True God Peak!

The battle at Demon Extermination Holy City had fully concluded.

Cultivators from the various sects began to withdraw in batches.

Bai Ye bid farewell to the members of Wasteland Heaven Divine Sect and boarded the Azure Cloud flying vessel alongside the cultivators of Azure Cloud Sect, heading back toward Azure State.

His true identity remained under tight secrecy.

Aside from Sect Master Su Wenxuan and the Second Elder, the other disciples of Azure Cloud Sect all believed he was merely a Late Profound Comprehension elder of considerable strength.

They held respect for him, yet had no idea he was the True God powerhouse who had saved the entire Wild Domain.

The flying vessel glided steadily through the clouds. Su Wenxuan and the Second Elder exchanged a glance, their hearts tangled with hesitation for a long while before they finally decided to seek out Bai Ye.

The two arrived at the deck at the vessel's stern. Bai Ye was leaning against the railing, gazing into the distance at the mountains and rivers rapidly receding below.

Hearing their footsteps, he turned around, a gentle smile spreading across his face. "Sect Master, Second Elder, is there something you need?"

"Senior!"

Both bowed deeply in unison, their demeanor reverent to the extreme.

After all, in the cultivation world, precedence belonged to the one who had attained mastery.

Moreover, as things stood now, it was even uncertain whether this 'Bai Ye' was truly the same Profound Comprehension elder from their sect!

Bai Ye raised a hand in a light, warding gesture and said calmly, "No need for such formalities. In private settings, you may address me as before."

The Second Elder lifted his head, his eyes brimming with complexity and awe. "Bai Ye... Senior, forgive my impertinence in asking, but are you the mysterious senior who, a hundred years ago, struck down the Nascent Soul cultivators of the three great powers and saved Azure Cloud Sect?"

This doubt had been buried in his heart for a century. Now, having witnessed Bai Ye's terrifying strength with his own eyes, he could no longer hold back the question.

Bai Ye looked at their expectant gazes and nodded frankly. "It was me."

He paused, then added, "I have always been a disciple of Azure Cloud Sect. Back then, I acted only because I did not wish to see the sect destroyed."

"I want to cultivate in peace and would prefer not to reveal my identity for now. I ask that you both keep this secret for me."

"Rest assured, Senior! We would never dare breathe a single word!"

Su Wenxuan and the Second Elder nodded hastily, relieved smiles spreading across their faces.

Having received confirmation, the shock and gratitude in their hearts deepened.

At the same time, they secretly rejoiced and exulted.

For Azure Cloud Sect to have such a reclusive True God powerhouse—their future was surely destined to soar!

After returning to Azure Cloud Sect.

Bai Ye went straight back to Night Cloud Peak.

He set up layer upon layer of concealment and defensive arrays, completely sealing Night Cloud Peak off from the outside world.

He was about to go into seclusion.

He knew well that this closed-door cultivation would consume a long stretch of time, and he did not wish to be disturbed by any trivial matters.

Stepping into his exclusive Quiet Chamber.

The room had long been paved with Top-grade Spirit Stones to form a Spirit Gathering Array. Amplified by the God Transformation Tower's cultivation boost, the density of spiritual energy had reached a level rarely seen in the Wild Domain.

Even the sacred grounds of Wasteland Heaven Divine Sect were far inferior.

He first took out the golden Wasteland Heaven Sacred Body Pill.

The pill was warm and smooth to the touch, its surface shimmering with a Gilded Luster, exuding a pure, refining force.

Without a moment's hesitation, he placed the pill into his mouth.

It dissolved upon entry, turning into a warm current that was hot yet not scalding, sliding down his throat and spreading rapidly through his limbs and bones.

Wherever the warm current passed, his Divine Body seemed to be cast into a furnace for refinement. Every inch of muscle, every single bone trembled with minute vibrations!

His originally indestructible Innate Chaos Dao Body began a frenzied transformation under the nourishment of the medicinal power!

The meridians beneath his skin grew tougher, capable of bearing even more vast Divine Power!

Faint golden patterns surfaced on his bones, carrying a heavy force that could suppress all things!

Even his blood became more condensed, flowing with a faint rumbling like thunder.

At the same time.

Bai Ye activated the Chaos Sword Canon to guide the medicinal power, while the True God Dharma Form in his Sea of Consciousness operated in sync, absorbing every trace of excess energy.

For seven full days and nights, he remained immersed in the process of physical transformation.

When the last shred of medicinal power was refined, he slowly clenched his fist.

A terrifying surge of physical strength erupted, compressing the surrounding air instantly into a visible shockwave!

"With my physical body alone, I can contend with a late-stage True God!"

Bai Ye felt the surging power within him, a glint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, even without channeling Divine Power, relying solely on the strength of his Divine Body, he could shatter the defenses of a mid-stage True God cultivator with a single punch!

This is the terrifying effect of combining the Wasteland Heaven Sacred Body Pill with the Innate Chaos Dao Body!

After adapting to his explosively strengthened physique, he took out the two True God-grade treasures gifted by the Wasteland Heaven Divine Sect from his storage ring.

He probed his Primordial Spirit into them and instantly sensed the vast energy contained within the treasures!

It was a supreme-grade spiritual artifact essence far surpassing ordinary True God crystals, with spiritual energy purity reaching the Divine Origin level, and it also contained a trace of True God-grade Divine Rule power!

"These two treasures were most likely sent down from the Upper Realm."

"They should have been prepared for the True God cultivators of the Wasteland Heaven Divine Sect in the lower realm to cultivate with."

"Unfortunately, the Wasteland Heaven Divine Sect hasn't produced a True God cultivator in a very long time."

"Looking at it this way, I'm the one who benefits."

Bai Ye was pleasantly surprised in his heart.

The core problem slowing down his cultivation now was the insufficient quality of spiritual energy in the Heavenly Profound Continent.

The energy within these two treasures happened to make up for that shortcoming.

He placed the two treasures before him, activated his cultivation technique to guide the energy flow, and the pure Divine Origin streamed into his body like a trickling brook, transforming into his own Divine Power and nourishing his four Divine Origin Apertures.

This cultivation session lasted thirty years.

For thirty years, the formation on Night Cloud Peak never dissipated, and the clamor of the outside world had nothing to do with him.

Thanks to the Divine Origin in the treasures, the cultivation amplification of the God Transformation Tower, and the cultivation bonus brought by the Earth-grade Merit Golden Body, Bai Ye's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, steadily climbing from True God Fifth Layer to the peak of True God Ninth Layer!

At this moment, his True God Dharma Form had reached eight hundred zhang in height, clad in the Chaos Battle Armor, wielding the Dragon Slaying Sacred Sword, and the Divine Rule power swirling around him could now influence the laws of heaven and earth for a thousand li in all directions!

His nine Divine Origin Apertures operated at full capacity, his Divine Power so vast it seemed capable of drowning mountains and rivers, only a single step away from the Heavenly God Realm!

The day he emerged from seclusion.

Bai Ye dispelled the formation and stepped out of the Quiet Chamber.

His Primordial Spirit spread out, instantly enveloping the entire Azure Cloud Mountain Range.

Soon, he sensed the earth-shattering changes in the Azure Cloud Sect.

The spiritual energy in the mountains was several times richer than it had been thirty years ago.

The disciples' cultivations had generally seen tremendous improvement.

Many of the younger disciples had already reached the Primordial Core Realm, their brows carrying confidence and vitality!

Beyond that, the Azure Cloud Sect now had twelve Nascent Soul Realm experts stationed here!

Among them, the Grand Elder and the Second Elder, relying on the resources he had left behind, had successfully broken through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage!

Sect Master Su Wenxuan had also reached Nascent Soul Triple Peak, becoming one of the few top-tier powerhouses in Azure State.

The remaining Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were mostly younger-generation disciples who had broken through, their talents exceptionally outstanding.

This rate of development was nothing short of a miracle in Azure State and even the entire Wild Domain.

Forces from other neighboring states no longer dared to underestimate the Azure Cloud Sect, and many major powers even took the initiative to form alliances.

Furthermore.

The Bai Family had also received Bai Ye's covert support, their family foundation and strength leaping forward by a thousand li!

Now, the Bai Family alone had three Nascent Soul Realm experts, enough to rival the top forces of Azure State!

Watching his thriving sect and family, Bai Ye felt a slight sense of relief in his heart.

He summoned the Grand Elder and the Second Elder, and from his storage ring, he took out three Saint-grade Top-tier spiritual artifacts.

Then he brought out several bottles of Tribulation Crossing Realm pills and a pile of rare treasures, handing them all over.

"These are things I have no use for. Leave them for the sect."

Bai Ye handed over the resources, his tone calm.

As for the Bai Family, he had already prepared a separate share.

It was no less than what he gave the Azure Cloud Sect, if not more.

The Grand Elder and the Second Elder accepted the resources, their eyes filled with shock and gratitude as they looked at the dense spiritual energy emanating from them. They quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Senior! With these resources, our Azure Cloud Sect will surely reach new heights!"

Bai Ye nodded slightly, said no more, and with a flicker of his form, he transformed into a streak of light, flying out of the Azure Cloud Sect.

The Grand Elder and the Second Elder watched the direction he had vanished in, standing there for a long time, their eyes filled with reverence.
