“Lu Xuan is back!”
Dao Xuan Old Ancestor and the others, their forms shimmering with divine light, quickly arrived by Lu Xuan’s side.
The Sect Master looked at Ji Fuyao and the others. “Fuyao, what cultivation realm have you all reached now?”
Ji Fuyao’s beautiful eyes sparkled as she smiled. “Star Venerate Realm!”
Hearing this, the numerous Old Ancestors were all stunned. “Weren’t they just Supreme a while ago? How did they jump straight to Star Venerate Realm? Their cultivation was as effortless as breathing or drinking water!”
Many of the Old Ancestors had only just managed to break through to the Supreme Realm themselves! And that was only thanks to the world’s recent upgrade and the immense cultivation resources Lu Xuan had left behind!
Lu Xuan chuckled, taking out several storage rings and handing them to the Old Ancestors and the Sect Master. “Esteemed Old Ancestors, please don’t hold back on using the cultivation resources inside.”
The Old Ancestors swept their divine senses through the rings and were instantly dumbfounded. The cultivation resources within were simply heaven-defying! Supreme Spirit Weapons! Star Venerate Spirit Weapons! Piled up like mountains! There were also vast quantities of Star Stones, not just Lower-grade Star Stones, but a massive amount of Middle-grade Star Stones too! As for Elixirs, Array Disks, and Talismans, they were as boundless as the sea, countless in number.
“This is too much! Far too much!”
The Old Ancestors accepted them with smiles on their faces. Dao Xuan Old Ancestor smiled and said, “Lu Xuan, please stay in the sect for a few more days this time.”
Lu Xuan chuckled. “Alright.”
Soon after.
Lu Xuan and Ji Fuyao, along with the others, returned to Azure Mystery Peak.
Ji Fuyao’s beautiful eyes sparkled. “Master, I’m going to find Qing Yan and Wang Man to give them some cultivation resources.”
Lu Xuan nodded.
Ye Chen said, “Master, I’m going to visit my father and mother.”
Lu Xuan nodded.
Xuanji Holy Lord, meanwhile, directly summoned the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone.
Soon, Heavenly Fire Supreme and Heavenly Splendor Supreme, along with their retinue, arrived, stepping through the void.
Xuanji Holy Lord delicately raised her hand, and several storage rings flew out.
Heavenly Fire Supreme and Heavenly Splendor Supreme took them, their eyes widening in disbelief.
“Many thanks, Holy Lord!”
For the next few days, Lu Xuan remained on Azure Mystery Peak.
……
The Second Star Ring.
The star where the Charm Sect was located.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Dozens of Cloud Ships suddenly appeared, endless Dao patterns carved into their hulls, divine light piercing the heavens and illuminating the void.
Liu Ruyan gazed at the ruins of the Charm Sect, her heart utterly unmoved. Sacrificing the Charm Sect had bought her control over the Sixth Prince, Yun Zeng. A worthwhile trade. That day, Yun Zeng had destroyed this star, but the Charm Sect’s ultimate inheritance had not been taken.
Soon.
Liu Ruyan, clad in a long dress, stepped forward with her delicate feet, her hands forming Spirit Arts. With each step, a profound aura surged around her as she walked directly into a deep abyss.
Yun Zeng, with a sweep of his sleeve, commanded, “Guard the Dao!”
Numerous powerful cultivators spread out, completely encircling the star where the Charm Sect was located.
Within the abyss.
Liu Ruyan saw the entrance to the Charm Sect’s inheritance grounds. It was still protected by a multitude of seals and restrictions.
“Zheng!”
A sword hum rang out.
Liu Ruyan took out Yun Zeng’s Spirit Sword and unleashed a single slash! The surging power of a High-star Myriad Phase Realm cultivator transformed into a towering river of sword qi. This river pierced through the starry sky, directly obliterating all the seals and restrictions.
Liu Ruyan stepped inside, the bloodline power of Shenwu Emperor Tianye boiling within her. She immediately sat down cross-legged.
Boom!
Circles of mysterious array patterns appeared around her, and a pink aura surged like a tide. Liu Ruyan began refining the ultimate inheritance power. Her cultivation began to surge relentlessly!
Two days later.
Liu Ruyan slowly opened her eyes. In that instant, the oppressive power of the Myriad Phase Realm erupted from her body, sweeping through the abyss like a tempest.
“Crack!”
“Crack!”
The sheer pressure alone caused the abyss to begin collapsing.
Liu Ruyan looked at the destructive power around her and murmured, “Is this the Myriad Phase Realm?” She had finally stepped into the Myriad Phase Realm! The moment she entered the Myriad Phase Realm, Liu Ruyan felt a sealed power within her inner world begin to shatter. She swept her divine sense inward and was utterly stunned. Within her inner world, there was an incredibly terrifying seal. It was a Starry Sky Imprint! An Ancient Ancestor Imprint! As she entered the Myriad Phase Realm, cracks began to appear in this seal.
A colossal wave surged in Liu Ruyan’s heart. She couldn’t help but recall how she had refined the Ancient Ancestor power of Shenwu Emperor Tianye without any backlash. She had thought the Ancient Ancestor power wasn’t strong enough to cause a backlash, but in reality, she herself harbored a secret! “Who am I? What is my true identity?” Liu Ruyan frowned slightly. An Ancient Ancestor’s seal actually existed within her body! In that moment, endless scenes from Liu Ruyan’s past replayed in her mind. Soon, Liu Ruyan understood. A mysterious force had been pushing her towards the peak! Could any other Primordial Yin Body achieve what she had? Perhaps the Ancient Ancestor Imprint within her had always been propelling her forward.
Thinking of this, Liu Ruyan’s eyes blazed. “I need to keep breaking through!” As her cultivation continuously rose, she would be able to unlock the Ancient Ancestor’s seal and uncover her own secrets. For a moment, Liu Ruyan felt a surge of excitement. She knew she wasn’t simple! If it were anyone else, or if she had to start over, could she reach this current peak? She remained skeptical! Liu Ruyan carefully investigated, finding that the Ancient Ancestor Imprint within her held no malice. Her heartbeat grew louder and louder! This had to be her own destined opportunity. She had originally thought she had climbed to this position by stepping on men, but now, it seemed those men weren’t even worthy of her!
A moment later, Liu Ruyan stepped out of the ruined abyss, her delicate feet carrying her directly to Yun Zeng’s side. She said indifferently, “To the Qianhuan Sect!”
Hearing this, Yun Zeng gave the order, “To the Qianhuan Sect!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Dozens of Cloud Ships shot forth directly towards the main sect of the Qianhuan Sect. Wherever they passed, divine light pierced the heavens, like a brilliant river of stars.
Throughout the Second Star Ring, numerous hegemon-level forces were utterly astonished. “What’s happening? The Sixth Prince of Shenwu Emperor Tianye, Yun Zeng, actually brought Liu Ruyan into the Second Star Ring? What are they planning? Wait. Liu Ruyan actually broke through to One-star Myriad Phase Realm!”
Aboard the Cloud Ship, Liu Ruyan’s gaze swept over the hidden observers, her face filled with disdain. Ever since discovering the Ancient Ancestor Imprint within her, she felt that the cultivators of the Second Star Ring were beneath her. This trip to the Qianhuan Sect—no matter the cost, she would obtain its ultimate inheritance! Because the Qianhuan Sect was once an Ancient Ancestor-level force. Due to the Ancient Ancestor War over the Bronze Ancient Palace, the Qianhuan Sect had declined, becoming a mere force in the Second Star Ring. If she could obtain the Qianhuan Sect’s Ancient Ancestor inheritance, she would surely uncover her own secrets.
Half a day later.
“Boom!”
“Crack!”
The void above the Qianhuan Sect suddenly tore open. Dozens of Cloud Ships shot out from the rift, divine light piercing the heavens, and killing intent surged like a tide.
Boom!
A Grey-robed Elder rose into the air, bowing respectfully to the Sixth Prince, Yun Zeng. “May I ask why Your Royal Highness has graced our humble sect with your presence?”
Yun Zeng, acting on Liu Ruyan’s will, went straight to the point. “Hand over your Ancient Ancestor inheritance, or your sect will be annihilated!”
