"Why are you staring at me like that?!"

Seeing Xiao Ming's unwavering gaze, Feng Xianhuang couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

Could it be...

Did this guy notice the movement of the Chaotic Yin-Yang Scale just now?!

Impossible!

This is a supreme treasure born from chaos.

Even a Great Emperor would find it difficult to detect any clues!

"Did you... do something to me?"

After a moment of silence, Xiao Ming asked.

This made Feng Xianhuang's pupils slightly contract, looking at Xiao Ming with some suspicion.

Could it be that this guy can really sense the movement of the Chaotic Yin-Yang Scale?!

No, that can't be right.

If he could really sense it, he would have rushed over to fight her, rather than bother to ask.

Thinking this, Feng Xianhuang frowned, a trace of doubt appearing on her face.

"I don't understand what you're saying."

"You and I have similar cultivation levels, and we're several meters apart. What could I possibly do to you?"

As she spoke, Feng Xianhuang turned the tables, her tone suddenly shifting.

"But you..."

"You've been glaring at me fiercely since just now. I should be asking what you intend to do to me."

"......"

Hearing Feng Xianhuang's words, Xiao Ming's mouth twitched slightly.

What does she mean by fiercely?

That's called being cautious and observant!

It's dangerous for a man like him to be wandering outside. Not long ago, he was almost seduced by a fairy, and out of momentary compassion, he nearly lost his innocence.

Then he encountered a demoness from a demonic sect, who almost had him wrapped around her finger.

Now, facing this reborn empress, shouldn't he be a bit more careful and vigilant?

Who knows what this woman might be planning against him.

"System, was there something strange watching me just now?"

After venting internally, Xiao Ming couldn't be bothered to argue with Feng Xianhuang and directly asked the system.

"Ding! A blessing is coming..."

Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

"? ! ?"

Hearing the system's response, Xiao Ming was bewildered.

A blessing? Where?

Why didn't he feel anything?!

Could it be referring to the woman in front of him, who might cook, wash his feet, massage him, or even warm his bed and bear a few children in the future?

Feeling puzzled, Xiao Ming continued to probe.

But the darn system started playing dead, leaving Xiao Ming feeling a bit bored and unwilling to second-guess himself.

He merely glanced at Feng Xianhuang before preparing to head to Fuyou Sacred Land.

"Wait, are you planning to go to Fuyou Sacred Land?"

Just as Xiao Ming was about to leave, Feng Xianhuang suddenly called out to him, making Xiao Ming turn back in confusion.

"Fuyou Sacred Land opens its assessment every three years. If you miss the assessment period, you'll need a token to join midway."

"I happen to have an elder's token. If you don't mind, I can take you along..."

Seeing Xiao Ming's puzzled expression, Feng Xianhuang offered kindly.

"No need, I have one too..."

Hearing Feng Xianhuang's words, Xiao Ming declined her offer.

Offering help without reason, either a traitor or a thief!

This is a reborn empress, after all. Shouldn't she be proud and aloof?

Such unusual behavior must have a motive. Could she be after his body?!

"Don't misunderstand."

"I just wanted to thank you for your help earlier. But since you also have a token, there's no need for me to go out of my way."

Being rejected by Xiao Ming, Feng Xianhuang didn't take it to heart and continued calmly.

"Of course, if you don't mind, we could travel together."

"Once we join Fuyou Sacred Land, we'll be fellow disciples..."

However, before Feng Xianhuang could finish her sentence, Xiao Ming had already used his movement technique to disappear into the forest, leaving Feng Xianhuang feeling a bit frustrated.

She never expected to be ignored by someone as an empress.

It was infuriating.

Gritting her teeth, feeling slightly aggrieved, Feng Xianhuang immediately followed.

She was already bound to Xiao Ming and couldn't let him get away. Adding a high-cold side profile of Feng Xianhuang, in a dark style, handsome...

Liuyun City, Xiao family.

In the forbidden area of the ancestral shrine, Xiao Ren sat cross-legged.

His bare upper body was covered with strange blood-red patterns, and beneath him was a mysterious and profound formation, with a spiritual herb floating above each node.

There were seven heavenly-grade spiritual herbs and twenty-one earth-grade spiritual herbs!

Heavenly-grade as the main, earth-grade as the auxiliary!

Around the formation, seven Tongtian Realm experts, including Xiao Tiance and several elders, were seated.

This was the Seven-Star Nirvana Formation!

It was brought by Xiao Ren from Taiyi Sacred Land.

It could use various precious body-refining herbs, combined with the power of seven Tongtian Realm experts, to perfectly integrate the medicinal power into the body of the refiner.

This was originally prepared for body refining of Tongtian Realm experts.

Those below the Tongtian Realm couldn't withstand such terrifying medicinal power.

However!

Xiao Ren possessed a Supreme Bone, the top physique in the Cangyuan Realm, with infinite potential to become a Saint or even a Great Emperor.

But Xiao Ren's Supreme Bone had not yet fully developed.

Currently, it was just a small prototype.

And today.

He intended to use the seven heavenly-grade spiritual herbs and twenty-one earth-grade spiritual herbs, with the help of the seven Tongtian Realm experts, to activate the Seven-Star Nirvana Formation and accelerate the nurturing of this Supreme Bone!

This was his main purpose for acknowledging his kin in the Xiao family!

"Activate the formation, refine the herbs!!"

With Xiao Tiance's low command, the other elders joined in forming seals, and the entire formation burst into light.

The medicinal power of the seven heavenly-grade main herbs and twenty-one earth-grade auxiliary herbs converged towards Xiao Ren along the formation lines.

Xiao Ren's skin instantly turned crimson, with veins bulging one after another.

He let out beast-like roars, as if enduring immense pain.

But his physical strength was gradually increasing.

A light burst from his chest, containing terrifying energy fluctuations like a great sun, as the Supreme Bone began to awaken and accelerate its development!

Moreover.

As the Supreme Bone accelerated its development, Xiao Ren's cultivation also began to soar.

Spirit Sea Realm, second level!

Spirit Sea Realm, third level!

……

In less than half an hour.

Xiao Ren's cultivation broke through to the fifth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, comparable to Xiao Ming's level before he abolished his own cultivation.

An hour later.

As all the herbs within the formation turned to ashes, a terrifying energy wave erupted from Xiao Ren, his cultivation reaching the eighth level of the Spirit Sea Realm!

This left Xiao Tiance and several elders of the Xiao family in shock and disbelief.

"Hahaha, as expected of the Supreme Bone, even in its initial development, it has such power."

"My son Xiao Ren... has the potential of a Great Emperor!!"

Seeing Xiao Ren in the center of the formation, steaming with heat and exuding a terrifying aura from his chest, Xiao Tiance couldn't help but laugh wildly.

He himself had no potential to become an Emperor, but he had such a promising son.

As long as Xiao Ren could become a Saint and prove himself as an Emperor, he, as the father, would also soar to great heights!

Not to mention the small Saint Realm, even the Saint King Realm might be possible!

"This is the Supreme Bone?"

"Hahahaha, from this moment on, I shall reign supreme, making all Saints tremble!!"

Feeling the power surging within him, far stronger than before by dozens of times.

Xiao Ren's body couldn't help but tremble, finally bursting into wild laughter.

Of course.

The Saints he referred to were not all Saint Realm experts, but the Saint Sons and Saintesses of the Eastern Region!

From this moment on.

No matter how monstrous those Saint Sons and Saintesses in the Sacred Land were, Xiao Ren would surely suppress them one by one!

This was the strong confidence the Supreme Bone gave him!

"By the way, have you found my dear brother?"

After laughing maniacally for a while, Xiao Ren suddenly looked at Xiao Tiance and asked.

"Not yet..."

Xiao Tiance shook his head in response.

"What a bunch of useless people!!"

"I don't care what means you use, you must find him as soon as possible!!"

Before Xiao Tiance could finish his sentence, Xiao Ren angrily interrupted.

"Remember, I want him alive!!"

"I want him to see with his own eyes how outstanding his brother is, what right does he have to compete with me, and how dare he lay a hand on me in front of everyone?!!"

A few days ago, Xiao Ming attacked him in the hall, which was a great humiliation in his life!

Even if the other party had become a cripple, he must wash away this shame!
