Hearing what Shangguan Shang said, Gao Yan knew he couldn't escape it.

Moreover, his cultivation level can no longer be concealed. At most, his cultivation level can not be seen through by those in the Dao Integration Realm, but those in the Saint Realm can definitely see through it!

"Damn it, they're forcing me to show off, I can't even slack off!"

"Alright, you all go back and prepare for battle!"

Shangguan Shang waved his hand and said, "There are still eight months until the start of the Heavenly Pride Competition. Try your best to improve your cultivation!"

"yes!"

The crowd responded in unison.

"Junior Brother Gao, congratulations! I never expected the Ancestor to value you so much!" Zhang Tianfan said with envy.

"Call me Senior Brother!"

Gao Yan released an aura that pressed down on Zhang Tianfan. This guy must have also gained a lot of benefits in the Emperor's Tomb. In just over a year, his cultivation level has reached the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

Overwhelmed by Gao Yan's imposing aura, Zhang Tianfan staggered back two steps, then glared at Gao Yan angrily: "Gao Yan, don't push your luck!"

"Oh!"

Gao Yan glanced at the other party with disdain, then transformed into a streak of light and disappeared outside the Sacred Heart Palace!

"A mere Nascent Soul cultivator dares to call someone a Deity Transformation junior brother? How utterly absurd!"

Xiahou Meng uttered a dismissive remark before drifting away!

"Junior Brother Zhang, you should cultivate diligently!"

Xiahou Jian patted Zhang Tianfan on the shoulder and then left.

After returning to the Holy Son's Palace.

Gao Yan discovered that Xiao Yanran had emerged from seclusion.

"My lady, I've missed you so much!"

Gao Yan rushed forward and hugged Xiao Yanran's soft body.

"My lord, someone is watching!"

Xiao Yanran said shyly.

"It's okay, we're husband and wife, what's wrong with being affectionate!" Gao Yan said dismissively.

"Alright, my husband, let's talk about serious matters first!"

Xiao Yanran's expression turned serious.

But Gao Yan simply picked her up by the waist and strode towards the palace: "It's alright, let's talk about business while we chat!"
