A wasted cultivation cultivator, whose senior sister comes to his door asking for pills at the start

Compared to his previous two seclusions, Ye Yun's seclusion this time lasted significantly longer.

Of course, the gains were also much greater.

When Ye Yun emerged from seclusion, his cultivation level had risen from the seventh level of the Imperial Dao to the peak of the Imperial Dao.

Inside the cultivation room, Ye Yun slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them.

"It's done!"

Ye Yun was thrilled, even happier than when he broke through to a higher realm before.

After all, he is now only one step away from reaching the highest Emperor rank.

Once this hurdle is overcome, one will officially become a pinnacle existence on the continent.

In this situation, who wouldn't be excited?

"Next, it's time to pursue the opportunity to become an emperor."

From the peak of the Imperial Path to the Emperor Rank, this short realm is a hurdle that countless people cannot overcome even after a lifetime of effort.

What frustrates Ye Yun even more is that, even now, he still doesn't have a clear breakthrough strategy.

Looking back, every predecessor who was able to break through to the Emperor rank had their own methods.

It can be said that there is no single, definitive path.

Ye Yun had specifically asked Jin Liuli about this before, asking how she broke through to the Emperor rank.

Unfortunately, Ye Yun could not use the method she mentioned.

Just then, Ye Yun remembered something from before.

"It seems it's time to go and find Senior Nangong."

Not only to fulfill her promise to Nangong Jiutian, but also because, given her knowledge, she should know some wonderful methods to break through to the Emperor rank.

With that thought in mind, Ye Yun left the cultivation room without further hesitation.

After exiting the pass, he greeted his apprentice, Kuroko, and several others.

After explaining that he needed to go out for a while, he left Creation Peak directly.

……

Not long after, inside the Holy Lord's Temple.

Before setting off, Ye Yun, as usual, went to see Hong Xian'er.

It has been almost a year since Hong Xian'er ascended to the position of Holy Lord.

With gradual refinement, Hong Xian'er is now increasingly displaying the qualities of a Holy Lord.

His cultivation level has also changed from the initial stage of the Dao Foundation Establishment to the current peak of the Dao Foundation Establishment.

It is evident that although he was busy with official duties, his cultivation speed did not fall behind at all.

Even Ye Yun couldn't figure out how the other party had managed to roll it up; it was simply terrifying.

At her desk, Hong Xian'er, dressed in the robes of the Holy Lord, was diligently handling official business.

The workload is much lighter than before.

It's actually quite easy to understand. As she sat in power for longer, she gradually began to have trusted and capable confidants below her.

In this case, the task can be directly assigned.

As for Hong Xian'er herself, she was responsible for taking charge of the overall situation and handling the coordination work.

"You've... reached the peak of the Imperial Dao realm?"

Noticing the change in Ye Yun's aura, Hong Xian'er was taken aback and asked in surprise.

It's worth noting that when Ye Yun intervened last time, he said he wouldn't leave until Ye Yun reached the peak of the Imperial Dao realm.

You'd think he was going to go into seclusion here.

Ye Yun smiled smugly at Hong Xian'er's question.

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have come out to find you."

"Too……"

Hong Xian'er nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Ye Yun and sighed sincerely.

"But I never expected your breakthrough to be so rapid."

"I thought you were going to go into seclusion for at least another six months."

For cultivators at the Imperial Dao Realm, half a year is just a blink of an eye.

It is clear that her expectations for Ye Yun were already quite high.

But to her surprise, Ye Yun's talent still exceeded her expectations.

Ye Yun smiled and said this.

"Actually, I was just lucky, which is why I didn't encounter any obstacles and broke through to the final minor realm directly."

"luck……"

Hong Xian'er rolled her eyes at him.

Outsiders don't know, and she doesn't know either.

This was clearly just an excuse Ye Yun made up for himself.

This is to explain the unusual speed of the breakthrough.

Of course, Hong Xian'er didn't expose him.

Only later did I ask him a question.

"So, what brings you here at this hour?"

When it came to serious matters, Ye Yun's expression became much more serious.

"Xian'er, do you still remember the letter Senior Nangong left before?"

When the matter was suddenly brought up, Hong Xian'er suddenly realized what had happened.

Looking at Ye Yun in front of her, she finally understood what he was going to do.

"Indeed, your cultivation has already reached the peak of the Imperial Dao, so you can go and keep the appointment."

She naturally remembered the agreement they had made very clearly.

Ye Yun nodded and chuckled.

"Yes, so I'm telling you this before we set off."

After that, Ye Yun waved his hand and said.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll get ready to leave."

"Wait a moment."

Suddenly, Hong Xian'er called out to him.

Ye Yun was taken aback and asked in confusion.

"Is there anything else?"

Hong Xian'er gazed at him wistfully and said something.

"What do you think? You think you can just leave like that?"

Seeing her expression, Ye Yun smiled as if he had just realized something.

"Oh right, I almost forgot, it's time for us to cultivate together."

He had barely finished speaking when Hong Xian'er pushed him away.

"Who said that!"

Hong Xian'er blushed slightly and glared at him.

Seeing her reaction, Ye Yun asked in confusion.

"Not this? Then what did you say, Xian'er?"

Hong Xian'er paused for a moment, then slowly explained.

What I want to say is that I'm prepared to go to the Black Abyss with you.

"what?"

Ye Yun was taken aback and asked in surprise.

"Really? Why?"

Logically speaking, the other party had no reason to go to the Black Abyss.

Clearly, Hong Xian'er's reason for going this time was rather cunning.

She looked at Ye Yun and said with her eyes slightly narrowed.

"Of course, I'm going to see the child you and that senior have conceived."

"After all... she's your first daughter."

Ye Yun was surprised that she would suddenly bring this up, and felt somewhat helpless.

"this……"

Just as he was considering, Hong Xian'er was already gazing at him with a melancholy look.

"What, you don't want me to see this?"

Judging from her expression, it was as if she would devour Ye Yun alive if he refused.

Ye Yun froze for a moment, then coughed lightly.

"How could that be? Xian'er can go anytime she wants to see!"

Seeing how honest he was, Hong Xian'er nodded in satisfaction.

"That's more like it."

Ye Yun looked at her and couldn't help but ask.

"So, you're really sure you can leave? What about the affairs in the Holy Land?"

As the Holy Master of the Ancient Path, Hong Xian'er cannot simply leave at will.

But clearly, Hong Xian'er was already prepared, and calmly smiled.

"It's alright, I've already entrusted it to professionals, and they will solve the vast majority of problems."

"Besides, I won't be away for too long, so there's no need to worry about any unexpected events."

Of course, if something really terrible happens while she's not around...

That can only be described as fate playing tricks on us, and there's nothing we can do about it.

However, Ye Yun thought of something and asked it strangely.

"No wonder you've been so busy lately, it's not like you've been thinking about this all the time, is it?"

"That's natural."

Hong Xian'er readily admitted it, then let out a soft hum.

"After all... your children are outside, how can I not go and see them?"

Ye Yun coughed lightly, deciding to give her a heads-up first.

"Let's make this clear first, then... you can't retaliate against me because of this child."

Hong Xian'er rolled her eyes at him and said indifferently.

"Do you expect me to be like you?"

"Since we allowed it in the first place, we won't be angry about it now."

Although there was some unhappiness, even frustration, it was mostly a sense of helplessness and regret that it wasn't him who started it.

In terms of the number of times she practiced dual cultivation, she definitely did it much more often than Senior Tianwu did back then.

In the end, the other party still beat them to it.

"Okay, that's good."

Ye Yun nodded, feeling relieved.

Then he smiled and said.

"In that case, let's set off immediately and see if Senior Nangong is already within the Black Abyss Barrier."

The letter did not specify a particular time; it simply asked him to come over after his promotion.

Therefore, it is highly likely that Nangong Jiutian is in the Black Abyss.

Hong Xian'er nodded and chuckled softly.

"Okay, I'll give you the instructions and then we'll set off."

After that, Hong Xian'er summoned several of her capable assistants and confidants.

After explaining the remaining tasks, the group agreed and turned to leave.

Before leaving, he offered his best wishes to Ye Yun.

Having accomplished all this, Ye Yun led Hong Xian'er on a journey to the Black Abyss.

Throughout the entire process, the two rode on Ye Yun's Dragon Blood Silver Blade without being disturbed by anyone.

The reason is quite simple: Ye Yun never conceals his aura.

They practically had my status as a peak expert of the Imperial Path written all over their faces.

Faced with such a top-tier cultivator, naturally no petty thief would dare to make any rash moves against him.

If you really anger him, even an Emperor-level expert can't handle him, but dealing with some low-level cultivators or forces wouldn't be difficult.

And so, the two arrived in the Black Abyss without any trouble.

Compared to Ye Yun's first visit, he now seems stronger, or perhaps his horizons have broadened.

Looking at the Black Abyss now, it doesn't feel as terrifying as it did at first.

After that, the two ventured deep into the heart of the Black Abyss.

Finally, before nightfall, they arrived at the location of the barrier in the heart of this place.

Following the methods taught to him by his master Bai Liuli, Ye Yun easily led Hong Xian'er into the room.

The view before us was suddenly covered by a vast expanse of greenery.

Every time Ye Yun came in, he couldn't help but sigh.

Surrounded by greenery, it's simply the perfect secluded retreat for quiet contemplation.

The arrival of Ye Yun and Hong Xian'er instantly brought joy to the many remnant souls of the empress who were busy with farm work nearby.

"Young Master Ye! Why are you back?"

From their perspective, Ye Yun hadn't been gone for very long.

They treat this place like their own home, coming back every few days.

Ye Yun scratched his head and chuckled.

"I've come to fulfill a promise to an old friend."
