54: Having broken through to the late stage of the third tier, did you also secretly break through?

The moment her words fell, she no longer hesitated in the slightest, sat cross-legged, and the Myriad Dao Furnace Scripture roared into operation!

In an instant, the winds and clouds changed color!

The five Cultivators whose cultivation had been crippled could not even let out a scream. In endless fear and despair, they transformed into five streaks of the purest life Origin, which surged wildly into Ye Feiyan's body like a hundred rivers returning to the sea!

"It is not enough." Mysterious Ink's icy voice rang out again.

"Since we are doing this, we must do it thoroughly! When cutting weeds, one must remove the roots!"

Ye Feiyan did not speak; she only slowly cast her cold gaze toward the group of Yang Family members below, who were already scared out of their wits.

...

Three days later.

When Ye Feiyan opened her eyes again, the entire Yang Family had already turned into a dead zone.

The aura on her body was skyrocketing at a terrifying speed!

Boom!!! A terrifying aura belonging to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, countless times stronger than it was three days ago, erupted from her petite body and swept in all directions!

She was only one step away from the Foundation Establishment Peak Realm!

Mysterious Ink nodded with satisfaction.

After harvesting all the heavenly star grass in the herb field, the person and the snake sped off in the direction of the Beast Taming Sect.

"Remember to hide your cultivation after we return." On the way, Mysterious Ink reminded her, "Using people to Cultivate is shocking to the world, after all; it is best not to let the people of the Beast Taming Sect discover any clues."

Ye Feiyan naturally knew the stakes involved; she nodded her head slightly and disguised her cultivation back to the Foundation Establishment Mid Stage Realm.

...

Upon returning to the Sect, she went alone to report.

Inside Immortal Master Jinyun's Immortal Cave.

"Oh? The entire Yang Family was slaughtered by you alone?"

Upon learning this result, Immortal Master Jinyun did not blame her in the slightest; instead, a trace of satisfaction appeared in his calm, unruffled eyes.

"Not bad. Decisive and ruthless; you have the style of a Cultivator of our generation."

He waved his sleeve casually, and a Storage Pouch filled with a large amount of cultivation resources flew in front of Ye Feiyan.

"This is the reward for your mission."

Immediately after, as if remembering something, he brought up that cliché topic again.

"By the way, have you considered the matter I spoke to you about last time? That black snake is, after all..."

"Revered Master." Ye Feiyan interrupted him directly, her expression unprecedentedly firm. "This Disciple's mind is made up. There is no need to bring this matter up again."

After returning to the Immortal Cave, Ye Feiyan did not slack off in the slightest and entered the deepest state of seclusion once again.

She wanted to push her cultivation to the Foundation Establishment Peak Realm at the fastest speed possible!

The Small Courtyard returned to its usual tranquility.

Mysterious Ink, like the most loyal guardian, coiled outside the Immortal Cave every day, lazily basking in the sun. He appeared to be dozing, but in reality, his mind was already completely immersed in the rapidly jumping experience points.

Time passed quietly in this boring wait.

Seventeen days later.

【Ding! experience points have reached 3,000,000. The host can perform a Realm Breakthrough at any time!】

When that heavenly System notification sound rang in Mysterious Ink's mind, his snake eyes, which had been tightly shut, suddenly opened!

Without any hesitation, he once again traveled the familiar path to the hidden cave in the back mountain.

"System, Breakthrough!"

Boom!!! A torrent of energy, several times more vast than any previous time, erupted within his body!

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully breaking through. Current Realm: Third Order Late Stage!】

After the successful Breakthrough, he immediately checked his brand-new attribute panel.

【host: Mysterious Ink】

【Race: Primordial Black Dragon (Pseudo)】

【Realm: Third Order Late Stage】

【experience points required for Third Tier Peak Breakthrough: 0 / 6,000,000】

"Six million..." Seeing the terrifying number that had doubled again, Mysterious Ink couldn't help but click his tongue inwardly.

At the current acquisition speed of two points per second, which is over 170,000 per day, it would take about a month or more to accumulate these six million experience points.

"That's fine; it is still within an acceptable range." Mysterious Ink thought to himself, not feeling anxious.

...

Another half a month passed.

"Boom!" Inside Ye Feiyan's Immortal Cave, a terrifying, perfect, and flawless aura soared into the sky!

She had successfully emerged from seclusion!

At this moment, her cultivation had already reached the Foundation Establishment Peak Realm! She was only one step away from the legendary Golden Core Dao!

"Mysterious Ink," she found Mysterious Ink, her cold phoenix eyes filled with unparalleled confidence and heat, "I am preparing to start breaking through to the Golden Core Realm."

But immediately, her willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her expression became grave.

"However, Revered Master must never know about this matter."

She knew very well that if her Heaven-Defying cultivation speed were exposed, it would inevitably arouse Immortal Master Jinyun's suspicion!

At that time, the secret of her being the Reborn Empress, as well as the Myriad Dao Furnace Scripture, would be at risk of exposure, and might even bring about a fatal disaster!

"I suggest we temporarily leave the Sect under the pretext of going up the mountain for training." Mysterious Ink's "understanding" thought rang in her mind.

"Find a quiet place outside, and after you successfully break through to the Golden Core, return to the Sect. That way, everything will be foolproof."

"Okay." Ye Feiyan also agreed with this plan.

She suddenly remembered something, and her beautiful eyes, filled with scrutiny, fell upon Mysterious Ink once again.

"By the way, I have already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Peak, what about you? Did you... also secretly break through?"

"How is that possible?" Mysterious Ink chuckled and responded, "I am still at the Third Tier Mid Stage. This is the Third Tier, not the First or Second Tier from before; how could it be so easy to break through? My cultivation speed has naturally slowed down."

Thinking about it, Ye Feiyan felt it was reasonable.

After all, the cultivation of Yao Beasts was inherently much harder than that of the Human Race; the higher the Realm, the more the time and resources required for a Breakthrough increased geometrically.

She actually believed it just like that.

...

Very soon, Ye Feiyan asked Immortal Master Jinyun for leave to go out for training, using the excuse of "stabilizing her Realm and seeking an Opportunity for a Breakthrough."

"Hmm, that is good." Upon hearing this, Immortal Master Jinyun stroked his beard, a look of approval appearing on his face, "The way of the Cultivator should involve walking and seeing more; blindly cultivating in isolation is, after all, a lower path."

He pondered for a moment and suggested, "If you want to train, I do have a good place to recommend. You can go to 'Three Seas City'."

"That Three Seas City borders the Endless Sea to the east and the Tianyun Mountain Range to the west. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is abundant, and there are countless Opportunities and treasures. It is the most famous gathering place for Loose Cultivators within a radius of one hundred thousand li."

"Your Second Senior Brother, Lin Yao, is currently in Three Seas City, running a Yao Beast cub shop. Many of the Yao Beast cubs with excellent Bloodlines on our Peak come from him. If you go, it will be good to have someone to look after you."

"Thank you for your guidance, Revered Master." Ye Feiyan agreed.

After bidding farewell to Immortal Master Jinyun, she took Mysterious Ink and sped off toward Three Seas City, which was ten thousand li away.
