At this moment, Song Qingxue no longer possessed the composure and arrogance she had when she first arrived at the Ye Family.
Instead, she appeared cautious and fawning, not only towards Ye Hao but also towards the Lin Shige sisters.
Although the Lin Shige sisters' cultivation realms were far inferior to hers, they had left a deep impression on her over the past two days.
Even though they were like ants in her eyes, when she was in a desperate situation, even ants could easily torment her.
Song Qingxue had lost all her temper. It was as if she had matured considerably in just two days. She couldn't help but recall her days in the Song Family and then think about her days in the Ye Family, the difference being like that between heaven and hell.
"Young... Master, is the pressure okay?" Song Qingxue asked cautiously.
Ye Hao's expression was indifferent.
Seeing this, Song Qingxue's heart skipped a beat. Filled with panic, she trembled and stammered, "I..."
"Just press like this," Ye Hao said faintly at this moment, his expression no longer indifferent.
Song Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief, but she could only continue to be cautious, not daring to make any excessive movements.
After about a moment, Ye Hao got up, returned to his room, took out Spirit Stones, and began to cultivate.
Facing Song Qingxue these past two days, her initial attempt to suppress him with her status had been severely countered by him, which had greatly cleared his mind.
He felt his cultivation realm loosening.
He was previously at the eighth level of the Qi Realm. After two hours of cultivation, Ye Hao's realm had advanced again, and he was now at the peak of the Qi Realm!
He was only one step away from breaking through to the Spirit Sea Realm!
To break through to the Spirit Sea Realm, one needed to compress their spiritual energy until it could no longer be compressed, and then rebound. The harder the compression, the greater the rebound, and the larger the Sea of Qi that could be opened!
Different cultivators compressed their spiritual energy to varying degrees when breaking through to the Spirit Sea Realm.
The more solid one's foundation and the higher the grade of their cultivation method, the more spiritual energy they could compress. This would result in a very large Sea of Qi being opened up upon breaking through to the Spirit Sea Realm!
Some people's Spirit Seas were like a single lake.
Others' Spirit Seas were like ten lakes, or even a hundred lakes!
Furthermore, with the spiritual energy being infinitely compressed, its quality and intensity would also differ.
Ye Hao was confident that if he broke through to the Spirit Sea Realm, even if he was only at the first level, he could crush experts at the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm!
However, his crushing power was limited to the cultivators of the Eastern Domain. The cultivation methods used by people in the Eastern Domain were of low grade, so he could overwhelm ninth-level Spirit Sea Realm cultivators across many minor realms.
If he were to face someone of the same realm from a more powerful force outside the domain, his ability to fight across realms would not be as exaggerated as it was now.
Especially in the later stages of cultivation, the gap between cultivators would become smaller and smaller.
After all, those who could cultivate to the later stages were powerful individuals, indicating that their cultivation methods were not low-grade and that they were Heavenly Prodigies of the Martial Dao.
But this was the Eastern Domain.
Even when facing people from outside the domain, Ye Hao was still very confident.
"Let's continue cultivating! The Spirit Stones I need to break through to the Spirit Sea Realm are not ordinary. Fortunately, my father gave me quite a lot."
Otherwise, even emptying all the Spirit Stones from all the forces in East Moon City would probably not be enough for him to break through to the Spirit Sea Realm.
It was too costly in terms of Spirit Stones.
Ye Hao cultivated with peace of mind.
Meanwhile, in the City Lord's Mansion, Song Nanyu of the Song Family was frowning deeply. He had sent a message to Song Qingxue a day ago, but she hadn't replied to him yet.
This made him very anxious, as he didn't know what had happened to Song Qingxue at the Ye Family.
Just then, his communication jade token moved. His expression relaxed, and he quickly checked it.
Then, Song Qingxue's voice sounded.
Song Qingxue: Uncle Nanyu, the Ye Family does indeed have a Sixth Realm expert.
Song Nanyu's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, revealing a complex look.
The Ye Family actually had a Sixth Realm powerhouse...
Originally, the Song Family's plan was to flatten the Ye Family directly if they didn't have a Sixth Realm powerhouse.
But if the Ye Family had a Sixth Realm powerhouse...
They would seek a marriage alliance with the Ye Family.
Song Nanyu then sent a message: "If we form a marriage alliance with the Ye Family, will the betrothal gifts from the Ye Family include mid-grade or high-grade Earth-tier cultivation methods? You should talk more with Ye Hao and try to obtain cultivation methods of higher grades."
Song Qingxue immediately replied: Okay.
Standing on either side of Song Qingxue were Lin Shige and Lin Shiyu. The sisters directly took away the communication jade token.
Song Qingxue fell silent.
One day later.
The top figures of the major powers in the Eastern Domain all knew that the Ye Family had a Sixth Realm powerhouse. They had all received the news from the Song Family.
Some suspected that the Song Family and the Ye Family had secretly joined forces.
In short, they were half-believing, half-doubting.
As long as the Ye Family's Sixth Realm ancestor didn't show himself, they would always maintain an attitude of doubt.
For a period afterward, the entire Eastern Region grew much quieter. However, with the Ye Family's Sixth Realm behemoth still not appearing, more and more people began to harbor suspicions.
The Song Family felt this most acutely, sensing that something was amiss.
Although Song Qingxue frequently sent messages saying that the Ye Family indeed had a Sixth Realm behemoth, and that this behemoth was simply in seclusion for cultivation.
As for the Song Family's previous request for cultivation methods of Earth-grade or higher as a betrothal gift, the Ye Family had refused!
The Ye Family's attitude was extremely firm!
They stated that the betrothal gift had already been given sixteen years ago, and there was no concept of giving another.
The Song Family also proposed wanting to meet the Ye Family's Sixth Realm behemoth, but they were also refused, with the Ye Family claiming their ancestor was in deep seclusion.
The Song Family later proposed wanting to meet the Ye Family's Spirit Gathering Realm ancestor, but they were also rejected, with the reason being that they were all in deep seclusion.
This made the Song Family quite puzzled.
If the Ye Family had no Sixth Realm behemoth, they could understand the refusal.
But they wouldn't even let them see the Spirit Gathering Realm cultivator.
They wouldn't even let them see the Spirit Sea Realm cultivator...
It made them inevitably wonder, did the Ye Family not even have any Spirit Sea Realm cultivators?
If they did, why would they be afraid to come out and meet them?
"Do you think Qingxue might be under control? Are her every word and action being controlled by the Ye Family?"
Song Yunfei, the patriarch of the Song Family, frowned in thought.
"There's a possibility," an elder from the Song Family said at this moment, his eyes deep, and continued leisurely, "It's best to have people from other forces go and test the waters. Our Song Family has two choices, and it's not good to directly antagonize the Ye Family."
The Song Family patriarch nodded slightly.
One day later.
A cultivator at the fifth level of the Spirit Sea Realm appeared in the sky above the Ye Manor.
The newcomer was a middle-aged man, dressed in a blue robe, holding a long sword!
His expression was stern, and he directly swung his sword towards the Ye Family!
As this sword strike was unleashed, a sword light, as large as ten adult men, formed a crescent-shaped dazzling glow. It carried a sharp aura and swept towards the Ye Family!
Just as it was about to approach the Ye Family's buildings, Ye Hao appeared.
Ye Hao's expression was calm as he threw out a punch. Terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations vibrated through the space, directly clashing with the crescent-shaped sword light!
Bang!
The crescent-shaped sword light shattered like fragile glass!
Then it dissipated into the heavens and earth.
Seeing this, the man in the blue robe's pupils contracted. He looked at Ye Hao in shock, "You can actually block my sword!"
He knew that Ye Hao was only seventeen years old and had previously shown the strength to kill cultivators at the Half-step Spirit Sea Realm.
