A few days later, Yun Fan broke through to the third realm of Saint Ancestor without any warning.
For him, it wasn't a surprise, was it? After all, he was unique in all the three thousand great worlds.
Others needed to undergo tribulation to break through, but he directly skipped this step, which was quite heaven-defying.
However, all along the way, no matter how heaven-defying things were, they seemed ordinary to him. This was the self-perception of a pervert.
In the eyes of other martial artists, he was a pervert.
Just like Nie Chang before him, she personally witnessed Yun Fan break through to the third realm of Saint Ancestor.
"Husband, you've broken through?"
She looked at Yun Fan in disbelief.
In her opinion, it would take Yun Fan at least several years to break through. After all, at this level, it would take at least a hundred years for ordinary people to go from preparation to breakthrough.
It was impossible without a hundred years, and that was only if they could break through; if they couldn't, they would die.
She never expected Yun Fan to achieve such an incredible feat in such a short period. Even if she halved the time, it was impossible to break through so quickly!
For others, reaching this realm meant facing a life-or-death test for every breakthrough.
It could be said that out of ten Saint Ancestor second-realm powerhouses, at least nine would die when breaking through to the third realm.
This was the cruel reality; otherwise, there wouldn't be so few Saint Ancestor powerhouses in the three thousand great worlds.
Moreover, it wasn't that the Saint Ancestors lacked the strength to break through to a higher level, but they dared not take the risk. Since it was a life-or-death situation, it was not worth gambling.
Therefore, many Saint Ancestors chose to settle after breaking through to the first realm and dared not risk further breakthroughs.
Even she herself, when breaking through to this realm, almost died. Fortunately, she had the Heavenly Gu Battle Body to protect her.
Thus, she was able to escape this crisis.
But Yun Fan was different. Because he was a pervert, he faced almost zero risk when breaking through.
She saw him break through without any danger.
Moreover, had Yun Fan skipped some steps in his breakthrough? She had prepared so many formations just to help Yun Fan avoid the danger of tribulation during his breakthrough. Of course, her preparations were only auxiliary.
After all, to undergo tribulation, one's own physique was the key; otherwise, nothing else mattered.
She never expected Yun Fan's breakthrough to be so smooth, directly skipping this part.
Wasn't this too perverse? Of course, for Lin Tianxin and Zi Xuan, they were already accustomed to it.
It was just that she and Yun Fan had not known each other for long, which was why she was so moved.
Yun Fan smiled and said, "It was a fluke, a breakthrough by fluke!"
If this was considered a fluke, was there any justice left? Without a doubt, Nie Chang found this very speechless.
It was very awkward.
However, at this moment, she had nothing to say. The stronger Yun Fan became, the happier she was.
After all, Yun Fan was her everything.
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "Wife, you've recovered quite quickly too!"
He could see that Nie Chang had also made rapid progress during this period of recovery and had returned to the third realm of Saint Ancestor.
Such speed surprised Yun Fan.
But he quickly realized that there was a reason for Nie Chang's rapid recovery.
Nie Chang possessed the Heavenly Gu Battle Body, second only to his. Those who specialized in physique and bloodline had the fastest recovery.
Therefore, Nie Chang could stand out from her recovery.
What was initially surprising was no longer so surprising.
At this moment, Nie Chang said, "Isn't this all thanks to my husband!"
"I think I can still help you further!"
Yun Fan smiled playfully and pounced on Nie Chang.
"No... no!"
Nie Chang outwardly refused, but her body was honest.
After Yun Fan had completely subdued her, he helped her up.
It had to be said that at this moment, the sticky substance was dripping non-stop, but for Nie Chang, this was definitely the best way to recover.
She did not waste it but made perfect use of it.
At this moment, Yun Fan asked, "Do we need to go back to the Heavenly Gu world now?"
"No!"
Nie Chang said, "I want to see my sister and confess our relationship to her!"
"Will she not forgive me?"
This was Nie Chang's real concern.
"No, absolutely not!"
Yun Fan said, "She's not that kind of person!"
"That's good!"
Nie Chang said directly, "Husband, if she doesn't forgive me, you must speak up for me!"
"No problem, it's on me!"
Yun Fan nodded.
At this point, Nie Chang knew that even if Lin Tianxin didn't forgive her, she would still be with Yun Fan.
Indeed, after obtaining Yun Fan, her mindset had changed. As long as she was firm in her convictions, there was nothing to worry about.
For example, Yun Fan was her man, and she had to remain firm. If she constantly cared about others' opinions, she would live a tiring life.
It had to be said that Nie Chang's mindset had completely changed.
At this moment, Yun Fan said to her, "Wife, will we encounter that pseudo-emperor again on our journey?"
The pseudo-emperor who attacked them before had launched an attack across many worlds and almost killed Yun Fan.
If it weren't for Nie Chang, he would have died on the spot.
Therefore, even now, he still felt a lingering fear.
Nie Chang said, "With our combined strength, escaping won't be a problem!"
"I think so too!"
Yun Fan said firmly.
"However, I have no idea about the next realm of the pseudo-emperor!"
Yun Fan told Nie Chang about his situation.
Because he found that the path he was on seemed to have reached its end, and he seemed to have reached the limit of the realm.
This was his current doubt. Nie Chang, on the other hand, had broken through the realm of the pseudo-emperor. Therefore, he sought Nie Chang's advice at this moment.
Nie Chang said, "Husband, it's correct for you to have this mindset!"
"What do you mean?"
As Yun Fan looked at her with confusion, she immediately said to him, "Because the third realm is the end of the realms you know. Beyond that, you need to comprehend it yourself. For example, in the realm of the pseudo-emperor, some are strong and some are weak. This is due to differences in comprehension! Therefore, their strength varies greatly, and even among pseudo-emperors, the gap is obvious!"
This was Nie Chang's explanation.
Yun Fan understood. For example, when Zi Xuan was still the Tai Qing Heavenly Lady, her comprehension of the pseudo-emperor realm had already reached the pinnacle.
It was a realm of undeniable superiority. She fought four pseudo-emperors alone and killed two of them. If it weren't for him, Bi Luo would have also perished.
This was the difference between pseudo-emperors. Yun Fan didn't understand why Zi Xuan was so outstanding among pseudo-emperors before.
Now he knew that it was due to differences in comprehension, which led to such a significant gap.
Undeniably, Zi Xuan was too powerful. It could be said that Zi Xuan was definitely the strongest existence among pseudo-emperors.
Even if he had the opportunity to break through to the pseudo-emperor realm in the future, he might not be Zi Xuan's match within the same realm.
Therefore, in Yun Fan's opinion, comprehension was crucial.
At this moment, he asked Nie Chang, "Wife, are there any signs before breaking through to the pseudo-emperor realm?"
"No!"
Nie Chang said, "There are no signs for this realm. It depends on one's own comprehension. As long as you comprehend it, you can enter the pseudo-emperor realm, because the pseudo-emperor realm has no fixed rules or patterns!"
This was Nie Chang's reminder to Yun Fan.
Yun Fan nodded and said, "I understand. I will slowly comprehend it from now on!"
He had the Heavenly Emperor Scripture, but for him, the Heavenly Emperor Scripture was not the path he was taking, but merely a reference, or even a comparison.
In his opinion, he had to surpass the Heavenly Emperor Scripture in every aspect to be considered qualified. At the very least, he had to be on par; otherwise, he would be a failure.
Of course, there was no need to rush comprehension now, as he had only just broken through to the third realm.
Next, his goal was to consolidate the third realm of Saint Ancestor before comprehending further.
"Then, do you have any signs of breaking through to the Heavenly Emperor realm?"
Yun Fan was very curious. If the pseudo-emperor realm was this difficult, the Heavenly Emperor realm would likely be even more so.
Nie Chang smiled wryly, "Husband, you're thinking too much. Since ancient times in the three thousand great worlds, there have been no less than dozens of pseudo-emperor powerhouses. Although most of them have died, only one Heavenly Emperor has ever stepped out of this realm! Moreover, the Heavenly Emperor realm is not a designation of a realm, but rather the Heavenly Emperor stepped out of a realm beyond that of a pseudo-emperor, hence the realm being named after him. If you, husband, can reach this realm one day, you can completely name this realm with another name!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan understood. So the reason the Heavenly Emperor realm was called that was because the Heavenly Emperor had reached this realm, and he had named the realm after himself.
It wasn't that the name of this realm was Heavenly Emperor.
But he also understood that reaching this realm was truly difficult.
Out of dozens of pseudo-emperors, only one Heavenly Emperor had reached this realm. One could imagine that the difficulty was absolutely top-tier.
Compared to the breakthrough from Saint Ancestor to pseudo-emperor, the gap was self-evident.
Although he was still far from this point, it was not difficult to guess how difficult this realm was.
For example, Zi Xuan and Lin Tianxin, they were once such astounding existences, yet they couldn't break through this realm. One could imagine how difficult this realm was.
At this moment, Nie Chang said again, "Husband, don't be discouraged. For you, there is still a long way to go, but you are the most talented person I have ever seen!"
This was Nie Chang's evaluation of Yun Fan. Nie Chang had never met the distant Heavenly Emperor and didn't know how strong his talent was.
But among the people Yun Fan had met since he started cultivating, he was the most talented.
Yun Fan felt a little embarrassed by this evaluation, not knowing if Nie Chang was praising him or stating a fact.
However, in Yun Fan's opinion, it was mostly praise.
Afterward, the two left the Heavenly Sacred Continent.
As expected, after leaving the Heavenly Sacred Continent, the pseudo-emperor who had ambushed them appeared.
"Kid, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
The powerhouse of the Immortal Dao Curse smiled playfully.
Although it was not his true body, but just a clone, it was undeniable that with the enhancement of his main body, this clone was also powerful.
Although it couldn't reach the level of a true pseudo-emperor, it was still stronger than a Saint Ancestor third-realm.
Yun Fan knew that they would definitely encounter this pseudo-emperor-level existence. He never expected the other party to show up.
At this moment, Nie Chang said coldly, "Old bastard, when I recover to my peak, it will be your death day!"
"Hahahaha!"
He laughed loudly, "You won't have a chance, because you will die at the hands of my Xuan Ming today!"
"Xuan Ming?"
Yun Fan was shocked because, in his memory, Zi Xuan had told him about the four pseudo-emperor-level powerhouses of the Immortal Dao Curse lineage.
None of them were named Xuan Ming, which was unexpected.
At this moment, Nie Chang said, "Husband, he is a cursed pseudo-emperor from my era!"
As soon as she said this, Yun Fan understood. Since they were from the same era, it was not surprising.
Because their era was much older than Zi Xuan's era.
"I didn't expect you to still be alive!"
Xuan Ming smiled playfully.
"Aren't you still alive either?"
Nie Chang looked at him coldly.
"It's because I was destined not to die!"
Xuan Ming said, "Although you shattered my divine soul back then, I recovered under the nourishment of the powerful Immortal Dao Curse! Although my main body cannot appear, even this clone is not something you can resist!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan realized that the two had fought before countless years ago. It seemed that Nie Chang had gained the upper hand.
However, due to the unique nature of the Immortal Dao Curse, Cang Ming recovered faster than Nie Chang.
At this moment, Nie Chang said, "I could shatter you back then, and I can kill you now!"
"Overestimating yourself!"
Xuan Ming said, "In this era, I have surpassed you. What can you fight me with?"
Nie Chang was extremely angry. If she had obtained Yun Fan earlier, this mere Xuan Ming would have been nothing.
Just then, Nie Chang decisively attacked, striking at Xuan Ming's clone.
Xuan Ming sneered and began to fight Nie Chang directly.
However, Nie Chang had only just recovered to the third realm. Clearly, she was no match for Xuan Ming. After a few exchanges, she became indignant.
Because at present, she was not suitable for displaying the Heavenly Gu Battle Body.
At this moment, she said to Yun Fan, "Husband, why don't we retreat first? Escaping is not a problem, I am not his opponent!"
If she were at her peak, even Xuan Ming's main body would have to kneel, but unfortunately, she could not reach her peak now.
Seeing this, Yun Fan immediately said, "Wife, don't worry, I think I can fight him, and it's a good opportunity to test how strong my combat power is!"
"Okay!"
Nie Chang nodded. She knew that Yun Fan was lacking a sparring partner. Therefore, she did not stop him.
As someone who also excelled in physique and bloodline, she knew how important sparring was. Therefore, at this moment, she supported Yun Fan on this path.
As expected, at this moment, Yun Fan stepped forward. SuDan Novel Network
"Xuan Ming, I'll deal with you!"
"Kid, although you are monstrous and the first to resist my Immortal Dao Curse since ancient times, you are far inferior to me!"
Xuan Ming smiled playfully. "However, it is precisely because of this that you absolutely cannot live!"
Although Yun Fan was not a threat to the powerful Immortal Dao Curse now, if Yun Fan were allowed to continue growing, it would be difficult to say.
Perhaps one day, when Yun Fan truly broke through to the pseudo-emperor realm, it would be very difficult for the Immortal Dao Curse lineage to eliminate Yun Fan.
Unless the Heavenly Emperor awakened.
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "That may not be true! As long as it's not your main body, I think I can!"
"Is that so?"
Xuan Ming smiled playfully, "Then I will let you know what a gap is!"
He attacked with his full power from the start, intending to crush Yun Fan in one move. His main target was Yun Fan.
Nie Chang was merely a bonus, because even if Nie Chang recovered to her peak, the Immortal Dao Curse lineage had ways to deal with her.
But Yun Fan was different, so Yun Fan had to die first. As for Nie Chang, she could be taken away as well.
Seeing this, Yun Fan directly released his Heavenly Combat Body, and the powerful bloodline power clashed head-on with the opponent.
"Boom!"
Instantly, an explosion occurred between the two, with the potential to destroy the heavens and the earth. Fortunately, Yun Fan quickly stabilized it.
In this move, the two were actually evenly matched.
"What?"
Xuan Ming was greatly alarmed by this result. Although he was only using a clone, he was clear about his strength.
That was to instantly kill a Saint Ancestor third-realm powerhouse, which was not a big problem, as fighting Yun Fan was different from fighting Nie Chang.
When fighting Yun Fan, he had unleashed his peak power!
He never expected that this move, when used against Yun Fan, would not gain any advantage. On the contrary, Yun Fan appeared calm and composed.
It was completely beyond his expectations.
Let alone him, even Nie Chang was greatly moved. She clearly saw the direct clash between the two.
Although Yun Fan had a significant gap in realm and strength compared to Xuan Ming, he was able to clash head-on with Xuan Ming.
It was completely beyond her expectations. From the feedback of this move, Yun Fan's strength seemed to be far greater than she had imagined.
Even at the Saint Ancestor realm, he was so strong. She wondered what kind of existence he would be after breaking through to the pseudo-emperor realm.
At that time, all pseudo-emperors would probably be insignificant in front of Yun Fan.
Yun Fan did not activate the Devouring Flame because he knew it was not the right time. He had to wait for the best opportunity to release it and take down Xuan Ming's clone.
If he released it prematurely, Xuan Ming, with his strength, could easily evade it.
At this moment, Xuan Ming said, "You kid are indeed monstrous, but for me, I can unleash countless peak moves, and you cannot resist them forever!"
At this moment, Xuan Ming took the opportunity to seal off this world, meaning Yun Fan had only two paths to choose to survive.
The first path was to defeat him, and the second path was to die.
Although Nie Chang was worried, Yun Fan still appeared calm and composed. It was not that simple to kill him.
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "Then you can continue to attack! See if I can withstand you?"
Yun Fan was very confident in his own strength, so he was not afraid of Xuan Ming, who was always at his peak.
"Very good, I will let you know what it means to be someone beyond someone, and there is always heaven beyond heaven!"
Instantly, Xuan Ming attacked again.
Another move with destructive power capable of instantly killing a Saint Ancestor. Yun Fan gathered all his strength and condensed a shield. Although the shield shattered, he himself was unharmed.
At this moment, Xuan Ming's eyes narrowed. Yun Fan's defense was beyond his imagination.
However, he still had a backup plan, continuously channeling the Immortal Dao Curse into his clone.
At this moment, his clone's Immortal Dao Curse had reached its limit. If he continued to channel it, his clone would explode.
It could be said that his clone had reached its peak strength.
He didn't believe that his strongest clone couldn't handle a mere Saint Ancestor, even though Yun Fan had indeed reached the peak of the Saint Ancestor realm.
But this did not change the fact that Yun Fan was still a Saint Ancestor.
At this moment, he condensed the power of the Immortal Dao Curse and launched his ultimate attack directly at Yun Fan.
"Don't you have amazing defense? Let's see how you can defend now?"
He said disdainfully to Yun Fan. This time, he was confident that even with Yun Fan's incredible defense, he would perish.
"Husband, be careful!"
Nie Chang was about to use her Heavenly Gu power to help Yun Fan resist, but Yun Fan gestured for her not to help.
Helpless, Nie Chang could only watch with worry, hoping that Yun Fan would not be in any danger this time.
At this moment, Yun Fan made his move. He abandoned defense and concentrated all his strength on attack.
He had said he would clash head-on, so how could he back down?
Neither Nie Chang nor Xuan Ming expected this outcome. When did Yun Fan become so fierce?
The next moment, all of Yun Fan's power was condensed into a drop of blood. Although this drop of blood looked ordinary,
it was his Heavenly Combat Blood, his ultimate attack.
Boom!
When the two forces collided, they canceled each other out, but Yun Fan unexpectedly lost.
His body was sent flying backward, almost shattering.
"See? This is the gap between an ant and heaven!"
Xuan Ming sneered. In front of him, Yun Fan was nothing.
However, in the next moment, a drop of blood suddenly pierced his body.
"Ah!"
Xuan Ming let out a scream, watching helplessly as the blood pierced his body.
Even the Immortal Dao Curse was almost destroyed by this drop of blood.
"Damn it!"
Xuan Ming did not expect that a mere drop of blood could have such terrifying destructive power. He could not accept this reality.
But the facts were before him. Even if he couldn't accept it, he had to. After all, the Heavenly Combat bloodline was a counter to the Immortal Dao Curse.
At this moment, Yun Fan slowly got up, "Xuan Ming, if this is all you've got, then you've truly disappointed me!"
"You..."
Xuan Ming had never suffered such humiliation. However, this blow had already sealed his defeat.
He roared at Yun Fan, "Kid, I will let you know that the gap between you and me is insurmountable!"
The next moment, he withdrew his seal on Yun Fan and channeled all the formations onto himself.
That's right, he didn't care if Yun Fan would escape now, because in his opinion, Yun Fan would definitely not escape.
In fact, Yun Fan had no intention of escaping. He had to personally destroy this whetstone to prove himself.
Looking at Xuan Ming, with the reinforcement of these formations, he once again reached his peak.
"This old fellow has quite a few tricks!"
Yun Fan was not moved at all, but he had to admit that Xuan Ming was not without his merits.
Even though it was just a clone, it was quite surprising. No wonder he dared to fight against a peak Nie Chang.
Although he was defeated by Nie Chang without sustaining any injuries, he had to admit that this old fellow was not simple to have survived to this era.
Although he was only in a weakened state, Yun Fan was not worried at all.
"Husband, you've entered a weakened state. Let's leave quickly!"
Nie Chang knew that this was a good opportunity to escape, but Yun Fan said, "No need, I've been waiting for this!"
"What?"
Nie Chang was surprised. She couldn't believe what Yun Fan meant by waiting for this. He was already so weak, yet he was waiting for this moment.
However, for Nie Chang, she had to trust Yun Fan unconditionally. After all, in her opinion, Yun Fan's confidence was definitely backed by something.
Even Xuan Ming disdainfully said, "Kid, you're too arrogant. You're like a sick cat in front of me now. What can you do to fight me?"
"Xuan Ming! Since you know I am your Immortal Dao Curse's bane, you should know my methods!"
Yun Fan said confidently, "Next, I will show you what methods are!"
Before Xuan Ming could react, Yun Fan suddenly activated the Devouring Flames.
The next moment, Xuan Ming's body began to burn.
"Ah!"
Xuan Ming let out a scream. That's right, he finally realized that although Yun Fan's combat power was monstrous, it was not the most terrifying thing to him.
The most terrifying was the Devouring Flames. No one could escape from the Devouring Flames, not even his clone.
At his realm, the Devouring Flames on his surface would not threaten him, but he didn't realize that Yun Fan had made arrangements beforehand.
When that drop of blood passed through his body, the outcome was already sealed, but he just didn't realize it.
Now that he realized it, it seemed too late.
Nie Chang also reacted. She finally understood why Yun Fan didn't leave. It turned out that Yun Fan didn't leave for a reason.
Yun Fan's ambitions had always been great. He didn't just want to defeat Xuan Ming; he wanted to absorb all the power of Xuan Ming's clone.
It could be said that when they thought Yun Fan was only on the third level, Yun Fan had already reached the seventh level.
This was the result Yun Fan wanted.
At this moment, no matter how he dodved, he couldn't escape. However, Xuan Ming was not despairing.
After all, this was just his clone. As long as the main body was fine, he could afford to lose one clone.
He glared at Yun Fan and cursed, "Kid, I underestimated you in the end!"
"Hmph!"
Yun Fan snorted, "It's more than just underestimation. Xuan Ming, you ambushed me before, and now your clone cannot be kept!"
"I can afford to lose one clone!"
Xuan Ming said coldly, "Compared to knowing your uniqueness, losing one clone is nothing!"
"Is that so?"
Yun Fan activated the Devouring Flames and madly swallowed Xuan Ming's power.
In the moment before his clone dissipated, Xuan Ming threatened Yun Fan, "Kid, soon it will be your doomsday. My Immortal Dao Curse lineage is invincible!"
"There is no invincible power!"
Yun Fan said, "It's just that you haven't encountered a stronger existence yet!"
"And I was born to destroy your Immortal Dao Curse!"
"Presumptuous!"
Xuan Ming said coldly, "The strength of my Immortal Dao Curse is beyond your imagination. Everything you see is just the tip of the iceberg!"
The next moment, Xuan Ming's clone was completely destroyed, and all his power was obtained by Yun Fan.
At this moment, Nie Chang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Husband, are you alright?"
After all, Yun Fan had been injured before. If his injuries were too severe, she would use her previous method to help Yun Fan recover.
She would sacrifice her own power to fulfill Yun Fan.
Yun Fan said, "It's nothing serious. These injuries are nothing compared to the gains!"
"Mmm-hmm!"
Nie Chang breathed a sigh of relief.
For her, as long as Yun Fan was alright, nothing else mattered.
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "Alright, don't worry about me. However, this Xuan Ming is really something. It seems the Immortal Dao Curse lineage is not as simple as we imagined!"
Nie Chang said, "It's definitely not that simple. The Immortal Dao Curse lineage has developed to this point, and there must be countless experts. But none of that matters. As long as the Heavenly Emperor doesn't awaken, they won't be able to stir up much trouble!"
Nie Chang's words were not baseless. One must know that this era had gathered too many powerhouses.
For example, herself, Heavenly Profound Saintess, Tai Qing Heavenly Lady, and in the Immortal Dao Curse lineage, Heart of Curse and Bi Luo.
Even if the Heart of Curse was still a Saint Ancestor, she, like Yun Fan, was a prodigy born in this era.
Therefore, they also had a significant advantage.
"Mmm!"
Yun Fan said, "As long as I can break through to the pseudo-emperor realm, the pseudo-emperors of the Immortal Dao Curse lineage will not be a threat!"
"Husband, the pseudo-emperor realm cannot be broken through overnight. Before you break through, we will protect your cultivation!"
"Okay!"
Afterward, the two returned to the Great Thousand World with their gains.
Upon seeing Nie Chang again, Lin Tianxin asked in confusion, "Didn't you go back already?"
"I went back before, but now I've decided to stay!"
Nie Chang said directly.
At this moment, she and Lin Tianxin were alone. It was clear that they both had something to say.
"What made you decide to stay?"
Lin Tianxin asked in confusion. Nie Chang seemed to have something to say to her before, and perhaps this was why Nie Chang stayed.
"Sister, I am ashamed of you. I hope you can forgive me!"
Nie Chang directly showed weakness, which caught Lin Tianxin off guard.
"How are you ashamed of me?"
Lin Tianxin asked in confusion. Of course, at this moment, she didn't say whether she would forgive or not.
After all, she needed to understand the situation clearly before deciding whether to forgive or not; otherwise, nothing else mattered.
Nie Chang hesitated for a long time, then finally said, "Because Yun Fan and I have already..."
Before she could finish, Lin Tianxin interjected, "Already shared glue."
"Mmm!"
Nie Chang nodded heavily. She was sure she would be scolded by Lin Tianxin and even kicked out.
But she had no regrets. Before, she lacked the courage to take this step, but after truly taking it, she realized how joyful this step was.
Lin Tianxin was immediately speechless, "It's just this trivial matter, and you say you are ashamed of me!"
"What?"
This time, it was Nie Chang's turn to be stunned. Wasn't this a big deal? Although it wasn't outright stealing her man, her actions were indeed inappropriate, as it was equivalent to sharing with Lin Tianxin.
Lin Tianxin said, "Don't worry! I don't blame you!"
"Why?"
This time, it was Nie Chang's turn to be taken aback.
Lin Tianxin said, "Because even if it weren't you who did this, it would be someone else! So, for me, as long as it's you, at least you're still one of us. The water doesn't flow to outsiders!"
"Uh..."
Nie Chang was very surprised. She never expected such an outcome.
At this moment, Lin Tianxin continued, "Let me put it this way: Husband is a man who flirts around. Of course, most of the time, it's not his initiative, but even if he's not proactive, he will flirt around. So, I'm used to it. It doesn't matter if you add one more or one less!"
"What?"
Nie Chang was completely bewildered. She had prepared to face an awkward situation, but it ended in such a way.
Undoubtedly, for her, this was completely unexpected.
"Sister, aren't you going to manage it?"
Nie Chang asked in confusion.
"Manage?"
Lin Tianxin said, "How to manage? After all, it's not his fault. No matter how much we manage, this situation will still occur. So, there's no need for it. Just go with the flow!"
Nie Chang was completely relieved.
Afterward, Lin Tianxin said, "Besides, I still support you being with him. After all, this will prevent you from having any thoughts about me, right?"
Instantly, Nie Chang's face turned red. She had indeed liked Lin Tianxin before and admired her to the extreme.
But after breaking through that step with Yun Fan, she realized that happiness was endless, and she just hadn't discovered it before.
Soon, the two of them clarified everything, and there was nothing major to worry about.
Yun Fan saw that Nie Chang didn't call him and knew that the two of them had already resolved everything, and he was no longer needed.
Therefore, at this moment, he began to refine Xuan Ming's power.
It had to be said that Xuan Ming's power was immense. Although it was just a clone, before activating the Devouring Flames, he had "fattened" it up.
So, the benefits he received were naturally beyond words.
After refining the power, the most direct feeling was that he had indeed become stronger, but he still had no clue about the so-called pseudo-emperor realm.
After all, this realm completely depended on self-comprehension and could not be achieved overnight. Of course, this was the normal pace.
But for someone like him who cheated, these paces could be accelerated, if not skipped entirely.
The simplest method was to refer to the Heavenly Emperor Scripture.
At this moment, he began to read the insights on the Heavenly Emperor Scripture regarding the Saint Ancestor to Pseudo-Emperor realm. To his surprise, the result astonished Yun Fan.
The Heavenly Emperor Scripture was perfect, so perfect that Yun Fan not only couldn't find fault with it but also couldn't think of such a method.
If he had been a frog in a well before, then now, his vision had definitely broadened.
"Very good!"
Yun Fan showed a look of infatuation at this moment. He even wanted to directly copy the Heavenly Emperor Scripture for a quick breakthrough.
But he also knew that the path he was taking was definitely not the Heavenly Emperor's path, although their ultimate goal was the same: to surpass the pseudo-emperor.
But Yun Fan knew that he was destined to have a decisive battle with the Heavenly Emperor in the future. Of course, this was just his current speculation.
Whether he had the qualification for a decisive battle with the Heavenly Emperor depended on his talent and strength.
If he truly had a decisive battle with the Heavenly Emperor and took the Heavenly Emperor's path, he would definitely perish. It was not that he looked down on the Heavenly Emperor's path; in fact, he knew how amazing that path was.
It was because he didn't want his path to be controlled by the Heavenly Emperor. At that time, he would have no chance of winning in a fight against the Heavenly Emperor.
If all his paths were controlled by others, it would be no different from seeking death.
Therefore, this was the current best test for Yun Fan.
He knew that if he took the Heavenly Emperor's path, with the answer readily available, he would dare to strive for the pseudo-emperor realm within ten years at most.
But by taking this path, unless he could surpass the Heavenly Emperor in the future, he would only be his shadow.
At any time the Heavenly Emperor awakened, he could destroy him.
Therefore, at this moment, Yun Fan directly abandoned this shortcut.
Of course, it was not entirely without effect. In fact, the effect exceeded his expectations.
He could completely follow this model and pattern and take a completely opposite path. Of course, this opposite path had to suppress this model; otherwise, it would all be in vain.
For Yun Fan, this was also a significant gain and summary.
In the following years, he immersed himself in studying the Heavenly Emperor Scripture, indifferent to worldly affairs.
He didn't know how long had passed. When he opened his eyes again, he found that his beard was long enough to reach the ground.
His hair was also incredibly long.
It was evident that a long time had passed.
At this moment, he casually released a force, shaving off his hair and beard, dusting himself off, and walked out.
"Husband, you're out of seclusion!"
At this moment, five women surrounded him. During this period, they had been recovering their strength while keeping an eye on Yun Fan's movements.
He never expected that Yun Fan would finally come out of seclusion today.
"Mmm-hmm!"
Yun Fan nodded, then asked, "How much time has passed outside?"
"Twenty years!"
Although it felt like a blink of an eye to them, it had still passed a long time in Yun Fan's eyes.
For these twenty years, he had been comprehending the Heavenly Emperor Scripture and constantly evolving a diametrically opposed path.
The process was smooth, but Yun Fan was not satisfied because although the path was laid out, it could not suppress the Heavenly Emperor's path.
At best, it could be on par with the Heavenly Emperor's path. Although being on par was already monstrous and he had achieved what no one before him could, for Yun Fan, this was clearly not up to standard. Only surpassing it would be considered success.
Afterward, he asked the women about the movements of the Immortal Dao Curse and learned that the Immortal Dao Curse had gathered a large army, indicating that they might make a move within the next few decades.
For Yun Fan, time was indeed tight.
Then, he told the women about his current predicament. The women were deep in thought and wanted to share Yun Fan's burden.
However, it was clear that they were also frowning with worry.
At this moment, the Heart of Curse weakly reminded him, "Husband, your path cannot suppress it. Have you forgotten that your Heavenly Combat bloodline is the bane of the Immortal Dao Curse, and the Heavenly Emperor is the source of the Immortal Dao Curse!"
"What?"
Yun Fan immediately reacted. The simplest solution had been directly overlooked by him.
