Super-Grade Celestial Monarch Elixir!

With his previous experience taking Top-Grade Celestial Monarch Elixirs, Xu Yang estimated that with his current strength, he wouldn’t last even ten breaths after consuming one Super-Grade Celestial Monarch Elixir.

But the tremendous power boost it would provide would be enough to finish a battle within three to five breaths.

If he couldn’t resolve it in that time, then a longer duration would be useless.

This was an absolute treasure.

Xu Yang didn’t stand on ceremony and quickly put it away.

Three Super-Grade Celestial Monarch Elixirs, one Ink Cloud Boat.

Ordinary second-rate powers couldn’t even produce such things.

"Are you planning to conceal your identity and go quietly?" Shi Feng asked.

Xu Yang nodded—this was exactly what he had in mind.

He could foresee that even after a month, there would probably still be enemies lurking in the shadows outside the War King Family’s secret realm.

This time, he truly enraged the Star Nebula Infinite Sea.

And even the Cloud Dream Soul Sect!

As top-tier factions, they had no shortage of strong cultivators and treasures.

"Go openly and aboveboard."

Shi Feng suddenly smiled.

"Openly?"

Xu Yang was briefly stunned and asked in suspicion, "Wouldn’t I be walking right into their net if I went out like that?"

"Come with me."

Shi Feng smiled mysteriously and led Xu Yang back under the Stone Spirit.

"The Stone Spirit possesses teleportation powers— it can send you directly to Dongyang City outside Dongyang Profound Sect, which is Dongyang Profound Sect’s headquarters."

"If you try to hide your identity, with the abilities of the Star Nebula Infinite Sea and Cloud Dream Soul Sect, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to spy out your true self; especially considering that the War King Family had secret dealings with Dongyang Profound Sect, there’s no guarantee it hasn’t leaked—Dongyang Profound Sect may even spread the word internally."

"If you conceal your identity and are targeted, they’ll have no qualms about killing you—dead is dead."

"If you go openly, even if you run into some trouble, they’ll have to think twice before making a move."

"After all, the Ancient Celestial Ruins are about to open; causing a major conflict now would do no side any good!"

Hearing Shi Feng’s explanations, Xu Yang immediately let out a breath.

No wonder he was the leader of a top power—his perspective was indeed far beyond the ordinary.

He couldn’t find the slightest flaw in this logic.

Thinking about it this way, going openly was indeed the best choice.

As for the troubles on the way?

Thinking about the three Super-Grade Celestial Monarch Elixirs on him, Xu Yang grinned—ordinary trouble was nothing to fear.

As for face-saving supremes making a move... concealing his identity might help a bit!

But if he went openly, coupled with what happened outside the secret realm earlier, every faction would have to weigh the risk.

If he appeared in Dongyang City, even Dongyang Profound Sect would have to guarantee his safety.

"The Patriarch truly thought of everything." Xu Yang bowed respectfully.

"You brat."

Shi Feng waved his hand with a smile, then flicked his finger.

Instinctively, a recess opened at the side of the Stone Spirit, forming a kind of jade platform swirling with spiritual radiance—quite remarkable!

"Step on up. It’ll teleport you directly to Dongyang City!"

"Alright."

Xu Yang’s expression turned solemn, and he stepped forward.

In the next instant, dazzling spiritual light flooded Xu Yang’s vision, making him instinctively close his eyes.

Whoosh!

The intense spatial distortion—like traversing space and time—suddenly swept in from all directions.

Xu Yang’s body trembled, and just as he felt a sharp tearing pain, it vanished without a trace.

Soon after, the sensation of landing came from under his feet.

"Already arrived?"

Xu Yang hurriedly opened his eyes. As the spiritual glow faded, a small, empty courtyard came into view.

Looking down, he saw that his feet were squarely on teleportation array runes.

"This place..."

Xu Yang looked around in surprise—it seemed to be a manor, with only a single teleportation array in this small courtyard.

As he stepped down, he heard hurried footsteps coming from outside.

Creak!

The gate was pushed open. A guard in armor saw Xu Yang and paused in surprise, then quickly bowed respectfully: "May I ask where you come from, sir? Are you here to visit our Dongyang Profound Sect?"

Hearing this, Xu Yang immediately understood— this teleportation array was set up by Dongyang Profound Sect, and the guards here belonged to them as well.

This made things even more convenient.

"I am Xu Yang, from the War King Family. I am here to visit your sect."

"Xu Yang? War King Family?"

The guard’s face showed a flash of shock, then a jolt went through his body, his eyes widened to their limit as if he’d seen a ghost, staring at Xu Yang.

Gulp!

"Are you the Xu Yang who recently shook the Spirit Realm?"

"Unless there’s someone else with the same name, it should be me." Xu Yang smiled faintly. Made waves in the realm?

Well, thinking about it, that made sense!

Such a big uproar, coupled with the secret realm’s mystical tree, was enough to spread throughout the Spirit Realm.

The guard swallowed hard, looking at Xu Yang with awe and respect, then hurriedly said: "Mr. Xu, please come with me."

"Is Mr. Xu visiting an acquaintance or—?"

"I request an audience with your Sect Leader!"

"Sect Leader..."

The guard’s heart pounded, but as a small figure, he dared not overthink it and said with deliberation: "If you wish to see the Sect Leader, Mr. Xu, you may need to wait a bit."

"I’m only a guard assigned to the teleportation array here and can’t make the decision. I must first report this to the elders of the sect and await further instructions."

"This is a temporary base of our Profound Sect in Dongyang City. Mr. Xu can rest here."

"Much obliged."

Xu Yang nodded slightly, not expecting to see the Dongyang Profound Sect’s Sect Leader at once.

If Shi Feng had come, it might be possible.

Of course, he might even be refused!

But whatever happened, he had to give it a try.

Soon after, the guard arranged a guest room for Xu Yang and hurried away to report to Dongyang Profound Sect.

Sitting in the guest room, Xu Yang drifted into idle thoughts and shook his head with a sigh.

All he could do now was wait.

So, he decided to study the Heaven-Crushing Divine Blade technique.

As the War King Family’s peak War King Secret Skill, the might of the Heaven-Crushing Divine Blade was beyond question!

The version he now wielded was just at the initial mastery level.

At true mastery, with a mere thought, heaven and earth would collapse, the blade intent inexhaustible. Within the range of his will, it would be like a domain—there would be no way to escape.

At the same time—

Inside Dongyang Profound Sect.

When he heard Xu Yang had come to visit, Dongyang Profound Sect’s Sect Leader Zuo Shenzong was incredibly surprised.

He immediately recalled his previous secret dealings with Shi Feng.

"Here for the Earth Spirit Milk?"

Zuo Shenzong raised an eyebrow, realizing the Earth Spirit Milk was likely being sought by Shi Feng for Xu Yang, and was extremely important.

Remembering how he had refused Shi Feng earlier, he suddenly felt a bit of regret.

After a moment’s thought, Zuo Shenzong summoned Zuo Guangchen.

His only son and also Dongyang Profound Sect’s top prodigy.

After explaining the situation, Zuo Shenzong said calmly, "What do you think?"

"Give it to him."

Zuo Guangchen didn’t hesitate. "The Earth Spirit Milk is precious, but they don’t want much. We can always cultivate more; if by this we win the favor of Xu Yang, or even earn a favor from Xu Yang and the War King Family, it’s nothing but advantageous!"

"Earlier, when I was attacked, I thought the Five Elements Celestial Realm and Star Nebula Infinite Sea were plotting together behind the scenes, but now it seems the Cloud Dream Soul Sect is mixed up in it too."

"Once the opening of the Ancient Celestial Ruins arrives, I fear a bloody storm is coming!"

"And the War King Family’s moves this time..."

Thinking of what happened outside the War King Family’s secret realm, Zuo Guangchen couldn’t help but smack his lips in awe.

Too insane.

After listening to his son’s analysis, Zuo Shenzong nodded in satisfaction.

"Keep the news of Xu Yang’s arrival secret. Go receive him into the mountain yourself!"

"Understood!"

Zuo Guangchen nodded, his expression full of anticipation.
