A quarter of an hour later.
Leaving the jungle, Ye Xuan arrived at a city called Bai City. Before entering the city gate, he heard a buzz of discussion. Great Winds Novel Network.
"Did you hear? Something big happened in Emperor City!"
"How could I not have heard? It's said that the King of Beiliang and the King of Pingtian of our empire have joined forces to attack Emperor City to restore order!"
"That's right. Nowadays, the princes are vying for power, and the Emperor is unwell. Perhaps the King of Beiliang and the two intend to take the position of Emperor themselves."
"Heh, who knows? Anyway, it has nothing to do with us~~"
Hearing the discussions of the people around, Ye Xuan frowned. It turned out as he had expected. After such a long time, it was clear that some people's ambitions had grown considerably.
"Ding! The host has triggered a random mission. Step into the fifth-order Void Ancestor and kill no less than three Dao Ancestor powerhouses, the King of Beiliang and the King of Pingtian. Reward: 30 million Galaxy Coins, plus 1 million top-grade Imperial Crystals!"
As soon as he stepped into Bai City, Ye Xuan heard the system's voice. As expected, the missions had returned, and this time the reward included not only 30 million Galaxy Coins but also a full 1 million top-grade Imperial Crystals.
Judging by the rewards alone, they were not ungenerous, especially the million top-grade Imperial Crystals, which were very tempting.
After a moment of thought, Ye Xuan looked towards Emperor City. "The actions of the King of Beiliang and the King of Pingtian are tantamount to forcing the Emperor to abdicate."
"It seems I still need to go to Emperor City to complete the mission..."
Of course, before heading to Emperor City, Ye Xuan could complete the other half of the system's mission, which was to advance to the fifth-order Void Ancestor realm.
If it were for outsiders, it would be difficult to advance from the fourth-order Void Ancestor to the fifth-order in two days in Emperor City. However, for Ye Xuan, it was not impossible!
After all, although it was two days, that was for ordinary people.
Ye Xuan possessed the Exquisite Pagoda. The first level alone had an 8x time flow rate, and the second level had a 16x rate, as well as a 50x energy concentration.
This meant that Ye Xuan's time was not 2 days, but 16 days!
After a short rest.
Ye Xuan left Bai City and entered the second level of the Exquisite Pagoda for cultivation. Without further ado, he directly took out a spiritual medicine of 400,000 years. Clearly, to achieve a faster breakthrough, spiritual medicine was a good choice.
"Then let's begin."
Ye Xuan, with a slight curve of his lips, muttered and then shattered the 400,000-year-old spiritual medicine, which turned into pure energy and surged into Ye Xuan's body.
With a thunderous roar!
Ye Xuan felt the familiar surge of medicinal power. After all, the 400,000-year-old spiritual medicine had almost caused him to explode and die back then.
Ye Xuan, whose fourth-order Void Ancestor realm was already stable, saw his cultivation level soar at a visible speed.
Just like that...
Under the 50x energy concentration of Ye Xuan's Exquisite Pagoda, on the second day, Ye Xuan completely refined the 400,000-year-old spiritual medicine, and his realm advanced to the peak of the fourth-order Void Ancestor.
On the fourth day, another 400,000-year-old spiritual medicine was refined, bringing him to the verge of the ultimate peak of the fourth-order Void Ancestor!
On the sixth day, Ye Xuan reached the ultimate peak of the fourth-order Void Ancestor!!
On the eighth day, Ye Xuan did not use another 400,000-year-old spiritual medicine. Instead, he took out an unprecedentedly potent 500,000-year-old spiritual medicine. This kind of spiritual medicine was the same kind that the Galaxy Emperor Ji Wutian had consumed without regard for the consequences.
With the enhancement of the super-grade spiritual medicine, Ye Xuan's realm soared as if he had taken drugs!
In an instant, Ye Xuan's aura reached the very peak of the ultimate fourth-order Void Ancestor, only one step away from the fifth-order Void Ancestor, after all, it was a 500,000-year-old spiritual medicine.
Even though Ye Xuan had developed some resistance after using many spiritual medicines, he couldn't withstand the quality of the 500,000-year-old spiritual medicine!
Boom!!!!
On the second level of the Exquisite Pagoda, on the ninth day, Ye Xuan's body trembled, and an aura of the fifth-order Void Ancestor realm surged forth.
At this moment!
Ye Xuan had undoubtedly become a fifth-order Void Ancestor powerhouse!
Although Ye Xuan's realm had advanced, in terms of combat power, it was estimated that Ye Xuan's full strength at this moment could contend with the Old Ancestor Long Yan!
Ten days!
Eleven days!
Twelve days!!
Soon, the sixteen-day limit arrived, and at this moment, Ye Xuan's strength had grown significantly once again. Although not yet at the peak of the fifth-order Void Ancestor, he was only a step away from that realm!
It could be seen how effective the 500,000-year-old spiritual medicine was!
Because of this, Ye Xuan's divine sense fell upon the several 600,000-year-old spiritual medicines and the one 700,000-year-old spiritual medicine in his spatial ring, his eyes filled with fervor!
If he were to consume all these spiritual medicines... he wondered if he would directly advance to the Dao Ancestor realm!
A Dao Ancestor realm at the young age of twenty-four, if this were to spread, it would not only shake the heavens of the Galaxy Empire but also tear a hole in the heavens of the Haotian Immortal Kingdom.
Finally!
Ye Xuan flashed and left the Exquisite Pagoda, bringing Xiao Hei out into the world with him. However, at this moment, Xiao Hei had two bumps on its head, which were clearly budding dragon horns.
Of course, what drew the most attention was that Xiao Hei's strength had already advanced to the Venerable realm, and it was already a second-order Venerable!
It could be said that he had benefited greatly during this period in the Exquisite Pagoda, as he was only at the sixth-order Great Emperor realm the last time he entered!
"Master, is this the Emperor City of the Galaxy Empire?"
Xiao Hei stared curiously with its rolling eyes, showing no sign of its fearsome demeanor at all. It was completely like a country bumpkin who had just arrived in a bustling city.
"It's truly bustling~~"
Xiao Hei couldn't help but lick its lips, then took a top-grade Imperial Crystal from its neck, crunched it, and swallowed it to calm its nerves.
This scene, however, left the surrounding pedestrians stunned.
"Holy crap~"
"Where did this prodigal son come from, actually feeding top-grade spirit stones to his pet? What a sin!"
Many pedestrians licked their lips and gulped. Honestly, if they could, they would have pounced forward and snatched the food from Xiao Hei.
Damn it!
I've been cultivating for thousands of years, yet I'm not living as well as a snake~~
"Kid, how much is this snake? I want it!"
Just then, a young man with an arrogant expression looked down at Ye Xuan. As an elite disciple of the Burning Heaven Holy Land of the Haotian Immortal Kingdom, and ranked eighth on the Earthly Ranking, he had every right to do so.
However... this time, he had clearly misjudged.
"Oh?"
Hearing Fan Wuxin's words, Ye Xuan stopped. Xiao Hei the dragon on his shoulder also tilted its head, looking at Fan Wuxin with great interest. Was this kid an idiot?
Trying to snatch his own master's pet from him, he was simply courting death!
"You want this little thing~!"
As he spoke, Ye Xuan picked up Xiao Hei the dragon by its tail and dangled it. Of course, Xiao Hei wouldn't show any temper, and took another top-grade Imperial Crystal into its mouth.
"Of course!"
Fan Wuxin was determined to get it. As an elite disciple of the Burning Heaven Holy Land, top-grade Imperial Crystals were not as important to him as they were to ordinary people. "As long as you name your price, I can afford it!"
"Heh heh, is that so."
Looking at Fan Wuxin, who was like a fool, Ye Xuan's lips curled into a smirk. "It's not much, one million top-grade Imperial Crystals."
Everyone, "!!!!"
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, everyone present was stunned. Fan Wuxin's expression immediately darkened. Damn it, this kid was playing him for a fool, courting death!!
