“Your Excellency, if you don’t have any other instructions, this subordinate will leave first …”

Yang Xiaoran naturally did not understand the meaning behind this jade bottle. Xiao Chen nodded slightly and said, “Go.” He was still holding the jade bottle in his hand. Meng Xian’er had specially sent someone to deliver this jade bottle, so he naturally knew the other party’s intentions.

Now that Lustless Heaven’s influence was growing, Meng Xian’er was obviously hopeful. He still remembered the feelings of the past. In the future, he didn’t need to annexe Dream Immortal Sect’s territory.

Xiao Chen slowly put away the jade bottle. Even though he acted ruthlessly and impermanently now, he would not forget that Meng Xian’er had once shown him kindness in that ancient cave. This was the only thing that made Ling Moyu’s worries unnecessary.

…

At night, Leng Yue was like a hook. Xiao Chen was sitting in the cold hall. His face was abnormally pale. It was clear that fighting with Feng Moyao that day had injured his vitality. On the surface, it seemed to be fine, but it had affected the life and death backlash in his body.

Originally, the Eternal Blossom Leaf Seed could at least protect him for the past few years, but ten years ago, he had been severely injured and had already severely exhausted the life force of the Eternal Blossom Leaf Seed.

“Uh …”

With a muffled snort, Xiao Chen’s complexion became even paler. If he could comprehend the higher level of the Undying Concept and break through to another realm, not only would he be able to completely suppress the life and death backlash in his body, he would at least be able to guarantee that he would be safe in recent years.

However, in the past ten years, he had only comprehended the fourth level of the Undying Concept, “No Situation”. Just this level had greatly increased his cultivation in the past ten years, but it was limited to this. If he wanted to completely suppress the backlash of life and death, relying on the first four levels of the Concept was not enough.

“You are always … so careless.”

Suddenly, a soft voice sounded from behind him. Xiao Chen’s face was already covered in cold sweat. He turned his head slightly and said, “Wei Yang …”

Hua Weiyang slowly walked up and gently lifted his long hair from behind his shoulders. He casually took out a comb from his sleeve and gently combed his hair as he slowly said, “No one can hurt you like this … You went to see the senior who taught you swordsmanship ten years ago.”

“Senior’s cultivation is profound. If it weren’t for his reservations, I would have been injured by his sword if I had used the Li Hen Palm in the end.” Xiao Chen said calmly.

“My heart was beating fast that day. I was always worried that something would happen to you … but I knew that you would definitely come back. As long as you said that you would come back, you would never break your promise.”

Hua Weiyang smiled softly as he slowly tied it up for him.

“It’s been a long time since you’ve personally delivered my hair.”

“That’s right, the last time I woke up, was it two years ago, or three years ago … I’ve already forgotten.” Hua Weiyang said softly, his tone calm, as if he was telling a story.

“Wei Yang …”

Xiao Chen suddenly turned his head and looked at her quietly. At this moment, he suddenly realized that ten years had passed. Over the years, she had sometimes fallen asleep and sometimes awake. He didn’t know when she would fall asleep next, nor did he know when she would wake up next.

Since that’s the case, why did he still want to vent his anger on her? If he were to pour out his anger on her again, when would she wake up again …

“Idiot …”

Hua Weiyang stretched out his finger and gently scratched his nose, as if he was used to, and said playfully, “Everyone is afraid of your lustless Excellency. I’m not afraid. I have to pinch his nose.” As he spoke, he gently pinched his nose.

Seeing her playful appearance, Xiao Chen smiled heartily. No matter how cold and heartless he had become over the years, he could never erase the original tenderness in his heart. However, it was only for the person in front of him.

Right at this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded from outside. Following which, two figures walked in, “Your Excellency.”

One of them was dressed in white and the other in Zi Yi. His face was covered with a veil. Seeing that Hua Weiyang was also in the hall, he knew that he had come in a bit abruptly.

“Palace Master Wei Yang … you’re also here.”

“What? Can’t I be here?”

Hua Weiyang looked at the two of them with a cold gaze. These two people were none other than two of Night Shade’s twenty-four people.

The twenty-four people in Night Shade were the sharpest killing swords in the world that Xiao Chen had personally forged over the years. Under the cover of night, the twenty-four people became the most terrifying shadows in the world, as if they were shadows that followed him everywhere.

The word “Night Shade” frightened countless people, and they had never listened to Xiao Chen’s orders. They had never even heard of Hua Weiyang’s orders.

“Bai Luan, Zi Yuan, you guys leave first.”

Xiao Chen looked at the two of them. The name of the woman in white was Bai Luan, and the name of the woman in Zi Yi was Zi Yuan. The names of the two of them were given by Xiao Chen.

“Yes …”

The two cupped their hands and were about to retreat when Hua Weiyang shook his hand and said, “Forget it, I’m going back to the palace.” As he spoke, he turned around and went back.

“Wei Yang …”

Xiao Chen stretched out his hand to stop her, but in the end, Hua Weiyang still walked farther and farther away. After a while, he turned around. Below, Bai Luan and Zi Yuan did not dare to say anything. It was only after a long time that Xiao Chen asked, “But I found out who that person was during the day.”

Bai Luan cupped his hands and said, “Back in Excellency, this subordinate has found out who that person is. He is from Tai Shi Dao Sect …”

“Oh?”

Xiao Chen did not expect that it would actually be someone from Tai Shi Dao Sect. He recalled the scene from ten years ago and said indifferently, “A hundred-legged bug, you’re dead yet you’re not stiff …”

Back then, the Origin Energy of the Tai Shi Dao Sect had been greatly damaged, but now, it was likely that it would come back again. Furthermore, this time, it was most likely aimed at him.

Zi Yuan whispered, “This Tai Shi Dao Sect is said to be an ancient race bloodline passed down from ancient times. It has always been hidden in the Profound Realm. Currently, people with profound cultivation are unable to leave the Profound Realm, but if they do …”

“I naturally know who they are.”

Xiao Chen’s gaze was indifferent. At this moment, he recalled Shen Quezi from back then, as well as Feng Wuyin. Even now, his soul was still imprisoned by him.

Even though a person with the same cultivation as Shen Quezi was already an ant to him, he knew that his opponent’s true expert was only temporarily unable to come out. Once he came out, it might not be that easy to deal with.

Unless he could break through the Harmonious Stage and reach the True Cave Stage, it would definitely not be easy for him to deal with those old monsters above the Harmonious Stage in Tai Shi Dao Sect.

The Harmony Stage was only the beginning of the four cultivation realms before entering the Sage realm. However, in front of the Ruined Heaven Realm, which was once at its peak, the Harmony Stage was already like a deity.

After the Harmony Stage, it was the True Cave Stage. At the True Cave Stage, they had almost moved mountains and filled the sea. They had entered the heavens and earth, and were unable to do so with all their manpower. Even Heaven Realm Immortal Gods could compete for power. In the past few thousand years, few True Cave Stage experts had appeared in the mortal world.

After the True Cave Stage, there were two stages, the Transcendent Stage and the Sacred Stage. If one wanted to successfully enter the Sage Stage, one had to go through these four stages, undergo countless tribulations, and finally reach the Grand Dao.

However, throughout the ages, there were as many cultivators as the stars in the sky, yet how many of them eventually became saints?

At this moment, Xiao Chen remained silent. If he could reach the True Cave Stage in one fell swoop, then he would truly have mastered half the sky. Even if all the experts in Tai Shi Dao Sect were to show up, there was no need to worry about anything else.

Right at this moment, Zi Yuan suddenly whispered, “In addition, Your Excellency, there is another matter …”

Xiao Chen slowly regained his senses and looked at her, “What is it? Speak.”

“It’s the power of the Frost Lake …”

At this moment, Bai Luan and Zi Yuan’s expressions became very serious. Bai Luan said, “Previously, the people we sent to Xiqi had sent back news that they had discovered the power of the Cold Pool a few days ago. The other half of the Eye of the Cold Pool must be nearby. Now, Excellency has half of the Eye of the Cold Pool. If we can obtain this half of the Eye of the Cold Pool, then the Cold Pool Spirit Vein will be ours.”
