"Oh!"
Upon hearing Dongfang Wenren's words, Murong Yiliu was clearly moved. Before she could express her excitement, Murong Yiliu nodded eagerly, "That would be good."
Subsequently, Murong Yiliu opened the white jade porcelain bottle and took out a pill. This pill was none other than the [Dao Breaking Pill].
The moment the [Dao Breaking Pill] appeared, an intensely concentrated medicinal fragrance instantly filled every corner of the City Lord's Mansion hall. Murong Yiliu's expression became even more solemn.
Ling Xiyue and Dongfang Yanran's eyes sparkled with brilliance, and they exclaimed involuntarily.
"This... such a rich medicinal aroma."
It was clear that both of them saw the strange look in each other's eyes, because just by smelling it, they felt a slight increase in their strength. This made them imagine how potent this pill was.
Murong Yiliu did not dare to delay and immediately put the [Dao Breaking Pill] into her mouth.
Because she understood that the longer it remained in the outside world, the more its efficacy would be lost!
After entering her mouth.
A thunderous roar!
A surge of powerful energy instantly filled Murong Yiliu's body. At that moment, the barrier of Murong Yiliu's cultivation, which was stuck at the peak of the third-order Dao Ancestor realm, let out a cracking sound. The effect was immediate.
Huh!?
Feeling the barrier of her cultivation realm about to crumble, Murong Yiliu furrowed her brows, then held her breath and focused on breaking through. Her inner excitement was beyond words.
Boom!!!
At a certain moment, under the impact of this vast ocean of energy, the barrier of the fourth-order Dao Ancestor realm was shattered with overwhelming force.
An aura of the fourth-order Dao Ancestor realm, with Murong Yiliu at its center, spread out in all directions!
For a moment, Murong Yiliu's clothes fluttered as if in a strong wind, though there was no breeze.
"This... she broke through!"
Ling Xiyue and Dongfang Yanran, seeing the aura around their ancestor Murong Yiliu, were also very excited. Murong Yiliu's breakthrough meant a great deal to their Xuan Nu Sect.
However, Murong Yiliu, after breaking through, clearly did not stop there, as she was originally a half-step fourth-order Dao Ancestor.
"She broke through again!!"
At one point, Dongfang Yanran, sensing Murong Yiliu's aura strengthen again, could not help but cry out in surprise.
It wasn't that she wanted to be like this, but... the scene before her was too shocking.
Peak fourth-order Dao Ancestor!
This was Murong Yiliu's current realm. At this moment, Ye Xuan flipped his right hand and produced a mid-grade immortal crystal. Seeing this, Dongfang Wenren licked his lips.
"Sect Leader Ling, your Xuan Nu Sect owes a great debt to the Alliance Leader. Do you know that the Alliance Leader is using a mid-grade immortal crystal for your ancestor Murong? It is a level above low-grade immortal crystals and has miraculous effects on the Dao Ancestor realm."
"Think about how you will repay the Alliance Leader in the future."
Ling Xiyue was stunned for a moment, then realized something. "Senior Dongfang, you mean... the Alliance Leader is using the legendary mid-grade immortal crystal for our ancestor."
"This..."
Before Ling Xiyue could finish her exclamation, under the surge of the mid-grade immortal crystal, Murong Yiliu, who was initially at a certain level of understanding, trembled. Her cultivation then surged again. In this way, she was forcefully "pulled up by the roots" by Ye Xuan to the peak of the fourth-order Dao Ancestor realm!
The series of actions left Ling Xiyue marveling.
"Master, Ling'er will definitely not let you down!!"
A short while later, Mu Ling'er left Shenlong City with Murong Yiliu and the others. At this moment, Mu Ling'er gained a new identity: the Saintess of the Xuan Nu Sect.
And this was not just a simple identity. According to past practice, the Saintess would receive key training from the Xuan Nu Sect. Mu Ling'er was even more exceptional.
What a joke!
With her talent, reaching the peak of the ninth-order Great Emperor realm before the age of twenty, if she did not perish in the future, she would surely become a paramount figure. The future of the Xuan Nu Sect could then be imagined.
"Right."
As Murong Yiliu was about to leave the hall, she suddenly thought of something. "Alliance Leader, do you still need subordinates?"
"I have a good suggestion."
After a pause, Murong Yiliu continued, "Alliance Leader may not know this, but the Xuan Nu Sect and the Haotian Sect have been friends for generations. However, their current situation is similar to ours. Moreover, the people of the Haotian Sect are righteous and know what they owe. If the Alliance Leader can take the Haotian Sect under his wing, they will surely serve you well in the future."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing Murong Yiliu's words, Ye Xuan was slightly taken aback. "Haotian Sect?"
Clearly, he had heard of this power. It was one of the few ten-direction super forces in the Milky Way Empire.
Half a day later.
The strongest old ancestor of the Haotian Sect was examining Feng Chen, the Saint Son of the Haotian Sect and Ye Xuan's eldest disciple, as if he had found a treasure. Feng Chen's strength was the same as Mu Ling'er's, at the peak of the ninth-order Great Emperor realm, just one step away from the Venerable realm.
Now, they had both become Saint Son and Saintess respectively. As for how far they would go in the future, it depended on their own fortune.
Murong Yiliu and the Sect Master of the Haotian Sect learned from their respective Saint Sons and Saintesses that their master, the Alliance Leader's disciple, was not just the two of them, but five people.
Moreover, their talents were no less than theirs, which undoubtedly surprised them.
As for Luo Wuji, the strongest old ancestor of the Haotian Sect, his realm, like Murong Yiliu's, had reached the peak of the fourth-order Dao Ancestor realm.
After dealing with the matters of the Xuan Nu Sect and the Haotian Sect, the experts from both sides departed. Shenlong City gained great fame after this event. When everyone had left, Ji Wutian suddenly arrived at the hall.
He had already guessed what had happened.
"Congratulations, second brother, for recruiting two more forces."
Ji Wutian, wearing a golden dragon robe, had his congratulatory voice reach them before he even entered the hall. Accompanying him was Ji Xuanyuan, the strongest person from the Ji family, a being just one step away from becoming an immortal.
The reason Ji Xuanyuan personally came was to show his sincerity!
"I never expected my elder brother's identity to be so extraordinary."
"The Milky Way Empire, the contemporary Emperor, tsk tsk~~"
Ye Xuan's slightly teasing words made Ji Wutian somewhat embarrassed. "Well, second brother, please don't take offense. I had no choice but to do so, as my identity is too sensitive."
After a while, Ji Xuanyuan also expressed his gratitude to Ye Xuan and inquired about the precautions for the incomplete [Immortal Slaying Sword Array]. After Ye Xuan's explanation, Ji Xuanyuan's respect for him deepened.
"On behalf of the entire Milky Way Empire, I thank young friend Ye for gifting this array!"
With a deep sigh, Ji Xuanyuan realized that the power of this array far exceeded his imagination. He rose and respectfully bowed to Ye Xuan. Ji Wutian did the same, as their bow was not for themselves, but for the countless common people of the Milky Way Empire.
Little did Ye Xuan know that this incomplete array would protect the Milky Way Empire from being destroyed by immortals, but that was a story for another time.
