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

Nangong Jiutian rolled his eyes at him and said indifferently.

"You're overthinking it; that's just your imagination."

The Emperor Rank is indeed the pinnacle of power in the mortal world.

Only when you place someone at her level can you truly be considered an equal.

"Oh, this..."

Ye Yun scratched his head, looking helpless.

"Hey senior, can't you let me be happy for a little while longer?"

How could someone who just broke through to the Emperor rank be given such a cold shower?

Nangong Jiutian rolled his eyes at him, showing no politeness whatsoever.

"I'm just telling you not to get too cocky."

"Advancing to the Emperor rank is merely the formal step before reaching the threshold of ascension to immortality."

Leaving aside the distant past, just looking at history, how many Emperor-level powerhouses have reached the Great Perfection of the Emperor level?

Even without Nangong Jiutian saying anything, Ye Yun was already well aware of these things.

At this moment, he sighed helplessly.

"Of course I know that."

After all, if one wants to ascend, the cultivation level of an Emperor is not enough.

One must also cultivate to the Great Perfection of the Emperor Rank.

At his current pace, he is still some distance away from reaching the Great Perfection of the Emperor Rank.

Despite his rapid cultivation speed before, he only truly felt the gap in realms after reaching the Emperor level.

It is estimated that it will take a lot of time just to advance from the first level of Emperor rank to the second level of Emperor rank.

Ye Yun felt the power in his palm and pondered for a moment before speaking.

"However, I really feel that after advancing to the Emperor rank, the difference in power is like night and day."

To put it bluntly, if he were to encounter his current self at the peak of the Imperial Path, he would be in a much worse situation.

With just a single move, he could have killed the version of himself that was in front of him.

This gap is beyond what any magic weapon or profound technique can bridge.

They even felt fortunate that they had previously acted arrogantly in front of Emperor-level powerhouses.

Fortunately, none of the opponents they encountered were particularly powerful Emperor-level experts.

Even with a teleportation scroll, I probably wouldn't survive.

"That's certainly very impressive."

Nangong Jiutian nodded and raised an eyebrow.

"I think you should be able to sense the seal of heaven and earth above by now, right?"

"The seal of heaven and earth?"

Ye Yun paused for a moment, then looked up.

His gaze pierced through the window, through the clouds, and landed directly on that empty space.

Originally, even at the Foundation Establishment Realm and the Imperial Realm, they couldn't find anything.

But at this moment, Ye Yun was surprised to find that there was an invisible membrane above the void.

It's like a giant membrane, enveloping the entire Xuan Tian Continent.

"Wow, so this is what it looks like?"

Ye Yun turned his head and glanced at Nangong Jiutian.

"Why does this seal seem so weak? It's just a thin layer."

It wasn't that he underestimated the seal, but that was truly the feeling he had.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Jiutian rolled his eyes at him.

"A thin layer? When you truly ascend, you'll know just how thick this thin membrane is."

Seeing that Ye Yun underestimated the seal, Nangong Jiutian was very displeased.

After all, she had been defeated by this seal before.

If you say the seal is weak, wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting that you're bad at the game?

In this situation, she would naturally feel displeased.

Ye Yun understood, so he simply smiled and nodded.

"Alright, once I reach the Great Perfection of the Emperor Rank, I'll experience it for myself!"

As he finished speaking, his eyes sharpened.

"No matter how strong it is, one day in the future, I will definitely break it completely!"

Regardless of what high-sounding reasons the world above might have for sealing off their Xuan Tian Continent.

But anyone who obstructs him, or anyone around him who ascends to immortality, is his enemy!

Upon hearing this, Nangong Jiutian nodded in approval.

"That's a good ambition. Then let's work together."

Ye Yun was taken aback at first, then chuckled.

"That's a good option."

Immediately, he remembered something and asked Nangong Jiutian.

"By the way, senior, weren't you absorbing yang energy? Is that enough now?"

Since the other party had done him such a big favor, he naturally couldn't let things go sloppily.

Nangong Jiutian sat up in bed and raised his hand, revealing a golden vortex in his palm.

Ye Yun could feel a familiar aura emanating from it, filled with intense vitality.

"That's enough."

It's fortunate that it was Ye Yun; if it were someone else, having so much yang energy extracted, they would probably have become a dried-up human body.

Of course, Ye Yun himself didn't feel anything about it.

"That's enough."

Ye Yun even thought that if the other party hadn't had enough, he would accompany him a few more times.

But now it seems that it is no longer necessary.

"Well... it's a pleasure working with you."

Seeing Ye Yun extend his hand, Nangong Jiutian grasped it and smiled.

"It's a pleasure working with you, you brat."

……

Ye Yun and Nangong Jiutian chatted in the room for a while before going out.

When he went outside, he found that there were already many people waiting for him to come out.

The leading figure was undoubtedly Hong Xian'er.

Beside her was Senior Tianwu, who was holding Xiao Nanzhi.

Oh right, now that Ye Yun has reached a certain level, he doesn't even need to call someone "senior" anymore.

Feeling the shocked gazes directed at him, Ye Yun scratched his head and said...

"Why...why is everyone staring at me like that?"

"What do you think, you brat?"

Tianwu looked at him and raised an eyebrow.

"To advance to the Emperor rank so suddenly without any warning has really scared us old bones to death."

At this moment, almost all the remnant souls of the Empress gathered in front of the small wooden building, and their expressions towards Ye Yun were all different.

It was shocking, unbelievable, and bizarre...

Ye Yun coughed lightly and explained helplessly.

"Promotion is not something I can control; I just got lucky and succeeded."

Hong Xian'er, who was standing in front of him, immediately followed up with a question.

"So... you really broke through to the Emperor rank?"

This is what she cares about most right now.

As expected, Ye Yun looked at her and smiled.

"That goes without saying. Judging from the aura emanating from me, Xian'er, you should have sensed it too, right?"

As they were talking, he noticed the changes in Hong Xian'er and exclaimed in surprise.

"Wait a minute... Xian'er, your Xuan Qi fluctuations have actually broken through as well."

Ye Yun remembered that when he went to Nangong Jiutian for dual cultivation today, Xian'er's cultivation level was still at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, at this moment, the fluctuations of Xuan Qi on Hong Xian'er's body were several times stronger.

Of course, with his current Emperor-level cultivation, it wouldn't be difficult for him to detect Hong Xian'er's Xuan Qi realm.

"Hmm... thanks to Senior Tianwu."

Hong Xian'er glanced at Tian Wu beside her and took a deep breath.

Although she was slightly tricked by the other party in the matter of Xiao Nanzhi.

Overall, I'm still very grateful to Tianwu.

Ye Yun was aware of their deal, nodded, and smiled at Tianwu.

"Yes, yes, thank you so much, Senior Tianwu."

"These are minor matters, just normal transactions."

Tianwu waved her hand, seemingly not taking the matter to heart.

After exchanging pleasantries, she looked Ye Yun up and down, smiled, and said...

"As for you, kid, now that you've broken through to the Emperor rank, do you feel... stepping into a new world?"

When this matter was mentioned, Hong Xian'er's gaze followed.

Clearly, she was also very curious about what it felt like to become an Emperor-level powerhouse.

Ye Yun scratched his head and pondered for a moment.

"Well... I do feel that he's become much stronger, a qualitative change from before."

"But to call it a new world isn't quite that exaggerated, is it?"

Perhaps because Nangong Jiutian had poured cold water on their enthusiasm earlier, they weren't as excited now.

Hong Xian'er, who was standing to the side, asked with a slight surprise in her beautiful eyes.

"What's the current relationship between you and your master?"

This question startled Ye Yun for a moment, then he replied thoughtfully.

"There's still a gap, and it will probably take another year or two to surpass her."

Although his cultivation level has now reached the Emperor rank, there are still some differences between his actual cultivation level and that of Jin Liuli.

Not to mention, the gap in combat skills is still considerable.

Under these circumstances, it would be impossible to surpass Jin Liuli in combat power.

Either one's cultivation level is absolutely suppressed, thus breaking through all laws with one force.

Either rely on time to hone your combat skills and gradually catch up with Jin Liuli.

But regardless of which path we take, it will still take some time...

"A year or two...that's quite fast."

Hong Xian'er wasn't being sarcastic; she was genuinely surprised by the speed at which Ye Yun was improving.

After all, it would be based on the time Ye Yun mentioned.

This is equivalent to Ye Yun going from a lowly servant to a peak powerhouse surpassing even the Holy Lord.

In total, it will only take two or three years, which is about the time it takes for a high-level cultivator to go into seclusion once.

This rate of improvement is nothing short of exaggerated...

……

After that, the remnant soul of the Empress within the barrier came one after another to congratulate Ye Yun.

To some extent, they watched Ye Yun rise step by step until he became emperor, and they felt quite moved.

Ye Yun was very grateful to these seniors and greeted them one by one.

According to Nangong Jiutian, once his cultivation reaches the Great Perfection of the Emperor Rank, he will be able to modify the power of the earth veins here.

By then, these ancestors will have regained some freedom and will be able to leave this place that has existed for tens of thousands of years.

After the seniors dispersed, only Ye Yun, Hong Xian'er, Nangong Jiutian, and Tianwu remained.

Tianwu was still holding Xiao Nanzhi in her arms.

She seemed to see Ye Yun, smiled and tugged at his hand, looking extremely cute.

"Did you see that?"

Tianwu glanced at Ye Yun and teased him with a smile.

"Even this little girl is congratulating you on breaking through to the Emperor rank."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun also glanced at Xiao Nanzhi.

Their eyes met, the big eye staring at the small eye.

Ye Yun stepped forward, looked at her, and smiled softly.

"Indeed, as expected of me..."

Just as Ye Yun was about to speak, he noticed that Hong Xian'er was also standing next to him.

He immediately withdrew his hand somewhat awkwardly, seemingly not wanting the other person to see that they were too close.

Seeing this, Hong Xian'er shook her head and waved her hand.

"Alright, hug me if you want."

"Now that it has already been conceived, it would be inappropriate to completely ignore it."

These words were clearly referring to the relationship between Xiao Nanzhi and Ye Yun.
