Chapter 102 is terrifying.

"Until you appeared."

He looked at Su Ye, a glimmer of expectation flashing in his eyes.

"You were able to make Peak Master Liu Changqing swallow a bitter pill, able to make Hall Master Luo Xinghe come personally to apologize, and able to make the Holy Lord look at you with new eyes. You must have a way, right?"

Su Ye was silent for a moment, then asked a question.

"Peak Master Meng Shanhe, are you certain that spirit egg was left behind by your wife?"

"Certain."

Peak Master Meng Shanhe nodded. "The golden runes on that spirit egg were carved by my wife herself. It carries her aura; I could never mistake it."

Su Ye was thoughtful. After a moment, he nodded.

"Very well. Peak Master Meng Shanhe, I promise you. At the Grand Competition three months from now, if I encounter Supreme Elder Yun Zhonghe, I will help you seek justice."

Peak Master Meng Shanhe's eyes brightened.

"Many thanks!"

"Don't thank me just yet."

Su Ye waved his hand. "I only promised to help you; whether it can be done depends on the specific circumstances. Supreme Elder Yun Zhonghe is at the Void Tempering Great Perfection, a full major Realm higher than me. Even with my Supreme Bone, it is very difficult to kill him while crossing Realms."

"I know."

Peak Master Meng Shanhe nodded. "I do not ask you to kill him, I only ask that you—"

He paused, a trace of sorrow flashing in his eyes.

"I only ask that you make him personally admit that what happened back then was his doing."

"As long as he admits it, I will have a way to ruin his reputation."

Su Ye looked at him and nodded.

"Very well. I will do my best."

Returning to Purple Bamboo Peak, it was already evening.

Su Ye walked into Cold Jade Palace and found Yun Yuzhen meditating on the couch; Lin Waner and Lin Qianxue were nowhere to be seen.

"Revered Master, I have returned."

Yun Yuzhen opened her eyes and looked at him. "What did the Holy Lord want with you?"

Su Ye recounted the changes to the Grand Competition rules.

After listening, Yun Yuzhen's expression became solemn.

"Soul Transformation Stage opponents? Can you handle it?"

"Is Revered Master concerned about me?"

Su Ye smiled and leaned in closer.

"Who is concerned about you!"

Yun Yuzhen rolled her eyes at him. "I am afraid you will lose face for Purple Bamboo Peak!"

"Rest assured, that won't happen."

Su Ye sat down beside her and wrapped his arm around her waist. "Revered Master, I want to ask you something."

"What is it?"

"Do you know Supreme Elder Yun Zhonghe?"

Yun Yuzhen's body stiffened. "Why do you ask about him?"

"Nothing, I just heard someone mention him today and was a bit curious."

Yun Yuzhen was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"Supreme Elder Yun Zhonghe is a Grand Elder of the Taichu Holy Land, at the Void Tempering Great Perfection. Three hundred years ago, he was one of my suitors."

Su Ye raised an eyebrow. "A suitor?"

"Yes." Yun Yuzhen nodded. "At that time, I had just achieved a Breakthrough in Undergoing Tribulation and became the Peak Master of Purple Bamboo Peak. Supreme Elder Yun Zhonghe was still at the Soul Transformation Stage and often came to see me, bringing various gifts. But I had no feelings for him, so I refused."

"And then?"

"Later, he married someone else and stopped pestering me. However..."

Yun Yuzhen hesitated for a moment. "There are rumors that the person he married was snatched by him. It is also said that the woman's husband was killed by him."

Su Ye's heart stirred. "Who was that woman who was snatched?"

"I don't know." Yun Yuzhen shook her head. "That was three hundred years ago; I only heard rumors."

Su Ye was thoughtful. It seems what Peak Master Meng Shanhe said is true.

"Why did you suddenly ask about him?" Yun Yuzhen looked at him suspiciously.

"Nothing." Su Ye smiled and hugged her tighter. "Just asking casually."

Yun Yuzhen stared at him for a long time, then finally snorted. "Acting all mysterious, it must be nothing good."

"How could it be?" Su Ye leaned in with a mischievous smile. "Revered Master, you've been meditating for so long, are you tired? Shall your Disciple massage your shoulders?"

"No need!"

"Then massage your legs?"

"No need!"

"Then..." Su Ye whispered a few words into her ear.

Yun Yuzhen's pretty face instantly flushed red. "Get lost!"

Night fell. Su Ye lay on the Cold Jade Palace couch, holding the sleeping Yun Yuzhen in his arms, but he was not asleep.

He kept his eyes open, gazing at the ceiling, his mind constantly replaying Peak Master Meng Shanhe's words.

Supreme Elder Yun Zhonghe, Void Tempering Great Perfection, killed Peak Master Meng Shanhe's wife three hundred years ago and snatched the spirit egg. Later, he also married a woman he had snatched...

This person is not simple.

If he really participates in the Grand Competition three months from now, how should I deal with it?

Nascent Soul Seventh Heaven against Void Tempering Great Perfection, it is a difference of a full major Realm plus two minor Realms. Even with the Supreme Bone, it is difficult to contend head-on.

Unless... A glint of light flashed in Su Ye's eyes.

Unless, within these three months, he can Breakthrough to the Soul Transformation Stage.

But from Nascent Soul to Soul Transformation, it is a major hurdle on the path of Cultivation. Countless people get stuck here for decades or even centuries, unable to Breakthrough.

Three months, is it enough?

Su Ye calculated silently in his heart.

He has the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art, which can devour all things and convert them into spiritual power. He has the Supreme Bone, which can temper his Physical Body and strengthen his Foundation. He also has the System, which can exchange for various Cultivation resources.

If he Cultivates with all his might, breaking through to Soul Transformation within three months is not impossible.

It's just... He looked down at Yun Yuzhen in his arms.

If he goes into seclusion to Cultivate, he won't be able to look after Revered Master.

This girl has become more and more clingy lately. If she doesn't see him for three months, she will definitely throw a tantrum.

Su Ye sighed softly. It seems he needs to find a way that satisfies both sides.

Early the next morning. Su Ye called Lin Waner and Lin Qianxue to the Cold Jade Palace.

"For the next three months, I will go into seclusion to Cultivate."

The two young girls were stunned.

"Senior Brother, you are going into seclusion?" Lin Waner looked reluctant. "Then... what about us?"

"You must also Cultivate." Su Ye said seriously. "The rules for the Grand Competition three months from now have changed. Disciples of the Nascent Soul Stage and Soul Transformation Stage will all participate. Although your Cultivation is still low, you must also be prepared."

He took two jade bottles from his robes and handed them to them.

"These are Medicinal Pills taken from Peak Master Liu Changqing; one bottle each. Waner, focus on Cultivating your Primal Water Body and strive to Breakthrough to the Golden Core Late Stage within three months. Shallow Snow, focus on tempering your sword embryo and strive to Breakthrough to Golden Core within three months."

Lin Waner took the jade bottle, her eyes slightly red. "Senior Brother, will you come to see us?"

"Of course." Su Ye rubbed her head. "I will be in seclusion in the Cold Jade Palace; we can see each other every day."

"That's good." Lin Waner smiled through her tears.

Lin Qianxue did not speak, only gripping the sword embryo in her hand tightly.

Su Ye turned to Yun Yuzhen. "Revered Master, I will trouble you to look after them for these three months."

Yun Yuzhen nodded. "Rest assured, with me here, it will be fine."

Su Ye looked at her, a glimmer of tenderness flashing in his eyes. "Also, Revered Master, you must Cultivate well yourself. Remember to take that box of supreme yin ultimate bliss pill on time."

Yun Yuzhen's pretty face flushed red. "I know! You're so long-winded!"

Su Ye smiled. He walked over and gently embraced her. "Wait for me for three months."

Yun Yuzhen's body stiffened, then slowly relaxed, reaching out to wrap her arms around his waist. "Hmm."

Three days later. Cold Jade Palace, secret chamber.

Su Ye sat cross-legged, his body shrouded in a faint golden light.

In front of him were three jade bottles filled with high-level Medicinal Pill looted from Peak Master Liu Changqing. There was also a pile of Top-Grade Spirit Stone, stacked into a small mountain.

These were the resources for his Cultivation over these three months.

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

The Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art circulated, and a terrifying devouring power surged from his body, enveloping the surrounding Medicinal Pill and Spirit Stone.

The Medicinal Pill transformed into pure medicinal power, and the Spirit Stone transformed into rich Spiritual Qi, pouring continuously into his body.

His aura began to slowly rise.

Nascent Soul Seventh Heaven Early Stage... Nascent Soul Seventh Heaven Middle Stage... Nascent Soul Seventh Heaven Late Stage... Nascent Soul Seventh Heaven Great Perfection!

In just three days, he went from Nascent Soul Seventh Heaven Early Stage to Seventh Heaven Great Perfection!

If others knew, their jaws would certainly drop.

But Su Ye was not satisfied. This was just the beginning.

What he wanted was to Breakthrough to the Soul Transformation Stage within three months!

Continue Cultivating!

Meanwhile. Purple Bamboo Peak, Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.

Lin Waner was playing happily with the Golden-Haired Lion. She rode on the lion's back, galloping across the grass, her laughter echoing throughout the valley.

After playing for half an hour, she remembered Senior Brother's instructions, jumped off the lion's back, sat cross-legged on the grass, and began to Cultivate.

The Primal Water Body activated automatically, and the surrounding water Spiritual Qi poured madly into her body.

Her aura also began to slowly rise.

Golden Core Fourth Heaven Middle Stage... Golden Core Fourth Heaven Late Stage... Golden Core Fourth Heaven Great Perfection!

In just three days, she went from Golden Core Fourth Heaven Early Stage to Fourth Heaven Great Perfection!

The Golden-Haired Lion lay beside her, feeling the increasingly strong aura on her, its eyes full of awe.

This little girl is too terrifying!
