The battle in which Liu Mingyue had challenged Ye Ming ended, and the Saintess of the Flying Immortal Sacred Land was taken away.
Even Long Hao, the Holy Son of the Ten Directions Sacred Hall, and Lin Jian, the Dao Son of the Azure Sky Dao Sect, died at Ye Ming's hands.
As time passed, the final outcome spread through the mouths of countless cultivators. Central Province was shaken, and the Three Thousand Dao Provinces boiled...
After receiving the news, countless young prodigies simply could not believe that someone branded a cultivation good-for-nothing could defeat three Peerless Prodigies. It was incomparably shocking...
"How is that possible? He actually defeated the Dragon God Physique and the Sword Body, and even took Saintess Mingyue away!!!"
"I saw the strength of the Dragon God Physique with my own eyes before. How could he have lost?"
"The Sword Body lost? Lost to that Imperial Son?"
When countless young prodigies first received the news, they simply did not believe it. In their eyes, although Ye Ming was the Imperial Son of the Primordial Forbidden Zone, he could not compare with some of the present generation's prodigies, much less defeat Lin Jian, Long Hao, and Liu Mingyue, three prodigies of this era.
Yet after cultivators who had witnessed that battle recounted it in person, they had no choice but to believe.
The name of the Primordial Forbidden Zone's Imperial Son spread ever farther throughout the Three Thousand Dao Provinces. Some wondered who among the current generation of prodigies could fight him.
"The Sacred Son of the Ancient Dao Sect, Cang Jundao, should be able to fight him!"
Someone put forth a name: Cang Jundao.
Among the prodigies of this generation, those three characters represented invincibility, supremacy among his peers. Even some renowned prodigies found it difficult to withstand a single move from him.
Rumor had it that he possessed the Star Physique, one of the three thousand physiques in the world—an unimaginably terrifying physique, far beyond what the Dragon God Physique and Sword Body could compare to. It was said that when he was born, starlight shone for thirty thousand li, and countless stars manifested and descended upon the Ancient Dao Sect. Once this physique reached great accomplishment, it was as though an entire universe lay within his body.
The moment those words were spoken, they won the agreement of quite a few prodigies.
"Needless to say, Sacred Son Jundao!"
"That is an invincible prodigy!"
At this moment.
Canggu Dao Sect.
Immortal Mountains stood in great numbers, immortal waterfalls plunged three thousand feet, ancient halls hung in the sky, and radiant Divine Bridges linked one Immortal Mountain and palace after another. Spiritual Qi was incomparably abundant.
Within this great sect, it was magnificent and spectacular.
"The Supreme Secret Realm will open before long. Jundao, you will lead the team there this time."
A voice rang out. It belonged to an Elder clad in black-and-white Dao robes, his beard and hair both snow-white. Though his aged figure was clearly right before their eyes, he seemed to stand beyond endless space and time.
He was a Quasi-Emperor named Gu Xuan, the Grand Elder of the Ancient Dao Sect. His gaze was incomparably sharp, ancient Dao Patterns blooming within his eyes and striking terror into the soul.
At this moment, he looked down at a young man standing below. His earlier words had been directed at this man.
"Yes, Master!"
Handsome and distinguished, his black hair gleamed brightly. He was a man like a Banished Immortal, tall and upright, heroic and imposing. Dressed in white, several strands of law power curled around him, dazzling beyond compare. His eyes were deep as stars, inspiring awe.
He was none other than the Sacred Son of this generation of the Ancient Dao Sect, Cang Jundao!
The Supreme Secret Realm was a secret realm containing every good fortune in the world. It had been created by a Supreme Being in the endless ages past, and within it lay countless divine miracles. It held incomparably great allure for true Peerless Prodigies.
Every opening of the Supreme Secret Realm would become a grand gathering for countless prodigies of the Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain, and a stage upon which many peak powers contended.
Within the Primordial Forbidden Zone.
After returning from the battle.
This was a grand hall, serving as Ye Ming's bedchamber.
Upon a cloud bed, Liu Mingyue's figure was flawless, her rising curves exquisitely contoured. Her skin outshone snow, her flesh and bones were like ice and jade, and her delicate body gleamed, bright enough to reflect a person.
She was like a green lotus in a pond, standing alone apart from the world.
Yet at this moment, her exquisite face was filled with terror, no longer calm and indifferent.
"Ye Ming, what are you doing? Let me go!"
"I swear, I will make your entire Primordial Forbidden Zone vanish into ashes!"
Liu Mingyue lay on the bed beneath a thin veil, half-concealed and half-revealed. Her voice was filled with terror, and despair appeared in her beautiful eyes.
"Hehe... Make my Primordial Forbidden Zone vanish into ashes? Are you worthy?"
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Ye Ming's cold laughter rang out as he walked over step by step, his face containing nothing but endless indifference.
"No! Don't come any closer..."
Liu Mingyue's delicate body trembled. The lofty white moon in the hearts of countless prodigies was now begging humbly for mercy.
Tears streamed down her beautiful face. She already knew the fate awaiting her. This was the Primordial Forbidden Zone, one of the strongest forbidden powers in the world. Even if she was the Saintess of the Flying Immortal Sacred Land, what did that amount to here?
"You challenged me. Since you lost, the fact that I did not kill you was already the greatest mercy I could show you!"
"The Cold Spirit Physique—I hear it is one of the finest cultivation furnaces in the world..."
Ye Ming smiled at the corner of his lips, his gaze filled only with coldness. Reaching out, he lifted the thin veil, revealing flawless skin, warm and smooth as jade...
At this moment, Liu Mingyu's cultivation had already been sealed. She had completely become a cripple, left to the mercy of others.
A night of clouds and rain...
As time passed, Liu Mingyue's Cold Spirit Physique was undoubtedly of enormous help to Ye Ming's cultivation.
This was a cultivation chamber, where the surrounding Spiritual Qi was so abundant that it seemed about to condense into liquid. Chaotic Demonic Qi permeated the area. At its center was a spirit pool, its water being the Flying Immortal Waterfall, one of the world's three great Divine Springs.
This spiritual liquid was useful even to Great Emperors. At this moment, Ye Ming sat cross-legged within the spirit pool, enveloped by dazzling Demonic Flames. Like a Demon God, his aura rose steadily higher.
His entire body was wrapped in brilliant radiance, like a true dragon. An incomparably terrifying surge of blood and Qi rose into the air; above the Ninth Heaven, wind and clouds changed color as thunder rumbled.
"The Cold Spirit Physique is indeed useful. In just a few days, it has allowed me to cross several realms in succession!"
Ye Ming's voice rang out within the chamber. With the slightest movement of his aura, the surrounding space shook violently.
Even some prodigies would need several years to break through a single Heaven at this realm.
But Ye Ming's breakthroughs now came as easily as eating and drinking. In a few days, he surpassed what others required years to achieve.
"The limit of the Ninth Heaven of the Divine Bridge Realm. Just one step more, and I can enter the Dao Palace Realm!"
The cultivation chamber was incomparably quiet. This was the most important place within the Primordial Forbidden Zone. Ordinarily, only Ye Ming and the Primordial Demonic Emperor were qualified to come here.
The aura of Ye Ming's breakthrough had not yet stopped. It continued climbing higher as he sought to enter the Dao Palace Realm in one stroke...
