Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

Without the permission of the three of them, no one else could enter this secret realm.

Even those from other sacred realms who wish to enter this place must force their way in!

Moreover, if they force their way in, it's impossible for them to remain completely unaware.

But what was that sudden sound just now?!

The three Venerable Xuanwei stared intently ahead as countless points of light converged from all directions, coalescing into a slender human figure in less than a breath.

Indeed, this was Xia Jin, the "newly promoted saint of the human race" they had just been discussing.

When the three Venerable Xuanwei saw Xia Jin's face clearly, they all frowned.

What's wrong with this kid?

With their combined strength at the mid-stage of the Saint Realm, entering this place without their permission would mean forcing their way in!

But how did this kid manage to suddenly enter this secret realm right in front of them?!

"Senior brother!! Why bother with all this? Just take down this kid..." Venerable Qian Yuan put down his wine cup, a cold glint in his eyes.

But just as he was about to make a move, Venerable Xuanwei raised his right hand to stop him.

Venerable Xuanwei looked at Xia Jin with a smile, seemingly with a hint of friendliness.

"Young friend, your uninvited visit has surprised us three old fellows. Just now... we seem to have overheard something we shouldn't have?"

As he spoke, Venerable Qian Yuan and Venerable Ling Yuan, who had just been sitting, each released a killing intent that locked onto Xia Jin.

The two men's gazes fell on Xia Jin as if she were a fish on a chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered.

"Boy, our senior brother is asking you a question! Why aren't you answering?!" Venerable Qian Yuan mocked.

Xia Jin glanced at Venerable Xuanwei, her eyes showing absolutely no fear.

He sneered and instead walked directly to sit down opposite Venerable Xuanwei.

"This kid is so fearless!? Does he have some kind of backing?" Venerable Xuanwei watched as Xia Jin sat opposite him, even pouring himself a cup of spiritual wine and drinking it all in one gulp. A glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"I'm telling you three old devils, you don't need to be so hypocritical and secretive in front of me."

"Do you really think I don't know? In order to prolong your own lifespan, you once devoured the sacred pills of newly promoted human saints! No wonder that in the past ten thousand years, no new human saints have been known to the world. It turns out that the three of you have used them as medicine to prolong life."

Xia Jin tilted her head, her sarcasm deepening.

"I just overheard the three of you plotting and discussing how to devour my sacred pill!!"

"Here I am. If you're so capable, come and take it yourselves!"

Venerable Xuanwei narrowed his eyes slightly. His smile remained, but his eyes were now icy cold.

He stared intently at Xia Jin.

"You know we want to devour your sacred pill, yet you dare to come here alone to your death!? What gives you such confidence!?"

As Venerable Xuanwei spoke, Venerables Qianyuan and Lingyuan, who were originally sitting beside him, stood up at the same time and appeared on the left and right sides behind Xia Jin.

The two men's positioning completely cut off all possible escape routes for Xia Jin.

However, their actions did not cause Xia Jin the slightest bit of fear.

After all, he is now a legendary figure in the Mythical Realm. Dealing with these three old guys in the mid-stage of the Saint Realm is easier than crushing an ant.

But he wasn't in a hurry to take action because it would be too boring.

Xia Jin raised an eyebrow, looking at Venerable Xuanwei's somewhat gloomy face.

"Do you think you can take me by the nose by doing this?"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Xuanwei smiled faintly.

"Young friend, you have only just entered the Saint Realm. In terms of strength, any one of us three brothers could easily suppress you. If we weren't afraid that you would become desperate and self-destruct, thus damaging the full potency of the Saint Pill, my two junior brothers wouldn't have put on such a show."

Standing behind Xia Jin, Venerable Qian Yuan was already getting impatient.

"Senior brother, no need to waste words with this brat! Let me capture him and take the sacred pill!"

Before he could finish speaking, Venerable Qian Yuan had already made his move!

With a flick of his wrist, the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi suddenly flew out of his hand, landing three feet above Xia Jin's head.

Immediately afterwards, a faint blue light descended from the Ruyi, enveloping Xia Jin completely.

The azure light contained an extremely pure binding force, which seemed to have completely locked away Xia Jin's physical body and soul.

Xia Jin glanced slightly upwards, her gaze landing on the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi floating above her head, and simply uttered five words.

"A jade ruyi scepter with three treasures?"

The Venerable Qian Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, and seeing that Xia Jin seemed to be completely immobilized, he became even more smug.

"Boy, you do have some discerning eye, recognizing this treasure! To die beneath this treasure of mine is quite a blessing!"

"What a pity, it's just a replica." Xia Jin sighed softly, shaking her head as if somewhat disappointed.

"You actually consider this fake a treasure?"

As they spoke, Xia Jin slowly raised her right hand in surprise, amidst the astonished gazes of Venerable Qian Yuan, Venerable Ling Yuan, and Venerable Xuan Wei!

Venerable Qian Yuan's pupils dilated, and he exclaimed in shock,

"Impossible!! How could you still move under the suppression of the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi?!"

In his understanding, even beings at the mid-stage of the Saint Realm would be suppressed to the point of being unable to function their souls if they were directly covered by his Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.

Xia Jin is merely a newly promoted Saint Realm cultivator; it's already surprising that she can speak, but how can her physical body still move?!

However, what happened next made the three Venerables' eyes almost pop out of their sockets.

Xia Jin casually grabbed the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi hanging above her head and pulled it down.

He really did pull the three-treasure jade ruyi down from the sky.

"Hmph! A three-treasure jade ruyi?! A fake is still just a fake!"

Xia Jin applied slight pressure with her five fingers.

"Snap!!"

The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, which had been refined by Venerable Qian Yuan for countless millennia, was crushed into dozens of pieces in Xia Jin's palm.

Xia Jin grinned at the three people who were already dumbfounded, a smile full of mockery.

"Sorry, I accidentally... crushed your counterfeit."

"However, I've heard you're always magnanimous, so I suppose you won't hold it against me, right?! Hahahaha!!"

The place instantly fell into a deathly silence, with only Xia Jin's laughter echoing in this secret realm.

The three Venerable Qian Yuan, Venerable Ling Yuan, and Venerable Xuan Wei stood frozen on the spot like three stone statues, their eyes fixed on the shattered jade pieces scattered on the ground. In just a few breaths, their expressions changed from shock to horror.

After an unknown amount of time, Venerable Qian Yuan was the first to recover from his shock.

A boundless rage erupted like a volcano!

"You!!! You actually dared to damage my supreme magical artifact!! You deserve to die!!!"

Venerable Qian Yuan roared, unleashing his terrifying Saintly Realm aura without reservation.

He took a step forward, his five fingers forming a claw, and grabbed directly at Xia Jin's crown!

But to his surprise, Xia Jin was still sitting on that stone chair, the mocking smile on her lips not diminishing in the slightest.

"Old Ghost, aren't you mistaken about something?"

"Could it be... that you really think I'm just a newly ascended Saint Realm expert? Trying to kill me? Forget you, even if the three of you joined forces, it would be like an ant trying to shake a tree!!"
