16: Yao Xi, the time has come for the Holy Land of Yao Guang to need you.

When Ye Wen returned to the Lingxu Grotto-Heaven,

the Sect Head and his group immediately surrounded him.

They had also witnessed that incomparably terrifying Lightning Tribulation.

They knew that it must have been Ye Wen Undergoing Tribulation, and seeing him return safely now meant the tribulation was a success.

Starting from zero and reaching the Four Extremities Realm in just two years, they had witnessed the rise of a Prodigy Genius.

"Ye Wen... did you succeed?" the Sect Head asked Ye Wen with some excitement.

Although he had already guessed it, he still asked Ye Wen for confirmation.

"Naturally. Advancing to the Four Extremities Realm is just my starting point. Sect Head, there's no need for such worry. However, it seems my existence can no longer be hidden," Ye Wen said with a smile.

"It's fine. In the Southern Region of the Eastern Wasteland, the Ji Family and the Yaoguang Holy Land have the final say. Our Lingxu Grotto-Heaven is considered a subordinate force of the Yaoguang Holy Land. So you don't need to worry about anything; the Yaoguang Holy Land will recruit you."

"This also fulfills your dream of entering a Holy Land. I just didn't expect that you would grow to this Realm in only two years. While it's partly due to your Yin-Yang Physique, your hard cultivation is also a key factor."

The Sect Head was deeply moved by Ye Wen's growth. In two and a half years, he had already grown to the Four Extremities Realm, which is the lifelong destination for ordinary Cultivators.

A person in the Four Extremities Realm can already establish a small force or start a Family power.

One must know that he himself was only in the Dragon Transformation Realm.

"The Four Extremities is not my end. My dream is to become a Great Emperor. The Four Extremities Realm can only be said to be the very first step," Ye Wen did not hide his thoughts.

This was also the reason why he underwent the tribulation publicly. He wanted to tell the world that he, Ye Wen, had arrived.

His goal was to attract the attention of the Yaoguang Holy Land.

"Yes, the Lingxu Grotto-Heaven is just your starting point. As for where your end is, you will have to continue walking the path," the Sect Head and his group were very satisfied with Ye Wen.

Investing in Ye Wen was the best decision their Lingxu Grotto-Heaven had ever made.

They believed Ye Wen could definitely advance to become a Mighty One.

Even the Dao Severing King might not be his limit.

"Then, I'll go back first to stabilize my Realm. If people from the Holy Land come, just call me," Ye Wen bid farewell to the Sect Head and the others.

Then he returned to his own mountain peak.

For the next few days, Ye Wen spent his time stabilizing his Four Extremities Realm while also accompanying Weiwei and the child.

A week later.

Yaoguang Holy Land.

On a tall mountain peak, amidst the pervasive purple mist, a young girl sat cross-legged on a rock. She looked like a divine lotus just beginning to bloom, her skin crystalline, her black hair fluttering, incomparably ethereal. Her eyes shone like black gems, and her willow-leaf eyebrows, with just a slight knit, possessed ten thousand kinds of charm.

With her ribbons fluttering and her long dress dancing, the curves of her proud jade-like body were outlined in undulating, graceful contours. Her devilish figure could be said to enchant all living beings. Her jade body shimmered with a holy radiance, making her look peerlessly sexy and moving, yet she was enveloped by such a halo—half angel, half demoness—giving people a sense of illusion.

After sitting cross-legged on the rock for a long time, the girl heard a voice coming from behind her.

"Saintess, the Holy Master requests your presence." A maidservant flew behind the girl, acting very respectfully.

"What does the Holy Master want with me?" The girl was somewhat surprised that the busy Holy Master actually had time to seek her out.

"I'm not sure, but it should be related to the six major Grotto-Heavens in the Yan State. I heard that a Prodigy has appeared in the Yan State, and not long ago, he even underwent a tribulation to advance to the Four Extremities Realm."

The maidservant told the Saintess everything she knew.

"A Prodigy? Four Extremities Realm?" The girl was somewhat surprised.

"The tiny Yan State could produce a Four Extremities Realm? If that's really the case, he could be considered a Genius at most; calling him a Prodigy is overstating it." The girl smiled and shook her head.

She didn't expect the Holy Master would actually believe these rumors.

"Saintess... that youth... seems to have only used two years... I heard he only stepped into the world of cultivation two years ago," the maidservant replied to the Saintess cautiously.

"Two years? What kind of joke is this? Did he start cultivating while he was still in the womb? Or is he not human? To go from never cultivating to advancing to the Four Extremities Realm in two years—is he an Emperor's Son or something?" Hearing the maidservant's words, the girl felt this matter was too absurd.

"I don't know, but the Holy Master calling you over should be related to this Prodigy." As Yao Xi's personal maidservant, she still knew many things.

"Alright." Yao Xi stood up, left her mountain peak, and headed toward the Holy Master's mountain palace.

She soon arrived at the palace on the Holy Master's mountain. When Yao Xi walked in, she heard the Elders and the Holy Master arguing inextricably.

When Yao Xi entered, everyone's gaze turned toward her.

"Yao Xi, you've come. Come and sit down." Seeing Yao Xi, the Yaoguang Holy Master showed a smile and motioned for her to come and sit.

Seeing a group of Elders staring at her gave Yao Xi a premonition that something was wrong.

However, she still obediently went to the Elders' side and finally sat down next to an old woman.

The old woman looked at Yao Xi beside her, a brilliant smile appearing in her eyes.

This completely confused Yao Xi. 'What are you all laughing at?'

"Cough, Yao Xi. You aren't young anymore this year." The Holy Master's words left Yao Xi stunned.

"Holy Master? And Elders, what do you want? You didn't call me here to play matchmaker, did you?" Yao Xi had a feeling these old fogies were thinking about marrying her off.

"You figured it out?" The Holy Master looked at Yao Xi with some surprise.

"Ah? Holy Master, are you serious? You're willing to marry me off?" Hearing the reaction of the Holy Master and the others, Yao Xi was also dazed.

No, are you for real?

"How could we marry you off? You are the Saintess of our Holy Land. If you marry, it must be to one of our own." The Holy Master said with a serious face, "We called you here to tell you a piece of good news."

"In one of our subordinate forces, the Lingxu Grotto-Heaven, a top-tier Prodigy has appeared. His Physique is suspected to be the Yin-Yang Physique. Our people have already gone to the Lingxu Grotto-Heaven to check."

"There is a high probability it is the Yin-Yang Physique. This also explains how he could go from just entering cultivation two years ago to advancing to the Four Extremities Realm now; such a Physique can indeed achieve this."

"Because he comes from our subordinate force, we plan to bring him back. And then... because he has the Yin-Yang Physique, he needs a woman for Dual Cultivation."

"A woman who performs Dual Cultivation with him can also have her strength increased rapidly. This is the most suitable Physique for Dual Cultivation and also the strongest Physique for advancement."

"In order to prevent him from being snatched away by other Holy Lands, we can only have you, Yao Xi, marry him. This way, he will be one of our own, and other Holy Lands won't be able to interfere."

"We've investigated that Prodigy youth; he has a good character and is very gentle toward women. He has already married a woman in the Lingxu Grotto-Heaven. Furthermore, they have a son, born just a week ago."

"After the child was born, he advanced to the Four Extremities Realm. Such a Prodigy youth cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of other Holy Lands."

The Holy Master's words made Yao Xi nearly break down.

'You old fogey, you want me to marry a man who is already married?'

Seeing the reluctance on Yao Xi's face, the Holy Master couldn't help but continue, "Of course, we aren't asking you to marry him immediately. We want you to meet him first, see how you get along, and then we'll talk." Only then did Yao Xi's heart relax slightly.

"Fine, I need to see the person before I decide. Then, I'll be heading back." After bowing respectfully to the Holy Master and the Elders, Yao Xi stood up and left.

In her heart, she had already started cursing them out.
