”...” Yao Wuhen's eyes slowly took a measure of each and every individual present. Despite being at the initial-True Essence Realm, she didn't feel too secure. The emanating pressure from some of these people was so subtly intense that it felt suffocating. There were even a few experts from afar who would shot glances at her, or some more brazen ones simply stared at her with hot gazes. It truly felt uncomfortable.

She subtly edged closer to her group; her aura repressed to not draw any further attention.

”Oh? Is this an advance?” A beady-eyed, middle-aged with black spots doting his face chuckled at Yao Wuhen's actions. If one were at Sky Night Royal City during the fall of the Li Clan Patriarch, they would remember this particular man. He had floated in the skies speculating the battle but took no action. Similar to Yao Wuhen, it seemed he was complicit in the attack.

Yao Wuhen coldly snorted, but she didn't take her step back. As someone who recently ascended to the True Essence Realm, how could she be accustomed to meeting so many powerful experts? There were even giants that could rival small hills in the background, and their every action caused the ground to tremble slightly. It truly was a little overwhelming.

”Fu Jing, who would ever make an advance towards you?” An elderly woman coldly retorted. This was Xin Xiaoyu! Earlier, she was in the bidding war for the True Essence Sublimation Pill. Unfortunately, she lost.

Fu Jing didn't say anything, obviously wanting to avoid arguing with this woman. Witnessing this, Xin Xiaoyu coldly smirked. If people saw these two, they would think they were enemies, but they weren't.

Fu Jing had a cultivation base at the initial-True Essence Realm, and Xin Miaoyu only had a half-step True Essence cultivation base. If they were enemies, it would be too easy to rectify. By their difference in age-like appearance, one wouldn't expect that they grew up together.

Not only that, they were married for three thousand years!

However, due to cultivation differences, one looked rather middle-aged while the other was wrinkly like an elderly woman. In truth, this Fu Jing was only here because of Xin Xiaoyu. They were hoping to gain something heaven-defying pill or elixir which could help Xin Xiaoyu increase your cultivation base or longevity. Yao Wuhen, Fu Jing, and Xin Xiaoyu were a part of the Xin Clan's exploration team.

At the center of their group was a handsome young man with a converged aura, his eyes sparkling with each glance about. Dressed in a green robe, the symbol of 'Xin' was etched on its back. Despite his youthful appearance, he was the Xin Clan's Patriarch! His cultivation profound, not only in qi, but body and soul. Regarded as a genius when younger, he had the highest potential within the entirety of the Fallen Stars Continent to reach the late-True Essence Realm or higher.

Within another group originating from Presba, there were three individuals at the head. They were surrounded by dozens of experts ranging from the late-Origin Core to half-step True Essence Realm. Each of those experts donned peak earth-rank armor, their eyes beneath their helmets were fiercely trained and honed with battle intent.

The Royal Elite Army!

Besides them were the Imperial Commander - Dong Sei, Imperial Prosecutor - Dong Lin and Ancient Emperor - Dong Long.

”This exploration will be harder than I originally thought.” Dong Sei, the Imperial Prosecutor, said with a heavy frown. There were experts at the mid, late, and even peak-True Essence Realm amongst them, and they would all be fighting for resources and opportunities. With a single wrong step, they could very well leave their lives within this sub-realm.

However, the risk was worth it!

Dong Long had a calm expression, his gaze roaming about. ”We have an ally here. We shouldn't fear any particular force.” His words indicated many things. Despite this, Dong Sei didn't lose his frown but deepened it instead. Many forces have come to an agreement to ally themselves with others in an attempt to combat the stronger forces, but that only did so much. If their group had peak strength, they could obtain more opportunities.

However, while following the tail of another, it's unlikely they'll be able to obtain the highest benefits possible from this trip. That being said, it was still much safer. This was why the Ancient Emperor of their country had the courage to appear. The many imperial forces in the Xiantu Realm didn't send their greatest elites in fear of dying. Most only sent a few to garner benefits in this exploration, no matter how small.

Arriving next to the White Crane Sect, Yan Zaizen's eyes flickered. There were seven beautiful women with attires seemingly comprised of crane feathers. Their eyes shone with a unique pride that seemed overwhelming, for a split second, Yan Zaizen actually felt inferior. His dark-amber dao orb trembled slightly in response to this thought, but then his eyes lit up with a unyielding confidence in himself.

”A bestowed dao!” He silently thought, his eyes making a quick scan of their respective auras. They each had similar prideful appearances, obviously indicative of like-minded individuals. How could it be so consistent without a bestowed dao shared among them?

”The Dao of Unyielding Pride. Only a lower-tier Mortal Dao.” Pinaka remarked with traces of disdain flashing within her silver-blue eyes. In comparison, Yan Zaizen had the Dao of Sovereign Ascension - a peak upper-tier Mortal Dao. How could they compare?

The one at the lead was a refined woman, her body lithe, possessing bountiful peaks that drew ones gave towards that proudly displayed deep valley between, and she had a white crown with a blood-red stone inlaid at its center. It wasn't particularly bedazzling to the eyes, but it was a sharp contrast in comparison to the other women.

Guàn Cui, the leader of the seven, calmly glanced at Yan Zaizen. Noticing his extraordinary physical features, his exquisite physique that paired well with his outfit and a youthfully brilliant pair of eyes, she was a little astonished. Her eyes flickered with suspicion watching him approach.

Yan Zaizen arrived before them, his expression containing a trace of a smile filled with confidence, ”Greetings! I'm the one you hired, Yan Zaizen.” Guàn Cui eyes flashed with fleeting shock, giving Yan Zaizen another glance. She expected an elderly expert, not some young boy. One must remember, soul cultivation relied heavily on one's life experiences and comprehensions towards self-enlightenment. Typically, to reach a high-level in soul cultivation required constant years of self-reflection and personal progression.

Anyone who could reach a high realm should, theoretically, be old with wisdom suffusing their every gaze. However, this boy contained faint traces of developing intelligent, youthful vibrancy, and a confident demeanor. He held none of the normally expected wizened light or traveled posture. Her brows furrowed. She was skeptical.
