“Master, I’ve broken through to the Profound Venerate Realm!”

Pill Saint Yunyang, now a Quasi-Emperor Realm expert, instinctively wanted to step back, but seeing Nangong Baixue’s exaggerated excitement, he reluctantly opened his arms, allowing her to rush into his embrace.

A faint, intoxicating fragrance wafted from Nangong Baixue’s hair. Even a powerhouse like Quasi-Emperor Yunyang felt a flicker of excitement, which he immediately suppressed.

"Master, you've also entered the Quasi-Emperor Realm," Nangong Baixue said, smiling sweetly. Her voluptuous figure pressed against him, separated only by thin layers of clothing. She could clearly feel her master's heart rate accelerating.

Quasi-Emperor Yunyang nodded. "Old Ancestor Nanchenzi performed the Great Emperor Dao Pattern Baptism for us. Give me a little more time to fully absorb the residual power of the Great Emperor Dao Patterns, and I will be able to step into the Emperor Realm!"

"Congratulations, Master!" Nangong Baixue laughed, a mesmerizing, seductive sound. She subtly controlled her alluring posture, making small, continuous movements, gently rubbing against him. She felt her master's body temperature rise.

She sneered internally. Heh, all men under Heaven are like this. Not a single one can withstand the test! Even Master is so hypocritical!

At that moment, Quasi-Emperor Yunyang gently pushed Nangong Baixue away, his face flushed. They were master and disciple; how could they behave so improperly? In a few more breaths, he felt he would have completely lost control! As expected of the Primordial Yin Body!

The Primordial Yin Body possessed an innate, seductive charm, a bewitchment etched into her very bones. As Nangong Baixue's cultivation deepened, this charm only intensified. Quasi-Emperor Yunyang vaguely recalled that when he first took Nangong Baixue as a disciple, though her figure was exquisite, he had never harbored any improper thoughts. But now, he felt that intense, forbidden stirring. A sin, a terrible sin!

After a moment of silence, Quasi-Emperor Yunyang composed himself and smiled. "Baixue, the Sect Master just informed me that our sect will soon open up more cultivation resources for you Divine Goddess candidates. Furthermore, Old Ancestor Nanchenzi will perform the Great Emperor Dao Pattern Baptism for you soon!"

Nangong Baixue paused, stunned. The Great Emperor Dao Pattern Baptism! She knew that Ji Fuyao had already stepped into the Saint King Realm—Ji Fuyao, who had only been a Profound Venerate a short time ago, was now a figure she had to look up to. If she could undergo the Great Emperor Dao Pattern Baptism, her strength would also skyrocket!

Nangong Baixue mused, This must be the result of my subtle physical closeness with Master. He must be fighting hard for me. It seems I must maintain a firm grip on Master.

With this thought, Nangong Baixue threw herself back into Quasi-Emperor Yunyang's arms, gently rubbing her face against his chest. Her raven hair cascaded like a waterfall, brushing his face like a spring breeze.

Quasi-Emperor Yunyang's heart pounded faster. He thought, This child... He tried to push her away, but Nangong Baixue suddenly looked up, her eyes red with fabricated tears. "Master, do you know what you are to me?"

Quasi-Emperor Yunyang was speechless. Nangong Baixue continued, "I see you as another father figure. I have no one else to rely on in the Supreme Profound Sect. Now, only you remain."

Hearing this, Quasi-Emperor Yunyang breathed a sigh of relief. No wonder Nangong Baixue had seemed like a different person since the Ancient Qin Family's annihilation—it was this deep-seated emotional trauma. He felt a wave of paternal protectiveness.

A moment later, Quasi-Emperor Yunyang recounted the events that had transpired in Tianluo State. Instantly, Nangong Baixue tore herself from his embrace, her pleasant mood vanishing entirely.

The White Robe Great Emperor is that powerful? How was she supposed to kill Ye Chen and annihilate the Ye Family now? With the Fuyao Dynasty on the verge of resurgence, the Supreme Profound Sect certainly wouldn't dare move against the Ye Family directly. Who else could she rely on? Who?!

A sense of profound crisis washed over her, and her expression grew serious. "Master, I must become the Divine Goddess! You must support me!" Quasi-Emperor Yunyang nodded firmly. "I will always stand behind you."

Nangong Baixue said, "Master, I'm going to Supreme Peak to have a deep discussion with those monstrous geniuses." Quasi-Emperor Yunyang simply hummed in acknowledgment.

Soon after, Nangong Baixue left her master's cave dwelling, soaring on divine rainbow light toward Supreme Peak. Qin Wang, who had been waiting anxiously, was ecstatic when he saw her descend, barely able to contain his excitement.

Nangong Baixue, however, completely ignored Qin Wang and walked straight to the entrance of Chu Yuan's cave dwelling. Chu Yuan was the strongest of the Divine Son candidates, and she intended to bring him under her control.

Qin Wang was thunderstruck, his face a mask of shock, as if he had plunged into the deepest hell. He screamed hoarsely, "No! No..." He was in agony.

Nangong Baixue sent a mental transmission to Chu Yuan, requesting an audience. Chu Yuan replied curtly, "I am cultivating. I will not see you." Nangong Baixue's expression flickered, but a slight smile played on her lips. "I will return." Chu Yuan offered no response.

Nangong Baixue then stepped into Qin Wang's cave dwelling and immediately slapped him across the face. "Waste! Consider yourself lucky today!"

Qin Wang clutched his stinging cheek, but internally, he was overjoyed. He had been waiting for this moment! Nangong Baixue casually shed her robes, revealing her voluptuous curves, her delicate, pale abdomen, and her jade-like legs—the sight Qin Wang had been yearning for. The breathtaking scene made Qin Wang shiver, not from cold, but from intense, perverse anticipation.

Before long, Nangong Baixue let out a soft moan, her body twisting slightly. "Baixue, is it my turn now?" Qin Wang whispered. Nangong Baixue looked disgusted but did not refuse.

A few breaths later, Qin Wang cried out, and everything fell silent. All things in the world became tasteless and dull.

Nangong Baixue was furious. Her jade foot repeatedly struck Qin Wang's face. "Waste!" Yet, Qin Wang simply smiled.

Stone Demon Race territory. The cultivators of the Stone Demon Race were gripped by overwhelming panic. Ever since the White Robe Great Emperor declared his intention to annihilate the Stone Demon Race, they had immediately activated their Protective Clan Array.

That was a living God of Slaughter! Their own Stone Demon Race Old Ancestor had been instantly killed; what chance did they have? The Stone Demon Race sent out distress calls to other non-human races, but they were all ruthlessly rejected. At this point, who dared offend the White Robe Great Emperor? Their former allies quickly cut all ties. The Stone Demon Race was immediately struck off the list of Sacred Races!

The Blood Demon Race was in the exact same predicament. They, too, had activated their Protective Clan Array. The Stone Demon Race and the Blood Demon Race had become brothers in misery, their elders secretly gathering to discuss the crisis.

An elder from the Blood Demon Race suggested, "Why don't we follow the example of the Fire Dragon Old Ancestor and the Golden Crow Old Ancestor and go to the Grand Dao Sect to beg for forgiveness?"

A Stone Demon elder countered, "I feel that if we go, the White Robe Great Emperor might just instantly kill us! For a supreme expert like him, once a word is spoken, it becomes an Iron Law. There is no going back!"

Everyone's face turned ashen. "Then what should we do? Are we just waiting for death?"

The Blood Demon Race elders looked furious. "That damned Old Ancestor! Why did he have to stick his nose where it didn't belong? The other Sacred Races didn't attack, so nothing happened to them. But he just had to challenge the White Robe Great Emperor!"

The Stone Demon elders wore equally bitter expressions. They couldn't understand why their Old Ancestor had been so certain that the White Robe Great Emperor was on his last legs and insisted on testing him. It was utterly idiotic! The elders deliberated for a long time, but achieved nothing. They could only return dejectedly, hoping that the White Robe Great Emperor would simply forget about them.

Meanwhile, Chen Changsheng had already descended upon the Stone Demon Race territory. He muttered to himself, "Master's spatial array patterns are truly formidable. My speed when Traversing the Void has increased several times over!"

A moment later, he concealed his figure and scanned the surroundings. The Stone Demon Race territory was built among continuous mountain ranges. The terrain was rugged, filled with rolling boulders and little fertile soil. However, the Stone Demon Race had used heaven-defying methods to cultivate spirit herbs even within the rocks, demonstrating profound ingenuity. Atop the numerous spiritual peaks were countless stone houses, palaces, and towers, densely packed and nestled within endless spiritual forests. It was an orderly, vast, and imposing sight.

The Stone Demon Race had already activated their Protective Clan Array. Chen Changsheng frowned slightly and pulled out a black, ancient array plate.

In the next instant, Chen Changsheng's hand seals shifted, and mysterious Dao patterns surged across the array plate. He effortlessly stepped inside the Stone Demon Race's Protective Clan Array. He carefully examined the Protective Clan Array, a plan forming in his mind. He intended to directly modify the Stone Demon Race's formation, transforming it into a Life-and-Death Killing Array!

Once the modification was complete, the Stone Demon Race would have no time to react—they would be instantly annihilated by their own formation! Chen Changsheng murmured, "This is the perfect chance to utilize the array patterns I learned from the Nine Dragons Devouring Heaven Array back in Tianluo State."
