The Heavenly Sun Dynasty.
It was boundless and vast, an expanse too enormous to even imagine.
The Heavenly Sun Dynasty was within the sphere of influence of the Supre Sect and governed more than ten territories, each as large as the Heavenly Moon Dynasty.
Under the Heavenly Moon Dynasty, there were many territories akin to the Heavenly Star Dynasty.
One could only imagine how terrifyingly vast the true territory of the Heavenly Sun Dynasty was.
At this ti, within a lush mountain range on a border of the Heavenly Sun Dynasty.
In the middle of a mountain road.
A black carriage moved slowly.
Although the speed of the Big Black Horse pulling thecarriage seed slow, in reality, it could traverse from one mountain to another in just a few breaths.
Inside the carriage.
Ye Yun quietly glanced in a certain direction, a aningful smile appearing on his face.
The silver-robed youth from Tianjige still cultivated in the sa spot, showing no movent.
This was sowhat unexpected to Ye Yun.
After all, it had been almost a month since they had left the Jiangchuan Dynasty and arrived in the Heavenly Sun Dynasty.
The silver-robed youth had not contacted Tianjige all this ti, which left Ye Yun feeling sowhat helpless.
This indirectly showed how mysterious Tianjige was and how they deliberately hid themselves.
Even their own sect mbers wouldn’t contact them casually.
This style was very consistent with that of a behind-the-scenes manipulator.
「This past month.」
By continuously absorbing Divine Soil Spirit Stones, the three juniors of the Dragon God Sect, along with so demon beasts, had successively achieved cultivation breakthroughs.
Jun Moxiao officially entered the First Layer of the Destiny Realm.
Luo Li and Su Wanyi also reached the Nirvana Realm Tenth Level Peak, just half a step away from the Destiny Realm.
Little Cat reached the Ninth Layer of the Nirvana Realm.
Big Black Cat and Mu Qing had not broken through to the next minor realm, but they had reached the peak of the First Level of the Life and Death Realm.
They weren’t far off from breaking through to the next minor realm.
Ye Yun advised them not to rush their breakthroughs but to focus on further tempering themselves. He explained that if cultivation progressed too quickly and comprehension couldn’t keep pace, it would be detrintal.
After all, breaking through from the Life and Death Realm to the Eternal Realm was an incredibly high hurdle.
For ordinary cultivators, overcoming this barrier was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
"Master, please have so tea!"
Mu Qing had boiled hot water, brewed a cup of tea, and offered it to Ye Yun.
Ye Yun accepted the teacup, took a gentle sip, then looked at Mu Qing and asked with a smile, "Have you saved up a lot of tea leaves?"
"Ah!" Mu Qing was caught off guard. She hadn’t expected her Master to ask such a question. Her beautiful face instantly flushed crimson as she replied shyly, "Master, I have indeed saved up quite a few..."
"This tea is extraordinary. Do not touch it unless you reach the Eternal Realm, and be sure to keep your mind clear..." Ye Yun said with a smile.
"Alright, Master, I understand!" Mu Qing nodded, her face still flushed.
Ye Yun then turned his gaze to the distance.
The area thousands of miles ahead had already been sealed off by many people.
Ye Yun smiled faintly, now understanding the situation. So, there are quite a few Nine-leaf Blood Lotuses growing in that valley.
Looking at those crystal-clear Nine-leaf Blood Lotuses, Ye Yun was reminded of when he first subdued the Big Black Cat.
A faint smile touched Ye Yun’s lips as he rembered how miserably the Big Black Horse had tornted the Big Black Cat back then.
A thought stirred in Ye Yun’s mind, and he asked from within the carriage, "Little Black, do you rember the Nine-leaf Blood Lotus?"
"I rember, Master. Why did you suddenly think to ask about that?" Big Black Cat opened its eyes, sounding sowhat surprised.
"In a valley about ten thousand li from here, there’s a patch of Nine-leaf Blood Lotuses, more than ten plants in total..." Ye Yun said with a smile.
"There are that many Nine-leaf Blood Lotuses?!" Big Black Cat was stunned, its face filled with shock.
It had guarded that single Nine-leaf Blood Lotus for so long back then, only to leave it behind when it followed Master.
The Big Black Cat felt a pang of regret.
The Nine-leaf Blood Lotus was an exceptionally rare Immortal Herb, highly beneficial for physical cultivation.
SWISH!
At that mont, a black horse’s tail descended from mid-air, swatting the Big Black Cat flat against the carriage.
"Ouch! Uncle Ma, why are you bullying again?" The Big Black Cat furiously shook itself, scrambled up from the carriage floor, and complained, baring its teeth.
"Bullying you? I call it caring for you!" the Big Black Horse retorted irritably, baring a mouthful of large white teeth.
"Yes, yes, Uncle Ma is caring for —this humble one will etch it into my mory!" The Big Black Cat nodded repeatedly.
After spending so many days with Uncle Ma, it had naturally figured out the horse’s temperant.
In Uncle Ma’s presence, it had to remain humble and low-key, regardless of whether it was in the right or wrong.
"I say, Little Black," the Big Black Horse turned its head and asked with a wide grin, "every ti the Master ntions the Nine-leaf Blood Lotus, you get that look on your face. Spit it out, are you missing your forr master?"
"No, no! In my heart, only the Master is my true master! His kindness to is like a rebirth; he’s like my own flesh and blood!" the Big Black Cat declared emphatically.
"What the hell! How dare you say the Master is like your own flesh and blood!" the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon, standing nearby, roared in anger. It violently thrust out a furry paw and slamd the Big Black Cat flat, like a paper card.
"HAHAHA!" The other little cats nearby burst into laughter.
Even the Xuan Bird perched on the carriage roof couldn’t help but chuckle.
As the saying goes, "calamity cos from the mouth," and this Nine-tailed Spirit Cat was a perfect example.
Its attempt at flattery had clearly backfired.
It served it right.
Ye Yun also laughed. He felt a sense of fond exasperation towards these lively, treasure-like demon beasts.
Still, their company made the journey much more entertaining.
"I was wrong, Master! I shouldn’t have spoken so carelessly!" The Big Black Cat resiliently picked itself up again. Its flattened body quivered and instantly returned to normal.
"Little Black, since you have such feelings about it, you’ll be in charge of gathering all those Nine-leaf Blood Lotuses from ten thousand li away," Ye Yun said with a smile.
"No problem, Master! I guarantee I’ll complete the mission!" the Big Black Cat declared enthusiastically.
As it spoke, it stretched out a fluffy black paw and patted its chest twice.
Little Cat, who was beside it, chuckled but said nothing.
Its intuition told it that the task Master had assigned wouldn’t be simple.
"Little Black, if you do a good job on this task, I’ll reward you with a set of armor..." Ye Yun’s words were astonishing.
What? Complete the task and I’ll get a set of armor?
Hearing this, the Big Black Cat shot up with a WHOOSH, like a monkey whose backside was on fire.
Having been in the Dragon God Sect for so long, it naturally understood the power of the armor Master ntioned.
"Get down! Don’t be so impulsive! Such impudence!" the Big Black Horse huffed, extending its tail to yank the airborne Big Black Cat back down.
"Little Black Boy, go forth boldly! We’ll scout the enemy and beat the drums to cheer you on!" the Dark Snow Cypress Dragon chuckled from the side.
The Big Black Cat blinked, a glimr of understanding in its eyes. Does this an many people are vying for these Nine-leaf Blood Lotuses?
However, it imdiately patted its chest and vowed confidently, "Rest assured, Master! Even if many people are contending for them, I will definitely get those Nine-leaf Blood Lotuses!"
"Mm," Ye Yun nodded with a smile.
This fellow, the Big Black Cat, though sowhat unreliable at tis, never failed to deliver when it truly mattered.
The carriage continued to move forward.
After a while, at a pass leading into a towering mountain range, two cultivators blocked their path.
"This is the Shenluo Restricted Area! All unauthorized personnel, turn back imdiately!" one of the young n, arms crossed and face stern, barked coldly.
