The era of prosperity had arrived!
The Purple Golden Divine Dragon clone's standing among the ancestors of the Azure Dragon Sacred Land had soared, a fact unknown to both the clone itself and Ye Xuan.
Within the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, where time flowed twice as fast.
Inside a complex, abstruse grand formation.
*Roar!*
A piercing dragon's roar erupted, and a thousand-zhang Purple Golden Divine Dragon materialized within the formation. Tremendous celestial power surged in, like a prehistoric vortex, pouring into the Purple Golden Divine Dragon clone.
Instantly, the Purple Golden Divine Dragon clone reached the pinnacle of the third-tier Immortal realm!
The baptism of the celestial power waterfall was truly monstrous!
It was hard to imagine the scene when a top-grade immortal vein, accumulated for tens of thousands of years, erupted all at once.
"Good heavens, this celestial power infusion is truly potent!"
"Swallow it all for me!!!"
The Purple Golden Divine Dragon clone pushed its five-clawed Purple Golden Divine Dragon bloodline to the extreme. In an instant, the entire Azure Dragon Secret Realm trembled, clearly reaching the verge of collapse.
One could imagine the frenzied actions of the Purple Golden Divine Dragon clone.
After all!
Even the ancestors of the Azure Dragon Sacred Land likely possessed bloodline power far inferior to the Purple Golden Divine Dragon clone.
Time flowed in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm.
Half a day later, the Purple Golden Divine Dragon clone advanced to the fourth-tier Immortal realm!
One day later, peak fourth-tier Immortal!
One and a half days later, the extreme peak of the fourth-tier Immortal!
Two days later, fifth-tier Immortal!!
Thus, by the fifth day within the secret realm, the Purple Golden Divine Dragon clone's cultivation had soared to the peak extreme of the fifth-tier Immortal realm. The celestial power waterfall had thinned to a trickle, indicating that it would take at least tens of thousands of years to recover to its previous state.
*Rumble...*
At a certain moment, the Azure Dragon Secret Realm roared, and a figure flickered at its entrance. It was none other than the Purple Golden Divine Dragon clone, clad in purple-gold robes.
At this moment, the aura of a peak extreme fifth-tier Immortal surged from the Purple Golden Divine Dragon. The onlookers were all shaken, including Changsun Yan Yue, the strongest ancestor of the Azure Dragon Sacred Land.
The peak extreme of the fifth-tier Immortal realm was considerably higher than they had predicted.
Simultaneously, their regard for the Purple Golden Divine Dragon clone deepened.
The secret realm stirred, and prosperity descended!
They held firm belief in their ancestor's prophecy, and this scene already testified to the coming era of great prosperity.
As the ancestors of the Azure Dragon Sacred Land were stirred with excitement, the Sacred Land's grand competition was also in full swing.
To make a name for themselves, it was natural for first-rate powers to challenge the eight super-powers and the four supreme powers. Of course, the eight super-powers had now dwindled to six.
The reason? It was simple: the Martial lineage had annihilated the Purple Thunder Hall and the Blazing Heaven Sacred Land.
With Ye Xuan's subtle instigation, this matter had reached all factions, causing the Martial lineage's reputation to plummet in the eyes of various powers.
Just then, in the direction of the Martial lineage.
"Hmph!?"
"Young Miss of the Demonic Sect, are you certain?"
A fifth-tier Immortal of the Martial lineage's eyes flickered, then turned cold.
"Ancestor Ming Tai, it is absolutely true!"
The seventh-tier Dao Ancestor powerhouse spoke solemnly, then looked at Yu Hongyu beside Ye Xuan. "I once visited the Demonic Sect and happened to see the Young Miss of the Demonic Sect. At that time, she was only at the eighth-tier Emperor realm. I never expected her to reach the peak of the third-tier Void Ancestor realm in less than half a year."
"Oh?"
"It seems this Young Miss of the Demonic Sect is indeed a remarkable genius!!"
Wu Ming Tai glanced towards the direction of the Ten Thousand Swords Sacred Land, a meaningful curve appearing at the corner of his lips. "However, for the Ten Thousand Swords Sacred Land to have dealings with the Young Miss of the Demonic Sect, they are courting death."
While the Demonic Sect was powerful, they had numerous enemies within the Hao Tian Immortal Kingdom. This was because the Demonic Sect's methods were always ruthless, and they would stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
"In that case, we shall keep the Young Miss of the Demonic Sect here today."
As his words fell, Wu Ming Tai flickered and appeared in the arena. The aura of a fifth-tier Immortal surged, instantly drawing everyone's attention. Even the fierce battle between Mo Xuan You and an elite disciple of the Azure Dragon Sacred Land on the stage halted.
"Everyone, I propose we end the Azure Dragon Sacred Land's grand competition for today!"
Hmm!!
Upon Wu Ming Tai's declaration, the eyes of all factions turned towards him. Wu Ming Tai remained composed, a faint smile on his lips. "The reason is simple: the Ten Thousand Swords Sacred Land is colluding with the Demonic Sect!"
"This crime is unforgivable!!"
The words, striking at the heart of their loyalty, immediately drew all eyes to the direction of the Ten Thousand Swords Sacred Land. Yu Hongyu's pupils constricted. That old bastard.
"Heh heh, what? Is the Young Miss of the Demonic Sect a coward?"
Wu Ming Tai continued, his gaze falling on Yu Hongyu. "I believe everyone should know of the current Sect Master of the Demonic Sect, Yu Gui Luo, a tyrannical and overbearing figure. He has a daughter, also the Young Miss of the Demonic Sect."
"I believe the people from the Ten Thousand Swords Sacred Land present should include a woman surnamed Yu. If my estimation is correct, this person should be Yu Hongyu, the daughter of the Demonic Sect's Sect Master."
Whoosh~!!
At these words, all eyes, including those of the ten disciples from the Ten Thousand Swords Sacred Land, fell upon Yu Hongyu. Mo Xuan You and the others also did.
"What!"
Qin Wudao's face showed surprise upon hearing Wu Ming Tai's words. He looked at his sixth senior sister. "Sixth senior sister... Yu Gui Luo, the Sect Master of the Demonic Sect, could it be!?"
"No way!!"
Could sixth senior sister really be the Young Miss of the Demonic Sect? This... cough cough~!!
"What!"
"The dignified Young Miss of the Demonic Sect, could she be such a timid person?"
Wu Ming Tai's words were sharp and venomous, deliberately malicious. Upon hearing this, Yu Hongyu's killing intent surged, and her peak third-tier Void Ancestor aura erupted, followed by a monstrous demonic energy.
"Old bastard, you're courting death!!"
Yu Hongyu herself was not too bothered, but she could not tolerate his disparagement of the Demonic Sect. "Your paternal grandmother is right here. If you dare, come and kill me!"
Then, Yu Hongyu pursed her lips and turned to Ye Xuan, kneeling on the ground with a 'plop'. "Master, Hongyu apologizes for hiding my identity!"
Yu Hongyu clenched her fists tightly. She had not expected her identity to be exposed so quickly. The time she had spent as her master's disciple had been her happiest. Although her father loved her, he was always busy with sect affairs, inevitably neglecting her.
"Junior Sister!"
"Sixth Senior Sister!!!"
Mo Xuan You and the others, along with Qin Wudao, felt an intense ache in their hearts as they witnessed Yu Hongyu's determined act, as if a stone were lodged in their chests.
"Senior brothers, senior sisters, and junior brother Wudao."
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can no longer be with you all!"
Tears welled up in Yu Hongyu's eyes. She had finally experienced the warmth of family from her senior brothers, senior sisters, and junior brother. Was she to leave so soon?
After bidding farewell, Yu Hongyu's gaze was resolute. Her usual cheerful demeanor vanished as she declared, "Ancestor of the Martial lineage, if you have the guts, kill me now!"
"Heh heh, do you think I wouldn't dare?"
Wu Ming Tai's eyes narrowed, and he raised his hand, a destructive aura filling the air.
"Presumptuous!"
"Old bastard, how dare you touch my junior sister!!"
"Damn it, to touch my sixth senior sister, you'll have to step over my dead body first!!"
*Chiff~*
Figures flickered, and then stood in front of Yu Hongyu, forming a barrier to protect her. Four figures.
Mo Xuan You, Dongfang Qingkong, Bing Xiaoxue, and Qin Wudao!
Four geniuses who had displayed peerless talent in the Azure Dragon Sacred Land!
In that moment, the scene's emotional impact moved many present. In this era where strength reigned supreme, such loyalty and righteousness were exceptionally precious.
Seeing her senior brothers, senior sisters, and junior brother standing before her, willing to defy the world for her, Yu Hongyu's eyes welled up with tears. "Senior Brother Mo, Junior Brother Qin, you..."
