"I choose to forge my Cave Heaven here!"

As Xiao Ming's words fell, Yun Ling's eyes flickered, and she immediately made her choice.

Her purpose for entering the Ghost Fiend Secret Realm this time was to find the five-color fiendish energy.

Now that the opportunity was right in front of her, it would be foolish to give it up.

After all.

She was only cultivating an incomplete Saint King technique, and her own talent couldn't compare to Xiao Ming and the others, so there was no need to pursue the seven-color fiendish energy for Foundation Establishment.

"Alright, then you should hurry and reforge your Cave Heaven. We'll guard you here."

Xiao Ming nodded at her words, a smile appearing on his face.

It seemed that this Senior Sister Yun Ling wasn't greedy, which made him feel a bit of goodwill towards her.

Yun Ling nodded.

Without further ado, she rushed into the source of the fiendish energy and began to devour the five-color fiendish energy to forge the foundation of her Cave Heaven.

"Brother Xiao Ming, should I also devour the five-color fiendish energy to forge my Cave Heaven foundation?"

Seeing Yun Ling enter the source of the fiendish energy to forge her Cave Heaven foundation, Su Qingyue, after slaying the last demon, approached Xiao Ming and asked somewhat eagerly.

Of course.

It wasn't that she was greedy for treasures, but she didn't want to be a burden to Xiao Ming and the others.

Although she was the most talented prodigy of her generation at Jade Maiden Peak, there was still a significant gap compared to Xiao Ming and Feng Xianhuang.

Even with Ling Ruoxuan helping her develop her Taiyin Sacred Spirit Vein and consuming various rare herbs to aid her Body Refining, her physical strength had only reached the seventh level of the Cave Heaven realm.

If she could break through to the Cave Heaven realm sooner, her combat power would increase by several levels, allowing her to protect Xiao Ming and the others in return.

"Silly girl, why are you in such a hurry?"

"If we can't find the seven-color fiendish energy later, then you can use the five-color fiendish energy for Foundation Establishment."

"Besides..."

"The five-color fiendish energy at this source isn't abundant enough to allow more than one person to forge a perfect Saint-grade supreme Cave Heaven."

"If you join in, it will only waste your talent."

Hearing Su Qingyue's words, Xiao Ming affectionately patted her head, firmly rejecting the little girl's idea.

As his childhood sweetheart.

Even if they couldn't find the seven-color fiendish energy to forge an Emperor-grade Cave Heaven for her, at least she should have a perfect Saint-grade supreme Cave Heaven.

How could he settle for less?

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Xiao Ming."

Feeling Xiao Ming's affectionate gesture, Su Qingyue nodded immediately, showing a face of utmost obedience.

She then sat beside the source of the fiendish energy, focusing on guarding Yun Ling.

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

Turning back to see Feng Xianhuang staring intently at him, Xiao Ming felt a bit puzzled, thinking that this junior sister might be jealous.

Could it be...

She also wanted a head pat?

"The reason you could unleash that sword strike just now must be because of the power of the secret realm, not because your own strength is too strong."

"Definitely not!"

Hearing Xiao Ming's question, Feng Xianhuang muttered to herself.

Before Xiao Ming could respond, she sat down beside him, trying hard to calm her mind.

Indeed.

This Empress was once again feeling defeated.

Xiao Ming's sword strike just now was completely beyond her expectations.

Because even for her.

Without using her past life's swordsmanship insights, even with the power of the secret realm, it would be difficult to replicate the elegance of that sword strike.

But Xiao Ming managed to do it.

His progress was terrifying, completely beyond her expectations.

Given a few more days to grow, she would definitely be overshadowed by him.

Damn it!

"Acting all mysterious..."

Xiao Ming glanced at Feng Xianhuang with some exasperation, then sat in the void, continuing to slay demons.

Any demons that dared to approach were sent into the Human Emperor Banner.

As time passed.

The five-color fiendish energy at the source was completely devoured, and a thunderous roar echoed like a storm across the heavens and earth.

With a clear cry, Yun Ling soared into the sky, a Cave Heaven appearing behind her, its internal world expanding madly.

A thousand feet!

...

Three thousand feet!

...

Ten thousand feet!

...

Fifteen thousand feet!

In just a short moment, the world inside the Cave Heaven expanded from a thousand feet to fifteen thousand feet, and a terrifying wave of cultivation erupted from Yun Ling.

Cave Heaven realm, first level!

Of course, this was just Yun Ling's initial breakthrough phase.

As she continued to devour the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, converting it into true essence to fill her Cave Heaven, her cultivation would see an explosive increase in a short time!

After all, with the inner Cave Heaven reaching fifteen thousand feet, it had already surpassed the supreme Saint-grade level, reaching the initial level of the Emperor-grade.

In other words.

Yun Ling now not only had the potential of a Saint King but also the hope of achieving the Quasi-Emperor realm in the future!

"Congratulations, Senior Sister, on achieving a supreme Saint-grade Cave Heaven, no, an initial Emperor-grade Cave Heaven!"

Seeing Yun Ling stunned in the void, unable to believe it, Su Qingyue quickly congratulated her.

In the Cangyuan Realm.

The size of the world inside the Cave Heaven determined its foundation and quality, and also limited the future height of one's cultivation.

Within a thousand feet was considered the Heaven-grade, destined to stop at the Tongtian realm.

Within ten thousand feet was considered the Saint-grade, with the potential to achieve the Saint King realm.

If one could reach a hundred thousand feet, they could achieve a perfect Cave Heaven, with the hope of attaining the Great Emperor!

Yun Ling had fallen in cultivation to enter the secret realm, with her Cave Heaven foundation only reaching five thousand eight hundred feet!

Although she had the potential to achieve the Saint realm, becoming a Saint King was very difficult.

Unexpectedly, entering the Ghost Fiend Secret Realm this time and using the five-color fiendish energy to reforge her Cave Heaven foundation.

Actually gave her the potential of a Saint King, and even the hope of achieving the Quasi-Emperor realm.

This was simply like a fish leaping over the dragon gate!

"It's all thanks to you. Without you... how could I have achieved what I have today?"

Yun Ling, hearing this, looked gratefully at Su Qingyue and the others, especially Xiao Ming and Feng Xianhuang.

If it weren't for these two prodigies, how could she have easily obtained so much five-color fiendish energy to forge her Cave Heaven foundation?!

This kindness was simply beyond repayment.

"If Senior Sister Yun Ling feels indebted, why not offer yourself... and join me in becoming Brother Xiao Ming's woman."

Seeing Yun Ling so excited, not knowing what to say.

Su Qingyue immediately leaned over to her, teasing in a low voice with some mischief.

This made Yun Ling's face flush red.

"You naughty girl, what are you saying?"

"Be careful, or Brother Xiao Ming will scold you!"

Pretending to pinch Su Qingyue hard, Yun Ling glanced at Xiao Ming with some guilt.

She suddenly realized that Su Qingyue's suggestion seemed quite appealing.

Having such a prodigious talent as her man would surely make any woman feel satisfied.

But...

Xiao Ming had Su Qingyue as his childhood fiancée, Ling Ruoxuan as a powerful lover, and even Feng Xianhuang as a prodigious junior sister.

She seemed a bit ordinary in comparison. Would this prodigious talent want her?

"This place is not safe for long."

"We've spent quite some time here, and we must quickly find the next shelter!"

While Yun Ling and Su Qingyue were talking, Xiao Ming glanced at the distant horizon.

A layer of mist was advancing towards them, and with most of the day already gone, he spoke gravely to the group.

As Xiao Ming's words fell, the group also restrained their smiles.

They all unleashed their cultivation and left the Ghost Head Forest with Xiao Ming.

Yun Ling continuously took out spirit crystals and crystal cores, frantically absorbing spiritual power to fill her Cave Heaven.

This also caused her cultivation to rapidly increase during the journey.

The group.

After two hours of trekking, finally broke free from the range of the Ghost Head Forest, continuously advancing towards the center of the secret realm.

"Up ahead is an abandoned village with many shelters."

"But it's also a very dangerous place, where other cultivators might be lying in ambush!"

Looking at the village marked on the map, Feng Xianhuang spoke gravely.

As she spoke.

A dilapidated village appeared before them.

It looked like an abandoned mountain village, with various wooden and earthen houses in disrepair.

Everywhere the eye could see was desolation.

Only a few houses had intact Ghost Fiend runes flickering on them.

This place was called the Old Remnant Village.

It seemed to be a place where the old, disabled, and weak lived in the original world of this secret realm.
