Chapter 4780
After an unknown amount of time, the Tenth Palace Master slowly stood up, his stomach churning from the overwhelming stench of filth.
As his mind cleared, he realized that the few remaining survivors in the Tenth Palace had all perished.
Already gravely injured, they had been unable to withstand the suffocating pressure from the aura moments ago.
Among them was his son—the boy who had always loved lollipops.
Yet, as he gazed at his son’s lifeless body, his expression remained completely indifferent.
“Storage bags… storage bags…”
Suddenly remembering something, the Tenth Palace Master frantically searched the corpses, stripping them of their storage bags—including his own son’s.
Not far away, another storage bag lay quietly in the corner. At a glance, he recognized it as the Ninth Palace Master’s—it bore his insignia.
Despite the Ninth Palace Master’s demise, his storage bag had not vanished with him.
Gathering all the storage bags, the Tenth Palace Master placed them alongside his own, staring at the wealth of resources before him.
“With this much, I wonder if I can follow Kai…”
Muttering to himself, he entertained the thought of becoming Kai’s subordinate.
With such a powerful backer, even ruling over the Heavenly World would be within reach!
Regret gnawed at him.
Why had he ever opposed Kai in the first place?
Would it be too late to earn his favor now?
Xiao Dynasty
Kai was training under Hua Yueying, learning the Sweet Rain Descent technique. This auxiliary formation wasn’t particularly difficult for him.
After just a single day of practice, he had already grasped the basics. Though his execution lacked power, his talent was undeniable.
“Mr. Chen, your learning speed is incredible! You truly have a gift!” Hua Yueying exclaimed in delight.
Kai smirked. “If you really want to learn something, you should sleep beside your master. The master is always the best teacher.”
His tone was teasing, but his eyes carried a deeper meaning.
Hua Yueying shook her head. “No. Even though I am your woman, this is merely a transaction—not a true dual cultivation partnership. I will continue addressing you as Mr. Chen.”
“When I truly fall for you, I’ll change how I address you myself…”
“Suit yourself,” Kai replied indifferently.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At that moment, in a hidden part of the Xiao Dynasty, dark clouds churned violently. Thunder rumbled as lightning streaked across the sky.
The heavens and earth seemed to merge into chaos.
“Is someone undergoing a breakthrough?” Hua Yueying asked in shock.
Kai gazed at the turbulent sky in the distance. “With a tribulation this intense, it’s not just one person advancing…”
No one knew how much time had passed before the storm began to dissipate. As the skies cleared over the Xiao Dynasty, three overwhelming auras spread across the land in an instant.
“Immortal ascension?” Hua Yueying frowned, her expression turning grim.
“Don’t worry,” Kai reassured her. “These three advanced together.”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three figures materialized before them—Xuan Bin, Zhou Tang, and Cang Yue.
They had used the immortal stones Kai provided, achieving a simultaneous breakthrough into the Immortal Realm.
Such an occurrence was nearly unheard of in the Heavenly World—three cultivators ascending together!
“Mr. Chen, we owe you everything! Without you, who knows when we would have reached the Immortal Realm?”
Xuan Bin, overwhelmed with excitement, was about to kneel.
Kai stopped him with a simple gesture. “Your breakthrough is your own achievement. There’s no need to thank me.”
“Just stay by my side and remain loyal. I promise you’ll never lack resources or power.”
“We swear to follow you, Mr. Chen!” the three vowed in unison.
Just then, Xiao Yuanshan rushed in, his face filled with urgency.
“Mr. Chen, trouble! The Tenth Palace Master is here again!
