"Where's Senior Envoy?" Jiao Xuanbing asked Jiao Zhenhai a month after they began preparing for war.
"He's in seclusion."
"Are you sure he'll even be of any help? He's only at the peak of Divine Emperor…" Jiao Binglan said, expressing her doubts. "And for the record, I still don't believe he managed to defeat the First Elder."
Jiao Zhenhai looked at his foolish daughter and said, "I didn't mention this, but it was he who killed the Second Elder. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be standing here right now."
"What?! He killed the Second Elder, who is the strongest amongst the Three Elders?!"
The others from the Azure Dragon Clan expressed shock and bewilderment after learning of this.
"Binglan, you need to start respecting him, or you'll come to regret it later," Jiao Xuanbing said to her. "Your hate is unreasonable in the first place. He didn't do anything to offend you, and he's helped our clan tremendously. If it weren't for him, the Three Elders would've continued to stab us in the back."
"That's…" Jiao Binglan fell silent.
Suddenly, someone rushed into the room and shouted, "We've spotted the Mystic Sea Dragon Clan! They'll arrive in our territory in two weeks!"
"How many people do they have?" Jiao Zhenhai questioned.
"Around fifty thousand!"
"They only brought a fourth of their forces? These bastards are underestimating us a little too much!" Jiao Zhenhai gritted his teeth in frustration.
Yet, he didn't dare to underestimate their opponents. The Mystic Sea Dragon Clan was a royal bloodline just like them, after all.
At the same time, Yuan had just finished absorbing the Tear of the Azure Heavens.
<Progress: 100%>
<Your Harmonious Heaven Refining Immortal Physique has successfully merged with Cold Immunity>
<Harmonious Heaven Refining Immortal Physique(Incomplete) has evolved to Harmonious Heaven Refining Immortal Physique(Completed)>
BOOM!
The moment Yuan completed his Harmonious Heaven Refining Immortal Physique, the bottleneck that kept him at the peak of Divine Emperor shattered, and his cultivation began soaring to the next level.
<You have reached First Level Divine Sovereign>
<You have reached Fifth Level Divine Sovereign>
<You have reached Ninth Level Divine Sovereign>
<You have reached First Level Divine Ancestor>
<...>
In the blink of an eye, Yuan's cultivation surged to the peak of the Divine Ancestor Realm, just a single step away from Immortal Ascension.
However, entering the Immortal Ascension Realm wasn't as simple as accumulating enough spiritual energy. A cultivator needed exceptional Soul Strength and, more importantly, profound insight into the nature of cultivation itself.
This was the barrier that trapped countless experts at the Divine Ancestor level.
Of course, Yuan was no ordinary cultivator. His Soul Strength already rivaled, if not surpassed, that of Immortals, and with the vast experience and insight he'd accumulated from his past lives, he only needed to attempt entering it… No, he could enter Immortal Ascension even in his sleep.
