“Ah, if the Southern Wilds ever found out about the Divine Goddess and Qin Wang’s affair, it would make us a laughingstock.”
Fire Ye Old Ancestor said, “Indeed! The crucial point is that many forces in the Southern Wilds have come knocking, hoping to arrange a marriage with the Divine Goddess. If they discover the Supreme Profound Sect has been toying with them, wouldn’t the entire Southern Wilds mock us?”
Another Old Ancestor remarked, “The Primordial Yin Body has always been like this. What about our Ancestor? She must have been far better than Nangong Baixue.”
Fire Ye Old Ancestor shook his head. “Logically, yes. But for some reason, we’ve lost all memory of our Ancestor.”
The other Old Ancestor mused, “I always feel that Nangong Baixue and our Ancestor might be the same person, or perhaps Nangong Baixue is a wisp of our Ancestor’s divine soul.”
Fire Ye Old Ancestor’s expression turned thoughtful. “It’s unclear. But what’s certain is that the relationship between our Ancestor and Nangong Baixue is extremely close.”
The other Old Ancestor added, “I truly don’t understand what the Divine Goddess sees in Qin Wang. That fellow clings to her like a dog all day long.”
Fire Ye Old Ancestor shook his head. “By the way, do you know what the Divine Goddess meant by our sect’s strongest trump card?”
The other Old Ancestor looked bewildered. “No idea.”
The two said no more, flying towards the Yao Family’s domain.

In another direction, within Yaozhou.
A Black-robed Supreme from Dark Shadow Island was hidden deep within the void. He had received orders from the Dark Shadow Supreme, Monarch Xiao Nuo, the “Head of Eight Killers,” to investigate the White Robe Supreme.
Yao Feng Old Ancestor had already secretly contacted them, detailing the Silent Destruction Sect’s deal with the Yao Family.
But when they secretly tried to contact the Silent Destruction Sect, there was no reply.
Even contacting several magnates from the Silent Destruction Sect yielded no response.
“Could something have gone wrong?”
Monarch Xiao Nuo of Dark Shadow Island dispatched men to investigate.
In another direction, a Giant Tiger Great Demon was also at the edge of Yaozhou, preparing to head to the Yao Family.
His first objective was to trade with the Yao Family for pills.
The second was to gather information on the White Robe Supreme.
Currently, no Three-rotation Quasi-Dao Supremes had emerged from the Demon Court, as the Supreme Path had not yet opened.
Although the Second Heaven and Earth Change had arrived, the Supreme Path hadn’t fully evolved. Their emergence would constantly consume vast amounts of Blood Essence Power.
“It wasn’t worth the cost!”
Originally, the Demon Court intended to send a Three-rotation Quasi-Dao Supreme to annihilate the White Robe Supreme.
“But the Silent Destruction Sect has already made their move. With the Silent Destruction Old Man involved, nothing should go wrong.”
Thinking this, the Giant Tiger Great Demon accelerated, tearing through the sky like a meteor, streaking towards the Yao Family.
***
At the Yao Family.
Lu Xuan had already handed the Fire Refining Furnace to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was now a Five-star Great Emperor. The Heaven-Devouring Cauldron was merely a Six-star Emperor Weapon, so it was time for an upgrade.
Ye Chen couldn’t put it down.
Yao Qingfeng Old Ancestor led Lu Xuan and the others to the Yao Family’s main hall, where they began to prepare a meal.
Ji Fuyao asked with a smile, “Master, what are we eating today?”
Lu Xuan replied, “You decide.”
As he spoke, he took several Great Demon carcasses from his Storage Ring.
Lu Xuan said casually, “Demon spirit meat tastes better when it’s freshly killed.”
“But I’m too lazy to move right now.”
“Otherwise, I could just take a trip to the Demon Court and kill a few Great Demons.”
Lu Xuan murmured, “If only some Great Demons would just deliver themselves to my doorstep.”
Nearby, Ye Changfeng and Yao Liuli stood watching the scene.
Yao Liuli asked curiously, “Peak Master Lu is so powerful, why does he still need to eat?”
Ye Changfeng explained, “Peak Master Lu’s food isn’t ordinary food at all; it’s the real deal!”
Yao Liuli frowned. “The real deal?”
Ye Changfeng elaborated, “You’ll see in a moment. That pot is full of heaven-defying treasures, Heavenly Treasures. We’re truly blessed to partake this time.”
Just then.
Yao Yan looked at Yao Qingfeng Old Ancestor. “Old Ancestor, please bring out all of our clan’s Heavenly Treasures.”
Yao Qingfeng Old Ancestor was slightly stunned. “For what?”
Yao Yan pointed to the boiling pot. “To cook, of course.”
Yao Qingfeng Old Ancestor was utterly dumbfounded.
The Yao Family only had half a bowl of Azure Nether Celestial Water, half a bowl of All-Reach Profound Powder, half a bowl of Azure Origin Sweet Dew...
These were only added when refining Heaven-tier Ninth-grade pills!
And only a drop or two each time!
However, remembering the White Robe Supreme’s presence, Yao Qingfeng Old Ancestor gritted his teeth and went to the treasure vault, bringing out three ancient, large bowls.
He handed the three Heavenly Treasures to Lu Xuan, saying, “White Robe Supreme, you only need to add two or three drops of each Heavenly Treasure.”
Lu Xuan scoffed, “This little bit? Who’s that enough for? You’re truly stingy! Go and serve a bowl to everyone here.”
Yao Qingfeng Old Ancestor froze in place.
“Huh?”
“But... this is all the Yao Family has.”
Lu Xuan shook his head faintly. “A bit trashy. Just this much? Keep it as a family heirloom for the Yao Family then.”
Yao Qingfeng Old Ancestor: “……”
He felt like the White Robe Supreme was insulting him.
But he really wasn’t being stingy!
Ye Chen chuckled. He remembered Yao Yan often saying the Yao Family had half a bowl of this and half a bowl of that.
He’d thought it was a humble way of speaking.
He never expected it to be literally half a bowl.
Ye Chen said with a smile, “Old Ancestor, no need. I have some.”
He directly brought out over a dozen bottles, all filled with these three Heavenly Treasures.
As Ye Chen opened the caps and poured them into the large pot.
Yao Qingfeng Old Ancestor felt his heart stop.
“No!”
“This is an absolute waste!”
He nearly fell to the ground.
“This is just too extravagant!”
How heaven-defying was the White Robe Supreme’s foundation?
He was terrified!
Yao Yan chuckled, looking at Yao Qingfeng Old Ancestor. “Equanimity, Old Ancestor.”
Yao Qingfeng Old Ancestor: “……”
He was utterly defeated.
Just at this moment.
“Boom!”
“Crack!”
Above the Yao Family, the void tore open, and space twisted.
Two terrifyingly powerful auras surged out from the spatial rift—the auras of Two-rotation Quasi-Dao Supremes!
Everyone in the Yao Family was stunned.
“Who could it be?”
Soon, the two Old Ancestors from the Supreme Profound Sect, including Fire Ye Old Ancestor, slowly emerged. They looked down at the Yao Family and asked, “Where is Yao Feng Old Ancestor? Come out and meet us!”
Lu Xuan said calmly, “Let them in.”
Yao Qingfeng Old Ancestor immediately rose into the air, inviting Fire Ye Old Ancestor, “Please, come in.”
Seeing this, Fire Ye Old Ancestor and his companion were utterly bewildered.
“Isn’t that Yao Qingfeng Old Ancestor of the Yao Family?”
“Why is he personally greeting us?”
“Where’s Yao Feng?”
Fire Ye Old Ancestor and his companion bowed respectfully. “Senior, to be personally greeted by you, we are truly flattered.”
Yao Qingfeng Old Ancestor simply smiled.
Fire Ye Old Ancestor asked, “Where is Yao Feng?”
Yao Qingfeng Old Ancestor pointed to the distant grass and trees.
“Yao Feng has already become nourishment for the plants!”
Fire Ye Old Ancestor and his companion frowned slightly, not understanding.
As the two Old Ancestors approached the main hall, they caught the scent of the three Heavenly Treasures.
Both were incredibly shocked!
Wisps of cooking smoke curled upwards.
“Hmm?”
Fire Ye Old Ancestor asked, “Are they refining pills?”
Yao Qingfeng Old Ancestor replied, “Cooking.”
Fire Ye Old Ancestor and his companion exchanged a glance. This meal used three Heavenly Treasures; its effects must be heaven-defying! They feigned refusal. “Perhaps we shouldn’t partake.”
Yao Qingfeng Old Ancestor: “???”
“Who the hell invited you to eat?”
Soon after.
The three arrived at the main hall.
Lu Xuan said calmly, “Hello there.”
Fire Ye Old Ancestor and his companion instantly turned to stone. “White... White... White Robe Supreme?”
