The Divine Son emerged from seclusion, stunning everyone, Returning Origin Martial Arts Arena

As Su Changge's aura slowly settled.

The heavenly phenomena once again dissipated into the air, and the Returning Origin Holy Land returned to peace.

But everyone would need a long time to calm their minds after that earth-shaking commotion!

Inside the Returning Origin Holy Hall.

Su Changge slowly opened his eyes.

His aura was now incomparably profound. Even a wisp that escaped unintentionally could make the void tremble and roar!

Threads of Dao resonance swirled around him, and his entire being radiated an aura that stood proud between heaven and earth, like a god descending into the world.

His Godslaying Sword Intent and Yin Yang Sword Qi had both improved. A single wisp of sword qi could cleave across the void.

The World Tree Seed within him had also grown with the help of the earlier spiritual energy, though its growth remained slow without the support of the five elements.

[New choice mission detected. Option one: your cultivation is still too low. Choose to continue cultivating. Reward: Demon Sealing Thousand Crane Underworld Scripture.

Option two: stop cultivating and consolidate your foundation. Reward: Sky Breaking Overlord Fist.]

The system's voice suddenly rang out.

Su Changge could not help raising an eyebrow. Improving his strength was good, but he must not drink too greedily!

If his foundation proved insufficiently firm later, it would instead become a grave taboo!

"Option two."

[Host has completed the selection. Reward issued.]

Just then, a streak of light landed before Su Changge.

Su Changge was just about to salute when Ancestor Po Jun extended his palm, gently placed it on his head, and examined him.

"Good, good, good! Changge, your cultivation has actually broken through to the mid Purple Mansion Realm!"

"You've crossed three major realms in just half a month! Even the entire North Abyss Dao Domain has never seen a second person like you!"

"However, you should not continue breaking through. Advancing too quickly isn't necessarily a good thing."

"You need to stabilize your cultivation first and lay a firm foundation for the higher Great Dao ahead."

"Yes. I will remember your teachings, Ancestors."

Su Changge continued, "Ancestors, I want to consolidate my cultivation. Where could I go that would best help me do that?"

Ancestor Po Jun was somewhat surprised, as though he had not expected Su Changge to say this.

Yet his expression grew even more gratified. Despite such accomplishments, Su Changge remained neither arrogant nor impatient and still followed the words of an ancestor like him. He liked Su Changge more and more!

"Our holy land has several places where disciples can consolidate their cultivation. At the Returning Origin Martial Arts Arena, the many disciples can spar with one another to hone their cultivation and techniques."

"The Sky Peak Tower has nine floors in total, each with different trials. You can challenge them using your own talent."

"Countless sword cultivators were once buried in the Sword Burial Abyss, and the sword intent formed there is truly terrifying. Sword cultivators can gain insights there and strengthen their own way of the sword."

"The Mystic Beast Realm is also a good choice. It is an illusion realm constructed in ancient times by a mighty expert who studied divine sense. It contains many demons and strange beasts. You can experience genuine life-and-death battles inside, and even if you die in battle there, your life will not be endangered."

"There is also a place called the Returning Origin Forbidden Ground. Demon qi churns within it, and it is an ancient battlefield from remote antiquity. This place is rather special. You will only qualify to go there once you advance above the Purple Mansion Realm."

"However, I recommend that you visit the Returning Origin Martial Arts Arena first," Ancestor Po Jun said again.

"Why?" Su Changge asked in puzzlement.

"Holy Sons and Holy Daughters often appear there. If you go, perhaps you can use the opportunity to establish your authority."

Su Changge pondered briefly, then nodded slightly.

Since he had taken the position of Divine Son, he certainly had to establish his authority. Otherwise, people could easily consider his title illegitimate and his words without standing.

Under Ancestor Po Jun's arrangements, a Divine Crane soon flew up outside the hall.

Once Su Changge was seated, the crane beat its wings and soared into the sky in an instant.

"A storm is finally about to sweep through the holy land."

Ancestor Po Jun watched Su Changge's departing figure with a smile, anticipation flashing in his eyes.

Prodigies needed to break through in battle to begin with, and that was even more true for a prodigy like Su Changge.

Sunlight spilled down from the heavens, shining upon Su Changge.

Each strand of his ink-black hair gleamed, suffused with a hazy radiance. With divine bones and immortal grace, he was truly an elegant young gentleman amid the turbid mortal world.

Even as he merely rested with his eyes closed, he exuded an extraordinary air of transcendence.

He seemed born from the gathered spiritual essence of heaven and earth. Anyone who saw him could not help thinking that he was a banished immortal descended to the mortal world.

"Look! The Divine Son has emerged from seclusion!"

"I have to say, the Divine Son is truly too handsome!"

"Yes! I've never seen such handsome features!"

"The Divine Son's cultivation speed is terrifying. He's already in the Purple Mansion Realm! Such speed of advancement has never been seen before and will never be seen again!"

Yet amid the astonished crowd, a puzzled voice rang out. "Elder Bi He, why is your face so red?"

"It isn't... it's just too hot today..."

At these words, the person who had asked wore a strange expression.

It was late autumn, yet she was still hot?

Su Changge was like the most dazzling stretch of scenery, drawing countless gazes wherever he went.

Especially those of some female disciples.

They looked as though they were bewitched. Some even swayed as they walked, while others stood rooted to the spot, staring at Su Changge with infatuated smiles!

A closer look revealed that even some female elders were among them!

The Returning Origin Martial Arts Arena stood on a floating Divine Island.

It was so vast that accommodating tens of thousands of people would pose no problem.

At that moment, many disciples were cultivating and sparring inside the Martial Arts Arena.

An enormous divine stone stood within the Martial Arts Arena. Rumor had it that this incomparably sturdy stone had fallen from the Nine Heavens, and it was called Starfall Sky Stone.

The stone was said to contain profound yellow iron, which could greatly strengthen one's physical cultivation, so the holy land had placed this piece of starfall sky stone here.

Whoever shattered it would own the profound yellow iron within.

At that moment, an exceptionally beautiful figure stood before the enormous stone. Her face was lovely, her bearing dignified and refined, giving the impression of jade brought to perfection.

Her snow-white legs were straight and slender, setting imaginations wandering.

The woman wore a white gauze robe and skirt, adding a touch of otherworldliness.

Her clothes seemed a little small, unable to fully cover her curvaceous body and snow-white skin, fiery and alluring.

The charm in her every expression and movement revealed endless enchantment.

"Holy Daughter Xin Yan is still so beautiful!"

"Of course. Holy Daughter Xin Yan is now also in the Purple Mansion Realm, and her overall strength ranks fourth. Not only is her cultivation profound, but her beauty is also among the very finest in our holy land! I heard Holy Daughter Xin Yan even has the Grand Yin Body! If you became her Dao Companion, your immortal cultivation would yield twice the results with half the effort!"

"Yes, the Grand Yin Body. I heard both the First Holy Son and the Second Holy Son wanted her to follow them, but she rejected them both."

"I think that's perfectly normal. The Grand Yin Body is also a top-tier constitution. Once fully developed, its grand yin power can freeze everything in the world. It's utterly terrifying!"

Many disciples could not help murmuring among themselves when they saw that exceptionally beautiful figure.

Yun Xinyan, the Fourth Holy Daughter, was also one of the holy land's leading figures.

Moreover, Yun Xinyan came to the Martial Arts Arena almost every day. From what they understood, it seemed to be because of her gravely ill father back home.

It would have been strange not to find her at the Martial Arts Arena.

"Condense!"

Yun Xinyan raised her delicate hand, and moisture pervading heaven and earth suddenly coiled around it.

She abruptly raised her hand and swept it outward.

Boom!

In an instant, the moisture transformed into a gigantic water phoenix!

The water phoenix threw back its head and let out a cry toward the sky.

It smashed down upon the enormous stone, and terrifying shock waves swept in every direction in an instant.

With such destructive power, even if it can't shatter the stone, it should leave a mark, right? everyone thought.

As the smoke cleared, the starfall sky stone remained completely intact, without even a single mark!

She still failed... Everyone sighed inwardly.

The powerful backlash made blood trickle from the corner of her mouth, lending her an incomparably poignant beauty.

Yun Xinyan seemed to have known that all of this was to be expected.

She merely smiled helplessly, her figure looking somewhat forlorn.

"It seems I still can't help Father..."
