Master, when can I become your wife?

Ye Junze rejected Ye Wuyou's request without hesitation. What a joke! Did he really think he was just a tool?

No matter what, he was, after all, the master of a peak.

There are only things you want to do, not things you have to do!

Moreover, he was about to lose control of his cultivation level.

In the past year, although he did not actively cultivate, his cultivation level still improved at an absurdly fast speed because of the system.

This is mainly because he took the little princess of the underworld as his disciple.

If I hadn't forcibly suppressed it, I probably would have already broken through to the Mahayana stage by now.

The reason for suppressing his cultivation level is that he hasn't cleared the Peak Tower yet. Wu Lingxiao and the others have all cleared the Peak Tower, and he can't fall behind.

Therefore, no matter how generous the offer is this time, he will not go.

Seeing this, Ye Wuyou nodded but didn't say anything more.

He's not like Wu Tianqiong, who tries to arrange everything for Ye Junze.

If Ye Junze is unwilling to go, then I will have to go myself.

To be honest, he didn't really like the immortal realm.

There are far too many old fogies in the Immortal Realm whose strength is comparable to mine.

Those old things have long since passed the end of their lifespan.

But the result?

These people are still not satisfied and continue to fight tooth and nail for that so-called transcendence.

Staying in the Immortal Realm is far less peaceful than staying in a small place like the Xuan Tian Realm.

This is why he has always stayed at the Dao Seeking Sect.

Not only him, but most of the other eleven peak masters were also for this reason.

After accepting the two starships, Ye Wuyou disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Ye Junze glanced at the sky. Since it was still early, he decided to go to the Divine Battle Peak and clear the 999th floor of the Peak Tower first.

As for the powerful beings on the thousandth floor, if they can defeat them with a single sword strike, that's a testament to their skill; if they can't, that's perfectly reasonable.

The God Battle Peak was as lively as ever today.

However, two names are missing from the leaderboard of the Pinnacle Tower.

Wu Lingxiao and Yue Qingge have both broken through to the Mahayana stage, so naturally they will no longer remain on the rankings.

To Ye Junze's surprise, a familiar face appeared at Hidden Sword Peak today.

Perhaps... there is more than one.

Ye Junze looked at Long Qianye, who seemed to be waiting for someone, and walked over with a smile, asking, "What are you doing here?"

Long Qianye turned around and saw that it was Ye Junze. He said helplessly, "After the young master returned to the Daotian Demon Realm to get engaged, he has been unwilling to break through his cultivation level. He keeps saying that he wants to clear the Peak Tower, otherwise he will never be able to break through in this lifetime. I had no choice but to bring him here again."

Both Long Qianye and Long Zhen were quite helpless about this.

They originally planned to help Long Xiao break through to the Celestial Immortal realm as soon as possible so that he could marry the princess of the Fire Phoenix clan.

As a result, Long Xiao was unwilling to break through and kept trying to escape the Heavenly Demon Realm.

Only when there was absolutely no other way did I reveal the reason.

Left with no other choice, Long Zhen instructed Long Qianye to quickly bring Long Xiao to the Dao Asking Sect so that they could clear the Peak Tower as soon as possible.

After listening to Long Qianye's explanation, Ye Junze roughly understood the situation. So, he went back to get engaged and then came back.

This is truly surprising.

Just as the two were talking, Wu Lingxiao, who had come to visit his good brother, saw Ye Junze and walked over.

"Peak Master Ye, you're here too. It's been quite a while since I've seen you."

"Yes, I went to the Astral Plane and experienced its customs and culture. Oh right, I also brought you a local specialty from the Astral Plane."

As Ye Junze spoke, he took out a knife hilt and handed it to Wu Lingxiao.

"?"

Wu Lingxiao looked at the arm in his hand, somewhat bewildered. Ye Junze had brought him a special product from the starship, which made him very happy.

But only giving him a knife handle is somewhat taking advantage of an honest person.

Ye Junze explained the setup: "This is a laser knife. Place the immortal crystal in the groove in the middle, and then inject spiritual energy or immortal energy to activate it."

"Oh?"

Wu Lingxiao raised an eyebrow, realizing that he had misunderstood.

He had actually heard about things related to the astral plane.

After all, there are still quite a few in the Heavenly Demon Realm.

I heard all of this from Long Xiao, but Long Xiao didn't have any of those things on him.

According to Long Xiao, they were all trash that wasted spirit stones.

So he never paid any attention to it.

but……

Now that he had such a novel thing in his hands, Wu Lingxiao was quite willing to give it a try.

After placing a fairy crystal into the groove on the handle, press the button.

In an instant.

Golden light extended from the hilt, instantly forming a golden longsword.

"Wow! It looks pretty good."

Wu Lingxiao's eyes lit up. Putting everything else aside, this thing was incredibly cool. It would definitely be a lot of fun to take it out and use it to fight people.

Ye Junze nodded and said, "Yes, this lightsaber is equivalent to a top-grade spiritual weapon, so it's quite good."

Upon hearing this, Wu Lingxiao was stunned.

Top-grade magical artifact?

So he has to take back what he just said; this thing doesn't seem to be anything special.

Using this thing requires consuming one Immortal Crystal. Although it's just an ordinary Immortal Crystal, it's still worth ten thousand top-grade spirit stones.

Ten thousand top-grade spirit stones can be used once?

Why didn't he use a truly top-grade spiritual weapon? Was it because he had too many spirit stones?

As expected, Long Xiao had not deceived him; the technological weapons of this star realm were nothing but wasteful junk that wasted spirit stones.

However, since it was a gift from Ye Junze, Wu Lingxiao accepted it with great satisfaction. Even if he didn't use it, it was still good for showing off.

"If Wu Lingxiao got a gift, I should get one too, right?"

Yue Qingge also came over at some point, looking at Ye Junze with expectant eyes.

"Of course, how could I forget you?"

Ye Junze smiled slightly and took out another necklace.

"This is the Heart of Dimension Necklace. Well, the name is a bit long, but that's what the seller named it."

"This thing can consume one immortal crystal to set up a barrier that can withstand the attack of a Celestial Immortal. At the same time, it can also perform spatial teleportation, teleporting to a range of tens of thousands of miles away in a designated direction."

"Wait, why is her necklace so practical?"

Before Yue Qingge could even take the necklace, Wu Lingxiao couldn't help but complain.

Although the barrier wasn't very useful, the teleportation was still somewhat useful, at least more useful than his own sword.

Yue Qingge immediately took the necklace Ye Junze handed her and said irritably, "What do you mean by that? Peak Master Ye kindly gave us a gift, and you're complaining about it? Don't give it to me."

"Ahem, no, no, I like it very much."

Wu Lingxiao coughed lightly and said somewhat awkwardly.

Ye Junze shrugged. "It's nothing. Your knife is indeed just a toy, but what can you do? Do you expect a grown man like you to wear a necklace?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Lingxiao looked at the necklace in Yue Qing's hand.

It was a deep blue necklace with a blue gemstone hanging from it, and several interlocking rings inside that were constantly rotating.

To be honest, I really wouldn't wear this myself.

"Too."

Wu Lingxiao nodded in complete understanding, and besides, this chain could only teleport tens of thousands of miles.

As for that barrier, it's far less cost-effective than a distress call.

Overall, it is actually a decorative item.

Ye Junze glanced at the Peak Tower and said, "Alright, I'll go climb the Peak Tower first. We'll talk about it when I come out."

With that, he walked into the Peak Tower.

Watching Ye Junze disappear before the Peak Tower, Wu Lingxiao pondered for a moment before asking, "How long do you think it will take Peak Master Ye to clear the 999th floor?"

Yue Qingge thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to say. If they use their full strength, they should be much faster than the two of us."

After saying that, he admired the necklace in his hand.

The more I look, the more I like it.

Especially after seeing the hilt of the knife in Wu Lingxiao's hand, Yue Qingge liked the heart in her own hand even more.

When a celestial crystal is placed on the necklace, its celestial energy quickly dissipates and is completely absorbed by the necklace.

Next, whenever Yue Qingge is attacked, the necklace's protection mechanism will be automatically triggered.

As for the teleportation mechanism, Yue Qingge will need to implement it herself.

Listening to their conversation, Long Qianye simply sighed deeply and said, "I just want to ask, is the 999th floor difficult?"

He was very anxious. If Long Xiao didn't break through, he might not make it to the wedding day.

Wu Lingxiao: "It's not difficult."

Yue Qingge: "So-so."

Both gave their own assessments, but Long Qianye felt they weren't entirely trustworthy.

If it's not difficult, why hasn't Long Xiao passed the 999th floor after being back for half a month?

It's so hard... It's really too hard for me!

At this moment, no one knows.

Long Xiao was chatting with his opponent on the 999th floor of the Peak Tower.

The opponent on the 999th floor is the afterimage of a super strong being from ancient times.

If it really comes down to a fight, Long Xiao is actually quite confident of winning.

But he's not big.

As for why...

"You wouldn't believe it, I'm only in my early fifties, and my old man is already forcing me to get married! Wow, you wouldn't believe it, the other person is a phoenix over a hundred years old!"

"She's a True Immortal, two major realms higher than me. If we get married, won't I be severely suppressed?"

Long Xiao sat on the ground, with wine and various spiritual fruits laid out in front of him.

The powerful afterimage sitting opposite Long Xiao laughed and said, "What's the big deal? Have you ever heard this saying? A woman three years older brings good fortune, a woman thirty years older brings a kingdom, a woman three hundred years older... sigh, I forgot. Anyway, the older a woman is, the more caring she is. You won't lose out."

During this period, Long Xiao had been fighting him very seriously at the beginning, but recently he has been coming in to chat with him.

At first, he thought Long Xiao was trying to lower his guard so that he could defeat him.

I only found out today.

This kid actually did this to escape his arranged marriage; that's a bit outrageous.

For a demon like Long Xiao, being a hundred years older is nothing at all.

When they are both tens of thousands of years old, if one is a hundred years older, wouldn't that be the same as being a few months older?

There is no difference.

However, the difference in cultivation level is indeed a problem. Long Xiao's concerns are not without reason; he might not even be able to win an argument.

Maybe in bed, Long Xiao is the bottom one.

That would be very frustrating.

The powerful afterimage stroked his chin. To be honest, he didn't have this concern, because he was just an afterimage.

However, it's still quite fun to chat with Long Xiao.

Long Xiao remained noncommittal to the powerful afterimage's words, "Perhaps, but I'm still young, and I don't want to step into the grave of marriage so early. Sigh! Senior, do you have any ideas?"

"A solution? There must be a solution, such as you just die, or you sever ties with your family."

After a pause, the powerful figure continued, "Or you could take people up there to annul the engagement and humiliate the other party, and then, in a fit of anger, they would agree to a hundred-year pact with you."

Long Xiao immediately stopped him, "Wait, why are you talking like you're from a storybook?"

"No, no, no, this is my personal experience. Sigh, back then..."

The powerful figure, with a look of emotion on his face, recounted his experiences from memory one by one.

Outside the Peak Tower.

Long Qianye had no idea that his young master was currently having a lively conversation with the powerful afterimage.

He was still waiting for Long Xiao to defeat the afterimages of the powerful figures on the 999th floor of the Peak Tower, and then return to the Heavenly Demon Realm with him.

And so another day passed while we waited.

At this moment, the leaderboard on the 999th floor of the Pinnacle Tower changed, with a new name appearing on it.

Long Qianye immediately perked up and looked closely.

Upon looking at the list, they were immediately disappointed, because the person on the leaderboard was not Long Xiao, but Ye Junze.

Yue Qingge and Wu Lingxiao, who had been waiting here all night, exchanged a smile and looked at Ye Junze's record.

First place: Ye Junze

Time taken to complete the mission: 14 hours, 27 minutes, and 12 seconds

Comment: Very simple

……

Seeing this result, Wu Lingxiao smiled with relief.

It went smoothly in one go.

That's truly outrageous; even as the Holy Son, he has absolutely no face in front of Ye Junze.

I just don't know if Ye Junze can beat the thousandth floor.

If possible...

Just as Wu Lingxiao was thinking this, Ye Junze was teleported out by the Peak Tower.

"Oh?"

Wu Lingxiao raised an eyebrow.

Ye Junze rubbed his temples. "Damn, this thousandth floor is something no human can handle."

The thousandth layer is the afterimage of a powerful being in the Mahayana stage.

Even the strength of this powerful afterimage in front of a Mahayana cultivator is the same as the strength of the powerful afterimage on the 999th floor in front of a Tribulation Transcending cultivator.

In other words, even a powerful cultivator at the Mahayana stage would find it difficult to defeat.

Not to mention him, who is only at the Tribulation Transcending stage.

As soon as he entered, he didn't even dare to hesitate and immediately unleashed a full-force Heaven-Opening Technique.

However, it did not pose much of a threat to the other party.

The damage was done, but the opponent retaliated and killed him instantly.

Upon hearing Ye Junze's words, Wu Lingxiao immediately laughed, "Hearing that even you can't beat the thousandth floor makes me feel much better."
