"Of the seven holy sons and daughters, I have the best relationship with you, so naturally I should come to you first!"
Gao Yan responded with a smile.
Xiahou Meng was quite pleased with himself, but said aloud, "Bah, who's on good terms with you? From now on, we're enemies!"
"Fine then, we're enemies!"
Suddenly, Xiahou Meng's gaze sharpened as she stared at Gao Yan and asked, "You've broken through to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage?"
"Surprised?"
Gao Yan retorted, "Don't you know I possess sword intent energy?"
Xiahou Meng truthfully replied, "It was indeed a bit of a surprise, after all, you've only been in the Nascent Soul realm for a short time, while Nangong Yao and I were able to quickly advance to the peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm."
"That's because we've been at this level for decades, and our understanding and perception of it are profound enough. Even so, we still need to spend a certain amount of time refining ourselves before each breakthrough. On the other hand, you were only at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage at the last Great Dao Celebration, and in such a short time, you've broken through five levels in a row, yet your aura is so pure, without the slightest hint of weakness!"
"That just proves I'm gifted!" Gao Yan said, feigning smugness.
"I'm annoyed just looking at you. Get lost! I don't want to talk to you anymore!"
Xiahou Meng said irritably, because she could already feel the pressure from Gao Yan. This guy broke through to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage so quickly, so could he break through to the Divine Transformation stage before her?
Once the opponent breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage first, they will become the second strongest among the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters.
"Since Senior Sister Xiahou is in a bad mood, I'll take my leave now!"
Gao Yan guessed the reason for Xiahou Meng's sudden anger; she was worried that he would surpass her in cultivation.
However, Gao Yan will not "break through" to the Divine Transformation stage so quickly.
After all, the one from three thousand years ago broke through to the Nascent Soul stage at the age of a little over a hundred, but was still plotted against by the five major factions.
If he makes a breakthrough in the next few years, he will definitely be targeted.
He's a disciple of a Saintly Ancestor, while he's just a nobody in the cultivation world.
Without a powerful backer, he wouldn't provoke the five major factions, so he won't have any significant breakthroughs in the next hundred years!
Several hours later, Gao Yan had visited all the other holy sons and daughters.
However, when they visited Xiahou Jian, they did not find him; he was in seclusion.
For a moment, Gao Yan was also somewhat moved. Xiahou Jian was the strongest among the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters. In order to maintain his first position, he cultivated harder than the other Holy Sons and Holy Daughters.
Nangong Yao, on the other hand, became much closer to him, and their friendship level even rose to 79 points.
This level of friendliness indicates that the other party has already considered him a friend.
Of course, this change occurred because the four major factions joined forces.
He was chosen by the four major factions to compete against the Xiahou siblings.
After returning to his own Holy Son Peak.
Qin Xiangxue then reported to him that after he left, many of his true disciples sent congratulatory gifts.
She accepted the gift and made a record of it.
Gao Yan took the gift list and found that there were many acquaintances in it. Qin Mi, Meng Ruyan, and Li Jincheng had all given gifts. In addition, Hua Xiyu, Zhou Yuexin, and others had also given gifts.
One name surprised Gao Yan slightly, because he had only met Jia Sizhen once at the Daoist conference held by Xiahou Meng.
Unexpectedly, the other party also sent a congratulatory gift.
"Alright, I'm fine here. You can go back to your cultivation!" Gao Yan waved to Qin Xiangxue.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Qin Xiangxue bowed and then left the main hall.
Just then.
Gao Yan frowned slightly.
However, it was a rogue cultivator whose soul seed he had planted that died.
A thought crossed my mind.
Through the special connection between souls, he read the memory of the other person before their death.
After reading the other person's memories, Gao Yan was both amused and exasperated.
This rogue cultivator died while eating melon seeds.
Simply put, the other party went to watch two Golden Core cultivators duel out of curiosity, and as a result, the two Golden Core cultivators shattered a mountain peak when they fought.
Unexpectedly, there was a token inside the mountain that looked like gold but wasn't jade.
The token, stimulated, emitted a terrifying aura, which then crushed the souls of the two Golden Core cultivators and the surrounding onlookers into dust.
suddenly.
Gao Yan's heart skipped a beat.
This token, capable of crushing a Golden Core cultivator's soul with just its aura, is definitely no ordinary object!
Thinking of this, he immediately sealed off the entire hall.
Then his figure transformed into an unfamiliar face, and he summoned a portal to project coordinates.
As soon as he pushed open the door and stepped inside, Gao Yan appeared a hundred miles away from where the token was located!
He activated his Insight Eye and quickly surveyed his surroundings, discovering that a large number of cultivators were rushing towards him.
"brush!"
With a flash, Gao Yan appeared next to the token.
After the outburst, the token returned to its ordinary appearance.
Out of caution, Gao Yan did not retrieve it himself. Instead, he released one of the Xuanming Sect's Nascent Souls, whose souls he had imprisoned, and let him pick up the token.
After finding that the other party was alright, Gao Yan took him back to his world and then summoned the Anywhere Door back into the main hall.
He sat on the throne.
With a thought, the token appeared in his hand.
This token looks particularly ordinary. If he hadn't seen its power through the memories of that rogue cultivator, he would have completely regarded it as an ordinary item.
The front of the token features only the number nine, while the back is engraved with an axe.
His figure swayed.
Gao Yan appeared in my world.
They summoned a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Xuanming Sect and had him use his divine sense to examine the token.
