"So much!"
After seeing the resources inside the Storage Ring clearly, the Elder was utterly stunned.
"It's no big deal. Your wine tastes good; it's worth this price."
Ye Chang'an waved his hand casually.
He had asked the system about it before drinking.
After all, this was divine wine brewed by an expert from the Vast Universe Domain.
The system had said that the wine contained incredibly powerful energy. Low-level cultivators would explode and die if they drank it.
But because of his physique, Ye Chang'an could regulate and absorb that energy, though it could not raise his cultivation realm.
Thus, Ye Chang'an had sampled it without worry.
The very first sip made him feel that this was the best wine he had ever tasted.
That was precisely why the Elder felt that Ye Chang'an had given him too much.
Of course, all the wine brewed by the Elder had been taken away by Ye Chang'an.
Outside the gates of the Forbidden Institute.
Wang Chen had just arrived when he discovered that a figure in a purple dress was already there.
At a single glance, he recognized her as the Dao Master Realm expert who followed Ye Chang'an.
Seeing this, Wang Chen appeared beside Xiao Liu.
"All six are here... two at the seventh level of the Dao Master Realm, and four at the sixth level.
I'm at the sixth level of the Dao Master Realm. At most, I can handle two. What about you?"
After clearly seeing the six Innate Divine Saints who had arrived, Wang Chen's expression turned grave.
Hearing this, Xiao Liu remained calm, clearly not taking the six Innate Divine Saints seriously at all.
"You only need to step back."
After saying that, Xiao Liu took a step forward.
This startled Wang Chen.
She was that confident?
Yet the next scene made him doubt his entire life.
Xiao Liu merely traced a line with her sword fingers.
A Sword Light tens of thousands of feet long, carrying peerless might, slashed toward the six Innate Divine Saints.
Wherever the Sword Light passed, space collapsed and shattered, while the laws fell silent.
On the other side, the Innate Divine Saints watching the Sword Light descend were filled with horror, their pupils suddenly shrinking.
Because the Sword Light affected space-time, They did not even have a chance to react.
In but an instant, the Sword Light swept across Them in a blaze of magnificent radiance.
Not a single roar accompanied this strike.
Before Wang Chen's frozen gaze, the six Innate Divine Saints turned to dust and scattered between heaven and earth.
At the same time, a heavy, muffled sound rang through heaven and earth, reaching every corner of the universe.
It was the Great Dao's mournful cry.
Six Dao Master Realm experts had fallen, and even the Great Dao was moved.
After doing all this, Xiao Liu vanished from where she stood.
Only after a long while did Wang Chen come back to his senses.
"So... so strong... Is this what a true powerhouse is like?"
At that moment, Wang Chen's Dao heart nearly shattered.
Within the peach grove.
Ye Chang'an was drinking with the Elder.
That was right. He found drinking alone boring, so he had invited the Elder to accompany him.
Just then, Xiao Liu suddenly appeared beside Ye Chang'an.
Naturally, Ye Chang'an had seen that earlier Sword Light.
Inwardly, he could only exclaim that Xiao Liu was amazing.
Now that Xiao Liu had returned, it meant that the matter had been dealt with.
All that could be said was that her speed was beyond fast.
[Congratulations, host, for completing the task. The host's cultivation has risen to the third level of the Heavenly Saint Realm. Ye Xinran's cultivation has risen to the third level of the Imperial Extremes Realm.]
At that moment, the system's notification sounded in Ye Chang'an's mind as well.
"Alright, it's time for me to go. I didn't drink to my heart's content today. I hope there'll be another chance next time."
Ye Chang'an said this to the Elder.
Just as he was about to leave, he looked at the Elder again.
"I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Ye Chang'an."
If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
"Xiang Dongliu. I'm looking forward to drinking together again next time."
The Elder replied with a smile.
"Xiao Liu, let's go."
Since Shangguan Shi could not drink wine of this level, he had entered the Primordial Divine Hall, out of sight and out of mind.
Thus, only Ye Chang'an and Xiao Liu remained.
Very soon, a portal appeared, and Ye Chang'an and Xiao Liu entered it.
Within the peach grove, Xiang Dongliu watched the two leave with a meaningful smile in his eyes.
"His bone age is less than a hundred, yet he has reached the peak of the Dao Master Realm. Such talent is truly terrifying.
"Ye Chang'an... with such a low cultivation realm, he can actually drink my wine. Interesting.
"I wonder when and where we will meet again."
After saying that, Xiang Dongliu also vanished from where he stood.
When the system had rewarded Ye Chang'an with cultivation just now, Ye Chang'an had deliberately asked it to conceal it, so Xiang Dongliu had not noticed.
At the same time, on the Heavenly Desolation Continent.
Aboard a flying spiritual artifact.
Ye Xinran suddenly opened her eyes.
"What is going on?! I'm at the third level of the Imperial Extremes Realm? And there's no sign whatsoever that my cultivation is unstable.
"This... what happened? Could it be Father?"
Having suddenly advanced by an entire major realm without any side effects, Ye Xinran was completely shocked.
She immediately thought of Ye Chang'an.
A moment later, a voice transmission appeared in her mind. "Xinran, that was your reward for cultivating seriously."
"It really was Father! This method is far too incredible!"
Recognizing Ye Chang'an's voice, Ye Xinran understood at once.
In that instant, her admiration for Ye Chang'an rose by another great deal.
At the same time, she became exceedingly curious about Ye Chang'an's true strength.
Yet Jin Xiaoya and the other two beside her noticed none of this.
After all, the three of them had originally been far weaker than Ye Xinran.
As for the Dao Protector following behind them, she naturally had not noticed either, because the moment Ye Xinran boarded the flying spiritual artifact and began absorbing the beast soul, she had used the treasure Ye Chang'an had given her to conceal her cultivation realm.
The day before the Heavenly Extremity Sacred Land's Newcomer Grand Competition.
After more than half a month of travel, Ye Xinran and the others finally returned to the Heavenly Extremity Sacred Land.
At this moment, within Xuanyuan Hao's hall.
Lin Tianci and Xuanyuan Hao sat across from each other at a table, the scene looking strangely familiar.
"Tomorrow is the Grand Competition. Xuanyuan Hao, I hope you won't disappoint me."
Lin Tianci said to Xuanyuan Hao.
"You can rest assured of that. Just make sure you don't disappoint me."
Xuanyuan Hao replied confidently.
"By the way, where's that fiancée of yours? You'll see her tomorrow. What are you planning to do?"
"Can we not bring that up?"
Xuanyuan Hao looked as though he had a headache.
"Then I wish you good luck."
Seeing this, Lin Tianci offered his blessing with a smile before leaving the hall.
Within the newcomer Trial Secret Realm.
A young man with disheveled hair and bloodshot eyes seemed to be searching for something.
He kept muttering to himself.
"Let's see if it's here... no. What about over there? No... Not here, not there either. What is going on? Where is it?!"
In the end, the young man seemed to collapse as he threw back his head and roared.
"Where is my Profound Heaven Treasure Spring? Where did it go? Where did it go?!"
He clawed wildly at his hair, his face filled with madness and agony.
Only after a long while did the young man recover, but his eyes had clearly dimmed, no longer holding the light they had when he first entered the secret realm.
Just then, a middle-aged man appeared before him.
"Wuhen? What happened to you?"
Seeing Dao Wuhen in this state, Xuanyuan Chen was filled with confusion and concern.
Hearing this, Dao Wuhen shook his head lifelessly without saying anything.
"Forget it. I'll take you out first."
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Chen did not press him further and immediately took Dao Wuhen out of the Trial Secret Realm.
