261: Chapter 261 Heading to the Holy Origin Realm

By this time, Revered Master Ouyang Liuli had finished leading the group of women through a careful tour of the other two palaces.

The layouts of these two side palaces were quite similar. One was filled with a dazzling array of various rare treasures and precious Spirit Medicine, while the other housed detailed records of major events in the Saint Realm and other equivalent worlds, as well as many crucial Cultivation Techniques and mysterious Legacies.

Faced with these detailed records concerning the various Saint Realms within the Huangqing Small Universe, the women all showed great interest and began flipping through them impatiently.

After all, they had all reached the Nine-Tribulation Saint Realm by now. With their profound cultivation bases and exceptional Comprehension Ability, it didn't take them much time to gain a general understanding and awareness of the entire Huangqing Small Universe.

Just as everyone was still wanting more, Revered Master Ouyang Liuli led them toward the palace located in the center. However, the moment they stepped into this palace, everyone couldn't help but be slightly stunned, their eyes drawn to the familiar scenery before them.

After a brief moment of shock, they quickly realized—this place must have been specially arranged by Cao Yang to look like the Heavenly Emperor Hall.

The women walked with light steps, entering the mysterious and towering nine-story pavilion one after another.

However, without exception, none of them chose to ascend to the top floor, because they all knew in their hearts that at this moment, Cao Yang must be carefully looking after the sisters, Yu Nong and Yu Xi.

Time flew by, and two days passed in the blink of an eye. Just as everyone was waiting expectantly, the tightly closed doors on the top floor finally opened slowly.

The women couldn't wait to climb the stairs, and when they reached the terrace, they immediately saw Cao Yang sitting there leisurely, quietly savoring fragrant tea.

Seeing this, the women understood and secretly surmised that the two sisters, Yu Nong and Yu Xi, must still be fast asleep and had not yet woken up.

Ouyang Liuli's lips curled up slightly, revealing a world-shaking smile as she said softly, "Cao Lang, my sisters and I have carefully explored the two side palaces. The Major Thousand Worlds within them are truly astonishing. The things stored there are either rare treasures of the world or exquisite Cultivation Techniques and Secret Manuals, along with many detailed records of the various worlds in the Small Universe."

Cao Yang nodded slightly in acknowledgement and responded in a peaceful tone, "Mhm. Since that's the case, Revered Master and my dear concubines, if you take a fancy to anything in there, just take it for yourselves; there's no need to report to me." Having said that, he waved to the women again and continued, "Everyone, don't just stand there, please take a seat. There is tea prepared on the table, feel free to pour yourselves some. You must take the time to taste this rare top-grade holy tea; the quantity is quite limited!"

Hearing Cao Yang's words, the women looked at each other and smiled, taking their seats as told. While sipping the fragrant tea and feeling the mellow aroma spread between their lips and teeth, they enthusiastically told Cao Yang about various anecdotes regarding the major Saint Realms they had learned from the ancient records. For a time, the terrace was filled with constant laughter and conversation, the atmosphere harmoniously pleasant.

Cao Yang sat there quietly, fully focused on listening to the movements around him, but in his heart, he had already begun planning his next move.

His deep and sharp eyes narrowed slightly, as if he were examining the situation of the entire Universe.

Currently, for someone in the Saint Realm like him, the rewards brought by ordinary sign-ins could no longer satisfy his growing needs.

Even incredibly precious top-grade holy artifacts and rare top-grade holy medicines had a negligible effect on him, who had already become an Extreme Dao Saint.

To break through to that desirable Source Realm, there were only two paths before Cao Yang: first, leave this Small Universe and rely on the mysterious System to continue signing in to seek an opportunity for Breakthrough; second, delve into various Saint Realms, deal with numerous Daughters of Destiny, and kill those men who bore the Mandate of Heaven, accumulating sign-in counts to exchange for an increase in cultivation base and achieve a Breakthrough.

In fact, if he had Sipan's help, choosing the first path wouldn't be impossible.

However, after careful consideration, Cao Yang found that deep down, he still leaned toward the second method.

Because doing so would not only give him an extra measure of safety and stability on his path forward, but it also perfectly suited his competitive and challenge-loving personality—conquering beauties and slaying powerful enemies were the kinds of things full of excitement and achievement that he was truly obsessed with.

In the following days, Cao Yang and the women spent a period of heart-pounding and unspeakable time together on the mysterious and magnificent Buzhou Mountain.

For an entire year, they seemed isolated from the world, immersed in each other's company and love.

During these beautiful years, Cao Yang raised the strength of all the women to the Peak of the Nine-Tribulation Saint Realm! Such an achievement was enough to shock the world.

Cao Yang decided to leave Buzhou Mountain alone and head toward the legendary Saint Source Realm.

This decision was not a reckless move but stemmed from an important piece of information—according to Sipan, the Realm Lord of the Saint Source Realm was heavily injured and had not yet recovered.

Cao Yang keenly perceived that this might be an excellent opportunity. If he could take down the Saint Source Realm in one fell swoop by seizing this chance, it would be a good start for his next step.

However, before departing, Cao Yang still made careful arrangements. Considering that Tian Qing's existence always made him feel a trace of unease, worrying that the women might encounter an accident, he resolutely left the heavenly emperor sword (Hong Sipan) at Buzhou Mountain.

After all, Hong Sipan, who possessed Chaos Realm cultivation, could provide powerful support anytime and anywhere even from thousands of miles away, as long as Cao Yang had not left the Small Universe.

Moreover, Cao Yang was full of confidence in his own strength. He knew that as long as the enemy he faced was not a high-and-mighty Source Realm powerhouse, he was absolutely an invincible existence relying on his own abilities.

Of course, Cao Yang knew very well in his heart that besides his own hard strength, there was also that mysterious System that had been silently supporting him.

With the help of the System, he was able to repeatedly turn danger into safety, constantly break through himself, and move toward a higher path of cultivation.

Cao Yang possessed an amazing Divine Ability—Gods Descent! This Divine Ability gave him the miraculous ability to descend to any location within the range covered by his Divine Sense at any time.

Its speed was simply beyond imagination; compared to conventional means like crossing the Void Realm, it was countless times faster.

However, even with such a staggering speed advantage, it still took Cao Yang a full three days of long time to reach that mysterious and distant Saint Source Realm.

From this, it could be seen that even for those powerful existences who had stepped into the Saint Realm, the vastness of the entire Small Universe was boundless.
