"Hey, why are you staring at me like that? Do you want to have another fight?"

Seeing Feng Xianhuang's intense gaze, Xiao Ming coughed lightly, eager to provoke.

If they were to fight again, he certainly wouldn't hold back this time.

He'd catch her and spank her hard, letting this female emperor know the might of her senior brother is not to be trifled with!

"You are indeed a tough opponent for me now, but I, Feng Xianhuang, will never lose to you!"

After Xiao Ming finished speaking, a complex expression flashed across Feng Xianhuang's face, but her voice was firm.

With that, Feng Xianhuang turned and left the cave dwelling without lingering.

Her heart was in turmoil, and she needed to calm down.

Earlier, she had suppressed Xiao Ming in their duel, boosting her confidence significantly.

She believed that in the comparison a month later, she would undoubtedly be the victor.

But now.

Xiao Ming had inexplicably awakened, not only breaking through to the ninth level of the Spirit Sea but also possessing such a mysterious Chaos True Fire.

If she made even the slightest mistake, she would inevitably lose to him in the comparison a month later.

This realization brought her unprecedented pressure!

"Did this woman get shaken?"

Watching Feng Xianhuang's departing figure, Xiao Ming's lips curled into a smile.

So what if she's a reborn female emperor?

Unless he deliberately let her win, it would be nearly impossible for her to defeat him.

However, Xiao Ming didn't dwell on it and sat down cross-legged to continue cultivating.

The Primal Fire Seed had transformed into Chaos True Fire, and he needed to quickly comprehend the art of fire control for it to be effective.

With this thought.

Xiao Ming took out the jade slip Feng Xianhuang had given him, and his soul sense immersed into it to comprehend the inheritance within.

"Burning Flame Controlling Fire Technique..."

"The myriad fires of the world, ever-changing, the way of fire can transform, derive, merge, split, and combine in multiple ways..."

As his soul sense delved in.

The inheritance within the jade slip continuously manifested as scriptures before Xiao Ming's eyes, making him feel as if he had entered a world constructed of flames, where the various applications of fire left him in awe.

With his transcendent comprehension greatly amplified, Xiao Ming quickly entered a state of epiphany.

Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation.

The Chaos True Fire transformed into small flames, constantly changing around Xiao Ming.

And as time passed, these changes became increasingly skillful.

Not only could they split into multiple individual flames, but they could also be arranged into complex formations, even evolving into various flame forms.

If Feng Xianhuang were to see this scene, her jaw would probably drop in shock.

Because the level of fire control Xiao Ming achieved in just an hour was something she had taken half a year to comprehend in her previous life!

An hour of epiphany, equivalent to half a year for others.

This cultivation efficiency was truly monstrous!

…………

Two and a half days passed in a blur.

As Xiao Ming and Feng Xianhuang joined Fuyou Sacred Land, their deeds began to spread throughout the Northern Profound Realm.

Many factions became aware.

Overnight, Fuyou Sacred Land gained two monstrous talents with the potential to become emperors.

Many Saint Sons and Saintesses from various sacred lands were filled with a strong fighting spirit, eager to challenge these two.

After all.

Defeating these two talents with emperor potential would not only elevate their fame and prestige but also boost their confidence.

Moreover.

As the situation unfolded.

The backgrounds of Xiao Ming and Feng Xianhuang were also unearthed.

Feng Xianhuang, the little princess of the Phoenix family, didn't have any particularly dramatic life experiences.

She was the darling of her family, with nothing much to gossip about.

However, it was revealed that Xiao Ming was a discarded child of his family.

Not only did he attempt to defile his cousin, framing his brother, but his father also crippled his cultivation and destroyed his constitution!

This piqued the interest of many factions.

With his cultivation crippled and constitution destroyed.

How did he manage to restore his cultivation in just a few days and possess the potential to climb 1,061 steps of the Fuyou Heavenly Ladder?

Clearly.

This so-called discarded child of the Xiao family must have some great fortune!

And surprisingly, Xiao Ming not only excelled himself but also had an outstanding brother!

His brother, Xiao Ren...

Was born with the Supreme Bone!

A few days ago, he not only underwent a transformation in the Xiao family, allowing the Supreme Bone to initially mature, but his cultivation also soared to the eighth level of the Spirit Sea.

Upon returning to Taiyi Sacred Land.

He passed the Taiyi Sacred Master's test, becoming a sequence Saint Son of Taiyi Sacred Land, and was even taken as a disciple by the Taiyi Sacred Master.

Receiving the Heavenly Transformation True Fire from the Taiyi Sacred Master, his cultivation broke through from the eighth to the ninth level of the Spirit Sea, just a step away from refining the Spirit Sea to open a Cave Heaven.

He was considered the most promising young supreme of this generation in Taiyi Sacred Land.

Also possessing emperor potential!

And according to insiders' speculation, Xiao Ren could have broken through to the first level of the Cave Heaven in one go after receiving the Taiyi Sacred Master's reward.

But for the upcoming trip to the Ghost Fiend Secret Realm in half a month.

To refine the Spirit Sea with the world's fiendish energy and create a perfect Cave Heaven, Xiao Ren had to suppress his realm at the ninth level of the Spirit Sea.

And his combat power.

Apart from the monstrous talents of the emperor-blooded clans, no peer in the Northern Profound Realm could match him!

Some even heard.

This brother with the Supreme Bone would soon visit Fuyou Sacred Land to seek justice from his brother and wash away the shame brought upon him!

This drew the attention of many talents.

All of them closely watched the developments at Fuyou Sacred Land, not wanting to miss this exciting sibling showdown.

Of course.

Xiao Ming was unaware of all this happening outside.

At this moment.

He was still immersed in cultivation.

After initially mastering the Burning Flame Controlling Fire Technique, he went to Feng Xianhuang to retrieve the Great Wilderness Prison Heaven Finger, once again immersing himself in the comprehension of the technique's divine powers.

…………

On the other side.

Fuyou Sacred Land, Jade Maiden Peak.

"Sister, you're finally back. I have something to discuss with you."

As a figure appeared in the grand hall, another figure emerged.

It was the Peak Master of Jade Maiden Peak, Ling Ruoxuan, and her sister, the Grand Elder of Jade Maiden Peak, Ling Ruoye. Ling Ruoye, the master of Su Qingyue and Yun Ling, hadn't yet had her role fully developed...

"What is it?"

"Is there a major issue at Jade Maiden Peak?"

Recalling the various spies surrounding Fuyou Sacred Land when she returned, Ling Ruoxuan frowned and asked.

"No, it's that two monstrous talents with emperor potential appeared at Fuyou Sacred Land a few days ago, both surpassing a thousand steps in the Fuyou Heavenly Ladder entrance test!"

"One is named Xiao Ming, and the other is Feng Xianhuang."

Hearing Ling Ruoye mention these two names, Ling Ruoxuan's pupils couldn't help but contract, and a figure instantly flashed in her mind.

Unexpectedly.

The young man she had an intimate encounter with a few days ago had managed to climb over a thousand steps on the Fuyou Heavenly Ladder, a feat much more dazzling than her own back then.

He truly lived up to being the young man she had slept with!

Thinking of this, Ling Ruoxuan's lips curled into a slight smile, causing Ling Ruoye to feel a bit puzzled.

"Sister, do you know that young man named Xiao Ming?"

"It's said that the token he used to participate in the Fuyou Sacred Land's test was the Peak Master Jade Pendant in your possession!"

"I do know him."

Ling Ruoxuan nodded upon hearing this, her gaze somewhat evasive.

"We met once in the vast mountain range. I had a bit of an accident, and he happened to help me out..."

"That's great! This makes things much easier!"

Hearing Ling Ruoxuan's words, Ling Ruoye's face lit up with joy.

"This guy turns out to be my disciple's fiancé, but he was unfortunately taken as a disciple by someone from Moonwatch Peak. My disciple returned and complained to me, wanting to find him..."

"What did you say?!!"

Before Ling Ruoye could finish her sentence, Ling Ruoxuan's expression changed dramatically, grabbing Ling Ruoye's shoulder.

"Xiao Ming is your disciple's fiancé?!"

Ling Ruoye had taken two disciples, one named Yun Ling and the other Su Qingyue.

Both had excellent potential, something she, as the Peak Master, was well aware of.

She never imagined that one of their fiancés would be Xiao Ming, with whom she had a relationship!

What a coincidence, indeed!
