The illusory ripples spread, and a girl of about sixteen or seventeen appeared. She had shoulder-length silver-gray short hair, wore a well-fitting black shirt, her chest was full and high, and she wore white hot pants. Her slender legs were covered with a material similar to black stockings, which wrapped up to her jade feet, making them appear even longer.

This battle suit is woven from silk spun by Saint- level black silkworm. While retaining its defensive capabilities, it also accentuates the beauty of a woman's legs, making her appear more dignified (charming) and elegant (captivating). It is very popular among the female saints within Kun Court.

The girl had large, bright eyes. After returning to her residence, she skipped and hopped onto the soft gold cushion, her delicate face glowing with a special radiance, making her appear both lively and beautiful.

Inside the bedroom, a woman came out carrying a fruit bowl.

She was tall and graceful, looking to be in her thirties. Her appearance was somewhat similar to that of a young girl, but with an added touch of maturity and composure.

Seeing her daughter's listless appearance, Xu Qiong frowned slightly. "Xiao Ye, sit up. How have I been teaching you?"

Hearing his mother's words, Xu Ye blinked, still not moving, and said lazily, "Mom, I'm already very tired from my trials in the Void God Realm."

As she spoke, a wisp of divine thought flew out from between her brows, and then a faint light emanated from her long, shapely thighs. Hundreds of black source streams rapidly changed and reshaped, revealing the true appearance of her fair and Ruyu thighs.

The battle suit, resembling black tights, Return to Source and transformed into a plush purple bear pillow, which the girl held in her arms, making her even more adorable.

"You..."

Xu Qiong sighed, placed the fruit plate on the table, sat down in the illusory chair, and said, "Now that you have an unusual status and have entered the Chaos Hall, you should be even more mindful of your words and actions."

Unlike her daughter's attire, Xu Qiong was dressed very appropriately in a simple black patterned long dress, with her long hair cascading down her chest, exuding an intellectual beauty.

"I suffered so much for the exam... Now that I've successfully passed, what's wrong with enjoying myself?" Xu Ye picked up a purple spirit fruit, savoring it as she retorted to her mother's words.

"Even after we've reached the shore, we can't let our guard down. So many people want to enter the Chaos Hall..." Xu Qiong looked at her daughter, who was lying down, with a worried expression. She felt helpless and changed the subject, saying, "I heard that the higher-ups are setting new rules, only allowing female officials of Saint or higher."

"Hmm... so what if it's changed? What does it have to do with me?" the short-haired girl said casually.

"You're only at the Third Heaven of the Immortal Platform, do you think this has anything to do with you?" Xu Qiong sighed, feeling helpless about her own nickname.

She had planned long ago to find a reliable husband for her daughter, and even went to the Heavenly Pivot Palace to ask Mother Ye for help.

However, a female Saint King from there came and asserted that Xu Ye was no longer a virgin.

This news shocked Xu Qiong. She thought her daughter had found someone on her own, but after asking around, she found nothing, which left her, as a mother, feeling very helpless.

Although the Chaos Hall's rules and regulations do not stipulate that its internal maids must be virgins, this does have an impact.

Moreover, her daughter wasn't particularly outstanding in cultivation, and couldn't compare to true top-tier geniuses; her breakthrough to the Severing the Dao was pure luck.

Now that the higher-ups are changing the system, Xu Ye might be among those laid off.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ye realized that he had never told his mother about what happened in the Chaos Hall.

Seeing her mother's worried expression, she really wanted to take out her ninth-rank female official certificate to show that she was no longer a female clerk, but a female official.

Although these two ranks differ by only one step, they are actually worlds apart.

Female officials, though called female officials, were in reality nothing more than maids and servants, and their status was not particularly superior; they were subject to dismissal.

Entering the ranks was different; it meant being promoted by the monarch and becoming a true female official, with various benefits leaping forward and surpassing her original level.

Just like Xu Ye.

Although she was a Severing the Dao cultivator, she had always enjoyed Saint- level benefits, and even the best treatment, better than that of Saint King in the outside world...

Xu Ye spat out the small spice and whispered, "Don't worry, Mom, I'll handle it."

The beautiful woman in the black dress sighed softly and took out a piece of silver and gold paper. It was inscribed with elegant and refined divine words, gleaming with golden light, clearly the work of Saint.

She said to her daughter, "I've made up my mind. If you really get out, go and take a position at the Heavenly Pivot Palace. It's a formal position that your Uncle Ye fought for, and the monthly salary will be enough to support your cultivation."

"Uncle Ye, isn't he on the Starry Sky Ancient Road? I heard that he recently fought a battle against the young Supreme being of the Heavenly Tyrant Blood Lineage and defeated the Saint King Realm Overlord. Also, a year ago in the Minglan Star Domain, he fought against the Holy Maiden Minglan, ripping her clothes off and forcing her to flee in disarray, hahaha..."

When Ye Fan was mentioned, Xu Ye's eyes lit up. He was very curious about the Sacred Body and kept talking about it.

Hearing about Ye Fan's dark past, Xu Qiong's expression changed slightly.

She didn't have access to the internal network, a network accessible only to Saint cultivators within Kun Court, containing a wealth of secret information spanning countless realms. Xu Ye only knew these things because of her status as a ninth-rank female official of the Chaos Hall.

Xu Qiong, as a mother, had no doubts about the information her daughter revealed; she was only embarrassed.

After all, she and Ye Fan had dated, even reached the point of discussing marriage; she had given him her youth...

In the end, Xu Qiong could only put on a stern face, adopting the authority of a mother, and said seriously, "You are not allowed to make up stories about your Uncle Ye like that. Information on the internet is not necessarily true."

"Hey-hey."

The girl let out a silvery laugh and teased, "This isn't just gossip; it's all over the Jade Lake Heavenly Palace's internal network. Uncle Ye is really something, if it's a duel, it's a duel, why specifically target someone's battle armor?"

"He's not that kind of person, it might just be a misunderstanding..." Xu Qiong broke down, stammering as she defended Ye Fan, before finally falling silent.

The once-beautiful moonlight has dimmed somewhat.

Although her current partner is aloof and rigid, she has never worried about him cheating on her after so many years of marriage.

As for Ye Fan...

It's not surprising that such a brilliant and talented person would be amorous...

"How is your Uncle Ye doing on the ancient road?"

Unable to exonerate Ye Fan, Xu Qiong could only change the subject, talking about the depths of the universe beyond countless star fields.

"The ancient road has ninety passes, and Uncle Ye is almost at the Imperial Pass. He belongs to the very top tier of geniuses in the competition. Several elders of the Chaos Hall have high hopes for him and believe he can achieve the Great Perfection of the Sacred Body."

Xu Ye was very concerned about his mother's old friend, and now he told her everything in detail.

" The Sacred Body has reached its full potential..."

Xu Qiong fell silent for a moment.

She also ventured into cultivation, but even with Ye Fan's help, she only managed to reach the Immortal Platform Second Heaven. The path ahead was difficult, with the Immortal Three proving challenging to many.

That person from the past now shines brightly in the depths of the universe, the flames emanating from him illuminating countless star fields.

What is the concept of a Great Accomplishment Sacred Body? It can fight against the Azure Emperor more than 10,000 years ago. It is a Supreme level figure who can live for more than 10,000 years, and with the addition of the Immortal Medicine Fruit, it can live for 20,000 years.

Xu Qiong was happy for her former partner who had such a future, but a sense of emptiness followed.

Some people, once missed, are missed forever. Time cannot be turned back, and in the end, all you can do is silently watch the past pass by...

Seeing his mother's dazed expression, Xu Ye shook his head, not wanting to concern himself with the affairs of the previous generation.

Her father is Yang Xiao, and her surname is Xu; this alone tells a lot.

Of course, the bottom line is divorce, and on this point she will absolutely side with her father, no matter how good Uncle Ye is.

Xu Qiong's eyes flickered as she noticed her daughter's gossipy expression. She frowned and said, "What kind of weird things are you thinking about now? How much has your Uncle Ye helped our family? You can't talk badly about him behind his back like this."

"Where? I saw that pearl of the Ji Family in the Chaos Hall. She was speaking well of Uncle Ye. You've really wronged me," the girl protested, sounding somewhat aggrieved.

She respected Ye Fan no less than her mother, after all, he was an immortal uncle who had appeared since she was a child, and he always brought all sorts of gifts when he came, making him very likable.

But respect aside, watching such important figures feel awkward is also a unique kind of pleasure...

After a conversation between mother and daughter, Xu Qiong boarded the star train inside Kunlun Star to visit her son who was cultivating at the Supreme Purity Sect.

This is the child she had with Yang Xiao later in life.

Because of a prenuptial agreement, their son was originally supposed to take her surname. However, as societal attitudes changed and gender relations became more traditional, she took the initiative to suggest that their son take the surname Yang, much to the delight of Yang Xiao and her in-laws.

Amidst swirling clouds and mist, at the majestic and ethereal Southern Heavenly Gate, Xu Ye changed her clothes. She was dressed very appropriately, in a flowing robe and jade belt, with a black phoenix hair bun made of dark gold thread on her head, which complemented her slender figure and made her look exceptionally beautiful.

She personally escorted her mother onto the Great Luo Heaven Star Orbit. During the journey, some family members of palace officials came to visit, much like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden. They were amazed by the ethereal and fairy-like celestial realm and were also very curious about Xu Ye.

The uniforms of the palace maids in the Chaos Hall are beautiful and of extraordinary quality. They are made of Great Luo Silver Essence, Nine Heavens Divine Jade, and Five-Colored Gold Iron as the base material, and are adorned with various rare treasures. Even some Saint King's robes are not as good as these.

Wearing such clothes, they attracted envious glances from those around them. Most of their children worked in the Star Constellation Mansion, and the Chaos Hall was like a divine place to them, unattainable and worthy of a lifetime of looking up to.

Facing envious glances, Xu Ye remained calm, because this kind of life had become the norm.

If she had initially passed the Chaos Hall's assessment and been promoted to a female official, she would have felt excited and proud.

Now that he has served even the most legendary and supreme figures, and even received their favor once, all the worldly affairs are nothing but fleeting clouds.

The only downside is that the person in question seems to have forgotten about him and hasn't come back in a long time...

"Go back, you know everyone in the Heavenly Pivot Palace."

Xu Qiong looked at her daughter, who was as beautiful as a fairy, with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

The girl nodded, and then the train doors closed. After a brief announcement, it sped off towards the Lower Realm realm, disappearing from everyone's sight in an instant...

Today, on Earth, technology and cultivation go hand in hand, greatly facilitating people's daily lives.

In this regard, the technological civilization of the Eternal Kingdom is thriving, and various interstellar tunnels have been built. The Time Hall is even dismantling the Five-Colored Altar in an attempt to overcome the problem of the scarcity of Five-Colored Stone and create large-scale inter-domain magic arrays using other less rare materials.

If successful, it would be a leap across civilizations, extending Kun Court's influence to every aspect of society and greatly enhancing the stability of its rule.

During the construction of the project, the Dao Yan Lineage made a fortune and gained a lot of prestige. Emperor's son Dao Yi was even appointed as a palace envoy by the Chaos Hall to assist several giants in managing the affairs of various domains, and his status was above that of the other Ancient Emperor and emperors.

Among the self-proclaimed figures of ancient times, Dao Yi who broke through realms and rose in status the fastest.

The others— Ji Zi, Divine Silkworm Daoist, Huang Xudao, Huo Qizi, Yuan Gu —are still slowly progressing towards the Saint King Realm, while Dao Yi has already achieved the Great Saint, his cultivation speed far surpassing all others...

After seeing his mother off, Xu Ye activated the Great Luo Silver Essence Robe, transforming into a black phoenix, and returned to his residence following the trajectory of the Heavenly Palace.

Now that she was alone, the girl seemed to have broken free from some kind of restraint. The layout of the entire house changed, with Chaos light and mist surging. A grass and wood cushion appeared, and a star leaf at its core emitted a faint fragrance of Divine Medicine, refreshing and invigorating. Its color was silvery, giving it an unreal feel.

Looking at the futon in front of her, Xu Ye's beautiful eyes flickered, and she pursed her lips, unable to help but recall that night, remembering the taste of that person.

It was truly intoxicatingly beautiful.

The girl lowered her gaze, sat down cross-legged, and began to silently cultivate.

During the day, she stormed the Heaven-reaching Tower in the virtual world, killing thirty-eight Dao -Severing the Dao King Beasts. She was judged to have the combat power of Seven Prohibitions forbidden beast, ranking more than ten thousandth among her peers.

This is already quite amazing for a mortal girl.

But Xu Ye was not satisfied.

She received the essence of Chaos bestowed upon her by that great being, yet she could only linger within the Seven Prohibitions.

This is nothing to be proud of.

She wanted to reach the Eight Prohibitions Limits through her own abilities.

Xu Ye did not use the Taichu Bloodline Evolution Agent bestowed upon him.

The so-called bloodline evolution agent does indeed have the ability to defy fate, but direct consumption will create a constraint that will fully erupt at the Quasi-Emperor Heavenly Gate.

If one wants to become Great Saint, the Taichu Agent is indeed sufficient, and may even exceed that.

But Xu Ye saw far ahead.

She didn't want to stop at the Saint Realm; she longed to enter the Quasi-Emperor Realm and hoped to climb to an even higher level.
