It had been half a month since the incident in the Wuji Mystic Realm happened, and the cultivators gathered nearby gradually dispersed. Qin Jue also removed the barrier that could stop cultivators above the Heaven Stage from approaching.
Although there were not many casualties in the Wuji Mystic Realm this time, the Yin Clan and the Zhou Clan had suffered heavy losses.
This was especially true for the Yin Clan. With the death of their leader among the younger generation, it would be questionable whether they would be able to produce another Supreme Stage expert in the future.
In comparison, although several high-level elders of the Zhou Clan had died, their foundation had not been shaken. As long as Zhou Yuan got stronger, he could still stabilize his position in the six great clans.
What was worth mentioning was that because the Three Major Sects and the Thunder Breeze Sect had not interfered, the Six Great Clans had already reached an agreement to divide Brilliance City between them.
The cultivation resources around Brilliance City were extremely abundant, and the Wei Clan had managed them for several hundred years. Even though the resources were now being divided among the Six Great Clans, each of them still benefited greatly.
However, Qin Jue didnât care. In any case, it had nothing to do with the Xuanyi Mountain Sect.
Inside the main hall of the Xuanyi Mountain Sectâ¦
âSenior Brother, why havenât you broken through yet?â
In half a month, Bai Ye had already eaten five Blood Spirit Fruits, but there were no signs of him breaking through, making Qin Jue rather speechless.
âWhat do you know? Although I have already reached the peak of the Heaven Stage, I have yet to reach perfection. But donât worry, I will definitely break through in two months, and I will definitely not fail.â
Bai Ye pursed his lips and said firmly.
Qin Jue :ââ¦â
Why did this sentence sound so familiar?
It seemed like Bai Ye had said the same thing every time he refined pills.
In fact, Bai Ye wasnât lying this time. He had stayed at the peak Heaven Stage for many years, and the reason why he hadnât broken through was because he had been suppressing it.
As everyone knew, besides needing a good foundation at the beginning of the cultivation, the most important thing for a cultivator was to quickly advance to the Supreme Stage.
Only by stepping into the Supreme Stage could one truly be considered an expert. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the six great clans to possess such tremendous forces.
Therefore, before advancing to the Supreme Stage, Bai Ye had to cultivate himself to the most perfected state. That way, once he broke through, even if he was only at the early-phase of the Supreme Stage, he would absolutely not be underestimated by cultivators of the same realm.
Many cultivators were too anxious when advancing to the Supreme Stage, causing their spirit energy to be insufficient and affecting their foundation.
If that was the case, such cultivators might still be able to become a Supreme Stage expert, but they wouldnât be able to reach the Legendary Stage anymore.
Bai Yeâs goal was not just to become a Supreme Stage expert, so he naturally would not rashly break through.
âRight, I have to attend a Brilliance City banquet in a few days. I might have to leave for a while.â
After thinking for a while, Bai Ye still told Qin Jue about this matter, although Qin Jue probably didnât care.
âBanquet? What banquet?â
Qin Jue was slightly startled.
âYou should know that the Six Great Clans have taken over Brilliance City, right?â
Qin Jue nodded. He knew this.
âTheyâre inviting all of the factions within a five-thousand-kilometer radius to participate in the banquet at Brilliance City, including the Xuanyi Mountain Sect.â
Bai Ye sighed.
âWill it be dangerous?â
Qin Jue frowned.
âItâs just a meeting to get to know each other. What danger could there be?â Bai Ye said indifferently. âWhen the time comes, Iâll bring the Supreme Stage spirit artifact and Tam with me. Even if the Six Great Clans really have any ideas, I can still escape.â
As the sect master of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect, Bai Ye was already familiar with such activities. Moreover, the Six Great Clans had just taken over Brilliance City, so the so-called banquet was just a formality.
âFine.â
Qin Jue was helpless.
With Bai Yeâs current strength and two Supreme Stage spirit artifacts, as long as he wasnât surrounded by more than three Supreme Stage experts, indeed, no one could do anything to him.
âHelp!â
Right at this moment, heart-wrenching screams suddenly sounded from outside, making one shudder.
âWhat is happening?â
Qin Jue frowned and immediately appeared outside the main hall. Then he saw Tam wildly swatting at Zhang Jichen, its tongue accurately landing on Zhang Jichenâs body every time. No matter how Zhang Jichen dodged, he couldnât evade it.
Qin Jue :ââ¦â
âWhatâs going on?â
âStop!â
Bai Ye immediately yelled out.
âMasterâ¦â
Upon seeing Bai Ye, Tam hurriedly retracted its tongue and revealed a fearful expression.
âDidnât I tell you not to lick people casually? If thereâs a next time, Iâll cook and eat you!â
Bai Ye said coldly.
Tam looked down guiltily, afraid to speak.
âMaster, this is the tenth time youâve said something like that in half a month.â
Zhang Jichen wanted to cry but had no tears to shed. Wuwuwu, in the entire Xuanyi Mountain Sect, was there anyone else who was more unfortunate than him?
Bai Ye :ââ¦â
The atmosphere turned awkward.
âJi Chen, have you had any problems with your cultivation recently? I can help guide you.â
Hey, hey, hey, can you not change the topic!
âNo!â
Zhang Jichen wiped the saliva off his mouth and pointed at Tam as he roared, âI want to fight this frog!â
ââ¦â
âAre you sure?â
Bai Ye had a strange expression.
âYes!â
Zhang Jichen said firmly.
âOkay, Iâll allow it.â
Bai Ye grinned.
He had just been planning on testing Tamâs actual combat ability, but he didnât expect someone to immediately come knocking on his door. It was a pity that Zhang Jichen was only at the Earth Stage. Otherwise, he would have been able to put up a better fight.
If Zhang Jichen knew Bai Yeâs current thoughts, who knew what he would think?
âTam, remember to go easy on him.â
Bai Ye transmitted his voice.
No matter what, Zhang Jichen was still his disciple, so he had to take care of him appropriately.
Qin Jueâs face was full of black lines. He didnât expect Zhang Jichen to actually challenge Tam. One was at the Heaven Stage and the other was at the Earth Stage. He didnât need to think to know what Zhang Jichenâs outcome would be.
âYes, Master.â
Tam left sticky saliva in his mouth, looking impatient.
âLetâs begin.â
Bai Ye waved his arm and announced the start of the match.
âWait!â
Zhang Jichen suddenly interrupted Bai Ye.
âAnything else?â
âCan you tell it not to attack myâ¦â
âYour what?â
âYou know!â
Zhang Jichenâs face flushed red.
âOh, I understand.â
Realization dawned on Bai Ye. âTam, donât lick his upper body.â
âWhy, Master?â
Tam was puzzled.
âBecause I said so.â
âYes, Master.â Tam didnât dare disobey.
Before he could finish his sentence, Zhang Jichen suddenly rushed forward and took the initiative to attack!
âUltimate Divine Might Tyrant Fist!â
Zhang Jichen directly used his ultimate move. This was the upgraded version of the Divine Might Tyrant Fist, and was an Earth Stage martial technique. The spirit energy of the user could be instantly increased by three times, causing a critical hit!
Facing Zhang Jichenâs attack, Tam did not dodge. It curled its tongue and dispelled the punch as if it was cotton.
âHow is that possible?â
Before Zhang Jichen could react, he felt a warm sensation behind him. Tam was actually licking his butt!
Are you kidding me!
Is it really licking my butt?!
âAhhh! Iâm going to kill you!â
