Whoosh!
It was a very faint sound.
What followed was a faint, humanoid white light.
Soon, the white light dissipated, revealing a handsome, dashing, and spirited young man.
The boy hovered in mid-air, his bright, starry eyes narrowing slightly as if he were simply gazing into the distance.
In reality, his divine sense was projected outward, observing everything around him.
The babbling brook, the occasional chirping of birds, the lush greenery, and the refreshing fragrance of flowers.
This place seemed like a paradise, so pleasant that it calmed the boy's heart.
As the boy slowly exhaled and was about to land on the grass, his eyes were covered by a pair of soft, jade-like hands.
Guess who I am?
Her voice was clear and sweet, with a touch of playfulness and liveliness.
The boy felt quite bored, and with a slight movement of his lips, he said, " Second Master!"
"Hehe! You guessed right! I never expected our starting positions would be together." Su Tanmeng's words were full of joy.
Xiao Yao nodded slightly. "I didn't expect that either, but it's fine this way."
Currently, his cultivation level is at the peak of the ninth level of the Quasi-Immortal King Realm.
The Second Master's cultivation level was at the fifth level of the Peak Immortal King Realm.
Based on their previous understanding of the cultivation levels of the intruders within the Mythical Tier Secret Realm, he and his Second Master could protect themselves without any problem as long as they didn't provoke Immortal King Titan or Immortal Emperor.
Su Tanmeng released her hands from Xiao Yao's side and simultaneously sent out a divine thought.
"My husband, I have a good idea."
Xiao Yao had a rough idea of what was going on, but still replied, "Okay, go ahead!"
"My husband, I will stay hidden in the shadows while you move forward in the open. This way, we can ensure our safety to the greatest extent possible," Su Tanmeng said.
Xiao Yao let out a breath; he knew his Second Master would think that way.
He had no objection to this.
In the current situation where we do not have an absolute advantage, playing it safe is an inevitable choice.
"Tanmeng, let's do it your way."
After uttering these words with his divine will, Xiao Yao closed his eyes and quietly sensed the energy fluctuations around him.
The greater the energy in a location, the better the opportunities it presents.
Conversely, the lower the energy level of a location, the lower the level of opportunity, or even the absence of opportunity.
This ability was acquired after his Immortal Spirit Eye advanced to the Immortal Emperor Tier.
A moment later, Xiao Yao opened his bright, starry eyes and sent a divine thought to Su Tanmeng.
"Honey, you just need to follow me from now on."
Su Tanmeng didn't understand what was going on, but she trusted Xiao Yao, so she used her magic to shield her aura, becoming as transparent as a person.
After confirming there were no loopholes, she looked at Xiao Yao was now just a dot in the distance.
"Honey, why are you walking so fast? Wait for me!"
Upon hearing this divine thought, Xiao Yao did not stop walking. He continued walking at his previous pace while simultaneously sending out his divine thought.
"My wife, I'm not fast; you can keep up with me in no time."
"From now on, just do things your way as before, and don't worry about me."
Su Tanmeng gave a soft "hmm," realizing that she was too concerned about Xiao Yao, which had disrupted her rhythm.
After a short while, once Xiao Yao was sure that his Second Master had caught up with him, he began to speed up.
Ten minutes later.
Xiao Yao stopped in his tracks. In front of him, a flower was slowly blooming.
[Ding! Reporting to the host, this is Fan Tian Immortal Flower of the Immortal King Tier. Its medicinal effects are at their peak when it first blooms. Simply consuming it can raise Immortal King realm cultivator by one minor realm.]
[If made into Fan Tian Immortal Essence Pill, it can raise one's cultivation level by two minor realms without any side effects.]
After a brief analysis, Xiao Yao decided that it would be best to give this thing to his Second Master.
Giving it to him wouldn't significantly improve the safety of either of them.
"How long until it blooms?" Xiao Yao wondered to himself.
[6 minutes and 4 seconds]
To avoid being snatched by other cultivators, he strode forward and quickly arrived at the location of the Fan Tian Immortal Flower.
At the same time, they prepared to harvest the flowers, harvesting them whenever the Fan Tian Immortal Flower were in full bloom.
However, the Fan Tian Immortal Flower, possessing a spirit, understood that it was in a weakened state after blooming and could not resist being picked by the young man before it.
So it stopped hiding itself and instead released its aura.
If a cultivator of similar or even stronger cultivation level as this young man were to arrive, it could escape in the chaos.
Xiao Yao felt the overwhelming energy rushing towards him, and he understood that this was the last stand of the Fan Tian Immortal Flower.
He then sent a divine thought to Su Tanmeng, whose whereabouts he didn't even know, " Second Master, get ready, cultivators may be arriving soon!"
Su Tanmeng softly replied with an "Mmm," her emotions completely unwavering, like a hunter in a silent forest, waiting for the moment to strike.
"Little Flower! Why did you have to take such a gamble?"
"Since you are so heartless, I will slowly torture you after I pick you."
Fan Tian Immortal Flower was very dismissive of Xiao Yao's words.
In its eyes, you are nothing more than a cultivator at the peak of the ninth level of the Quasi-Immortal King Realm, not the strongest in this secret realm at all. What right do you have to say such things?
Six minutes passed quickly.
The Fan Tian Immortal Flower has already revealed its stamens and will be in full bloom in 4 seconds.
At the same time, Xiao Yao sensed that there were many eyes watching him nearby, among them were cultivators of the same cultivation level as him.
They simply didn't show themselves, seemingly assuming he hadn't noticed, or perhaps planning to catch him off guard after the flowers bloomed.
Four seconds later.
Countless auras burst forth.
There were even shouts, "You brat, stop!"
But Xiao Yao was not afraid at all and calmly completed the picking.
The speed was so fast that the Fan Tian Immortal Flower, which was still basking in its self-satisfaction, was stunned. It never expected that the young man would ignore the other cultivators and deal with it first.
Without a sound, the Fan Tian Immortal Flower was taken into Xiao Yao's system space.
The Fan Tian Immortal Flower initially wanted to struggle, but it gave up the idea after sensing the terrifying power within the space.
Outside of system space.
"You brat, you actually dared to pick them! Well then, whichever hand you used to pick them, that hand will be chopped off."
As the gruff voice ended, a dark figure rushed in at lightning speed.
Xiao Yao took a closer look and saw that the newcomer's cultivation level was at the peak of the Peak Immortal King. No wonder he was confident that he could chop off his hand.
Such a minor matter naturally didn't require the Second Master's intervention.
He directly activated various immortal techniques to enhance his strength, with the Immortal Emperor Tier Spell " No-Self" as the lead.
In an instant, Xiao Yao's strength reached the level of an ordinary cultivator at the sixth level of the Peak Immortal King.
The middle-aged, burly man with gray skin stopped in his tracks after sensing the aura emanating from Xiao Yao. He said coldly, "No wonder you dared to pick them directly; you do have some skill."
"Then do you still dare to come and chop off my hand?" Xiao Yao asked deliberately.
The middle-aged burly man's face twisted into a grimace, as if a fight was about to break out, but the next second he said, "There are plenty of cultivators out there who can take care of you. Why should this Immortal King bother with such a feat?"
"You chickened out!" Xiao Yao suddenly exclaimed.
The middle-aged burly man roared, "I've never known how to spell 'coward' since I was born!"
"If you're not afraid, come on!" Xiao Yao revealed a very kind smile.
The middle-aged man realized he couldn't win an argument with the sharp-tongued youth, so he simply turned and left.
But in the next instant, a sword light struck without warning, and the middle-aged man's arm was chopped off.
Under the surge of Sword Qi, not even ashes remained in an instant.
Although for Peak Immortal King cultivator, growing another arm is very simple.
But it's not about whether an arm grows long or not; it's about how humiliating it is to have an arm chopped off like that.
The middle-aged burly man said coldly, "Uncle, stop hiding, cripple this bastard's cultivation."
Whoosh!
A soft sound rang out, and the aura of a seventh- Peak Immortal King swept across the area, turning the faces of the cultivators who had previously remained still to death.
They had no idea that there was an even more powerful figure behind the middle-aged man.
"Ah!"
A voice rang out, and the aura that had just swept across the entire area vanished.
What's going on?
None of the cultivators understood what had happened.
Only the middle-aged strong man understood that his uncle had been killed instantly!
He clearly didn't see the boy in front of him make a move, so there must be a powerful figure behind that boy.
To be able to instantly kill his uncle, one must at least be at the peak of the ninth level of the Peak Immortal King.
This is not a boy he can mess with.
Without the slightest hesitation, the middle-aged strong man knelt down on the ground with a thud and spoke in a trembling voice.
"Sir, I was blind! Please spare my life!"
