88: Chapter 88 turns out to be a pretty boy.

With half an hour left until the final ranking tournament, Ye Xuan returned to the rest area. Just as he was about to step into his room, someone tapped him on the shoulder.

"Senior Brother Ye, I knew it! With your strength, you would definitely be able to make it to the final step!"

Ye Xuan turned his head and realized it was Yun Zhe. The surprise in his eyes faded slightly, and he chuckled, "I appreciate your kind words, Junior Brother, but in this ranking tournament, we are opponents."

[Name: Yun Zhe]

[Realm: Spirit Profound Realm, 2nd Level, Late Stage]

[Physique: Evil God Physique (Awakened) (Gold), Ice Flame God Body (Gold)]

[Luck: Son of Luck (Gold), Three Thousand Weak Waters (Gold), Roaming the Nine Heavens (Red), Helpful Noble (Blue)]

[Favorability: 90]

[Fate: "Evil God" (Protagonist), "life modification without regret" (Supporting Character)]

[Life Fate: A day ago, after some tender moments at Inner Sect Elder Leng Qianqiu's Elder Pavilion, Yun Zhe obtained a Grade 2 Superior Lingxuan Pill and successfully broke through to the late stage of the 2nd Level of the Spirit Profound Realm.]

[Yesterday afternoon, Inner Sect Elder Leng Qianqiu took Yun Zhe to Sect Leader Long Baili's residence and severely humiliated this Outer Sect leader. Afterward, Sect Leader Long Baili was punished and sent into the forbidden area, Endless Purgatory.]

[Subsequently, Zhao Erhu and Zhao Dahu were also thrown into the Endless Purgatory for provoking Yun Zhe.]

[Participating in the Inner Sect Competition today, Inner Sect Elder Leng Qianqiu ignored Yun Zhe's objections and insisted on having him skip ten rounds of matches, successfully advancing.]

[In the afternoon, at the hour of Wei, he competed against Ye Xuan and Long En of the Azure Dragon Society for the top ten. Unable to defeat them, he lost the match and only took third place.]

[Inner Sect Elder Leng Qianqiu, refusing to accept this, wanted to rig the results, invalidate the scores of Ye Xuan and Long En, and award the first place in the Inner Sect Competition to Yun Zhe.]

[Who would have thought that Long En's guardian could not stand it anymore and made a move to suppress Inner Sect Elder Leng Qianqiu, only to be saved by the guardian of Inner Sect Elder Leng Qianqiu's younger brother. Later, Inner Sect Elder Leng Qianqiu's younger brother, Leng Qianming, learned everything, apologized to Ye Xuan, and compensated him with five catties of Source Stones.]

[Yun Zhe was favored by a Huangxuan Realm elder, taken as a disciple, taught all of the elder's skills, and passed down a mysterious profound art.]

[The new disciple of the Azure Dragon Society, Long En, was punished by Leng Qianming to the third level of the Endless Purgatory and ordered to be confined for three months.]

[In his depression, Long En accidentally obtained a supreme sword profound technique in the third level of Purgatory — "Demon Suppressing Art". Half a month later, relying on his own comprehension, he mastered this sword profound technique.]

[A month later, Yun Zhe was invited by Crown Prince Zhou Yuan of the Great Zhou Dynasty to come to the Great Zhou's Luoyang City, where he, Crown Prince Zhou Yuan, Nan Xu, Ye Xuan, and others traveled together to the Great Zhou Secret Realm.]

[Later, inside the Great Zhou Secret Realm, Yun Zhe obtained a Heaven and Earth Divine Fire — Zixiao Green Flame. After refining the Divine Fire, he awakened the Zixiao Divine Thunder Body.]

[Unexpectedly, Yun Zhe encountered Crown Prince Zhou Yuan's fiancée, Nan Xu, who had been poisoned with love poison...]

"Good grief, this kid really has good luck." Ye Xuan was amazed once again. "There's even a Zixiao Green Flame? What a great opportunity!"

However, having such a little brother following behind him, the future should be quite good.

"Long En's supreme sword profound technique, [Demon Suppressing Art], huh? Interesting. Since I already know about it, then it's all mine!" Ye Xuan took a deep look at Yun Zhe.

As for that guy named Long En, he might be a protagonist as well.

To be able to obtain such an opportunity, how could he be a mere supporting character?

"Your Senior Brother's foundation is truly not simple, Yun Zhe. If I'm not mistaken, he should have reached the 10th Level of the True Profound Realm before breaking through to the Spirit Profound Realm."

Jasmine's aura within Yun Zhe's spirit ring overflowed slightly, and a hint of surprise appeared in her crimson eyes.

"Heh, for a hundred thousand years, this is the first time I've seen someone in this mortal world reach this step. The Eternal Dao Foundation has actually been achieved by your Senior Brother. If you hadn't practiced the "Heavenly Wolf Prison Divine Canon", you probably wouldn't have had the strength to fight him this time."

Hearing this, Yun Zhe's heart sank. "Ah, what is the Eternal Dao Foundation?"

He wanted a friend who could hone himself, but he didn't want a mountain that he could never overcome in his entire life!

"Perhaps your Senior Brother doesn't even know what the Eternal Dao Foundation is himself. To reach it unknowingly, that is truly interesting."

Jasmine couldn't help but recall that peerless talent from the Upper Realm, who was equally stunning to the world. The killing intent in her eyes deepened, and she then explained to Yun Zhe: "The Eternal Dao Foundation is the ultimate of the Nine Realms of Humanity. It is rumored that if someone can push their realm to the 10th level in every realm, and subsequently reach this step in every realm thereafter, they can obtain a Heaven-Bestowed Divine Profound Technique. Even when they reach the Dixuan Realm—what you call the Great Emperor—they would be enough to contend against Divine Profound experts!"

"Ah, why didn't you tell me about this before, Jasmine?"

Yun Zhe was a bit annoyed. If he could walk this path, wouldn't his path to invincibility be even stronger in the future?

"Heh, you can't do it right now. Besides, I originally intended to wait until you reached the King Profound Realm to tell you, so you could gather enough resources and then re-cultivate, re-walking the previous cultivation realms to achieve the Eternal Dao Foundation. Only in this way can you obtain a Heaven-Bestowed Divine Profound Technique!"

Jasmine stood up from the bed, a hint of nostalgia faintly visible on her exquisite face: "After the competition ends, no matter what place you get, you must dissipate your cultivation to the 9th Level of the True Profound Realm. Using life-and-death combat, start charging toward the 10th Level and re-enter the Spirit Profound Realm!"

"Okay, Jasmine, I will listen to you. If Senior Brother Ye Xuan can reach this step, there is no reason I cannot."

Although there was a sense of frustration in Yun Zhe's heart, he refused to give up and a renewed desire to excel grew within him.

Jasmine said patiently: "Yun Zhe, you need to work harder. Your Senior Brother has also awakened the Zixiao Divine Thunder Body and the Chaos Divine Fire Body. For a talent possessing these two types of divine bodies that are extremely lethal, his cultivation speed will only be fast, not slow."

She was now very interested in Ye Xuan. She had once used her own realm to probe Ye Xuan, but could only see something different from ordinary people through the haze...

One must know, Jasmine had paid an unknown price to cultivate Yun Zhe to this day.

When he was in the Outer Sect, he wanted to obtain the legacy "Evil God Art" from the forbidden area, Sunset Ravine, but discovered that he couldn't obtain this profound art through the legacy.

Later, it was only through effort after effort that Yun Zhe was able to obtain the Demigod Source Blood and awaken his own physique—the "Evil God Physique". It could be said to have been extremely arduous.

A thought suddenly occurred to Jasmine: If this kid Ye Xuan were her disciple, how great would that be? The possibility of returning to the Upper Realm for revenge in the future would be even greater!

"Zhao Erhu, has he been dealt with by you, Junior Brother?" Ye Xuan calmed his mood and looked at Yun Zhe kindly.

Yun Zhe was a little surprised, but he nodded and admitted: "Junior Brother has formed a deadly grudge with that person, and I didn't want a poisonous snake hiding behind me in the future, so..."

The conversation between the two naturally caught the attention of Inner Sect Elder Leng Qianqiu. When she saw Ye Xuan's face, which could be described as immortal, she was stunned for three breaths. First, she was annoyed, and then she realized, muttering to herself: "What a Pretty Boy, he looks just like a woman!"
