The ruthless man spoke calmly, yet with a hint of embarrassment.

She had been eager to improve her cultivation level so as not to fall too far behind.

But he failed. Jiang Yun's cultivation speed was incredible, and he quickly surpassed Jiang Yun.

Even in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, she was filled with doubts.

Now, he has not only reached the realm above Immortal King, but has also suppressed and converted the terrifying Xuan Emperor, making him unimaginably powerful.

Even the most ruthless people inevitably experience moments of indescribable frustration, but they quickly recover and resolve to catch up.

At the same time, she had very mixed feelings. If it weren't for Jiang Yun, her future would have been uncertain after encountering the Xuan Bird in the Boundary Sea, and she owed Jiang Yun a favor for it.

All the past events flashed before her eyes, from when she first heard the name Jiang Yun, to when she heard about Jiang Yun's relationship with Nannan, all the way to what happened not long ago.

The ruthless man fell into a long silence.

Much later, the ruthless man spoke, his words calm and firm, unshaken by anything, seemingly driven only by his unwavering devotion to the Dao, which even drew Jiang Yun's attention.

"I need to go into seclusion again!"

Jiang Yun pondered to himself and quickly guessed what the ruthless man was thinking. It was because he had broken through too quickly that he had put unspeakable pressure on the ruthless man.

It's not about emotions, but the pressure of being surpassed and led by another genius.

He nodded slightly, understanding the ruthless person's thoughts, but he used the most sincere words to dissuade her, hoping she would not return to the Boundary Sea.

The ruthless man just witnessed him converting the Xuan Bird; this is a secret that absolutely cannot be revealed.

The consequences of such a leak would be unimaginable.

He wanted the ruthless person to enter his original world and cultivate there.

Afterwards, they went to the heavens and could change their identities to undergo trials in the heavens.

Jiang Yun had thought that the ruthless woman would refuse her suggestion. This woman was too arrogant and would not accept the suggestion. Perhaps Xiao Nannan would have to put in a lot of effort to persuade her.

But to his surprise, the ruthless man nodded silently, which surprised Jiang Yun, but also relieved him.

"That's good."

He opened the entrance to the primordial world, watched the ruthless man enter, and remained silent for a long time.

In his sight, the ruthless man casually found a place, set up a training ground, and then went inside to cultivate in seclusion.

This struck Jiang Yun as odd; the ruthless man's behavior was too unexpected and incomprehensible.

Seeing this, the little girl asked, "Brother, what are you looking at? Do you want to... go with that ruthless sister...?"

Jiang Yun's heart skipped a beat, and she waved her hand repeatedly to interrupt the little girl.

The ruthless man is exceptionally handsome and has a close connection with the little girl, which is indeed very tempting, but he doesn't have such thoughts right now. The pressure from the strange clan is too great.

Besides, the arrogance inherent in ruthless people isn't their nature, so why force them to stay?

"If she herself has the same idea, then that's a different story."

Jiang Yun smiled and shook her head, pulling the little girl into her arms and whispering sweet nothings in her ear.

The little girl blushed slightly, leaning against Jiang Yun's chest, twisting and struggling, thinking that this was not good, and that even a ruthless person might feel the same way.

Jiang Yun immediately reassured him, saying that it was impossible. The ruthless man had just said that he had personally used his methods to isolate this possibility. Would the ruthless man lie?

Moreover, the ruthless person is isolated in the original world.

The little girl closed her eyes and pondered quietly. Sure enough, she couldn't sense any of the ruthless man's thoughts or feelings. Finally, she breathed a sigh of relief and pressed her whole body against Jiang Yun, pouring out their hearts to each other.

After a long separation, they were reunited after more than a decade. They still had so much to say to each other. Overwhelmed with emotion, they embraced tightly, almost forgetting the passage of time.

What they didn't know was that the ruthless person frowned slightly in seclusion, ultimately using a unique method to suppress all feelings.

Finally, it's all over.

Jiang Yun took Xiao Nannan back to the original world to make final preparations before leaving.

He then went to a fragment of the Immortal Realm.

This place is extremely prosperous and is a sacred place for cultivation. It is protected by a powerful immortal king, and countless cultivators gather here.

Young cultivators could always be seen flying across the sky, many of them prodigies. They would engage in battle, but all of them would stop short of causing serious damage to this immortal realm, for fear of enraging the immortal king.

Jiang Yun was not just strolling around.

Several years ago, Ye Fan followed Jiang Yun's example and led many people to ascend to the Immortal Realm. After settling those people in the Origin World, he traveled and trained alone in the Immortal Realm.

It's been a long time since I've seen this cousin; he's now combining the paths of the Mortal Immortal and the Battle Immortal.

Although it has only been 200,000 years since its inception, it has been progressing slowly and steadily, accumulating strength before unleashing its full potential. Even the Desolate Heavenly Emperor did not take this path back then.

This can be considered as forging a new path, which makes Jiang Yun even more confident that his cousin can reach the top in the future and become the Ye Tiandi.

It would be good for Ye Fan to continue his adventures in the Immortal Realm and hone his skills.

But now it seems too risky. He has a close relationship with Jiang Yun, and after the sword light disappears, Kong Zun might take his anger out on Ye Fan.

This is a potential problem. Jiang Yun plans to take Ye Fan to the heavens and earth so that he can keep an eye on him.

Even the most mysterious races cannot reach inside, making it the best place to keep secrets.

Moreover, Ye Fan will rise rapidly in the heavens, growing at an even faster pace, and may become a powerful being on the side of the Great Dao long before it is achieved.

Jiang Yun landed and sat on a mountain peak. Not far away, a group of cultivators were fighting, presumably the young generation of prodigies vying for supremacy.

Some stronger individuals, at a higher level, stood at a distance, acting as protectors of these prodigies.

Some cultivators on the ground watched, pointing and whispering. Jiang Yun watched this scene with great interest, as he hadn't seen anything like it for many years.

Time flowed quietly, and before long, a sound wave came from the horizon, indicating that powerful figures were fighting.

Those present immediately turned to look, and soon their expressions of surprise and delight were revealed.

"They're from the Immortal Alliance! Are they hunting someone down?"

"Celestial King! It's a battle between Celestial Kings! Quick, hide!"

The newcomers were indeed from the Immortal Alliance, but it was a battle between two Immortal Kings.

The person who fought against the Immortal Alliance was none other than Jiang Yun's cousin—Ye Fan!
To this, Jiang Yun could only say one thing: No wonder he's his cousin, he gets chased and killed wherever he goes!
Actually, it wasn't solely Ye Fan's fault. After Jiang Yun suddenly disappeared, Chu Xuan and the others felt uneasy and sent people to search the entire Boundary Sea, scouring every corner, trying to find Jiang Yun's whereabouts.

In the end, they all failed and found nothing.

Chu Xuan was still worried that Jiang Yun had returned to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, so he had several trusted Immortal Kings stationed in the Immortal Realm, especially the Immortal Realm where Jiang Yun and his group had appeared, to monitor everything.

Once news of Jiang Yun is discovered, it must be reported to him. If anyone is found to have suddenly appeared, they must be apprehended immediately.

Several years ago, Ye Fan arranged for his relatives and friends to enter the Immortal Realm, where they encountered these Immortal Kings, leading to conflicts and great battles. His relatives and friends all escaped into their original worlds and are now safe and sound, while he has been fighting against the Immortal Kings in various places, engaging in guerrilla warfare.

Having honed his skills and traveled through the Immortal Realm, he was already able to engage in direct combat with the Immortal Kings using his Immortal Proficiency.

"Quick, after him! We can't let him get away this time!"

The deafening roar spread outwards, shaking the entire island. Countless birds were startled and hurriedly took flight, but soon fell back down, crashing to the ground.

It turned out that a great battle broke out in mid-air. A powerful immortal king's eyes flashed with mysterious runes, and terrifying pressure spread out. Everyone felt as if they had been burdened with an extra ten thousand pounds, and were heavily pressed to the ground and imprisoned.

This is a technique used by the Immortal King to trap Ye Fan. It is extremely powerful, but each use of it depletes his foundation, and using it too many times could even lead to a drop in his cultivation level. Therefore, he is reluctant to use it.

In the past, this Celestial King had never used it, as he was truly reluctant to make such a great sacrifice in order to capture Ye Fan.

After all, although Ye Fan has been confirmed to be from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, he looks unfamiliar. It is unknown whether he is a member of the Dao Source Force, and it is unknown how useful it would be to capture him.

This time, however, there was no way to change it.

"If they escape again, Immortal King Chuxuan will definitely be furious!"

This supreme immortal king took a deep breath, made up his mind, and was determined to capture Ye Fan at all costs.

He was known as the Immortal King Chongguang. Although he was Chu Xuan's confidant, he was unable to subdue Ye Fan despite his repeated attempts, which angered Chu Xuan.

It is said that Chu Xuan has sent another Immortal King to replace Immortal King Chongguang to capture Ye Fan.

The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are related to the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, which can traverse the sword light, and are highly valued by the Immortal Alliance.

At that time, Immortal King Chongguang will lose Chuxuan's trust and become a marginal figure in the Immortal Alliance.

Therefore, Immortal King Chongguang spared no expense and used his last means to capture Ye Fan before that Immortal King giant arrived, and to extract information about the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths from him.

The pressure was palpable, as if everyone was burdened with an immense weight, their movements slowed, and their internal strength was affected.

Ye Fan's expression was rather grim. He fled to this island because he thought it was very prosperous and he could take advantage of the chaos to escape the pursuit of the Immortal Alliance. He never expected that the powerful members of the Immortal Alliance would use such methods.

Asking the Black Emperor to request the Great Emperor Wushi's help goes against the original purpose of training. It's better to wait until there's really no other opportunity and then leave temporarily with the Source Ring.

Over these two hundred thousand years, nearly three hundred thousand, Ye Fan discussed the path to becoming a Battle Immortal with Wu Shi, Qing Di, Sheng Ti, Gu Huang, and others on numerous occasions.

With the occasional remote guidance from his cousin, he not only walked the path to immortality in the mortal world, but also successfully navigated the path to becoming a battle immortal.

The path to becoming a Battle Immortal grants unparalleled combat power, but its fierce nature shortens one's lifespan. Therefore, throughout history, very few people have successfully traversed the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. When elderly people attempt to become Battle Immortals, coupled with the shortened lifespan, no one can withstand the challenge.

Ye Fan needs to endure nine lifetimes of torment in the mortal world to become an immortal, with each lifetime having a longer lifespan than the last. However, by merging with the path of the Battle Immortal, he has become rapidly stronger.

Over the course of more than 200,000 years, he not only walked the path of immortality in the mortal world, but also walked the path of battle immortals for several lifetimes, and the two merged together.

He could easily defeat an ordinary Immortal King, but the difference in their cultivation levels was too great when facing Chongguang, one of the best among the top Immortal Kings.

If Ye Fan were given more time to break through to the Immortal King level, he was confident that he could suppress him within a hundred moves.

The Immortal King Chongguang was somewhat smug, a smile on his face. He believed that Ye Fan was now trapped and could not escape again. He breathed a sigh of relief and finally caught Ye Fan, not disappointing Chu Xuan.

He was about to send a message to the Immortal Alliance to report this good news and to ask the Immortal King to stop and not come to help anymore, as everything was over.

However, he suddenly noticed something, looked down at the island below, and after searching for a while, finally discovered something unusual.

This island seems somewhat familiar. Over two hundred thousand years ago, the Chu Xuan Immortal King was the most powerful Immortal King in the Immortal Alliance, and was considered the strongest Immortal King in history.

This was pure self-praise, but at that time, no one dared to challenge Chu Xuan's position. Some of the Immortal Kings from other factions submitted to Chu Xuan, while others chose to go into seclusion.

Some immortal kings later switched their allegiance to Chu Xuan, but they were not trusted and were treated as unofficial members.

There were just too many people vying for a piece of the pie, and he joined them late, so he was inevitably ostracized.

Finally, the Immortal King had no choice but to leave the Boundary Sea and come here to live in seclusion. Many people followed him, and a prosperous island was formed.

Why would Ye Fan come here?

Chongguang Immortal King was somewhat worried; could this Immortal King really have a problem?

He even had connections with the Dao Source forces, which is why Ye Fan came to seek refuge with him.

Suddenly, the Celestial King felt a sense of vigilance and shouted loudly, his voice carrying a hint of warning.

Where is the Immortal King Yuankong?

The sound traveled far and wide, and many cultivators heard it. They were all wondering, who was the Immortal King Yuan Kong?
I've never heard of this name before.

However, some people remembered something and realized that the powerful figure protecting this island seemed to be the Immortal King Yuan Kong.

This name is no longer in use, buried by time, and only a few people know about it.

This is normal. Even the appearance of that Yuan Kong Immortal King has changed. He has become an old man with white hair, completely different from the past. People who are not familiar with him would hardly recognize him.

Before long, many people remembered this past. Yuan Kong Immortal King was once a powerful figure in the Immortal Alliance, but he left later.

"Yuan Kong, are you not cooperating with the Immortal Alliance's work?"

The Immortal King Chongguang's face was gloomy. He bent down to look at an old man in the island's mountains and forests and spoke in a deep voice.

Isn't that Yuan Kong Immortal King?
Just now, he suppressed the rebels, but Yuan Kong, as a member of the Immortal Alliance, remained indifferent and did not offer any assistance.

That doesn't make sense.

This statement surprised everyone. Was that the Immortal King Yuan Kong? He hadn't shown up earlier because he felt that a traitor wasn't worth his personal attention.
However, several powerful individuals frowned, fear lingering in their hearts, sweat beading on their foreheads, and the magical artifacts they had refined were trembling, almost out of control, as if they had encountered an immense crisis.

This Yuan Kong Immortal King seemed to want to make a move just now, but was suppressed by a young man who raised his hand and dared not move.
They had thought the old man was some kind of supreme being, but they never expected him to be the Yuan Kong Immortal King.

How terrifying must the being who could suppress the Immortal King Yuankong with a wave of his hand be!
"Could it be that……"

A powerful figure felt his hair stand on end and finally couldn't resist. He reached out and grabbed the junior he was protecting, then fled into the distance at high speed.

With one person taking the lead, the other powerful individuals who had guessed the truth followed suit, quickly leaving this place of trouble.

This scene stunned many people. They had no idea what had happened. Their hearts were shaken, as if they were experiencing an indescribable upheaval, but they were in the thick of it all, unable to see the truth, and completely confused about the specific situation.

Even the Immortal King Chongguang was curious as to why these people had fled.

Even if Ye Fan really has a connection with Yuan Kong Immortal King, a great battle may not necessarily break out here.

He recalled what the cultivator had told him earlier, and cast a searching glance across the island's surface, trying to find the source. He quickly spotted a figure.
There he stood not far from the Immortal King Yuan Kong, holding a wine cup and drinking by himself, seemingly unaffected by anything, and oblivious to the battle raging in mid-air.

Even from a distance, the aroma emanating from the wine glass intoxicated him. This wine was brewed with a peerless elixir; who would be willing to drink it so heartily?

An ominous premonition arose in the mind of the Immortal King Chongguang.

At that moment, a voice rang in everyone's ears.

"Hehe, cousin, you seem a bit disheveled."

The voice was relaxed and had a calming effect, as if trying to soothe the aftershocks of the battle. (End of Chapter)
