Heavenly Phoenix Oasis, the summit of Sky Shadow Peak.
The apricot tree was once again covered in spirit blossoms. With the gentle breeze, apricot flowers rose one after another into the air like butterflies, then drifted down again.
One petal fell into a teacup.
The woman beside it immediately moved to replace the cup for him.
But the cultivator holding the cup shook his head.
"Who knows, perhaps this is the apricot blossom tea Fourth Grandpa is offering for my Nascent Soul ceremony." This figure was naturally Ye Jingcheng, who had returned from the Eastern Region's Yan Kingdom.
After Crimson Blood True Lord withdrew, he had remained on Soaring Cloud Peak for another five years. Only when the Nascent Soul ceremony was about to begin did he withdraw from the Eastern Region. Upon returning and seeing that Ye Haicheng, Ye Xuefan, and the others were not in the council hall, he went back to his own courtyard.
Of course, over these five years, his gains had not been small. Among the inherited secret arts obtained from Leaf God Valley, he had now learned the three most important ones.
For example, the Thousand-Moon Soul Needle, which attacked a cultivator's divine soul—he could now condense three in one breath.
His current divine sense was already equivalent to that of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator. In other words, if a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator did not possess a magical treasure that defended against divine sense attacks, they might be seriously wounded by his Thousand-Moon Soul Needle.
Moreover, his Thousand-Moon Soul Needles could also be stored inside his mind, equivalent to one-time-use soul needles. Even if such soul needles stored in advance were used against an enemy whose divine sense far surpassed his own, he would not need to worry about backlash.
