Primordial Divine Hall

No sooner had he finished asking than the system's voice rang out again.

[Of course the Host can't see through them. Even Zhao Jiu, the second weakest from the bottom, has already reached the Heavenly Mandate Realm—five major realms above you.]

Hearing this, Ye Chang'an froze again.

He wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.

The good news was that the people of his Primordial Divine Hall were truly powerful.

The bad news was that his cultivation was only higher than Shangguan Eleven's.

"Right, where's my wife? At my current realm, I actually can't sense her presence."

[Host, your wife is in a higher world. With your current realm, you cannot sense her yet. However, the system advises the Host not to interfere in Ling Xianyue's affairs. This is a knot in her heart that she must cut through herself. The Host may rest assured—she is fine.]

Only after hearing the system did Ye Chang'an finally relax, though he still said to the several Elders:

"You know about my wife, Ling Xianyue, right?"

At this, the five immediately nodded in affirmation.

"Hall Master, we can sense that Madam is in the Primordial Yellow Ancient Realm."

Ye Chang'an had merely guessed that the five could sense Ling Xianyue's existence, since the system had said they were powerful.

He hadn't expected them to actually be able to.

At the same time, Ye Chang'an committed the Primordial Yellow Ancient Realm to memory.

"If necessary, lend her a hand."

Though the system had told him not to worry, Ye Chang'an still felt it was better to make arrangements.

As Hall Master, there was no reason not to use the authority he had.

"Yes, Hall Master."

Having received Ye Chang'an's orders, the five immediately agreed.

"System, doesn't the Primordial Divine Hall have something like a resource treasury?"

[Of course it does. As a supreme power, mere resources are hardly worth mentioning.]

"That's good. That way, Xinran can level up quickly. But she can't rely entirely on resources either—otherwise, how could she stand alone at the forefront among the geniuses of the world?"

Originally, Ye Chang'an had only hoped that Ye Xinran would be safe and happy. But now that he had the Primordial Divine Hall, everything was different.

It wasn't that Ye Chang'an wanted to put pressure on Ye Xinran. Rather, he had seen the things the system rewarded before. As long as Ye Xinran did not fall into depravity, it would be easy for her to become someone her peers could scarcely hope to match.

After all, with the system's rewards, so many resources, and practical experience added in, it would naturally be effortless.

Thinking of this, Ye Chang'an looked at the fifteen people before him and smiled.

"Little Ten, stay. The rest of you, go attend to your own business."

Very soon, the five Elders and nine disciples took their leave.

Seeing the puzzled expression on Shangguan Eleven's face, Ye Chang'an smiled.

"Come with me to protect my daughter on her path, and while we're at it, show them what a true young genius is. Let the world know the might of my Primordial Divine Hall."

His daughter needed experience, and he himself needed to rely on his daughter's leveling up to raise his realm. Thus, Ye Chang'an decided to protect Ye Xinran by her side.

"That's great, Hall Master. I haven't really felt like cultivating lately anyway."

Shangguan Eleven was delighted upon hearing this.

Ye Chang'an was baffled. "You don't feel like cultivating? As a genius, why have you become so unmotivated?"

Asked this, Shangguan Eleven felt somewhat embarrassed, as well as a little troubled.

"Hall Master, I was just discouraged by Ninth Senior Brother."

"Discouraged?"

Ye Chang'an already knew that Zhao Jiu was extremely powerful, his realm even higher than that of Ye Chang'an, the Hall Master.

But he could not imagine how Shangguan Eleven, also an unparalleled genius, could have been dealt such a blow.

"Yes, Hall Master. On the path of cultivation, I can't even see Ninth Senior Brother's back. The gap is far too great. But don't worry, Hall Master. I'll be fine after a while."

As Shangguan Eleven explained, his expression first showed envy, before he began smiling again.

Clearly, he had not been completely crushed by it.

Hearing this, Ye Chang'an did not know what to say. As Hall Master, he was a little better off than Shangguan Eleven. Well, he could see Zhao Jiu's back.

Fortunately, because of the system, no one in the Primordial Divine Hall could see Ye Chang'an's true strength.

"System, distribute the rewarded Primordial Divine Phoenix Body and Primordial Sword Heart to Xinran."

Halfway through speaking, Ye Chang'an suddenly remembered that he had yet to give Ye Xinran the system rewards.

"Little Ten, let's go."

After communicating with the system, Ye Chang'an left the Primordial Divine Hall with Shangguan Eleven.

Heavenly Desolation Continent, Eastern Domain, a forest.

A young girl in a white dress was hurrying along, determined to reach the nearest city as quickly as possible.

Just then, Ye Xinran suddenly sensed something strange in her body. A warm sensation instantly flooded her limbs and bones.

"Hmm? What's this?"

Ye Xinran immediately stopped, found a secluded spot, and sat down cross-legged.

Before long, a glow enveloped her.

In truth, she had not needed to find a place to hide at all.

Because at that very moment, two men were watching her from the void above.

One was nearly middle-aged, while the other was still a youth. Both wore white robes.

They were Ye Chang'an and Shangguan Shi.

"Temple Master, why didn't we go meet the Young Temple Master just now?"

Shangguan Shi asked.

"I also want to see what my daughter is like when she ventures out on her own—how she treats people, how she handles matters."

Ye Chang'an replied with a smile, his gaze gentle as he watched Ye Xinran surrounded by light.

Hearing this, Shangguan Shi nodded.

Soon, the glow faded away. Ye Xinran opened her eyes excitedly and felt the changes in her body. Now that her constitution had fused, her cultivation had directly risen by an entire major realm, reaching the Heavenly Spirit Realm.

Then a trace of confusion appeared in her eyes. "Why did I suddenly awaken a new constitution? It's so, so much stronger than my previous talent!"

"Forget it, who cares? Awakening such an incredible constitution is proof of my own ability. Hahahaha! The number one genius under heaven can be none other than me!"

Then she jumped up again and laughed excitedly.

Skipping and hopping, she headed toward the city.

In the void above.

[Detected Ye Xinran has risen by one major realm. Host has risen by one major realm to the Heavenly Authority Realm.]

At the same time, the system's voice rang out in Ye Chang'an's mind.

"The Heavenly Authority Realm? Not bad."

Feeling his realm rise, Ye Chang'an was quite satisfied.

"Uh... the Young Temple Master has such a lively personality. She's really cute."

The corners of Shangguan Shi's eyes twitched imperceptibly.

Naturally, Ye Chang'an noticed this and continued smiling as he explained, "Xinran has always been like this—lively and adorable."

There was actually something else he did not say: she was also rather chuuni.

Of course, Shangguan Shi would find that out sooner or later. Ye Chang'an would not need to introduce it.

No, he could find out right now.

Because Ye Xinran's laughter drifted over again.

She sped along at incredible speed, shouting as she traveled, "I, Ye Xinran, have arrived! Fight for second place, all you geniuses!"

Upon hearing that, Ye Chang'an did not look at Shangguan Shi's expression.

There was no need to look.

One corner of his eye was twitching, while he struggled to hold back his laughter.

Shangguan Shi did not know that, because Ye Chang'an had transmigrated here, his way of raising Ye Xinran since childhood had differed from that of this world.

Of course, if Ling Xianyue had been by his side, she might have restrained her somewhat.

At dusk, Linjiang City.

"I've finally arrived. Linjiang City, I'll use you to carve the first step of this young lady's path to crushing all ages beneath her feet!"

Looking at the three large characters above the city gate, Ye Xinran's heart brimmed with anticipation.

Following the crowd, Ye Xinran arrived at the entrance.

Two guards stood at the gate. Ye Xinran could tell at a glance that they were only at the Qi Refining Realm.

"One Low-grade Spirit Stone per person!"

The guards shouted as they collected spirit stones.

Ye Xinran took out a spirit stone and handed it to a guard.

All of her spirit stones had been left behind by Ling Xianyue when she departed.

As Ye Xinran handed over the spirit stone, the guard gave her a puzzled look.

After paying, she walked into the city with light, cheerful steps.

The guard was left standing there with a strange look on his face. He then looked down at the spirit stone Ye Xinran had just given him—it was clearly a Mid-grade Spirit Stone.

Shaking his head, he muttered to himself, "That girl looks pretty sharp. How can she not even tell one spirit stone from another? Ah, forget it. I'll just take it as a gift from someone rich."

With that, he slipped the spirit stone into his pocket, replaced it with a Low-grade Spirit Stone, and placed that into the bag where he had been collecting spirit stones.

The other gate guard was also collecting spirit stones and had not noticed anything happening over here.
