Center of the chamber.
Ye Wushuang was completely naked, his slender figure from head to toe showing no prominent muscle lines, yet it was extremely well-proportioned.
His long hair and eyebrows remained intact.
His eyes slowly opened, a gleam of sharp light flashing briefly.
A faint crimson glow shimmered across the surface of his body.
With each breath, scorching heat circulated endlessly.
”Arrogant Self, Seventh Tribulation Realm！”
Ye Wushuang spread his arms, examining himself with deep satisfaction in his eyes.
This was the true Arrogant Self Seventh Tribulation Realm—flawless.
At the same time, the Four Symbols Earth Core Flame reformed, taking the shape of a four-headed fiery beast.
However, compared to its previous somewhat dull appearance, the Four Symbols Earth Core Flame now exuded a more lively aura.
”A single Heavenly Fire Essence Stone naturally can’t elevate you to Heavenly Fire status, but there’s plenty of time. The higher your spiritual intelligence, the greater your future achievements.”
Ye Wushuang chuckled as the Four Symbols Earth Core Flame gradually dispersed into flames, vanishing into his body.
At the same time, when Ye Wushuang clenched his fist, faint fiery patterns flickered briefly across his skin.
”Great Flame Body Tempering Art！”
Ye Wushuang said joyfully, “This is just laying the foundation. Once I reach the Star-Plucking Realm, I can truly begin cultivating this Emperor-grade Spirit Art.”
The value of a single Heavenly Fire Essence Stone is truly immeasurable.
This provides immense assistance to Ye Wushuang’s own advancement.
Most importantly, it eliminates the hidden dangers of him reaching the Seventh Tribulation Realm.
This also officially signifies that Ye Wushuang at this moment already possesses the preparation to impact the Star-Seizing Transformation Realm.
Only by truly reaching the Star-Seizing Transformation Realm can one step into the pinnacle level of the Tianyuan Continent, and many things can then begin to be prepared.
Suppressing the joy in his heart and donning a new blue martial robe, Ye Wushuang prepared to leave the secret chamber.
The corpses of Zhao Tianhe and the other three had long been reduced to ashes, and there was nothing mysterious left in this place.
Moreover, with Zhao Tianhe and his companions missing for so long, Zhao Tianqing, Qi Zhenzhong, and others would inevitably grow suspicious.
But just as Ye Wushuang was about to leave, his gaze fell on the chamber’s wall, and he froze in surprise.
Previously, this inner chamber had nothing peculiar about it, with bookshelves on all three sides.
But now, everything inside the chamber has been burned to ashes, the walls shedding their soot to reveal three jade-paneled surfaces.
On these three jade walls, faint streaks of fiery patterns flickered intermittently, appearing and disappearing.
Ye Wushuang’s footsteps came to a halt.
Gazing at the fiery patterns on the walls.
The flickering of these fiery patterns was not chaotic or random.
”Another formation…”
Ye Wushuang raised an eyebrow and stopped completely, carefully examining the traces of fiery patterns on the walls.
After roughly the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Ye Wushuang suddenly raised both hands, with spiritual patterns surging in his palms and strands of energy swirling through.
The spiritual patterns shot out instantly, striking the walls.
A terrifying aura surged and spread.
Boom…
A low, rumbling roar suddenly echoed.
The fiery patterns on the three walls flickered and pulsed at an accelerated rate, and soon, the entire chamber was enveloped in swirling flames.
In an instant.
Thud…
A dull, thunderous sound erupted as the central wall directly facing Ye Wushuang shattered violently.
The wall exploded, revealing a passage that stretched forward.
Even Ye Wushuang hadn’t expected that behind this hidden chamber lay another hidden realm.
Gripping the Taiyuan Spirit Sword tightly, Ye Wushuang stepped forward, his spiritual energy surging as he entered the passage…
At the same time.
Amidst the ruins of a dilapidated ancient palace.
Qi Zhenzhong, Qi Zhentian, Qi Zhenshan, and Zhao Tianqing’s group had gathered.
”Where’s Third Brother？”
Zhao Tianqing frowned as he looked at the Zhao clansmen and inquired.
”Third Master and Zhao Quan were together with the other two all along. No one has seen where they went…”
”Go find them！” Zhao Tianqing said with visible dissatisfaction.
The Zhao family members immediately scattered.
After a while, the group returned.
”Clan Leader, we couldn’t find Third Master！”
Hearing this, Zhao Tianqing’s eyebrows shot up.
A middle-aged man in purple standing nearby chuckled and said, “Third Master… Could it be he discovered some good spot and sneaked off to dig it up himself？”
Zhao Tianqing immediately scolded upon hearing this, “Yu Feiyan, cut your damn nonsense！”
Yu Feiyan was the second-in-command of the Yu family and had recently reached the early stage of the Stellar Transformation Realm.
Initially, the Yu, Zhao, and Qi families had split into nine teams to ascend the mountain separately. The Yu family was also divided into two groups, but their clan leader, Yu Feiyun, had gone missing and still hadn’t been found.
Yu Feiyan led the other group of Yu family martial artists and had now reunited with the Qi and Zhao families at the mountaintop.
Seeing Zhao Tianqing’s anger, Yu Feiyan chuckled and said, “Chief Zhao, I was just joking…”
”Joking？” Zhao Tianqing snorted, “Chief Yu Feiyun still hasn’t joined us. Maybe he reached the mountain peak earlier than us and is secretly digging up some hidden site in the ruins！”
Yu Feiyan, displeased by Zhao Tianqing’s attitude, retorted, “Chief Zhao, no need to make such a big deal out of it, right？”
Seeing Zhao Tianqing and Yu Feiyan clash after just a few words, Qi Zhenshan mediated, “Alright, alright. We’ve searched until now and found nothing. Plus, Chief Yu Feiyun and Zhao Tianhe are missing again. Everyone’s frustrated, so let’s not argue.”
Once Qi Zhenshan spoke, Yu Feiyan and Zhao Tianqing fell silent.
”Still, this is indeed strange.”
Qi Zhenshan raised his brows and said, “Logically, Big Brother and Second Brother led the teams and climbed the fastest, arriving first. The rest of us reached the peak later.”
”Chief Yu Feiyun should have been slower but would eventually join us. Yet now, he’s nowhere to be found.”
”Now, Third Master Zhao is missing too…”
At these words, everyone nodded subtly.
The disappearances of Yu Feiyun and Third Master Zhao left the group feeling something was off.
Patriarch Qi Zhenzhong stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the ruins shrouded in thin mist, and couldn’t help but say： ‘This secret place within the Void Land was personally told to me by Pavilion Master Xu Mingxiu, who instructed me to lead your Zhao and Yu families here to explore. Before coming, neither patriarch knew about it.’
’Therefore, the information couldn’t have leaked. Yet, Yu Feiyun and Zhao Tianhe have disappeared one after another. I fear… we have a tail behind us！’
’Big Brother, are you saying someone is following us？’ Qi Zhentian exclaimed in shock： ‘Impossible！ If someone were tracking us, Big Brother, with your perfected Star Transformation Realm cultivation, would surely have noticed.’
Qi Zhenzhong rubbed his fingers lightly and said calmly： ‘The Tianyuan Continent is full of talented individuals. Some may not match us in strength, but their abilities in concealment and tracking are extraordinary.’
’But…’ Qi Zhentian paused and said： ‘Even so, if they managed to follow us undetected, it’s still impossible for them to silently take down Patriarch Yu Feiyun and Zhao Tianhe！’
These two men—one at the Star Transformation Realm, the other at the peak of the Delusion Realm—are not easy targets.
