• Nie Yun accepted the Purple Cloud Fruit and prepared to consume it while Fairy Biluo guarded him.

Nie Yun swallowed a Purple Cloud Fruit whole and used his powerful body and thousands of dantians to refine its energy, advancing from Mid-grade King Realm to High-grade King Realm.

After discovering that an Emperor’s domain was an Inner World, he wondered whether his own Storage World meant he was already an Emperor Realm expert.

• Nie Yun sent the gatekeeping disciple away and used his Heavenly Eye and Heavenly Ear talents to read books in the library within breaths.
• Nie Yun used his Storage World to absorb and instantly read hundreds of books at a time, finishing more than half the library in less than half a day.
