After hearing Hei Yaâs words, everyone immediately became astounded. All of them praised Yang Lie with some envy.
Yang Lie chuckled away. He stroked his beard as he said with great delight, âWhy donât you take a look at who my great-grandson is? Back then on the Tian Yuan Continent, he possessed the title of the human sovereign. Just with my grandsonâs talent, can he be a regular person?â Yang Lie gazed at Hei Ya. He was completely unable to tell his cultivation, but to him, he obviously could not be too powerful since he was a servant.
âYouâre called Hei Ya, right? You donât need to refer to us as seniors. With our strength that hasnât even reached Godhood, it just feels strange to be referred to as seniors. You can just call us by our names,â Yang Lie patted Hei Ya on the shoulder and said amicably.
Hei Ya clasped his fist again and bowed politely. He was stern and said, âManners are crucial. I can never do that!â
âEnough, we can talk about this in the future. Letâs go to the Tian Yuan clan first.â
âWait, I think we should find somewhere safe first and go to the Tian Yuan clan once weâve broken through to Godhood,â someone suggested.
âYeah, I think so too. With all these years of accumulation, reaching Godhood shouldnât take too long for us. Once we reach Godhood, weâll be freed from the restriction of a lifespan. Thereâs just an intrinsic difference between Godhood and the Origin realm.â
After some further thought, Yang Lie agreed. He turned to Hei Ya and said, âHei Ya, youâre familiar with this place. Why donât you take us somewhere safe so that we can cultivate first? We can return to the Tian Yuan clan once we reach Godhood.â
âAs you wish, senior!â Hei Ya abided by everything that Yang Lie said. With a wave of his hand, a carriage immediately appeared. He stood at the front of the carriage and made an inviting gesture towards Yang Lie politely. âPlease take a seat, senior. Iâll lead you to somewhere quiet so that you can cultivate.â
They all boarded the carriage. In the next moment, the carriage rushed into the air, appearing over the capital city of the Pingtian Empire instantly. Afterwards, without pausing for a second, it directly shot over the capital city, vanishing very soon.
The capital city of the Pingtian Empire possessed strict rules. The only people bold enough to fly over the capital city in such a fearless manner were the high-ranking members of the Tian Yuan clan.
In the carriage, Yang Lie and everyone else was completely unaware that they had already entered the capital city that they had shrunk back from earlier. They looked and felt around in the carriage as if they were extremely curious about all the decor inside.
âWhat kind of jade is this? Why does it feel refreshing to the touch?â
âAnd this fabric, it seems to be something impressive too. When I sit on it, I actually feel warmth fill up my entire body.â
âAnd this cushion. It seems to possess some special properties too. Yang Lie, this carriage seems quite special. Even we donât recognise a lot of the materials used to construct it.â
They discussed and studied the carriage seriously. However, before they had even spoken for long, Hei Yaâs voice rang out from outside politely, âSeniors, weâre here!â
âWeâre here? So quickly?â They were stunned, disembarking from the carriage in confusion. What filled their eyes was a wide, bustling street.
They were located in the centre of the capital city. It was an extremely busy place.
The carriage stopped quietly in front of a large courtyard. The courtyard took up an extremely vast area. They could not see how it was inside, but the imposing entrance alone was stunning.
âSeniors, you can break through here.â Hei Ya suggested to them politely as he stood to one side.
They gazed at the imposing entrance, all of them astounded.
âWe were thinking any safe inn would do, yet you actually found us such a large courtyard. Thatâs a little wasteful.â
âTsktsktsk. You can tell that this place is exceptional from a single glance. A year of rent here will probably be quite a lot.â
âŠâŠ
âŠ
Standing at the entrance, they all sighed. Among them, apart from Feng Xiaotian who came from a large sect, all of them had only visited small towns with scarce resources when they roamed the Saintsâ World. They had never seen such an impressive courtyard before.
At this moment, at the end of the street, a carriage rolled over slowly, protected by over a dozen Godhood guards.
The carriage belonged to the middle-aged woman from the Hundred Acceptance sect!
Outside the courtyard, Hei Ya had already stowed the carriage away, about to bring Yang Lie and the others inside.
âHmm? Look, doesnât that carriage belong to the female senior who helped us out earlier?â The ancestor of the Heavenâs Incense School suddenly noticed the carriage and called out in surprise.
âThe female senior had helped us out with kind intentions before. We might not have been able to keep those resources in the end, but we canât forget her kindness.â
âYeah. That female senior left in a hurry earlier. We couldnât even thank her properly. Now that weâve encountered her here, we ought to pay her a visit.â
Hei Ya, who stood to one side, seemed to hear something from their conversation. A vicious light immediately flashed through his eyes, and he said politely, âSeniors, did you encounter any trouble before?â
âSigh, itâs all a matter of the past, so letâs not mention it again. We canât afford to provoke an existence as lofty as them.â Yang Lie waved his hand, reluctant to say anything else. Afterwards, the group of them made their way towards the carriage from the Hundred Acceptance sect.
At this moment, the middle-aged woman sat uneasily within the carriage. She seemed to be pestered by worries that refused to let up.
Apart from the middle-aged woman, there was a young lady sitting in there too. From her appearance, she was around eighteen or nineteen years of age. She had a fair complexion and a pure appearance. She gave off a sense of elegance with her actions, like a young miss of an important family.
The middle-aged woman was a Godking elder of the Hundred Acceptance sect. Her name was Wu Ruyi.

As for the young lady seated with her, she was the youngest daughter of the sect master of the Hundred Acceptance sect, Die Yi.
âDie Yi, youâll be meeting with the youngest prince of the Pingtian Empire this time. Itâs an opportunity that the ancestor of our Hundred Acceptance sect has earned through great difficulties. You have to establish a good impression and cater to the prince when you see him. If he fancies you, the greatest danger that we are facing in the history of our Hundred Acceptance sect will be resolved in passing,â Wu Ruyi instructed earnestly. After saying that, she sighed gently. She was helpless.
Die Yi bit her lip gently. Determination filled her large, dark eyes that were still slightly innocent. She said softly, âIâll definitely do well, as I know that establishing a tie with the Pingtian Empire is the only hope for saving our Hundred Acceptance sect right now.â
At this moment, the carriage came to a slow stop. A somewhat familiar voice rang out from outside.
âWe didnât expect to encounter senior here again. Weâve come to express our gratitude for seniorâs assistance earlier.â
When she heard the voice, Wu Ruyi was immediately taken aback. She emerged from the carriage in the blink of an eye. Immediately, she noticed Yang Lie and the others who stood cautiously yet gratefully outside the carriage.
