Threat!
Su Junyue and the other two felt this deeply, a threat that seeped into their very bones. Ye Xuan smiled faintly at this, saying nothing, as establishing authority in such a manner was not necessarily a bad thing.
However, from the attitude of this Dragon Clan powerhouse, it seemed that Hei was highly respected within the Dragon Clan. He wondered what Hei had done to earn such gratitude from the Dragon Clan.
"By the way, Mr. Ye."
"I just heard you mention that you were going to take action against a power called the Tai Xuan Holy Kingdom. I haven't heard of this power before. Is it a second-class or first-class Holy Kingdom?"
Su Junyue, "........."
"It's an unranked Holy Kingdom."
Ye Xuan smiled faintly and continued, "I just received news that the Tai Xuan Holy Kingdom sent people to harm the Xuan Alliance."
"En!"
"There's such a thing!!"
Ao Yunhai heard this. He was already wondering how to repay Ye Xuan, and now here was an opportunity. He had finally managed to come out, and he couldn't go back empty-handed.
"A mere unranked Holy Kingdom dares to offend the benefactor of my Dragon Clan!"
Immediately, a sky-piercing killing intent surged from Ao Yunhai's body. The moment the killing intent appeared, Su Junyue and the other knew that the Tai Xuan Holy Kingdom was finished.
As expected!
Just as the two of them had this thought, Ao Yunhai's voice rang out again, "Since I've come out, Mr. Ye, I'll take care of this Tai Xuan Holy Kingdom for you."
"Before I return to the Dragon Clan, I will personally visit the Tai Xuan Holy Kingdom."
"This, it doesn't seem right."
Ye Xuan clearly hadn't expected Ao Yunhai to personally go to the Tai Xuan Holy Kingdom. While it was a good thing, it felt somewhat inappropriate to have such a powerful expert make the trip.
"Hmph, what's there to it?"
"Compared to what Mr. Ye has done for our patriarch and the Dragon Clan, it's nothing significant."
Ao Yunhai was suddenly full of vigor. Since the reward had been personally handed over to Ye Xuan, he continued, "There's no time to delay. In that case, I'll return to the Dragon Clan now and, by the way, help Mr. Ye deal with that Tai Xuan Holy Kingdom."
"This... Then I'll have to trouble Elder Yunhai."
"Heh heh, Mr. Ye, you're too kind."
Ao Yunhai's impression of Ye Xuan improved greatly upon seeing how humble the elder brother of his patriarch was. It was no wonder the patriarch respected Mr. Ye so much; there was indeed a reason for it.
"Then, Mr. Ye, I'll take my leave."
*Swish*~
As the words fell, Ao Yunhai's figure vanished from his original spot. Ye Xuan looked meaningfully in the direction Ao Yunhai had disappeared, a gut feeling telling him that this Dragon Clan Second Elder, Ao Yunhai, was likely at least at the level of a Haoyue five-fold heaven.
"Hoo~"
After Ao Yunhai left, Su Junyue and Su Qianmo let out a deep sigh of relief. They had truly held their breath, almost suffocating.
"That person was so strong!"
After a few brief words, Su Junyue and the other two found an excuse and left the great hall.
What a joke?
Just the presence of Ao Yunhai had scared them half to death. If a few more people like that came, they would probably die of fright, if not be killed outright. It truly wasn't a place for humans.
A short while later.
Ye Xuan was the only one left in the great hall.
He then brought up his status panel.
Host: Ye Xuan
Age: 28
Physique: 35000 (10 for a normal person) Realm: Peak of Star Seven-fold Heaven
Skills: Click to view skill list
Items: [High-Grade Gene Potion] x18, [Ancestor-Grade Golden Pyramid Spaceship] x1, Ancestor-Grade Long Sword x2, Ancestor-Grade Spear x1, [Mortal Grade·Immortal Breaking Pill] x20, [Mysterious Grade·Immortal Breaking Pill] x15, [Heavenly Grade·Immortal Breaking Pill] x5, [Exquisite Pagoda] x1, Time-Space Disc x1, God-Slaying Thunder Spear x1
Immortal Crystals: 30 million Mid-grade Saint Crystals, 2.5 billion Low-grade Saint Crystals, 356 billion Supreme-grade Immortal Crystals
Wealth: 300 million Ziwei Coins
..........
Looking at his status panel, his physique was 3500 times that of a normal person. Such a concept couldn't even be described as divine. As for resources, they were as vast as a mountain.
"Tsk tsk, so many resources. Wouldn't it be a shame not to use them?"
With this thought, Ye Xuan directly threw all the spirit medicines to the Nine-leaf Sacred Spirit Grass. The latter, seeing the vast ocean of spirit medicines, didn't need to be told what happened and excitedly plunged its head in.
As for Ye Xuan, his figure flickered, and he instantly arrived at the seventh floor of the Exquisite Pagoda. He immediately took out tens of millions of mid-grade Saint Crystals and 500 million low-grade Saint Crystals, then entered cultivation.
Inside the Exquisite Pagoda, time had no meaning for cultivation.
As waves of Saint Crystals were consumed, Ye Xuan's realm grew stronger at a visible rate.
Peak of Star Seven-fold Heaven!
Star Eight-fold Heaven!
.........
Peak of Star Eight-fold Heaven!
.........
Finally, after all the heaven-defying resources were depleted, Ye Xuan's realm soared to the peak of Star Nine-fold Heaven, just one step away from the Haoyue realm.
At this moment, Ye Xuan's realm alone was on par with Su Junyue and the strongest ancestor of the Tai Xuan Holy Kingdom, though this was before Su Junyue had broken through to the Haoyue realm.
"Still a bit short."
Sensing the energy within him nearing its limit, the bottleneck of the Haoyue realm. "Let's see how difficult it is."
"Since there are no more Saint Crystals, let's use Immortal Crystals to fill the gap."
"Ten billion Supreme-grade Immortal Crystals!"
*Swish*!
In the next moment, tens of billions of Supreme-grade Immortal Crystals piled up like mountains around Ye Xuan. The sight was utterly breathtaking, a vista of pure crystal, all Supreme-grade Immortal Crystals.
"Divine Thunder Bloodline, swallow it for me!!"
*Zzlala*~
With a thought, in an instant, the area within three thousand feet of Ye Xuan transformed into an ocean of lightning. The violent devouring power instantly sucked the Supreme-grade Immortal Crystals dry, and then more distant Immortal Crystals were consumed.
Fifteen minutes!
Thirty minutes! Fifty minutes!!
In less than half a day, the tens of billions of Supreme-grade Immortal Crystals were consumed. Then, Ye Xuan flipped his hand and took out another ten billion Supreme-grade Immortal Crystals.
And so it went...
Three waves!
Ten waves! Thirty waves!!
*Crack*~~
He didn't know how many waves had been consumed, but time within the Exquisite Pagoda passed for about five days. It was on this day that the shackles of the Haoyue realm shattered. Then, with the impact of another wave of ten billion Supreme-grade Immortal Crystals, it was violently broken open.
Haoyue Realm!
Indeed, at this moment, Ye Xuan finally experienced a qualitative change, stepping into the Haoyue realm, a realm that countless cultivators dreamed of.
"Heh heh, this... is the Haoyue realm."
Ye Xuan looked at his status panel. The 'record' of only a little more than half of his Supreme-grade Immortal Crystals remaining didn't cause him any heartache. Compared to breaking through to the Haoyue realm, the consumption of these resources was utterly insignificant.
Let alone that more than half remained, he would have been happy even if all of them were consumed.
At this moment, Ye Xuan could somewhat understand why Su Junyue had been so excited back then. The feeling of becoming stronger was as wonderful as floating into the clouds, indescribably beautiful.
