader of Sacred Mountain arrived there, Chen Yu and Ling Ling were sitting in a shop, enjoying their barbecue in comfort.
"Young brother!" The Sect Leader rushed up excitedly, grabbing Chen Yu’s arm and shaking it non-stop.
"For centuries, I never imagined that the Divine Eagle Sect would fall at your hands! From now on, you are the helmsman of the Taoist..."
Before he could finish, Chen Yu immediately stood up.
"Sect Leader, I truly have no interest in that position, and besides, it wasn’t me who annihilated the Divine Eagle Sect. That Tuoba Qingshan just accidentally got struck to death by lightning during his practice! It’s better to find someone more senior, a Heavenly Master, to take on this helmsman role."

After making a few perfunctory excuses, Chen Yu pulled Ling Ling and prepared to leave.
Just as they stepped out, a few Taoists blocked their way.
"No one has ever dared to be so insolent in front of the real Sect Leader. Chen Yu, you’d better kneel down and kowtow to apologize, or else we’ll immediately execute the Taoist law on you!"
Chen Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly, as blue-white electric light flashed all around his body, and an unprecedented power pressed out.
"Step aside, or don’t blame me for not honoring the fellowship of our sect!"
The several Taoists were immediately intimidated and involuntarily retreated.
