158: A tiny piece of supreme bone?

Immediately, she looked at Lord Xu and asked respectfully, "Then, may I ask if Lord Xu can build a bridge for my disciple?"

If Leng Lingshuang could join a Sect in the Upper Realm, her status would also double. How could Wang Cuihua compare to her then?

Xu Wei smiled indifferently and said, "My Xu Family is a great clan in Eastern Profound. Bringing someone back to the Upper Realm is just a small matter..."

Little did he know, the Guest Elder of the Xu Family behind him opened his eyes and glanced at Xu Wei disdainfully, snorting coldly in his heart.

Hmph!

How dare he show off!

Just a small matter?

To travel between the Upper Realm and the Lower Realm, one must pass through the World Barrier. This barrier cannot be crossed unless one reaches the Dao Integration Realm. The remaining methods are spatial teleportation arrays and specially refined spatial Talismans.

Although the former can be used at any time, it consumes a huge amount of energy each time, equivalent to the Xu Family's total annual income. If it weren't for that person from the Ji Family wanting to descend to the Lower Realm, how could Xu Wei be worthy?

The latter is much more cost-effective. This time, Xu Wei is also returning via a Talisman. The only inconvenience of this Talisman is that it can only be used by one person and is disposable. The Xu Family only prepared two. How could he bring this woman back to the Upper Realm?

Or should I, this old man, not return?

However, Zhao Qi and Leng Lingshuang, master and disciple, knew nothing of this, so they both wore excited expressions.

"Many... many thanks, Lord Zhao!!" Zhao Qi stood up excitedly and cupped her hands. She hadn't expected the other party to agree so readily.

Leng Lingshuang's delicate body also trembled slightly, her heart filled with excitement.

"Alright, it's settled then. After your Heavenly Sword Sect competition tomorrow, you two can come with me..." Xu Wei stood up with his hands behind his back and said.

"Ah?"

"I'm going too?" Zhao Qi looked surprised and immediately froze in place. She really hadn't expected the other party to be so kind as to take her along too.

Xu Wei smiled indifferently, said nothing, and strolled out, deliberately maintaining a hint of mystery, leaving only the shocked master and disciple.

After leaving the Second Mountain.

"Old Wang, you've worked hard on this journey. There shouldn't be any danger here, so why don't you go back and rest first?" Xu Wei looked at the old man in front of him and smiled respectfully, trying to find a way to send this old ghost away. After all, he had to restrain himself a bit when the old man was around.

He was bored and planned to wander around. The feeling of showing off was simply too exhilarating. In the Upper Realm, where could he show off?

But now, the Lower Realm was full of opportunities!

If he didn't go and show off, wouldn't it be a wasted trip?

The old man, called Old Wang, frowned as he looked at him. How could he not see through the other's thoughts? However, after remembering his wife's instructions, he nodded.

"Alright."

"However, this old man hopes Young Master Xu will not go too far. After all, we are all of the Human Race. If news from here reaches the Upper Realm, it might affect the overall situation of the Xu Family..."

Old Wang said meaningfully at the end, then turned and disappeared.

Xu Wei narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched him leave, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

"Hmph!"

"How could I not understand?"

"If your brother weren't at the Void Refinement Realm, I would have had Mother expel you from the Family long ago, and you still dare to show off in front of me!"

Although Xu Wei was lustful, he wasn't stupid. Otherwise, he wouldn't have endured for so long. Even in the Lower Realm, he wouldn't force himself on anyone. At most, after showing off, he would let the other party willingly offer themselves.

This doesn't count as doing bad things, right?

After all, it's a mutually consensual thing!

Immediately after, he turned and went down the mountain, looking up at the crescent moon with a slight smile.

At the same time.

Night sky.

Heavenly Sword Sect, on the path to the Sect.

"Senior Brother Shen has been in secluded cultivation in his room ever since he returned during the day. Is it alright if I take Senior Sister to the guest room first?" Long Stick Li led Xia Youyue, his demeanor respectful and his manners refined.

"You're too kind..."

Xia Youyue nodded, while secretly wondering.

"Senior Brother is in secluded cultivation again?"

"Could it be that he's about to Breakthrough again?"

"How long has it been since he entered the Soul Transformation Realm? It shouldn't be possible..."

The willow tree hidden in her Sea of Consciousness sensed her emotional fluctuations and smiled indifferently. She had heard Xia Youyue mention before how powerful her Prodigy Senior Brother was, going from Golden Core to Soul Transformation in just one day, crossing a major Realm. He possessed powerful talent in body, sword, and array formations, especially in the Dao of the Sword, where he could destroy a Demon Emperor with a single sword strike, leveling thousands of miles of the Heavenly Demon Cave, and so on.

She admitted that he was indeed a Genius, but not to the extent that it would shock the willow tree. She had seen too many ephemeral Prodigies. Throughout these endless years, how many Prodigies had their bones buried on the Immortal Ascension Road? Even if one Cultivated quickly, what use was it without an immortal destiny?

Xia Youyue, however, was different. Born Supreme, possessing a supreme bone, she was destined to achieve Immortal Ascension. It was only when she reached the step of contending for immortality that the true power of such an Innate divine object would be unleashed, letting the world understand what it meant to be Supreme.

Having heard it a thousand, ten thousand times, her Senior Brother's Cultivation speed was fast, but he overlooked the essence of Cultivation. His foundation must be unstable, which would greatly affect how many layers he could support when forging his dao palace during the Void Refinement Realm, let alone integrating with the Dao after forging the dao palace... "You said he entered the Soul Transformation Realm before. Now, his Breakthrough should be to the Soul Transformation Middle Stage..." The willow tree's voice softly echoed in her mind.

"No!"

"Sister Liu, you don't understand Senior Brother's Prodigy. When you think he's entered the Middle Stage, Senior Brother might have already..."

"What?"

"Could it be Perfection?"

Xia Youyue pondered for a moment and thought, "It's very possible he's already reached the Void Refinement Realm..."

Senior Brother was always like this, never breaking through according to logic, subverting human cognition.

As soon as she said this, the willow tree scoffed, "Heh, you little girl have really been brainwashed by him. Do you know what process one has to go through from Soul Transformation Early Stage to Void Refinement Realm?"

"Perfect spiritual power, comprehending the dao palace diagram, comprehending the meaning of Void Refinement, and forging the first layer of the dao palace—none of these can be missing, and each requires time!"

But as soon as her words fell, a strange glint flashed in her eyes.

"Eh..."

"This child has quite a good demeanor, his body encompasses the Great Dao... this... he's entered the Void Refinement Realm?"

Under the moonlight, a figure walked slowly, hands behind his back, his expression indifferent.

He sensed Xia Youyue's aura and decided to come see her. After all, she was his Junior Sister, and he couldn't neglect her too much, especially since Xia Youyue had been by his side for far less time than Qing'er.

Secondly, he wanted to arrange another task. He hadn't originally thought of it, but Xia Youyue had just broken through, hadn't she?

Seeing the person approaching, Xia Youyue immediately called out excitedly, "Senior Brother!"

"Senior Brother Shen!" Long Stick Li also immediately cupped his hands respectfully upon seeing the approaching figure.

Shen Nian arrived before them and nodded slightly, "Mm, get a good rest tonight. I'll give you a task tomorrow."

"Ah?" Xia Youyue was somewhat incredulous. She had just been about to report that she had completed the refinement of the first supreme bone, and before she could even share the good news, another task came?

Seeing her expression, Shen Nian raised an eyebrow and said, "What's wrong? Refined a small supreme bone and gotten carried away?"

"Senior Brother, you knew?" Xia Youyue looked at Shen Nian in shock. How did Senior Brother know?

Oh!

That's right, Senior Brother is someone who can produce a Heaven-Defying Cultivation Technique like the Supreme Regeneration Art. It's not strange for him to know.

But the willow tree in her mind scoffed.

"What is he saying?"

"A small supreme bone?"

"What arrogance!"

"Do you, young man, know what kind of divine object this is?"
