As the Sea Emperor's Blessing continued, the cultivation of all five gradually rose.
Just then, a blue-haired youth suddenly appeared in the space.
"What is this? Hm? They were even faster than me..."
Hai Aotian, who had been curious about the scene in the middle of the gorge, suddenly noticed Ye Xinran and the others below.
His expression immediately darkened.
From childhood to adulthood, he had always been the most dazzling prodigy.
Yet now, he was actually slower than all five of them.
Seeing this, Hai Aotian limped toward a meditation cushion.
Clearly, he was injured.
As for the other members of the Sea Clan, they had long since been eliminated from the trial.
It was clear that this trial was no simple matter.
The reason Ye Xinran had found it so easy was entirely because she was too strong.
Hai Aotian sat down on the meditation cushion, and a pillar of light descended upon him.
In an instant, his injuries recovered.
"Hmm? My realm is rising, and it even seems to be improving my talent!"
Sensing the effects brought by the pillar of light, Hai Aotian was inwardly startled.
He then began earnestly absorbing the energy within the beam.
No one knew how much time passed, but everyone's realm improved.
Since each of them was focused on strengthening themselves, not a single one noticed the statue's abnormal change.
The Dragon-shaped Statue's eyes had previously been tightly shut, but now they slowly opened and emitted a red glow.
"Couldn't hold back anymore? Let's see who it wants to possess."
In the void, Ye Chang'an watched the statue's transformation with a cold sneer.
Judging by talent, the other party had definitely set its sights on Ye Xinran.
This was something Ye Chang'an had expected.
And the result was precisely as Ye Chang'an had anticipated.
A Flood Dragon in a soul state flew out of the statue.
"Hiss~ Such talent. Though she is female, it is enough for me to become an Emperor and ascend.
After waiting all these years, I have finally found someone whose talent meets the standard.
Five people with talent greater than mine appeared all at once. Is a great age truly about to arrive?"
The beast soul stared at Ye Xinran with blazing eyes and muttered to itself.
Just as it prepared to possess Ye Xinran, a Flood Dragon suddenly appeared before it.
"What kind of thing dares to harbor thoughts about Little Master?"
Little Dragon appeared before the beast soul, his face full of disdain.
The beast soul froze on the spot at this sudden development.
"Emperor Realm! Where did you come from?"
The beast soul was utterly confused by Little Dragon's appearance.
But what made it even more wary was Little Dragon's strength.
"Where I came from is none of your business. But if you want to lay hands on Little Master, then you've kicked an iron plate."
Little Dragon had no interest in wasting words on it.
His aura suddenly surged, golden light burst from his eyes, and an overwhelmingly powerful pressure instantly suppressed the beast soul.
"We are both Flood Dragons. Must you really go this far?"
Unable to fight, the beast soul decided to rely on its mouth.
But Little Dragon could not even be bothered to spare it a glance.
A mere Half-step Emperor Realm was not worth another word from Little Dragon.
"This beast soul has at least reached the Half-step Emperor Realm. Once Little Master refines and absorbs it, won't her strength soar tremendously?"
At this moment, Little Dragon could think only of earning merit.
In the void, every scene unfolding in the gorge fell into Ye Chang'an's eyes.
"This Flood Dragon has done quite well. It deserves a reward."
With that, Ye Chang'an waved his hand.
Little Dragon and the dragon soul both appeared before Ye Chang'an.
"Hmm? Senior!"
Suddenly transferred away, Little Dragon was initially bewildered. Only when he saw Ye Chang'an did he come to his senses.
"You did quite well."
Ye Chang'an nodded.
Then he clenched his hand.
The beast soul rapidly condensed.
Before long, a blue ball of light appeared in Ye Chang'an's hand.
"This way, it can be absorbed directly." As he spoke, Ye Chang'an handed the ball of light formed from the beast soul to Little Dragon.
"Give it to Xinran when the time comes."
"Understood, Senior."
Little Dragon immediately agreed and put away the ball of light.
Ye Chang'an then waved his hand once more.
A golden pearl flew out from the Dragon-shaped Statue's brow and arrived directly before Little Dragon.
"Senior, this is?"
"The Sea Origin Pearl. Before that beast soul fell, it was at the Emperor Realm Peak.
In order to create Sea Emperor Land and lure people here so it could possess them, it infused most of its spiritual power into this Sea Origin Pearl.
The so-called Sea Emperor's Blessing was the effect of this pearl.
The rise in realm came from that fellow's spiritual power, while the improvement in talent was the Sea Origin Pearl's own effect.
In the Heavenly Desolation Continent, the Sea Origin Pearl could be considered a top-tier treasure."
Listening to Ye Chang'an's introduction, Little Dragon inspected the Sea Origin Pearl with delight filling his heart.
"Senior, is this for me?"
"Yes. Xinran does not lack resources. Unlike that Half-step Emperor Realm beast soul, this thing is also useful to you."
Ye Chang'an nodded.
Resources? They were what he lacked least.
"Thank you, Senior!"
After receiving Ye Chang'an's confirmation, Little Dragon excitedly put away the Sea Origin Pearl.
"Go back. Now that the Sea Origin Pearl has been taken out, their Sea Emperor's Blessing should be over."
With that, Ye Chang'an moved his thoughts, and Little Dragon vanished before him.
Elsewhere.
As the Sea Emperor's Blessing abruptly stopped, Ye Xinran and the others opened their eyes in confusion.
"Hmm? Is it over?"
Ye Xinran looked at the statue curiously.
At this moment, the statue had lost its previous radiance.
Just then, a gateway appeared before them.
"It seems it should be over."
Seeing the gateway appear, Jin Xiaoya replied.
"We gained quite a lot on this trip. Let's go."
Lin Tianci was quite satisfied with what they had gained this time.
"I advanced two more realms and broke straight through to the Spiritual Power Realm!" Li Wuxun said excitedly.
The moment those words were spoken, Hai Aotian's expression changed.
"He is in the Spiritual Power Realm!"
Upon learning Li Wuxun's realm, Hai Aotian was inwardly shocked.
This Daoist Robe Youth looked at most one or two years older than him. How was he already in the Spiritual Power Realm?
Hai Aotian himself was only at the second level of the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
At that moment, Hai Aotian began to lose confidence in his own talent.
At first, he could not sense Ye Xinran and the others' realms, so he had assumed they would not be much stronger than him.
He had never expected the gap to be so enormous.
While Hai Aotian was doubting himself, Ye Xinran and the other five had already left Sea Emperor Land.
Seeing this, he immediately followed after them.
Sea Clan Forbidden Ground.
Seeing Ye Xinran and the others emerge, Hai Potian and Hai Chengfeng wore eager expressions.
The earlier elimination of four Sea Clan members had made the two of them extremely worried.
They had not expected the trial in Sea Emperor Land to be so difficult that it eliminated four people at once.
Fortunately, their greatest hope, Hai Aotian, was still inside.
When Hai Aotian emerged, Hai Potian immediately checked his realm.
"The second level of the Heavenly Spirit Realm. Not bad."
He had originally been very satisfied.
But when he discovered Ye Xinran and the others' improvements, he suddenly found Hai Aotian quite ordinary.
Even Ye Xinran, who had already reached the King Profound Realm, had gone from the first level of the King Profound Realm when she entered to the third level.
This was the King Profound Realm, far beyond what the Heavenly Spirit Realm could compare to.
And Jin Xiaoya, Li Wuxun, and the others had each made enormous improvements.
This could not help but leave Hai Potian somewhat disappointed.
Seeing the change in Hai Potian's expression, Hai Aotian clenched his fists tightly, his face turning ugly.
After exchanging a few words with Hai Potian, Ye Xinran and the others directly left the Sea Clan.
Li Wuxun, meanwhile, prepared to head for the Teng Hai Secret Realm. After all, he still had to save his Big Brother.
