After hearing Ling Ruoxuan's words, Su Qingyue fell silent on the spot.
She hadn't expected that this Peak Master, after probing her feelings for Xiao Ming, would not feel the slightest jealousy or anger. Instead, she wanted to nurture her as much as possible.
All for the sake of...
So that she could keep up with Xiao Ming in the future and be worthy of this man?
What kind of magnanimity is this?
Even as his childhood sweetheart, who didn't mind Xiao Ming having other beauties, she couldn't compare to this Peak Master.
"Peak Master, do you... really like Brother Xiao Ming?"
Feeling a sense of admiration, Su Qingyue asked.
"......"
Upon hearing Su Qingyue's question, Ling Ruoxuan's expression suddenly froze, and a chill emanated from her.
"Who said I like him?!"
"That ungrateful scoundrel! If it weren't for his special status, I'd hang him up and whip him with a bone whip for a month!"
"......"
Sensing the resentment emanating from Ling Ruoxuan, Su Qingyue couldn't help but shiver.
She had a feeling...
Ling Ruoxuan wasn't joking.
If given the chance, she really would hang Xiao Ming up and whip him.
Could it be...
Because Brother Xiao Ming, after seeing Ling Ruoxuan help, didn't come to thank her, but instead flirted with Feng Xianhuang in the void?
After arriving at Jade Maiden Peak, she thought this scoundrel was here to see the Peak Master, only to find him flirting with his childhood sweetheart.
Is that why the resentment built up?
"By the way, the next time you meet him, don't mention me."
"I want to teach you cultivation, not to let your talent go to waste and weaken the reputation of Jade Maiden Peak."
Seeing Su Qingyue's eyes flicker, as if she was plotting something, Ling Ruoxuan frowned and warned coldly.
This surprised Su Qingyue.
The Peak Master's insight was so sharp; she had just thought of finding a chance to talk to Xiao Ming to make amends for the Peak Master.
Unexpectedly, the Peak Master saw through her.
"Alright, stop dawdling."
"Come with me."

"Your current cultivation is only at the seventh level of the Spirit Sea realm, which is a bit weak to participate in the Ghost Fiend Secret Realm."
"In the next few days, I'll use the lotus seeds of the Azure Blood Lotus, combined with some rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures, to help you develop your Taiyin Sacred Spirit Vein and teach you a Saint King technique to control yin energy."
"Your strength should reach the ninth level of the Spirit Sea realm, so you won't miss the trip to the Ghost Fiend Secret Realm."
"But whether you can forge a Cave Heaven with the five-colored fiend in the secret realm depends on your own fate and fortune."
"But there's one thing you must remember..."
"Once you enter the secret realm, never separate from that guy, and don't hold him back."
"......"
As her words echoed, Ling Ruoxuan walked into a secret chamber inside the grand hall, leaving Su Qingyue a bit bewildered.
This Peak Master truly had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, a typical cold outside but warm inside type.
She wondered how Brother Xiao Ming got to know Ling Ruoxuan, to make this Peak Master so dedicated.
…………
Meanwhile, at the Taiyi Sacred Land.
In a forbidden area inaccessible to ordinary people, a mysterious altar stood above a blood pool, surrounded by numerous rare spiritual herbs.
A terrifying energy fluctuation continuously permeated the void.
And on the altar, a figure was curled up, covered in blood and looking utterly miserable, with even the right hand and lower body missing.
Only a glow flickered in the collapsed chest, preserving a sliver of life for this person.
And this person was Xiao Ren, who had narrowly escaped death from the Fuyou Sacred Land, saved by Fire Cloud Old Ghost.
"Ancestor, do you really have a way to let me undergo Nirvana?"
"Not only to restore my broken body but also to integrate my Supreme Bone into every inch of my skeleton, transforming my physique from Supreme Bone to Supreme Body?"
Xiao Ren, curled up like a dying dog on the altar, couldn't help but show a look of ecstasy upon hearing Fire Cloud Old Ghost mention a way for him to undergo Nirvana and be reborn.
"No problem."
"This altar and blood pool were constructed by me, exhausting half of Taiyi Sacred Land's resources to prevent any unforeseen events."
"Even a Saint realm expert, if their body suffers irreparable damage, can recover using this blood pool."
"And you, born with a Supreme Bone, have a destined appearance and limitless physical potential."
"If you can use the power of the blood pool to break and rebuild, your physique will transform into something even more terrifying, making it difficult for even the sons and daughters of emperors to compete with you."
After Xiao Ren finished speaking, an old man sitting cross-legged in the void answered hoarsely.
This person was Fire Cloud Old Ghost, the previous Sacred Master of Taiyi Sacred Land, Fire Cloud Feng, with a terrifying cultivation at the ninth level of the Saint King realm, just half a step away from the Quasi-Emperor realm.
However, his aura was extremely weak at this moment.
To save Xiao Ren from Jiang Xuanying, he had paid a heavy price.
"Thank you, Ancestor!!"
Hearing Fire Cloud Old Ghost's words, Xiao Ren was overjoyed.
He didn't even think...
Why this ancestor would pay such a huge price to help him, a junior, rise again.
Even at the cost of his own life-saving blood pool!
"The opportunity is only once."
"When I activate the blood pool to reshape your body, you may feel immense pain, but I will split a soul thought to help suppress it."
"At that time, you must open your mind and carefully comprehend the transformation of the Supreme Body, so you can fully grasp the innate divine abilities born from the Supreme Body!"
Seeing Xiao Ren's ecstatic face, Fire Cloud Old Ghost said calmly.
Without waiting for Xiao Ren to respond, he directly activated the altar.
The vast blood energy contained in the blood pool, along with the essence of rare spiritual herbs in the void, was forcibly extracted by the formation and then infused into Xiao Ren's body.
This scene was somewhat similar to when Xiao Ren used a formation in the Xiao family to stimulate the initial nurturing of the Supreme Bone, but it was much more violent and intense.
Xiao Ren screamed hysterically on the altar as if thrown into a pot of boiling oil.
The shattered Supreme Bone melted in his chest, and every cell in Xiao Ren's body was transforming, with new flesh buds growing from the broken limbs.
This made Fire Cloud Old Ghost's eyes gleam with joy.
It was indeed feasible!
This blood pool was refined from the blood and bones of several slain Saint King experts, containing extremely vast blood and flesh vitality.
If combined with some rare sacred herbs, it could indeed allow the Supreme Bone to undergo Nirvana and rebirth.
It could even cause the bones and flesh of the entire body to transform together!
"Endure it, I'll come in to assist you!"
Seeing Xiao Ren's twisted face, as if he couldn't hold on any longer, Fire Cloud Old Ghost quickly formed hand seals, slicing a soul thought from his sea of consciousness and directly entering Xiao Ren's body.
Constantly helping Xiao Ren suppress the backlash and fuse with his soul source.
"Ancestor, what are you doing?!!"
Sensing Fire Cloud Old Ghost's strange actions, Xiao Ren couldn't help but be horrified.
This old fellow wasn't helping him; he was clearly up to no good!!
"What am I doing?!"
"Of course, I'm refining you into my avatar, letting me take over this Supreme Body!!"
"Otherwise, why would I pay such a painful price to save you from Fuyou Sacred Land!"
Hearing Xiao Ren's horrified words, Fire Cloud Old Ghost's face twisted.
"From the moment you stepped into Taiyi Sacred Land, I noticed you. Not only do you have a Supreme Bone, but your body also has a 90% compatibility with my sacred soul."
"This is the perfect condition for me to possess you and refine an avatar."
"From that moment, I planned everything, first letting you cultivate the Saint King techniques I bestowed, then letting you fuse with a strand of my original fire seed."
"The purpose was to increase the compatibility of your body with my sacred soul, allowing me to possess your body more perfectly."
"I planned to wait a while before taking action, but I didn't expect you to cause trouble at Fuyou Sacred Land, not only getting your Supreme Bone shattered but also forcing me to intervene."
"But unexpectedly, the shattered Supreme Bone combined with this blood pool had such miraculous effects. Perhaps it's the heavens disfavoring you, wanting me to take over your body!"
"Rest assured, once I possess and refine you, I'll personally help you kill your elder brother and extract the essence of his Chaos Body to nourish this body!!"
"As for now, let us unite our minds and embark on a new path of supremacy!!"
As these words echoed, Fire Cloud Old Ghost's soul thought viciously lunged at Xiao Ren's soul source, intending to seize this newly reborn Supreme Body.
