50: Breaking through the third tier, awakening heaven-defying divine power.

After the gathering, Ye Feiyan eagerly entered the exclusive Immortal Cave arranged for her by her Revered Master, which was filled with incredibly rich Spiritual Qi, and began a new round of secluded cultivation.

It could be said that she was a true cultivation fanatic.

She wouldn't miss a single moment that could be used for cultivation.

Meanwhile, Mysterious Ink wasn't idle either.

In his own equally spacious cultivation room, he finally immersed his mind into his attribute panel.

During the ten days of travel, he had been saving experience points!

"Current experience points: 1,854,320"

"One point eight million! That's enough!"

"System! Bloodline Evolution! Realm Breakthrough!"

Boom—!!!

Two completely different yet equally vast and powerful energies simultaneously exploded within his body!

One was a leap in life level, originating from the deepest part of his Bloodline!

The other was a Breakthrough in his cultivation Realm, advancing with irresistible force!

His body surged once again! His scales became even more profound and mysterious!

His aura, moreover, surged wildly in a geometric progression!

"Ding! Congratulations, host, on successful Bloodline Evolution! Current race: Primordial Black Dragon (Pseudo)!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, on successful Breakthrough! Current Realm: Third Stage Early Phase!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, on successfully Awakening the first innate Divine Ability—Absolute Defense (Passive)!"

When everything settled down, Mysterious Ink slowly opened his eyes, and a supreme divine light, capable of making heaven and earth lose their luster, flashed within his deep snake pupils!

Inside the cultivation room, Mysterious Ink slowly opened his eyes, carefully experiencing the new changes brought about by his Bloodline Evolution.

"Innate Divine Ability: Absolute Defense (Passive)"

"Effect: The host can passively exempt 90% of the damage from any form of attack. This Divine Ability cannot be upgraded, and the exemption effect will increase with the host's Realm and Bloodline progression."

"Note: Can only be used once a day, not stackable."

"Exempt 90% of damage?"

After understanding the terrifying and abnormal ability of this innate Divine Ability, Mysterious Ink felt much more at ease.

This was simply a life-saving divine skill for him.

Although it could only be used once a day, it was still incredibly terrifying, after all, it was 90% damage immunity.

Activating it at a critical moment would definitely achieve the effect of catching the enemy off guard.

Immediately, he once again immersed his mind into his attribute panel.

"host: Mysterious Ink"

"Race: Primordial Black Dragon (Pseudo)"

"Realm: Third Stage Early Phase"

"experience points required to Break through to Third Tier Mid Stage: 0 / 1,500,000"

"One point five million?!"

Seeing the experience points required to Break through to Third Tier Mid Stage, Mysterious Ink couldn't help but secretly click his tongue.

This number was five times more than the three hundred thousand required to Break through from Second Stage Late-Phase to Second Tier Peak!

He quietly calculated.

Currently, he could gain two experience points per second, which amounted to over one hundred seventy thousand a day.

One point five million experience points would take approximately nine to ten days.

"Still too slow..."

Mysterious Ink shook his head, a plan already forming in his mind.

It seemed he had to find a way to properly "stimulate" his reborn Empress wife, making her unleash her past life's drive and Cultivate diligently, striving to Break through to the Golden Core Realm as soon as possible!

...Time quietly flowed by in this monotonous cultivation.

In a flash, ten days passed.

During these ten days, the entire Beast Taming Sect was calm; Immortal Master Jinyun seemed to have forgotten about his new disciple, not even assigning a single task to Ye Feiyan.

And Ye Feiyan was happy with the peace, remaining in her Immortal Cave, cultivating diligently in seclusion.

On this day, when the number representing experience points in Mysterious Ink's mind was filled once again, he didn't hesitate.

"System, upgrade!"

Along with the consumption of one point five million experience points, an even more vast energy exploded within his body!

"Ding! Congratulations, host, on successful Breakthrough, current Realm: Third Tier Mid Stage!"

However, just as he had successfully broken through and before he could stabilize his aura.

Outside the Immortal Cave, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly came.

"Is Junior Sister Ye present? Senior Sister Liu Yun, by Revered Master's command, has come to deliver a task."

Ye Feiyan was still in deep seclusion, so Mysterious Ink naturally couldn't let her be disturbed. With a thought, the Immortal Cave's gate opened with a rumble, and then a magnetic young voice slowly emerged.

"Senior Sister, please come in. My Revered Master is in seclusion, I will receive you on her behalf."

Outside the Immortal Cave, Third Senior Sister Liu Yun, dressed in a light purple long dress, with a beautiful face and gentle demeanor, was first stunned when she heard this voice, then a look of surprise appeared on her face.

She walked into the Immortal Cave, and when she saw the black giant python coiled in the main hall, gazing at her with a pair of deep snake pupils, the astonishment in her beautiful eyes grew even stronger.

"You... are Junior Sister Ye's contracted Spirit Beast?" she asked, somewhat uncertainly.

She had thought that the "Second Tier Peak" mentioned by Revered Master would be some majestic and awe-inspiring exotic beast. She never expected it to be just an ordinary-looking black snake.

"Precisely," Mysterious Ink replied.

Liu Yun no longer pondered and directly stated her purpose.

"Junior Brother, I came this time at Revered Master's behest. The Sect has assigned a task."

"Within the territory governed by our Beast Taming Sect, there is a Foundation Establishment Family named 'Yang Family'. This Family has always been responsible for cultivating a third-grade Spirit Medicine called 'heavenly star grass' for our Sect."

"This heavenly star grass is the most important auxiliary medicine for refining the third-grade Medicinal Pill, 'true spirit pill'. And the true spirit pill is one of the key Medicinal Pills for us Golden Core Realm Cultivators to improve our cultivation."

"But some time ago, the Sect discovered that this Yang Family was secretly selling large quantities of heavenly star grass to the 'Blood Fiend Sect', which is hostile to our Sect! Such an act is no different from betrayal, and the Sect absolutely cannot tolerate it!"

"Therefore, Revered Master has entrusted this 'clearing the house' task to Junior Sister Ye."

Liu Yun looked at Mysterious Ink and said seriously, "Revered Master said that although Junior Sister Ye only has Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivation, you are already a powerful Second Tier Peak Yao Beast. With you two Revered Master and servant working together, it will be enough to handle this matter."

After sending Liu Yun away, Mysterious Ink immediately used the pseudo-contract to awaken Ye Feiyan, who was in deep cultivation.

A moment later, Ye Feiyan's door opened with a rumble.

"A task?"

After learning the full story, she nodded, and a hint of eager Battle Intent flashed in her cold phoenix eyes, "Perfect, I also want to test how much my strength has improved after Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment."

As she spoke, the aura of Foundation Establishment Early Stage on her suddenly surged!

Boom!

A smooth and flawless Foundation Establishment Mid Stage pressure, many times more powerful than ten days ago, swept through the entire Immortal Cave from her body!

"Mysterious Ink!"

She looked at Mysterious Ink, and that confident and proud smile once again appeared on her beautiful face!

"I am already Foundation Establishment Mid Stage! I told you, sooner or later, I will surpass you!"
