Drunken Immortal Pavilion, the most famous restaurant in Linzi, gathers renowned dishes and chefs from around the world. It has been famous since the Warring States period, and now, as the magical beasts in the Azure Cloud Mountain Range gradually lose their former Edge, even some Third-Order Beasts and Fourth-Stage Beasts have become delicacies on dining tables. As a result, business at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion is booming.
After bathing, Ye Yang donned a full set of black Armor, draped in a red Cloak. The sheath of the Haotian Sword was hidden within the Cloak, with only a portion of the hilt protruding. His attire was typical of a general from the Pre-Qin era; however, given the fragmented state of the world, there was no uniformity among generals' outfits, and armor varied as well. He had wrapped a piece of sea-blue fabric around his shoulder, which served as the insignia of a general from the Qi State.
Accompanied by Yan Yao and Zeng Xuan, Ye Yang slowly entered the restaurant. The plump Innkeeper immediately recognized him and quickly knelt down, saying, “Prince Qi, your presence graces our humble establishment…”
“Get up.”
With a single hand raised, Ye Yang used an invisible force to lift the hefty body of the Innkeeper, preventing him from kneeling further. “Keeper, do not make a fuss. Choose a good spot and serve us your best food and wine.”
“Yes, yes, I will take care of it right away. Please follow me to an elegant room on the second floor, Your Highness and ladies!”
“Alright!”
The so-called elegant room was actually close to the market; however, both sides of the street were lined with drooping willows, and in the distance, mountains stretched endlessly in shades of green, creating an indescribably beautiful scene.
…
Before long, a table filled with delicacies was laid out. Ye Yang poured Jasmine Wine, allowing Zeng Xuan and Yan Yao each to drink a cup before he poured himself another glass and began eating heartily. In no time, half a roasted pig, two legs of Azure Wind Antelope, and countless meat dishes had already been consumed, yet he appeared completely unfazed.
Yan Yao watched in astonishment and whispered, “Brother, you’ve eaten so much…”
Ye Yang smiled lightly and patted his belly, saying, “I’m only about eighty percent full…”
Zeng Xuan pouted and teased, “With you like this, still calling yourself Fire God? Hmph! We should visit the heavenly realm someday; you must not have been there since your ascension to godhood!”
Ye Yang was filled with longing: "The Heavenly Realm? Is it... is it a place full of blooming flowers, with spring all year round, brilliant starry rivers, and shimmering lights?"
Zeng Xuan was taken aback: "What? I don't understand..."
Ye Yang thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing, you'll know once we get there..."
...
As they spoke, Ye Yang took another large gulp of wine, his face already flushed. He stood up, placed a silver ingot on the table, and said to Yan Yao: "Yan Yao, wait for me and Sister Zeng Xuan in Linzi. Once we kill Zaochi, we'll return immediately. For now, Qi State is without a ruler; you need to hold down the fort, understand?"
Yan Yao nodded: "Got it, brother. I'll wait for you to come back!"
"Mm!"
Ye Yang turned around and exchanged a smile with Zeng Xuan. In the next moment, both of them vanished from the spot, leaving behind a faint trace of spatial distortion in the air. The Innkeeper was left dumbfounded; glancing at the silver ingot on the table, he dared not say anything more. Even if Ye Yang didn't pay, he would have to accept it. Moreover, after Ye Yang and Zeng Xuan had teamed up to slay the great wind for three days, Wang Lie's army had returned to the city. The Drunken Immortal Pavilion was no longer subjected to exploitation by powerful figures. The chefs who had been conscripted into the palace by the great wind also returned one by one. For the Innkeeper, Ye Yang's return meant the return of wealth; otherwise, his business wouldn't survive.
...
After teleporting to Han Zhong County, Ye Yang and Zeng Xuan stopped using teleportation and switched to flying. The aura from teleportation was too intense; even a single teleportation by a Divine-level Expert could be sensed by cultivators within hundreds of miles due to the distortion of time and space. Since Zaochi was a powerful Mid-Level Deity, Ye Yang and Zeng Xuan naturally had to be cautious.
Suppressing their aura, Ye Yang flew low. It was raining at that time, and the raindrops splashed against their clothes. Fortunately for Ye Yang, he had his Armor for protection. However, Zeng Xuan's thin clothing quickly became soaked through. Although a Divine-level Expert's physique was not afraid of such storms, Zeng Xuan was still a woman; her red garment became transparent and clung tightly to her body, revealing her two rosy curves. Just one glance made Ye Yang's heart race; he dared not look again.
Zeng Xuan couldn't help but chuckle: "You little brat, is my figure not good enough?"
Ye Yang shook his head: "Sister Xuan, I don't have time to discuss this right now... We must hurry to Serene Gate and find the stream; otherwise, I feel very uneasy..."
Zeng Xuan nodded, "Well, I suppose you have a conscience and some determination!"
...
As night fell, they entered the territory of the Serene Mountains.
At this moment, the Serene Mountains were no longer the serene and tranquil place they used to be; instead, there was an added air of hostility. Within the ancient buildings scattered throughout the mountains, there were actually squads of guards patrolling. Fortunately, Ye Yang and Zeng Xuan possessed exceptional cultivation skills, their auras concealed almost flawlessly. The low-level Soldiers could not sense the presence of these two Divine-level Experts at all.
"Kid, can you sense where Yun Xiaoxi is?" Zeng Xuan asked softly.
Ye Yang closed his eyes, floating in the night sky, and said quietly, "Underground. The stream is beneath the ancient buildings of Serene Gate."
"How do we get down there?"
"Let's look for a way..."
"Alright!"
The two flew around for a while but found no trace of an entrance to the underground.
"What should we do?" Zeng Xuan asked in confusion.
Ye Yang thought for a moment, then raised his sword-like eyebrows and decisively said, "Let's dig a hole down!"
Zeng Xuan opened his mouth, paused for a moment, and replied, "Good idea. You dig!"
"Mm!"
Ye Yang wielded the Haotian Sword, channeling some power as blades of wind swirled around it. In an instant, the entire Haotian Sword began to spin rapidly, piercing into the ground like an indestructible drill. The fierce wind blades shredded and compressed the soil and rubble, creating a deep pit with a radius of two meters.
"Zeng Xuan, keep up!" Ye Yang said.
Zeng Xuan hesitated for a moment but then lifted her skirt and followed.
...
At Serene Gate, underground, in the Beast Pool.
The water in the pool was as calm as ever, without a ripple.
Yun Xiaoxi stood gracefully above the water, her eyes closed and long eyelashes slightly trembling, surrounded by swirling ice crystal energy.
Beside her, a female disciple said, "Sister Yun has been immersed in the Ice Crystal Technique for over a month now, but... but her aura hasn't broken through to the Celestial Realm. What should we do..."
Another female disciple murmured, "You ask me? How would I know? Sister Yun is our hope at Serene Gate. If she doesn't ascend to Godhood, none of us can avenge our master!"
"Zaochi has recently sent out spies to search for the whereabouts of Serene Gate disciples, just to eradicate us completely. Junior Sister Xiaoxi, you must ascend to Godhood quickly; all hope rests on you..."
...
Immersed in her understanding of the laws, Yun Xiaoxi could clearly hear the conversation between her two junior sisters but felt powerless. Her True Qi had mostly transformed into Divine Power, yet she was unable to convert it into Heavenly Power. It felt as if something was blocking her chest; she was just one step away from Heavenly Dawn but could not cross that threshold.
At that moment, a sudden violent trembling sound came from the top of the Beast Pool.
"What happened?"
Hundreds of Serene Gate disciples looked up in unison.
Yun Xiaoxi also opened her eyes and gazed at the top of the Beast Pool.
...
"Boom!"
The ceiling suddenly burst open, and a Crimson Blade spun rapidly above the water of the pool.
Immediately after, a red battle robe descended, and a handsome Young General floated down gracefully, covered in dust and dirt—it was Ye Yang!
