Chapter 1025: Make Them Regret Coming to This World!
Su Yi endured the pain in his heart as he took out 200 Yuan Stones and handed them to the inn’s waiter.
Due to the alliance conference, Nine Star City had become a gathering place for numerous experts from the Chaos Realm. If he didn’t stay at this inn, there would certainly be plenty of others willing to pay to secure a room.
Afterward, he led the Green Emperor, the Yin-Yang Dark Emperor, the Soul Devouring Emperor, and Huang Jian upstairs.
Among them, Su Yi had most wanted a private courtyard. However, upon seeing the price, he felt dizzy. That being said, while this inn might have been pricey, its overall conditions were quite good.
The rooms were clean and spacious enough. For cultivators like them, the accommodations provided more than enough space for each to find a place to meditate. After all, this group of men and women wasn’t overly concerned with such trivial matters.
“It almost suffocated me!”
As soon as they entered the room, Su Xiaoshuai bounced out of Su Yi’s arms, grumbling in dissatisfaction.
“Set up a barrier for me and keep watch outside. I want to check on my big brother.”
After instructing the Green Emperor and the Yin-Yang Dark Emperor, Su Yi opened the mysterious space and entered it alone.
Su Yi and his group had rushed to Nine Star City, and over twenty days had passed. During this time, they had not disturbed Xi Wuqing. However, Su Yi guessed that his big brother might have already succeeded in breaking through after consuming the Imperial Extreme Heavenly Soul Pill. With so much time gone by, it seemed likely.
As a wave of rich spiritual energy enveloped him, Su Yi stepped into the mysterious space and immediately heard a voice.
“You’ve arrived!”
“Big brother!”
Su Yi exclaimed excitedly as he looked ahead. There, an old man sat cross-legged. Slowly, the old man opened his eyes and exhaled deeply.
Judging from his appearance, Xi Wuqing had completed his seclusion and was now simply resting.
Under Su Yi’s gaze, Xi Wuqing completely suppressed his aura, refraining from releasing it recklessly. Yet faint traces of his cultivation progress could still be sensed. It was clear that his strength had increased significantly. Su Yi could feel the profound and vast energy emanating from him, and his eyes couldn’t help but shine with excitement.
“Big brother, you’ve made a breakthrough! What level have you reached?”
Unable to suppress his curiosity, Su Yi eagerly rushed forward and asked.
“Why are you so impatient, little brother?”
Seeing Su Yi’s enthusiasm, Xi Wuqing smiled and replied, “Indeed, I’ve successfully broken through to the Seventh Grade of the Yuan Emperor Realm.”
He said this casually, as though it were nothing extraordinary.
However, Su Yi was stunned upon hearing these words.
“You’ve reached the Seventh Grade of the Yuan Emperor Realm! And you even skipped the third grade? Big brother, are you really that amazing?”
Su Yi’s jaw dropped in disbelief.
He knew that, previously, his big brother had only been at the Fourth Grade of the Yuan Emperor Realm when he subdued the Golden Gryphon. But now, after consuming the Imperial Extreme Heavenly Soul Pill, not only had he surpassed the fifth and sixth grades, but he had directly reached the Seventh Grade.
This kind of leap was truly astonishing.
In the Yuan Emperor Realm, each grade was like a separate world. It was incredibly rare for anyone to achieve such a rapid breakthrough. If this news were to spread, it would undoubtedly shock countless people.
“Kid, stop being so surprised!”
Seeing Su Yi’s expression, Xi Wuqing smiled and said, “Even though breaking through three grades at once sounds extraordinary, you should also consider how many years I’ve been preparing for this day.”
His tone carried both a sense of relief and accomplishment.
“That’s true!”
Hearing this, Su Yi nodded in agreement.
His big brother had remained in the Third Grade of the Yuan Emperor Realm for many years, meticulously preparing and gathering materials to refine the Imperial Extreme Heavenly Soul Pill. With all his hard work, coupled with the pill’s terrifying effects, such a monumental breakthrough was understandable.
In addition, the mysterious space and the spiritual essence within it played a crucial role.
“I have to thank you, kid. If it weren’t for the Star Cloud Ganoderma, I don’t know if I could have achieved this breakthrough in my lifetime!”
Xi Wuqing shook his head, his eyes filled with gratitude as he looked at Su Yi.
He couldn’t believe that the messy-haired boy he had met in the Forest of Demons had grown up so quickly and brought him so many benefits. Once upon a time, Su Yi had been in debt to Lingbao Pavilion for attempting to acquire the Star Cloud Ganoderma.
“Big brother, there’s no need for formal words between us,” Su Yi said with a determined gaze. “The stronger you are, the happier I’ll be. It strengthens my belief that the Overlord Sect will rise to prominence. Even if we face Sacred Mountain or Tianlong Sect, we will not falter!”
Su Yi’s eyes burned with passion as he looked at Xi Wuqing, his entire being radiating confidence and energy.
“Good! Together, as brothers, we’ll create brilliance!” Xi Wuqing responded, his blood surging with enthusiasm. The two exchanged a palm strike, their hearty laughter filling the air.
“I wonder where our second and third brothers are now…” Su Yi’s mood turned somber as he thought of Xu Chen, their second brother, and Flame Scale, their third. He had been worried about them since they were separated.
“After spending months in the Chaos Realm, I still have no idea where they could be,” he said, sighing softly. “And then there’s Su Tian Que…” His thoughts drifted to the strange, featherless bird.
“There’s a saying: good people will always have good fortune. I believe they’ll be fine,” Xi Wuqing reassured him. “We brothers will reunite one day.”
Su Yi nodded slowly, his gaze shifting to Feng Qier, who was meditating in the corner of the space. Together, Su Yi and Xi Wuqing stepped out of the mysterious space.
After learning the cultivation technique from Xi Wuqing, Feng Qier had been enduring immense pain as she used it to suppress the power of the Disastrous Poison Soul. Despite her apparent frailty, Su Yi could see her unwavering determination to overcome hardships and repay both him and Xi Wuqing.
“Breaking through to the third grade… it’s terrifying!”
The Green Emperor, Yin-Yang Dark Emperor, Soul Devouring Emperor, and Huang Jian were all shocked by Xi Wuqing’s rapid progress. Only Su Xiaoshuai remained indifferent, as if such feats were ordinary.
Xi Wuqing’s breakthrough significantly enhanced his soul power, raising the Overlord Sect’s overall strength to a new level. Previously, even as a third-grade Yuan Emperor Realm cultivator, he could confront sixth-grade experts. Now, as a seventh-grade Yuan Emperor Realm Soul Tamer, he could likely defeat ninth-grade opponents with ease.
“Among the third-rate forces of the Chaos Realm, it’s unlikely anyone could stand against Xi Wuqing now,” Su Yi speculated.
“There are only a few days left before the League Conference’s preliminary selection begins,” Su Yi calculated. “The registration deadline for major forces ends the day after tomorrow.”
Xi Wuqing warned, “Nine Star City isn’t safe. Although private fights are forbidden during the conference, trouble is inevitable. If first- or second-rate forces target you, it will only invite endless complications.”
Su Yi nodded in agreement. “We’ll stay put. You protect me while I spend a few days cultivating in the mysterious space.”
With that, Su Yi entered the mysterious space, bringing Su Xiaoshuai along to prevent him from causing mischief. Inside, the Green Emperor, Yin-Yang Dark Emperor, Soul Devouring Emperor, and Huang Jian set up strict restrictions to isolate all energy releases.
Meanwhile, Nine Star City grew increasingly lively as participants flocked to the alliance conference. Third-rate powers, scattered cultivators, and solo practitioners were all eager to secure a spot in the preliminary selection.
First-rate and second-rate powers, on the other hand, sought to recruit promising talents from the competition. Amid this bustling scene, in an inn on the other side of the city, members of the Seven Star Sword Sect and the Golden Sword Sect were deep in discussion.
“I’ve uncovered that kid’s background,” Ran Jianxuan said to Yang Baikun. “He belongs to a sect called Overlord Sect.”
“Overlord Sect!” Yang Baikun’s eyes burned with hatred. “A name I’ve never even heard of! I’ll make them regret ever stepping into this world!”
