Gu Dao Tian Zong, Qing Yun Peak.
"Master! I want to go! Let me go!"
"Master, Master! I want to go too!"
"Master, I want to go too!"
The three girls looked at their master with eager faces, speaking one after another.
Ye Yun felt somewhat helpless, thinking that these girls were so interested in such matters.
The so-called "such matters" referred to accepting deployment, guarding various resource points, and engaging in life-and-death battles with the invading million demon race.
With the enemy in the open and them in the dark, Ye Yun intended to temper them, but unexpectedly, all three girls were so proactive.
"Alright, Xue Yan and Xiao Xiao, you two will follow the deployment. As for Ling Yi..."
Ye Yun pondered and said, "You, Ling Xin still needs some time to recover and awaken. You should stay here and guard, so that she doesn't see a familiar face upon waking."
As the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain and leaves like pulling silk. Chen Ling Xin's poor condition required slow healing even with the Nine Revolutions Sacred Lotus, so she was still being treated by Gu Lan.
Upon mentioning her sister, Chen Ling Yi also hesitated and ultimately chose to stay, waiting for her sister to wake up.
On the other hand, Lin Xue Yan and Bai Xiao Xiao were extremely delighted when their master agreed.
The two immediately looked at each other, and Bai Xiao Xiao said with a faint smile, "Senior Sister, how about we have a competition to see who kills more demons?"
"You said it, I will definitely kill more in the end!"
Lin Xue Yan's face was full of confidence. Not long ago, she had comprehended intermediate sword intent, her strength greatly increased, and she was looking for a place to show it off.
Ye Yun felt a wave of embarrassment. He felt that although these two young disciples were usually charming and cute, they were essentially tough girls who could twist someone's head off.
"Remember, how many you kill is not important, your life is the most important."
Ye Yun did not forget to remind them, then smiled and said, "By the way, to prevent you from encountering danger, we'll go through the usual procedure."
"Come sit over here, your master will transmit cultivation to you!"
Originally, they were all worried about their master's cultivation, but after so many times, they had gotten used to it.
Although they didn't know the reason, it was clear that with the three of them, they couldn't seem to drain their master dry...
The three girls all sat down obediently, starting with Lin Xue Yan. After all, Ye Yun was already extremely skilled at transmitting cultivation so many times.
There was not much pain, only when the final灌顶 (guàndǐng - an act of transmitting spiritual power or cultivation, often translated as "empowerment" or "impartation") occurred, Lin Xue Yan couldn't help but let out a soft groan.
As the cultivation transmission gradually ended, her cultivation broke through from half-step Emperor level to the sixth level of Emperor level!
[You have bestowed 110 cultivation points to your disciple, congratulations on activating the 50x return, obtaining 5,500 days of cultivation!]
The increase in cultivation by over ten years caused Ye Yun's realm to advance to the seventh level of Dao Cultivation!
Next was Bai Xiao Xiao's turn. After a period of cultivation transmission, her cultivation reached the fifth level of Emperor level.
[You have bestowed 100 days of cultivation to your disciple, congratulations on activating the 100x return, obtaining 10,000 days of cultivation!]
This time, it was an astonishing thirty years of cultivation, allowing Ye Yun to leap across the Dao Cultivation eighth level and reach the ninth level of Dao Cultivation.
"Ling Yi, it's your turn."
Ye Yun smiled and looked at Chen Ling Yi, who quickly sat in front of him, awaiting the cultivation power to be imparted by her master.
Her cultivation was slightly lower, only at the first level of King level, which she had recently broken through to. With Ye Yun's ninth level of Dao Cultivation, transmitting just seventy days of cultivation caused her to reach the eighth level of King level!
This time, the reward was exciting.
[You have bestowed 70 days of cultivation to your disciple, congratulations on activating the 5,000x return, obtaining 35,000 days of cultivation!]
In an instant, a torrent of profound energy surged within Ye Yun's body. This was a century of cultivation obtained through his heaven-defying physique, and the power contained within it was terrifying!
The profound energy realm, which was stuck at the ninth level of Dao Cultivation, surged to the peak of Dao Cultivation in an instant. Unfortunately, the next step was the Saint realm, which could not be broken through purely by profound energy.
But regardless, he was now considered the most powerful person in the Xuán Tiān Continent. In terms of both realm and strength, only Xing Wu, whose depth he could not fathom, needed to be wary of.
Besides that, under the heavens, he was already invincible!
Ye Yun faintly felt the oppressive force coming from the sky above.
It was as if a consciousness was telling him that if he took one more step, destruction would await him!
"This aura... is it a warning to me?"
Facing this threat that seemed to come from heaven and earth, Ye Yun merely looked up at the sky and revealed a cold smile.
"If you want to kill me, go ahead and try. This seat is determined to go to the Heavenly Domain."
Even so, with his current state, it would take quite some time to reach the Saint realm and ascend.
As for absorbing the Extreme Dao Divine Lotus, although becoming a Saint should not be a problem, it was uncertain how long it would take to absorb it completely, so it was not realistic in the short term.
"Forget it, I'll deal with the demon race first, and then go into seclusion to absorb it..."
With his current cultivation, it was more than enough for this demon invasion incident. Next, he just needed to wait for three days to rendezvous with Xing Wu and the others.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
In the reception hall, when Ye Yun saw the cultivators sent by the Immortal Palace, his face showed a hint of surprise.
The visitors were a man and a woman, one on each side.
The woman wore a white silk dress, her eyes like the bright moon, her black hair like a waterfall, appearing ethereal and transcendent, like a celestial maiden.
Upon seeing Ye Yun, she bowed with great dignity and smiled.
"This seat is Yu Ruo Feng, I pay my respects to Elder Ye."
Judging by her appearance and demeanor alone, she seemed harmless, like a delicate lady with no strength to even tie a chicken. Especially since her attire was not suitable for combat.
However, Ye Yun could feel a faint, ethereal sword intent emanating from her. She was clearly an exceptional sword cultivator with an ultimate sword intent.
Beside her stood a robust man, dressed rather casually. As soon as he saw Ye Yun, he laughed heartily.
"This seat is Lan Ao Tian. I have long heard of your great name, Lord Ye Yun. To see you today, you truly are a man of exceptional talent!"
Hearing their introductions, Ye Yun took a while to recover.
It was not surprising that he was shocked. Yu Ruo Feng and Lan Ao Tian were no ordinary individuals. One was the renowned Palace Master of Yu Luo Immortal Palace, the foremost female sword immortal of the Eastern Region.
At the same time, she was also Yu Wen Ya's master. The former was adopted by Yu Ruo Feng at a young age and raised in the Immortal Palace.
The other was the former Palace Master of Ling Long Immortal Palace, and the father of Lan Zhao Yue and Lan Zhao Ye. Judging by his demeanor, he was indeed a part of the family.
Ye Yun looked at the two and couldn't help but sigh.
"I truly didn't expect that it would be two seniors accompanying me."
Yu Ruo Feng smiled faintly, "What's there to it? Although we have retired, it is not a bad thing if we can contribute some more."
"Wen Ya has told me everything. Since it concerns the human race, I will cooperate with you wholeheartedly this time."
"Me too!"
Lan Ao Tian echoed from the side, clearly a straightforward person.
But just as Ye Yun was about to say something, Lan Ao Tian suddenly changed the subject, a grin spreading across his face.
"But before that..."
Lan Ao Tian sized up Ye Yun for a moment, then his eyes suddenly flashed with sharp light. He instantly conjured a long saber in his palm and slashed it towards Ye Yun.
The attack came without any warning, and the two were at very close range. The powerful blade cut towards Ye Yun's neck.
