Heaven-Defying Sovereign – Part 2 | Shattering the Jade Soul | Xianxia Cultivation Audiobook

The 66th courtyard was the courtyard that Xio Lynxy lived in. Everyone in the XO clan was well acquainted with it due to how easy it was to remember. Upon hearing Xioj say 66th Courtyard, the first thing they thought of was the courtyard's owner. The crowd separated and isolated Xio Lynxy's location, giving her no place to hide from everyone's eyes. Xoli's expression changed greatly while Xio's brows furrowed. His expression all of the sudden became incomparably overcast as he stepped forward and stood in front of Xiao Linksy. A wave of anger expanded with a rumble in his chest, threatening to explode. Only when Xioju called out the words 66th Courtyard did Xioi completely understand what the discordant feeling he had been experiencing up until then meant. Before there were too many people in the way, and they were also standing relatively close together. As a result, Xioangjian couldn't clearly pinpoint where Xio Lynxy was. However, now he could naturally get a good look. At once, his eyes lit up and emitted a glow similar to that of a vicious wolf. This girl wasn't as good-looking as Zia Kingu, but was still a genuine young lady in every way. She had natural-born bright eyes and white teeth, a compelling elegance, and a gentle, beautiful, and charming face. Especially her eyes, which though currently full of panic and fear, were still like pools of sparkling spring water, clear, transparent, and thoroughly moving. Xioangji unforcefully swallowed a mouthful of saliva as his heart flipped and shook at that Xioong didn't lie to me after all. Even though this Xoliny is slightly worse than Zia Kingu, as far as looks go, she's only slightly worse. However, her flavor will definitely be just as good. Also, when she matures, she won't necessarily be worse than Zia Kingu. After coming to this kind of backwater place, I unexpectedly met what could be considered two worldclass beauties. This is simply heaven's reward for my long and difficult journey. Zyro Quangian began to feel that his initial refusal to come to this Xyro clan was simply an extremely stupid decision. Fortunately, he was unable to defy his father's order in the end and obediently came here. Xolini, how could it be you? Upon seeing Xolini, Xyro Yunhai's expression was first that of surprise, then shock, then finally disbelief. It wasn't me, Clan Master. It really wasn't me. Xolini forcefully shook her head, a terrified look on her entire face. She really did have the thought to steal the profound opening powder last night, but after being caught by Xoli, she obediently went back to her room and slept. She knew absolutely nothing about the theft of the profound opening powder. Oh my, I didn't expect that the reckless thief would be a little girl. Xioangjiun said in a mystifying fashion, "But I did just say that no matter who it was, I wouldn't let them off lightly." Ah, Xoliny, how could you act so willfully and do this kind of reckless thing? This box of profound opening powder is the treasure that the Xyro sect traveled thousands of Lee to gift us. With this, what could I possibly do? Xio Yunhai sighed heavily with an appearance of extreme grief. Clan master, it wasn't me. It really wasn't me who stole it. There must be. There must be a mistake somewhere. It really wasn't me. Xoliny shook her head over and over, her entire face already pale. Xouroqangian said with an angry and stern voice. This box of profound opening powder was found under your pillow. If you didn't stale it, then are you telling me it grew wings and flew there? Young lady, I gave you a chance to admit your guilt before. It was you who didn't take it. Now that we have conclusive proof and also countless people from outside the Xyro clan as witnesses, you still want to deny it. It seems like you won't confess if I don't give you a heavy punishment. Give you a heavy punishment? Those five words caused Xio Lynxy's entire body to waver. If it wasn't for Xioi promptly supporting her, she may have already collapsed on the ground. Xiochi's hands clenched as a pop sound continuously rang out from his knuckles. His carefully watched Xouroang, his entire body emitting for the first time since his rebirth true killing intent. Young Master Xio, please calm down. Xio Yunhai immediately stepped forward and knelt on one knee. He said beseechingly, "Zyro Lynxy stealing from the Xyro sect is truly unforgivable, but but she isn't a bad person. In my Xyro clan, she is very well-liked. The fact that she would steal the profound opening powder also involves some complications." "Complications? What complications?" Xioang asked with a dark expression. Xio Yunhai used his eyes to indicate Xio Linkxy and Xioi who were standing together. he said with a remorseful expression. Xio Linkxy is the only daughter of our fifth elder and she has a nephew called Xioi who is older than her by a year. This nephew of hers had the misfortune of being born with deformed profound veins. With deformed profound veins. No matter how Xiochi grows in other areas, it's still the same as having his life mostly ruined. Xolini extremely cherishes Xioi and has always been searching for a way to restore his profound veins. This is something that everyone in the Xio clan and floating cloud city knows. All those present here can attest to that. The reason Xio Lynxy would have the audacity to steal the profound opening powder is obviously because she heard that the profound opening powder has the power to restore destroyed profound veins. Thus, with the intention of saving her nephew, she committed this reckless crime. Although the crime has been committed and the evidence is conclusive beyond a doubt, I beg Master Xyo to be lenient with his punishment on account of the fact that our Xio Lynxy is still young and has a sincere heart. Our entire Xio clan would be grateful for Young Master Xio<unk>'s great kindness. Even though Xio Yunhai's posture was low, every one of his spoken words were sincere. They struck straight at the heart, causing everyone to feel touched. His words also allowed those who didn't understand how Xoliny would have the audacity to steal the profound opening powder to suddenly realize. It turns out that the profound opening powder also had the ability to restore damaged profound veins. No wonder everyone in floating Cloud City knew that Xioi's profound veins had been damaged since birth. The fact that Xoliny had always cherished him and unceasingly worried about the state of his profound veins was also something that everyone in the Xio clan knew. With this, the fact that Xoliny would steal the profound opening powder was no longer reckless, but rather reasonable. More than a few people secretly looked down on the way, Xio Yunhai always fawned over Xioangjian. However, now a kind of heartful admiration towards him started to grow in everyone's hearts. in order to protect a Xio clan disciple. This Xio clan master still begged for forgiveness with all his strength. Even though he faced a raging member of the Xio sect, his words were also passionate, and he even knelt on one knee. Only Xioi was sneering in anger. What a flawless performance. On the surface, it was someone begging for forgiveness for the sake of Xio Lynxy, but in truth, it was completely legitimizing the accusation against her. If he was an outsider, it's possible that even he would think that everything was Xio Lynxy's doing. It turns out there was this kind of situation. After listening to Xio Yunhai's words, Xio Quangians expression clearly mellowed quite a bit. He said lightly, "Hmp, my noble self isn't some vicious and merciless person. Since she committed this blunder for the sake of her nephew in light of these feelings, as long as she obediently admits her mistake and apologizes, I can still consider it gently. It wasn't me. It really wasn't me who stole it. Xoliny forcefully shook her head. She gritted her teeth and shouted in a slightly horse voice. If I did it, I would definitely confess, but I really didn't steal the profound opening powder. I especially don't know why it would appear in my room. It must be some kind of mistake. Clan master, please believe me. It really wasn't me. XLY shouting in this way not only didn't move anyone, but instead had the opposite reaction due to Xio Yunhai's previous obfiscation. She is the one with the most reason to steal the profound opening powder, and it was also found in her room. These facts could already thoroughly determine her guilt. That Xio Yunhai would plead for leniency on her behalf without regard to danger or dignity was already extremely benevolent and moving. Yet, she still won't confess. Xioangian<unk>s expression that had just mellowed once again darkened. He said with a sneer, "Where was there a mistake? Our Xio sect personally found this profound opening powder in your room. Are you saying that our Zio sect member purposefully framed you, a young lady from this small XO clan? Hey, Xio Quan said this sentence with full of anger and confidence that the Grand Zyro sect would purposefully frame someone from the Xyro clan, which didn't even amount to anything in their eyes. It would be a joke to anyone who heard it. At this time, the Xyro clan's first elder, Zyro Lee, stood up. He pointed at Zyro Linkxy and said with a stern voice, "Zyro Linkxy, you made such a large mistake and thus humiliated the entire Xio clan." The clan master still personally pleaded for leniency on your behalf, and even young Master XO was thinking of dealing with you mercifully. Yet, you unexpectedly still don't know a good thing when you see it. You have really disappointed us too much. Ah, more than disappointing, it's simply extremely heartbreaking. Second Elder X Bo shook his head and said with a sad expression, "She would go as far as to waste the clan master's persistent pleas for leniency," "Ah, Xio linksy, what kind of existence is the Xyro sect that they would deliberately and wrongfully accuse you. If you could change your ways after making a mistake, that would be best. But you acting like this in front of our various friends from floating Cloud City shames us greatly." I, you, you. Upon seeing pitiles and cold gazes one after another, Xio Lynxy's lovely body trembled and tear drops leaked from her eyes. Her mind was completely blank. She wasn't able to utter a complete sentence. At this moment, Xio Chi lightly squeezed her small hand with his. Standing at her side, he said with a warm voice that only she could hear, "Little aunt, don't be afraid. For the moment, don't say anything because it doesn't matter what you say right now. It doesn't matter if they believe you or not. I will always believe in little aunt. Leave the rest to me. Leave the rest to me. His profound strength was minuscule and his body was frail. He had grown up under her constant protection. Yet, it was precisely this weak body that stood in front of her. When he said these few simple words, her frantic, helpless, and ice cold thoughts quickly and unexpectedly became peaceful and warm. It was as if they had returned to their childhood where whenever she was bullied, he would always fly in from afar to stand in front of her and using his hands, feet, and teeth as the most vicious weapons, prevent her from receiving even the tiniest scratch. Xio Chi, she quietly murmured in her heart. Cough, cough. Xioi stepped forward a few steps and faked a few coughs, attracting everyone's attention. He bowed slightly and said with a smile, "Young Master Xio and the other three friends that traveled here from the distant Xyro sect, allow me to introduce myself. I am Xio Lynxy's nephew, the Xioi that is considered by everyone to be without redeeming features. I have a few questions I want the Ask the Clan Master concerning the stolen and subsequently recovered profound opening powder. There shouldn't be any problems with that, right?" Oh, you are floating Cloud City's infamous piece of trash. Xioangjian indifferently glanced at him and sneered with a sound of disdain. You shouldn't be thinking of making excuses for your little aunt, right? Chuckle. That's fine. I actually do want to see what you can find out with your questions. Chi Xoli, whose face had long ago turned ashen lightly uttered. The response he got was from Xyrochi's right hand behind his back, which indicated for him to be silent. That's good. Xioi nodded as his gaze turned towards Xio Yunhai.Clan master, I have a few questions I want to ask you about the profound opening powder. Not waiting for Xio Yunhai's reply, Xio Chi had already started to ask. The first question, clan master, you be it your cultivation of profound strength or mental fortitude are preeminent amongst our Xio clan. Even more so, your temperament is steady and prudent. If not, you wouldn't be able to become our Xyro clan's clan master. this matter. Everyone in the Xyro clan and even everyone in floating Cloud City all know without exception. Then the question is this excavator? Oh, that's not right. With Clan Master's prudent disposition after receiving the gift from the XO sect, the best course of action would be to keep it by your side because only when it's by your side is it the safest. But Clan Master instead left it in the infirmary, which could be said to be the least secure location. Can Clan Master explain this? Xioi, what do you mean by that? The first elder Xoli suddenly bellowed. Don't tell me you're implying that clan master had stolen the profound opening powder from himself and then shifted the blame to Xiao Linksy. You're the reason why Xio Lolinky had stolen the profound opening powder. If you keep blabbering such nonsense, be careful or else even you will get punished together if you don't step down. Don't be agitated, First Elder. Xioi shook his head as he laughed, appearing harmless. Where would I get the courage to even dare question Clan Master? I'm just voicing out the suspicions in my heart. And I believe that most of us here have the same question, too. Many of us here understand Clan Master's nature and must be puzzled as to why Clan Master had handled the situation that way. Of course, Clan Master is innocent. He couldn't have done this kind of low and dirty thing that even the world would despise. I'm sure Clan Master will give a perfect explanation. Am I right, Clan Master? TL low and dirty was interpreted from Chinese idiom that literally meant worse than pigs and dogs. The people of Xio clan and the nobles of floating cloud city all stared at him surreptitiously. The Xioi they knew was a weak and timid person, someone who was terrified of even coming into contact with outsiders. However, not only was he able to be speak frankly under the watchful eyes of the crowd in this tense atmosphere and situation, his expression did not even change when the first elder had shouted at him. This Xyrochi and the Xyo Chi they knew seemed to be two fundamentally different people. Low and dirty that even the world would despise. These few words caused Xyro Yunhai's face to cramp momentarily. He raised his head to look at Xyrochi faintly smiled and said, "There's no need to get agitated." First Elder, it's normal for Xio Chi to question this way. And just like he said, many of our friends here should have the same question as well. Actually, when I received the profound opening powder from young master Zo yesterday, I indeed had prepared to keep it by my side. However, the profound opening powder is a high-grade medicine from the Xio sect that's also extremely precious. The higher the grade of the medicine, the easier it is for the effects to dissipate. In the case of this treasure elixir, even if the effect was to dissipate by a bit, it would still be a great loss. If I were to carry it with me, it will often come into contact with impure vital energy. So even though it is protected by the black profound ebony box, its effects will still dissipate easily. That's the reason why I placed it inside the infirmary. After all, in the infirmary, a numerous variety of herbs have been gathered over the years, resulting in plenty of medicinal energy. In places with ample medicinal energy, the elixir's energy will not dissipate that easily. That is the reason. Another reason is that we of the Xyro clan have always been serious about abiding to the law. I never would have expected a domestic thief to appear or even think that she would have the audacity to steal the important gift the Xyro sect had brought. But no matter the reason, it is nonetheless my fault that the profound opening powder was stolen. In regards to this, I can't escape that responsibility. I won't complain if young master Zyro also demands my punishment. Xyro Yunhai sighed heavily after he finished speaking. Xio Yunhai explanation was completely perfect. The first elder suddenly yelled once more, "Zoi, did you hear that clearly?" Clan master had left the profound opening powder in the infirmary was because of this meticulous reason and wanted to protect the profound opening powder's potency. Who would have thought a house thief would appear? What else do you have to say? Oh. Oh, so that's it. Xyrochi nodded his head as if he was pleased with Xyro Yunhai explanation. To even know the existence of medicinal energy, Clan Master Shore is knowledgeable. Then the second question that I wanted to ask is coincidentally related with this medicinal energy. Xioi narrowed his eyes and faintly laughed as he continued. Regarding medicinal energy, our Xyo clan's infirmary has accumulated a variety of herbs over the years, and they are indeed ample. Furthermore, the highest quantity herb we have in our infirmary is the thin net grass. So, the medicinal energy's odor should be a sweet fishy one belonging to that of the thin net grass. Clan master also knows that the box containing the profound opening powder is made from the black profound ebony and black profound ebony is very good at protecting the effects of elixirs from dissipating to the surrounding. Then does clan master know the reason why black profound ebony can protect the effects of elixirs? Well, in fact, the reason is pretty simple. Black profound ebony has a very strong particle absorption ability. So when the medicinal force in its surroundings come into contact with the black profound ebony, they will get firmly absorbed and will be difficult to diffuse. After the surface has absorbed enough until full capacity, the medicinal force still would be unable to scatter even if it wanted to. I believe that anyone here with a bit of medical knowledge should understand this theory. Quite a number of people present nodded their heads silently. Then if the black profound ebony box that contained the profound opening powder had been placed in the infirmary for a certain period of time, its surface surely would have absorbed a large quantity of medicinal energy. When inside the infirmary, according to the nature of black profound ebony, it absorbs fast but diffuses slowly. So even if it was removed from the infirmary, you should still be able to smell the medicinal energy even after 2 to 3 days. The sweet fishy smell of the thin net grass. Once these words were said, Xio Yunhai complexion immediately changed slightly. Xiochi had calculated accurately that Xio Yunhai would not really have placed the profound opening powder in the infirmary because if the profound opening powder had really been stolen, he would have cried his eyes out. And Xio Yunhai indeed did not place the profound opening powder in the infirmary. As for the infirmary doctor, Xyogu, he had already been informed about this beforehand. And under the Xio sex deterrence, Xyogu did not dare to refuse. I wonder if Clan Master dares to bring the box over and let us smell to check whether or not the odor that should be there is actually on the box. Xiochi said as he chuckled. Xioi. As expected, you're still suspecting clan master simply preposterous. Before Xio Yunhai said anything, Xioi once again erupted agitatedly. In order to protect your little aunt, you are actually going to forcefully question clan master. Simply ridiculous. Unreasonable. Our Xyro clan had totally raised you in vain all these years. Why haven't you withdrawn? He he. There's no need to be agitated. First Elder. Their aunt and nephew relationship has always been close. His attempt to exculpate at all cost is understandable. Furthermore, what he said is also reasonable and fair. Since he wants to know if there are any problems with this box, we shall just prove it to him. But both the profound opening powder and black profound wood are precious treasures. How could we let anyone touch it as they please? Xio Yunhai turned to face Xioangjian after he had finished speaking and respectfully continued. Then can we please trouble young master Xio to be a witness. I believe that if it's<unk>s young master Xio, his word will convince the masses more than anyone else present today. Xiochi secretly sneered, but his expression did not change and nodding slightly. Of course, if it's young master XO, he will be the most trustworthy. Can young master Xio please do us the honor of smelling the odor on the box to clear the doubts in my heart. Xio Quan and Xio Yunhai's gaze met. At the same time, they both thought that it was impossible for the dumb Xroi to realize that they had been cooperating from the very start. Xyro Quangian held up the box in his hand, smiled disdainfully, and casually replied, "This suspicion is quite interesting. That being the case, I shall smell it on your behalf. After he said that, Xyro Quangji unlifted up the box that contained the profound opening powder, brought it to his nose, and started to earnestly smell it. He then knitted his eyebrows and spoke. Even though the smell is not strong, there indeed is a sweet yet fishy smell. He narrowed his eyes and indifferently said, "Come over and smell it as well." First, elder to avoid other people suspecting that I am collaborating with the Xiao clan master. How could it be possible that someone of young master Xio<unk>'s status would bother to lie to us? First, Elder Xio Lee immediately flattered as he walked over obediently and strongly sniffed. He then nodded his head. That's right. It does indeed have a sweet but fishy smell. He glared across the room and raised his voice. What else do you have to say, Xioi? Young Master Xio and Clan Master have already given you a heavens amount of face. If you continue to pester endlessly, I will personally chase you down. Wo! Calm down, First Elder. Xio Chi waved his hands up and down as his expression became strange. Both young Master Xio and First Elder unexpectedly smelled a sweet fishy smell. This, this, this. Cough, cough. Actually, I was not careful just now and had misspoken. Young Master XO being of the noble status, surely only come into contact with the highest grade of elixirs. As for the common herbs like that of the thin net grass, you surely would not bother to take a second look. Clan master and first elder wholeheartedly dedicate themselves to training and does not dabble in medical knowledge and therefore naturally has no time to visit the infirmary. So you might not know that the odor of the thin net grass is actually not a sweet fishy smell, but a sweet bitter smell. Anyone of you know that if you go in the infirmary and take a sniff. A Yet both young master Zio and First Elder had smelled a sweet fishy smell. This makes me unable to understand. I wonder if anyone here can do me a favor to explain this for me. Once those words were said, everyone's expressions had changed, becoming incomparably brilliant. While on the other hand, Xioang, Xio Yunhai, and First Elder X Le's expressions instantly became rigid. Although it was only for a moment, many people clearly saw that change. Meanwhile, the Xioclan disciples who often frequent the infirmary were familiar with the smell of the thin net grass and burst into stairs. Numerous people's hearts began to pump violently. They began to send an atmosphere different from before. Xio Chi, you still don't want to shut your mouth, brat. Not only did you try to shield Xio Lynxy in vain, you still went as far to question Clan Master, to question Young Master Xio. I see you are deliberately playing with us and continuing to babble nonsense. Xoli face ashened and revealed an ominous glint in his eyes. Young Master Xio clan master, don't listen to his nonsense anymore since the truth of the stolen profound opening powder matter is already out. We need not waste any more time. Xioi, this brat, not only caused all this mess, he still tried to shield the culprit and offended clan master and young master Xio. He ought to be penalized. As long as one was not deaf, one could clearly hear that Xyro Le's words contained a hint of humiliation in his rage. As for the topic of smelling wrong, he had completely avoided the issue and didn't even give out a word of explanation. Since Elder Zo does not want to hear my nonsense, then I shall cut to the chase. As for my last question, I want to ask this friend called Xioj from the XO sect. This should be an extremely simple question and I expect you to answer it. If you are able to answer it, then I will admit that my little aunt had indeed stolen the profound opening powder, and I won't utter a single word of complaint. Even if you want to punish my little aunt, or even punish me together as well. Without waiting for Xyro Yunhai and the rest to respond, Xyrochi's gaze had landed on the corpse-like face of Xio Ju. His expression remained bland, but his eyes had become incomparably sharp. Each word sounded like a small gong. Xiao Oju, you say that the profound opening powder was found under the pillow of my little aunt's room. Then can you tell me whether the bed in my little ant room is facing east or west? What is the color of the pillow? And if the pillow was placed on the southern end or the northern end of the bedro<unk>s expression instantly stiffened, while Xyroian and Zyro Yunhai's expressions all of a sudden became incomparably unsightly. If you did go into my little aunt's room and found the profound opening powder under her pillow, then those questions should be extremely simple to you. Come, tell me your answer. You just need to say out, "My little aunt and I will immediately plead guilty without a second word." Yes, I guess you, young master, clan master, and all the elders here want to settle this case quickly and start the main business for today. Am I right? Then you should quickly tell us. It would be bad to delay your master and everyone's time here. Say it. Say it. What? Why aren't you answering me? Didn't you clearly go into my little aunt's room? Why can't you even answer such a simple question? Don't tell me. You never even went into my little aunt's room in the first place. But you claim that the profound opening powder is found under my little aunt's pillow. How did that come about? Could it be that you know the legendary thousand-mile chicken snatching skill? T L Mile still refers to the Chinese Mile Lee, which is still half a kilometer. No matter how big or small the courtyards were, the Xio clan had a total of around 233 courtyards. The courtyards were all arranged irregularly and most of them looked almost exactly the same. If we don't even mention the Xio sect members who came yesterday and only talk about people who have already been living here for 10 or even 20 days, even they would not necessarily remember all the courtyards positions, nor would they accurately connect them with their owner. This was why Xyro Chi was certain that Xyro Ju had not even gone to Xolini's courtyard. Even if he deliberately went there to check it out yesterday, he could not possibly find it again in such a short time. He should have been faking his search and instead just randomly walked around in a circle for a while until he came back with the box containing the profound opening powder. Xyro Ju<unk>s silence and the dramatically worsening complexions of Xyro Quangian and Xyro Yunhai would even let fools begin to understand what was going on. Zyro Yunhai flawlessly answered Xyrochi's first question, yet he did not know that it was only just a decoy. The second question that came immediately after made them sink into a deep hole. As for the third question, it was virtually a resounding slap to their face. Little Chi Xoliny buried her face in her hands as her vision became hazy. In her most helpless situation, everyone had kept away from her, questioned her, and wronged her for a period of time. Only he stayed the same as before. He fearlessly put his body in front of hers in attempt to shield her, and confronted the people that not even those of the Xyro clan would readily dare to provoke. This silhouette left a deep impression at the bottom of her heart, and this memory may last a lifetime without any chance of ever disappearing or fading away. Ziaingu<unk>s expression became bright once again. The questions were flawlessly answered, and everyone was fully convinced of their act. But unexpectedly, he completely turned the entire situation around with only a few simple questions while also exposing their lies. She yet again discovered that she actually did not truly understand him. No, it should be said that he had hidden his true self from everyone else. For no one even knew of his frightening medical skills that could shock the entire world. At the moment, he had only revealed a scheme that left others incapable of movement. The look on everyone's face secretly changed. However, there were no traces of any change on Xi's face. Instead, he became even more ashen as both his hands quietly trembled together. He knew from the start that it was an act to shift the blame onto someone else. except that Xyro Linksy ended up with the position of the scapegoat. As he noticed the way Xyroians gaze changed when his eyes turned in Xyro Lynxy's direction, he went in a fit of rage. However, he could not open his mouth to speak and could not possibly try to speak. This time, Xyrochi's few sentences exposed their ugly and vicious intentions in front of all the people that were currently present. But after that, could they even be ashamed? Would shame cover their faces? Would they apologize or perhaps shout loudly to say that it was all a misunderstanding? Haha, that's absolutely impossible. This would only anger them even further and make things get more out of hand, which in turn would make the consequences even more severe. The people who were present were well aware of this farce, but they did not dare to openly declare that it was happening. Instead, waves of anger came from the opposite party like blades of grass swaying in the wind. This was because the other party was the son of the sect master of the Xyo sect. He could crush the entire Xyo clan with a lift of his finger. Without sufficient power, what was the use of having a brilliant tongue and an observant mind? In the face of absolute power, this so-called truth could not even be considered as just a joke. Zyrochi, you unfil bastard, you still haven't shut up. The first elder pointed at Zyroi and desperately bellowed in rage. You again and again search for a ridiculous reason to discredit clan master and our noble guests from the Xio sect. What exactly is your motive? Why would the Xioct try to frame Xoliny? Everyone in the world knows of the Xio sect and their word holds enormous weight. If they say that the profound opening powder was found in Xoliny's room, then it was found in Xoliny's room. No one in Floating Cloud City has the right to question their authority. This is truly outrageous to question even the honorable guests from the Xio sect. Clan Master and Young Master XO had repeatedly exhibited their accommodating patience, but unexpectedly if you give him an inch, he'd want a mile. This is simply intolerable. Young Master Xio, clan Master, this old one pleads for the rapid arrest of the thief Xoliny and the nonsense babbler Xioi. Second Elder X shouted in anger. In fact, everyone present was well aware of the situation at hand, yet did not dare to say it out loud. First elder and second elder shamelessly roared, and there was not one person who would speak in their favor, but there was a look of pity in everyone's eyes. The opposing party was the Xyro sect. Even if you saw through their trickery, even if you completely unraveled their scheme and the truth, what was the use? Xioangjian<unk>s expression had already darkened to the color of charcoal. He did not think that his perfect plan would backfire in his face in front of so many people. Although these people looked at him with a fearful expression and didn't dare to make a single sound, he would bet his little toe that in their minds they had inevitably sneered at him and saw him as a dog. And all of this was because of Xyroqi. Xyroang became more and more enraged as he directed his killing intent at the nobody that paid no heed to his importance. He spoke in a deep voice. I from the dignified XYO sect have no obligation to answer the question of a useless piece of trash from the XYO clan. Furthermore, I have no obligation to explain a matter belonging to my XYO sect, which elder in XO clan is in charge of law enforcement. Immediately arrest this thief and the piece of trash that tried to vainly shield her. We solemnly obey young master Xio<unk>'s order, roared forth Elder Xio Chang, the chief of law enforcement within the XO clan, who saw his opportunity to make an appearance. He suddenly turned his head, his eyes revealing an ominous glint as they laid upon the victim, Zyro Lynxy, and shouted in a loud voice yet again. "Zyro Linksy, Zyroi, you two have already committed a serious crime. Come with me at once to the law enforcement hall to await your punishment." The situation had made a sudden change. It was obvious that they had been exposed, yet the opposite party acted without a care for their pride and immediately made a direct approach. Xiochi actually became alarmed as he retreated backwards and whispered to Ziaingu, "Hey King, you my wife, where's your master? Don't know." Ziaingu flatly replied, "I at number percent." The reason why Xyrochi dared to mercilessly slap Xyrok's face was not because his blood rushed to his head, but because he knew that Zia Kingu<unk>s master was in the vicinity. Last night, he had even specifically reminded Ziaingu to notify her master. In the end, Zia Kingu only offered him, "Don't know." This mother of Seeker, Xio Chengs profound strength, was one of the top five within the Xyo clan. So, it was fundamentally impossible that Xyrochi and Zeoly had the ability to resist him. But now a tall shadow appeared all of a sudden in a flash and stood in front of Xio Chi and Xio Lynxy. With an entire body surging with profound strength, Xioi had abruptly come forward. A vibration sounded as a sandstorm brew as far as anyone could see. The Xio Chang that had been rapidly dashing towards his target was directly hit as he flew backwards. After landing, he staggered backwards seven or eight steps until he regained his balance. Within the Xiao clan, it should be said that within the entire floating cloud city, the only person who could make him yield in just one strike was the one in the 10th level of the spirit profound realm, Xio. Xoli, what's the meaning of this? Are you going to brazenly shield them? If it was the past, Xioeng would undoubtedly shrink in the presence of Xoli. But at this moment, he nevertheless shouted with complete confidence. Although he knew what was happening and knew that there was no use in struggling to defend them, how could Xyro lie silently watch Xyrochi and Xio Linkxy be brought away to suffer such injustice? Ignoring Xio Cheng, he faced the platform and spoke. Clan Master, regarding today's situation, I always had something I wanted to say. It is absolutely impossible that my daughter Xoliny is a person that would steal the profound opening powder. Haha. Xoliny is your daughter, so of course you would say that. Xoli laughed coldly. However, the truth is already clear. Whatever you have to say is completely useless. If you dare to shield and obstruct this arrest again, don't blame me for not acknowledging our XO clan's relationship as I'll also seize you together with them. Since he stood next to Xyro Quangian, Xyro Lee had enough confidence to lie in broad daylight and spoke as if they were fact with an incredible expression on his face. Xyro lii was incomparably balanced as he looked at Zyro Yunhai and lightly spoke. Yes, it's true that I did tell Xur that the profound opening powder had the ability to repair profound veins. I instantly regretted it after I told her that because knowing her personality, I was afraid that she would be impulsive enough to steal the profound opening powder. As a result, I stood in front of her courtyard's doorway all night until dawn. She absolutely did not even take half a step outside her courtyard entrance. Xoli scornfully sneered. In order to absolve your daughter's crime, you could actually think up of such a ridiculous reason. Think about it. Would anyone even believe your words? Our friends present today. Do anyone of you believe him? In the presence of the four XO sect members grim faces, no one dared to speak. Xoli<unk>'s expression became coldly resolute as he spoke in a loud voice. I, Xoli, have always lived a straightforward and upright life. Although not a true gentleman, I have never looked down on a person of lower status. I have never harmed anyone, nor have I deceived anyone. If what I said earlier had even half an untruth, may the heavens and earth punish me and condemn me to a terrible death. Xoli<unk>'s words were sorous and struck the hearts of the people. Every individual word was filled to the brim with a profound righteousness and spirit. Xoli was not only the strongest in floating cloud city, but his integrity was also wellknown. It was actually not necessary for him to swear the may the heavens and earth punish me and condemn me to a terrible death oath for others to believe his words. But even though it wasn't necessary for him to say those words, with Xioi's previous statement, everyone present had already thoroughly seen the real truth. However, in the midst of Xyioex doineering power, it was fundamentally impossible to change the unfavorable accusation placed upon Xio Lynxy. Even if Zyol lie brought out more evidence, it was useless and would merely cause Xyroang to be further enraged out of humiliation. Ha ha. A burst of disdainful laughter suddenly rang out in the midst of the people belonging to the Xyro clan. A Zyro Yulong who had not bothered to speak suddenly stood out and appeared. He turned towards Xyro Li laughing as he looked at him. In this matter, this Xyro Yulong has absolutely no right to speak or intervene. But all of a sudden, when I heard Fifth Elder's grand speech, I truly couldn't hold back anymore. A person who has fooled the entire XO clan these 10 or so years unexpectedly professed himself to be a straightforward and upright person that had never deceived another. This is simply a joke bigger than the heavens itself. Has fooled the entire XO clan these 10 or so years. Those few words startled everyone. As he listened to Xyro Yunlong<unk>s words and saw his expression, Xio's brow suddenly sank and a bad premonition surfaced within his heart. Zyro Yulong, "What do you mean?" Xoli immediately knitted his eyebrows and asked in a low voice. Xio Yunhai also spoke with a serious expression on his face. Yulong, fifth elder, has always been a person of virtue and prestige. In the presence of our noble guests from the XO sect, in the presence of our Xio clan, and in the presence of our friends from floating Cloud City, you mustn't indiscriminately gossip. Xio Yulong bode slightly and said, "I request father to rest assure your son naturally would not dare to speak so casually in broad daylight." As he looked at Xio, his eyes narrowed and he laughed faintly. Fifth Elder, you claim to be a straightforward and upright person who had never deceived another. Then do you dare to pledge on your son Xio Ying<unk>s lifetime of honor and glory. That Xioi is indeed your bloodrelated grandson. Xio Yulong<unk>s words made Xi's entire body tremble. His pupils immediately contracted as he dumbfoundedly stood there. Looking at Xio Yulong<unk>s sinister smile, how could he not realize that the mumbling on that day in front of his son Xio Ying<unk>s grave had entirely been heard? What X Yulong had said caused the crowd to instantly break into an uproar. Everyone's jaws dropped open as they shifted their focus onto Xi. And when they saw Xoli<unk>'s unusual reaction, the astonishment in their hearts suddenly magnified several times. With this, the sound of the discussion had also started to increase. Xroqi was completely stumped when he took note of Xoli<unk>'s reaction. He was stupified in place. Xolini also had a dull expression and looked at Xoli blankly. Yulong, what is this about? Xio Yunhai frowned as he asked solemnly. Xouro Yulong turned sideways and replied respectfully. A few days ago, when I went to the cemetery at the rear mountain to pay my respects, I coincidentally met Fifth Elder. At that time, he was standing in front of his son, Xio Ying<unk>s grave and was mumbling something to himself. But I heard it very clearly. He was saying that Xio Chi was in fact not Xio Ying<unk>s biological son. From Xio Yulong<unk>s words just now and Xi's reaction, the crowd had already faintly guessed the truth. But now that Xio Yulong had so plainly announced it, it was like hearing a sudden clap of thunder. Everyone in the Xyro clan were completely astonished. Those who were familiar and friendly with Xyro Li widened their eyes even more with faces full of complete disbelief. This Xyro Yunhai also had a face full of shock. He gravely said at once, Yulong, this is a major matter that concerns our very bloodlines. You absolutely cannot speak recklessly. Xio Yulong firmly replied, "Of course, I wouldn't dare to lie about such a big matter. As for the truth, won't you know after you ask the fifth elder? Fifth Elder, I guess you already heard what I said clearly. If you have a clear conscience, and that Xioi is really your biological grandson, then do you dare to swear on the honor of your son? Everyone's gaze at all focused upon Xi. As he stood there stiffly, his expression became more bitter and astringent. He did not utter a single word or give an explanation for quite a while. His son, Xio Ying, was the greatest pride of his life. And even if he had passed on, he would never swear on the honor of the deceased Xio Ying, if that was the price. Xiochi opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a single word. His chest felt empty as a heavy and stifling emotion quickly swept through his entire body. "Father, how can little Chi not be your biological grandson? Father, quickly say something. Quickly tell them." Xoliny strongly shook Xoli<unk>'s body as she shouted in a terrified tone of voice. But Xioi did not utter a single word for a long time, as if he had turned into a statue. His expression quietly turned decrepit, and in a blink of an eye, he suddenly aged by more than 10 years. Fifth Elder, how did that come about? Were the words that Yulong said the truth? Xio Yuni agitatedly asked Xio Li as he frowned. Xoli slowly raised his head and took a deep breath. Xio Yulong had forced him to swear on his son Xio Ying, but that was something he would never do no matter what. Henceforth, this matter which he had concealed for 16 years, was destined to unable to remain hidden from now on. He had thought that he could cover up the truth for an entire lifetime until the day he died. But he never would have thought that it would actually be mercilessly revealed so quickly under this unimaginable situation and in front of so many people. Xoli<unk>'s appearance had already tacitly agreed. If otherwise, he could have already sworn without apprehension and sealed X Yulong<unk>s mouth shut. Everyone in Xyo clan were all flabbergasted. Even Zia Kingu was also stunned. Zia Hungi, who was standing at the surrounding quietly at this time, also had a face full of shock. Xyrochi was not Xyro Ying<unk>s son. How could this be? Grandfather. As Xiochi walked in front of Xioi, every step he took was incomparably dense. When he looked at a face that seemed to have aged considerably in an instant, Xio Chi felt a burst of pain in his heart. He tried his best to remain serene and asked softly, "Grandfather, is this really true?" Xoli drooped down his head and looked at Xiochi. He gave a bitter smile and in his clouded eyes was a complicated expression that Xiochi was unable to see clearly. Even though you aren't my biological child, but over these years I have always treated you as my own grandson. If the silence before signified his consent, in that case, this sentence was the confirmation that everyone had now clearly heard. The XO clan instantly went into an uproar. Being in the XO clan for so many years, this was without a doubt the most shocking news that any had heard before. Xioi stood there expressionlessly without uttering a single sound for quite a while as if he had lost his soul. Xio Linkxy was dumbfounded as well. She shook her head furiously, rushed towards Xio Lie, and agitatedly shouted, "Father, what are you saying? Little Chi grew up with me from a young age. He's the biological son of my brother, Xio Ying. How could he not be your own grandson? You must be joking. Am I right?" A hand stretched over and grabbed Xio Lynxy's hand. At this moment, Xyrochi's expression had changed back to normal. He looked at Zyro Lynxy and gently shook his head afterwards, revealing a shallow smile. It's okay, little aunt. Grandfather will always be my grandfather, and you will always be my little aunt. We will always be the closest of families, so it doesn't matter if we are related by blood or not. Our feelings will never change. So, is it really that important if I'm not the biological child? Little Chi Zolynxy eyes instantly became hazy. Whereas on the other side, a few of the mad dogs who suddenly got a hold of Xyrochi's huge weakness started to bark wildly. Simply ridiculous. Ridiculous. This youngster that our XYO clan had raised for an entire 16 years, does not belong to our Zo clan, and is actually a bastard who carried the blood of an outsider. This is practically the biggest joke in the history of XO clan. First, Elder X Lee roared with a face full of rage. Xoli, you actually brought a bastard into our XO clan and let our XO clan raise him for an entire 16 years. How do you want us to even scold you? Arg third Elder X sideighed heavily. You clearly know he is a bastard, but you still kept him in Xio clan and let him enjoy the privilege of being an elers's grandson. Xio lie. You actually lied to our entire clan for 16 years. If Yulong didn't discover this by luck, perhaps we would get duped by you forever. By that time, the descendants of Xyro clan would have been mixed with the blood of outsiders. Zyro Li, do you know how big of a sin that is? Fourth Elder Xyro Chang pointed at Xyro Li as his face turned red due to his agitation. Second Elder Xyro Bo scolded loudly. No wonder every of our Xyro clans descendants had above average talent. But all of a sudden, a broken, profound, vain trash appeared. So, it turns out that this trash XYO clan had raised for 16 years was actually a bastard. If this were to spread, won't our Zyro clan become the laughingtock of Floating Cloud City? Not only the four big elders, but even the middle-aged, and the attendants who belonged to the four big elders all stood out, mercilessly criticizing Xyroi. For a moment, Xyroi became the target of a multitude of verbal arrows. Fifth elder, this is is Arg. after Xyro Yunhai facial color went through a series of changes as he sighed for a long period of time. He he you guys have truly let me witness such an extremely amusing show. The Xyro clan which have developed to what it is today with great difficulty unexpectedly has mingled in a bastard that came from nowhere. Even I am feeling embarrassed for you all. As Zyroian opened his mouth, his voice was the usual sound of sharp unpleasantness. He glanced at Xyrochi and enthusiastically continued. Today is Xyro Clan's general meeting. Other than the people of Xyroclan and the people that were invited, outsiders have no place here. Zyroclan master, what are you still waiting for? Quickly throw this bastard out and from this day onwards, he should not be allowed to even take half a step into the Xyro clan. Ah, this Xio Yunhai had an expression of cannot bear to. However, after hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth, faced Xioi, and spoke. Xioi, fifth elder, has already admitted that you are not his grandson. You don't have our Xio clan's blood in your body either. Although our Xio clan had raised you in vain for 16 years, but in these 16 years, you were in the dark as well. And if we were to go after you for anything, it would instead show our pettiness. Just leave quickly. Leave our XO clan. From now on, you have nothing to do with our Xyro clan, and you are not allowed to take even half a step into our Zyro clan ever again. The gazes all focused onto Xyio Chi again, and many people silently sighed in their hearts. However, Xioi did not even have a trace of a want to beg or sorrowful expression on his face. After listening to Xio Yunhai words, he just smiled slightly with signs of sarcasm. Clan master and the elders need not be troubled since I don't belong to your Xio clan at all. Then I will leave. Furthermore, I will leave right now. He stood in front of Xoli as his eyes trembled for a while and then suddenly asked, "Grandfather, if I'm not your grandson, then who exactly are my biological parents?" Xio had knew in advance that he would ask this question. He closed his eyes and shook his head. I don't know. Xio Ying had picked you up from outside. Even he does not know who your true biological parents were. From Xoli shaking and his complicated eyes, Xiochi knew this wasn't Xio<unk>'s heartfelt answer. He must know the truth of his birth. But in front of so many people, he wasn't able to say it. With a plop sound, Xioi knelt down heavily in front of Xi and sincerely said, "Grandfather, even if I'm not your biological child, but these 16 years, you have treated me better than your own. You raised me, educated me, protected me, spent countless blood and sweat on me, and I can never return these 16 years of affection. I have always been extremely glad to have such a kind grandfather like you. Although it was only today that I discovered that I actually do not have the Xyro clan blood. What of it? You are my grandfather and I am your grandson. Even if we are unrelated by blood, I will forever keep this affection in my heart. As long as grandfather does not mind, I will forever be your grandson. Those words caused everyone to feel a tremble in their hearts. Xoli eyes started to moisten as he heavily nodded, said good with a horse voice, and walked forward, raising his hands with the intention of lifting Xioi up. However, Xiochi avoided his hands, bent down, and heavily cowtowed three times towards Xoli. Grandfather, little aunt, no matter what happens after I leave, I request that you carefully protect yourselves and take proper care of your health. When Xioi stood up, his forehead was already bruised. However, the smile on his face remained as gentle and calming as the autumn wind. He turned his body around and walked toward the direction of the gate. He didn't want to leave because grandfather and little aunt was here. He still wanted to use his life to protect them, but he had to leave or else grandfather and little aunt will get dragged into an unforeseeable mess. Regardless of whether or not he wanted to stay, he would still be forced to leave anyway. Little Chi, Xyro Lynxy sobbing shouts came from behind, and Zyrochi's footsteps paused slightly, but he didn't stop. He didn't look back and walked towards the gate without hesitation. Nobody knew that under his calm and quiet facade masked a multitude of anger, resentment, and the intention to murder. He was exceedingly wise and shrewd. But he didn't have power. Without power, he couldn't fight back. He couldn't protect his grandfather and little aunt. And he did not even have the strength to struggle. He had no other choice than to be expelled in this way. The day when he was just reborn, he desired to gain power. And power was something that humans had always instinctively pursued from the very beginning. At this moment, compared to his previous days, his thirst for enormous power multiplied by a hundfold, and could even be said to be a thousand times more intense. He wanted to gain enormous power to protect his grandfather and little aunt, to wash away all this humiliation, and to make the people who had revealed their ugly faces today regret. He wanted Zyro Quangian to die without a corpse and even wanted the whole of Xyro clan to pay an unforgettable price. Please keep my grandfather and little aunt safe. I beg you. While passing by Zia Kingu, Xyrochi said in a voice that only she could hear. This man who was brimming with mystery and arrogance. When he said that, his eyes revealed a desperate plea for help perhaps in his entire life. He had never begged anyone before, for his plea seemed to appear particularly heart-wrenching. Ziaingu<unk>s heart heavily quivered and unexpectedly had an instant feeling of suffocation. She could not help but involuntarily and slowly nod her head. "Wait a minute. You can't leave just yet." A voice came from behind and temporarily stopped Xiochi in his tracks. Xio Yulong walked quickly towards Xio Chi and at the same time said with a righteous face, "Everyone knows that Xioqi just got married 4 days ago." And the one he married is our floating Cloud City's number one beauty, the Zeia family's precious daughter, Zia Kingu. But everyone must not forget the reason Zia Kingu married Xioi. It's because fifth elder son Xio Ying had saved Ziaingu<unk>s life in the past. The first reason was to repay the debt of gratitude. And the second reason was to honor the engagement from 16 years ago. But whether it's to repay the debt of gratitude or honor the engagement, the one she should have married was Xio Ying<unk>s biological son and not this bastard who isn't of Xio clan's bloodline who popped out from who knows where. Xio Yulong words instantly reminded everyone the fact that Zia Kingu had married Xiochi was because of the agreement made 16 years ago. Since Xyrochi was no longer the biological child of Xyro Ying. Therefore, the marriage was precisely an absolute mistake. And since it was a mistake, it should. Xyrochi didn't look back and replied coldly. Xyro Yulong, it's none of your business to interfere in my marriage affairs. No, it is my business. Xio Yulong smirked and said, "At the moment, the entire floating cloud city knows that the number one beauty had been married into our Xio clan. Once today is over, the entire city will also know that this number one beauty had in fact not married into Xyro clan, but to a bastard child that the Xyro clan had been feeding in vain for 16 years. And what a huge joke it would be. Turning his gaze, he looked towards the silent Zia Hungi that was standing at the back. Yulong raised his voice again and continued. Master Zia, from what Yulong had heard, you and Xio Ying had been brothers in arms years ago, and it may have been your wish to marry your daughter to Xio Chi. However, now that the truth is out that this Xioi was actually not Xio Ying<unk>s son, but was just a bastard child that was picked up from God knows where, I suppose that you must feel conflicted in your heart and is having trouble accepting this right now. Zia Hungi remained silent, but his facial expression did indeed look somewhat terrible. And at this time, the rest of the Xio clan disciples who could not bear to see Ziaingu<unk>s marriage to Xio Chi finally found their opportunity to vent their frustrations and started to yell, "Zo Yulong is right. Ziaingu belongs to our XO clan. And now that we know Xioi is not one of our Xio clan people, the marriage should be enulled." The fifth elder clearly knew that Xio Chi wasn't one of us. Yet, he still went ahead with the marriage. This is simply a shameless swindle of a marriage. This good for-no trash Xioi was not fit to be with Zia Kingu in the first place. Quickly enol this marriage and then banish him from Xyro clan. Master Zia, please say something. Aren't you angry after being lied to by Fifth Elder and Xyrochi for so many years? Are you going to let your daughter's marriage become nothing but a joke? Sarcasm, criticism, rejoicement, insults, and even the sound of people fanning the flames were heard. The people who were jealous of Xiochi marrying Xio Kingu finally found an outlet to release their anger, and with each shout, the insults became more earpiercing than the last. Since all of them were supposedly on the correct side, each and every one of them continued to criticize with an upright face, as if they were at a common trial. At this moment, Xio Yunhai gave his verdict with a cold face. Xioi, you have heard everyone. You have no right to marry Zia Clan's precious daughter. In order to not let our XO clan become floating Cloud City's laughingstock and bring shame to the Zia clan, hand over the marriage certificate before you leave our XO clan. Xioi did not speak as he reached into his chest and took out the marriage certificate. He had always carried around this marriage certificate with him. This was because the number of people within the XO clan who wanted to destroy this certificate were simple too numerous. Once Xio Yulong saw the certificate, he rushed toward him with the intent to snatch it. However, Xio Chi just moved to the side and placed the marriage certificate into the hands on Zia Kingu. Zia Kingu subconsciously held on to the certificate as if in a trance. As husband and wife, the decision on whether or not we should separate should always be between us. Not even the gods have the right to interfere. As Xiochi looked at Ziaingu, his cold voice reached everyone's ears. Immediately after he gentled his voice as he tenderly looked at Zia Kingu. But at the moment, I don't have the power to protect this marriage certificate. So I can only pass it to you. If you still want to be my wife, then keep and protect it. If you want to regain your freedom, which is also good as well, then destroy it at once. Zia Kingu. Although he lost some of his pride as man by passing the responsibility of the marriage certificate and decision to Zia Kingu, at that time he had no other choice. As he saw the quiet Zia Kingu tightly clutch onto the marriage certificate, he gave her a slight smile and nodded. He took one last glance at Xoli, Xio Linkxy, and Zia Hongi and then walked towards the main entrance. He never turned his head back as he solitarily stepped out of Xyro clan and disappeared from everyone's line of sight. Xyrochi was a nobody and had always been since the beginning. Even amongst the Xyro clan, he was a dispensable existence. Even if his speech today had amazed quite a number of people, it still didn't change the impression people had towards him for the past number of years. Since his departure was only just a small matter, it at most let them gloat for a while. Instantly, all their attention were focused onto the marriage certificate in Zeia Kingu hands. Lady Zia, I assume that you must be furious after knowing the truth. Xouro Yulong walked closer to Zia Kingu, laughing as he continued. Xyrochi not only deceived our Xyro clan for 16 years, but had also dragged your Zia clan down, too. But it's okay now. Lady Zeia just has to tear up the marriage certificate in your hand, and whatever that had happened before would just disappear. The entire floating cloud city will understand and support your decision. With your talent and beauty, surely you can find someone who is a thousand times better than Xio Chi. Ever since Xio Yulong<unk>s shameful performance, Zia Kingu had always felt disgust towards him. And at this point in time, she was even further disgusted than before. She coldly replied, "Do you not understand what my husband had just said? Outsiders have no business in interfering with our affairs." Xio Yulong<unk>s complexion suddenly changed color. A lot of other complexions had also changed. Almost everyone thought that Zia Kingu had only wanted to repay a debt of gratitude and thus was forced into marrying Xioi in order to fulfill the agreement from 16 years ago. If not with her talent and appearance, why would she willingly marry a good for-no piece of trash when she had the pick of any number of talented young men? They were under the impression that Zia Kingu would not hesitate to rip the marriage certificate into shreds. But who would have thought that she would say the same words Xiochi had said with an incomparable determination and still called Xio Chi husband. Xio Yulong face became the red color of pork liver. This was entirely different from the play he had expected to happen. Now that Xiochi had been expelled from Xio clan by right, Zia Kingu did not have any relationships with the Xio clan anymore. If she doesn't tear the marriage certificate, the Xio clan fundamentally had no right to force her. Xoli lifeless eyes suddenly flash with splendor, and his gaze towards Zia Kingu became extremely gentle. Under Xio clan's pressure and chance, she had instead said those words. So no matter what the future may hold, she could be considered to have not let Xioi down. At least she defended the last of Xioi's pride. Even Xio Lynxy, who always had an unspeakable enmity towards Zia Kingu, felt sincere gratitude for her. Zia Hungi, who had been keeping silent the entire time, nodded his head at this very moment with a very pleased look appearing on his face. Xyro Quangian<unk>s complexion had also become ashen. If Ziaingu did not tear up the marriage certificate, it would become much more troublesome to obtain her. This was because behind him was his overseer, Xio Mashen, the vice leader of Xyro sects discipline hall, who was old-fashioned, strict, and also someone whom even he feared. He came with Xio Quanjian this time to firstly protect him, but secondly to monitor him and prevent him from doing anything that would sully the reputation of the Xio sect. Xyro Mashan allowed him to flirt as he pleased. Yet, he would never allow him to steal another's wife. Even if he was the biological son of the sect master, he would still interfere regardless. However, he was still a young master of the Xio sect. How could he not be able to handle a merchant's daughter from floating Cloud City? He lowered his eyebrows and forcefully ordered, "This matter is not your decision to make. This marriage has affected Xioclan's reputation. And since Zio clan originated from the Zio sect, this means it also affects my Zioex reputation. I won't allow anyone to tarnish the reputation of my Zio sect. Xioba, go and destroy the marriage certificate for me. Yes, young master. Xioangji unforcefully roared out an implausible reason, but no one dared to refute him. Xio Mashan 2 did not take any action. Xiooba responded to the order by jumping down from the stage and charged towards Zia Kingu, his target, the marriage certificate in her hands. Even if it was just a follower of the Xyro sect, who in floating cloud city would be able to stop him. Just as everyone thought the marriage certificate in Zia Kingu hands was unable to be saved, a whizzing sound suddenly descended from the sky, accompanied by a surge of extremely cold wind. Whoosh! Before Xioba even reached the floor, he had already been blown back and unsightly sprawled on the stage. He continued to lie on the floor, trembling and did not get up. If one took a closer look, they would notice a thin layer of ice surrounding his entire body. The sudden change of events caused everyone to exclaim in surprise. Zyro Mashan, who had been keeping his eyes closed all this while, suddenly opened his eyes and look upwards towards the sky. At this moment, a clear and chilly voice came from above. You Zyro sect have truly gotten more and more capable, huh? So much that you even start to meddle in the marriage affairs of my Asgard disciple. Who gave you the right to do so? In the blue sky with the occasional white cloud, was a floating woman, fully dressed in white, who looked down on the crowd with her cold eyes. She had an exceptionally snow white complexion and vermilion lips, a beauty with skin that was both smooth and fair. She had peerless elegance and a pure holiness like that of a fairy who had descended from the palace in the moon. At the same time, she resembled a cold, prideful and untainted icy lotus. Tl palace in the moon referencing a Chinese folktale about Changer, although her features were clearly distinct. It was hard for anyone to ascertain her true age. She seemed to be in her 20s and then in her 30s, yet still appeared to be in her teens as well. A piece of sparkling and translucent ice crystal levitated around her body. She was just like a fairy, dreamy and absolutely beautiful. The beautiful sight in the sky stunned everyone. Suddenly, a trembling shout rang out in the crowd. Profound floating technique. It's the profound floating technique. This cry was like a bomb that had dropped onto everyone and caused their jaws to open widely as their eyes almost popped out of their sockets. A huge change in expression can be seen in every one of their eyes. That's right. The woman in the sky was clearly floating without any help of any profound items nor any flying creature. She was purely using her own power to float in the sky. And the only people that can float in the sky who should have mastered the profound floating technique must at least reach the level of the sky profound realm. This woman in the sky was actually a practitioner of the legendary sky profound realm. Frozen clouds, seven fairies. Xio Mashian whispered under his breath as both his mind and body began to tighten and deep fear flashed across his eyes. What? What did you say? Xioangjian, who was intoxicated by the woman in the sky, suddenly regained his senses after hearing the four words, Frozen cloud, seven fairies. These seven women were the reason why frozen cloud Asgard was one of the top clans. They were people that even his father deeply feared. Rumors say that within the frozen clouds seven fairies, the lowest profound strength was already at the sky profound realm and the strongest of them was reportedly to be halfway to the emperor profound realm. Xiok's position was always below the frozen cloud asgards because of the existence of the frozen cloud seven fairies. For three consecutive seasons in the blue wind ranking tournament, the Xyro sect had always lost to the frozen cloud asgard young master. She is the fifth ranked amongst the frozen cloud seven fairies. Chu Yuelli, I don't know why she would appear here. But no matter what, do not offend her. Even if 10 of me were to come together, I will still not be able to win against her. Xio Mashan whispered softly. He clearly knew what kind of lecher Xioangji truly was. If he angered her by revealing his perverted nature, the consequences would simply be unthinkable. When he heard what Mashan had said, how could Xioangjian dare be cocky? He rapidly curbed his arrogance and raised his head to speak. So, it's actually Chu Fairy, a frozen cloud, Asgard. This junior's name is Xioangjian. To have accidentally encountered you here, is this Quangians great fortune? But why did Chu Fairy decide to personally descend on this little floating cloud city today? Could it be that it's an important matter? Father had always lectured to be extremely courteous if encountering a fairy from frozen cloud asgard. If there is anything I can help you with, Chu Fairy should not hesitate to speak. After hearing the words frozen cloud Asgard from Xioangjians mouth, everyone became instantly stunned and a gulp sound could be heard coming out of their throats. This little floating cloud city had received the concern of a ferry. Normally, even third rate sex held this place beneath their contempt. But today, not only had Zyro sect members come, even frozen cloud Asgard had sent people. It was not surprising that this woman had come forth in such an extraordinary manner, for she had a beauty that was out of this world, and also used the profound floating technique. She was actually a person from frozen Cloud Asgard, and her status within frozen cloud asgard was not low at all. Otherwise, Xyro Quangian, as the Xyro sect master's son, would unlikely go out of his way to be this cautious and polite. Why am I come here? Chu Yuili coldly answered. You Xyro sect are even bullying my disciple. Don't tell me that you want me to watch silently and allow you to humiliate her. Your disciple? Xioangjian stared blankly for a bit. Then afterwards, he adopted a frightened look. Chu fairy, the disciple you are talking about, could it be Zia Kingu? As he said that, Zia Kingu walked up to Chu Yuelli and respectfully said, "Master." That one simple word had caused Xyro Quangjian<unk>s face to fiercely convulse as Xyro Yulong fell into a complete gaze. The entire Xyro clan and the various nobles of floating Cloud City were all struck dumb, shocked to the point that their hearts had nearly halted. "My heavens!" This Zia clan's daughter was actually Frozen Cloud Asgard's disciple. Unexpectedly, a disciple of frozen cloud Asgard had all along been within this floating cloud city. The faces of those that looked at Zia Kingu had changed to become incomparably shocked and awed. The gaze of the watching Zia Hungi had also abruptly changed. Xyro Yulong stood there for a long time and then suddenly broke up into a cold sweat. Zeia Kingu was actually a disciple of frozen cloud Asgard. Previously, he went as far as attempting to molest her, but had been taught a lesson that had landed him in an awkward situation. His heart still held that resentment, but when he thought about it, coming back alive from that was simply like picking up what's left of his entire life. To have tried to take liberties with a disciple of frozen cloud Asgard. How many people in Blue Wind Empire had that kind of courage? That was nothing compared to how Xioqi and Zia Kingu had been forced apart. This was his plan he offered to Xyroouang so that Xyroangjian could obtain Zia Kingu after Xyrochi's departure that had miserably failed. If this were to be found out by frozen cloud Asgard, he was practically doomed to die a tragic death. In his cold sweat, Xyro Yulong looked towards the direction of Xyro Quangians face that was devoid of color. So, so it turns out that Zia Kingu was unexpectedly your noble disciple. This Junior had not been aware of this beforehand, which resulted in this misunderstanding. If it was his Xioex disciple, Xioangjian would never let this go. But Frozen Cloud Asgard was different. Those of Frozen Cloud Asgard were not a bloodrelated sect. Their disciples were all female, selected from the ones with the best aptitude amongst the Blue Wind Empire. As a result, they were the smallest sect out of the four major sects. However, they still ranked second amongst the four major sects, which clearly indicated their extraordinary level of skill. The aptitude of every disciple within frozen cloud asgard was extremely high, and none were mediocre. Each and every one of them received the protection of their Asgard. If he provoked his Xioex disciples of a lower position, perhaps it would only be a trivial matter. If he provoked another sex disciples, their death would usually be the common result. but to provoke frozen cloud asgard. Even if it was the lowest level female disciple, the Asgard still wouldn't yield, still not give a satisfactory answer, and by no means abandon them. Misunderstanding? It's best if it's only a misunderstanding. Are you still going to continue to tear my disciples marriage certificate to shreds?" Chu Uli asked with an indifferent expression as she swept her gaze downwards, and no one dared to meet her gaze face to face. Although she was just a woman, all the men present felt that she was a fairy of the moon palace. As a common man, they were ashamed of their inferiority and felt the gap in between. It was fundamentally impossible for them to dare to take more than a single glimpse. Since it was a misunderstanding, how could this one dare? Xioangji unreasoned calmly. But Junior is puzzled about one matter. Although Junior may not know many things, it is understood that frozen cloud asgards fairies are forbidden to be passionate and have to suppress their desires. They are never allowed to married yet. Why was this Zia King you allowed to? Hmp Although my asgards frozen clouds arts indeed requires self-restraint and abstinence, it never forbad disciples to marry. Kingu joined my asgard at the age of 12, but had always been reluctant to follow me back to Asgard. It was simply for the weight of marrying Xio Chi at the age of 16. It wasn't out of passion, but merely because of her kindness and commitment. In the face of such heavy righteousness and genuine nature, my Asgard naturally would not prevent this. Even if my Asgard prohibited marriage, this may well be the biggest exception. Young Master XO, do you have any other questions? Chu Yuili coldly replied. It was said in a flat voice, and every single letter lingered in one's ear, laced in ice. It made the heart suffer an uncontrollable chill that didn't let one dare to have any refutable thoughts. No, no. This was truly just a misunderstanding. Xio Quanji unhurriedly said. He had no choice but to turn towards Zia Kingu and say, "Zeapairy, just then I was unaware that you were a frozen cloud asgard disciple. If you were offended in any way, please do not take it to heart." The status of being Xio sect master's son was obviously higher than that of a frozen cloud asgards disciple. But with Chu Yuili here, he had no option but to know his place. This was an inconspicuously remote place. So there was only Xyro Mashen, Xyro Ba, and Zyro Ju by his side. If he annoyed Chu Yuili in any way and made her unhappy, they could be completely be exterminated on their road back home. Afterwards, they would be destroyed without a trace and could only die in vain. Before arriving to this dump, how could he possible anticipate the unexpected appearance of a person of status like Chu Ullei? His desire for a dip of Zia Kingupai was now impossible, and he had wasted half a day's worth of planning. In front of Chu Uli, he had no choice but to hold back what he honestly wanted, and his heart stifled in oppression. As his chest heaved, he turned his gaze towards Xolini. Even though Ziaingu was already a lost cause, there was another one. Chu Yuelli would protect Zia Kingu, but she wouldn't protect Xio Linkxy, a stranger. Otherwise, she would have showed up when Xyroqi had been expelled instead of only appearing when the gazes shifted towards Ziaingu. Indeed, in regards to Chu Yuelli, she only looked after Zia Kingu. About other people whom she had no relations with, she simply did not care one bit. Furthermore, she had no reason and even less of an obligation to interfere. With Chu Fair's visit, Uzio clan could be considered to have been graced with the light of her presence. And so we ought to begin the business we're all here for today. Zauan's complexion changed as his gazed pointed towards Zyro Lynxy. So now, Zyroa Zyro Jio first sees the thief who stole the profound opening powder. Tomorrow the offender will be brought back for Xyro to be dealt with. The sentence, tomorrow the offender will be brought back for Xyio to deal with. once more would let the foolish understand the obvious reason behind Xyro Quangians despicable and shameless staged play. Although this staged accusation had already been exposed by Xyroqi in front of everyone, it was suppressed under the absoluteness of the Xyro sect and Xyro Quangian simply continued to execute it without delay. Yes, young Master Xyro and Xyro Juu stepped off the platform at the same time and closed in on Xyro Linky. master. Upon seeing that, Zia Kingu promptly hinted at Chu Yuili with a meaningful look, hoping that she would help protect Xyro Lynxy. At the very least, to not let Xioang take her away. However, Chu Yuili remained unaware and did not respond. Zia King<unk>s expression became even more anxious as she wore her plea on her face and said, "Master, you have also seen how Xyroangjian was aiming for me today. Xyrochi was expelled and had to suffer because of our implication. Before leaving, he asked me to protect his grandfather and little aunt. I had already agreed. Consider this as the last thing I will do for him. After this matter, I will immediately follow Master back to frozen cloud Asgard, remain in Asgard, and meditate to cultivate in the ways of the profound. I ask Master to fulfill this request. Chu Yuili<unk>s eyes brightened and stirred slightly as she let out a soft sigh. She lifted her right hand and gently waved. In a split second, a current of cold air abruptly appeared. Xioba and Xio Ju suddenly felt a chill and stopped in their tracks, not daring to venture any further. There was an immediate subtle change in Xioangjian<unk>s complexion as he took a deep breath. Chufairy, what is the meaning of this? Chufairy had criticized my Xioex involvement in your noble disciples marriage affair. Yet, when we're handling my Xio sect affair, Chu Fairy is still planning to intervene. "No, I have no interest in getting involved with your Xio sex affair," Chu Uli said calmly with an indifferent expression that did not waver. "I'm simply somewhat unaccustomed to these matters, and as a result, moved as I pleased. Since you said that this is your Xioex affair, then is Xoliny one of your Xioex people?" Xioang shook his head. No, what she had stolen was my Xioex profound opening powder. But from what I had heard earlier, the profound opening powder was a gift you brought from Xio sect that you had already given to Xio clan yesterday. What the gifts you have already given out still actually belongs to your Xio sect? If this affair were to spread out, are you not worried about being ridiculed by others? Chu Yuili bluntly said without restraint. Xyroquang immediately widened his eyes as he became dumbruck and was left speechless. Zyro links is a person of Xyroclan, not your Zyro sect. The profound opening powder has already become Zyro clan's possession and does not belong to your Zyro sex anymore. In that case, even if Zyro links had stolen the profound opening powder, it is also up to Zyro clan to administer the punishment. This affair has absolutely no relation with your Zyro sect. Chu Yuili inclined her eyes and looked at Xyro Yunhai. It was merely just a gaze, yet it made Zyro Yunhai's entire body quiver and unconsciously made him shortened his height by half. Chu Yuili lightly continued, "Zyroclan's master, how do you handle a situation where the culprit of a theft was one of your Xyroclan members?" Xyro Yunhai glanced at Xyro Quangian and clenched his teeth as he was compelled to feain his calmness. If a child of this clan was guilty of a theft, the lightest punishment would be an isolation of 3 months in the rear mountains. What Zyro links had stolen was Xrok's important treasure. So, she ought to be given the heaviest of punishments. It should be a confinement of 15 years in the rear mountains. In those 15 years, she is not allowed to even think about walking half a step beyond the rear mountains reflection gorge. Xio Yunhai looked away and did not speak any longer. Then, what are you staring blankly for? You're not going to shudder inside that reflection, gorge Xioangjian<unk>s calm and collected face howled in rage. Even though his heart was unwillingly humbled, even if he was more foolish than before, he still understood that Chu Yuelli had already preserved a considerably large amount of his reputation. Otherwise, it was possible that she would directly expose his accusations, which at the same time would make him unable to obtain Xyro Lynxy, lose the greatest amount of face, and publicly embarrass him enough to the point he would be unable to get off the platform. Although Chu Yuili didn't publicly expose Xyouang to the public, and didn't restore Xio Lynxy's innocence, it still made Xio lie deeply respect her as his heart filled with gratitude. This dignified frozen cloud 7 fairy was an honorable person of character that took an extra step for a girl of the minor Xio clan. This could be considered to be an extreme benevolence, a major favor, and a huge amount of kindness. At the very least, she had prevented the nightmare of Xioangji on bringing Xio Lynxy back to the XO sect. The girl I taught had been misdirected, and I had deceived the XO clan for more than 10 years, so I ought to suffer the same severe punishment. Xoli<unk>'s complexion remained serene, and he spoke indifferently as he watched the fourth elder Xio Chang, who walked over. In Chu Uli's presence, how could Xio Chang possibly dare be rash? He didn't dare to speak a single sentence and yielded to the norms of society as he leads Xio Lie and Xio Lynxy towards the direction of the rear mountains. Although it ultimately ended in a miserable confinement of 15 years, Zia Kingu understood that this situation Chu Uli had accomplished was her absolute limit. It was obvious that Xoli's spontaneous request to be confined to the reflection gorge was to accompany Xio Lynxy and at the same time protect her from harm. Perhaps in the case of safety, there was no need for any worries. As for what would follow, they have no choice but to take care of their own destiny. In that case, there is essentially no reason for us master and disciple to stay here any longer. After Xio, Linkxy, and Xio lie were brought to the rear mountains, Chu Yuelli indifferently spoke. Young Master Xio, after you have left Floating Cloud City, I will still be nearby. King, you let us depart. The final words Chu Yuelli had said made Xouro Quangji unseen his teeth. After you have left floating Cloud City, I will still be nearby. It was obvious that her words warned him to not mess with Xio Lynxy. Although she simply said it for Xolini's safety since she wanted to protect her, it was inevitable that this protection will last until the very end. After Chu Yuili left with Ziaingu, Xioangji unheavily punched and ruthlessly smashed the seats handle. The Grandmaster chair vibrated in shock and broken down into wooden pieces. He was under the impression that he would obtain two beauties who were devastatingly beautiful enough to cause the downfall of either a city or a state and didn't expect this scheme to actually become a wasted effort. The result was merely the expulsion of an insignificant nobody and the confinement of two people within the Xio clan to nothing more than a reflection gorge. It was absolutely, completely, and fundamentally different from the outcome he had desired. At this moment, he wasn't aware of the fact that he had not only failed to obtain what he wanted, but instead brought a disaster similar to that of a drowning upon him and the entire Xyro sect. The outskirts of floating cloud city in the corner of an abandoned house. Zyroi sat there quietly and laid his powerless body against the cold wall behind him. His lifelessly glazed eyes stared into space as if his soul had already left his body. He had remained in this position for quite a few hours now. In the Azure cloud continent, he was abandoned by his parents and until his death, he never knew who his birth parents were. The only connection he had with them was the pendant he always carried with him in front of his chest. In the Blue Wind Empire, both his parents died when he was young, but at least he knew who his parents were and what were they called. He even had a grandfather and a little aunt. However, God decided to pull another cruel joke on him. Everything was unexpectedly all fake. Grandfather was not his real grandfather and little aunt was also not his little aunt. He still did not know who his real parents were and didn't even have a clue as to what his own surname was. Two lifetimes of experiences had widened his frame of mind. But like before, he still was unable to accept this short and sudden awareness of not actually knowing his roots and where he came from. Who exactly am I? And where should I go next? The expulsion from Zyro clan meant that he would never be able to set foot in Zyro clan and take another step inside. In his heart, he very clearly knew that not only was he unable to stay any longer in the Xyro clan, he also was incapable of staying in floating Cloud City. The only reason he had not left was because he was worried about Grandfather and Little Aunt. He at least wanted to confirm their safety. Time slowly flowed from morning to noon and once more until the sky slowly but finally darkened. Having not eaten for an entire day, Xioi still did not have the slightest feeling of hunger. When the sun had taken back its last ray of light and completely set, Xyrochi finally raised his head slightly as the once lifeless eyes slowly condensed into a terrifying radiance as if belonging to that of an evil spirit. All of a sudden, he started to laugh silently, the corners of his lip curled up as he laughed in a sinister manner, similar to that of an evil spirit from hell. In the middle of his chilling laugh, he slowly stretched out his hand, and a blade of a dark green grass appeared on top of his palm. It was indeed one of the star concealing grass he had found in the rear mountain on the day he had married Zeia Kingu. As he stared at the star concealing grass, a dark green glow suddenly shot out from his palm, enveloping the star concealing grass within it. Under the dark green glow, the star concealing grass started to twist and turn strangely, shrink, and change color. Then finally, it became a small pile of dark green powder. Xioi blew gently and scattered all the dark green powder. Only a transparent pearl that had unknowingly appeared was left in his palm. This was the sky poison pearls most core and also most absurd ability that opposed the heavens themselves. Herb refinement. In order to create medicine, a diverse amount of herbs are often required to be crushed, processed, fused, added profound energy for additional effects, etc. This process was not only complicated, but would also unavoidably cause a certain amount of medicinal force to be lost. Furthermore, it was certain that there would always be a probability of failure, especially when it comes to high-grade medicine. Not only was a huge amount of gold needed to purchase the rare ingredients, the chances of failure was extremely high as well. And once you fail, everything would be gone. In addition, not everyone had the ability to make the higher grades of medicine. There was a very high requirement for the ability of the alchemist, the cauldron, the ambiencece, and the effects added using profound energy. However, if one used the Sky Poison Pearls herb refinement, there was absolutely no need to worry about all this. This is because it could rapidly refine the most important part of the ingredient within the shortest time possible and perfectly fuse it. The whole process would not waste any medicinal force, and furthermore, there was no chance of failure. As for the unused parts, they would be disposed of by the sky poison pearl. After recognizing its owner, it could even follow the thoughts of the owner to refine and fuse a certain percentage of the ingredients. This terrifying ability was sufficient to make any human being in the world to go mad over it. At that time, the reason why every top-notch clan in the Azure cloud continent chased after his life was not because of the poisonous ability of the sky poison pearl, but was because of its terrifying and ridiculous refining and fusing ability. As long as there was suitable and sufficient ingredients through the sky poison pearl, it would safely become the most perfect of medicines in the shortest amount of time. If the ability of the sky poison pearl were to spread in the profound sky continent, it would certainly raise a commotion, and the amount of people chasing after Xioi's life would not be any less compared to that of the Azure cloud continent. Looking at the transparent pearl in his hand, Xioi's smile became even more sinister. He opened his mouth, placed it inside, and directly swallowed it. Subsequently, his body suddenly trembled and slowly disappeared in place as if it had suddenly evaporated. Star concealing pill only requires a blade of star concealing grass for a successful herb refinement. Once consumed, perfect invisibility would be activated for 3 hours, regardless of body, sound, smell, and objects on the body. It would all be completely concealed. The star concealing grass was an inconceivable object. But the star concealing pill that was created from it was even more unfathomable to the extreme because what it bestowed exceeded the common sense of human knowledge in the profound sky continent. So much that no one would ever dare to imagine the miraculous effect it would bring. Xioi completely believed that he had used the very first star concealing pill in the entire profound sky continent. Because in this world, the only ingredient for the star concealing pill was the star concealing grass. And the only thing that could refine the star concealing grass was the one and only sky poison pearl. Zochi stood up and walked toward the Xyro clan without shape, sound, and smell. The sky had already darkened, and the lamps inside Xyroclan lit the way. Xyrochi stepped through the gate of Xyro clan and casually walked in a straight line without the least bit of cautiousness in his posture. As the disciples of the Xyro clan walked past him, no one took a glance in his direction. After consuming the star concealing pill, the concealment attained was said to be perfect because not only did it make the body transparent, even the external and internal presence would be completely concealed, as if one was completely hidden in a crevice of an unseen space. When he had first used the star concealing pill at the time in Azure cloud continent, even a clan master that ranked in the top 10 of the continent could not even discover him when he was within 10 steps. Before this journey, Xioi's complexion was incomparably tranquil. On the road, he had heard the whispers of many. He became aware of Zia Kingu being led away by her master, as well as Xio Lie and Xio Lynxy's imprisonment in the rear mountains, an isolation of an entire 15 years. The conclusion of today's general assembly of the Xio clan resulted in the very clear and final selection of Xio Yulong, who would accompany Xioang's group of four towards the Xio sect. The very next day, when he arrived at the guest hall, Xiochi halted in his footsteps as he silently listened in to the conversation inside. Yulong about tomorrow's departure with young master XO to Xio sect. You must always remember young master XO<unk>'s kindness of rebirth today. That is only natural. Xio Yulong would remember young master Xio<unk>'s great favor and huge kindness. Yulong once more offers young master XO three cups. Xio Yulong. Although today's matter had failed, the blame was not yours. Who would have imagined that Zia Kingu was actually a disciple of frozen cloud asgard? Your character is actually one that I like. So, as long as you are properly obedient in Xio sect, I will not treat you unfairly. Thank you, young master Zo. Young Master XO, you are truly my life's greatest nobility. Yulong will certainly be loyal and true to Young Master Xio and would never be disloyal. I didn't foresee Zia Kingu<unk>s matter, but my plan to frame Xio Lynxy E is not entirely a wasted effort. Although young master Xio cannot touch her because of the nearby Chu Yuili, young master Xio can just find a reason to return here after a year or so. How could Zyro Lynxy possibly escaped then? He Zro Yulong<unk>s tone of voice had become somewhat careless, and it was apparent that he had already become intoxicated. As Zyro Chi was listening in, his complexion became more and more cold as the fingers in both hands rigidly tightened. Afterwards, he turned to leave in the direction of the east courtyard. As he came out of the east courtyard, there was an additional short dagger in his hands that came from who knows where. Then he once again moved towards the direction of the north courtyard. North courtyard's number 11 was Xio Yulong<unk>'s courtyard, and at the moment there wasn't a single soul in sight. Xio Chi pushed open the doorway and entered. In the middle of the room, he took a quick look at its layout. Afterwards, he coldly laughed and walked towards the window directly in front of him. As he lifted the short blade, he stabbed the middle of the window and then pulled out the dagger. The abovementioned window suddenly grew an additional fist-sized hole. Then, Zyro Chi just stood still to the side and quietly waited for Xyro Yulong to arrive. He did not have to wait for long, for the echo of the sound of movement came half an hour later. Subsequently, the room's door was pushed opened, and a Zyro Yulong who stunk of the thick smell of wine swayed inside with the support of Xyro Yang. Boss, when you enter Zyro sect, you mustn't forget these years of this little brother who was always at your beck and call. Xyro Yang fawned as he lifted Xyro Yulong onto the bed. Even if he were to die, he would still never have thought that at this moment there was a person two steps left of where he currently stood, who soundlessly, motionlessly, and coldly watched him. Oh, who? Xio Yulong was drunk to the point of unconsciousness as he fell directly onto the bed and vaguely responded with two sounds that were only made because he had groaned. Xiochi walked in front of Xio Yulong<unk>s bed and slowly raised the short dagger in his hands. In a head-on confrontation, he was obviously not a match for Xio Yulong. Even with the support of the star concealing grass, there was no certainty that he would be able to kill Xio Yulong. This was because even if one were to be completely defenseless, in the event of an attack, the body's profound energy would conditionally release and protect itself. His body that fundamentally had no profound energy and the ordinary dagger he held in his hand may not necessarily pierce through Xio Yulong's body that had a profound strength of the third level of the naent profound realm. The concealing ability of the star concealing pill was not entirely invincible during the period of invisibility. If someone were to come into contact with the concealed body, the invisibility would immediately be cancelled. If he had missed his attack and instead were to be touched by the opponent, he would completely get caught in a predicament and result may even end in death. However, at the moment, Xyro Yulong was dead drunk. So, thus, it was the perfect opportunity. He took a look at the location of the hole he had poked in the window earlier, and after making sure of the position, he narrowed his eyes as the dagger in his hand suddenly dropped down. He used the strength in his entire body to ruthlessly thrust the left side of Xio Yulong<unk>'s dansion, a place 2 in below the navl. In the instant it pierced through, he instantly jumped backwards and stood in the corner of the room. That one stab could have directly severed Zyro Yulong<unk>s throat and taken his life. But yet, he chose not to do so. How could he bear to let Zyro Yulong die if he died so simply? How could that possibly release the hatred inside his heart? He wanted to thoroughly crush Xio Yulong's beautiful dream, to let him experience a fall from heaven down to hell, and to let him wish that he would be better off dead. The fun show had only just begun. Ah, HH. A vast amount of blood blossomed out as Xyro Yulong<unk>'s lower abdomen bursted open. The previously intoxicated Xio Yulong let out a sound similar to that of a dying pig as he fell off the bed. Both hands covering his stomach as he rolled around on the floor in pain. The door was suddenly flung open and a Zyro Yang who wasn't all that far away rushed back in after hearing the scream. When he saw the situation before his eyes, his complexion pad and his hands trembled in panic. B. Boss. He wanted to help Xio Yulong, but he didn't dare to touch him without permission. After his initial burst of panic, he rapidly dashed outside and quickly roared, "Clan master, Clan Master, Xio Yulong. Xio Yulong has been attacked by an assassin, Clan Master." Under the night sky, Xio Yang<unk>s voice traveled a considerable distance and made the originally very quiet Xio clan suddenly become extremely chaotic. As he watched the crying Xio Yulong on the floor, Xiochi coldly laughed, pushed open the door, and leisurely walked out. It wasn't long until Xyro Yunhai, Xyro Guu, and several elders immediately rushed in. After seeing the dagger stabbed in the abdomen and the blood gushing out of Zyro Yulong<unk>s body, Xyro Yunhai was suddenly at a loss. He stumbled in the middle of rushing over. Yulong. Yulong. Xio Yulong<unk>s consciousness did not fade at all. The previous drunk was completely awake as he reached out his hand to grab onto Xio Yunhai's sleeve and let out a weak sound of suffering. Father, hurry, hurry and lift him onto the bed, Xyro said as he quickly opened his medicine chest. The faces of the few elders who followed in closely behind them were full of complete astonishment. Who? Who did this? After Zyro Yulong was lifted up on the bed and laid down, Zyro Yunhai and the first elder used profound energy to staunch his bleeding wound. Zyro Yunhai's complexion distorted as he asked, "Zyroou, how's the situation?" Xu<unk>s eyebrows were tense from the very beginning. When he heard Xio Yunhai's question, he took a long deep sigh. There is no major danger to his life. The assassin was clearly not aiming for his life, but this cut is truly malicious. It just so happened that the stab pierced right in the middle of the profound vein's profound heart. In turn, this stab to the profound vein is like the puncturing of a balloon. Not only is the profound vein damaged, all of the profound energy has also leaked out. wh at when Xio Yunhai heard that all the profound energy has also leaked out. It was like a clap of thunder that instantly changed his complexion into a pale white. He compelled himself to remain calm and asked with a trace of hope. Then how long will it take to recover? Xio shook his head. It is a profound energy leakage that had already been depleted. This is fundamentally impossible to recover from. But fortunately, his profound vein injury could be repaired. And after repairment, it is possible to once more train from the beginning. Xio Yunhai's body abruptly twitched as Xio Yulong<unk>s complexion became completely covered in despair. This cut didn't want X Yulong<unk>s life, but instead crippled his entire profound strength. Like a meat pie that had fallen from the heavens, XO clan had finally got an opportunity to enter the XO sect. Xou Yulong took great pains to grab this extremely rare opportunity to at last be able to soar into the skies. Yet on the eve of this beautiful dream that was about to be happen, his entire profound strength had been completely destroyed. Even if they had to use their toes as collateral, they knew that it was impossible for Xyroang to bring back a waste with a damaged profound vein back to Xyro sect. Who? Who the hell could be that malicious? Who? Xio Yunhai's entire body trembled as his complexion became ashen. Originally, he thought that Xio Yulong<unk>s immediate departure to the Xyro sect was an extraordinary happy event. He even thought of making himself available in the afternoon and was so impatient about this that he had already prepared Xyro Yulong<unk>'s traveling clothes for tomorrow. Unexpectedly, before even walking two steps towards heaven, he had suddenly dropped back down to hell. Clan master, you must calm down first. Yulong is still conscious right now, so he may know who did this evil act. Xoli said with a dark face. Xio Yunhai woke up from his trance and quickly came over to Xio Yulong<unk>s side. In a grave voice, he asked, "Yulong, did you see who stabbed you?" At this moment, Xio Yulong<unk>s abdomen had already been wrapped with layers of bandages by Xio, so his injury had been temporarily stabilized. He shook his head and painfully answered, "Don't know. I didn't see anyone at all. didn't see anyone at all. Zyro Yunhis widened his eyes. Then Zyro Changengs gaze suddenly flashed and spoke in alarm. Quick, look over there at that window. Shockingly enough, on the diagonally opposite window, there was an additional fist-sized hole. Zyro Yunhai placed his hands on top of it, and his entire body revealed his murderous intent. It's quite evident that someone had been hiding behind this window, waited until Yulong came in, took advantage of his drunkness, and used this dagger to injure Yulong. Xoli cautiously spoke. This courtyard is situated at the very center of the Xio Clan territory. Yet, someone actually infiltrated and pulled off such a quiet assassination. This person must be extremely familiar with our XO clan, or this may even be the actions of our Xio clan members. After he finished speaking, Xoli<unk>'s eyes inadvertently glanced at the respective Xio Bo, Xio Z, and Xio Chang. Xoli's reasoning fiercely shook Xio Yunhai's heart. In floating Cloud City, the Xio clan was considered to be one of the top clans who practiced in the profound. Regardless of the degree of difficulty, to infiltrate the Xio clan and assassinate the clan master's son was an extremely large risk. And in terms of outer appearance, Xio Yulong was usually courteous with an excellent reputation. Who and for what reason would assassinate him? If the assassin was actually a person of the Xyro clan, then it all of a sudden became easier to explain. If this was done by the Xyro clan's members, the infiltration would become incomparably easier and would also easily grasp this fortunate timing of when Xio Yulong would become drunk. As for the reason, that was naturally their jealousy of Xio Yulong<unk>s departure to Xio sect. If crippled or killed, the Xio sect would then select another person. The assassin would also have that opportunity. As he thought about it, Xio Yunhai's heart chilled and his vigilance sharpened. Because the second elder, third elder, and fourth elder by his side were the biggest suspects. They all dreamed for their own grandson to be sent to the Xio sect. Faced with this rare opportunity that came from the Xyo sect members, it wouldn't be strange if they did such a crazy and ridiculous thing. "Zyro Goo, how is Yulong<unk>s injury now?" Xio Yunhai said as he gritted his teeth to keep calm. "The wound has already stopped bleeding and the medicine has been applied. There is no immediate danger. Based on Yulong<unk>s current condition, it should take almost half a month to completely heal. But on the topic of repairing his profound vein, that may even take several months. At that time, the training of profound strength must also start a new. Xio answered truthfully. At this moment, a panicked yell suddenly came from outside the door like the sound of thunder. Fire fire. The infirmary and the southern courtyard are both on fire. Whio ferociously turned around and ran outside in a way that seemed like he had no care for his life. The infirmary stored a countless number of herbs and remedies. They were like his life to him. Xio Yunhai and the others were also startled because the southern courtyard was precisely the very place where the clan master and elders resided. The four elders did not speak anymore and immediately rushed out wildly. Xyro Yunhai slightly hesitated behind them and anxiously faced Xyro Yulong. Yulong, your wound is no longer life-threatening. Take a good rest and don't think about anything else. I will definitely arrest the culprit of your assassination as soon as possible. After saying that, Xio Yunhai also quickly ran out the door and belineed straight for the southern courtyard. That place housed the important possessions he had accumulated throughout his entire life. Now that he'd heard it was on fire if he didn't personally go over there, how could he possibly feel at ease? Zyro Yulong was suddenly left alone in his room. With his profound vein damaged and a serious injury, Zyro Yulong motionlessly laid in place. Don't even mention moving his body. His entire body was so weak that he was incapable of even lifting the smallest of fingers. He blankly stared at the ceiling as his vision dimmed. He sincerely hoped that what had happened was only just a nightmare. Tap tap tap. There obviously should not be anyone here, but the sound of muffled footsteps entered Xyro Yulong<unk>'s ears. This sound made his hair stand on end as he inclined his head towards its source. He saw an approaching figure walk closer, an individual who should never have shown up here. Xio Chi, seeing a person emerge like some sort of ghost, both of Xyro Yulong<unk>s eyes widened in disbelief, as if he could hardly believe what he had seen. He had obviously been expelled from the Xyro clan and was forbidden to enter again. How could he possibly appear here? In the middle of the 3-hour star concealed state, unless it had been removed by an external force, Xioi could freely cancel and reactivate the concealed state until the 3 hours ended. He stood in front of Xyro Yulong<unk>'s bed and coldly looked at him. "Zyro Yulong, you appear to be extremely surprised." "How how could you possibly be here?" Xio Yulong said in an evasive horse voice. He struggled to lift his body to a sitting position, but could barely lift his half his arm, so he completely softened and laid back down. "How could I possibly be here?" Xiochi smiled. It was an easygoing smile in the eyes of the reclining Xyro Yulong, but he detected an odd-inspiring sensation from his body to his mind. He slowly picked up the dagger that Zyro Goo pulled out from Zyro Yulong and pointed it at Xyro Yulong. Of course, I've come to collect your debt. Collect debt? What debt? Do you even know what you're doing? Zyro Yulong<unk>'s body spasomed as his eyes suddenly contracted in alarm. The one who tried to assassinate me was you. No. Impossible. Impossible. You actually have the face to even ask me what debt I'm to collect. The smile on Xyrochi's face faded away, replaced by a demon's malevolence as his facial features twisted into a terrifying expression. The hand that held the dagger trembled slightly as he revealed his endless killing intent and resentment that he had always held back. On the day of my wedding, you tried to use the murdering heart powder to kill me. If it weren't for the protection of my fate, I would have already been a dead man. for your possible soaring success. You fawned over Xio Quangian, didn't hesitate to falsely frame my little aunt, forced me and Zia Kingu apart, and even caused my expulsion. HMPH. My expulsion was nothing much. If it wasn't for Zia Kingu being a frozen cloud, Asgard disciple and her master being nearby, Zia Kingu would be doomed. My little aunt would also have to bear the injustice of being brought back to the Xyro sect and suffer all kinds of humiliation. My grandfather would suffer the bitterness of being alone and spend his entire life harboring a grudge. Xio Yulong, tell me, what kind of debt ought I demand from you? How should I treat you to let you pay off this debt? In his roar of resentment, Xioi raised the dagger and suddenly stabbed in Xio Yulong<unk>s direction. SD, stop. Ah, HH. The flashing dagger stre towards Xyou Yulong's legs and blood spurted in all directions as the tendons on both his legs were mercilessly severed. Zyro Yulong let out a wretched howl that would usually take place in a blood bath and the hellish stab became even more acute as he convulsed in pain. As he watched him suffer, Zyro Cheese's face filled with elation. He once more lifted the recently stabbing dagger and with a low growl abruptly chopped at both hands. Two blood splattering sprays later, the tendons in both of Xio Yulong's hands were also viciously severed. Xio Yulong's blood curdling screech was like that of an evil spirit shrill howl with the four limbs on his body drenched in blood. His entire person entered and fell into a painful and dreadful abyss. He didn't expect that the usually weak and self-abased Xyrochi would actually want to kill him and in such a cruel and vicious way. N spare me. Spare me. I don't want to die. Don't want to die. Xio Yulong<unk>s complexion had already become as pale as paper, and the pain and fear in both his eyes had magnified by more than 10. Xyro Chi again raised the knife and cruy laughed. "Die: No, don't you worry. I won't let you die. Why would I be willing to let you die that quickly and painlessly? With this cut, I want your eyes to never see again." Kai Kai. The two rapid stabs swiftly penetrated Xio Yulong<unk>'s pair of eyes and turned his two wide eyeballs directly into a kind of black and white paste. W A HH? This miserable shriek that sounded like it had come from the depths of hell was extremely tragic, so much that it would make the bodies of those who had heard it tremble and the scalp on their heads numb. Yet Xioi's entire face actually smiled with glee, as if hearing music from the heavens. He pulled the dagger out, narrowed his eyes, and spoke with a faint smile. Tutt, what a sorous cry. Enjoy your voice now while you still can, because afterwards, you may no longer send out such a pleasant sound again. Rip, with this cut, I want you to never speak with your mouth in this lifetime." The dagger mercilessly pierced into the center of Xio Yulong<unk>s mouth. As it was pulled out, a chunk of bloody red tongue and several tens of teeth flew out together. With this cut, I want you to never hear with your ears in this lifetime, Kai. The dagger flashed forward as the color of bright blood fluttered about. Xio Yulong<unk>s ears flew off his person and sprinkled blood as they fell onto the icy cold floor. With this cut, I want you to die without descendants. You're the sort of despicable person who's unworthy of having such a future. The bloody dagger dyed in red was raised, slanted downwards, and ruthlessly pierced through Xyro Yulong<unk>'s groin area. Yeah. Zyro Yulong<unk>'s body became rigidly stiff, and even his extremely horsearo cry also slowly quieted down. The beginning of the fires in the infirmary and southern courtyard were exceptionally strange. It was obviously a malicious arson, but the people in the vicinity unexpectedly didn't even see a single suspicious shadow. Even the XO clan guard who stood outside the infirmary door had not seen anyone enter or exit the infirmary. But fortunately, the fire wasn't too violent and was easily controlled. Xio Yunhai quickly put it in order and afterwards burned in anxiety as he yelled at Xou. He then once more hurriedly returned to Xio Yulong<unk>s little courtyard. As he pushed open the door, Xyro Yunhai was about to shout Xyro Yulong<unk>s name, but instead, his entire body stilled, as if he had been struck by lightning. He had on a foolish expression as he blankly stood in place. Xyro Yulong was no longer on top of the bed, but instead was trembling as he laid on his stomach on the floor like a dead dog. His entire body was covered in blood. Both pairs of his wrists and ankles had the same thick scars, while his hands and feet were thoroughly twisted. His entire face was pasted with blood. On both sides of his ears, what remained were only two piles of flesh. His nose and upper lip had entirely disappeared as if they had went missing, and he foamed bloody bubbles at the mouth. A stream of red, white, and black liquid, alternatively, followed one another from the middle of both his pitch black eye sockets. His lower body was even more completely covered in a bright scarlet red dye. Zyro's entire body trembled until both his legs half-neeled limply onto the floor. Throughout his entire medical career, he'd seen numerous amounts of major to minor injuries, but had never seen such a cruel, bloody, and extremely tragic scene. As he looked at Zyro Yulong's complexion, he could tell that Xyro Yulong was not dead, and his lifespan had not weakened one bit. But this kind of horrifying condition was a hundred, a thousand times more miserable than death. Xyro Yunhai's whole body trembled as his heart shattered into pieces and his complexion became as white as death. As he felt someone getting closer, Zyro Yulong<unk>s body twitched and a sandpaper-like course and hopeless wine was led out of his mouth that foamed with bloody bubbles. Xyro Yunhai's body flashed forward as he staggeringly advanced a step. He suddenly bellowed wildly as if he was insane. Who is it? Who is it? Who is it? Get your ass out here right now. I want to hack you into a thousand pieces of mincemeat and suffer the death of a thousand lingering cuts to die without descendants. Xio Yui's snarl contained an endless amount of resentment and madness that it seemed as if he'd suddenly become mad. He felt as if his chest had almost exploded and that his blood vessels had ruptured. When he looked at his son's completely crippled body lying face down on the ground that didn't seem to resemble anything human, he couldn't bear it anymore and hated that he couldn't loudly cry out forever. He furthermore hated the fact that he couldn't genuinely become insane. Who? Who the hell did this? Get your ass out here right now. Get your ah. Xio Yunhai swiftly dashed two steps forward and completely shattered the rear window with his incomparably loud and mournful roar. At this moment, he unexpectedly discovered two rows of blood red characters on the wall beside his hand. The characters were written using his son Xio Yulong<unk>'s blood. Old piece of Xio This special present is to celebrate your beach ass son's immediate ascension into the Xio sect. Please kindly accept it. Yua Xio Yunhai ferociously punched against the bloody characters written on the wall and split it open with a loud bang. His mournfully loud howl made a sudden arrowlike jet of blood spurred out of his mouth. After that, both his eyes rolled up as he heavily collapsed invertedly on the ground. After the tyrannical bullying of Xio Yulong, Xioi returned to his own room to put the clothing that Xio Lynxy had made for him and all his personal savings into the sky poison pearl. His savings were only meager altogether, a total of 180 yellow profound coins. Before leaving, he suddenly hesitated and then also put the blanket that he and Zia Kingu had slept under into the sky poison pearl. 16 years of living in this place. In the future, it should be improbable that I'll return a second time. Xio Chi had a sense of nostalgia as he looked around for a while. His nostalgia was certainly not because of the Xio clan, but was instead because of the many memories of him and Xio Lynxy in here. Before he turned 11, this place was not only his room, but was also Xio Lynxy's room. In those days, whether it was day or night, they were inseparable and were almost always together at all times. After temporarily staying there for quite a while, Xio Chi finally returned to the concealed state, climbed over the wall, and entered the rear mountain area. The deadline of the star concealing pill still had more than an hour left. The main reason why he used the star concealing pill was to see Xyro lie and Xyro Lynxy to confirm their safety. Amir Xyro Yulong was unworthy of wasting a star concealing pill. Although he had suddenly found two blades of star concealing grass on the first day of his rebirth, he was certain that the star concealing grass was a heavenly rare item. And in the entire profound sky continent, its total may not necessarily exceed 10. Torturing Xio Yulong was only a convenience. It was only an interest for himself, even more for all of the hardships his grandfather and little aunt had suffered. Just a little interest. The one he really wanted to kill was Xioangjian. However, even with the mystical power he had borrowed from the star concealing grass, there was no way he could kill Xioangjian. Although he didn't know the level of Xyroang's profound strength, despite being an idiot, Xyroang was nonetheless from Xyro sect. So his profound strength should be way higher than Xio Yulong by many levels. However, even if he couldn't do it now, he one day he would be able to. This debt, he swore to demand it back a thousandfolds. He was no longer the weak and cowardly Xiochi, the one taking a larger percentage of his will, was the Yanqi that had looked down on everyone. After his master was hounded to death, he had sworn to bury all the clans involved together with his master. As for those who had hurt his kin, he swore he would make Xio clan and Xioangjian regret it for the rest of their lives. The way he had tortured Xio Yulong was incomparably brutal, so much that it would send shivers and continuous nightmares to many if they had witnessed it. However, in his eyes, that was by no means cruel, but just the price one had to pay for going against him. By now, Zo clan was in a disarray, and the piercing sounds of the alarms had been ringing non-stop for a long time. This was exactly what Xio Chi had wanted. Other than torturing X Yulong, setting XO clan's inner halls on fire was another reason that forced the XO clan to issue the clan gathering order. Under the clan gathering order, all people guarding the rear mountains must also return as well. As he had expected, he didn't have to go far to see four XO clan members impatiently charge straight ahead. Like the wind, they rushed past him, making a beline in the general direction of the Xio clan. Xioi sped up his footsteps and went straight towards Rear Mountain's Reflection Gorge. The reflection gorge was a tightly closed area that the Xio clan used in order to punish offenders within their clan. The interior was dark and humid. In the summer, it was parching hot, and in the winter, it was as cold as ice. Fortunately, because of its narrow entrance, it was unlikely that an excessively violent profound beast would intrude inside. In Xio's memory, there weren't many people who had been imprisoned in the Reflection Gorge, and the longest period of imprisonment also was never more than 2 months. However, even when the members of Zyro clan knew that Zyro Lynxy was framed, they still wanted to lock them up for 15 years. 15 years? How many 15 years could one possibly have in this lifetime? As of now, Xio Linkxy was only 15 years old. If she was always locked up inside, then the most beautiful period of her life would just be spent under this dark and cold loneliness. That was the actually cruel torture. As he removed his concealed state, Xioi stared at the entrance of Reflection Gorge and clenched both of his hands tightly. How could he possibly allow grandfather and little aunt to continuously be locked up in this place? However, the himn now fundamentally did not have the ability to rescue them. He had no other choice but to look on helplessly endure and hate. Taking a deep breath, Xioi walked forward. Without his concealment, his advance naturally created the sound of footsteps. The sound of his footsteps aroused the attention of Xio Li in the reflection gorge who automatically looked outside in alert. The moment his gaze met with Xio Chi, he suddenly became startled and involuntarily cried out, "Chair! Ah!" A young girl startled voice also rang out, followed by flurry of rapid footsteps. The silhouette of Xio Lynxy soon appeared beside Xioi. Her complexion was slightly haggarded, and her hair was somewhat messy. After seeing Xio Chi, she covered her lips with her fingers and stood there in place. A split second later, huge amounts of teardrops began to well up in her eyes. "Little Chi!" As she shouted, she ferociously dashed forward and threw herself at Xioi's chest. She used both her arms to tightly embrace him and cried out loudly. She was under the impression that since she was about to be imprisoned for 15 years, and that since Xioi had been expelled from XO clan, she would never again see him until at least 15 years. She didn't expect him to suddenly appear before her eyes as if he was just an illusion. Xoli walked over and across his entire face was an emotionally stirred up expression. Chair, how how are you here? Did the XO clan allow you to return? Xioi shook his head and patted Xio Linkxy on the back. I secretly snuck back, but rest assured grandfather, something major has happened in Xio clan, so everyone had all been called to return. No one will discover me. Xoli nodded. He didn't even bother to ask what was happening to Xio clan. He had intellially given up on the Xyro clan, so even if the Xyro clan was being wiped out, there wouldn't be a major change in his expression. There were many caves in Reflection Gorge that were either deep or shallow. The decoration inside was extremely simple, and only a few cold stone tables could be seen with just a glance. Xolo Linkxy's cry went into a state of chaos. Xioi didn't stop her from continuous cry. He wanted her to release all her grievances, fears, anxiousness, and hesitation to her heart's content. Otherwise, she may possibly fall into depression since she had stayed in here for quite a long time. After all, she was still only a small 15-year-old girl. When Zyol Linksy finally stopped, she had wept so hard that she was almost on the verge of fainting. Xyrochi sat facing Xyro lie in front of the stone table. next to him. Xio Lynxy's hands both held tightly and clung onto his arms as her small head leaned against his shoulder. She didn't care that Xoli was also next to them and wasn't willing to loosen her grip as if afraid that he would yet again disappear from her world. After you've been imprisoned in here, did they do anything to you guys? Xioi anxiously asked. Xoli shook his head and comfortably laughed. Be at ease. The frozen cloud Asgard's Chu Fairy hinted that she would protect us to the Xyro sect before she had departed. With the backing of this powerful force, how could they dare to injure me or Zir? After the Xyro sect members leave, they would even more not dare to. After all, I do have the reputation of being floating Cloud City's number one expert here. He That's good. Xioi nodded as his heart felt a bit more grateful to Ziaingu<unk>s master. Zia Kingu is a good wife. to the very end. She did not tear up the marriage certificate. Xoli said with a somewhat melancholy expression. Xioi silently nodded his head. A period of sudden silence descended upon the three. After going through the calamities that had came today, their fate had undoubtedly turned upside down. Although they had a thousand words to say in their hearts, they didn't exactly know where to start. Grandfather, I want to know. You want to ask who your biological parents were, right? Xoli said as he immediately continued the sentence with a tranquil expression on his face. N Xioi nodded as his eyes solidly concentrated at Xoli. I believe I wasn't randomly picked up without good cause. Grandfather, you do know something, right? Xolini also raised her eyes as she stared in astonishment at Xoli. Xoli silently watched Xiochi for a long time until he lightly sighed and slowly closed his eyes. I had originally thought that this secret would stay in my heart for an entire lifetime and that a second person would never know of it. Now that Xio clan cannot tolerate you and that you have already grown up, knowing this could be considered a good thing. Finding one's original roots is also the role of the offspring. Your biological father, his surname is Yan. Yan Xioi was stunned. In the Azure cloud continent, the surname his master had given him was also Yan. This was a truly strange coincidence. Aside from your biological father's surname is Yan, I do not have any other information. For example, I have no idea what his name was or where he came from. Xio Ying met your father during the days he traveled throughout the Blue Wind Empire. That year, your father had saved Xio Ying<unk>s life when he was being attacked by a strong, profound beast. Later on, the two started to travel together and after finding out that they were compatible, became sworn brothers. Right before they went their separate ways, Xoli slowly raised his head as if he was reminiscing about the past and fondly said, "After Xio Ying came back, he described your father to me and kept on praising him, saying that he was not only handsome but was also forthright and uninhibited. Furthermore, he had an incomparable and astonishing talent and was truly an exceptionally unmatched man." At that time, Xio Ying<unk>s talent could be said to be matchless in Floating Cloud City when he frankly admitted that his talent weren't worth mentioning when compared with your fathers. I didn't believe that, so I asked him which realm he had reached. But Xio Ying just smiled and stayed silent about it. He said that I wouldn't believe him even if he told me. No one knows my son's personality better than myself. He would never say a lie. At that time, your father was confirmed to be an exceptional talent. At a young age, his profound strength had already reached an astonishing level. You can clearly see his magnanmity and bearing when such an exceptional talent was willing to become sworn brothers with Xio Ying, who was beneath him in profound strength. That was why it was not surprising that Xio Ying kept praising your father and was so honored to have become sworn brothers with him. After that, Xio Ying got married and had a child. And 2 months after the child was born, he saw your father again together with your mother. Xoli's emotions had now significantly changed. Xioi held back his breath and continued to listen silently. But at that time, both your father and mother were completely drenched in blood, and in their hands was you, who was also drenched in blood. You were only about 2 months old as well at that time, unconscious in your mother's embrace. When Xio Ying stopped them and brought them to a secret location, their bodies were entirely covered with wounds and all their profound strength had been depleted. They stayed only for a while before insisting on leaving because the people chasing after their lives were too powerful. So powerful that even the entire floating cloud city could not possibly contend against. If they stayed, they will only implicate Xyro Ying with a burden. Xio Ying couldn't stop them from leaving, and he knew he had no capability to fight against the enemies that even your parents could not handle. At that time, he saw an inflexible and stubborn will in your parents' eyes. Obviously, your parents has exhausted all their energy trying to escape, and they already had no hope of running from the people that were after them. Therefore, Xio Ying used the excuse of carrying you and secretly swapped his own son, my grandson, into your bloodied blankets and hid you within his son's blanket. Xyrochi's gaze suddenly shuddered while Xio Linksy gave a small awe cry. At that time, your parents were in a hurry to leave. So, after taking back the protected baby from Xio Ying, when would they have the time to check if it was actually their son? After your parents had left, Xio Ying found me, knelt down in front of me, and begged me for forgiveness. He said he was still young, so even if he lost a son, he could still give birth to many more. However, if you had died, his brother, who is also your father, will completely lose his bloodline. If that happened, no one would be able to avenge him. Even though the pain in my heart was like being pierced by a thousand arrows at that time, however, facing such an affectionate and righteous son, how could I bear to blame him? Other than us, father and son, no one else knew that my grandson had been swapped with you. At that time, the two months old you had already suffered bodily damage and finally recovered after half a month. The reason why your profound vein ended up being deformed was also clearly due to the damages you had taken. In the middle of that level of aggression, it was fortunate that only your profound veins had been damaged and not your life. Xoli's voice faintly paused. He tried his best not to show any signs of pain as he clenched his hands and continued. Not half a month after that, Xio Ying was assassinated and the veins in his entire body had been shattered. When I had heard about it and rushed there with his last breath, he told me that the person who had assassinated him was the very one who was also after your parents at that time. He didn't know where the person had gotten information about him, offering shelter to a young couple who carried a baby and were covered in blood. The person that had assassinated him went there to try to force him into revealing where your parents had escaped too. Before taking his last breath, Xio Ying was actually smiling because the words that the person who assassinated him had said proved that he had not found your parents yet, which meant that they could possibly still be alive. Xioi heart started to stir like a huge overflowing unquenchable wave that was unable to be suppressed. Looking at Xoli's white hair, he felt an sour and immeasurable crack in his heart. No one was aware of his deep sorrow of losing his son and his daughter-in-law. He had even lost his only grandson, the last of his bloodline, long ago. At the knee was another's child who was exchanged with the life of his grandson. No wonder he had white hair when he was still in his middle ages, under wave and wave of emotional setbacks. If an ordinary person took his place, not only would white hair appear, but perhaps he would have already collapsed long ago. Xioi had only discovered the sorrowful truth today. That the source who had brought all these troubles was unexpectedly he himself. If the real Xyrochi's life wasn't used in exchange for his own, why would Xyro Ying get assassinated? How would Xyro Ying<unk>s wife have followed her love? How would Xyro's wife then die of depression? How would Xyro Ying<unk>s son be laughed at as if he was a failure? Their entire family could have been safe and secured, could have lived happily and peacefully with Xyro Ying unrivaled talent in Floating Cloud City and his father's incomparable power and prestige in Floating Cloud City. His position in the Xyro clan would have been extremely high. Perhaps he would have been the master of the Xyro clan by now. Xoli wouldn't have to suffer from other people's superilious looks and instead be in a superior position. Not only would the four elders not humiliate him, if they faced him, they would probably be as timid as a rat. Xio Ying had used his son's life to save him. While he let himself and his entire family suffer a cruel fate. However, these past 16 years, Xoli had never released any anger or hatred on him, the main offender. but instead he protected and kept him safe without a word. He gave him unconditional love. Even after knowing that his profound veins were disabled, and even knowing that he would be a useless good for nothing for the rest of his life, he still loved him like usual. Perhaps that was common for a grandfather to treat his own grandson like this. However, to treat another person's child like this, especially the one who had caused the ruin of his family, would demand an extremely large heart and open-mindedness. Xio cheese in her heart trembled and his nose soured like father like son. Being such a great man, it was no wonder he had such a righteous son like Xio Ying. He could never repay this debt that he and his parents had owed them during his entire lifetime. Xiochi placed both of his hands on the side of the stone table as his fingers gripped it more and more tightly. Seeing the sorrowful eyes of Xio lie in front of him, for a moment, he didn't know how to thank this person he had called grandfather all these years. After a while, he finally said with a trembling voice, "Grandfather, I I your affection and kindness for my entire life. I will always will always." "He he Xoli gently chuckled and affectionately replied,"Chair, I have looked after you since a young age. Even if you're not one of my own since long ago, you were no different from my biological grandson in my heart. You also had said that even if we weren't related by blood, we would still eternally be like family. Since we're family, all these that had happened ought to have happened. I have no need for your gratitude or repayment. As long as you are safe and sound from now on, even if I were to be locked in here my entire life, I would still be free of worries. Xioi closed his mouth as his words of gratitude could no longer be spoken, and after a while, he then heavily nodded. That's right. He's my grandfather now and will be forever. While he's still around, I need to be filial to him. When he's not around, I'll mourn for him and do whatever a grandson ought to do. As he watched him, Xoli gratifyingly nodded his head and continued, "You must want to know more about what had happened that time." However, Xio Ying didn't say much about your parents. As for why they were being hunted, Xio Ying only told me that it was because they had one of the heavenly profound treasure on them. He even informed me that three words, heavenly profound treasure, were a grave taboo and must never be said in the presence of outsiders. Heavenly profound treasure. Xiochi firmly beared this name in mind. From the time after your parents had left, I've never received any information from them these past 16 years. I once thought that if they were still alive, they would have found out that the baby they carried away wasn't their own son and would come back here to exchange the child they had when it was safe. I waited a year after a year, but they never came back. But this doesn't prove that they're not in this world anymore. Since you were a young child, I've always told you to never remove that pendant from your neck. That was because when Xio Ying swapped you with his own son, it was the only thing on your body. If your parents are still alive, perhaps it may possibly become an opportunity and help you guys recognize each other. Indeed, if they were still alive, they would have come back to floating Cloud City already and exchanged their child. However, they had not come back for an entire 16 years. So, the probability of them still being in this world was fundamentally uncertain. If they were actually still in this world, then was Xio Ying<unk>s child from that time still alive? As night darkened, the time for the star concealing grass to lose its effectiveness gradually approached, and it was about time for Xioi to leave. Grandfather, little ant, I should go now. Although he was reluctant to part, he had no option but to say this difficult sentence that he didn't want to say. Xyroi nodded his head and took a look outside. You must quickly leave this place. If you were to be discovered, it would become even more troublesome. Ah, you you're leaving. As fast as lightning, Xolo Linkxy raised her head up and grabbed him tightly with both her hands as he felt the reluctance in Xolin's gaze. Xio's heart felt bitter. He really wished he could take Xio Li and Xoliny away with him. However, with his current condition, what right did he have to take them with him? Even if they did leave, what was he supposed to use to protect them in the outside world? It would instead be them protecting him. He stood up and took a hold of Xio Lynxy's hands. He looked into her eyes and stated word for word, "Little aunt, I have to go. However, you need not worry. I will return. Within 3 years, I will be back. By that time, I'll take the injustice and pain you two suffered and return it to them a thousandfold. I'll make the entire Xyro clan kneel and beg you two to leave this reflection gorge. Xioi said every individual word with resolute determination. He wasn't trying to comfort Zo lie and Xio Lynxy, nor was he joking around. It was rather an absolute decisiveness which simultaneously also compelled him to accomplish that decision no matter what. His words stumped Xoli and Xoliny for a long time. However, immediately after that, Xoliny shook her head and her misty eyes tearfully looked at him. Little Chi, you don't have to do that. I only want you to live normally and peacefully. It's all right as long as you only protect yourself. When the day of my release comes, I will definitely come find you. However, by all means, you must not do such a foolish thing or anything dangerous. In her eyes, he was still the boy that needed her protection after listening to his declaration. The fact that the thought existed in his mind was already sufficient. How could it be possible that she was willing to let him risk his life to any kind of danger for them? Don't worry. Of course, I'll protect myself. Well, Xioi smiled as he looked at her. Because grandfather and little aunt are here waiting for me because I haven't fulfilled the promise that I made to little aunt. Promise? Xolin's bright eyes swayed slightly as she stared at him in wonder. Xioi didn't explain and walked in front of Xoli. He knelt down on both of his knees and cowtowed heavily. Grandfather, I am the grandson of you, Xoli, and had been under your protection for 16 years. But now it's time for me to spread my wings and soar. You are a great grandfather, so your grandson will not continue to embarrass you by staying a trash forever. Wait for me. I will be back. Before my return, you must take care of yourself. Good. Good. Xyroi slowly nodded his head as his voice trembled and tears appeared in both of his eyes. He went forward to help Zyro Chi up. Took a wooden tablet with a hanging white tassel from his body and placed it in Zyrochi's hand chair. The Xyro clan had expelled you and there's no place for you in floating cloud city. Your profound veins have been disabled and you have never stepped out of floating cloud city in your entire life. Although I'm extremely worried, the look in your eyes allows me feel at ease and relieved. If you don't have a set destination to go to, then take this tablet and go to a city called New Moon and ask around for a person called Sikong Han. Sikong Han came to floating cloud city a few years ago and due to a certain situation, he became indebted to me and thus gave me this tablet. Once you find him in New Moon City, pass this tablet to him for a look and tell him that you are my grandson. Perhaps he may arrange a place for you to stay. Even after saying he was at ease and relieved, there was no way he could hide his worry and concern in his gaze and expressions. This grandson that had almost no profound strength or experience outside floating Cloud City could only stay outside from now on with no one to rely on. How could he even be at ease? How could he not be heartbroken? Zyrochi grasped the old wooden tablet in the middle of his hand and nodded fiercely. Afterwards, he said, "Before I leave, I first want to go pay my respects to Uncle Xyro." N Xoli nodded his head, pleased, "Little Chi." The moment Xioi turned his body, Xoliny once again grabbed onto him tightly with both of her hands. Her gaze full of reluctance to let go, had nearly and completely melted Xioi's heart. He earned so much for him to be able to bring Xyro Linky and Xyro Lie away. But even just having a heart full of intention and impulse, he didn't have the ability nor the qualifications to do that. At least in this dark place without daylight, they were still considered to be safe. Little aunt. Zyrochi lightly held Xyro Lynxy's hand and looked at her gently. I can't bear to leave you even more than how little aunt can't bear to leave me. So I will come back within the shortest period of time. I swear I will fulfill what I said that night. The promise I made to little aunt. Xolo Linkxy slowly soften her grip while Xioi's hands were was holding Xolo Lynxy soften as well. Then he turned his body and walked forward with slow footsteps, never turning back. It was because he was afraid that once he turned back, he would be unable to leave. And he was even more afraid that once he turned back, they would see the two streams of uncontrollable tears that flowed out the moment he had turned his body. Grandfather, little aunt, within 3 years, I'll definitely return. Wait for me. Wait for me. Promise. promise. Xio Linkxy looked at Xiochi's silhouette that was getting further and further away with blurry eyes, absent-mindedly, murmuring that in her heart. Suddenly, what he said on that night reverberated inside her heart. If you weren't my little aunt, I'll definitely marry you. All of a sudden, Xio Linksy covered her mouth and in a split second tried her best to hold back all her tears that were crazily gushing out like that of a flood. Zyro Clan Cemetery. Standing in front of Xio Ying<unk>s grave, Xioi's gaze was fixated on that old slab of gravestone for a long time. Then he knelt down on both knees and Kao three times, his eyes filling with determination when he was finished. Uncle Xio, this huge favor you have done for my young family, I Yani will never forget it. If the day comes when I find out that my parents are still alive, I will try my best to find them. And also the baby they had carried away at that time, your son. On the day when I finally obtained power, I will find the person that assassinated you that day and take revenge for you and for grandfather. Xioi swore an oath in front of Xio Ying<unk>s grave and took another bow after getting up before leaving with heavy footsteps. From now on, I'm not Xiochi anymore. My name's Yani. News of Xio Yulong<unk>s torture shook the entire XO clan and caused unrest in Xyro clan for the rest of the night. Xio Yunhai fainted for quite a long time after his fury dealt a blow to his heart. And after waking up like a madman, he ordered the entire clan to find the culprit. However, after searching for an entire night, not even a silhouette or a trace of the culprit could be found. The best explanation would be that it was the doing of someone within the Xio clan. Xyroangjian was also furious at this matter, but he only got angry for a while because he only felt the great pity of losing an obedient and capable slave. He could get that kind of slave anywhere he wanted. However, now he couldn't bring back Xio Yulong, who currently resembled neither human nor ghost. So, thus, his choice naturally fell on the person who was second to Xio Yulong in yesterday's evaluation. Third, Elder X's youngest grandson, Xio Cheng. If this happened, Zyro Z and Xyro Chengai would undoubtedly be overjoyed. However, the gaze of everyone in the clan had towards Xyro Z changed, especially Xyro Yunhai and Xyro Lee. When looking at Xyro Z, murderous intent could be seen hidden deep in their eyes. If it really was a Zyro clan member who had crippled Xyro Yulong, then Xyro Z would be under the greatest of suspicions. However, this was apparently none of Xyro Quangian's concern. In the afternoon, sent off by all nobles of floating cloud city, the four people of the Xyro sect took Zyro Chengai along with them to leave Floating Cloud City and set foot on the road to Xyro sect. Actually, with Xyrocts capabilities, it was extremely easy for them to send a few flying profound beasts. However, this time, under the Xyro sect master's orders, they were forbidden to use any flying profound beasts in order for Xyroang to gain experience. After Xioangjian had left, Chu Yuili also prepared to bring Zia Kingu back to frozen Cloud Asgard. Master. After bidding farewell to her father and brother, Zia Kingu returned to Chu Yuelli's side. Chu Yuili turned her around, her snowy face incomparably cool and elegant. The distance between frozen Cloud Asgard and here is quite far. After you return to Frozen Cloud Asgard, you may not know when you would have the opportunity to return. Don't leave any unfinished business that you may care about. Rest assured, Master Kingu has already and completely made the appropriate preparations so I may follow Master and depart at any possible time. Although Father is reluctant about parting, he has always been deeply grateful about Kingu entering frozen cloud Asgard. Chu Yuili nodded. If that's the case, we can start our journey right now. My lady had always wanted to meet you for many years, ever since I have mentioned you to her. I believe that if she sees you, she would definitely like you. Father has already helped us prepare profound horses. I request master to walk towards the foyer. Zia Kingu respectfully said, "No need." Chu Yuili shook her head and said, "Profound horses are too slow. I'll take you back using the profound floating technique. Also, you should take care to sense the changes in my body's profound energy in the middle of my technique. It will benefit your profound strength greatly in the future. Let us depart. Give me your hand. Zia Kingu held out her delicately white right hand without hesitation. It was obvious that Chu Uli's profound floating technique would speedily bring her up high into the sky. This thought had let a bit of excitement and expectation rise in her heart. Chu Yuili somewhat extended her ice cold hand to grasp onto Ziaingu. In a flash, the coldness on her body shifted and the formidable frozen cloud arts started to rapidly swirl. But then Chu Uli's entire body suddenly began to shake. The recently activated frozen cloud arts had also all of a sudden disappeared without a trace. She turned her body towards Zia Kingu, her beautiful unwavering gaze fixed onto Ziaingu. It was clear that there was a certain kind of extreme astonishment in her eyes, as if there was an inconceivable worldly matter. "Master, what's wrong?" Zia Kingu asked, alarmed because of Chu Uli's frightening and unexpected reaction. Impossible? This is absolutely impossible. Chu Yuelli absent-mindedly siloquised as she suddenly extended her other hand. After both, her hands grabbed onto Ziaingu<unk>s right wrist as the coldness on her body spread out. Chu Yuili<unk>s beautiful eyes then widened yet again as her entire body fiercely trembled more than before. On her face rested an expression of complete speechlessness and incredulous astonishment and ecstasy. She firmly snatched Ziaingu<unk>s hand as she looked her in the eye and actually became temporarily speechless due to her intensely stirred up emotions. Her expression let Ziaingu become more and more alarmed. Master wh the heck's going on? Chu Yuili was suddenly aware of her heart's frantic throbbing that she was unable to alleviate and stop. When practicing the frozen cloud arts, one's frame of mind would lean bit by bit towards an ice cold and silent state. It was extremely difficult to be swayed and risen up with only momentum. It was not known for how many years had her emotions been this out of control. Inform this master. What exactly have you encountered during this period of time? Did you come across an extraordinary person or did consume some kind of pill that's against the gods? I Zia Kingu momentarily stared for a while. Altogether, a person can only have a total of 54 profound entrances. An ordinary person is gifted with approximately 10 inborn profound entrances, while a person with high innate talent may be gifted with around 15 profound entrances. When I first found you, I discovered that you had 21 naturally opened profound entrances. An exceptionally great gift only seen once in a million. If one has more profound entrances opened, their cultivation of the profound and their activation speed will increase. No matter what, a practitioner with 20 open profound entrances would undoubtedly cultivate and activate their profound strength twice as fast as a practitioner born with only 10 open profound entrances. It is extremely difficult to open a profound entrance. For it even took Malayia a centuries worth of time to merely open seven profound entrances and achieve the opening of 30 profound entrances. In the entire Blue Wind Empire, the people who have achieved the supreme state of opening of 30 profound entrances could not possibly surpass five. The reason why the profound opening powder, the gift Zoho sect gave to Xyro clan, could speed up the cultivation process is due to it being able to temporarily open three to four profound entrances for a short period of time. However, that is merely a temporary effect. Even so, the profound opening powder is still a considerably precious medicine to Xio sect. Yet, King Yuor Chu Yuelli forcefully grabbed onto Ziaingu<unk>s shoulders as her beautiful eyes unblinkingly stared at her. 54 profound entrances have all been completely opened and they all actually have been permanently opened. Do you understand what this implies? This means that the speed of your profound cultivation and activation would be almost double that of malades. It would also be quintupily faster than that of an ordinary person's. Not only that, the cultivation of any profound skill you practice in would be limitless. Whenever your profound strength makes a breakthrough, it shall never hit a bottleneck. When all the profound veins in the 54 profound entrances have been completely opened, they are what legends refer to as the heavenly gods spiritual veins. And it is said that only a god from the legends would possess these profound veins. This has never happened before in the entire history of the blue wind empire. Kingu, in this period of time, what exactly have you gone through? Chu Uli's words stupified Zia Kingu. Of course, Chu Uli knew of the profound veins 54 profound entrances. It was common knowledge amongst the profound practitioners. She understood the concept of fully opening the profound entrances. But it was only plausible in theory as no one had ever heard of anyone achieving such a state. It has been said that only the ancient gods were capable of having heavenly gods spiritual veins. It was simply an extravagant expectation that humanity could never obtain. Ever since Xioi's acupuncture treatment, Zia Kingu felt that her spiritual and physical state had improved tremendously. The channeling of her profound strength had become very smooth. The flow of her profound strength had also been completely unobstructed. These changes occasionally came with a this body cannot actually be mine sort of feeling. Having recalled what Chuelli had told her about the heavenly gods spiritual veins, Zia Kingu went into a state of shock. The 54 profound entrances were fully opened. Heavenly gods spiritual veins. How could this be possible? How was this possible? But as one of the frozen clouds, seven fairies, why would Chu Yuelli speak an untruth? Given her level of training in the seventh level of the sky profound realm, how could she not sense the state of Ziaingu's profound vein? As a frozen cloud fairy, Chu Yuelli had long since sealed away her emotions. But at this moment, she couldn't help but show genuine excitement on her face. But how could I? Could it be B? In Zia Kingyu<unk>s mind, she saw Xioi's figure. She remembered the mornings they spent together as he treated her with those silver needles. She remembered the reasons he gave her for the treatment to disperse the cold and to clear the meridians. She remembered how Xioi would be completely exhausted after each treatment. She recalled every one of the silver needles that pricricked her body. There were a total of 54. It was the same as the number of profound entrances. Could it really have been him? No, it could only have been him. Aside from him, there were no others who have touched her body. And because of his treatment, her body had shown such an enormous change. But he was only a member of the Xyro clan, not to mention a person with a damaged, profound vein. How was it possible that he had such an ability? It could be seen that Zia Kingu did not have an immediate answer because her eyes were full of uncertainty and complex emotions. Chu Yuili extremely positive that in the short span of a few days, Zia Kingu must have went through an incredible experience. She quickly asked, "King Yu quickly tell me who or what allowed you to clear all your profound vain entrances." It it was a person only. I didn't think he went so far. A person. Chuelli was filled with shock. What was this senior called? Or what did he look like? With such godly abilities, it would be impossible for no one to have not heard of him. An ability that can shock all those under the heavens. These words used to describe the man with the ability to completely open the profound entrances was definitely not an exaggeration. If I told you I'm an exceptionally skilled spirit doctor, would you believe me? The words that she once ignored were now beginning to occupy her thoughts. Only her feelings right now was earthshattering different than of that time before. At the same time, she recalled that after Yani's third treatment, he breathlessly told her, "King, you, my wife, if one day your master discovers your changes, definitely do not tell her it was from my treatment, unless you want to become a widow." One person who in a short time can complete open the profound for another. If someone with his capabilities were to have his name spread far and wide, one can imagine the uproar and danger that would follow from those who would at any cost seek out this power for themselves. He said he was a spirit doctor. Ziaingu had on a complicated look. Only he did not permit me to tell anyone else anything about him. I beg your forgiveness, master. Hearing Zia King<unk>s plea, Chu Yuili became quite disappointed, but she did not press further and only gave a nod. To have such an ability that could even oppose the gods, he must be a saint with the power to transcend the mundane world. Let's not question something we have no hopes of understanding. Within the Blue Wind Empire, I am acquainted with a doctor who is not only very skilled, but also has the ability to open three of the profound entrances. He became known as Blue Winds number one doctor. But when compared to the man who can fully open the profound entrances, Blue Winds number one doctor isn't even fit to be the dirt at his feet. Hidden experts like the one that treated you typically try to avoid the public eye. You received his gift and thus you should protect his secret. Kingu silently nodded in her heart. Those days, each morning he treated me while exhausting his own profound energy, claiming to disperse the cold air and clear the meridians were only a cover. His true intentions were to completely open her profound entrances. Kingu finally realized Yani's intentions after listening to Chu Ullei. And the ability that could even oppose the gods, her master said, were actually all done using merely a few silver needles. What exactly was he? Chu Yuili had a very pleasant smile on her face. The way she looked at Ziaingu has also changed. The way she looked at King Yu was many times more passionate than before. Solemnly, Chu Yuelli said, "When we return to the frozen Asgard palace, I will definitely report this to my lady. I believe the lady will be very pleased and even accept you as her personal disciple. You will have access to all the resources within the entire Asgard. Given your current level of profound training, even if you only put in the minimal amount of effort, you will still become one of the greatest geniuses within Frozen Cloud Asgard. In the next Blue Wind Ranking tournament, you will inevitably become famous, and your name shall be known throughout the Empire. Perhaps because of you, we may finally break away from the faded suppression that lasted several hundred of years under the Heavenly Sword Villa. Our name would then be number one throughout the Blue Wind Empire. I will definitely work hard and not disappoint, master. Zia Kingu nodded slightly as mixed emotions ran through her head. Oh, right, Kingu. Since that senior gave you such a great gift, he must favor you quite a bit. Did he leave you anything or tell you how you can find him? Chu Yuelli asked with hope. Even if she were 10,000 times smarter, she wouldn't be able to guess that this senior was even associated with the useless trash in everyone's eyes. Yanqi, no. King shook her head. Sai got a little too greedy. Chu Yuili tried to pay it no heed and smiled, but then was overcome with a sense of disappointment. However, should this skilled individual visit frozen cloud asgard, even if only to grant us a tip or two, it would definitely be immensely beneficial to our Asgard. Then, Ziaingu suddenly recalled something in her heart. After some hesitation, Kingu said, "Master, at that time, he mentioned he was looking for three things. seven profound gem grass, a purple veined heaven crystal, and lastly, an earth profound realm beasts core. If if we can find those three things for him, then perhaps he may visit the frozen cloud asgard and express his gratitude to us. Zia Kingu was not very good at lying. And when she said those lies, she did not even dare to look Chu Uili in the eyes. Purple veained heaven crystal, seven profound gem grass, and an earth profound realm beasts core. Chu Uili muttered the names of these three items in a low voice and memorized the names in her heart. Although these items are extremely difficult to obtain given the power of our frozen cloud Asgard, it would not be impossible. I will discuss this matter with my lady and she will decide on how to handle it. Kingu, let us go now. The lady and the other members of our sect will never expect the surprise I am bringing to them. Chu Yuelli held on to Zia Kingu and took her into the sky. In an instant, they reached hundreds of meters, turned into two streams of fantasmal trails, and headed northwest. This was Zia Kingyu<unk>s first time flying through the air. Although it should have been a very exciting experience, her turbulent heart was preoccupied by something else. They soon passed the limits of floating cloud city. Zakinu glanced back and tears formed in her eyes as the city grew distant. The restlessness in her heart could not be calmed. In the end, what kind of person are you in this world? who can truly understand you. You've done me such a huge favor just so that I won't be able to forget you. From now on, every time I train in the profound, I will surely think about you. You were banished from your clan. But where did you go? Where are you now? Can you, my wife, are you asleep? Wow. Wow. King you, my wife, did you become even more beautiful today? Men always say their wives grow more beautiful by the day. And it was actually true. Sniff, sniff. King, you my wife, did you stealthily go pick jasmine flowers in the morning? If not, how can you be so fragrant? Could this be the legendary female body fragrance? King, you my wife. After the month is over and you depart for the frozen cloud, Asgard, we probably won't have another opportunity to see one another. When you're away, will you occasionally think about me? King, you my wife. That was how he would always call her. He addressed her like that at every given opportunity. She slowly became accustomed to that title from now on. She knew she would never again hear someone mention that title when referring to her. The thought caused her heart to tighten. As she thought about it, her heart continued to ache. King Yu, what's wrong? Why has your heartbeat become erratic? Chu Yuili glanced at her from the side. Zia Kingu gently shook her head. I'm fine, just a little homesick. Chu Yuelli did not grasp the true meaning behind what Zia Kingu meant when she said home. Chu Yuelli said with relief, "When a girl leaves her home for the first time, it is only normal to be sentimental. But the day your profound training reaches the sky profound realm, traveling vast distances will become a simple matter. When that moment comes, it will be easier for you to return when you miss home. When Zia Kingu mentioned home, Chu Yuelli naturally thought of one person. She casually said, "Your younger brother, I remember his name. Zia Yuan. Yesterday I took the opportunity to check his profound vein. He was naturally born with nine profound entrances. Although his talent is mediocre, his profound veins are a whole two times thicker than that of a normal person's. It was the first time I have ever seen anything like it. Perhaps that is one of the reasons why your brother is so burly. I will try to find more information regarding his condition once we return. I thank master for the consideration, Zia Kingu said gently. Her eyes shifted towards the direction of her home, and she gently murmured. After I'm gone, Yuanba will also head toward New Moon City by himself and enter the New Moon Profound Palace. I hope he won't get bullied and always live in peace. Cyan Forest Town was located nearly 200 km west of floating Cloud City. Although it was located on a remote piece of land, there were quite a number of residents and occasionally travelers would pass by. This place could be considered a necessary route when traveling from Floating Cloud City to New Moon City. The scorching sun and the ground covered in cracks because of its rays made people feel more agitated than usual. At this time, a group of six people appeared on the streets in town. The first and leading one had a big and intimidating build carried in 1 and 1/2 m long bronze machete. His facial features were demonic, and his eyes emitted maliciousness. The ones behind him both wore jackets made of animal skin, wielding swords, knives, maces, and various weapons. Their appearance immediately tensed up the atmosphere on the street. Passerbys all quickly moved to the side of the street. Their footsteps also became very cautious as their faces contorted with fear. Only until these six people entered a small inn in town were they finally able to feel relieved and left hastily. Bang! The bulky man wearing silver armor slammed the huge machete that was almost as tall as a grown man into the biggest table at the center of the inn and roared. This table belongs to this granddaddy now. Scram if you don't want to die. The four people who were enjoying their drinks were just about to express the rage. However, their complexions quickly changed when they saw the bulky man's face. They didn't dare to even mutter a word as they left the table obediently. The man then stretched out his thick arm and swept the table, then lowly roared in the deafening sound of shattering table wear. Bring out all the best dishes you have in this inn. The inkeeper was already there to greet them. As he looked at the remains of broken plates and glass, he felt as if his heart was bleeding. However, he forcefully smiled on the surface and said, "Silver, Silver Dragon's young masters, please rest a while. Drinks and foods will come soon, very soon." Though six people belong to San Forest Town's infamous Silver Dragon mercenary group, and the bulky man wielding the huge machete was the head, Yin Long, who dubbed himself as the Silver Dragon. At the age of a little over 40, his profound strength actually reached the second level of the true profound realm. Compared to cyan forest town, where even one at the fourth level of the naent profound realm would be considered strong, he was unquestionably an uncsurmountable existence here. Because of this, the silver dragon mercenary group became the strongest mercenary group in San Forest Town and acted as if laws doesn't exist with no one daring to provoke them. TL Yin Long sounds the same as Silver Dragon phonetically. After the group of six sat down, the five other mercenary members then started to spew out all sorts of flattery. The six's sound of speaking, laughing, and cursing filled the entire inn. They had gotten used to this kind of lawless conduct a long time ago. The surrounding customers became more afraid due to Silver Dragon's tyranny, and no one dared to speak more than the bare necessity. At this time, another group of five appeared at the indoor. At a glance, the leader of the group was a young man who appeared to be a little over 20, had a mediocre body figure and a plain looking face. However, inconsistent with his features, his apparel was nevertheless incomparably extravagant, and anyone in the town would lock onto his clothes for quite a while with envious eyes of thirst that were incapable of moving away. He stood in front of the inn for a while. His eyes swept over the people in the inn with an extraordinarily arrogant gaze, as if he was looking at lesser animals that didn't even deserve to be paid attention to. Right after his brows slanted, and he coldly snorted from behind him, a handsome youth that only looked 17 or 18 hurriedly came up, bowed before him, and smiled with an apologetic overtone. Young Master Xio, all ins are like this in remote lands. It is probably not possible to find any decent ones within 50 km. Please bear with it a little. Those five people, as expected, were Xyro Quangian, Xyro Mashan, Xyroba, Xyro Ju, and Xyro Chengai, who was brought out of Zyro clan. They were on their way back to Xyro sect from floating cloud city. Xyro Cheng Xi was exhilarated the whole trip. And when he thought of how he had almost arrived at the Xyro sect, he ended up laughing even in his sleep. In front of Xyouang, he bended over to fawn and to curry favor. He didn't dare to make the slightest slip against him. If he could satisfactorily serve this Zia's young master and get a good word from him at a later date, he should be able to live as he wants, even in the Xio sect. HMPH. Xio Quanjian snorted from his nose, took another uninterested glance around, and walked inside. Xio Cheng hurriedly rushed ahead and occupied the table at the best location, squatted down, and cleaned the wooden chair with his sleeves. He then looked at Xioangjian with agilation and shouted, "Owner immediately served the dishes. Select the best ones you have." Xioangjians group had just came in and they were already targeted by the gazes of the six from Silver Dragon mercenary group. One of them laughed with disdain. Ha! That little brat is acting quite wild. Look at that expression he had when he saw us. Tusk Tusk. It's probably some rich family's young master who's sightseeing on a vacation. Just look at that succulent skin and flesh. It feels like water could leak out if you just squeeze them a little. But he actually dares to mess around in our turf. Does he not know how the word death is written? Boss, do you want me to go up and teach them whose turf they're in? Who cares which family's young master he is within the territory of silver dragon mercenary group? Everyone will need to be obedient to us. P a Yin Long slammed the chicken leg he was eating with immense force and lifted the huge machete near his feet in one go. Let this daddy here personally go greet them. I've taken a liking to the clothes he's wearing. If I brought them back to my son, he would definitely be very delighted. Haha. After he said that, he carried his machete and blatantly walked towards Xioangjian<unk>s table, smashed the table with his machete from three steps away and said with an acrimonious tone, "Brat, seems like your clothes are pretty neat. However, looking at your shameful figure, it's such a waste that they're being worn by you. Take them off immediately, strip. Take them off now. You heard me. If you don't want to strip, we'll help you take them off. If our boss strips you personally later, it won't be that gentle anymore." A h a h a h ah a the silver dragon mercenary group's fotters continued to jeer the people in the inn all moved away from them and looked at Zyro Quangians group with pity the inkeeper and attendant hid even further away and didn't dare to come up and dissuade them but contrary to the expectations of everyone there when facing the notorious silver dragon mercenary groups table of people seemed extraordinarily calm to the point of being eerie Zyro Quangjian reached out his hand, wiped his clothes that got tainted with wine with disgust, and coldly spoke. "Dispose them all." "Nispose! What did he just say?" he said to dispose us all. "Haha! Ah!" The mocking sound of the silver dragon mercenary group immediately turned into ears spplitting screams of agony. Xio Ba's figure rushed out like a bolt of lightning and blasted three of the noisiest flying. It was followed by the catcha sound of bones breaking. Yin Long<unk>s barbaric smile disappeared. He jumped back a step and revealed a terrified expression. Spirit, spirit, profound realm. When the words spirit profound re came out, it was as if a bomb went off inside the inn. Everyone was shaken and rendered speechless. Only sects and major cities would have these kind of superbly powerful beings. And in this tiny cyan forest town, it was a level that no one had ever seen in their entire lives that only existed in their wildest dreams. Just as Yin Long finished speaking, the other two mercenary followers were blown over 10 meters away by Xio Ba with the swing of a palm and fell unconsciously on the ground. Yin Long<unk>s entire body began to tremble, then fell to the ground on his knees and prostrated excessively. SSO, sorry, my eyes have failed to see. I was unable to recognize great beings such as yourself. I I deserve to die. I deserve to die. If he knew the opponent was actually a master that had achieved spirit profound realm, he wouldn't have tried to provoke them even if he were to die. Dispose of him, Zyro Quangji uttered coldly. As the voice faded, Zyro Ba's hand also swept down and shattered both of Yin Long<unk>s arms in midst of his screams of agony. At this time, a youth silhouette appeared at the indoor. When Yani left floating Cloud City, he didn't actually have a destination in mind. Thinking about the wooden tablet he received from Xia Oi, he asked around on the way and intentionally walked toward the direction of New Moon City. He needed to reach a bigger and more populated place so that there would be a higher chance of finding the necessary items to repair his broken profound vein. His constitution was too weak, and since he couldn't bear to spend the little money he had on a horse, he could only travel by foot with a really slow speed. When he arrived at Cyan Forest Town, he was already extremely fatigued and hungry. As he saw the inn on the side of the street, he flipped through what little profound coins he had, made a self-deprecating smile, and headed toward it. Just as he arrived by the door, he heard a scream similar to the slaughtering of a pig. Following the sound, he immediately saw the Xioangjian and Xio Mashan that were sitting together with Xio Chengai standing the side. He immediately stopped on his tracks, rotated his body around, and left hastily. But as he turned his body around, Xioba<unk>s complexion immediately changed when he by chance looked in the direction of the door when he had just shattered Yin Long<unk>s arms. Inkeeper, take these eyes and throw them out. Xioangji uncoldly growled. A group of trash lower than ants dared to actually ruin his interest in having a meal. Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes. The inkeeper's body shook at his growl, continuously nodded with panic, and cautiously started to carry the silver dragon mercenary group members outside together with his attendant. Because Yin Long was at the second level of the true profound realm, there wasn't anyone who dared to offend him in San Forest Town. But even a random servant of this extremely arrogant and cruel youth was at Spirit Profound Realm. How could they possibly dare to even slightly disobey him? Young master Xioba walked to the side of Xioangjian and whispered a few sentences in his ear. N you're talking about the good for nothing that got kicked out of Xio clan. After listening to Xioba<unk>s report, Xioangjian<unk>s eyes narrowed as he sneered. Very good. I almost forgot about the existence of this character, and even the heavens has now presented him to me. Xioba, go and disfigure his face for me. The sect master had said that you shouldn't use the sex authority to oppress others outside. Xio Mashian blandly said, "Hmp, that Zyro clan's waistl actually embarrassed me in public the other day, not parading his corpse down the floating cloud city is already merciful enough. Zyro, after you disfigure his face, cut his tongue out, too. Wasn't he such a good speaker? I'll see how eloquent he is at speaking after that." Xyro Kwanji said in a low voice. That day at Xyro clan, Yani tore apart his scheme in public and slapped every single line he uttered in his face. How could he not bear a grudge in his heart about him wanting to disfigure Yani's face? It was of course out of jealousy. He was even more jealous that this waistl actually married the Zia Kingu that he couldn't even obtain. Xio Mashan didn't speak anymore. Xoba nodded silently, steadily walked out of the inn, and chased in Yani's general direction. Although Cyan Forest Town's shops were few in number, they still had all the necessities. Knitting his brows tightly, Yani hastened his footsteps and soon turned into a pharmacy on the right. Shopkeeper, "Are there any purple lantern flowers and iron sand vines?" Yani said immediately after entering the pharmacy, and at the same time quickly scanned the pharmacy with his eyes. At a glance, the pharmacy shopkeeper looked like a listless and bored middle-aged man. The medicinal herbs Yani asked for were also the most common of medicinal herbs. Purple lantern flowers could dispel colds and iron sand vines could be refined into the lowest grade profound recovery pellet. Both could be found anywhere and were very inexpensive. The shopkeeper feebly responded. There are how much do you want? A quart kilos of each, Yani said with haste. The shopkeeper readily wrapped the medicine and threw it at him. 20 yellow profound coins altogether. Author's note. Profound sky continents currency are split into three different kinds. Yellow profound coin, cyan profound coin, and purple profound coin. One purple profound coin equals 100 cany profound coins equals 10,000 yellow profound coins. Profound coin value reference. Profound Sky Continent's average household's annual income is about 30,000 yellow profound coin or three purple profound coins. Putting the profound coins on the counter, Yani left in a hurry. Without stopping, he headed toward the town's southern exit. Xioba, whom now has discovered his silhouette, didn't hurry to attack, but instead trailed behind him without any expressions on his face. Cyan Forest Towns exit quickly appeared before them. To the south of Cyan Forest Town was a vast vein of mountains, namely the Scarlet Dragon mountain range. These mountains were inhabited by a variety of profound beasts, making it very dangerous. Even the cyan forest towns military unit and practitioners who practiced in the profound, who were known for their strength, only dared to move around in the outermost parts of the mountains. When one goes deeper into the mountains, higherleveled profound beasts would be encountered, and this often ended with narrow escapes. The reason why the mountain was named the scarlet dragon mountain range was because in the center of the mountain vein, there lived an enormous fireb breathing great flame dragon, thus granting it that name. However, that was only in legends, and no one had actually seen it before. Dragons were at the apex of profound beasts. So even the lowest leveled dragons are terrifyingly powerful. And if they really existed, there was no possibility of survival after seeing one. Stepping into Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range, Yani slowly inhaled, hugged the two bags of medicine he'd bought from the pharmacy onto his chest with his right hand, and covered the medicine with his left hand as the sky poison pearls radiance twinkled. Suddenly, a large amount of flakes fell through from his hands. As Yani removed his left hand, what's left in his palm was only a small pile of purple black powder. The purple lantern flower didn't have any poisonous properties, and neither does iron sand vine, so there wouldn't be any poisonous responses even if both were consumed together. Even if it were poisonous, a normal poison's effect would be only minuscule against powerful individuals that had achieved the spirit profound realm or may not even have any effect at all. However, a powder created by combining certain components of the purple lantern flower and the iron sand vine together had the properties to tremendously irritate the eyes. If touched by the eye, no matter how powerful one's profound strength may be, they would still lose their sight temporarily. Grasping this handful of powder, Yani slowly turned around and looked at Xioba, who wasn't even 10 steps away from him that appeared like a ghost without presence. Xoba became slightly surprised when Yani was able to notice him. He looked at Yani with scorn and coldly said, "You're called Xyrochi, right? The good for nothing that was kicked out of Zyro clan." "No, I am named Yani." Yani leisurely stared back at him. There wasn't a single hint of fear on his face. "Hmp?" Xioba wasn't actually interested what his name was. Nor did he react to Yuni's leisure gesture since dealing with a super wastel with damaged profound veins wasn't something he even needed to think about. I've got orders from my young master to deliver you to meet your maker. In the next life, remember not to provoke those that you can't afford to offend. TL original said, "Meet Yama, king of Chinese hell." As his voice faded, a short blade already appeared in Xio's hand. He then swung his right hand and the blade flew toward with Yani with the earpiercing sound of space being torn apart. Xyro Quangjian wanted him to disfigure Yani's face and cut off his tongue. But he evidently didn't have the patience to waste so much time and energy on a complete trash like him. He was too lazy to even touch Yi at all, so he just threw out a blade and aimed it directly at the throat. When Xioba suddenly took out the short blade, Yani's brow shook violently. And when Xioba swung his right arm out, his heart finally dropped. He had prepared for Xioba to rush forward and bash him. But he didn't expect that a person that had achieved the spirit profound realm from Xio sect would actually use weapons against a worthless person like him and even assassinating him using throwing knives with the pitifully insignificant profound power in his body. How could he dodge a throwing knife thrown by a powerful being that had reached the spirit profound realm? Was this Xio Ba's personality twisted? He actually acted offbeat from the logic of a normal person to even use weapons in order kill someone who didn't possess profound power at all like me. When he feel ashamed if others knew about this, Yani powerlessly cursed in his heart. As the blade reflected in his pupils got closer, his consciousness promptly tried to dodge the knife by reflex, but his slow body had no chance of dodging it at all. Just as the knife was about to piece Yani's throat, a red shadow shot out of Yanchi's body like a lightning bolt and darted toward Xio Ba. H the short blade had not pierced Yi<unk>s throat and simply vanished from his vision. But now behind Xio Ba's body was the addition of a petite silhouette. She had her back towards Yani. Dressed in a white one piece, she exhibited a naked shin and feet that were as beautiful as Jade. as her red hair scattered all the way down to her waist. This enchanting allure was unparalleled. And in her right hand was clearly the short blade that Xioba shot at him. This girl, her clothes, and red hair. Don't tell me. Xioba still kept the same posture as when he threw the short blade. His whole body froze like before. In the ghastly silence, he didn't turn around, nor did his expression and movements change at all, as if he was suspended in time. The only change would be that his pupils contracted to the size of the eye of a needle. As if at that moment he saw the world's most horrifying scene. As a gust of refreshing breeze brushed by, Xio Ba's erect body suddenly fell apart in the light wind. That's right. It fell apart like the collapse of a pile of toy building blocks that fell down one block at a time to become a pool of blood and a countless number of minute dismembered pieces. As the wind blew into Yanchi's face, it brought back the pungent scent of blood. His whole body was petrified in place. As he looked at the back of the girl, his pupils contracted violently and couldn't breath at all. Even his heartbeat had almost completely stopped. Her garment and red hair revealed to him that this was clearly the girl that he met during that night in the rear mountains, who also entered inside the sky poison pearl. However, after going into the sky poison pearl, she had always been unconsciously sleeping. But now she had awoken, left the sky poison pearl by herself, and showed him the most terrifying scene he had ever witnessed in the profound sky continent. In just that instant, it was doubtless that this girl was able to grab the knife that almost pierced his throat, rushed towards Xioba, and killed him. The whole process could only be seen as a flash of red light that lasted during an inconsiderably puny tick of time. Xio Ba's body was entirely minced, and to be dismantled into such a state, it would at least take over hundreds of strikes. In other words, this girl not only intercepted the knife that almost took his life just a moment ago, but also used the same knife and chopped Xyro at least several hundreds times. Was was this even the ability a small girl could have? No. Was this even a realm that humans could reach? Dong. Oo. During Yani's extreme state of shock, the girl's short blades suddenly dropped to the ground, and she emitted a painful moan that usually could be heard from a small animal. Right after that, her entire body slowly assumed a squatting position onto the ground, and her petite body shivering slightly, as if bathing inside an icy cold gust. This hateful, absolute gods slaying poison. How could I, the princess, experience such a rebound when only using this degree of power? Ooh. Yani carefully walked two steps closer. And every time his gaze fell onto the puddle of blood, his heart would feel a chill. Who was this red-haired girl? Xioba was from Xioct, so his true strength was at least in the lower levels of spirit profound realm. It was probable that almost no one in floating Cloud City could even match him. However, this girl had instantly killed him in a flash. T L I, the princess, an arrogant way of speaking whereby one refers to themselves as someone of importance. She may or may not be a real princess. Similar to that of the Japanese or if in English would just be I may translate this phrase into this princess or I next time. This girl undoubtedly appeared to be only 12 or 13. At this age, even reaching elementary profound realm would be rare. Zia Kingu reaching 10th level of the elementary profound realm at the age of 16 was already considered to be the number one genius in the entire city. But this girl, this girl, this was the first time since arriving in this profound sky continent that Yani was genuinely shocked for the first time. For when he looked at the scene before his eyes, it completely exceeded his apprehension. His apprehension gained from an entire two lifetimes. Yani took a heavy deep breath, strove to calm down with great effort, clenched his teeth, and finally spoke. Little girl, you woke up. Hearing Yani's voice, the girl's body stopped shivering. She slowly stood up, turned around, and showed her face that was as delicate as a doll. Although this immature and tender face and was unbelievably beautiful, right now it had an apparent expression of pain. She looked at Yani and spoke with a tender but icy cold tone. How unbelievable. The sky poison pearl would actually choose a useless common person like you as its master. Don't tell me that this heavenly profound treasure spirituality had already become distorted. Strictly speaking, this was the first time Yani saw her face to face. Although he had visited her many times every day in the sky poisoned Pearl as he looked at her again right now, Yani still was incapable of turning his gaze away. This was due to the extreme beauty of the girl. She was beautiful enough to the point of being able to steal souls. Every single feature on her snow-like face were exquisitly delicate and perfect beyond compare. Moreover, it reached the pinnacle of indescribably perfection. Her eyes were sparkling and translucent like precious black gemstones, but were also as profound as the night sky. From her eyes, Yani saw a kind of loftiness. Yet this loftiness was absolutely not like Xyro Quangian's kind of senseless and hotty arrogance that abused authority, but a noble aloofness that came from the soul, as if before her eyes, every spirit in this world were all without exception simply just large ants, while every living thing in this world was comparable to be as insignificant as dust. Cyan Forest Town within the inn. All the entre and side dishes had been served, yet Xioba still had not returned. Xyro Quangian started to feel agitated and snorted coldly against a piece of trash. He actually wasted this much time. HMPH, perhaps he got lost in this unfamiliar place. Xioju, you go take a look. Yes, young master. Xioju accepted the order and immediately stood up to walk out of the inn to then trail towards the direction Xioa had previously gone. Yi had already quickly calmed down inside, but from what the young girl said just now, combined with her muttering before, there were a few phrases that stuck out to him. This princess, absolute gods slaying poison, heavenly profound treasure, she called herself a princess. Was she a princess from a certain empire? And what is absolute gods slaying poison? I knew all the poison in the world on the back of my hand. How could I have never heard of this name and this heavenly profound treasure? grandfather said that my birth parents were being hunted because they carried a heavenly profound treasure with them. And the words heavenly profound treasures were a kind of frightening taboo. And from what this girl said, she was clearly talking about the sky poison pearl. Is there actually more than just one heavenly profound treasure? But Yani didn't inquire about any of these questions, nor was it time for asking. He hesitated a little and finally said,"Little girl, I don't really understand what you are saying, but since you finally woke up from such a long slumber in the sky, Poison Pearl, could you tell me your name?" Facing Yani's inquiry, the girl's complexion and gaze didn't shift, as if she hadn't heard him at all. But after a short while, she nevertheless answered Yani's questions. Moving her pink and tender lips, she muttered an icy cold word. "Jasmine! Jasmine!" Yani smiled. His gaze carried honest appreciation. Jasmine is cute and petite, has a rich aroma, and is beautifully white without imperfections. This name really suits you. White without imperfections. The girl's complexion of pain slowly abaded. Her lips slightly curled and tilted, forming an ice cold angle. At this time, a wave of cold breeze passed by and made her scarlet hair flutter in the air. A emerald colored leaf fell in the wind and was caught in a grip by the girl. I am Jasmine, a jasmine that had been dyed red with blood. As the girl loosened her grip, the previously intact leaf had now became a pile of tiny flakes and fell out of her hands, accompanying the wind. Yani's heart experienced a bone freezing chill he had never ever felt before. Those tiny flakes dispersed with the wind. And when some of them flew toward the girl's body, an eerie scene appeared before Yani's eyes. As those flakes touched the girl's body, they actually didn't cling on to her, but passed straight through and scattered behind her. What is this? Don't tell me this girl's body is actually ethereal. No. If she was ethereal, then how could she have picked up the short knife and catch that falling leaf just now? Is it that she can touch something willingly but can't be touched otherwise? A semi-thereal body. Your question, this princess had already answered it. Now it's time for you to answer this princess questions. Jasmine's black gemstone-like eyes stared straight at Yon Cheese. The impeccably charming gaze, however, was like a razor-sharp knife and pierced straight into the deepest part of his heart and soul. Where in the world did you obtain the sky poison pearl? My master passed it on to me. However, he has passed away and I don't know where he obtained the sky poison pearl either. Yanqi said directly. Facing this girl's gaze as clear as a diamond, he had a terrified feeling that he shouldn't lie about even half a sentence. So, he simply answered the truth directly, since in this case, the truth was probably worthless to her anyways. The girl stared into his eyes for three whole seconds, then finally fluctuated a little. Using a icy cold tone that shouldn't belong to a 12 or 13year-old girl, she plainly said, "Sky poison pearl ranked fifth in the seven heavenly profound treasures. Limitless inner space can counteract all poisons, refine all ingredients when appeared for an instant 1,300 years ago. The whole world turmo disappeared without a trace. I didn't expect that it actually landed into a waistrol with forever broken profound veins hands and even fused with your body. What ridiculousness. I don't know whether this sky poison pearl had lost its spirituality or its spirit had thoroughly become insane. Seven heavenly profound treasures. Ranked fifth, the girl's brow that was like a waning moon suddenly sunk. A wave of ice cold murdering intent solidified and tightly caged Yuni's body. If the sky poison pearl would even fuse with a waistrol like you, there is no reason it wouldn't fuse with this princess. H. A flood of cold gale flew toward uh and his back violently crashed into the tree trunk behind him before he could even react. The girl's charming face full of murderous intent was now only a foot away and her left hand tightly gripped on his throat. You opened his eyes wide and his face rapidly turned ghastly under the excruciating suffocation. I'll give you two choices. The girl's absolute stunning features were now full of dreadfulness, and every word from her tender voice is chilling. Your first choice, obediently turn over the sky poison pearl to this princess. The other is that this princess will take the sky poison pearl from your dead body after I take your life. Although the young girl's hands were undoubtedly supple like tender jade, it rigidly constricted his throat and rendered him unable to move at all with excruciating pain. However, his face didn't show even the slightest fear or panic. Instead, spoke dullly with his weak and horse voice. I choose the second choice. Quickly, kill me now. The girl's lovely eyes narrowed and sneered. You think I wouldn't dare to? As she was speaking, her fingers abruptly tightened. Five lines of frightening blood prints immediately appeared Yi's neck, and his complexion became even more anguished than before. However, he curled up his lips and smiled with a ghastly white face. If you really wished for me to die, then just now you wouldn't have saved me despite risking the poisons rebound. Jasmine Yani stared into her eyes and continued as his face contorted with pain. You were hit by a strange poison, but this poison not only poisoned the body, but also poisoned the soul. That night, your body already dissipated in my face, and you became only a soul tormented by this severe poison. The body you have now is only a semi-physical body born from you forcefully sucking my blood. the other day while borrowing power from the sky poison pearl that was fused with me. This means that my life is also your life. If you had died, it wouldn't affect me in the slightest. But if I had died, you would have instantly died with me. If I turned over the sky poison pearl to you, I would have really invited my own death. An intense shock swayed through the depth of Jasmine's charming eyes, and she slowly loosened her small hands that were on Yani's throat. As he finally had escaped the pain of being choked, Yanqi harshly coughed with unrivaled intensity. He then violently vomited to the point of even hurling out his bile, his complexion becoming even ghastly than before. You don't actually seem to be as useless as you look. Jasmine looked at him with the corner of her eye. How could you tell? He Yani smiled with a low voice. Because I'm an exceptionally skilled doctor. If you don't want to die, you must not only spare me, but must also protect me with all your might. To be able to consolidate your soul into a body, one would at least need to have the strength of Emperor Profound Realm. Your life certainly would worth much more than mine. To reach Emperor Profound Realm at the age of 12 or 13, one could imagine Yani's turmoil in his heart as he spoke his words. Throughout the Blue Wind Empire, if one had reached Sky Profound Realm, one would already be considered uncsurmountable. And for people who had achieved emperor profound realm, there weren't even 10 in the entire Blue Wind Empire. Without exception, these people can boast like emperors, for they were unparalleled between the heavens and earth. To reach this realm, one would not only need exceptional ingenuity and lucky opportunities, but also need an adequate amount of time. People in Blue Wind Empire who could reach Emperor Profound realm were invariably over hundreds of years old. After reaching this realm, even if the physical body was destroyed, one could still take form by crystallizing the soul. If they could find a chance to rebuild the physical body, they would be able to flawlessly resurrect. However, this girl who had her body destroyed, whose soul was still alive and depended on his life force, clearly had the strength of Emperor Profound Realm. How terrifying of a concept is that? However, the girl's next sentence stupified Yani for an entire 5 seconds. Emperor Profound Realm. The girl's gaze didn't waver, but her face openly expressed a deep disinterest. What's that, Yani? At this time, the sound of slightly hurried footsteps could be heard from up ahead. Jasmine's gaze congealed and slowly snapped her body around. The owner of the footsteps sound quickly appeared in their vision. Xioju, another one has come for my life. What to do is up to you. When he was facing Xioba earlier, although he had his secret weapon held in hand, it was impossible to assert that he wasn't nervous. But now looking at the Xyroju in front of his eyes, he wasn't nervous even in the slightest. He leaned half of his body onto the tree trunk behind him, his gaze towards Xyroju actually contained a tiny bit of pity and disappointment. Why did only a Zyroju come? It would have been great if a few more came to accompany him in the grave. Xioju first saw Yani, then saw the puddle of blood and minced meat on the ground. Although Xio Ba's body was already broken into several thousand of pieces, he still recognized it since they had been compions for decades. Suddenly, he became a ghast for a while, but as his gaze fell upon Jasmine, he became utterly flabbergasted. Xioba and Xyroj were both born from impure bloodlines. Their position in the humongous Xyro sect was at first meager, but because they had expressed exceptional talent, they were selected and went through impossibly strict training and later became Xioangians personal guard. They not only possessed great profound strength, but their personality were also cold and ruthless. They only knew loyalty and was uninterested in all other things, including women. Even if they had stunningly alluring maidens in their arms, their expressions and heat wouldn't waver and fluctuate even a little, as if they were robots without any sex drive. Of course, being a pedophile was further out of the question. But the moment he saw Jasmine, his eyes became dazed, and his body experienced a numbing sensation he had never felt before. All of the blood in his body nearly boiled over. He didn't know what language he could use to describe the beauty of the girl in front of his eyes. Her eyes, as if it was the most dazzling pearl in the world, shimmerred with a mystifying, beautiful complexion. What exquisite flawlessness were her cheeks and features, impeccable to the point that it couldn't even be described as an immaculate statue made of jade. The petite and tender young bodiline that brimmed with immatureness, was alluring to the extreme, following the white dress downwards, beauty like nature itself poured out. Below the skirt hem, there exhibited two thin, straight, and tender shins. With faultlessly white and creamy skin, as if crafted from jade, it overflowed with a honeyed milk sleekness, and announced its crystal clearness like that of ice. Her feet that touched the ground were like two blooming icy lotus blossoms, impeccably beautiful, as if they didn't belong in the human realm. In this world, how could there be something this beautiful? Zyroju was thoroughly frozen. Both of his eyes opened wide and contained a sluggish gaze as his awareness entirely went beyond the heavens. As if his soul was taken away, he forgot about Zyro Ba, who died tragically and forgot about Yani, whom he needed to kill. In his eyes, in his awareness, only the girl that was beautiful enough to drain the colors from both heaven and earth remained. Her long scarlet hair that blew in the wind added a bit of flirtatiousness onto her absolute beauty. It made his heartbeat speed up and heated up his whole body. His heart entrenched the intense desire to possess her, pin her below his body, and wildly ravage her with abandon. "You have a death wish." Looking at Xioju<unk>s exceedingly feverish gaze, Jasmine expressed a sullen anger on her face. She abruptly lifted her tender and jade-like hand and pointed her palm at Xioju<unk>s chest. Bang! Without any emotion or warning, the instant Jasmine raised her hand, Xioju<unk>s expression abruptly changed. It changed into extreme horror, as if he had seen the most terrifying of hells at that moment. Afterwards, a terrifying sound of exploding body parts came about, and his body busted open with a loud bang. The head, four limbs, torso, and the organs all shattered in an instant, blossoming into a huge bloody flower. His scattering specks of blood flew far away and splashed, dying the entire surrounding surface blood red. Yani, the two from Xioct, Xioba and Xio Ju, were superpowers for the Xioct master's son. Yet, one had his body split open instantaneously, and the other had his body instantaneously explode. They were both unexpectedly killed instantly, all under Jasmine's hand. Yet, there weren't any signs of apparent struggle. Perhaps even until their death, they still wouldn't understand how they had died. Furthermore, the way they had died was more miserable than the other. This young with two lifetimes had killed countless people, so he was long accustomed to gore and cruelty. For when facing the people he extremely hated, his way of handling them was equally as sinister. Yet never was there a time that he could be as savage as she was to arbitrarily kill people as she pleased. To be more precise, he didn't actually have the ability to do so. this red-haired girl who claimed to be Jasmine. Who exactly was she? Oo. A painful moan suddenly came out from Jasmine's mouth as her petite body instantly squatted on the floor and started to shiver all over. Xyro had became a lump of mincemeat while Zyro Ju had became a pool of bloody water. Yani suddenly understood why she had claimed to be the blood soaked jasmine. From her way of killing, one could imagine how many people she had killed and how brutally her victims died under her hand. She was clearly only a girl that had not yet grown up. But from her actions, it was as if she was a heartlessly ruthless god of death. Yani's inner heart uncontrollably gave birth to a cold and icy fear. Looking at her painful expression, Yani hesitated for a moment, but still walked two steps forward and said, "You clearly could have used only the smallest of power to kill him. Yet you wanted him to die without a full corpse. Your soul is now infected with a unique poison. Once you use your profound strength, this poison will take advantage of it and enter to devour your soul. Aw. A long wolf howl suddenly sounded out from behind Yani. And this howl was obviously extremely close. So close that it was right beside his ear. Yani immediately spun around. And sure enough, on his right, he saw a mature wolf covered in gray fur that had unknowingly appeared 20 ft from him that stared at him with savage eyes. Wild wolf. Yani's heart suddenly became alarmed. This was the borderline of the town. How could there a wild wolf even appear? Even though this wild wolf was only a normal beast, it was still a wolf and it was in a place that was impossible for it to be in. Wait, the wind was still currently blowing and Xoba was turned into mince meat earlier. So, if the scent of blood was carried by the wind, there was a high chance of it attracting bloodthirsty, profound beasts. This wild wolf that had suddenly appeared didn't even give Yani enough time to react or think. It growled once to then charge in a straight line, leaping at a distance of around seven steps straight towards Yani. Its glittering cold, sharp claws were sufficient enough to immediately shred his body. What Yani had said previously wasn't wrong at all. In order for Jasmine to enter the sky poison pearl, she sucked Yani's blood, thus attaching her life to his, and therefore Yani's life also became her life. If Yani died, she will die as well. Even if she did not die, if she lost the sky poison pearl, her soul would scatter in a short period of time due to the poison in her body. Therefore, seeing the wolf pouncing towards Yanqi, a hint of murderous intent flashed across Jasmine's eyes, and raging profound energy began to condense in her hand. But in the moment she used her profound strength, she felt as if she was being pierced by thousands of arrows. Her entire body became stiff and a painful wine came out from her mouth. As all the condensed, profound energy from before dispersed, her entire body started to twitch from the pain. Her body suddenly blurred, becoming clear at times, yet also indistinct in others, as if she was only an illusion. When she first used her strength to cut down Xoba, she felt the strong rebound effect of the absolute gods slaying poison. And the second usage of her profound strength to exterminate Xioju multiplied the rebound effect. Channeling her profound strength again, this time activated the deadly poison in her body, and it started to devour her soul frantically, like a snake that had just awakened from its slumber, let alone attack the wolf, she was already incapable of standing upright. Faced with the poison's outbreak, her half-transparent body seemed as if it may possibly vanish like smoke into thin air. Don't use your profound energy. As he looked at Jasmine's body that was appearing now and then, Yani started to frown. Meanwhile, the wild wolf overhead began to drop head first, its razor-sharp teeth coming closer and closer to his eyes. Slash the clothes on his right shoulder were ferociously ripped apart as it almost injured the flesh. Yani, who had dangerously dodged a sudden right pounce, didn't wait to get up, and instead used all the strength in his right hand that was tightly clenched and swung in the direction of the gay wolf. The lump of powder that he had prepared to use on Xio B accurately scattered on the head of the wild wolf who had just landed. The wild wolf suddenly gave a mournful roar and its body collapsed mid roar as its claws desperately clawed at its own eyes. Yani immediately stood up and quickly grabbed the dagger Jasmine had thrown on the floor earlier. He suddenly gritted his teeth and using all his strength to pounce back towards the wild wolf with the intention of piercing its throat by using the dagger in his hand. Although wild wolves were normal beasts, their skin and bones were all extremely sturdy. When a normal person used their entire strength to pierce its throat, the result would just be a mere flesh wound that wouldn't harm its life, but instead would agitate its aggressiveness. Yani's dagger came down at an extreme speed, and the place it landed was unwaveringly locked within his line of sight. The dagger accurately went through the space between the throat bones of the wild wolf and sliced open its throat. The wild wolf's roar began to lose power. Its entire body violently twitched before collapsing on the ground without a sound. Few Yani let out a deep sigh of relief and stretched out his hand to wipe his forehead filled with sweat. Although his strength was low and his body was weak, his battle experience and eyesight were still there. The fact that the hymn, who previously disdained the entire world, had such difficulty with an extremely normal wild wolf, made him involuntarily reveal a bitter smile. With an expression of pain on her face, Jasmine was like wounded kitten as she laid curled up on the floor while her body still continued to flash like before. After Yani caught his breath, he got up and went to her side. He placed his left hand on her shoulder, released the detoxification power of the sky poison pearl quickly, and restrained the poison that raged within her body and soul. Absolute divine slaying poison. What kind of poison was it exactly? That it would go as far as to take the life of this girl with monstrous power. The pain in Jasmine's small face finally started to lessen. However, her body was still alternating between clear and indistinct. Furthermore, the rate of it changing started to get more and more frequent as it clearly showed signs of dissipating. At this moment, Jasmine suddenly raised her face, stretched out her hand, and immediately grabbed onto Yani's right wrist. She parted her tender lips, and used her snow white teeth to firmly bite his forefinger. The pain from his finger caused Yani's face to distort. He felt his finger get bitten by sharp teeth, and the blood droplets that seeped out were all sucked into Jasmine's mouth. Compared to the fear of his blood being sucked by her the first time, Yani was much calmer now. He didn't struggle at all and also let her bite his finger in any way she wanted. The soft and warm feeling of a small tongue was pressing against the tip of his finger firmly, giving him an indescribable feeling of enjoyment under his acute pain, along with droplets of blood being sucked into Jasmine's mouth. The rate of change in Jasmine's body started to slow down before finally stopping half a minute later. Although her face was still pale white, Jasmine removed her teeth from his finger afterwards, for at least she was no longer in pain. Yani took a step back, looked at the bite mark on forefinger on his right hand that was still oozing with blood, and spoke while breathing in the cold air. "Are you related to a dog to bite me every time you see me?" Jasmine stretched out her small hand and gently wiped the corners of her mouth as her young and tender face still lingered with fear. She gritted her teeth slightly, frowned, and said coldly. Isn't that because you're useless? If not, how would this princess be forced to end up like this? Me useless? Yani laughed at himself. He compared to you, I am indeed useless. A normal wild wolf could easily take my life. If you had not saved me twice, I would have already died under the hands of the two you had killed just now. But no matter how useless I am, I did save your life twice. If you had not met me that night, you would have already been poisoned to death. Just now, if I have abandoned you, a dangerous little girl, and walked away, your soul could have already dispersed. When you're saying that I am useless, have you ever thought about thanking me?" Jasmine kept silent. "Being able to meet the sky poison pearl at the brink of death is counted as your blessing. However, your luck clearly ends here. My profound vein has been crippled. If I don't fix it, I will only stay at the first level of the elementary profound realm my entire life. You are infected with a deadly poison, so you cannot anyhow use your power and with only my strength when facing a bigger danger. I could perish any moment to thus drag you down with me." Yani indifferently said as he used his hand to hold the finger that had eventually stopped bleeding. Jasmine continued to keep silent. However, the expression in her eyes kept changing as if she was hesitating or struggling over something. But you don't have to worry. I will try my best to find a way to fix my own profound vein. No, I must find a way. Before that happens, I will take care to protect my own life. Xyrochi said with a calm and determined face. In his mind appeared the figure of Xyro Li and Xyro Lynxy once again. For them, he had to walk down this extremely challenging path within the fastest speed, no matter the cost. Fix your profound vein. A disdainful smile emerged from the girl's face. I've already taken a look at your profound vein. It wasn't damaged recently, but was seriously damaged when you were little, and it was before the complete formation of your profound vein. Thus, it was destroyed at the roots. As of today, your profound veins are crippled beyond comparison. With this kind of situation, there is indeed a way to forcefully fix it. However, even after you fix it, you can at most only open up three profound entrances. Furthermore, you had already missed the 14-year-old critical period of elementary profound foundation. With this state, in 10 years, you won't even be able to break through the elementary profound realm. In addition, you also will not be able to break through the nent profound realm your entire life and still remain as before, a useless trash. Jasmine's words caused Yi's expression to suddenly turn rigid, and both his hands began to clench. Jasmine's words stabbed at the truth he had always been avoiding in his heart. Just like she had said, his profound vein had been crippled at its roots. Even if he knew the way to fix it, he could only fix a small portion of it. So his profound vein would still be half crippled. Due to the fact that he had missed the most critical foundation period, not only with the speed of his profound strength cultivation, G will be extremely slower compared to others people by a multiplicative degree, but also it was practically impossible to break through into the true profound realm. Yani's chest heavily undulated, gritting his teeth, he said, "I will find a solution for all of that. You wanted to collect all types of herbs and use the sky poison pearls refinement ability to make every type of medicine to make yourself stronger, right? It does seem like a good idea. However, with your laughable ability, what can you rely on to borrow those high-grade herbs? Instead, you will be consigned to eternal damnation, thus dragging this princess to death with you. With complete set of clear eyes, Jasmine lifted her face as if she had finally made a decision. Keep your laughable ideas to yourself. You have saved this princess life. Therefore, this princess shall indeed repay you. You only need to promise this princess three conditions. Then this princess will immediately let you have a new set of profound veins. Under Yi's startled gaze, Jasmine's expression in her eyes became deep and mysterious as her voice suddenly became softer. A set of profound veins with the strength of a god. To immediately have a new set of profound veins. Profound veins with the strength of a god. Jasmine's few sentences were like a sudden clap of thunder to the Yanqi who had endlessly desired a way to repair his profound veins. He told Xio Lynxy that he definitely become strong and return within 3 years of time yet was very clear about the condition of his profound vein and understood that the repairing of his profound veins within 3 years was very unlikely. The reason why he made such a claim was to pressure himself to the limit. Only through such conviction can one achieve their maximum potential. And right now, Jasmine had clearly stated that she could immediately provide Yi with a new set of profound veins. Furthermore, this new set of profound veins also came with the strength of a god. He did not know what the strength of a god Jasmine had spoke of, but the three words new profound veins caused his heart to fill with excitement. He suppressed this excitement and stared at Jasmine. You are speaking the truth. What reason would I, this princess, have to lie to you? said the girl, her face pink with pride. Yani didn't know what to say. Indeed, given the terrible might of her emperor profound realm level of power, there would be no reason for her to waste her efforts in deceiving a normal person, let alone a to let a person acquire a new set of profound veins within a short period of time. In the eyes of a normal person, even in the eyes of the exceptionally skilled spirit doctor, Yanqi, would be nothing short of a miracle. But as Jasmine uttered those words, there was not even a hint of deception from her aura. However, her red hair gave away the fact she was not a human from the profound sky continent. for her age was fairly young, her aura terrifying, and the poison on her person was something even the sky poison pearl could not identify. How many other mysteries did she still have? Perhaps she really had a strange method that could allow him to obtain a new set of profound veins in such a short period of time. If that really was possible, then he would have a shorefare chance to realize the promise he made to Xio Li and Xio Lynxy. As he thought about it, Yani's gaze started to burn. Okay, then tell me what are the three conditions I have to promise you. Jasmine knew he definitely couldn't reject her offer, so she just cut to the chase and directly answered. The first condition, you must promise to help this princess find three items. They are a stalk of netherworld udeara flower, three profound beast cores no lower than that of the tyrant profound realm, as well as at least 35 kilos of purple veined god crystal. TL Udara reference. Yani listened very carefully. When Jasmine had said until the Netherworld Udumbara flower, his eyebrows went limp. He had heard of the name Netherworld Udembara flower from his master before. However, he had never seen it before. When his master had told him about it that time, the Netherworld Udumbara flower was an object of yin and evil in the world. It only grew in dark and cold lands. Its stem and leaves were of a purplish black color, and it took an entire 24 years to only bloom once. The bloomed flower was of an extremely pretty and flirtatious bright purple color. On its petals lingered a light purple mist that carried the breath of the netherworld, and while that mist drifted, it still faintly lets out the crying and laughing sounds of the nether ghosts. The flower withered 3 days after blooming, thus one would have to wait 24 years later for it to bloom once more. His master had not mentioned the usefulness of the netherworld udmbara flower. He only said that if a normal person gets close to it, he would get invaded by the nether gases, ending in a coma in light cases and death in the worst. Going to a dark and cold land to find a stalk of flower that only bloomed once every 24 years that could cause death when approaching it. Yani moved his eyebrows and did not overreact. If Jasmine could really bestow on him a new set of profound veins, this request was not considered unreasonable. However, the second item Jasmine had said almost caused him to cry out involuntarily. Three profound beast cores no lower than the tyrant profound realm. Are you kidding me? What was the tyrant profound realm? That was a legendary realm that numerous profound practitioners could not attain. A realm so high up that they couldn't even see it. If one looked within the entire blue wind empire, there were a few in the emperor profound realm. However, it was confirmed that none were in the tyrant profound realm. Experts in the emperor profound realm were known to reach throne. While for the tyrant profound realm, they were known as overlords. This meant that once one attained this realm, one would be the absolute ruler of heaven and earth that none could ever defy. Let's not speak of the present blue wind empire now. Even within an entire thousand years, an ultimate expert of the tyrant profound realm had never appeared within the blue wind empire. And with just a word from Jasmine, she wanted three profound beast cores no lower than the tyrant profound realm. To get these three cores, he had to kill three tyrant profound beasts. The first problem would be where he would find the three tyrant profound beasts within the blue wind empire. Who would even dare to offend a tyrant profound beast? Above the emperor profound realm, every step up brings one closer to heaven. Even five people at the peak of the emperor profound realm had no chance of winning against someone at the first level of the tyrant profound realm. With that said, it meant that even if all the emperor profound realm experts of blue wind empire gathered together, they still would not be able to deal with even one tyrant profound beast. three profound beast cores no lower than tyrant profound realm. One would reckon that the heads of the four major sects would fly into an outrage after hearing this request. And as for the third item Jasmine had mentioned, Yani nearly fell on his butt in shock. At least 35 kilos of purple veined god crystal. It was purple veined god crystal, not purple veined heaven crystal. Purple veined heaven crystals were considered to be priceless treasures in this world. A piece of purple veined heaven crystal as big as a fingernail was considered to be invaluable and only those huge sects deserve to have it. Normal profound practitioners did not even dare to think about having one. Purple veined god crystals are made by extracting from purple veined heaven crystals. A house-sized purple veined heaven crystal was estimated to only provide a purple veined god crystal that was the size of a fingernail. In that case, 35 kilos of purple veined god crystal at number dollar percent. Yani had the reason to believe that even if one added up all the purple veined god crystals in the entire profound sky continent, it would not even total 35 kilos. And if there really existed this amount of purple veined god crystal, in that case, its value would be enough to buy at least three blue wind empires. Are you sure you aren't teasing me? When Yani spoke, air kept leaking out between his teeth. He believed anyone in the Blue Wind Empire would be shocked that they would end in a stutter if they heard this request. The expression on Jasmine's face had no trace of joking around. She coldly stared and said, "The poison has invaded my soul. Even with the sky poison pearl, it would take a number of years before it would detoxify completely. After the poison on me had detoxified, I would have to rebuild my body. And these three items are necessary for me to rebuild my body. Not a single one is dispensable. Then the time. 30 years. 30 years. This timing finally let Yani let out a small sigh and slowly nodded his head. Okay. I agreed to this condition. Rubbish. 30 years was still a long time. So of course it would be thought about after making the promise. As for the netherworld Udumbara flower, the tyrant profound beast cores and 35 kilos of purple veined god crystal. Anyway, there was still 30 years. It shall be done one step at a time. As for the second condition, Yani held his breath and asked if the first condition was already so scary, then the second one might be be even more terrifying. The second condition, you must within 30 years reach the sovereign profound realm, Jasmine said slowly and clearly while looking at Yani's expression at number dollar percent. Yani suddenly had the urge to pin little Jasmine on the floor and start spanking her. He started to suspect that this little girl was actually just teasing him. I'm not sure about the profound sky continent, but looking at the history of the Blue Wind Empire, no one has ever attained the sovereign profound realm within 30 years. Or to be more precise, no one has ever attained the sovereign profound realm before. Yani said as a matter of fact. However, the corners of his lips twitched faintly, revealing the resentment in his heart. Then, will you agree or not? Jasmine tilted her eyebrows. Agree? Of course, I agree, Yani replied without hesitation, withdrawing the previous expressions he had on his face. Within his eyes laid a kind of tranquil and calmness that was its peak. Your first condition, perhaps I still feel a bit apprehensive. However, this condition was not really counted as a condition to me. As for why I say that, no one in the history of Blue Wind Empire could attain sovereign profound realm in 30 years. If I was given the same starting points as everyone else, I would overturn the history of the Blue Wind Empire. I have the sky poison pearl in my body. So if I lose to anyone on the Blue Wind Empire, then that would be considered to be really trashy. 30 years to reach the Sovereign Profound Realm, it's definitely not some idiotic nonsense. Yi narrowed his eyes in half, his voice as calm as the water. He had thought that after saying these impassioned and blood boiling words, the little Jasmine would look at him a few more times with extraordinary splendor. But to Yan Cheese's disappointment, Jasmine only slightly nodded her head. He felt depressed and asked, "However, why do you want me to attain the sovereign profound realm within 30 years? A human's vitality is related to their own profound strength. This princess weak body currently originates from your vitality. This princess wants to rebuild her body and retain her previous strength, so I must at least have the vitality of the sovereign profound realm," Jasmine said calmly. Yani nodded his head as if he understood. Then he suddenly became alarmed. "At least the vitality of the sovereign profound realm. Then she could retain her strength after rebuilding her body and merging with her soul." In that case, this means her previous strength was above the sovereign profound realm. No, no, that can't be. That definitely can't be possible. I must have interpreted it wrongly. Yani shook his head, trying to shake off this ridiculous thought. Jasmine's gaze once again landed on his body, becoming strict and proud. The third condition, kneel down and worship me as your master. Yani looked at her blankly without uttering a single word for quite a while. Are you willing to? Jasmine raised her eyebrows slightly, her small face beautiful and tender, yet masked with a layer of awe that would cause one's heart to palpitate. How old are you this year? Yani asked with a face at a loss. Jasmine's gaze hardened, but still answered him. 13 years old. 13 years old. This answer completely corresponded with her appearance, but it caused Yan Cheese in her heart to shudder and groan. 13 years old. Fck. She was actually only 13 years old. this frightening profound strength, wisdom, and mature attitude that spoke as if she was proud of one's age and experience. I was under the impression that she was a grandma of a few hundred of years. She was actually only 13 years old. However, Yani changed his line of thought and his inner heart suddenly relaxed. If she was really only 13 years old, then no matter how scary her profound strength was, no matter how noble and mysterious her birth was, no matter how cruel and proud she was, no matter how mature her thinking was, she at most only had up to 13 years of experience. Compared to the him with the memory of two lifetimes, he would still have a way to deal with her. No matter how big and strong she was, in the end, she was still just a little girl that had not yet grown up. Is it because after you knew this princess is only 13 years old, so you suddenly felt it is easier to handle this princess? Jasmine squinted her eyes and said coldly. This sentence directly stabbed into Yani's heart. Yani quickly shook his head. Of course not. The reason why I asked for your age is because I wanted to tell you that I'm 16 this year and is older than you by 3 years. Your age is a bit younger than mine. So to be my master, isn't it a little inappropriate? age. Jasmine laughed disdainfully. Even when the experts of this continent knelt down in front of this princess for the past 10 years, this princess will not even look at them. This princess is now giving you a favor by offering to be your master. Yet, you still want to reject. That tone was so overbearing that Yani started to feel suffocated. Yani immediately made a decision on the spot and nodded his head. Okay, I can worship you as my master, but I will never cowtow to you. reason, Jasmine said plainly. I can kneel to my elders, kneel to my benefactor, even kneeling to my wife is a possibility if required. But to kneel to a little girl that I had just met a few days, I cannot do it. This is the basic dignity of being a man. Yani shook his head, his voice firmly, absolutely. He Jasmine laughed. Her laugh was as beautiful as blooming Jasmine's, yet her voice appeared to be cold and sinister. This is not up to you. Once her voice had landed, Jasmine's right hand had already grabbed Yani's shoulder as quick as lightning. Instantly, Yani felt as if he was pressed down by a mountain. His knees bended under a huge amount of force that was impossible to resist and knelt down on the floor heavily in front of Jasmine. You, Yani, revealed an expression of rage and wanted to stand up. However, under Jasmine's strength, he absolutely did not have any strength to fight back. Even when using all the strength in his body, he was incapable of making his body stand. Immediately cowtow to this princess and this princess will officially become your master. Not only would your change your profound vain change, you shall be guided onto the right path during your cultivation of the profound. While struggling, Jasmine's cold and proud voice sounded out beside Yani's ears. He shook his head forcefully and muttered, "You, you give up on it. Even if I don't get the profound vein, I will definitely not." Cowtow to a little girl like you. Before Yani could complete his words, a wave of heavy force caused his upper body to be pressed down onto the floor. Jasmine lifted a snow white foot that was like a ice lotus and stepped on Yani's shoulder with a minuscule amount of strength. A crack sound of dislocating bones was heard soon after. Yunch's head that had been tenaciously lifted up was ruthlessly knocked on the cold soil, completing the cowtow ceremony. Jasmine's small foot continued to step on Yani's shoulder without moving away with her hands across her chest, ridiculing him. Did you think that your bones are strong? That you are extraordinary? Without strength, you don't even have the ability to refuse to cowtow to me. What rights do you have to act in front of me? Without strength, your pride and dignity are nothing but a joke in front of the strong. Jasmine's words were like a bucket of cold water that splashed on Yani's head without mercy, causing him to be stumped for words. He then laughed, laughed at himself silently. That's right, without strength. What right did he have to talk about pride and dignity with the appearance of believing what he did was proud just now in the eyes of Jasmine? Must have been extremely ridiculous. Even though it wasn't willingly, but you finally still cowtowed. From now onwards, this princess will be your master. Since this princess is your master now, do you have any questions you want to ask? Jasmine continued to step on Yani's shoulder as she looked down on him from above. Yes. Yani lifted his face, his gaze lifting upwards, replying with difficulty. I want to ask, did your hair not grow in time or are you a natural white tiger? Tl natural lack of hair down there. On the night Yani had met Jasmine, Jasmine's body had disappeared and left a pile of clothes on the floor. Yani only picked up her dress into the sky poison pearl and covered it over her body. Her undergarments had not been touched. After Jasmine woke up in the sky poison pearl, she naturally could only wear this white dress, leaving her private parts completely exposed. When Jasmine stepped on his shoulder, her legs naturally parted, and from Yani's angle, the pink and tender area around her thighs clearly showed the beautiful pink scenery among the white. Y's words made Jasmine freeze up. When she suddenly noticed the direction of Yanchi's gaze, she finally realized, "Why K?" Jasmine jumped backwards like a bolt of lightning, her two small hands reflexively pressing down hard on her skirt. In just an instant, her snow white face brimmed full with exasperation, panic, and also a spread of rapidly expanding pinkness. That's right. This aloof and proud girl that acted with utmost cruelty was actually panicking and blushing. right now. Her panicked and enraged expressions, her reened face, and her action of holding down her skirt was no different from a normal girl that had suddenly been peaked on. Moreover, there was a stirring charm that no other girl could have exhibited, which dazed Yani for a while as he looked. Of course, if there weren't such a bone chilling, killing intent mixed in with that, it would have been completely perfect. Jasmine's face was full of anger. Her two pearl-like mers that tightly clenched together flickered with cold light, and the expressions in her eyes were even more ferocious, as if she wanted to skin him alive. She grew up bathed in the respect, worship, and fear of others. Except her family, it would be hard to find a few who would dare to meet her in the eyes. She had never thought that her body would actually be desecrated by a common man, moreover, by an utterly good for nothing. The killing intent surrounding Yani was terrifying enough to be compared to tangible blades, as if the owner of the killing intent would completely tear him to pieces in the next second. Yet, Yani's complexion didn't waver. He exercised his neck that almost got dislocated by Jasmine's feet and said straightforwardly as he stood up while slapping the dust off his buttocks, "I have agreed to all three of your conditions. Earlier, you said that I would be granted a new set of profound veins. Isn't it about time for that to happen? Jasmine's murderous aura didn't diminish in the slightest as the crisp redness in her face eased with her noble body. Let's not talk about completely desecrating her with one's eye. Even if someone had only touched her fingertips, she definitely would still chop him into pieces. However, against Yani, though she had extreme hatred in her heart, with enough killing intent that could even reach the skies, she couldn't do a single thing because his life was also her own. eternally forget what you've just seen. Jasmine's expressions were ominous and cruel with chilling killing intent as cold as ice. However, her visage was in all honestly too petite and cute. Even if her expressions were much more malicious, it would still be remarkably pleasing to look at, which didn't make Yan Chi feel the slightest hint of deterrence. If it's not for me sharing the same life as you, I would have definitely gouged out your eyes and made sure there won't even be a grave for you to rest in. I definitely didn't see anything I shouldn't have seen just now. Yi said with a panicked expression, but quietly added in his heart. Mhm. Everything I saw just now was something that I ought to have seen. Facing the Yani that she couldn't lay a hand on, Jasmine's anger finally died down bit by bit, but her hands still consciously held down her skirt, anxious that even the slightest breeze would lift her skirt up. She coldly spoke. I will let you be my disciple, but it's only because I don't want to teach the ways of the profound to a random person for no reason to be able to become my disciple. It's the biggest fortune you'll have in your entire life. From now on, it is absolutely necessary for you to always address me as your master. Uh, this, however, Yani had a face full of hesitation. You're not willing? Jasmine's moonlike eyebrow slanted. Of course, I'm not unwilling. Yani shook his head and said in a careful tone, "It's just that earlier I've told you that I had a master before who passed the sky poison pearl onto me. My previous master was a kind-l looking old man with white hair, and I've already called him master for many years. So, every time the word master is mentioned, I would unconsciously think of him. But since you are so beautifully cute, you definitely wouldn't want me to overlap the image of of an old man with you every time I call you master. Right, Jasmine? How about I just call you Jasmine? That name's cute, pleasing to the ears, and also fitting for you. Or I can also call you little Jasmine. Little little Jasmine. Jasminer. Little Jasmminer. Jazz. Jazz. Little Jazz. Jazz. Little Min. Calling you princess, your majesty, or Princess Jasmine is also okay. Or Jasmine's eyebrows slightly convulsed, and the edge of her lips also lightly spasomemed. Unable to endure anymore, she finally spoke. You can call me Jasmine, but you must not forget in your heart that I'm your master. Furthermore, you must not forget your duty and place as my disciple. All right. Yani nodded immediately and faithfully said, "If Jasmine can really grant me a new set of profound veins, I will treat you as my master, respect you, be obedient to you, and follow your orders. I'll do my utmost to purify all the poison in you, and help you restore your physical body." Yani's last sentence made Jasmine's gaze waver. Then her voice frosted with hidden killing intent. Also, you are not allowed do any disrespectful things to me or else. That's certain, Yani said with a sincere expression. What happened just now was just an accident. Be quiet. As she heard Yani mentioned the incident where she had been sullied by his eyes earlier, a burst of embarrassment and anger overcame Jasmine and her tone of voice also weakened quite a bit. Ah, Yani quickly stopped talking and lead the topic to the one that he desired the most. Then about granting me a new set of profound veins. Can we start now? Jasmine stayed silent for a while and said, "Bring me to a place that no one will come near." Since it was also Yani's first time stepping into Cyan Forest Town, he was entirely unfamiliar with the surroundings, and the Scarlet Dragon mountain range were even more obscure to him. Yani's digestive tract was rumbling with hunger by now. But Jasmine's words made him so excited that he completely ignored his hunger. He carefully walked deeper into Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range. After detouring around a small mountain, he arrived at an area with thick green grass. Seeing that there was no sign of human or beast activity, Yani stopped his search. "Let it be this place. No one should come here, right?" Yani swept the surroundings with his eye and said with indecision, "Jasmine, in the end, how are you going to do this?" Yi asked. "After all, getting a new set of profound veins in a short time seemed to be against common sense. No matter what angle it was considered from, Jasmine, who had followed behind Yani all along, slowly came over. Although her feet were exposed, they weren't contaminated by even the slightest hint of soil and dust along the way. Her feet were so tender and snow white that they would give anyone the impulse to touch and feel them with a single glance. Stopping in front of Yani, her gaze stared far ahead, and her eyes lustered. Do you know for what reason I was chased and infected by this terrifying poison afterwards? For what reason?" Yani asked in coordination. "Because of this drop of blood." In Yanchi's bewilderment, Jasmine slowly lifted her right hand. Her thin and delicate index finger erected toward the sky, and from the area of her fingertips, a drop of a dark red water droplet-like object slowly rose, accompanied by a shimmering ball of eerie light until it hovered over her fingertips. This is Yani came closer and steadied his eyes. It looked like a drop of blood. 300 years ago, someone found an ancient book while exploring a dangerous ruin from the ancient era. They recorded a message. In the primordial era, there existed a true god also known as the evil god. He was the last god who remained after the downfall of the divine era. His downfall marked the true end of divine era. And during the evil god's downfall, he left a droplet of immortal blood that embodied his source of power. If one could acquire this drop of immortal blood and infuse it into their body, their profound veins would be able to generate the power of the evil god. Many people quickly gain knowledge about this record. The words power of the true god was irresistibly alluring to everyone. Thus, many people started to madly search for the blood of the evil god. But for centuries, no one had any success. And it was not until one month ago that someone found the location of the evil god's downfall. Hence, enumerous people rushed to that place in order to find the remnants of the evil god. Inadvertently, the legendary immortal blood of the evil god was actually found and caused everyone to scramble for it. But in the end, it fell into my hands. They chased you because you possessed the blood of the evil god? Yani asked. At the same time, a wave of confusion passed though his heart. Blood of the evil god. Innumerous people fighting over it. If it were really such an uproar, how come I had never heard of this? Even the two words evil god were news to me. Also, things like the ancient true gods actually exist. hmp actually daring to snatch my possession. It's like they're simply asking for a death wish. Jasmine's eyes emitted a glint of malice and spoke with hatred. Only after I had acquired this blood of the evil god was I able to find out that the power hidden inside was entirely different from my expectations. There wasn't even a trace of destructive power. If one injected it within themselves, it would only forcefully change the structure and attributes of the profound veins and even erase all the built-up strength in the old set of profound veins. Everything would have to start from scratch. That is all. Afterwards, the profound strength would still have to be trained by oneself bit by bit. At the very least, what people expected about the power of the true god was fundamentally not there at all. In fact, it was nothing more than a mere trace of the evil god attribute. At most, it ought to be a little bit more powerful than an ordinary profound vain. I definitely couldn't afford pay the price of having all of my current powers erased just to use this blood droplet of the evil god. But using it on you, it seemed like it couldn't be more fitting. Jasmine moved her finger and made the tranquil droplet of dark red colored blood hover in front of Yani's chest. Your profound veins were broken from the start, and your profound power amounts to nothing. After infusing you with the blood of the evil god, your profound veins will be quickly reborn into the evil god's profound veins. Although, I couldn't feel much power from this blood droplet of the evil god. There still could be a chance that it'll grant you some kind of special power from the evil god's profound veins. Even if not, you wouldn't stay as a good for nothing anymore." As she spoke, Jasmine's eyes suddenly flashed and brightened as she lowered her luminous snow white wrist. Her delicate fingertips suddenly stimulated the blood of the evil god to float a drift and pierce into Yanchi's chest. The pit of Yani's chest immediately split open to reveal a blood stain, and the sinister scarlet blood droplet touched Yani's overflowing blood as if it were attracted. In a flash, it entered Yani's body. The moment the dark red drop of blood entered Yani's body, tens of blood stain-like crimson lines wildly fanned throughout his body, originating from the blood print in his chest. The lines spread across his whole body in an instant. His chest, hands, legs, face, ears, and even pupils were now full of blood colored channels that looked like demonic markings. Uggh. At that instant, Yani felt as he was stabbed by tens of thousands of blades. Immense agony fiercely beamed from every single corner of his body and made him let out a painful whine. His entire body started to shake tremendously as his vision also became blurry until it completely became a shade of crimson red. A wave of pain emanated from a force digesting the insides of his body. Yani knew the human anatomy like the back of his hand. The parts that were being digested was doubtlessly his broken profound veins. The function of profound veins were to hold profound strength. So even if there were no profound veins, a person could still live and just won't be able to cultivate even the slightest amount of profound energy. Although profound veins do not affect one's life and death, it still was a part of the body. The broken profound veins continuously being eaten away was not unlike internal organs that were being slowly ripped apart and shredded. And one could only imagine that degree of misery. Jasmine had just said before that this drop of evil god's immortal blood would devour the previously present profound veins and give birth to new profound veins. Since my profound veins are being devoured right now, then it meant that Jasmine wasn't lying earlier. If it really can form a new set of profound veins, how could I not bear this little bit of pain? The indescribable pain continued. It was a pain that no real word could express. A pain that far surpassed a human's capability to endure. This pain continued and continued on. The devouring speed of the broken profound vein was extremely slow. At this rate, it would at least take half a quarter of an hour to finish. I don't need anything like the evil god's power, nor do I need a profound vein stronger than common people. If I could just get the same profound veins as everyone else, I won't have any complaints. Even if it's a little weaker, if that could come true, even if it's 10 times more painful, I would still definitely do it. Terrifying pain made all the nerves in Yoni's body fiercely spasm. But in his heart was a haze of tranquility or even excitement. As Jasmine forced the evil god's blood into Yoni's body, her lips curled up and revealed a very gleeful smile at his agony. recalling the memories she obtained from this drop of immortal blood, she knew it would start to forcefully devour the original profound vein the moment it entered the body. And while devouring the profound veins, the process would be as if one's profound vein was being cut off, minced, cut off, minced over and over again. This was undoubtedly an inhumane torture. An ultimate kind of pain that would even make the world's strongest beings roll on the floor and shriek. Did you think I would really just forgive you for sullying my body with your eyes earlier? This blood of the evil god would indeed grant you new profound veins, but it'll also bequeath you with the most brutal punishment in mystead." Jasmine cruy smiled as she saw the red demonic marks all over his body. As she saw his eyes suddenly turned crimson, as she saw his whole body tremble, as she saw his face contorting in pain. Slowly, her smile chilled down and disappeared. and what replaced it was an face that expressed an everinccreasing shock. His four limbs trembled, his whole body spasmed, and his facial features were more so bunched up together in contortion. On his forehead, bean-sized beads of sweat slid down in a terrifying fast speed. It was impossible to imagine how considerable the pain must be for the body to react in such a startling fashion. However, aside from that first moan, Yani didn't utter a single sound of pain afterwards. Not even a single trace. As time ticked away 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, Jasmine's expression eventually changed into complete astonishment, devouring the profound vein. Under such frightening agony, he actually still didn't let out a single roar of pain. Sweat already permeated through Yungi's entire body as every spot of his skin and flesh trembled in pain. Yet, between his clenched teeth, the fact that no sound had escaped was extremely shocking. In his distorted face, there actually hid a little excitement. He obviously ought to be in enough pain to wish for death as an escape. How could this reaction be possible? How could he, a common man with a broken, profound vein, have such daunting willpower? Wrong. Was this really the willpower a human could possess? That kind of pain, even if it were my father, would not even be able to bear it as leisurely as he is. This ordinary mortal man, a person fused with sky poison pearl. What exactly is he? At this time, Jasmine realized in her shock that she had entirely and unfairly looked down on him, his body was weak, and his profound strength was meager. But at this time, he exhibited a terrifying willpower that was at a complete disparity with what he had. Before, she had always wondered why the sky poison pearl, being one of the heavenly profound treasures, would actually fuse with such an inferior and lowly human. But now she had started to feel that it seemed the sky poison pearl didn't actually lose its spirituality. Nor had the sky poison pearls spirituality gone mad. Half a quarter of an hour went by. At this time, the demonic marks all over Yoni's body suddenly twinkled with red luminescence, and his contorted face finally started to slowly ease down. The profound veins devourment had finished. What had followed was the construction of the new set of profound veins. From the areas that had been devoured, he felt the growth of the new profound veins, and the growth speed was extremely fast, over 10 times faster than the speed of devourment. The hollowed feeling from just before was quickly replaced by a new feeling of fullness, and the pain he had experienced also dissipated like the ocean's tide. His sweat no longer flowed, and his muscle spasms stopped. Even his expression became calm. Yani closed his eyes and remained motionless. If one looked carefully, they would see a gentle smile hanging from the edge of his lips. In the quiet stillness, Yani switched on his inner vision and joyfully looked at the rapidly growing profound veins in his body. At this moment, he had lost any doubt of Jasmine's words. The rebirth of profound veins. This unimaginable miracle had clearly and truly took place in his body. A human's profound veins starts growing from the time of birth and reaches maturity at around the age of 14. However, his newly born profound veins were like bamboo shoots after a spring rain and completely developed in less than 2 minutes. The fully shaped profound veins size and shape were all the same as in Yani's knowledge of a human's profound veins. At least he couldn't find a single disparity when using his inner vision. Under his fidious senses, the locations of the 54 profound entrances were quickly found. Even the distribution and sensations were no different than an ordinary person's profound veins. At the same time, out of the 54 profound entrances, a total of 11 opened. Speaking from the standpoint of talent, it was a little above mediocre. Among them, there contained not the slightest amount of any hidden profound strength, the zeroth level of elementary profound realm. There was none of the so-called power of the evil god, nor were there any different attributes. It was absolutely the most ordinary of profound veins. But Yani didn't even possess a sliver of disappointment. His heart was overwhelmingly ecstatic with joy, and his blood boiled within his entire body. Because these were perfectly complete, reborn, profound veins without the slightest degree of any scratch or any damage. This meant that he could finally graduate from being an eternally useless waistl that couldn't advance further than the first level of the elementary profound realm. Despite being still far from his goal, his pledge to make the entire Xio sect kneel before him in under three years was no longer as difficult as reaching the heavens. Grandfather, little aunt, I'm finally no longer a useless trash. If you knew about this, you would definitely be overjoyed. Wait for me. In under 3 years, I'll definitely return to your side, then never let you suffer humiliation and oppression ever again. I'll make those people who mistreated you pay the cost hundreds of thousands of times more. Yani howled loudly in his heart. At this time, the crimson colored demonic marking stopped shimmering and instantaneously vanished altogether. Along with it, Yani finally opened his eyes. How does the reborn profound vein feel? Jasmine narrowed her eyes that glinted like a star. During this period of time, she had thoroughly observed him for a while now. He was only 3 years older than her and should still be considered a half-grown child. Other than his pretty good looks, he had nothing else worthy of note. But how could he possess such a horrifying willpower? Had he actually experienced hell before it really succeeded? Yani tightened both of his hands into fists as he said that with excitement. Right after, his tone changed and said with confusion, "However, are you sure this is the so-called profound veins of the gods?" It clearly wasn't any different when compared to regular profound veins. "How many profound gates were opened?" Jasmine didn't answer his question, but questioned back. 11," Yani answered. Jasmine's eyes flashed with a glimpse of disappointment. Then she said in an indifferent tone, "What I obtained by losing my body and almost even dying ultimately only gave you a small advantage in the end. But on your body, this extent is probably the limit." Did you think just anyone would have the qualifications to dabble with the power of gods? If you want to unlock the special abilities of the evil gods profound veins, then you must open all 54 profound entrances. Had it innately opened with over 20 profound entrances, I would still be able to help you achieve it in 30 years. But with 11 innately opened profound entrances, even if you gave me a hundred years of time, it would still be impossible for me to do. Open all 54 profound entrances. Had this kind of words entered someone else's ears, their mouth would have promptly become a gape due to shock. For 54 profound entrances to be all opened, it would have to be the heavenly gods spiritual veins from the legends. In the Blue Wind Empire's thousand years of history, there existed not even one. Yet Yani's expression was very calm and instead looked at Jasmine with an unusually curious gaze. Are you sure that it would work if all 54 profound entrances were open? And let me see. As he finished speaking, Yani lifted his left hand, held it against his chest, and muttered, "Sky poison purification." Sky Poison Pearl instantly emitted a beam of dark green light dissolved into Yanchi's body and went through his newly born profound veins. The number of innately open profound entrances essentially decided the height one could reach during his entire lifetime because it was extremely difficult to open profound entrances post-natally. Extremely advanced miraculous medicine, chance and luck. Not even one of these factors could be absent. Using external forces to open profound entrances would be accompanied by extremely high risks that even the slightest mistake would cause irreparable damage to the profound veins. In the profound sky continent, over 99% of profound practitioners did not have any additional profound entrances opened. But what kind of existence was the sky poison pearl? With its unparalleled purifying power, clearing the closed profound entrances was as easy as flipping over the palm of a hand, and it wouldn't even carry even the slightest amount of risks. At that time, in the floating cloud city, he had used the silver needles to inject the sky poison pearls purification power into Zia Kingu's 54 profound entrances. Not only did he open all of her locked profound entrances, all of the innately opened profound entrances were also purified, making her profound strength impeccably pristine without the slightest hint of impurity. However, Zia Kingu was somebody else, and using sky poison pearls purifying power on others had to be a little troublesome no matter what, which resulted in him being tired to death after every time. But purifying his own profound veins was as easy as playing with one's own fingers. Under Yi's guidance, the sky poison pearls purifying power made a trip through every single of his 54 profound entrances with ease. Yani could almost hear the se sound of the closed profound entrances opening. Not even half a minute later, all of the newborn profound veins 54 profound entrances were opened. All right, all 54 profound entrances are open. Now what? Yani said with a relaxed expression. After he finished speaking, he had not heard a word from Jasmine for a long time. However, as he lifted his gaze, he found that Jasmine's starry eyes were wide open, and the gaze that watched him was as if she were looking at an oddly shaped monster. "Sky Poison Pearl unexpectedly had this kind of ability," said Jasmine in surprise as she stared at Yungi's left hand. Strictly speaking, it's not solely the power of the sky poison pearl, said Yani with a face full of pride. Even without the sky poison pearl, as long as we find the purifying medicine, I can still find a method to open all my profound entrances. Only the time and effort I have to put in would be many times more. You, Jasmine eyed him suspiciously. Didn't I tell you that I was an exceptionally skilled genius doctor? As a genius doctor, it's a given that I have full knowledge of the ins and outs of the human body. I am overly familiar with profound veins. In my lifetime, I've opened thousands, if not tens of thousands of profound entrances. Before the passing of my teacher 3 years ago, never once have I failed to open any profound entrances. It also happens that even the highest grade of medicines can't compared with the sky poison pearls purification ability. using its powers to open my profound veins was no more than just a simple matter. Yani spoke in a very relaxed manner, relaxed to the point that one could not even see any self-confidence or arrogance, as if he was narrating something extremely common and trifling. However, Jasmine unexpectedly was incapable of producing any suspicions at the bottom of her heart. She stared at Yani for a long while, then finally said in a low voice, "What a weird fellow. However, did you think that you're amazing just with all the profound entrances open? Your foundations alone are already far behind any others. Yanqi didn't mind Jasmine pouring cold water on him and asked directly just before you said that after opening all the 54 profound entrances, its unique ability would be revealed. But why do I not feel any change? Carefully examine your current profound veins once more. Jasmine replied. A Yani shut his eyes and started to look within his new profound veins. All 54 profound entrances had been opened. Although it was empty inside the profound veins, the odor was incomparably clean. Yani attentively investigated, and then he started to have an inharmonious feeling. In the next second, his focus was firmly locked on the center of the profound veins. The profound veins inside a human body was like a robust and mature tree with many branches spreading out in all directions. And on each branch laid a profound entrance. As for the trunk, it was the most important core position of the profound veins, the base of all the profound veins. On this base, there were no profound entrances. However, at this moment, he astonishingly found out that on the core position of his profound veins actually appeared seven imprints similar to profound entrances. Furthermore, it assumed in the arrangement of the seven stars of the Ursa Major T L Ursa Major is the Big Dipper. Although they were shaped like profound entrances, they had a different kind of feeling when compared to ordinary profound entrances. They had a dull color and the location in which they appeared at immediately shattered Yani's knowledge and caused him to be surprised beyond words. "How come there are seven additional profound entrances?" Yani asked in astonishment as he opened his eyes. No, those are not profound entrances, Jasmine said faintly. Those are used to activate the seven realms of evil god arts, the seven gates. Gess, it was Yani's first time hearing this term. The profound veins that the immortal blood bestowed upon you, has indeed no difference in other aspects when compared with normal profound veins. However, the main difference lies in that evil god's exclusive profound art that it carries, the evil god arts. This profound art has in total seven big gates. It does not need to be cultivated or anything but rather just exists within your profound veins. Every time the evil god arts have increased by a realm, one of the gates will open. No, it should be said in reverse. Every time you open a gate, the evil god arts will be increased by a realm. At the same time, in every realm of the evil god arts, there will be a corresponding formidable evil god's profound skill. Do you understand if I say it this way? Jasmine slowly explained. Yani. Of course, Yani did not know the general concept of profound arts and profound skills. In the profound sky continent, almost half of the profound practitioners have pure profound strength instead of profound arts. Profound arts are split into different categories, but none could strengthen profound energy directly. Some could change the attribute or channeling of the profound energy. For example, the frozen cloud arts of the frozen cloud Asgard when used transformed the profound strength into an ice cold aura. The higher the realm of the frozen cloud arts, the colder the profound strength and profound energy. Rumors say that when trained to its peak, one could instantly seal everything in ice within hundreds of kilometers. Similarly, the burning heaven secret arts of the Burning Heaven clan, one of the four major sects, could also change the attribute of the profound strength. But it was the exact opposite of the frozen cloud Asgard. It could change into a burning hot profound energy and profound strength. When trained to the peak, rumors say that one could use their hands to melt weapons. There were also some profound arts that were not put to use for profound strength, but instead are used to assist in the training of the profound strength and etc. For example, there was a sinister yin-yang combination art which allows men and women to raise their profound strength through sexual intercourse. Profound arts are usually inherited and passed down in sex or family, but were never divulged to the public. Thus, those wandering profound practitioners usually do not have profound arts. The Xyro clan also did not have any traditional profound arts. The only things their ancestors had left behind were just a few weak profound skills and nothing more. As for profound skills, as the name implies, it was a skill that uses different methods to execute a greater power using one's profound strength. Some profound skills require specific profound arts on one's body in order for it to be executed. So, this means now I can use the evil god arts that you mentioned? Yani asked in wonder. That's right. Jasmine nodded her head. Your profound veins are still empty now, so you couldn't feel it. But once you have profound strength, you will naturally feel the existence of the evil god art. You also said just now that this evil god art did not need to be cultivated, and every time I open a gate, the evil god arts would increase by a realm. In that case, how do I open a gate? Yani inquired. He had never come into contact with the concept of gates in the past, so he did not dare to be reckless. Also, if its method of opening was similar with the method of opening profound entrances, then he could effortlessly open all of them in a short period of time, allowing the evil god arts to reach the highest realm in an instant. In the hands of others, it was considered to be impossible. But in his hands, it was truly as easy as turning over one's palm. That's very simple. A thousand times much simpler than you opening all the profound entrances. Jasmine started to smile and as she smiled very strangely, the contents of her comparison caused Yani to be even more stunned than usual. It belongs to your profound veins. So if you want to open it, it will naturally open. If you wish for it, you just have to use your imagination and all seven gates will open. Just have to imagine it and then all the seven gates will be open, letting the evil god arts reach its highest realm straight away. However, as he saw the indisputably dangerous smile on Jasmine's face, Yani of course did not dare to believe what she had just said and feebly asked. It's<unk> that simple. That's right. It's that simple. However, the result will be very terrifying. You will die instantaneous explosion from within your body and die. Jasmine said in a low voice. Yani's mouth slightly opened. The attribute of the evil god arts abilities are classified as berserk. The first realm, evil soul. The second realm, Burning Heart. The third realm, Purgatory. The fourth realm, Rumbling Heaven. The fifth realm, Hades. Jasmine's voice paused there, prompting Yani to ask impatiently. Then, what about the sixth and seventh realm? Why would I die once I use it? This princess also has no idea about the sixth and seventh realm. In the memory imprint of that drop of immortal blood, it only recorded up to the fifth realm. Thinking about it, it's probably because when the evil god left the drop of immortal blood behind, he believed that with a human's body, opening the fifth realm would be the limit, unless one is seeking death. Otherwise, it would essentially be impossible to open the sixth gate at any time. Therefore, he did not leave any information about the sixth and seventh realm because every time you open a gate, the evil god arts will increase by a realm and accompanying it will be a sudden increase of stress that your body would not be able to bear. If you force the evil god arts to reach a realm that you're incapable of handling, in light cases, your body would suffer serious damage and your vitality would be heavily injured. In heavy cases, your profound veins would explode and your body will disintegrate as it shatters into pieces, resulting in death. With your current body, even if it's just opening the first gate, you would immediately explode and die. It's that scary. What's the meaning of the berserk attribute of the evil god art? What level do I need to be at to be able to use it? Yani asked. Jasmine rolled her eyes as a scornful look flashed across her delicate face. Don't you think that you're asking this question way too early? You have just gotten your new profound veins without even a single strand of profound strength, and you're already dreaming of reaching the heavens in a single step. Okay, you are right. Yani had no retort, nor did he continue to question closely as he shifted his focus away from the gates. He took a deep breath. Even though it's quite late, I will definitely not let these profound veins that came from the evil god go to waste. I will immediately begin to cultivate right now, gruel. As soon as Yani brimmed with determination, an untimely growl came from his stomach, instantly dispersing all the grandeur he gathered just before. He had not eaten for an entire night and afternoon. Thus, his stomach was already rumbling with hunger. Since you're so familiar with profound veins, you do not need this princess to teach you how to enter the elementary profound realm. This princess must now return into the sky poison pearl. You are not allowed to disturb this princess within the next 3 days. Previously, Jasmine had suffered from the rebound effects of the deadly poison after repeatedly using her profound strength. Although the rebound was being suppressed by the sky poison pearl at the moment, it still allowed the deadly poison to infiltrate further into the soul. If it did not get purified by the sky poison pearl, it could even spread to the origin of her soul. And by that time, even the sky poison pearl would be unable to save her. Please wait a while. I still have a few questions I want to ask. You keep referring to yourself as this princess. Could it be that you're a royal princess of some empire? Hey. Hey. Before Yani had even finished asking his question, Jasmine's body had already disappeared as it turned into a scarlet light and entered the sky poison pearl. Although he was hungry, he could no longer go back to San Forest Town. Xyro Quangian and his gang probably have already found out about Xyro Ba and Xio Jiu<unk>s horrible deaths and would inevitably link their deaths to him. If he were to meet them with his current body without any profound strength, he would at least die 10 times. After a moment's time of careful consideration, he surveyed the mountain range that extended outwards to who knows where. While lightly gritting his teeth, he hastily walked towards the opposite direction of cyan forest town. The road of profound cultivation in this lifetime will start off from this scarlet dragon mountain range. Yani sat in place and closed his eyes. A few breaths later, his expression became completely tranquil as his heart emptied. In addition to the pangs of hunger, his excitement and rashness from receiving the new set of profound veins also completely faded away. His mind and consciousness were all centralized in the middle of the new set of profound veins within his body. Due to his two lifetimes of cultivating in the ways of the profound, he no longer needed another's guidance when progressing from zero to hero. The first wave of profound strength in the profound veins came from one's vitality. Precisely by slowly pulling one's vitality bit by bit into the profound veins, it would slowly transform into a sparse profound energy. Once the profound veins were filled to the brim with this sparse profound energy, it would be the first official step into a profound strength of the elementary profound realm. Practitioners with mediocre talent generally required around half a year for this process. Practitioners with great talent could complete it within 3 to 4 months. Once this extremely important foundation was completed, one could then continue to further cultivate by absorbing the vitality from the sky and earth. There was no way around this process because only after officially entering the elementary profound realm would one have the ability to use their profound vein to absorb the vitality of the heavens and earth. In the midst of silence, strands of elementary profound energy started to condense in Yanqi's profound veins. With all his 54 profound entrances opened, the vitality from his body influxed from 54 directions all at once. Its speed was as fast as one could imagine. Before Jasmine had entered the sky poison pearl, she had told Yani not to disturb her within 3 days. However, she had not expected that after she awakened from her slumber, 7 days had already passed. After falling fast asleep inside the sky poison pearl for the past 7 days, the negative after effects from using her profound strength previously had finally been completely eliminated. She looked toward Yani from inside the sky poison pearl and let out a faint a sound of surprise from her pink lips. After a while, scarlet dragon mountain range waterfall between the mountains. On the wall of the mountain that was about 2 to 300 m, a gigantic waterfall rushed down and crashed into the pool below, causing mist to rise into the air. The enormous deafening sound was like the rumbling of thunder which traveled far and wide. At the edge of the waterfall, a topless barefooted youth was currently walking step by step towards the screen of water that looked like it was falling from heaven. All his profound strength was being released without reservation, whilst protecting his head and his back. His figure seemed especially minuscule under this gigantic screen of water. Although the height of this waterfall wasn't too ridiculous, the force of the water crashing down was still enough to easily smash one's body into pieces. However, the youth continued without a care and walked toward the huge boulder that the waterfall had been smashing on for who knows how many years. When Jasmine left the sky poison pearl, what she saw was exactly this scene. She took a look at the height of the waterfall and her moonlike eyebrows faintly rose. Boom! The impact of the huge current collided ruthlessly onto Yani's body, breaking apart his weak, profound energy defense instantly and smashed him ruthlessly into the violent and churning pool. A hot and searing pain enveloped Yani's whole body as his entire upper torso turned completely red. In the corner of his mouth, a frightening line of blood leaked out. However, there was not a single trace of retreat nor fear in both his eyes. Panting heavily, he floated up from the churning waters and used all of his strength to resist the heavy current as he climbed up the shore with difficulty. The blow of the waterfall caused quite a bit of damage to him. And by resisting the current and swimming to the shore, he nearly exhausted the last of his energy. However, he did not fall down and pant after he climbed up the shore, but instead once again walked toward the boulder under the waterfall with his swaying body. He then focused the strands of feeble profound energy, the last of his profound energy, and gathered it above him to protect his head. Already at the first level of the elementary profound realm, he is actually that fast. Looking at the tiny profound energy Yani was releasing, Jasmine was amazed in her heart. In just a short span of 7 days, he actually officially stepped into the first level of elementary profound realm. This speed, even among the people she knew, was enough to startle another. It was clearly a mortal body, and before his new profound veins had activated the evil god's secret arts, it was no different from an ordinary person's profound veins. What method did he use to enter the elementary profound realm within such a short span of 7 days with the body of a human? Even if all the profound entrances were opened, it would normally take at least a month. However, to actually challenge this kind of waterfall at just the first level of the elementary profound realm. This was clearly a death wish. And after getting heavily damaged by the waterfall the first time under the condition of nearly having all his profound strength rooted, he barely had any rest before stepping toward the waterfall once more. Jasmine rushed over and yelled in a charming tone of voice. "Are you wishing for death?" Yani heard Jasmine voice and in his footsteps paused for a while. However, it was only a short while for he continued to walk toward the waterfall. Boom! The last of the remaining profound energy were immediately dispersed without question. And in an instant, over a dozen tiny wounds split open on Yani's back. As his vision turned black, he spew a big mouthful of fresh blood from his mouth and then smashed into the churning waters once more. "How truly reckless!" Jasmine frowned. In a flash, she rushed toward the direction in which Yani was swept away, ready to throw him ashore. Soon enough, Yani's silhouette floated up to the surface of the water. But when she came closer to Yani and was about to pull him up, she instead heard a horse and weak yet determined rejection. Do not help me. Yani<unk>s face that floated out from the surface of the water was white as paper. The scars on his body was a horrifying sight. As he opened his eyes halfway, his gaze seemed to be lax, yet at the same time extremely sober. He actually didn't lose consciousness. Jasmine retracted her hands and her heart was amazed once more. Wrong. According to his previous condition, if it was an ordinary person who took that impact, there was no way possible one could remain sober. As she looked at him, Jasmine suddenly wondered, "Was possible that he was using only his willpower, as if his life depended on it to stay conscious? It's impressive enough that you did not lose consciousness. Are you sure you can come ashore?" As he wished, Jasmine floated above him and did not give him a helping hand. After she finished her sentence, as if she suddenly remembered something, her face flushed and she quickly retreated in a frightened sort of manner, she continuously withdrew in a straight line, her two small hands simultaneously pressing downwards on herself until she was quite a distance away. Only at this moment, it was evident that Yani's attention was obviously not on her. If he was in his normal condition, he could still resist this kind of current. However, to the himn now, this rapid current was undoubtedly a nightmare. He squeezed out his nearly exhausted profound veins and raised his practically numb arm. As he unwaveringly resisted the heavy impact of the current against his body, he proceeded to slowly swim ashore bit by bit. A few breaths later, the muscles in his arms and shoulders began to convulse. This was the natural reaction of the body when one had completely depleted their strength. Under this situation, the arms were already fundamentally impossible to be lifted and could be considered to be more or less disabled. The scars on his back grew larger as they slowly split apart. As blood cascaded downwards without stopping, Jasmine's heart grew more and more apprehensive as she continued to watch this scene. For even her previously clenching hands involuntarily loosened, however, both of Yani's arms began to raise and move, and his body gradually approached the shore. It was impossible to imagine where he had squeezed out that energy from when it was clear that his body had reached its limit. For his strength was completely depleted, and even his consciousness ought to have scattered. Perhaps it was not strength that propelled his body forward, but willpower. An incomparably frightful willpower. Under Jasmine's blank gaze, Yungi once again climbed back ashore. At that moment, Jasmine's heart shuddered as if she had just witnessed an incomparably large world war. Just when she'd thought Yani would faint after being this weak, she instead saw him sway about as he stood up once again. He could actually still stand up. Yani, who had stood up once again, walked in Jasmine's direction. His footsteps were extremely slow, and with every step he took, his body would sway violently with the possibility of collapsing any time. He continued to walk onwards for over a dozen steps before finally stopping to a halt. It was then that Jasmine discovered a small pool in that direction. The pool was obviously man-made and was no longer than a meter. Its interior was filled with a black liquid. Yani entered the black pool and sat down with difficulty until his entire body, aside from his head, was submerged in the black liquid. It was then that Yani closed his eyes and finally lost conscious. Jasmine landed from the air and watched the unconscious Yani with a complicated expression. The pool was obviously dug by Yani, for there was a large spread of assorted items near its surroundings, most of which were different kinds of herbs, perhaps with over 20 types of different varieties. Among them, the item with the highest quantity was a pile of pitch black branches and leaves that looked like dry firewood. The odor it gave out was extremely similar to the one the pool let out. Jasmine casually picked up a root, placed it at the tip of her nose, and took a light sniff. Immediately her complexion slightly changed. Demon skull vine. He actually soaked himself in this. So he used this type of method in a short span of 7 days. No, maybe even less than 7 days to forcefully push himself into the elementary profound realm. Jasmine stared at Yani's face in silence. His soft and immature face was proof that he was indeed only 16 years old. Yet how was it possible for him to achieve this level? Could it be that he really had experienced hell before? 2 hours later, Yani woke up to see Jasmine floating beside him. The moment he opened his eyes, she coldly looked at him with her little face. Once she saw him opened his eyes, she immediately pressed down as if it was her conditioned reflex. "You've been continuously doing this these past few days?" Jasmine opened her mouth and asked, "More or less?" Yani straightened his still powerless body while the wounds on his back were more or less healed. In the pool, there were not only the demon skull vines present, but also the herbs he'd personally picked, which were used to make the best of recovery fluids. "Are you not afraid of sudden death?" Jasmine's face became somewhat chilly. "I won't let myself die." "Absolutely not." Yani lightly laughed as he said that with complete self-confidence and determination. Jasmine smiled disdainfully. "You overestimate yourself. Did you think that there will only be water in that waterfall? If a boulder somehow had gotten mixed in, fell and smashed on your body, your body could snap into two halves. I want to know for what reason are you so desperate? Because I need to have a strong enough power. Yani looked up halfway in the pool and slowly said, "If I had enough power, my master wouldn't have been forced to die. My family wouldn't have had to suffer humiliation either. Previously, my profound veins were crippled. Thus, I had no qualifications to pursue strength. Now the heavens. Oh, that's not right. It was Jasmine who gave me a brand new set of profound veins. So, of course, I had no reason to continue to be lazy and negligent. And you, my little master Jasmine, you opened your mouth, and the first thing you wanted me to do was to reach a realm that no one in the entire Blue Wind Empire had ever reached before in a mere 30 years. For your sake, how could I not be desperate? Yani's method of cultivation was very simple, but also very extreme and very frightening. Using the waterfall's immense power of impact, he completely scattered his own profound energy while also withstanding a substantial amount of trauma that was being dealt to his life force. Then under this near burntout state, he exploits and teared apart the limits of his body and profound strength. Because toppling the limit also means advancing a step further. However, during this process, even the slightest trace of inattentiveness would result in immediate death. Afterwards, he submerged himself inside the medicinal liquid made from demonic skull vine. The demonic skull vine contained an acute poison and would also intensely stimulate the body. After Yani lost his consciousness, the cells on the surface of his body would still continue to spasm, contract, and invigorate under the stimulation. This sped up the healing process and forcefully pushed his body a step further, breaking its limits. As for the poison carried by the demonic skull vine, Yanchi, who possessed the sky poison pearl, wasn't daunted by it in the slightest. This was essentially how he had passed these last few days. He trained with his life on the line using this extreme method as if he was a suicidal madman. Hmp, if you are this desperate, I naturally won't stop you. So, how long are you planning to stay here and train? Jasmine said hottily with her charming voice. Of course, it'll be until I've conquered this waterfall, Yani said with determination as a glimpse of resolution flashed across his eyes. If I can't even conquer a mere waterfall, what qualification do I have to conquer my goal? All right, then this princess will observe how long you'll need to conquer this waterfall. But before that, Jasmine's petite face turned to the side at this moment, and her cheeks revealed a hint of bashfulness. "Immediately, go buy a new set of clothes for me, including underwear, outerwear, shoes, and hair ribbons." "Is that really necessary? I think your current attire looks pretty good," Yani evaluated Jasmine from the top to bottom and said with a serious face. "If you don't go and buy them, I will get angry." Immediately, an icy cold aura filled with killing intent began to seep out of Jasmine's body. Fine, I'll go after I finished recovering my profound strength. Yani adjusted his seating in the medicinal pond. While calming his heart and breath, he felt the once again completely empty profound veins slowly becoming satiated. A short while later, he suddenly asked, "Jasmine, before you entered the sky poison pearl last time, there seemed to be a question that you didn't answer me. Where did you actually come from? Are you an imperial princess from some kind of empire?" Jasmine stood up and said with a flat complexion. I of course am a princess, but not some kind of imperial princess. As for where I came from, that is a place you wouldn't know even if I had said it. From this place, it's extremely far away. From Jasmine's mannerism, she clearly did not want to completely answer his question. Yani thought for a little bit and said, "If it's that far away, why did you come to floating Cloud City? Was it that you were forced to escape there because of the people chasing you?" Jasmine's petite and cute eyebrow promptly sunk and said coldly, "All of the people who chased me are already dead." But I didn't expect that they actually had this kind of taboo poison. I was actually poisoned unawares. As for the reason why I came to this place, it was to find the five evil gods secret grounds mentioned in the memories of the evil gods blood. Amongst them, one of the evil gods secret grounds location was vaguely around the Blue Wind Empire's eastern area. As I was searching for it, the acute poison became active. The rest of the story, you should already roughly understand. Evil gods five secret grounds. Yani had a face full of bewilderment. The evil gods memories had mentioned that this profound sky continent was created by the evil god at that time. On this profound sky continent, he had five places of refuge. Before his downfall, he left five seeds in these respective five places. It also clarified that. Jasmine took a glance at Yani. Only those who had inherited his power would be able to find them. That means only we will be able to find them. A wave of excitement hit Yani and he hurried said, "What exactly are those five seeds? Are they powerful? And how am I supposed to find them?" HMPH, how could I know? But since it's something left behind by the evil god, how could they be powerless? However, the you right now should better stop having these extraneous thoughts. the evil gods secret grounds. The level of strength in the surrounding area will certainly be outrageously high. How would you be able to touch or even go near it? Someday, when you're able to arrogantly look down upon the entire Blue Wind Empire, think about it, then Jasmine said those words like an elder proud of one's wisdom and experience. Yani could only shut his mouth, collect his thoughts, and quietly recover his profound strength. 7 days had went by and there was essentially no chance of Xioangjian remaining inside Cyan Forest Town. Yani brought out a new set of clothes from the sky poison pearl changed and then went back to Cyan Forest Town with only one goal in mind to buy a new set of clothes for Jasmine. But in the end, Yani returned empty-handed. It was because the process went like this. Jasmine, har these clothes, they seem to look pretty good. Don't want it? I'd never wear anything purple. Then how about this one? How could the dresses in this place be this crude? How can this princess wear something so unrefined? This is only a remote town, and the clothes from this shop could be considered the most luxurious. It's the same if you just put up with it. I'd rather not wear anything than to wear something crude like this. I don't want any of these clothes. Wait until I've conquered the waterfall, then I'll be heading to New Moon City. There should definitely be better clothing there. If you don't want the clothes here, we'll have to buy them then. hmp or let's get some panties first. You're seeking death. Want to bet if I'll kill you right now? Unknowingly, 4 months had suddenly passed by. Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range Waterfall in the mountains. The season had already quietly entered wintertime, for the waterfalls water began to progressively become more and more bone chilling. However, a youth was actually standing under the waterfall during this period of time. His upper torso was exposed, and his eyes were tightly closed as he let the violent flow of ice cold water frantically stream down his body. Yet his face didn't falter, as if he was rooted there like a unyielding boulder. In his body, profound energy desperately surged to defend against the water flows impact until the last hint of profound energy was completely squeezed dry. Boom! The youth's body started to waver some. Then when it finally was incapable of bracing itself anymore, he crashed into the torrential pool of water. Climbing out of the pool onto the bank with difficulty, Yanqi brethed heavily, walked to the small new pond he dug out, and submerged himself. He then snatched up a few black colored herbal medicine pellets that were beside the pond, and stuffed them in his mouth. They were lowclass profound recovering pellets synthesized from the iron sand vines he collected from the surrounding area. They could slightly boost the recovery rate of profound strength for a period of time. After consuming the profound recovering pellets, Yani took a long sigh of relief, closed his eyes, and entered a state of meditation. 54 profound entrances were all open, and quickly recovered the profound strength severe deficit. These few months he had always stayed at the edge of this waterfall. He tore open his limits again and again, and at the same time, no irreparable damage or wounds had been dealt because of the demon's skull vines liquid immersion. Jasmine looked at him from afar in complete silence. Regarding Yani's suicidal method of cultivation, she had already gotten used to observing it. She had expected that the young would only be able to endure this degree of training for a few days. But what made her utterly astonished was that for an entire 4 months, he did the same thing every day without relaxing a single day. However, this insane cultivation was definitely not because he had lost his mind. Whenever he felt that his body's burden or damage was too much, he would promptly return to soak in the demon's skull vine's medicinal pond to slowly let his body recover and strengthen. As time went on, the amount of demon skull vine he collected everyday increased more and more, and the demon skull vines extracted liquid became thicker and thicker. The concentration was high enough that a profound practitioner at elementary profound realm would immediately die after being submerged for a mere 5 or 6 seconds. An hour and a half later, Yani opened his eyes and jumped out of the small pond. He wiped his body, grabbed the leftover roasted bunny from his previous meal, and started to wolf it down. This time's perseverance lasted 23 seconds, a slightly improvement compared to last time. Jasmine came to his side, arms crossed in front of her petite chest, as she unemotionally said that at this pace, in another 1 and 1/2 months, you'll be able to break through to the fifth level of elementary profound realm. This speed can be considered as not too shabby. Starting from zero, he reached the first level of elementary profound realm in 7 days. The second level of elementary profound realm in a month, the third level of elementary profound realm in 2 and 1/2 months. And 10 days ago, he had also reached the fourth level of elementary profound realm. This speed was not just not too shabby. Even within the all the history of profound cultivation of the Blue Wind Empire, this speed was qualified to be considered as something that had never been seen before. Yani's 54 profound entrances were entirely opened. He was well acquainted with the structure of the human body, the constitution of profound veins and cultivation process when training in the ways of the profound, adding on the immense grind that ignored day and night as if his life depended on it. The possibility of having this kind of astonishing speed was in no way just an exaggeration. As of now, not only was his profound strength incomparable to the state it was at 4 months ago, his body also became excessively resilient. However, the increase in protective profound strength was only a small part of the reason. The bigger reason was that he took the impact from the water and soaked in the demon skull vines juice for a countless amount of time. Although his profound strength was only at the fourth level of elementary profound realm, perhaps his body's strength may not be defeated by profound practitioners at the sixth level of elementary profound realm. Ooh, then when will you teach me profound techniques? You've already named yourself as my master for 4 months, but still hadn't taught me anything? Yan Chi unclearly said as he was eating, you clearly knew about the basics of training in the profound, so you obviously didn't need me to teach you anything. Jasmine stiffened her face and assumed a look with a master's imposing dignity. What you currently need to do is to consolidate the elementary profound realm. After you've broken through the elementary profound realm and enter nent profound realm, I will naturally teach you profound techniques. As she had spoken until here, the expression in Jasmine's eyes suddenly fluctuated, and her voice also dampened. Someone is coming. Wouldn't people come here often? Yi said casually. There are five people altogether. Their profound strengths all at the sky profound realm. And one of them is already half a step into the emperor profound realm. Jasmine slightly knitted her brow as her voice faintly stiffened in heavy concentration. Whi almost bit his tongue as he yelled without composure. Sky profound realm at this little cyan forest town scarlet dragon mountain range. Why would profound practitioners at the level of the sky profound realm appear? The sky profound realm was situated at the pinnacle of the blue wind empire. It was something that only a person of character like Chu Uli would be in and usually received the idolization of many, a transcendent existence. Half a step into Emperor Profound Realm was at the 10th level of Sky Profound Realm's apex. Yet there was a supremely strong being whose only half a steps distance away from the Emperor Profound Realm. This strength was an ultimate existence that had sufficient enough power to touch the title of the Blue Wind Empire's top 10. These kind of characters are generally born from those enormous sects of long influential standing. Even within those enormous sects, their positions would be extremely high, for they were fundamentally impossible to be seen by ordinary commoners. Why would they appear in such a remote area? Not only that, it was five of them at the same time. This sort of lineup would be enough to generate a huge uproar no matter where it appeared in Blue Wind Empire. Appearing in this small and remote place could only be described as inconceivable. Yani lifted his head and saw the five black dots from the northern skies fly toward him in a single glance. After reaching sky profound realm, one would be able to practice the profound floating technique and fly through the sky. Unquestionably, these five people were just as Jasmine said. They truly were super strong practitioners of the sky profound realm. The flight speed of these five people weren't fast. For only after a long time elapsed did they finally pass above Yanqi. When they noticed that someone was watching them, two people among the group slightly shifted their gaze downwards and glanced at Yani. But they only took a glance at him and then retracted their gazes. The other three didn't even bother to look at him. A person that was only at the elementary profound realm simply didn't meet the qualifications to have their direct attention or concern. After they flew further away, Yani slightly contemplated and then promptly made a decision. He immediately put away all the medicinal materials he had collected these few days into the sky poison pearl. He then changed his clothes and started to run in the direction that those five strong practitioners of the sky profound realm flew towards. What are you doing? Jasmine asked while knitting her brow. Of course, trying to catch up with those five people, Yani quickly said without stopping his footsteps. Don't tell me you want to catch up and beg for them to accept you as their disciple. Jasmine spoke with a callous tone. How would that be possible? I already have Jasmine as my little master. How could I fancy others? Yani immediately threw out some flattering words. Then he flashed a grin and said, "The most likely reason that powerful people at Sky Profound Realm actually appeared here would be because they're here for some sort of profound beast. It's likely to be a highlevel profound beast, too. Or else, it definitely won't need five strong practitioners at the level of sky profound realm to strike together. Highlevel profound beasts have treasures all over the bodies. If they are capable of killing it, they would unquestionably acquire an exceedingly amount of tremendous rewards. Then how do you know that they're not just passing by? Jasmine spoke while looking at him with the side of her eyes. It's very simple because the speed of their flight is slow. Slow enough that even I would able to catch up. No matter traveling or treasure hunting, their mood should be very imperative and their speed shouldn't be as slow as this. Hence, the best explanation would be that they will be facing an extremely strong profound beast and their target is already very close. Thus, they slowed down their speed and approached cautiously, using this time to discuss and strategize. Even if it is so, what can you do after you've caught up? A profound beast that needed the cooperation of five sky profound practitioners must be a highlevel sky profound beast. That level of battle is fundamentally something you can't step a foot in. Are you heading there to become their cannon fodder? Jasmine said with quite a bit of disdain. If my presumptions are not mistaken and they also succeed in the end, I'll at least be able to off-handedly get something out of this, right? For an example, they may only take away the profound core, eyes, claws, and teeth of the profound beast. I won't believe that they would bring everything back without leaving a single trace of skin and meat," Yani said while his grin exposed his teeth. "You're such a wuss," Jasmine coldly snorted and said, full of contempt. The flying speed of the five people in midair became more and more slow. It was as Yani clearly hypothesized they were getting closer and closer to the target destination. Yani followed from afar, but he wasn't really all that anxious of being discovered. Because even if he was discovered, since he was only at the fourth level of elementary profound realm, they simply wouldn't bother to put him in their eyes at all and were probably too lazy to care. Violent nent profound beasts active ahead. Those below elementary profound realm level 10 must not enter. An aged warning sign appeared in front of Yanqi. The Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range was very big. And as one proceeds deeper into the mountains, the profound beasts become more and more ferocious. But overall, Scarlet Dragon Mountain Rang's profound beasts weren't all that strong. But they were still not something that profound practitioners at Yanchi's level could handle. Not after walking too far, more warning signs appeared in front one by one. Highle profound beasts active ahead. Below naent profound realm level five, please leave with haste. Along the way, Yani had bumped into a total of five warning signs. However, the last warning sign was labeled with blood red colored carved words. Scarlet dragon prohibited region. These were only four words, but they contained enough tension to make one's heart palpate. Everyone inhabiting Cyan Forest Town all knew that the area ahead was a taboo region that must never be stepped into. Because out of everyone who entered, none had ever returned alive. The five people above in midair had also stopped at this time, separated by a long distance, Yani faintly heard their conversing voices. Is it around here? Correct. That red colored region ahead should be the nest of that flame dragon. Are you sure that you've investigated the flame dragon's true strength clearly? MN 10th level sky profound beast. There should be no mistakes with senior elder here. There's no reason that we wouldn't be able to dispose of it. If we can obtain its fire attribute, profound core, then we could definitely let young masters burning heaven arts make another breakthrough. If successful in the next blue wind ranking tournament, we would have the confidence to press ahead of the Xyro sect and even frozen cloud asgard. Burning heaven arts. These four words made Yani feel a tremor in his whole body. These five people were actually from one of the Blue Wind Empires four major sects, Burning Heaven Clan. No wonder this kind of lineup could come out at the same time. They were actually people from one of the four major sects. One of them was even a senior elder, which meant that this arrangement of five people could be considered the core strength in the Burning Heaven clan. And their goal for coming here was sure enough for a powerful profound beast. The 10th level sky profound beast that came out of their mouths. Was it the Scarlet Dragon mountain ranges? Scarlet Dragon recorded in the legends. Seems like someone had always been following us. He's only an elementary profound realm's little brat. Probably because it's the first time he had seen the profound floating technique, so he recklessly followed us. HMPH. If he really wants to die that bad, there's no need to wait for the flame dragon to strike. I can send him on a trip to hell right now. Bothering with the likes of a brat in the elementary profound realm. Do you even care for your integrity? The inside of Yoni's heart suddenly went cold. Although he had been extremely careful following along the way, but evidently he was still discovered. After all, the other side were all in the frightening sky profound realm. Covertly breathing in, Yani's footstep retreated backwards, his heart developing a desire to back off. After all, at the moment, his strength was too weak. Weak enough to not have the qualifications to even go on an adventure. If he was slightly careless, he would have to pay with his life. As he stepped back a few steps and started to leave, his heart suddenly jumped. He could even faintly hear the the bodump sound that came from his heart. This is bottom. Bottom. The heart fiercely jumped again. In his heart, an inexplicable feeling suddenly surfaced to then became more and more intense. This feeling is Yani put his hand onto his chest. A baffled bewilderment appeared on his face. There's something calling for me. Yani turned around and looked toward the south. This incomprehensible feeling clearly came from that direction. This feeling was really subtle. Although it was a kind of elucory and whimsical feeling that could not be described with words, his heart could not even generate the slightest hint of doubt or resistance. "What's wrong with you?" Jasmine asked when she detected his abnormality in the sky poison pearl. "Over there? Something seems to be summoning me?" Yani said with a serene complexion while looking toward the south. summoning. Jasmine's voice was filled with surprise. It can't be wrong. It's right over there. Yani's eyebrows slightly knitted together. In the end, what kind of thing is it? Is it some special kind of bewitching technique? That's not right. Not only is the consciousness reacting, the profound veins are too. No, I must go there and take a look. The five people in midair had already proceeded ahead. If he kept on advancing, any profound beast that jumped out could end his life. If the Burning Heaven clans people discovered that he was still following, they may even think of him as a hindrance and kill him. After some hesitation, Yani clenched his teeth and took out the last star concealing grass and gripped it in his left hand. After releasing the grip, it had already turned into a crystal clearar star concealing pellet. Swallowing down the star concealing pellet, Yani's body immediately disappeared, as if it had turned into mist. Without shadow or form, Yani took open strides and quickly rushed forward. The minute he stepped into the scarlet dragon prohibited region, a wave of sweltering dry heat suddenly came across his face, making Yani lose his breath in an instant. Ahead was a small mountain that didn't look very tall. He hastily rushed up and stopped at the mountain top and looked ahead with knitted brows. In his view, there appeared a large chunk of a scarlet treadcoled region. In the middle of that region was a nearly 100 meter high gigantic cave. A barren environment without a single blade of growing grass. Strands of scorching white gas and ember spewed from the cracks in the ground and the caves from time to time as if it had just been scorched by heavenly fire. The five from burning heaven clan had also arrived above the top of the cave by now. The position Yani was now at finally allowed him to clearly see the faces of those five people. Four out of the five looked to be around 50 with a red flame embroidered on their cloth robes. As for the person in the middle, his beard was already completely white and his complexion was composed, but every part of his body was emitting a wave terrifying aura that made Yani suffocate. Five in the sky profound realms. The one in middle was the supremely strong practitioner who was already half a step into the emperor profound realm. For Burning Heaven Clan to send out such a shocking formation, it seemed like the flame dragon's profound core was indeed critically important to them. Looks like the information really was correct. Inside there inhabits a humongous, profound beast of the fire attribute. The middle-aged man on the rightmost spoke with a stern look. Don't act carelessly. This cave may have some unpredictable mystery and traps. It should still better to lead this flame dragon out of the cave. Then let me do it. The leftmost middle-aged man took a step forward and swung his right hand. Then a dark gold blade that was more than 3 ft long appeared in his clenching hand. Burning Heaven Clan's main weapon was a single-edge blade. Hence, one of their major profound techniques was called the heaven burning blade. As the heaven burning art was channeled, the blade ignited flames. As flames followed the blade, its power was extremely shocking. H ah. When the middle-aged man lifted the long blade, the sword's body was immediately lit up with a scorching flame as he ferociously cleaved downwards during his howl. Rumble. A solidly thick dragon-shaped flame flew out from the blade. Accompanied by a scorching heatwave and the whistling of the wind, it charged toward the front of the gigantic cave. As it crashed onto the ground with a thundering bang, the dragon-shaped flame suddenly exploded outwards. A crater over 10 m deep was instantly blown into the previously level ground, and a burnt aura dispersed in all four directions. Even the entirety of the gigantic cave slightly trembled a bit. Ro. Suddenly, a tremendously loud roar that was loud enough to cause the earth to quake and the heavens to tremble came from inside the huge cave. Although Yani was quite a distance away, both his ears immediately went deaf after hearing this thunder-like sound. Along with the sound of the roar, suddenly came a blazing light from deep within the cave. It was subsequently followed by the appearance of a pillar of flame tens of meters thick that rushed towards the five in the sky. Miles of the surrounding area became filled with waves of scorching hot air. Yani's face was immediately covered with a painful burning sensation. He was secretly surprised in his heart. It seems that the legend of the flame dragon turned out to be true. Even if it wasn't a dragon, it should be a fire profound beast of a terrifying level. Only the lowest level profound beasts inhabited this inconspicuous scarlet dragon mountain range. But surprisingly, it actually harbored this type of frightening existence. Move out of the way. The suddenly appearing pillar of flames had also surprised the five as they quickly dispersed in different directions while still in midair. The flame pillar slowly dissipated high up in the sky, only after leaping up for several hundred of meters. By that time, in front of the cave, the colossal silhouette of a dragon came into view. With a height that reached 100 ft and an entire body scarlet tread like red hot steel, its enormous wings and tail lit with a blazing fire. When the dragon lifted its head, its two scarlet tread eyes were full of prestige, and it actually spoke in human speech. audacious humans to actually have the impertinence to dare offend and breach into this king's territory. Its voice was heavy and rough, but even more so emanated a dignity that made one's heart palpate. The senior elder of Burning Heaven Clan stepped up and said with pretention, "I didn't expect that in this remote and no-name place there actually resided a dragon. Nevertheless, a flame dragon. However, with your noble body and compelling power, residing in this sort of place is far too humble of you. After we take your profound core, we'll definitely display your power at the pinnacle of Blue Wind Empire. What do you think? Burning Heaven Clan's senior Elder Fen Moly had on an arrogant disposition. He didn't chitchat for even half a sentence and declared his aim. His demeanor more so demonstrated that he was determined to win. As if the flame dragon's core was already in his pocket. from the profound energy the flame dragon was giving off. It should be a ninth level sky profound beast, no different from the gathered intelligence. However, he Fen Moly had already remained in the 10th level of sky profound realm for 7 years. As one who was half a step into the emperor profound realm, it was possible for him to strike down this flame dragon all by himself. And furthermore, there were four strong sky profound realm practitioners from the same clan right beside him. At the same time, their clan's profound art, the burning heaven arts, allowed them to be capable of suppressing profound beasts of the fire attribute. Fen Moly's words thoroughly ignited the flame dragon's temper at once. The flames from its wings and tail instantaneously burned with more vigor, and the temperature in the surrounding area sharply rose along with its rage. Insatiable humans, you will pay the ultimate price for your arrogance and greed. This king will incinerate you all into dust. As the furious flame dragon's wings flapped, its humongous flaming body took off into the air and charged straight at the five people in midair. Fight! With a low roar from the senior elder, the five people hastily dispersed at once, respectively at five positions surrounding the flame dragon. When flame dragon violently roared, five scarlet-colored flames suddenly shot out from its body like an explosion, turning into five dragon-shaped flames and gnawed toward the respective five people. The sweltering heat made Yunchi sweat in suffocation, even at a distance of over a thousand m. With the exception of Fen Moly, the other four were blown away by the five dragon-shaped flames when they hit their protective profound energy. Fen Moly forcibly scattered the dragon-shaped flames with profound energy, and with a roar, his body became an afterimage as it instantly approached the flame dragon's humongous frame in a flash. The long blade in his hands weaved numerous slashes that covered the sky as far as the eye could see to then make ears shattering sounds of colliding metal as the slashes rained down onto the flame dragon's body like a storm. The enraged flame dragon fiercely swung its body and the enormous dragon's tail smashed toward Fen Moly with destructive force. Fen Moly leaned backwards and in an instant erected protective profound energy to his front. With a heavy bang, the enormous dragon's tail violently crashed into Fen Moly's protective profound energy and broke the resilient protective profound energy into pieces as if it were made of glass. Fen Moly rapidly retreated backwards with a ghastly face and hastily yelled, "Its body is too tenacious. Don't come too near." As the other four sky profound realm powerhouses heard the voice, they immediately stopped and a long blade appeared in everyone's hands. Flames flared to top the body of their blades. Burning heaven blade. Seafaring flame dragon. Burning heaven blade. Thousand scorching suns. Burning heaven blade. Field burning slash. Burning heaven blade. Blazing sun burns clouds. The four were of the same clan and furthermore were bloodrelated brothers. They grew up together and trained in the profound together and thus they were awfully familiar with each other and their minds were synchronized. They raised their long blades at almost the same time and slashed toward the flame dragon from tens of meters away. The terrifying blade aura clearly drew ripples in space and pressed directly toward the flame dragon. A slash from the right, a slash from the left, a slash from above, a slash from below. The slashes sealed all of the flame dragons possible paths of advancement and retreat. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! The flame dragon's body was gigantic, making its movements not very nimble. The four blade auras all hacked onto its body and left four lines of very light marks on the surface of its body, making it somewhat lose its balance. Fen Moly's counterattack also all of a sudden struck. No one knew when he appeared above the flame dragon, but a tremendously heavy slash collided with the flame dragon's head. Ro. The flame dragon that felt the pain let out an enraged roar, and the surface of its body abruptly exploded with a huge ball of scorching flames. The instantaneous blistering heat wave pressed the five people back far, far away. Although their burning heaven arts allowed them to have a certain amount of resistance against fire, they couldn't resist all the fire. Not giving any breathing room for the flame dragon, they quickly pressed back after getting pushed away. The blade auras that seemed to even slash open space ruthlessly fell downwards onto the flame dragon's body again and again. Clang, boom, bang. Who? The sound of blade auras cutting through air. The sound of flames exploding. The earsplitting sound of collision almost resounded across the entire Scarlet Dragon mountain range as the low-level profound beasts in the surrounding areas ran a muck in fear. Small hills were slashed into pieces one by one. And even the ground became filled with countless fissures. Yani hid on a hill far away and watched the sky profound realm battle while holding his breath. This kind of formation and battle was rare even in the history of the Blue Wind Empire and at this time was actually being watched by him. A mere fourth level of the elementary profound realm. He didn't dare to go closer because either touching the flame dragon's fire or the burning heaven clan's blade auras or even the residue waves could undoubtedly take his life. The battle became more and fiercer as the surrounding air temperature continued to rise. The flame dragon's strength was unquestionable, but facing five opponents with similar levels of strength, it fell into a disadvantage from the very start. However, it still had the tenacious body that a human would never reach. So even if the Burning Heaven clans, five people, held the advantageous position, it was fundamentally impossible for them to do anything within this short amount of time. "It seems that sooner or later this flame dragon will be seized by them," Yani muttered in a low voice. "Then you've truly underestimated dragons," Jasmine said in an ice cold voice. "Although it is a mere low-level dragon, it nevertheless is a true dragon. Unlike false dragons such as the flood dragon and reptilian dragons, true dragons possess extremely high intelligence. They can even conceal their true strength to better protect themselves. These people are under the impression that it is merely a sky profound beast. As a result, they only brought out a person who's only half a step in the emperor profound realm. But unfortunately, it's nevertheless a genuine beast at the emperor profound realm through and through. TL flood dragon of legends that brings rain and flood Yi's entire face was full of astonishment at the moment. It's merely toying with its opponents in order to show weakness to the enemies and then pull the opponents into a certain death match. The moment it bears its true fangs, these five people with the person half a step in the emperor profound included should all not think of leaving this place alive. As Yani heard this, his heart chilled. This dragon was unexpectedly this insidiously cunning. As the fight became increasingly intense, the battle shifted toward the south, drawing them further and further away from the cave. It was obvious that the flame dragon was deliberately doing this to prevent the battle's repercussions from harming the cave it dwelled in. A cave. Yani's unwavering gaze immediately fixed onto the cave. It was indeed a true dragons, or even better was the cave that a true emperor profound dragon inhabited. It was not known for how long the name Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range came into existence, but it was unlikely to be as short as a mere h 100red years. This implied that the flame dragon had lived inside this cave for no less than a century's worth of time. Yet, a dragon's lifespan was far longer, so much that they may live a thousand years. It was not entirely improbable that they may even live past several millennia. A dragon was a noble type of profound beast, so there should be no way possible that one would willingly stay in such a common area. Perhaps there was a rare and exquisite treasure hidden inside this cave that made it unwilling to leave. Even if there weren't any, since it had lived here for such a long time, it probably ought to have shedded a fair amount of dragon's skin and scales. For anything that came off a dragon's body, even if shedded, were all still treasures. The current hymn was at the fourth level of the elementary profound realm. The resulting achievement he gained after a period of 4 months. Although that speed was sufficient enough to be astonishing, like before, his strength was still only situated at the bottom end of the Blue Wind Empire. If the inside of this cave actually contained some sort of rare and exquisite treasure, then it was inevitable that it would bring great benefits to his cultivation of the profound. After he took a quick glance at his current own invisible state, he suddenly clenched his teeth. Screw it. The largest amount of profit often are accompanied with the largest amount of risks. If one were to be afraid of the slightest thing, they would continuously let this opportunity that was at hand slip away. It would be impossible for cowards to ever scale the summit to the top. In addition, he felt a one-of-a-kind indescribable vague feeling that the thing beckoning him a while ago seemed to be inside this very cave. What are you trying to do?" the alert Jasmine asked when she saw Yani spring up all of a sudden with a luminous gaze in his eyes as he stared at the cave. "I'm about to infiltrate that cave to take a look. Since it is a dragon's lair, perhaps there may be some good items." Yani slowly reasoned. "Hmp. As expected, humans are all insatiable. Remnants of their battle are everywhere, so if you even get touched by a little bit of it, you would be dead in a flash. Do you really not care about your own life? Rest assured, with the hiding capability of the star concealing grass, even one at the Emperor Profound Realm wouldn't know any better. The present location they're fighting at is now far away from the cave. As long as I take a long detour around them, I'm sure that it's unlikely for me to be affected. Just a moment ago, this princess had told you that the true dragon possessed extreme intellect. Even if the middle of its cave indeed has some sort of treasure, it's certainly not an item that you can easily obtain. But Yani had already ignored Jasmine's discouragement as he carefully concealed his figure and odor. He passed through the left side of the mountain in a roundabout way and headed in the direction of the cave's entrance. Although hidden, Yani still didn't dare to be reckless and carefully moved closer toward the direction of the cave. After walking around at a considerably large right angle, Yani's feet stepped onto the scarlet colored soil. A wave of scorching hot heat immediately transmitted from below his feet, then quickly permeated his entire body and promptly gave him a feeling of standing on open flames. This flame dragon existed here for at least a century, and its power over fire had long ago turned this place into a world of the fire element. His current position was only about 1 kilometer from the intense fight between the flame dragon and the burning heaven clan. Yet this was already an extremely dangerous distance since the residue waves of their battle could easily spread to here. Yani's footsteps were careful, but his speed had not diminished at all. Jasmine had said this flame dragon was clearly hiding its true strength. If it sudden released its true strength and strikes down the five from burning heaven clan, not to mention profiting while taking advantage of the chaos, he would probably lose this life then and there. What's reassuring, however, was the fact that the flame dragon evidently didn't want its residents to be damaged. Not only did it purposely pull them away, it also tried to not let his attack power blow in that direction as much as possible. After Yani came around to the north side of the cave, he braced his mind and dashed toward the cave entrance with his utmost speed. As the cave got closer and closer, and after a few dozens of breaths of time, he had advanced to the point where there was only 33 m between them. Along the way, there was only an intimidating feeling, but no real danger. When the goal was close at hand, a huge wave of ember suddenly fell from the sky and covered a few square kilometers of land. These embers weren't very big, nor did they have much attack power. However, they were extremely concentrated and one of the pieces directly fell onto Yani's body. Immediately, Yani's shirt briskly ignited. As he took an attack, the star concealing pellets effect disappeared at once. However, Yani had reacted fast and dodged behind the huge boulder on his left in a flash. After he stomped out the fire on his clothes, his eyebrows completely sank. Drats star concealing pellets concealing effect would immediately be negated if he were attacked or touched by someone else. It did not matter if he rushed for the cave entrance or retreat back to the start. If he came out from behind the boulder, he would be easily discovered. But if he kept on hiding here, he'll be discovered immediately. All the same when the Burning Heaven clans people return. This time he had almost stepped into a realm of certain death. Boom! A ball of dragon fire that came from the flame dragon suddenly dropped from the sky, landing in an area not even 100 m ahead of Yani. With a loud crash, the dragon-shaped flame exploded, bringing a flare that reached the skies and a terrifyingly high temperature that could even almost melt rocks. The moment the flare exploded, the Yani behind the boulder suddenly widened his open eyes. chance. In the next moment, Yani shot out from behind the boulder like an arrow that had just left the bow. Using all his profound energy, he rushed toward the cave entrance with his utmost speed. The pillar of flare that soared up to the sky blocked the line of view of the flame dragon and people from the burning heaven clan. The huge wave of energy was enough to drown out his insignificant, profound energy. And furthermore, they wouldn't dare to be distracted during their intense fight. These few dozens of meters at this moment were undoubtedly a situation of life and death to Yanqi. He glanced at the dissipating flare with the corner of his eye and clenched his teeth, wishing that he could inject all of his willpower into his legs. When in danger, time seemed to have suddenly slowed down, and the cave entrance was also closing in very slowly. At the last span of distance, he abruptly breathd, kicked the ground with both of his legs, and pounced toward the cave entrance with a flying dive. The instant he entered the cave, the flare had completely disappeared. The fierce battle between the flame dragon and the five sky profound realm dwellers were also cleanly presented in his vision again. Standing behind the sizzling hot boulder at the edge of the cave entrance, Yani brethed heavily. His entire body was doused with sweat, and one couldn't tell if his face was red because of the heat or the excitement. Few finally made it in. Yani patted his chest and muttered to himself as fear still lingered in his heart. After somewhat composing his mind for a bit, he walked over to the interior of the cave with slow steps. Since the flame dragon had an enormous frame, naturally, the cave it resided in was also gigantic. Yani sharpened his vigilance and slowly strolled forward. The temperature inside was much higher than what it was outside. Every step that Yani took, a puddle of sweat would sprinkle downwards, evaporating into a white mist. The instant it met with the ground with a SSS SSS sound. The true depth of this cave was unknown. So, as Yani gradually went deeper, the light also became dimmer and dimmer. After continuing onwards for a hundred steps, a haze of red luminescence suddenly emerged from the area ahead. Yani's footsteps halted for a bit, then sped up again as he hastily walked toward it. As he saw the source of the red luminescence, both his eyes suddenly radiated a searing light. Fire spirit grass. A mature fire spirit grass was around 7 in tall with extremely shallow roots, usually had nine leaves and glowed in the darkness. It was exceedingly rare and only grew in areas with concentrated fire elements. At the same time, the fire spirit grass's growth speed was extremely slow and usually took more than 10 years to reach maturity and as a result caused the value of mature fire spirit grass to be remarkably high. Fire spirit grass could be refined into a fire spirit pellet and after consuming it, one would be able to resist a large degree of fire elements for a certain period of time. It could also temporarily change a person's profound energy which resided in the profound veins into one of the fire attribute without any harmful side effects of burning or injuring oneself. To profound practitioners who practiced fire attribute profound arts, the benefits it would bring were unmeasurable. And this hard to find extremely valuable fire spirit grass was actually growing here with an incredible total of 2 to 300 strains. Moreover, nearly 1/4 of them had already reached maturity. There was also a chunk of area behind that only had roots left over. It was obvious that these strains of fire spirit grass were the food of the flame dragon. The other reason why the fire spirit grass was valuable was due to the fact that it was extremely difficult to collect and store. Even the slightest amount of carelessness may cause the fire spirit inside the grass to all disappear. However, to Yani, this issue posed no problem at all. He extended his left hand and grabbed at the mature strains of fire spirit grass in a frenzy, easily collecting them into the sky poison pearl. Even a random strain of fire spirit grass could be sold for a very high price outside. However, at this time, they were being harvested in great amounts by Yanqi as if they were ordinary cabbages. Soon enough, more than 50 strains of mature fire spirit grass were all gathered into the sky. a poison pearl. Yani didn't even touch a single one that was not mature. He rubbed his palms together as a cry came from within the depths of his heart. I'm rich. If these were sold to the Burning Heaven clan through an intermediary, how much of a profit would come in? He would never have to worry about not having enough money to spend anymore. Yani took out a fire spirit grass that he collected and swiftly used the sky poison pearl to refine it. The fire spirit grass quickly shriveled under the sky poison pearls processing and in the end turned into a very small rubylike object. Yanqi didn't even bother to think before he threw it in his mouth. A searing feeling slid down his insides along his oral cavity, followed by the sensation of heat rapidly dispersing outwards from the inside of his body. In the blink of an eye, it propagated throughout his entire body. Afterwards, the scorching heat slowly faded away. At once, even the surrounding space was suddenly no longer burning hot. The sweat on Yani's body no longer streamed, and the stifling feeling of dry heat completely vanished without a trace. Yani's body felt considerably more relaxed afterwards. However, he still hadn't reached the end of the cave, so he quickened his footsteps and walked deeper inside. Not long after, a huge den of rock came into view before his eyes. When considering the size and shape, it was obvious that this place was where the flame dragon normally stayed and slept in. To Yani's disappointment, this flame dragon's den was considerably clean. Aside from the searing rocks that constructed the den, there was nothing else of importance. Rumble. An enormous rumbling sound suddenly came from the outside. Even standing in the deepest part of this cave, Yani still could vaguely feel a wave of heat rush toward his face. The flame dragon's heavy voice drifted in from the outside. Ignorant, insatiable humans prepare to receive the punishment you deserve. Right after that came the panicked voices of the burning heaven clan. Ah, what's going on? How did it strength suddenly? This This flame dragon is not a sky profound beast at all. It's clearly an emperor profound beast. It had concealed its true strength all along just to lure us to this place. This is bad. The intelligence was wrong. Retreat. Quickly. retreat. Jasmine's words perfectly came true. Sure enough, the flame dragon hid its true strength the entire time. And at this moment, it finally unleashed its true power. During the panicked cries of the burning heaven clan, the earth started to tremble. Even the entirety of the scarlet dragon mountain range was faintly trembling. Yani's heart abruptly became cold. Since the flame dragon had started to display its true power, it also meant that the battle may come to an immediate end. If he didn't leave now, there may never be any chance of escape. After that, 50 strains of mature fire spirit grass was already a large profit. Yani no longer hesitated and swiftly rushed outside with quick steps. However, only after dashing a mere three steps, his heart fiercely leapt. All of a sudden, his footsteps stopped along with it. "What are you stopping for? If you're not leaving now, are you waiting for the flame dragon to roast you into ashes?" Jasmine coldly yelled. Yani, however, gave no reaction to Jasmine's words at all. He turned around and with his hands on his chest, he stared blankly at the empty rock den. It's the same feeling as before, and this time it's really, really close. What exactly is calling me? Instead of fleeing at full speed, Yani walked toward the rock den until he had entered the den once again. The rate of his heartbeat had also suddenly accelerated. At this time, Yani congealed his gaze as he looked all around, and in the end, his gaze locked onto the rightmost corner of the den. The rocks here had all existed for a countless number of years, and were injurated and aged. However, there was one rock that actually looked to be untainted by even a speck of dust, and seemed to have been frequently moved around. Yani hastily walked over, pressed his hand onto the rock, and exerted his strength to move it. Accompanied by the sound of the falling rock, a dot of scarlet red light immediately appeared in Yani's line of sight. This was a very small and round bead, close to the size of a common marble. It had an ordinary ruby's sparkling translucence, but the radiance it emitted was far richer and more vibrant than that of a common ruby. As he looked at this red-colored round bead, Yanchi's heart suddenly, without reason, gave rise to an intense longing. Under the urge of this longing, he quickly extended his hands and reached for it. Don't touch it. There's a flame dragon's inflammatory imprint on it. Jasmine's warning was slightly late. As soon as her voice yelled out, Yani's hands had already grabbed onto the round bead. Immediately, as if awakened, the bead suddenly discharged an incomparably intense red light that was strong enough to envelope Yuni's entire body.
