After taking all the treasures inside the vault, Ye Yuan descended to the first floor. Standing before the door for a few moments, it opened on its own, and Ye Yuan leisurely stepped out.Outside, Elder Wang Dong was still reclining comfortably on his rocking chair. He didn’t even glance in Ye Yuan’s direction when the door opened and Ye Yuan walked out. At the same time, the vault door shut behind him, and its seals automatically reactivated.“How was it, young master? Did you get what you wanted?” Elder Wang Dong cast a side glance at Ye Yuan, trying to sense something from the young man.He didn’t sense anything unusual—only the faint Dao of Fire lingering around Ye Yuan’s body, proving that Ye Yuan had indeed gone up to the third floor.Wang Dong harbored no suspicion at all, since Ye Yuan behaved normally, and he had exited as he should have, not expelled by the vault’s protective formation.“I’ve already got it.” Ye Yuan nodded with a wide, enthusiastic smile. A perfectly ordina

“Then, did you enjoy the fireworks?”Lan Han and Lan Jia Yu were somewhat confused about how to respond. Did they enjoy it? Rather than enjoying it, they were more afraid. An explosion capable of killing someone at the Dao Realm was truly terrifying.“Yes, it looked incredibly magnificent.”“It was the most splendid firework I’ve ever seen.”Even though they were frightened, they still praised the fireworks—or perhaps they themselves would become the fuel for the next one.“In that case, we’ll part ways here. Lan Han, Lan Jia Yu, from now on you will begin your true journey in the immortal realm.” Ye Yuan smiled faintly after hearing their answers, then shifted the topic.“Yes, even though we share the same destination after this, we don’t want to keep relying on Senior. My sister and I can only offer our thanks for now, but in the future, if we meet again, we will surely express our gratitude in a more fitting way.”Lan Han and Lan Jia Yu had nothing to offer at the moment, so they c

Qing Mu City, a city on the Eastern Border, was known as a free city. Anyone could enter—demonic cultivators, high-profile fugitives, and cultivators of all kinds—as long as they paid the proper price.Although many demonic cultivators frequented this city, plenty of righteous path cultivators came as well. That was because demonic cultivators often sold their looted treasures here, making it a place where many rare and valuable items could be obtained.Righteous path cultivators—despite the name—did not always live up to their so-called righteousness.They knew very well that this city was full of stolen goods taken by demonic cultivators through robbery, murder, and worse. Yet they still came, not to return those treasures to their rightful owners, but to claim them for themselves.Ye Yuan and Liu Tingyun had now entered Qing Mu City. Their purpose was to sell the items they had acquired from the Wang Family’s treasure vault, purchase the supplies they needed, and at the same time,

Hong Yingli encountered Zhao Ling’er, who said something that left her puzzled.Hong Yingli was not from the Long Hu World—she came from another world, arriving here with a certain purpose.“Reincarnation? Explain what you mean.” Hong Yingli stepped closer.“I can explain, but first, what about this man? May I kill him?” Zhao Ling’er glanced at Hun Chou, who was still lying on the ground in fear.With Hong Yingli present—a cultivator of the Dao Realm—he, as a mere True Phase cultivator, did not dare to make a move.“Please forgive me... I’ll do anything as long as you spare my life.” Hun Chou could only beg for mercy.“I was meditating earlier, but then some bandits came to bother me. I killed them all, and from them I learned that their leader knows something I’m looking for. So, I came here to find him. Luckily, I arrived in time before you killed him.” Hong Yingli looked at Hun Chou.“Senior! I’ll answer all your questions, but please help me kill that woman! She slaughtered all my

Qing Mu City was a free city that anyone could enter, regardless of their background or identity. As long as they had enough money to pay the entrance fee, they were allowed in.But Qing Mu City wasn’t the only one of its kind—there were many such cities across every World.Ye Yuan and Liu Tingyun had secluded themselves in a room for nearly two weeks, refining artifacts and concocting poisons.“Do you feel close to breaking through, Yun’er?”“Don’t worry about me. Breaking through to the Dao Realm isn’t a big problem; it’s only a matter of time. You should be more concerned about yourself. Cultivating so many Daos at once will make your breakthrough to the Dao Realm much harder.” Liu Tingyun possessed the Hell Poison Body and a vast knowledge of poisons.Mastering the Dao of Poison and stepping into the Dao Realm would not pose much of a challenge for her. Ye Yuan, on the other hand, wasn’t just walking down a new path—he was adding new ones along the way.In the past, he had cultiva
