At the mention of Xiao Yan'er, Uncle Li could not help but sigh inwardly.

Back then, Xiao Yan'er had lost all her cultivation, unable to make the slightest progress for three years.

Everyone had concluded that Xiao Yan'er had become a complete and utter waste.

Even Qin Ming, Qin Jiuge's father, who owed Xiao Zhan a debt of gratitude for saving his life, had entertained the thought of breaking off the engagement.

Yet how long had it been? Not only had Xiao Yan'er regained her talent for cultivation, she had become even more terrifying than before.

In just three short months, she had already attained such strength.

When Qin Jiuge had gone to the Xiao Family back then, not only refusing to break off the engagement but instead offering help in the snow, holding up the sky for Xiao Yan'er, everyone had thought it an exceedingly unwise move.

But looking at it now, it was simply godlike!

Uncle Li even began to suspect that Qin Jiuge had known Xiao Yan'er becoming a waste was only temporary, and that she would rise again sooner or later.

Uncle Li could not help but admire Qin Jiuge to the point of utter prostration.

When everyone had looked down on Xiao Yan'er, Qin Jiuge alone had pushed aside all objections and preserved Xiao Yan'er and that engagement. He had also secured a virtuous helpmate for the Qin Family's future, while preserving the Qin Family's dignity and Qin Ming's reputation.

That move was simply incredible!

"Xuanming Secret Realm..."

Qin Jiuge paid no attention to Uncle Li's expression and murmured softly.

He sighed inwardly.

Xiao Yan'er truly deserved to be called a Child of Destiny... she had not strayed from the path at all.

In those novels, whenever a Child of Destiny entered a Secret Realm, they would obtain great opportunities and reap great rewards, their strength shooting upward as though riding a rocket...

If she entered a few more Secret Realms, the speed of her advancement would definitely become terrifyingly fast!

Qin Jiuge made a quick calculation. There was roughly one month left before the grand gathering of the Taichu Sacred Land began.

The Silver Moon Dynasty was not particularly far from the Qin Family.

A round trip would not take much time.

Since that was the case, he might as well make the trip to the Silver Moon Dynasty and have a look around—consider it a visit to his fiancée...

With that thought, Qin Jiuge turned to Uncle Li beside him. "Uncle Li, arrange a Flying Boat. I am preparing to make a trip to the Silver Moon Dynasty."

"As for accompanying personnel..."

Qin Jiuge considered it. As a dynasty in the secular world, the Silver Moon Dynasty's cultivators were relatively weak. It could not compare to an Imperial Clan like the Qin Family, much less a Holy Land.

Having Wuchang Supreme accompany him would be like using a butcher's cleaver to kill a chicken. Not only would it be more trouble than it was worth, it might also arouse Wuchang Supreme's dissatisfaction.

Although, as the Divine Son, Qin Jiuge knew Wuchang Supreme would not show anything, he still did not wish to burden a strong expert of the Supreme Realm. Thus, he changed his mind.

"There is no need to trouble Wuchang Supreme. Bringing two Dark Guard captains will be enough."

Uncle Li accepted the order and went off to make preparations.

Soon, a vast and magnificent Flying Boat slowly rose from the Qin Family and headed toward the Silver Moon Dynasty...

Within the Xuanming Secret Realm of the Silver Moon Dynasty.

Xiao Yan'er's figure streaked through the air like a flash of fire.

In the blink of an eye, her slender figure appeared atop a distant cliff.

A trace of joy appeared on her delicate face as well.

"The True Fire Profound Stamen is mine!"

The True Fire Profound Stamen was a spiritual herb of heaven and earth formed at the mouth of a volcano, absorbing the volcano's heat and gathering the essence of the sun and moon. It was immensely beneficial to those who cultivated fire-attribute techniques or possessed a fire-attribute Divine Body.

Xiao Yan'er had taken enormous risks to obtain this spiritual herb.

According to the Azure Emperor, with this herb, her chances of breaking through to the Dharma Aspect Realm would increase by thirty percent!

Just as Xiao Yan'er was rejoicing, an unpleasant voice rang out.

"You there, woman! If you know what is good for you, put down that spiritual herb and get lost! Otherwise, your little life will be forfeit!"

"That's right! Treasures of heaven and earth belong to the capable! Why should a little girl like you possess such a fine treasure?"

"Put down the spiritual herb now, or don't blame us for being rude!"

Below the slope, several youths dressed in brocade and luxurious robes looked up at Xiao Yan'er on the cliff, their words full of insolence.

They were all spoiled young masters from top-tier factions within the Silver Moon Dynasty, who had arranged to enter the Secret Realm for a trial together.

Now, upon seeing Xiao Yan'er obtain a spiritual herb, greed immediately rose in their hearts. They wanted to rely on their superior numbers to force Xiao Yan'er to hand it over.

Faced with their threats, Xiao Yan'er's face revealed a disdainful expression. Without saying a word, she attacked directly!

A fiery red streak shot forth like a venomous snake, striking at the young masters below.

"Overestimating yourself!"

"You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!"

"Get her! Kill her!"

Seeing that Xiao Yan'er actually dared to strike first, the young masters immediately flew into a rage, howling as they charged up the slope.

In a single exchange, sword light flashed in Xiao Yan'er's hand, and a head rolled to the ground, tumbling far away.

The remaining young masters were so frightened they fled in utter disarray, hurling threats even as they escaped miserably.

Watching their retreating backs, Xiao Yan'er's eyes brimmed with disdain.

Were people like them worthy of being called geniuses?

Truly revolting!

Only someone as astonishingly gifted as Qin Jiuge deserved the title of genius!

Over the next ten days.

Xiao Yan'er could be said to have stolen all the limelight within the Secret Realm.

Not only did she seize countless opportunities, she also killed quite a few young masters who came to rob her.

Little did she know that this high-profile behavior had provoked the factions of the entire dynasty.

Outside the Secret Realm, an unknown number of factions had gathered. The strongest among them were at the Dharma Aspect Realm, while most were still in the Spirit Sea Realm. They lay in wait outside the Secret Realm, merely waiting for Xiao Yan'er to emerge.

As a secular dynasty, the strongest cultivator in the Silver Moon Dynasty was only at the Nirvana Realm. This lineup was already considered quite good.

Inside the Secret Realm, Xiao Yan'er sat atop a huge boulder, happily fiddling with a Storage Ring.

By now, the Storage Ring was packed full of resources.

A smile appeared on Xiao Yan'er's face as she looked at them.

"With so many resources, I can take some out to congratulate Qin Jiuge on obtaining the Divine Son Position..."

The Azure Emperor curled her lips. "All you think about is your little lover..."

"You should think instead about what you will do after leaving the Secret Realm!"

"You have offended those people beyond all reconciliation."

At those words, Xiao Yan'er's face filled with disdain. "Those people call themselves geniuses, yet every one of them is greedy and vicious, arrogant and conceited. They were simply courting death."

"Killing them can be considered carrying out justice on Heaven's behalf!"

Then Xiao Yan'er changed the subject and coquettishly said to the Azure Emperor, "Besides, don't I still have you, Master?"

The previous few times Xiao Yan'er had been in danger, the Azure Emperor had taken control of her body with soul power at the critical moment, forcibly carving out a path of blood.

It seemed Xiao Yan'er still wanted to use that method to overcome this crisis.

Hearing this, the Azure Emperor smiled bitterly.

"Fine, fine. Taking on a disciple like you, I truly do not know whether I am fortunate or unlucky..."
