"Elder Ye actually broke through?"
Inside the room, Xu Binglan, who had just finished her cultivation.
She looked at Ye Yun, who had entered a state of breakthrough before her, with astonishment.
"That's not right. Didn't Shuai Shuai say he was only a quasi-Heavenly Immortal before? This is clearly a breakthrough to the True Saint realm..."
How long has it been, and he has already crossed a major realm? How did he cultivate?
However, what truly shocked Xu Binglan beyond measure was what happened next.
As Ye Yun, amidst intense celestial phenomena, gradually advanced from the quasi-True Saint to the True Saint realm, his cultivation showed no signs of stabilizing.
"What's going on? It's still increasing?"
Xu Binglan stared blankly, as Ye Yun's cultivation was actually soaring after breaking through the realm!
From True Saint first level, to second level...
True Saint third level!
True Saint fourth level!
...
Xu Binglan watched with her own eyes as Ye Yun's cultivation continuously surged.
Until finally, after easily reaching the peak of the True Saint realm, he barely crossed that barrier...
Quasi-True Immortal!
But in Xu Binglan's eyes, this was not a quasi-True Immortal at all, it was like a god!
"What exactly did Elder Ye do?"
Even with Xu Binglan's knowledge, she could not explain what was happening before her.
Although it was not unheard of for someone to gain an extra one or two minor realm advancements during a major breakthrough due to accumulating too much primordial Xuan Qi.
But from ancient times to the present, no one had ever directly crossed a major realm like this!
Until finally, the celestial phenomena gradually faded, and Ye Yun slowly opened his eyes.
He immediately saw Xu Binglan sitting before him with a look of astonishment, and asked with some confusion.
"What's wrong? Is there something written on my face?"
"There's nothing written, but Elder Ye's cultivation..."
Xu Binglan's reminder made Ye Yun snap back to reality and notice the surge in his cultivation.
It was clear that the seven hundred years of cultivation previously stored by the system for him had taken effect...
However, after all, seven hundred years of Heavenly Immortal realm cultivation was a bit lacking for the True Saint realm, but it had still elevated him to quasi-True Immortal...
At the same time, Ye Yun understood what caused Xu Binglan's expression, and he coughed lightly.
"I'm not too sure what happened, I was just refining and it turned out like this."
"..."
Xu Binglan looked full of doubt, clearly not believing his words even a little bit.
Knowing that he couldn't explain it clearly, Ye Yun changed the subject.
"Never mind me, let's talk about you, did you achieve your goal?"
Mentioning this, Xu Binglan stopped asking further questions and nodded.
"Yes, the Yin-Yang fusion is complete. I only need some time in seclusion, and I should be able to officially break through to the Emperor tier."
"That's wonderful, then congratulations in advance, Elder Xu, on ascending to the supreme Emperor tier!"
Xu Binglan nodded slightly, looking at him, and said with a hint of gratitude.
"It's mainly thanks to you. Is there any reward you desire, as long as I can fulfill it?"
"..."
Ye Yun coughed lightly and did not make any demands, but instead reminded her.
"I think, perhaps you should put on some clothes?"
Hearing this, Xu Binglan finally realized and looked down at herself, her face instantly flushed red.
"I'm sorry, I forgot..."
She had been so focused on looking at Ye Yun that she had completely forgotten this rather important matter.
Ye Yun couldn't help but smile wryly, then turned away and silently adjusted his sitting posture...
A moment later, the sound of clothes rustling was heard again, followed by Xu Binglan's soft voice.
"I'm done... you can turn around now..."
Ye Yun then turned to look, and Xu Binglan had changed back into her original long dress.
It proved that some people only showed their full charm when paired with beautiful clothes.
Xu Binglan was such a person, noble and elegant, and coupled with this white dress, it inspired a genuine desire to defile her.
"That..."
Xu Binglan lowered her head and said, "Elder Ye, if you keep looking at me like that, even I will feel shy..."
Although she had not actually experienced all of this, it did not mean she did not understand.
On the contrary, she understood the meaning behind a person's gaze in certain aspects with absolute clarity.
If it were one of her disciples giving her such a look, they might have already been sent to the far reaches of space for self-reflection.
"Cough, cough, I'm sorry..."
Ye Yun realized he had lost his composure and quickly coughed lightly.
"Let's discuss official matters first. Regarding the conditions I desire, I can't think of anything for now. Just owe me for now."
"If I need anything someday, I will let you know."
For now, with Feng Qingxian guarding this place, he had no need for her help.
Hearing this, Xu Binglan pondered for a moment and nodded.
"Alright, it's decided then."
After speaking, she pondered for another moment, then suddenly asked.
"Elder Ye, can I ask you something unrelated?"
"Hm? Just say it."
"Elder Ye, what exactly is your relationship with Senior Feng? Are you lovers?"
"Uh..."
Ye Yun was stunned by the question, then said helplessly.
"Our relationship is a bit complicated to explain, but it's not what you think, nor are we lovers."
"Then..."
At this point, a glimmer of light flashed in Xu Binglan's eyes, and she immediately asked.
"Then Elder Ye, do you have someone you like? Or do you have a lover?"
"This..."
This question truly hit Ye Yun's sore spot.
Finally, he took a deep breath and nodded.
"Yes, I do, and I like her very much."
"..."
Xu Binglan fell silent.
After a while, she looked up and asked a question that made Ye Yun's heart leap.
"Is it... Xing Wu?"
Hearing this name, Ye Yun was slightly taken aback, looking at her in surprise.
Xu Binglan said softly, "I'm guessing, but looking at your reaction, I must have guessed correctly."
"Besides her, or Senior Feng, I can't think of anyone else who would be worthy of your affection."
This showed the high regard she had for Ye Yun.
She was aware of Ye Yun's background and identity, and naturally knew about Xing Wu, who had come out of the same ascension channel as him and had a close relationship with him.
If Ye Yun had a lover, it would essentially be either Feng Qingxian or Xing Wu.
However, Ye Yun did not respond, not admitting his relationship with Xing Wu just because of this, lest it bring trouble to himself, Chaofeng Mountain, and even Xing Wu.
"Elder Xu, may I know why you are asking these questions?"
Hearing this, Xu Binglan pondered for a moment, then surprisingly grabbed Ye Yun's hand.
The softness and warm touch of her palm made Ye Yun pause.
Xu Binglan tilted her head and showed him a gentle smile.
"Although it might not be appropriate, I still want to tell you that if you have any intentions of becoming my lover in the future, you can come to Hongchen Mountain to find me anytime."
"And no matter the circumstances, I will always stand by your side."
