"Shh—"
A soft sound echoed as Yue Qingying's long sword was knocked aside by an invisible force, leaving her wide open.
Ye Hao's sword tip stopped just three inches from her throat, motionless.
The sword intent of the "Primordial Sword" surged through her body like a tidal wave and exploded with a deafening roar behind her.
"Boom—!!!"
Behind the arena, several miles away, a small hill was struck by the aftershock of the sword intent, and the entire mountaintop was neatly sliced off, leaving a cross - section as smooth as a mirror.
The whole arena fell into dead silence.
Yue Qingying stood there in a daze, the sword in her hand still trembling slightly.
"What's the name of this sword move of yours?"
Yue Qingying was shocked. Her Lunar Sword Intent had been completely shattered and crushed by Ye Hao's single sword strike.
Ye Hao sheathed his sword and said calmly, "It's just an ordinary sword strike, not worth mentioning."
Yue Qingying fell silent. For two hundred years, she had been diligent and was hailed as the most talented sword - cultivator in the past one hundred thousand years by everyone in the Moon Palace.
She thought that among her peers, no one could surpass her in the way of the sword. But today...
This young man named Ye Hao had, with just a casual sword strike, disintegrated her Lunar Sword Intent.
"I've lost!"
Yue Qingying took a deep breath and finally admitted defeat.
She held her long sword and bowed deeply to Ye Hao.
"Thank you for your instruction!"
After saying that, she turned around and left, her white skirt fluttering gently in the wind.
After walking a few steps, she suddenly turned back and looked at Ye Hao with burning eyes.
"I'll come to challenge you again if I get the chance."
Ye Hao nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Below the arena, the audience fell silent.
Just one sword strike.
The Saintess of the Moon Palace, a cultivator at the third level of the Immortal Realm and a sword - cultivating prodigy who had comprehended the Lunar Sword Intent, couldn't even withstand a single sword from this Ye Hao.
"Is he really omnipotent? It seems like he can do everything!"
At this moment, the mindset of the audience below had quietly changed.
At first, they scoffed at Ye Hao, thinking that he couldn't be proficient in everything.
But now, they believed it. After seeing Ye Hao's amazing performance, a strong sense of exploration and curiosity arose in their hearts.
They wanted to see what other fields Ye Hao was at the top in besides what he had already shown.
Ling Shuangshuang stared at the gradually disappearing Yue Qingying with a hostile look on her face.
"Want to get close to Ye Hao? He's mine. You'd better stay away! It seems I need to give the Moon Palace a warning and tell them to discipline their Saintess properly."
Soon, a cultivator stepped forward.
"Zhuge Yun from the Sky - Mystery Pavilion. I want to compete with you in formations. Do you dare to accept the challenge?"
A faint smile appeared on Ye Hao's lips. Formations? He had never practiced formations before.
But don't forget, he could gain insights from his Taoist companions' cultivation.
From Shen Suning, Ye Hao had obtained a lot of insights. Dealing with an Immortal - level formation master was a piece of cake for him.
Ye Hao made a gesture of invitation.
"Come on."
Hearing that Ye Hao had accepted the challenge, Zhuge Yun slapped his formation disk on the ground.
Immediately, countless formation patterns spread out in all directions like a spider's web.
"This is the 'Ten - Directional Killing Formation' I've created in my lifetime. How will you deal with it?"
Ye Hao activated his Reincarnation Eyes and glanced at the spreading formation patterns under his feet. A faint smile appeared on his lips.
Is this the best you can do with your lifetime of learning? You have no idea about the power of having cheats!
Ye Hao lifted his foot and stomped gently.
"Boom!"
A powerful force surged from under Ye Hao's feet. Wherever the force passed, the carefully arranged formation patterns of Zhuge Yun shattered layer by layer like paper.
In just three breaths, the entire "Ten - Directional Killing Formation" disappeared into thin air.
Zhuge Yun stood there in a daze, and the formation disk in his hand cracked into two with a "click" sound.
"This... You actually saw through all the nodes of my formation so easily and found the flaw precisely!"
Ye Hao patted the non - existent dust on his clothes.
"Too low - level."
Zhuge Yun was speechless, opening his mouth but unable to say a word.
His formation had just been set up, and Ye Hao had broken it with one stomp. With Ye Hao's formation skills, his formation was indeed low - level.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Yun smiled bitterly and clasped his fists.
"Admired!!!"
After saying that, Zhuge Yun turned around and left.
"Damn it!!! He also has such a high level of attainment in formations. Is he really human? Is he really only in his twenties? It seems like he's a genius who was born knowing everything!"
"Exaggerated. Only after seeing him today do I know what a real genius is!!!"
Before the commotion on the stands had subsided, another figure flew down.
This time, it was a man in a flaming robe. Someone recognized his identity -
Huo Yan, a prodigy in alchemy from the Crimson Glow Valley.
Huo Yan waved his hand, and a bronze pill furnace appeared out of thin air on the arena.
"Alchemy. Dare to have a competition?"
Seeing this, Ye Hao didn't waste any words and immediately took out his Myriad - Transformation Dao - Heart Furnace.
After the system rewarded Ye Hao with this pill furnace, he had never used it. After all, as the imperial son of the Qin family, he didn't need to refine pills himself.
He could directly get any pills he wanted from the family.
It just so happened that someone wanted to compete with him in alchemy today. He could see how effective this Myriad - Transformation Pill Furnace was.
According to the description of the Myriad - Transformation Dao - Heart Furnace, this pill furnace could refine pills automatically without the need for a cultivator to intervene.
Moreover, the pill furnace had the Primordial Pill Canon built - in, which included all pill formulas from ancient times to the present.
Not only that, it could also deduce pill formulas based on the effects of the pills, with zero mistakes and zero waste.
"I'm going to refine a low - grade Immortal - level pill this time. What kind of pill are you going to refine, fellow Taoist?"
Huo Yan took out the medicinal herbs, put them into the pill furnace, and asked Ye Hao what pill he was going to refine.
Ye Hao smiled faintly.
"Then I'll refine a middle - grade Immortal - level pill."
After saying that, Ye Hao walked to the Myriad - Transformation Dao - Heart Furnace and placed his hand on it.
"Pill furnace, I want to refine a middle - grade Immortal - level pill. Its effect should help me break through to the peak of the Great Saint Realm and find a new path to the Tribulation - Crossing Realm. What do I need to prepare?"
Soon, a thought came into Ye Hao's mind.
[Currently deducing for the master. Deducing...]
[Ding, deduction successful. To refine the Break - Through and Tribulation - Crossing Pill, a middle - grade Immortal - level pill, the required medicinal herbs are as follows:]
[One Nine - Transformation Divine Herb (preferably with a ten - thousand - year medicinal age), three taels of Void Spiritual Roots, and one Flower of Transcendence.]
[Eighteen auxiliary herbs - Star Orchid, Earth Fire Lotus, Mysterious Ice Fruit...]
[This is expected to consume five thousand Immortal Crystals (can be replaced with your own spiritual power).]
Ye Hao nodded. He had just mentioned the effect, and the pill furnace had really deduced the pill formula. Not bad, not bad.
Refining pills automatically with this pill furnace still required consuming Immortal Crystals. Since he was putting on a show, he might as well use his own spiritual power to create the illusion of refining pills.

and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!

The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it. The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him.
