There is still no news about the Heaven-Reaching Tree.

However, with his current strength, delaying the decline of the Human Realm is still not a problem.

Even... If the Primordial Realm is big enough, it wouldn’t be impossible to bring everyone from the Lower Realm to the Primordial Realm.

"Almost..."

.....

Time flew by, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

In the study.

In cultivation, Chen Xuan frowned.

"Break!"

A burst of shout in his heart, and the next moment, with a ’pop’ within his body, he finally cultivated the third aperture.

"Hoo—"

Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

During this time, the Spiritual Liquid remained at the bottom of the lake in Xiaoyuan. Relying on himself, he finally opened the third aperture.

"It’s just too slow."

He was very dissatisfied; the third aperture was already faintly discernible, but it still took half a month to open it.

The apertures after that... He even dreaded thinking about it.

"It can’t continue like this; the Spiritual Liquid needs to return to the Dantian."

Without its assistance, the speed is too slow.

Besides, it’s been half a month; it should be almost recovered, even if it hasn’t, it will be like this.

Then he summoned the system.

...

[Jade Bones: Seventh Grade (52%)]

[Sacred Body: (3/108)]

[Talents: Concealment, Evolution]

[Spirit Body: Origin Dao Body]

[Realm: Martial Cultivator: Dao Realm (Fifth Level), Spirit Cultivator: Dao Stage (Fifth Level)]

[Cultivation Technique: Nine Elements Dao Skill (Dao Grade) (Seventeen Layers (2.36 billion/7.2 billion)), Myriad Manifestation Skill (Twenty Layers (312 million/8.32 billion))]

[Skill Points: 7.468 billion]

...

"Huh?"

Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow; the progress after Jade Bones unexpectedly went from the original 50% to 52%!

Could it be that the improvement of Jade Bones relates to the apertures?

Chen Xuan pondered in his heart.

The apertures require the energy of Jade Bones to open, conversely, opening an aperture also nourishes the Jade Bones!

"Is it like this?"

Chen Xuan speculated within his heart.

He should go and ask Elder Zhan.

After all, in all of Great Yu, only Zhan Tian has cultivated over thirty apertures of the Sacred Body, which makes him the most knowledgeable in this aspect.

Putting his thoughts aside, his gaze once again focused on the panel.

This time, Jade Bones brought him a significant improvement; after his Spirit Body upgraded to Origin Dao Body, his cultivation speed elevated another notch.

But this talent evolution, he hasn’t attempted it yet.

"Deduce everything?"

Chen Xuan muttered to himself, then inexplicably took out the box left by Marquis Ning from his bosom.

"Evolution!"

In an instant, the scene in his eyes changed.

A young man dressed in a purple robe stood in midair, a black long arrow piercing his chest.

Blood dripped drop by drop from the arrow from the sky.

Yet, even so, his expression showed no fear, instead, his eyes looked disappointed in one direction.

The next moment, Marquis Ning spoke.

But the scene was soundless, yet based on his expression and the final slightly closed eyes, it was clear his mood had hit rock bottom.

Suddenly!

Marquis Ning pulled out the arrow from his chest and threw it towards the opposite side, and the next moment, his aura exploded.

His long hair wildly danced in the air.

Instantly!

One after another of Spiritual Beasts appeared!

Nine in total!

Subsequently, the scene in Chen Xuan’s eyes changed, Marquis Ning’s opposite view slowly emerged.

The Southern King!

And... that was Qin Tiandao’s Fifth Elder!

"Qin Tiandao was involved in Marquis Ning’s matter too?"

Chen Xuan’s expression tightened, unexpectedly even as the Eldest Prince, he did such a thing.

It’s not right!

Weren’t there claims that the Southern King wanted to silence the Ning Family, but it was Qin Tiandao’s intervention that saved the Ning Family?

"Hehe!"

Chen Xuan suddenly sneered, what a righteous Eldest Prince he was!

Engaging in such deeds, yet acting as a good person!

As the scene expanded, more and more figures appeared, and Chen Xuan finally saw Qin Tiandao’s figure in a corner, but as the scene expanded once again.... the scene suddenly shattered.

Chen Xuan’s face visibly turned pale.

"What?"

His Spiritual Power was entirely exhausted!

In so short a time, his sea of consciousness’ Spiritual Power was completely drained, and his Divine Soul became languished.

"This talent really consumes too much Spiritual Power!"

Chen Xuan shook his head with a bitter smile. His Spiritual Power was not weaker than a Dao Stage Six-Level, yet he only lasted a moment.

However, he didn’t care about this at the moment because at the instant the scene shattered, he saw a silhouette again, very familiar, seeming to have seen it somewhere, but for now, he couldn’t recall. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Who could it be?"

Chen Xuan muttered, the person did not directly participate in the besiege of Marquis Ning but stood by Qin Tiandao’s side, seemingly with not very high status.

He knows few people in Great Yu.

Not very high status, he still knows... "Who is it?"

"Hmm..."

In his thoughts, his sea of consciousness began to ache intensely, which made Chen Xuan not dare think further, quickly operating Myriad Manifestation Skill, starting to recover Spiritual Power.

An hour later.

Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes, exhaling lightly.

The discomfort feeling finally vanished.

But his Spiritual Power had only barely recovered over a tenth.

His gaze fell once again on the box.

"Qin Tiandao should have been after it, right?"

With his status, he shouldn’t covet the Ten Thousand Beasts Technique; after all, as the Eldest Prince, what kind of techniques wouldn’t he have?

The only explanation is for this.

What secret is hidden within it, and what inside makes Qin Tiandao so tempted?
