After coming out of the Crown Prince Palace,
Xu Nian took Xu Yu and the others back to the Divine River Palace.
As for Leng Yanran, she followed Leng Wuqing and Leng Cangfeng back to the Leng Family.
However, before leaving, Xu Nian had a long conversation with Leng Yanran.
This ti, Leng Yanran did not push Xu Nian away but openly expressed her willingness to be with him.
This made Xu Nian overjoyed.
Nevertheless, Leng Yanran decided to return to the Leng Family first to report the matter to her father.
Leng Wuqing and Leng Cangfeng also agreed with this idea.
By now, they were fully aware of the situation between Leng Yanran and Xu Nian.
Although they also agreed that Leng Yanran should be with Xu Nian,
they needed to report back to their elders.
Ultimately, it was up to the elders to decide.
After all, the matter involved far too many complications.
Xu Nian very much wanted to be with Leng Yanran imdiately.
However, not wanting to put Leng Yanran in a difficult position, he agreed that she should temporarily return to the Leng Family.
He then asked Leng Cangfeng to pass on a ssage.
In three days, he personally would visit the Leng Family Patriarch.
Leng Cangfeng expressed admiration for Xu Nian's actions and assured him that he would deliver the ssage.
As for Xia Bingling, she returned to the Sixth Prince's palace with Xia Qinghe.
Upon realizing that Xu Nian was in love with Leng Yanran, she cried for a long ti, heartbroken.
Yet there was nothing she could do but silently bury her pain deep in her heart.
After all, from the beginning, her affection had been unrequited.
Upon returning to the Divine River Palace, Xu Nian imdiately entered a state of closed-door cultivation.
Because of this battle, he felt signs of a breakthrough in his cultivation once again.
"Boom!"
Xu Nian was sitting cross-legged in the great hall.
A thunderous rumble emanated from within his body.
Spiritual Energy from all around continuously converged into his body.
A terrifying vortex of Spiritual Energy ford.
The Spiritual Energy within the range of the Divine River Palace was all sucked over by Xu Nian's vortex.
As the vortex continuously absorbed Spiritual Energy, the surrounding Spiritual Energy grew increasingly dense.
The Spiritual Energy around him even condensed into a thick mist.
Anyone present would have been astonished.
At this mont, the concentration of Spiritual Energy where Xu Nian was located was undoubtedly twenty tis that of the outside world.
"Rumble!"
The thunderous sound continued to echo within Xu Nian's body.
This rumbling was not actual thunder but the sound of surging qi and blood within his body.
As the Spiritual Energy kept pouring into Xu Nian's body,
the rumbling within him grew louder.
"Boom!"
Finally, the sound was like a hundred thousand thunders exploding simultaneously.
Xu Nian's Body Cultivation broke through to a new realm, reaching the Four-star Body Saint Realm.
With the breakthrough in Xu Nian's Body Cultivation,
his physical body grew once more.
Whether in terms of strength or bodily robustness, Xu Nian felt a significant enhancent.
This filled Xu Nian's heart with imnse joy.
Although the breakthrough in Cultivation Realm did not greatly amplify his strength,
a breakthrough was always better than no breakthrough.
"Body Cultivation has broken through, now it's ti for Spiritual Cultivation," Xu Nian muttered to himself.
He then prepared to close his eyes and attempt to break through his Spiritual Cultivation as well.
"Buzz!"
However, at that mont, a fluctuation transmitted through the air.
The figure of Emperor Ye Tian appeared in the grand hall.
"Uh, Your Majesty, why have you co out?" Xu Nian asked, bewildered by the sudden appearance of the empress.
Logically, Emperor Ye Tian should have been asleep in the mind of his Undying Devouring Sky Beast at this ti.
How could she appear now?
"Boy, you still have the mind to break through your cultivation here? Don't you know that a great disaster is upon you?" Emperor Ye Tian said with a hint of sarcasm as she glanced at Xu Nian.
"A great disaster is upon ?" Xu Nian asked, puzzled.
"Hmph, boy, take a closer look at that Xiahou Chun's storage ring. See what's really inside," Emperor Ye Tian commanded coldly.
Xu Nian was startled.
After he had killed Xiahou Chun, he had casually collected his storage ring.
He had not had a chance to check it yet, but hearing Emperor Ye Tian ntion it,
he imdiately took out Xiahou Chun's storage ring.
Previously, Xu Nian had thought that a storage ring belonging to soone from the Imperial Family would certainly contain extraordinary items.
But he had not anticipated Emperor Ye Tian suddenly taking such great interest in this storage ring.
After retrieving the storage ring, Xu Nian began to examine it.
He then realized that Xiahou Chun's storage ring was much larger than the storage rings he usually obtained.
However, apart from mountains of Gold Coins, so extrely rare Pills, and so peculiar herbs, there was nothing particularly remarkable.
"Boy, look again. Is there a black stone inside this storage ring?" Emperor Ye Tian spoke up.
Xu Nian, upon hearing this, was stunned, then proceeded to thoroughly examine the storage ring.
With this examination, he suddenly found a fist-sized, glossy black stone at the edge of the ring.
And when Xu Nian's Spiritual Sense touched the stone, it was absorbed by the stone.
"Boy, do not touch that stone, and it would be best to throw it away," Emperor Ye Tian said sternly.
"Why? Does this stone have so sort of origin?" Xu Nian asked, visibly astonished.
Emperor Ye Tian looked at Xu Nian with disdain and said, "Truly ignorant. That's not a stone, but the skull of an evil Demon God. If I'm not mistaken, this Demon God might still be alive. And your storage ring is a special kind that can contain living things. As for that Crown Prince's evil Cultivation Technique, it was likely taught to him by this Demon God."
"The skull of a Demon God? The soul of a Demon God?" Xu Nian was startled,
his face showing extre surprise.
A cold sweat broke out on his back.
If it was as Emperor Ye Tian had said,
this was a Demon God's skull, housing a powerful residual soul of a Demon God.
That ant he was carrying a danger with him.
Who knows, perhaps one day the Demon God would suddenly awaken, invade his mind, and take over his Mud Ball Palace.
Then he would completely disappear from this world.
Thinking this, Xu Nian imdiately felt an urge to throw away the storage ring.
"Ha ha, I really didn't expect there to be a Divine Emperor in this small Mortal World."
However, just at that mont, a loud voice resonated in the grand hall.
Xu Nian's face suddenly changed. Could this voice be...
Emperor Ye Tian also furrowed her brow.
It was exactly as she had suspected.
When Xu Nian was putting away the storage ring, she had sensed a strong spiritual fluctuation.
But then when she inspected it, the soul fluctuation had disappeared.
Now that she had exposed it, it had voluntarily revealed itself.
And the fact that the other party had revealed themselves also ant that they were not afraid of her.
"Co out!" Emperor Ye Tian said with a cold snort.
Just as her words fell, a figure in a Black Robe appeared in the grand hall.
