149: Breakthrough to the late stage of the fourth tier

The journey home was silent all the way.

Perhaps it was because the Spirit Transformation Realm Old Ancestor of the Yin Spirit Clan had already been jointly severely wounded by Ancestor Jin and others, forcing him to flee for his life!

Or perhaps it was because the backbone of Three Seas City (True Lord Sanhai) had already become Ye Feiyan's... prisoner!

This journey home, spanning ten thousand miles, should have been fraught with danger!

Yet, it appeared so... calm and peaceful!

They didn't even encounter a single blind Yin Spirit!

Soon!

The Beast Taming Sect's mountain gate, filled with endless Immortal Qi and majesty, was faintly visible in the distance!

And the funeral of Ancestor Jin, this Nascent Soul Peak magnate who had protected the Sect for thousands of years, was grand beyond everyone's... imagination!

The long, sorrowful Mourning Bell rang for a full seven days and seven nights!

The Pale Long Banners, symbolizing mourning, hung across the entire ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers belonging to the Beast Taming Sect!

Ancestor Sword Dust of Myriad Spirits Manor, who had already taken over True Lord Jianxin's position and become the new Dao Protector, personally attended to offer condolences!

Even the Hundred Poisons Palace, which had always maintained an uneasy peace with the Beast Taming Sect, uncharacteristically sent their most mysterious Saintess to... pay respects!

Only Three Seas City, which should have shared life and death and forged a "revolutionary friendship," failed to send a single person from beginning to end!

It was as if they had completely... vanished from the East Sea Region!

Although Shangguan Jing's heart was filled with confusion and bewilderment regarding this.

His mind, already completely overwhelmed by grief, couldn't be bothered to investigate further!

Not until the grand funeral, filled with endless mourning and sorrow, was completely over!

Not until the Golden Body, symbolizing Ancestor Jin's life of glory, was slowly escorted into the Ancestral Mausoleum, where only successive Nascent Soul Old Ancestors were qualified to reside!

Did this grand funeral, worthy of being recorded in the annals of the East Sea, slowly draw its... curtain!

Sword Dust and the Saintess of the Hundred Poisons Palace also bid farewell and departed one after another.

The entire Beast Taming Sect once again returned to its former... tranquility!

As for Mysterious Ink and Ye Feiyan, they finally returned to their private... Tranquil Courtyard.

"Buzz—!"

The stone door of the Cultivation Chamber, originally filled with endless impatience and coldness, slammed shut once more!

Ye Feiyan's Chaos Law, already "famished and impatient," once again began its crazy... "devouring" enterprise!

"Alas..."

"These days without 'delicacies' to feed on..."

"Are truly tedious... and dull!"

Mysterious Ink's Dragon sigh, full of endless laziness and Versailles-style bragging, slowly sounded.

His massive Dragon body once again sought out the corner with the "brightest" sunlight!

He closed his eyes! Went AFK!

...Time rapidly flowed away in this tedious and dull "AFK" mode!

Five days!

Passed in the blink of an eye!

Finally!

Just at the twilight of this fifth day!

Mysterious Ink, who had been lazily coiled on the eaves, appreciating the sunset glow, suddenly had his majestic dragon pupils, originally filled with endless laziness, light up!

Because!

The sound of nature, which he had been anticipating for countless "days and nights"...

Finally arrived as scheduled, exploding... in his mind!

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, host, you have gained twenty-five million experience points while AFK!]

[experience points are full!]

[Do you wish to upgrade immediately?!]

Boom—!!!!!!

At this moment!

Mysterious Ink's ferocious Dragon face, which had been full of endless laziness and contentment, was instantly replaced by a wave of deep... ecstasy!

"Hahahaha!"

"It's... here!"

"It's finally, damn it, here!"

"Fourth Tier... Late Stage!"

"This Venerable One... is coming!"

His thought, filled with endless ecstasy and anticipation, erupted!

"Upgrade!"

[Ding!]

[Upgrade initiated!]

Boom—!!!!!!

In an instant!

A "promotion warm current," ten times more terrifying than before, suddenly swept out from Mysterious Ink's massive Dragon body!

"This is bad!"

Mysterious Ink's majestic dragon pupils, which had been filled with endless ecstasy, suddenly contracted!

He never dreamed!

That the "energy fluctuation" caused by this Breakthrough from Mid Fourth Tier Stage to Fourth Tier Late Stage would be terrifying... to this extent!

The vast and majestic terrifying pressure was so great that even his Primordial Black Dragon Bloodline could barely suppress it!

"Damn it!"

"If I Breakthrough inside the Beast Taming Sect!"

"Wouldn't that instantly shatter the Beast Taming Sect's entire Mountain Protecting Grand Array?!"

He dared not hesitate in the slightest!

His massive Dragon body suddenly shook, silently merging into the Void Realm, and shot directly toward the Fallen Immortal Mountain Range, ten thousand miles away!

...Half a day later.

After Mysterious Ink found the most secretive and Spiritual Qi-sparse barren valley in the Fallen Immortal Mountain Range and laid down dozens of terrifying Restrictions capable of isolating all "prying eyes"!

Only then did he slowly let out a breath of relief.

"System!"

"Continue the upgrade!"

Boom—!!!!!!

This time!

Mysterious Ink had no more reservations!

The terrifying "promotion warm current," which he had suppressed to the "critical point," erupted violently!

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

At this instant, his massive Dragon body actually began its "terrifying"... secondary development!

His already indestructible Primordial Dragon Scales became even more... dark! Even more... profound!

As if even the "sunlight" in the sky was about to be completely devoured by them!

His Dragon muscles and bones, which were already comparable to a Magic Treasure, also emitted terrifying cracking sounds at this moment!

Their toughness soared once again!

And his terrifying Divine Sense, already comparable to the Mid Nascent Soul Stage, spread wildly in all directions like a burst dam!

Ten thousand miles!

Thirty thousand miles!

Fifty thousand miles!

...Until the mountains, rivers, and great rivers spanning nearly a hundred thousand miles were completely enveloped by his Divine Sense!

Only then did it slowly stop!
