Primordial Era: Starting with Chaotic Double Pupils, Becoming an Apprentice to the Willow God

The ghost ship pierced through the fog and sailed silently over the North Sea.

The barbecue feast on the deck was coming to an end.

The witch put down her empty wine glass, feeling the surging energy within her body, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment.

This seemingly ordinary barbecue had an effect that was even more dramatic than some of the precious medicines she had taken within the Jietian Sect.

Not only did it cause a crack in her long-standing bottleneck in cultivation level, but it also made her divine soul more refined.

"This is not eating meat, it is clearly devouring the essence of the Great Dao."

The witch secretly glanced at Ye Xuan, who was leisurely wiping the corner of his mouth, her mind racing with calculations.

This man is not only incredibly powerful, but even the things he casually takes out are so extraordinary.

This is absolutely a walking treasure trove!

If she could win him over to the Jietian Sect, wouldn't she be able to do whatever she wanted in the Upper Realm?

Thinking of this, the witch's eyes flickered, and she leaned forward slightly, getting closer to Ye Xuan.

"Young Master Ye."

Her voice was soft and sweet, her breath sweet as orchids, and her large, bright eyes were full of allure. "I see you have extraordinary abilities; not only can you suppress this ghost ship, but your barbecue skills are also superb. Would you be interested in joining our Intercepting Heaven Sect?"

"If you come, the position of Holy Son is yours. And..."

The witch blinked, then gently drew a circle on Ye Xuan's shoulder with her slender fingers. "I can be your junior sister too~ I'll eat meat and drink with you every day, how about it?"

If these words had been spoken to anyone else, they would probably have been completely captivated.

However, before Ye Xuan could speak, Ao Tong reacted first.

"Click."

A crisp cracking sound.

The white jade wine cup in Ao Tong's hand was instantly covered with fine cracks.

She gave the witch a cold glance, and although she didn't say anything, the chill in her eyes made the surrounding temperature drop several degrees instantly.

The witch felt a chill run down her spine, shrank her neck, and cursed inwardly: This double-pupiled woman usually looks aloof, how come she's such a jealous person?

Ye Xuan looked at the witch with a half-smile, reached out and pressed down on Ao Tong's hand, which was about to lash out, and calmed down the ancient female saint.

"The Intercepting Heaven Sect?"

Ye Xuan shook his head, his tone indifferent, "No interest. That kind of place has too many rules; it's not suitable for me."

The witch's smile froze, and she was about to say a few more words of advice.

But Ye Xuan changed the subject, looking her up and down with a hint of judgment in his eyes.

"but……"

"Your personality is quite interesting. I happen to be short of a maid to serve tea and water, and I think you'd be a good fit. Ao Tong is a bit overwhelmed by pouring wine all by himself, so having an extra hand is always a good thing."

"What?!"

The witch's eyes widened, wondering if she had misheard.

To take her in as a maid?

Are we going to have to work as an assistant to that woman with double pupils?

She's a successor of the Heavenly Intercepting Sect! A witch in the eyes of countless geniuses in the Upper Realm! And this guy actually wants her to serve him tea and water?

"Young Master Ye, you...you must be joking, right?" The witch chuckled dryly, trying to ease the awkwardness.

"I never joke," Ye Xuan said seriously.

The witch took a deep breath, suppressing her frustration.

She knew that force wouldn't work; this guy was impervious to both soft and hard approaches.

Suddenly, an idea popped into her head.

Since I can't handle it myself, I'll shift the blame and let that hypocritical woman suffer for me!

"Sigh, Young Master Ye has such high standards. It's normal that he doesn't think much of her."

The witch sighed, feigning grievance, then changed the subject, revealing a sly smile.

"However, speaking of maids, I have an excellent candidate who would perfectly meet your requirements, young master."

"Oh?" Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow. "Tell me about it."

"That is the Holy Maiden of the Heaven-Mending Sect, named Fairy Yuechan."

When the witch mentioned this name, her tone was clearly sarcastic and mocking. "She claims to be pure and innocent, untouched by worldly affairs, and her looks are no less than mine. Most importantly, she also came to the Kunpeng Nest this time, and she usually loves to act aloof and superior."

"If Young Master Ye can capture her, that will truly be a feat."

"Just imagine, having that high and mighty Holy Maiden of the Heaven-Mending Sect serve you tea and water, that feeling... tsk tsk tsk."

The witch spoke while observing Ye Xuan's reaction.

She wanted to use Ye Xuan to deal with that mortal enemy.

If Yuechan were truly captured by Ye Xuan, the Patching Heaven Sect would lose all face, and she would get to watch a good show.

"Yuechan?"

Ye Xuan touched his chin, as if he was recalling something.

After a moment, he nodded, his tone very calm.

"I've heard of her. She's passable, though a bit of a hypocrite, but she'd be barely qualified to be a bed warmer."

Quiet.

A deathly silence.

The wine glass in Ao Tong's hand finally shattered completely, turning into dust and scattering all over the ground.

She looked at Ye Xuan with an extremely complex expression.

This guy really knows how to say something outrageous.

The witch's mouth gaped open, and she couldn't close it for a long time.

Her original intention was to have Ye Xuan cause some trouble for Yue Chan, or to have her take in a maid to humiliate her.

Her original intention was to have Ye Xuan cause some trouble for Yue Chan, or to have her take in a maid to humiliate her.

But this guy actually said he wanted to catch him to warm his bed?

If this gets out, the entire Upper Realm will probably be shaken to its core!

Those old fogies of the Patching Heaven Sect must be so angry they'd crawl out of their coffins!

"Giggle giggle!"

After realizing what had happened, the witch let out a silvery laugh, laughing so hard that she almost cried.

"Young Master Ye is indeed domineering! So domineering!"

"I'll take you to her right now! As long as you can bring that woman to warm your bed, I'll do anything you want from now on!"

She's determined to watch this spectacle!

As the three chatted and laughed, the ghost ship passed through layers of mist and finally arrived at the core entrance of the Kunpeng Nest.

Ahead lay a golden expanse of sea.

The seawater here is no longer blue, but has a dazzling golden hue, as if liquefied gold is flowing.

On the sea surface, countless ancient runes intertwined, forming a terrifying field of rules.

That was a restriction left behind by Kunpeng.

Countless powerful individuals had already gathered on the outskirts of the sea.

There are venerable figures from the ancient sacred mountains, overlords from the seas, and geniuses from various religions.

Their faces were solemn as they struggled to break through the formation.

"ah--!"

A scream rang out.

A Venerable One who attempted to force his way in was struck by a divine lightning bolt of the rules as soon as he stepped into the golden sea, instantly turning into ashes without leaving a trace.

"This is terrifying! This is a domain left behind by the Ten Fiends; it's not something we can easily enter!"

Everyone was terrified and could only cautiously probe the perimeter, searching for a glimmer of hope.

Just then.

"Splash—"

The fog behind them churned.

The black ghost ship that struck fear into everyone's heart sailed out silently, carrying Ye Xuan and his two companions.

It showed no sign of slowing down and charged straight toward the golden sea, which was filled with murderous intent.

"Look! That's a ghost ship!"

"Oh my god! It's going to break in!"

"Stay away! That's an ominous thing!"

Everyone was terrified and quickly moved away, fearing they might be tainted by the curse on the ship.

However, what happened next left everyone wide-eyed, wondering if they were hallucinating.

The moment the ghost ship entered the golden sea, it was a sight to behold.

The originally violent and all-consuming rules and restrictions actually separated to the sides on their own!

It was like subjects welcoming their king, or like some high-ranking beings exchanging greetings.

A wide, flat, golden road appeared out of thin air on the sea, leading straight to the depths of the Kunpeng Nest.

"This...how is this possible?!"

Mo Shang, the descendant of the sea god, who had just repaired the trident and was preparing to show off his skills, watched with his eyes turning red.

He exerted tremendous effort to break through the restriction, even using the resources left behind by the Sea God, and only managed to advance a hundred feet.

But this ship moved as if it were flat ground?

and……

Why does that white-clad young man on the bow of the ship, chatting and laughing with two stunningly beautiful women, look so familiar?

"Who is that?! They actually went in on a ghost ship?!"

"And there are two fairies accompanying them? One of them seems to be a witch from the Jie Tian Sect? And the other is a fairy from some other major sect?"

"Is this person here on vacation? This is outrageous!"

Countless geniuses were consumed by jealousy.

They're working so hard, while others are on vacation—the difference is just too big!
