260: Chapter 260 Yu Xi and Yu Nong!

The palace at the very center stood amidst a solemn and dignified atmosphere, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura. Without a doubt, this was the place where Bai Cangye once went into seclusion to Cultivate.

Cao Yang stepped inside cautiously, his heart full of anticipation, longing to find some precious treasures or powerful Magic Treasures here. However, after carefully looking around, he couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

Although the interior of this palace was magnificently decorated, there was nothing else besides a High Grade Sacred Artifact-level prayer mat.

Cao Yang thought to himself, "It seems this Bai Cangye was just an old man obsessed with Cultivation during his lifetime. What a pity; despite being so dedicated to his practice, he still couldn't escape the tricks of fate."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh softly. Life is truly unpredictable; in a world where the strong prey on the weak, even an Extreme Dao Saint could fall if they aren't careful.

Then, Cao Yang casually waved his arm, and a complex of buildings identical to the Heavenly Court instantly appeared in the previously empty space of the palace. However, upon closer inspection, one could see that these buildings only shared a similar appearance, lacking the grand atmosphere and soul-stirring charm of the real Heavenly Court.

Cao Yang shook his head helplessly and walked toward the pavilion.

After entering the pavilion, Cao Yang took out the Saint Tea bestowed by the First Ancestor from his robes and then began to brew the tea unhurriedly.

A moment later, a cup of fragrant Saint Tea was ready. He leisurely picked up the teacup and took small sips, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.

"System, do you have any good ideas on how to win over Tian Qing?" Cao Yang asked the System in his mind while sipping tea.

Recalling Tian Qing's appearance when he saw her just now, Cao Yang knew that if his own strength didn't improve significantly, winning her over would likely be no easy task.

At this moment, the System's voice rang in his mind: "Ding! Master, Xiao Tong thinks you can first try to win over other women in the Small Universe, improving your state of mind and cultivation base through interaction with them. Once the time is right, you can come back to win over Tian Qing. Of course, if it's truly difficult, you might consider starting with women outside the Small Universe—that is, in the Great Universe—to gain experience before tackling the challenge of Tian Qing."

After hearing the System's suggestion, Cao Yang fell into deep thought...

Cao Yang pondered to himself; currently, it seemed there really was no better way.

Relying on Hong Sipan to force the other party to submit was clearly no longer feasible. After all, everyone had already stepped into the Chaos Realm level. Without a strength gap of several major Realms between them, trying to easily kill an opponent was almost a pipe dream.

Just then, a crisp and sweet voice drifted in from outside the pavilion: "Brother Cao, my sister and I have come to keep you company!" This voice was as beautiful as heavenly music, instantly dispelling the gloom in Cao Yang's heart.

He looked toward the sound and saw Yu Nong's petite and exquisite figure walking quickly toward him.

Hearing such a pleasant voice, Cao Yang's originally heavy mood immediately became light and joyful. He said with a smile, "Why didn't you take this opportunity to look for some Saint materials and Saint herbs? You know, Bai Cangye was the Holy Lord of the Saint Realm; his collection must be extremely bountiful!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Nong lowered her head bashfully and replied softly, "Brother Cao, actually, the older sisters specifically arranged for my sister and me to come and accompany you..." Before she could finish, her fair and tender little face quickly flushed like a ripe apple.

Seeing this, Cao Yang couldn't help but laugh heartily, his heart full of joy.

Then, he opened his arms, gently pulling the two beauties, as lovely as flowers and jade, into his embrace, and said tenderly, "In that case, I will first help you raise your Realm to the Nine-Tribulation Saint level. Once that's done, we can delve into that profound and extensive knowledge together." After saying that, Cao Yang took out two tribulation avoidance rings and carefully placed them on their slender fingers.

"Thank you, Brother Cao!" Yu Nong uttered a soft word of thanks, her voice as melodious as a warbler emerging from a valley.

Beside her, Yu Xi was also full of shyness, timidly following with, "Th-thank you, Brother Cao." Her small, cute face was also stained with a charming pink hue, making one feel pity and love for her.

"System, quickly raise Yu Xi and Yu Nong's Realm to the Early Stage of the Nine-Tribulation Saint level!" Cao Yang issued the command with great anticipation.

"Ding—Understood, Master. This operation will cost 100,000 years of sign-in counts, or 12 million points of Heaven-Defying Genius Cultivation. Please confirm whether to execute." The System's pleasant voice slowly drifted over.

"Confirmed! Execute immediately!" Cao Yang gave the order without hesitation.

Along with the sound of the System, an incredibly powerful energy instantly surged into the bodies of Yu Xi and Yu Nong. Light blazed from the two women, and their aura climbed steadily at an astonishing speed.

Before long, the two women's cultivation base shot up like a rocket, breaking through Bottleneck after Bottleneck and successfully stepping into the Early Stage of the Nine-Tribulation Saint Realm.

At this moment, the joy in their hearts was simply beyond words; their previous shyness had long been washed away by this sudden and immense joy.

"Brother Cao, this... this is simply incredible! You actually did it! You are so amazing!" Yu Nong was so excited she danced with joy, even jumping up happily.

Her beautiful large eyes sparkled with light of surprise and admiration, as if she were seeing the greatest miracle in the world.

Although they had already heard many miraculous stories about Cao Yang from their older sisters, experiencing such an inconceivable power firsthand still left them feeling astounded.

Looking at the two charming darlings cheering before him, the corners of Cao Yang's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a wicked smile. "Hehe, you two, since I've helped you achieve such a massive Breakthrough, isn't it your turn to help me now?"

Hearing this, Yu Xi and Yu Nong's pretty faces immediately flushed with a hint of red, and they lowered their heads bashfully.
