"Luck increased by 20 points. The Cultivation speed truly reached ten thousand times."

Ning Yuan glanced at Wang Yuyan, who was still asleep, put on his clothes, and went to the mountaintop to Cultivate cross-legged.

A ten-thousand-fold increase was a rare Opportunity. So far, only A Zhu and Wang Yuyan had brought him such a powerful boost.

Perhaps in the entire demi-gods and semi-devils world, only A Zhu and Wang Yuyan possessed this ability.

Therefore, Ning Yuan naturally wouldn't waste even a tiny bit of time, neglecting even meals.

Ning Yuan began to Cultivate the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms.

He had previously obtained the Secret Manual for the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms, but had only mastered the first few stances. Now was the perfect time.

Under the ten-thousand-fold amplification, Ning Yuan instantly completely grasped the first few palm techniques he had previously mastered.

As time passed.

Roars of the Dragon continuously emanated from around Ning Yuan's body.

Bright golden Dragon-shaped Qi energy circulated around his body.

The aura surrounding Ning Yuan became increasingly terrifying.

The entire Piao Miao Peak shook because of this.

When the Four Sword Attendants saw this, they immediately ordered the Disciples to guard the surrounding area to prevent disturbance.

"The Sect Head's Cultivation is truly world-shaking!"

Plum Sword muttered to herself, her face full of shock.

Such a terrifying aura, even Tóng Lǎo might be far inferior.

"I wonder what Realm the Sect Head has reached?"

Plum Sword thought silently in her heart.

But at this moment, Ning Yuan was no longer simply Cultivating the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms.

Ning Yuan re-Cultivated the deficiencies in his many ultimate skills.

His mastery of the Six Meridian Divine Sword reached a new height, achieving the highest Realm.

The Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms was also completely brought to Major Achievement.

The Tianshan Six Yang Palm was naturally also completely mastered.

Tianshan Child Granny, who was Cultivating in seclusion in the secret chamber, was also alarmed.

Feeling Ning Yuan's terrifying, abyssal, and unfathomable aura from the mountaintop, her small face was filled with shock.

"Is this his true Cultivation?"

"What kind of monster did Junior Brother find to be his successor?"

"Such terrifying skill, even Cultivating from the womb, shouldn't be possible, right? Even with Junior Brother's skill, it would be hard to reach this Realm, unless he absorbed the Internal Energy of many people."

Tianshan Child Granny muttered softly to herself.

If it were anyone else possessing such skill, she would absolutely not believe it, but if he Cultivated her Xiaoyao Sect's Bei Ming Divine Skill, it wasn't impossible.

However, to possess such skill, the experts whose energy was absorbed would certainly not be just one or two, and doing such a thing frequently would inevitably shake the Jianghu.

But she hadn't heard of such a major event happening in the Central Plains.

Although she was suspicious, Tianshan Child Granny could only suppress it and continue watching, becoming increasingly shocked.

"He mastered my Tianshan Six Yang Palm so quickly? Did he truly never Cultivate it before?"

Although she said this, Tianshan Child Granny knew it was true.

Because she personally watched him start Cultivating the Tianshan Six Yang Palm from scratch, progressing from nothing to rapidly achieving Major Achievement in an extremely short time.

It wasn't until night fell and the Cultivation speed amplification ended that Ning Yuan woke up from his Cultivation.

One day of Cultivation, under the ten-thousand-fold speed amplification, was equivalent to nearly thirty years of Cultivation.

The improvements brought to Ning Yuan by several ultimate skills were obvious.

His skill had also reached a critical point.

He had almost reached the limit of the Peak-Tier.

"I feel like I have touched that barrier!"

Ning Yuan slowly opened his eyes, stood up, circulated his skill, and then struck out with a palm.

Roar!

As the loud Dragon roar echoed, a bright golden Dragon shadow several Zhang long shot up into the sky.

After circling once in mid-air, it suddenly swooped down.

Boom!

With a massive roar, a distant mountaintop suddenly shattered, like an avalanche, stirring up dust and mist that covered the sky.

The terrifying shockwave even spread to the ground beneath their feet.

Piao Miao Peak itself trembled.

All the Disciples of Lingjiu Palace on Piao Miao Peak looked horrified, gazing at the figure on the mountaintop.

"This, this..."

At this moment, even Tianshan Child Granny was speechless.

Her youthful face was filled with horror, and her eyes were wide open.

"Such Cultivation is unheard of and unseen. I just wonder how it compares to Master..."

Tianshan Child Granny swallowed a mouthful of saliva. After so many years, this was the first time she had seen someone comparable to her Master, Xiaoyao Zi.

She had never entertained such thoughts about any expert she had met before.

Because her Master, Xiaoyao Zi, was truly unfathomable in her memory, like an abyss or the sea, boundless.

But now, she couldn't help but make a comparison.

This was enough to show how powerful the shock Ning Yuan brought her was at this moment.

Ning Yuan, however, was not paying attention to the people below the mountaintop.

He slowly calmed his restless Internal Energy, feeling the might of his single palm strike.

A moment later, Ning Yuan couldn't help but laugh maniacally.

"Hahahaha!"

"Hahahahaha..."

Ning Yuan laughed uproariously toward the sky.

Having reached this level of Cultivation, he finally had nothing to fear.

He could truly look down upon the world and stand proudly above all heroes.

Nearly two centuries of skill, although not yet reaching a qualitative change, the result of the quantitative change was equally extraordinary.

If he met Li Qiushui now, even if Li Qiushui understood the Bei Ming Divine Skill perfectly and her Xiao Wu Xiang Skill was superb, as long as he latched onto her, she wouldn't be able to escape.

Under the ten-thousand-fold Cultivation speed amplification, Ning Yuan's mastery of all his martial arts reached an extremely high level, becoming superb.

In terms of the Xiao Wu Xiang Skill, he had surpassed Jiumozhi's decades of hard Cultivation, and was in no way inferior compared to Li Qiushui's sixty years of hard Cultivation.

Tianshan Child Granny ascended the mountain alone.

After these few days, her skill had recovered to roughly the level of when she was ten years old.

She began Cultivating the Eight Desolations Six Harmonies Only I Am Supreme Skill at the age of six, progressing rapidly. Even her skill level at ten years old far surpassed ordinary second or third-rate Jianghu figures.

Therefore, climbing the mountain was effortless for her.

"The student surpasses the Master indeed. Tóng Lǎo didn't expect to witness such a Prodigy. No wonder Junior Brother passed his lifelong skill onto you."

Tianshan Child Granny appeared at the summit of Piao Miao Peak, her expression somewhat complicated.

This was her true recognition of Ning Yuan.

Before, she had only regarded Ning Yuan as a Junior. Even though Ning Yuan had shown great strength then, it wasn't as shocking as this moment.

"Tóng Lǎo, you overpraise me. It was merely due to a lucky Opportunity, coupled with Junior's doubled efforts on the Dao of Cultivation."

Ning Yuan said, sounding modest.

"I have now passed on all my other ultimate skills to you, except for the Eight Desolations Six Harmonies Only I Am Supreme Skill. However, since you Cultivated the supreme ultimate skill, Bei Ming Divine Skill, the Eight Desolations Six Harmonies Only I Am Supreme Skill is meaningless to you."

"I see you have many beauties around you, so you must be a lustful person. I have an absolutely stunning beauty here, no less beautiful than the women by your side. If you agree, I will bring her to you tonight."

Tianshan Child Granny's eyes flashed, and she suddenly showed a meaningful expression and spoke.

She wasn't an idiot. Seeing so many beauties gathered around Ning Yuan, each looking at him with unusual eyes, she naturally understood their relationship.

Although Tianshan Child Granny never found love in her life, she had no particular feelings toward a passionate person like Ning Yuan.

On the contrary, if she could take revenge on Li Qiushui, she would spare no effort.

Ning Yuan glanced at Tianshan Child Granny and suddenly laughed, "Tóng Lǎo, are you perhaps planning to give me Li Qiushui's granddaughter, Princess Yinchuan?"

"You are truly clever, investigating the affairs of Western Xia so thoroughly. It seems even if I didn't mention it, you would still do it."

Tianshan Child Granny snorted, then continued, "Follow me. I have a secret passage here that leads directly to the Western Xia Harem. Perhaps it will be useful to you."

"Coincidentally, I also have something I need to discuss with you, Tóng Lǎo."

Ning Yuan smiled slightly and followed Tianshan Child Granny inside... into the Western Xia Harem.

Li Qiushui was leaning diagonally on a soft couch, resting.

Outside the sheer curtain, palace maids knelt on one side, ready to take orders at any time.

Just then, the door to the sleeping quarters opened, and Ning Yuan walked straight in.

"This Dowager said that without my permission, no one is allowed to disturb my rest. Are there no rules in this palace?"

"Who is on duty today?"

Li Qiushui scolded disapprovingly.

At this moment, the palace maid kneeling outside the sheer curtain raised her head. Seeing a strange man trespass, a maid immediately stood up and shouted vigilantly, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Empress Dowager's sleeping quarters?"

Hearing the commotion outside the screen, Li Qiushui immediately narrowed her eyes.

However, she was highly skilled and bold, so she naturally didn't need to panic and call for guards like ordinary harem concubines.

In this world, there were probably very few people capable of assassinating her.

Ning Yuan clasped his hands in greeting toward the screen ahead and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Martial Aunt, this Disciple has come to keep the appointment."

Hearing Ning Yuan's voice, Li Qiushui's eyes immediately lit up. She raised her hand and said, "It seems you have made your decision."

"You may all leave."

Li Qiushui said to the palace maids on the side.

"Yes!"

The palace maids were stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered their heads and retreated.

Although a man entering the Empress Dowager's sleeping quarters late at night could easily cause misunderstandings and be detrimental if word spread, no one dared to say anything more.

Only two people remained in the large sleeping quarters.

Ning Yuan walked around the screen and saw the figure vaguely visible behind the sheer curtain.

"Well, have you thought it over? As long as you kill that Bitch, I will use the entire power of Western Xia to help you."

"I heard you are a descendant of the Northern Yan royal family. Perhaps I can even help you restore your nation and regain the throne."

Li Qiushui slowly sat up on the soft couch and asked with a smile.

"How can I trust you?"

Ning Yuan countered.

"My daughter is your Aunt. Our relationship should naturally be closer. As long as you kill her for me, I will fulfill all your demands."

Li Qiushui sat up, holding her head high.

"I'm just afraid there are some demands, Martial Aunt, that you cannot satisfy."

Ning Yuan lifted the sheer curtain and walked directly into the inner chamber.

Li Qiushui glanced at Ning Yuan, chuckled softly, and said dismissively, "I am the esteemed Empress Dowager of Western Xia, in charge of a nation's great affairs. I refuse to believe I cannot satisfy your appetite."

"If you are interested, I can arrange to marry my granddaughter, Princess Yinchuan, to you, making you the Western Xia Prince Consort, thus strengthening our ties."

"I'm afraid I cannot agree to that."

Ning Yuan shook his head directly.

Li Qiushui's expression changed, and she scoffed, "What? Is my Western Xia's Princess Yinchuan unworthy of a descendant of a ruined royal family like you?"

"Princess Yinchuan is excellent, but marrying Princess Yinchuan would only make me the Western Xia Prince Consort."

"What? Prince Consort, you're still not satisfied? What else do you want?"

Li Qiushui raised an eyebrow.

Ning Yuan smiled slightly, said nothing more, and simply stated, "I cannot kill Tóng Lǎo, but I can tell you where she is."

Hearing this, Li Qiushui's eyes lit up. She immediately stood up and asked impatiently, "Where is she?"
