Not long ago, the powerful figures from the Suspended King Sword Sect and the Celestial Demon Domain had all descended upon the Ninefold Celestial Gate.
Ximen Piaopiao was aware of this matter.
Now, upon hearing Ximen Emperor's words, a hint of seriousness appeared on Ximen Piaopiao's face.
In the Azure Sky Domain, there existed four peak Celestial Emperors.
Among the Four Supremes, Azure Absolute Heaven had already transcended the Divine Tribulation. However, due to suppressing his own realm, he remained in the Lower Realm.
There were rumors that if Azure Absolute Heaven had not intentionally suppressed his own cultivation, he would have long since ascended to the Divine Realm.
Knowing the terror of Azure Family's Four Supremes, Ximen Piaopiao did not hesitate at all.
She looked at Ximen Emperor and respectfully nodded, saying, "It is my fault for causing trouble for you, Father!"
After speaking, without any hesitation, Ximen Piaopiao pointed out her finger, and the Sword Technique from the Heavenly Sword Emperor's Twenty-Four Sword Techniques was instantly transmitted into Ximen Emperor's mind.
Although the Heaven-Shocking Twenty-Four Sword Technique was taught to her by Ye Fan, Ye Fan had not bound her from passing on this sword technique.
Thus, Ximen Piaopiao did not hesitate to impart the Heaven-Shocking Twenty-Four Sword Technique to Ximen Emperor.
Feeling the Sword Technique that appeared in his mind, Ximen Emperor sensed it for a moment before opening his eyes and said to Ximen Piaopiao, "I understand now, Piao. You should return and focus on cultivating and studying Xue Wuye's Twenty-Four Sword Techniques! I also need to grasp some essence and spirit as quickly as possible."
"Alright."
Ximen Piaopiao cast a deep glance at Ximen Emperor before directly exiting the Palace, no longer wishing to disturb him.
Inside the Palace, only Ximen Emperor remained.
He slightly closed his eyes, his mind sinking into contemplation as he carefully grasped the essence of the Heaven-Shocking Twenty-Four Sword Technique.
With his thoughts, he continuously evolved the technique in his mind.
The Heavenly Sword Emperor had once traversed the Immortal Realm with the Heaven-Shocking Twenty-Four Sword Technique, and wherever he went, even the strongest Celestial Emperor Realm experts would avoid his edge.
Thus, Ximen Emperor placed immense importance on this technique, diligently studying it.
Before long, within the Palace, Ximen Emperor pointed a finger into the air, suddenly condensing a Sword Light that would make even those of the Celestial Emperor Realm feel a chill.
The Sword Light seemed capable of destroying the entire Palace, but under Ximen Emperor's control, it quietly retracted and vanished from sight.
"Truly worthy of the Thunderous name of Sky-Shattering Sword Emperor Xue Wuye's Twenty-Four Sword Techniques!"
Having practiced Sky-Shattering Sword Emperor Xue Wuye's Twenty-Four Sword Techniques, even Ximen Emperor couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
However, the Heaven-Shocking Twenty-Four Sword Technique was vast and profound; although there were only twenty-four swords, each one was infinitely mysterious and unpredictable, with power that could be incrementally enhanced.
With Ximen Emperor's cultivation and understanding at the Celestial Emperor Realm, mastering it would not be easy.
However, fully comprehending it to the peak level is extremely difficult.
Even with his peak Celestial Emperor Realm cultivation, it would likely take him decades or even longer to achieve this.
Yet, if it is merely about grasping some of its essence and demonstrating the spirit of each sword strike, it is relatively simple for Ximen Emperor.
In a remarkably short time, Ximen Emperor had already evolved the twenty-four swords of the Heaven-Shocking Twenty-Four Sword Technique countless times in his mind.
Each iteration was more exquisite than the last.
After Ximen Piaopiao left, he also began to meticulously study the Heaven-Shocking Twenty-Four Sword Technique.
Although his cultivation was worlds apart from Ximen Emperor's, it cannot be denied that Ximen Piaopiao was indeed a genius in swordsmanship.
Any sword technique could be comprehended and executed by him in a very short time.
Sensing the pressure faced by Ximen Emperor, he too needed to elevate his cultivation and combat power in the shortest time possible.
…………
Time flew by, and within the Morning and Evening Celestial Domain, Ye Fan had been in seclusion for over a month.
During this month, no one from the Morning and Evening Celestial Domain came to disturb him at his residence.
However, many young Heavenly Prodigies from the Morning and Evening Family occasionally visited Ye Fan's residence.
Even the Sword King Prelude had come by a few times.
Ye Fan's reputation in the Morning and Evening Celestial Domain was now quite significant.
Especially when these Heavenly Prodigies learned from the Sword King Prelude that Ye Fan had ascended from the Lower Realm, and that it had been less than a year since his ascension.
Ye Fan's name became even more resounding in the Morning and Evening Celestial Domain.
He was directly regarded as a terrifying prodigy by all the young Heavenly Prodigies in the Morning and Evening Celestial Domain.
Even the older generation of experts and elders in the Morning and Evening Celestial Domain were left speechless.
Having ascended from the Lower Realm, he had reached the early stage of the Celestial Realm in less than a year.
Such a monstrous cultivation speed was truly astonishing.
Moreover, it was said that this young man had also spent a very short time cultivating in the Lower Realm.
Yet, before his ascension, he had already become the Uncrowned King of the Lower Realm, an existence unmatched by anyone.
Even before ascending, he possessed extraordinary combat strength, capable of slaying immortals and driving back early-stage Celestial Realm experts.
Previously, at the Famous Sword Festival in Famous Sword City, he had faced Wenshan Zhensong, a peak Mystic Immortal Realm expert, with his peak Ascension Realm cultivation effortlessly.
As Cultivation broke through from the peak of the Ascension Realm to the Celestial Realm, Wenshan Zhensong found himself unable to withstand a single strike from him.
Upon arriving at the Morning and Evening Celestial Domain, he decisively defeated countless Heavenly Prodigies of that realm.
Even against Morning and Evening Fengyan and Morning and Evening Zhaodong, who were both in the early stages of the Celestial Mansion Realm, he fought them to a standstill.
Such a Monster of a Person sparked immense curiosity among them. After this prodigy emerged from seclusion, how powerful would he become? What level would his combat prowess reach?
As usual, today outside Ye Fan's residence, many young Heavenly Prodigies from the Morning and Evening Family habitually gathered there.
However, they did not rush into Ye Fan's home; instead, they stood outside, gazing in from a distance.
Among these Heavenly Prodigies were Morning and Evening Fengyan and Morning and Evening Zhaodong.
Morning and Evening Fengyan looked towards Ye Fan's residence and said, "It's been over a month of seclusion now, and he still hasn't come out. I wonder how much stronger Brother Ye Fan will be after he emerges."
A hint of solemnity appeared on Morning and Evening Zhaodong's face as he replied, "Although a month isn't too long, given Brother Ye Fan's extraordinary talent, his strength must have improved significantly. I definitely want to challenge him when he comes out."
Morning and Evening Fengyan nodded deeply, his eyes filled with fighting spirit. "Indeed. It's quite embarrassing that we from the Celestial Mansion Realm, with our Cultivation, can't even defeat someone like Brother Ye Fan who is just at the Celestial Realm. When he comes out, I must have a good match with him."
"Talk is cheap, Brother Fengyan, Chao Dong. Do you really think you can beat him?"
Hearing this, Morning and Evening Fengyan, Morning and Evening Zhaodong, along with several other young Heavenly Prodigies from the Morning and Evening Family, turned to see Morning Twilight Yan Yu, dressed in a pink robe, pouting playfully as she approached with a smile.
Upon hearing her words, both Morning and Evening Fengyan and Morning and Evening Zhaodong exchanged glances, feeling somewhat speechless. They shot a glare at Morning Twilight Yan Yu. "Sister Yan Yu, are you here to mock us again?"
Since they had fought to a standstill against Ye Fan with their initial strength in the Celestial Mansion Realm, Morning Twilight Yan Yu had not missed an opportunity to tease the two of them about it.
It was quite embarrassing!
Although Morning and Evening Zhaodong and Morning and Evening Fengyan had not been in seclusion for over a month, they had not been idle either. They had been diligently cultivating and felt that their strength had improved.
Thus, they were eager for a rematch with Ye Fan; they had to reclaim their honor.
Otherwise, how could they hold their heads high in the Morning and Evening Celestial Domain in the future?
Creak!
Just as everyone was discussing, Ye Fan's door suddenly swung open.
After over a month in seclusion, Ye Fan stretched lazily as he stepped out of his room, momentarily taken aback. He looked at the crowd outside and asked, "Uh, everyone, how did you know I was coming out today? This is...?"
"You're out of seclusion?"
The people outside Ye Fan's room were also stunned for a moment, then began to scrutinize him closely.
"His aura is restrained; he's hiding it too well... Damn, what kind of cultivation has he achieved? I can't tell at all!"
At this moment, Ye Fan concealed his aura with remarkable skill. Not only could the young Heavenly Prodigies of the Morning and Evening Family not discern it, but even Celestial Kings and Celestial Sovereigns would find it difficult to see through.
"Brother Ye Fan, you're out of seclusion?" Morning and Evening Fengyan said, his eyes shining brightly as he looked at Ye Fan.
"Ah, yes, I've come out! What about you?" Ye Fan nodded and asked again.
Morning and Evening Zhaodong replied, "Brother Ye Fan, after more than a month of seclusion, how has your strength improved?"
"How has my strength improved?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan took a deep look at Morning and Evening Fengyan and Morning and Evening Zhaodong.
Well, it seems the newcomers are not friendly!
Sensing the fighting spirit in their eyes, Ye Fan realized that these two clearly wanted to spar with him.
However...
Although it had only been a month of seclusion, given Ye Fan's cultivation speed and the abundance of high-quality Celestial Stones supporting him, he was confident.
Now, while Morning and Evening Fengyan and Morning and Evening Zhaodong were at the early stage of the Celestial Mansion Realm in terms of cultivation, he doubted they would pose much of a challenge.
Thus, Ye Fan smiled lightly and looked at Morning and Evening Fengyan and Morning and Evening Zhaodong with a teasing gaze. "I suppose I've made a slight improvement!"
"A slight improvement? Just how much is that?" Morning and Evening Fengyan and Morning and Evening Zhaodong responded somewhat speechlessly.
"Just a little bit," Ye Fan replied with a smile.
Morning Twilight Yan Yu pouted from the side. "Brother Fengyan, Chao Dong, if you want to challenge Brother Ye Fan, just say so directly. Why beat around the bush? Are you afraid that Brother Ye Fan's strength has improved too much and you'll end up embarrassed this time?"
"Uh!"
Morning and Evening Fengyan and Morning and Evening Zhaodong were momentarily speechless at the words of Morning Twilight Yan Yu, a hint of embarrassment appearing on their faces.
"Brother Ye Fan," Morning and Evening Fengyan said, "since you've emerged from seclusion, how about we give it another try?"
"Yeah, let's give it a shot?" Morning and Evening Zhaodong added.
They were genuinely curious about how much Ye Fan's strength had increased after more than a month in seclusion.
The other Heavenly Prodigies from the Morning and Evening Family, eager for chaos, began to stir up excitement.
"Alright, let's try it," Ye Fan replied without hesitation, a smile on his face. "You can make your move!"
"Uh..."
Hearing this, Morning and Evening Fengyan and Morning and Evening Zhaodong exchanged glances, feeling somewhat at a loss. Did Ye Fan mean for them to attack together?
And he wanted them to go first!
Wasn't that a bit too arrogant?
Thus, Morning and Evening Fengyan said, "Brother Ye Fan, we are at the Celestial Mansion Realm in our cultivation, while you are only at the Celestial Realm. How about you go first?"
"Oh, is that how it is?" Ye Fan nodded. "That makes sense. Then I won't hold back!"
With that, Ye Fan stepped forward, his hands clasped behind him. In an instant, the wind began to swirl violently, and a terrifying Gale formed a storm centered around Ye Fan. The force of the Gale surged forth, wreaking havoc in its wake.
“Boom! Boom!!”
As Ye Fan passed by Morning and Evening Fengyan and Morning and Evening Zhaodong, the two were instantly sent flying like cannonballs, their bodies violently propelled away.
When the wind settled and the clouds dispersed, Ye Fan's figure was already far in the distance, striding away.
Only Morning and Evening Fengyan, Morning and Evening Zhaodong, Morning Twilight Yan Yu, and a group of young Heavenly Prodigies from the Morning and Evening Family remained standing there, disheveled in the aftermath of the storm.
“Goodness... can someone tell me what kind of monstrous strength this guy has right now?”
After a long moment, Morning and Evening Fengyan and Morning and Evening Zhaodong stared blankly at Ye Fan's retreating figure. They couldn't help but gasp in shock, their frustration spilling over into curses.
Earlier, when Ye Fan had let them take the first move, they had been overly confident, believing that their cultivation in the Celestial Mansion Realm far surpassed Ye Fan's.
But what was the result?
He hadn’t even made a move; he merely walked past them, and the Gale he created had sent these two Celestial Mansion Realm experts flying.
“Damn it, what a freak!”
Thinking back on it, both Morning and Evening Fengyan and Morning and Evening Zhaodong couldn't help but mutter in disbelief.
The other Heavenly Prodigies from the Morning and Evening Family and Morning Twilight Yan Yu were equally at a loss for words.
After Ye Fan left, he went straight to Curtain Melody's residence.
As he approached the Palace of Curtain Melody, she had already stepped out from within.
With her long hair styled elegantly and standing tall, she looked at Ye Fan and asked, "Have you broken through?"
Ye Fan smiled and nodded. "Yes, I have."
"What is your current realm?" Like the Heavenly Prodigies from the Morning and Evening Family, Curtain Melody was equally curious about what realm Ye Fan had reached after more than a month of seclusion.
Ye Fan replied, "I'm still in the Celestial Realm, but I've reached the Celestial Peak."
"Wow..."
Behind Ye Fan, Morning and Evening Fengyan and Morning and Evening Zhaodong, who had just arrived, happened to overhear his words and couldn't help but curse out loud.
Even Curtain Melody's cold brows twitched upon hearing Ye Fan's statement.
Her gaze towards Ye Fan was as if she were looking at a monster.
In just over a month of seclusion, he had gone from the early stage of Celestial Being to the peak of the Celestial Realm?
What if he secluded himself for a year or ten years?
Wouldn't he reach the level of Celestial Emperor?
Silence reigned, an unbroken stillness.
Morning Twilight Yan Yu, with a face full of admiration and reverence, exclaimed, "No wonder Brother Ye Fan was able to send Brother Fengyan and Chao Dong flying just by his presence; he has broken through to Celestial Peak."
"When Brother Ye Fan was at the early stage of Celestial Being, he could already hold his own against Brother Fengyan and Chao Dong. Now that he has reached Celestial Peak, doesn’t that mean that the experts of the Celestial Mansion Realm are no longer his opponents?"
The thought that the strong from the Celestial Mansion Realm were no match for Ye Fan?
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze instinctively turned to Morning Twilight Yan Yu.
It felt as if her assertion was a bit too bold.
In the celestial realm, the Celestial Mansion Realm was considered powerful anywhere it appeared.
If even those from the Celestial Mansion Realm were not opponents, then did that imply that Ye Fan's current combat strength could withstand the might of those in the Celestial King Realm?
How could that be possible?
Was there really such a monstrous Celestial Being?
Ye Fan shook his head lightly and smiled wryly. "Miss Yan Yu, what you say is a bit exaggerated."
"Every advancement in cultivation is quite difficult, and the power gap between each realm is significant. Moreover, this gap only widens as one ascends in rank. At most, I should be at the mid-stage of the Celestial Mansion Realm right now!"
Of course, Ye Fan was being modest.
However, upon hearing this, the Sword King Prelude and others nodded in agreement.
Yet, Ye Fan mentioned that advancing to each realm was quite difficult, and the power gap between each realm was substantial.
But for him, was it really that hard to advance?
It didn't seem so!
Moreover, for him, battling across realms was incredibly easy; the power gap between each realm seemed insignificant!
"Ha..."
Curtain Melody felt that Ye Fan's abnormality had somewhat overturned her understanding of cultivation. She took a deep breath and asked, "So, what do you want from me?"
Ye Fan's expression turned serious as he said, "Cultivation is not about isolating oneself. While occasional seclusion may lead to some advancement in realms, it's a poor strategy. One must temper themselves through life-and-death experiences and adventures; only then can their realm become more solidified and their understanding of cultivation accelerate."
"Therefore, I want to leave the Morning and Evening Celestial Domain for a while and venture into the outside world."
In Ye Fan's view, with his current strength comparable to the Celestial Mansion Realm, combined with the changes brought by Formless and Indistinct and Bone Forging that altered his appearance and aura, as long as he remained cautious, he should be safe.
As long as he didn't encounter any Celestial Kings or stronger beings, he would be able to handle it.
However, just as his voice fell, a somewhat serious voice followed.
"Currently, the outside world is full of turmoil. Although your strength has greatly increased, what does being at the Celestial Mansion Realm really mean? Han Er, please explain to him everything that has happened in the outside world recently."
The mother of Curtain Melody, the figure of Morning Dusk Autumn, suddenly appeared before Ye Fan and the others.
Clearly, she was quite concerned about Ye Fan, the mistress of the Morning and Evening Celestial Domain.
Seeing her arrival, Ye Fan quickly cupped his fists in greeting.
Then he turned his gaze to Curtain Melody, who said, "I had gone out for a while and just returned not long ago."
Curtain Melody continued, "According to the news I received, Ximen Piaopiao has already exposed the Heaven-Shocking Twenty-Four Sword Technique in the Immortal Realm, diverting trouble and successfully drawing the attention of various forces in the Immortal Realm to him and the Ninefold Celestial Gate."
"Not long ago, powerful figures from the Suspended King Sword Sect and the Celestial Demon Domain all converged on the Ninefold Celestial Gate."
"I also heard that one of the Azure Family's Four Supremes from the Azure Sky Domain, Qing Jue Shi, has also come out of seclusion and personally visited the Ninefold Celestial Gate. It is said that he even clashed with Ximen Emperor of the Ninefold Celestial Gate before leaving."
"The Azure Sky Domain?"
A flicker of surprise crossed Ye Fan's eyes. While he was moved by Ximen Piaopiao's actions, he felt that the name 'Azure Sky Domain' seemed somewhat familiar.
Curtain Melody, having learned about what happened to Ye Fan in the Lower Realm, could easily perceive his confusion and explained, "The Azure Wave Celestial Kingdom in your Lower Realm is a legacy left by the Qing Family of the Azure Sky Domain."
"I see." Upon hearing this, Ye Fan instantly understood why it felt familiar.
He had not expected that the Azure Wave Celestial Kingdom in the Lower Realm actually had a presence in the Upper Realm similar to that of the Ninefold Celestial Gate and Suspended King Sword Sect.
Moreover, based on what Curtain Melody said, it seemed highly likely that it was at an Overlord level as well.
"Curtain Melody" continued, "The Azure Sky Domain is currently unaware that you have destroyed their foundation in the Lower Realm. If they find out, there may no longer be a place for you, Ye Fan, in the entire Immortal Realm."
"Is the Azure Sky Domain very strong?" Ye Fan asked.
"Very strong." This time, it was not Curtain Melody who answered, but Morning Dusk Autumn. A hint of coldness flickered in her eyes as she said, "The Azure Family's Four Supremes are all exceptionally talented and possess overwhelming strength. They are not only at the peak of the Celestial Emperor Realm in cultivation, but their combat power at this level is also terrifyingly unmatched."
"Especially Azure Absolute Heaven from the Qing Family. He transcended the Divine Tribulation a hundred years ago but has yet to ascend to the Upper Realm. It is unimaginable how strong his combat power must be now."
"Do you know why our Morning and Evening Family is hiding here?" Suddenly, Morning Dusk Autumn turned her gaze toward Ye Fan.
A hint of confusion appeared in Ye Fan's eyes as Morning Dusk Autumn continued coldly, "Because Snowless Night was once besieged by the Azure Family's Four Supremes. If it weren't for Snowless Night fighting desperately to carve out a bloody path for us to escape, our family would have long been destroyed by the Azure Family's Four Supremes."
"Even so, our Morning and Evening Family is still barely surviving, afraid to show ourselves in the Immortal Realm," Morning Dusk Autumn said. "Therefore, since Qing Jue Shi has come out of the Azure Sky Domain, it won't be long before the Qing Family learns about what has happened in the Lower Realm. They will soon know about everything you have done there."
"With the Qing Family's dominance, they will likely want Snowless Night's Heaven-Shocking Twenty-Four Sword Technique and your life as well. So until your strength reaches a certain level, I cannot allow you to go out. If anything happens to you, it concerns the safety of my family."
Morning Dusk Autumn was not worried that Ye Fan would reveal their hidden location if captured by the Qing Family; rather, she valued Ye Fan's potential and wanted to keep him within the Morning and Evening Family.
However, Ye Fan furrowed his brow tightly and said, "If that's the case, then I really must leave."
He was somewhat concerned about Wuma Xian'er, Nangong Xuandie, and others.
What if the Qing Family couldn't find him and unleashed their wrath on his loved ones instead?
Who could withstand that?
If something were to happen to them, Ye Fan would undoubtedly regret it deeply.
"Are you worried about those beautiful acquaintances of yours in the Lower Realm?" Curtain Melody's expression turned slightly cold as she said, "You can rest assured. I heard that the Ninefold Celestial Gate has already sent a powerful presence to the Lower Realm under the arrangements of your brother, Ximen Piaopiao."
"And it is said that a significant amount of effort and wealth was expended to send a peak disciple from the Celestial Realm."
Morning Dusk Autumn's demeanor was imposing as he glanced at Ye Fan with an air of indifference. In a tone that brooked no refusal, he said, "The Ninefold Celestial Gate is currently able to hold its ground in the outside world, so you need not worry. Just focus on cultivating well in my Morning and Evening Celestial Domain for the next twenty years!"
"Twenty years will pass quickly, just like a snap of the fingers."
