Immortal City, the Huangfu family.
A dark hall, devoid of light on all sides.
The elders of the Huangfu family gathered here. Huangfu Wujiang sat in the main seat, with Huangfu Yunteng standing obediently by his side.
Everyone's expressions were somewhat solemn, and the eyes of many elders were filled with apprehension.
Huangfu Wujiang's short stature sat motionless in the chair. His deeply sunken eyes revealed a trace of imperceptible fear, as if recalling something terrifying, causing his body to shudder involuntarily.
"Yunteng, from today onwards, you are not allowed to step half a foot out of the Huangfu family."
The hoarse voice drifted out faintly, devoid of emotion and leaving no room for negotiation.
Huangfu Yunteng's body stiffened. A trace of resentful harshness flashed across his face before he lowered his head and respectfully replied, "Yes, Grandfather."
He knew his grandfather was doing this for his own good. All of this was caused by Li Yu!
One day, he would definitely kill that guy!
Huangfu Donghai looked at Huangfu Wujiang, his voice trembling slightly as he asked, "Big Brother, will Yue Liuli come to seek revenge on us?"
His words carried a hint of unease.
The fate of his radiant and exceptionally talented nephew from back then seemed to flash before his eyes, leaving him on tenterhooks.
The other party was simply an unreasonably powerful lunatic.
Provoking such a person, their Huangfu family would likely face a great calamity.
His nephew at the peak of the Saint King realm had his soul completely destroyed after taking just one sword strike from her, dead beyond dead. How could this not leave a psychological shadow on him?
That was a peak Saint King, even stronger than him by a few degrees. Other than experts at or above the Quasi-Emperor realm, he couldn't think of anyone who could kill him.
Yet, such an existence was instantly killed in a single move by Yue Liuli, who had just broken through to the Saint King realm.
"Probably not."
Huangfu Wujiang frowned slightly. He actually wasn't sure either. After all, that woman was a lunatic who never followed rules or regulations and always did as she pleased.
"From today onwards, the core members of the Huangfu family are forbidden from leaving the family grounds."
Huangfu Wujiang made the decision. As long as they turtle up in the Huangfu family, relying on the protective clan array left behind by their ancestor, they wouldn't be afraid even if Yue Liuli really came to settle the score.
"With her cultivation speed, in at most three hundred years, she will inevitably advance to the Great Emperor realm. Once she leaves the Xuanhuang World, that will be the time for our Huangfu family to re-emerge."
"We will listen to Big Brother on this matter!"
Huangfu Donghai breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, as long as they waited three hundred years, their Huangfu family would still be a top-tier aristocratic family.
Furthermore, after waiting for Su Muyao to also break through to the Great Emperor realm, they might even have a chance to annex the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace.
After all, once Su Muyao left, the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace would no longer have any Quasi-Emperor experts. At that time, the overall strength of the Huangfu family would be stronger than the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace!
A few days later, the entire Immortal City learned the news that the Huangfu family had sealed their doors.
Everyone was incredibly shocked.
It was just a minor conflict with the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace; there was no need to be scared to the point of not daring to leave the house, right?
Many aristocratic families and sects did not understand the Huangfu family's actions, but they respected them. At least for the foreseeable future, they wouldn't have to see that silk-pants Huangfu Yunteng.
Time flew by, and three years passed.
A man wearing an ink-colored robe covered by a black cloak quietly left the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace without attracting anyone's attention.
After traveling continuously for half a month, the man finally stopped when he entered a desolate and remote mountain range. He removed the thick cloak to reveal his true face—it was none other than Mo Tianxiao, who had vanished without a trace for three years.
To prevent the Blood God Palace from tracking him, he had forcefully and stealthily stayed in the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace for three years.
These three years had suffocated him. He spent almost all of it alone. Occasionally, Lin Wanyi would visit him, but most of the time, he was by himself refining pills and drawing talismans. Other than Su Muyao and Lin Wanyi, no one knew where he was.
Zi Ling'er and Lin Nannan had only stayed in the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace for a year before Su Muyao sent them to the Demon Sect.
The reason was that she wanted the two of them to break through to at least the Saint realm within three hundred years. Lin Nannan, in particular, had to cultivate to at least the Saint King realm.
Three hundred years was definitely not enough. Not everyone could be as freakish as his master, so Su Muyao set her sights on the Demon Sect's Time Tower.
Three hundred years was indeed not enough, but what about three thousand years?
With sufficient talent, abundant resources, and the guidance of a Quasi-Emperor, wouldn't their cultivation soar rapidly over three thousand years?
Mo Tianxiao sighed emotionally. There was a saying: rather than burying one's head in bitter cultivation and struggling hard, it's better to follow the right person and casually drink some leftover soup.
Choice is greater than effort.
Geniuses like Nangong Wan and Lin Nannan only needed to follow a good master, and they could raise their cultivation while lying down. Moreover, with the guidance of a Quasi-Emperor, they would far surpass cultivators of the same realm in all aspects.
He was different. With his talent, even with piles of resources, he couldn't cultivate as fast as these Children of Destiny.
When they absorbed heavenly materials and earthly treasures, they converted them into cultivation with a hundred percent efficiency, wasting nothing.
As for him, he could probably only absorb half, while the remaining half would accumulate in his body, unable to be digested, which would instead destabilize his foundation.
His method of cultivation was destined to be different from these Children of Destiny.
After finding a natural cave and setting up several high-level formations, Mo Tianxiao sat cross-legged in the void. With a thought, he opened his character panel.
Name: Mo Tianxiao
Cultivation: Peak Profound Connection Realm
Destiny Level: Black
Cultivation Method: Demon Emperor Scripture (Tier 3 +)
Dharma Artifacts: Nine Tribulations Holy Sword (Sealed State), Human Emperor Banner (Incomplete)
Secondary Professions: Senior Alchemist (+), Senior Talisman Master (+), Senior Array Master (+), Intermediate Blacksmith (+)
Secret Arts: Immortal Dao Secret Art - Empty Hand
Spells and Divine Abilities: Great Annihilation Fist (True Grade), Eight Desolates Roaming Dragon Steps (True Grade)
Villain Points: 425009
Destiny Points: 8300
The gains from scamming the Huangfu family, combined with his three years of accumulation in the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace, meant he could finally upgrade his cultivation method again.
Looking at the panel that hadn't changed much, Mo Tianxiao felt a bit emotional. The Dharma Artifacts column still only had the Nine Tribulations Holy Sword and the Human Emperor Banner; even Quasi-Saint artifacts couldn't enter the system's panel.
"System, I want to upgrade!"
He shouted fiercely in his heart and viciously tapped the plus sign next to the Demon Emperor Scripture. Instantly, the Demon Emperor Scripture reached the fourth tier.
A primordial power surged from the void into his body, instantly filling his limbs and bones, pouring into his tiny meridians. Finally, the spiritual energy in his various acupoints merged into one and surged into his sea of qi.
The majestic power pouring into his body made Mo Tianxiao unable to resist groaning. It felt incredibly refreshing!
The Children of Destiny had their cultivation methods, and he had his unique secret.
How could step-by-step cultivation compare to the full empowerment of his system?
Cultivation might have flaws, but the system's empowerment would definitely fill every corner and every flaw to the brim, ensuring he wouldn't have any weaknesses or shortcomings!
Half an hour later, Mo Tianxiao slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a heavy breath of impure air. His mind and spirit were clear, and a bright light flashed in his piercing eyes.
"The feeling of getting it all done in one step is truly damn amazing."
This time, he directly consumed four hundred thousand Villain Points. For the next breakthrough, it would probably double. He still had a long way to go.
As he stretched his limbs, a series of sharp cracks erupted like popping beans. His physical toughness now far surpassed that of cultivators in the same realm.
An Emperor-grade cultivation technique was truly this terrifying.
