The Golden Sun Pavilion, the largest commercial organization in the world, possessed extraordinary influence and power. Although it was primarily a business organization, its strength could not be underestimated. It maintained an extensive intelligence network and had recruited countless renowned independent cultivators into its ranks.The Su Family was the founder of the Pavilion. Once an ordinary middle-class family, they had risen to the pinnacle through their own efforts.Su Zhao, the Patriarch of the Su Family and the supreme leader of the Golden Sun Pavilion, was a renowned cultivator respected throughout the world.At that moment, he was relaxing in the garden at the front of his residence. He was not alone, as his wife and daughter were accompanying him.Su Ninglin, Su Zhao's wife, was also a top-tier cultivator. She possessed a beautiful face that appeared no older than twenty-five, despite her actual age being well over several hundred years.Their daughter, Su Xianlin, was

One month later.Not only had Wang Chen finished refining his artifact, but he had also successfully broken through to the mid-stage Martial Emperor Realm. Chu Yan had likewise advanced to the same realm, while Yun Xuhua had completely stabilized her cultivation.Now, they were ready to make their next move."Oh? You broke through as well, Chu Yan?" Wang Chen raised an eyebrow."Of course. But I didn't expect you to break through too, considering you spent more time forging artifacts than cultivating.""Well, I was already at the peak of the early stage. Forging artifacts also counts as a form of cultivation. It gave me the enlightenment I needed to finally break through." Wang Chen nodded."Haha, then are we going to attack the Eastern Star Sect now?" Chu Yan clenched his fists, eager for battle."It's still too early. We don't even have the strength to contend with their Sect Master yet. There's no need to rush. We have to understand our limits. There will be plenty of time to take

Although the Starry Sky Sect was the largest sect in the Sun Empire, the Sun Empire itself was merely a small empire. As a result, news of the sect's destruction only spread to neighboring empires and never reached much farther. It wasn't considered significant enough to attract the attention of the larger empires.Because of that, the news never reached the Immortal Gate Sect, one of the greatest sects in the world. The Golden Sun Pavilion, however, maintained an extensive intelligence network, gathering information from every empire where it had established a branch.Now that they had learned the Starry Sky Sect had been destroyed, Ye Ning and Fang Yi were deeply shocked. They knew it was the sect where Wang Chen and Chu Yan belonged.Wang Chen and Chu Yan had saved their lives and had become two of their closest friends.Naturally, they were worried about their safety."I don't know the full details either," Su Xianlin said. "But according to the information I've received, the Star

Wang Chen finished stabilizing his cultivation and upgrading the Rune Formations within his body."Now I can clearly feel it. The Fire Rune inside my body has become far more dominant, and..."He could distinctly sense that the Fire Rune's symbol had undergone a transformation.After absorbing the Star Flame into his Fire Rune, the rune had evolved into a much stronger form, becoming the most dominant of all the runes within his body."Fortunately, there aren't any negative side effects. This Fire Rune hasn't devoured the other runes, so everything is perfectly stable." Wang Chen smiled in satisfaction. "Now I just need to obtain star elements with the other attributes. There are plenty of them in Hazhe Forest, so I should be able to find the other types as well."After putting away all of his equipment, Wang Chen went to meet up with Chu Yan and Yun Xuhua."Haha, Wang Chen, congratulations on breaking through to the Late Martial Emperor Realm!" Chu Yan was quite surprised that Wang C

"Honored young ladies, what a wonderful evening this is. May I have the pleasure of joining you?" Shu Xiang approached them with a gentle smile.As a man, how could he not be captivated by their beauty? Moreover, they were all young women of extraordinary status. If he could win the heart of even one of them, his future would be far more secure.However, his greeting was met with complete silence.None of them replied.None of them even looked at him.The cold reception left him slightly irritated.Fu Yuan stood up."My apologies, Young Master Shu Xiang. Our young ladies wish to be left alone at the moment. Please allow them some peace and quiet.""Ah, I only wanted to chat for a while. If the young ladies are troubled by something, I'd naturally do my best to help." Shu Xiang was unwilling to give up so easily."Young Master Shu, don't make us tell you to leave." Fang Yi fixed him with a sharp glare.Shu Xiang fell silent.His fists clenched slightly as he struggled to suppress his a
