Holy Lands in Conflict, Two Supreme Arts

On the other side, the Pleasure Sect.

The atmosphere in the sect's main hall was both solemn and enthusiastic.

I declare!

The leader of the Pleasure Sect stood on the high platform, his voice resounding throughout the entire mountain gate!

"Su Wurao, your talent is unparalleled! From this day forward, you are hereby promoted to the position of First Sect Master candidate of our Pleasure Sect!"

These words caused an uproar throughout the room!

Countless female disciples looked at the stunningly beautiful figure standing beside the sect leader with eyes full of envy and jealousy!

Only Zhao Yuji remained, her face deathly pale, her fists clenched tightly! Her eyes were filled with endless resentment and bitterness!

However, when she met the sect leader's cold and warning eyes, she could only lower her head in humiliation.

The ceremony has ended.

Inside a magnificent palace.

Dozens of jade slips containing Foundation Establishment methods of different attributes and grades, as well as hundreds of second-tier spiritual techniques, have already been sorted and organized.

"My husband will be very happy to see this, won't he?"

Looking at the mountain of jade slips before her, Su Wurao smiled sweetly.

"Wurao," the Grand Elder said solemnly, looking at her, "These are all the methods the sect could gather that meet your requirements. You... really want to give them all to that man?"

"Yes!" Su Wurao nodded emphatically.

"Alright." The elder didn't ask any more questions, but gave her a deep look before agreeing.

Just then, the sect leader's voice came from outside the hall.

"Wurao, come in. From this moment on, the entire sect will do everything in our power to help you break through to the Golden Core realm!"

"Yes, Master."

The Grand Elder, holding the storage ring filled with cultivation techniques and jade slips, tore through the Xukong and took a step forward.

Her Divine Sense was locked onto the faint sensation emanating from the "Love Thread Knot," her heart filled with endless curiosity and anticipation.

[The man who could enable Wurao to forge a ' Earth-Grade Dao Foundation,' and who was even willing to gamble the future of the entire sect on himself...]

Just what kind of peerless genius are you?

At this moment, Dongfang Yueming is caught in a sweet "crisis".

"Handsome young man~"

In Shui Yan'er's captivating eyes, water rippled, and she slowly approached step by step. The terrifying pressure emanating from her, befitting Golden Core expert, transformed into invisible red threads, attempting to completely bind Dongfang Yueming!

"Just... give in to your sister!"

Just as her delicate hand was about to touch Dongfang Yueming's chest!

An ancient and majestic voice, without warning, boomed across the land!

"Sir, aren't you being far too dismissive of the Pleasure Sect?!"

"Boom!"

Space, like a mirror, is shattered inch by inch!

The Grand Elder of the Pleasure Sect took a step forward, and the power of the Nascent Soul descended with a thunderous roar!

She looked at Shui Yan'er, who was about to grope Dongfang Yueming, and a cold glint flashed in her elegant phoenix eyes!

Shui Yan'er's smile vanished instantly upon seeing the suddenly appearing Grand Elder.

"Oh, who do we have here?" She curled her lip, her tone full of disdain. "So it's Elder Withered Wood of the Pleasure Sect. What's the matter? Why aren't you staying in your boudoir of women? What are you doing in this backwater?"

The Grand Elder ignored her provocation.

She simply gazed silently at Dongfang Yueming, a barely perceptible hint of shock and... satisfaction flashing in her eyes!

[What a handsome and refined young man!]

[What a... unfathomable, peerless genius!]

She only needed one glance to make up her mind!

This man is absolutely worthy of being the future son-in-law of their Pleasure Sect!

"The person you've taken a liking to," the Grand Elder said slowly, his voice filled with undeniable domineering authority, "Is a member of our Pleasure Sect."

"Your people?" Shui Yan'er seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. "Old hag! I set my sights on something first. When did it become your place to interfere?"

"He is our saintess's husband."

"Bullshit! He's mine now!"

[This person is from the Pleasure Sect?] Dongfang Yueming looked at the two peerless experts in front of him, who were about to fight at the slightest disagreement, and was speechless.

Seeing that reasoning with him was futile, the Grand Elder pointed towards the Dongfang Yueming.

A storage ring then flew steadily to his front.

"Young Master," the Grand Elder's voice softened considerably, "This was sent to you by that girl, Wurao Rao, on my behalf."

"Inside is the Foundation Establishment Method you need, young master."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yueming felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

"Foundation Establishment Method?"

Shui Yan'er looked at the storage ring, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.

[Some mere Foundation Establishment techniques think they can bribe such a peerless prodigy?]

[How... ridiculous!]

She chuckled sweetly, and with a flick of her jade hand, a jade slip, clearly Bufan and burning with a light blue flame, appeared in her palm!

"Handsome young man~" Her voice was full of irresistible allure, "Don't pay any attention to that old hag! What are a few worthless Foundation Establishment techniques compared to that?"

"As long as you're willing to come back to the Water and Fire Sect with me, I can give you the Water and Fire Sect's most treasured technique, the true core inheritance—the ' Water-Fire Mutual Aid Art' —right now!"

Upon hearing this!

For the first time, an uncontrollable look of shock appeared on the usually dignified and noble face of the Grand Elder of the Pleasure Sect!

[The "Water-Fire Mutual Aid Art"?!]

[She... she actually dared to give up even a core inheritance of this level?!]

A tremendous storm raged within her!

At this moment, she was finally even more convinced of the young man's... worth!

"Shui Yan'er!" The First Elder's voice became extremely solemn, "In all things, there must be a principle of first come, first served!"

"Pah!" Shui Yan'er retorted without backing down, "Why should I give up the person I've set my sights on to you?!"

It seems that the two top experts from the holy lands are about to clash once again!

In the end, they all turned their gaze to the "person involved," who had remained silent throughout.

"Handsome young man, you choose for yourself!"

"Young master, please reconsider!"

Faced with this "happy dilemma" that would drive any man crazy, Dongfang Yueming showed no joy whatsoever.

He simply looked calmly at the two people in front of him and asked:

I have a question.

How can I enter a lost secret realm?

Both of them were taken aback upon hearing this.

They exchanged a glance, and both saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

[Could it be... that he already knows about the existence of the ' Astral Battlefield '?]

"Once the secret realm disappears," Shui Yan'er spoke first, explaining, "It's like a feather scattered in the boundless ocean. With our current cultivation level, it's simply impossible to find it again amidst the endless Xukong turbulence."

"Only after you break through the Foundation Establishment, condense the Golden Core, and achieve a deep resonance between your soul and the laws of heaven and earth, will there be... even a sliver of a possibility."

"Golden Core..."

Dongfang Yueming's heart sank to the bottom!

"It seems there's someone you care about in that secret realm, isn't there?" Shui Yan'er, seeing his dejected look, stopped her playful mood and gently comforted him, "However, in this matter, there's truly... nothing we can do."

The Grand Elder sighed as well. "So, he already had someone special in his heart. But that's normal. How could such a prodigy lack a confidante?"

"Even if I were to take action myself," she said slowly, "The chances would still be slim."

Upon hearing the verdicts of the two top experts, Dongfang Yueming fell silent.

The image of that stubborn yet aloof figure resurfaced in his mind once more.

He remembered the girl who had danced with him at the ball.

He remembered the comrade who had given him the martial arts technique during the Battle of the Python Gate.

He slowly clenched his fist.

[give up?]

[No.]

I will never give up!

[Golden Core... is that so?]

Alright.

[I'll go and cultivate my Golden Core!]

[I will then go and cultivate to the Nascent Soul Nascent Soul Formation!]

I will turn this world upside down! And I will find you again!

In an instant, an indescribable, unwavering, and domineering supreme Dao heart erupted from his body!

The moment Shui Yan'er and the Grand Elder sensed this will, their delicate bodies trembled violently, their eyes filled with indescribable shock!

What did they see?!

What they saw was no longer just a simple genius, a prodigy!

Rather, he is destined to become... the supreme ruler who reigns over all under heaven and surveys the ages...

They never imagined that a man's "true feelings" could be so powerful!

"Well..."

After a long while, Shui Yan'er finally let out a long sigh.

"Handsome young man," she put away her cultivation technique jade slip, a relieved smile appearing on her face, "I won't fight you for it anymore."

"However, the gates of my Water and Fire Sect will always be open for you."

The Grand Elder nodded as well. She knew that, given this man's character, it was absolutely impossible for him to be willing to marry into their Pleasure Sect.

She didn't say anything more, only calmly saying, "Young master, take care."

Dongfang Yueming bowed solemnly to the two of them.

Thank you.

After the two left.

In Dongfang Yueming's heart, there was already a brand new and even grander goal!

He immersed his consciousness into the storage ring that Su Wurao had collected for him.

Looking at the mountain of Foundation Establishment methods, a sense of emotion flashed through his heart.

He took out one of the jade slips, the one that looked the most Bufan.

[Yin-Yang Foundation Establishment Method?]

[Ding! You have learned the cultivation technique "Yin-Yang Foundation Establishment Method" (0/50000, not yet at the Entry)!]

[It's actually... on the same level as the "Dragon-Elephant Suppresses Hell Art"!]

He was overjoyed!

However, the conditions for cultivating this technique are extremely demanding. One must possess both Yin and Yang energies simultaneously, or it must be practiced jointly by a man and a woman.

[However, I have Point Allocation System, so it doesn't matter.]

He also took out the jade slip that Shui Yan'er had left behind.

[Ding! You have learned the skill "Water-Fire Mutual Aid Art" (0/50000, not yet at the Entry)!]

Dongfang Yueming silently kept these two acts of kindness from the Holy Land in her heart.
