Transcending the Nine Heavens

Although the two managed to escape unscathed this time, the process of fleeing required continuous use of aerial maneuvers. In the final stretch, they forcefully employed secret techniques to accelerate their escape, resulting in an enormous consumption of vital energy, even greater than that from several intense battles. The recovery would be extremely difficult, not to mention that multiple unforeseen circumstances had left their mental states slightly flawed. The hope of breaking through their original bottleneck to reach the realm of supreme ninth rank absolute pinnacle seemed utterly bleak…

Miao Zhendong was stunned, wanting to cry yet having no tears.

At first, he had discovered anomalies and thought they were getting heavenly materials and earthly treasures, excitedly heading out to gather treasures, only to end up with a complete defeat; both of them had become like stray dogs in their flight… It turned out this was not even the worst outcome.

Paralyzed, the real worst was still ahead; the enemy had actually used the battle to hunt them as training to break through to ninth rank supreme…

Could there be anything more frustrating and devastating than this?

If Young Master Wei knew how they felt, he would surely spit in disdain: “Pah! Of course there is! If it weren't for you bunch of freaks causing trouble, I would have broken through the limits of eighth grade supreme long ago. And if it weren’t for this sudden breakthrough, do you think you two loose fish could escape unscathed? People should learn to be grateful…”

“Let’s hurry and leave! He just broke through and will need to stabilize his realm, but this process may not take long—at most a day or so.” The Second Protector said, “From my observation of this creature, its grudge-holding mentality is extremely terrifying. Once it completes its breakthrough, it will surely come to trouble us. Let’s send a message to the others so they can rush to our aid; we shouldn't take any more detours. We should head northwest directly, the faster the better. There are many experts there, and only once we arrive will we truly be safe.”

“Exactly, exactly, let’s go, let’s go.” Miao Zhendong nodded repeatedly, “If that treasure really goes there, we can gather everyone’s strength to kill it. Even if we get a little less share, I won’t believe it can still be that sharp after leaving this strange forest…”

“Brother, you are my real brother, right? Just show a little mercy. Don't think about killing it… It’s already at ninth rank…” The Second Protector was speechless, “Quickly shield your spiritual perception and let’s leave.”

The two quickened their pace, disappearing without a trace with a ‘whoosh.’

A day and a half later.

Outside the Vast Wilderness Forest, “whoosh,” a tall figure emerged; dressed in blue, with a calm and gentle expression, standing tall and naturally exuding a quality of easy grace.

The visitor was Young Master Wei.

He discerned his direction and decisively set off, focused solely on one destination: only northwest!

Chu Yang, I’m coming. I wonder if you still remember the promise we made three days ago in the Central Capital?

That was the biggest hope of my elven clan…

The greatest wish!

Here comes the supreme ninth rank, peerless powerhouse, Young Master Wei!

…

In the Ye Family.

Ye Chenchen was sitting quietly in the hall with his eyes closed, meditating. Suddenly, someone rushed in to report: “Reporting, Ancestor, the eldest young master has suddenly gone missing. Just now, I went to bring him food, but found the door wide open; I don’t know where he went…”

Ye Chenchen sighed: “Don’t worry about him. Just keep an eye on the house.”

After the servant retreated, Ye Chenchen slowly opened his eyes. His expression was extremely complicated.

How could he not know about Ye Zui’s departure? All of Ye Zui’s movements were under his spiritual perception; last night, when Ye Zui desperately broke the restrictions to escape, Ye Chenchen did not intervene.
