The intense pressure made Xue Sheng groan, and the other Sorcerer's Guild presidents felt somewhat uncomfortable.

However, the master of the Divine Stone Workshop wore a treasure that could shield against this sort of thing, plus he had encountered many first-grade sorcerers during his business trips outside.

Thus, he had experienced this sort of thing many times.

Xue Sheng turned his gaze to Wang Ye and, somewhat displeased, said to him:

"Wang Ye, we are here to discuss matters concerning sorcerers, not for you to come in and immediately use the power of cultivators to suppress us."

"Your mastery in the way of sorcerers is not high, and even if you use the power of cultivators to suppress us, we won't submit."

"Exactly!"

With Xue Sheng speaking out, the other presidents of the Sorcerer's Guild also began to voice objections:

"Wang Ye, if you have the ability, put away this aura of power around you; blindly using force to threaten us is not true skill."

"If you have the ability, show us your achievements in the way of sorcerers!"

"Do you feel insecure about your lack of mastery in the sorcerer's path, so you resorted to intimidating us with your cultivator's strength?"

Voices echoed out, and the sorcerers' eyes were filled with intense dissatisfaction as they looked at Wang Ye.

Only the master of the Divine Stone Workshop looked at Wang Ye with some confusion.

He knew Wang Ye well.

Even if Wang Ye hadn't achieved anything during this period, with his character, he wouldn't use his strength to suppress these sorcerers present.

That would be a loss of dignity for Wang Ye.

Moreover, he knew well about Wang Ye's strength and aura.

Wang Ye's aura was much stronger.

And not as weak as this.

Furthermore, this aura seemed not to be emanating from Wang Ye.

No...

That is...

At this thought, the master of the Divine Stone Workshop suddenly widened his eyes, directing his gaze to Zhou Ke, with astonishment and confusion.

This power was emanating from Zhou Ke.

The presence of a first-grade cultivator!

How did Zhou Ke become a first-grade cultivator?

Even if Zhou Ke had previously cultivated both paths, in the cultivator's path, he was only at the level of a Fifth-Rank Cultivator.

How long has this been?

Since he last separated from Zhou Ke, it had been less than twenty days!

Yet, Zhou Ke had already become a First Grade Cultivator?

Such rapid advancement?

How could it be possible!

If Zhou Ke truly had such mastery in the cultivator's path, he would have advanced long ago, not just within this timeframe.

Even with the vision of the master of the Divine Stone Workshop, it was unimaginable that Wang Ye had created a Great Dao Star, allowing sorcerers to retain their original advantages while also exhibiting the cultivator's realm and strength.

Wang Ye glanced at Xue Sheng, shrugged innocently, and said to Xue Sheng and the presidents of the Sorcerer's Guild:

"Did you misunderstand? This power is not emanating from me."

"Trying to deceive us, are you?"

Xue Sheng slammed the table and stood up.

Swish.

In an instant, Zhou Ke appeared beside Xue Sheng, standing face to face, while the power of the First Grade Cultivator from Zhou Ke directly suppressed Xue Sheng, freezing him in place.

Facing Zhou Ke, the oppression from the First Grade Cultivator's realm made Xue Sheng feel like he was facing a monstrous beast, leaving him with no inclination to resist.

Sweat trickled down Xue Sheng's forehead, and the master of the Divine Stone Workshop, who had been observing, finally confirmed that the aura was truly emanating from Zhou Ke.

The master cast a look at Wang Ye.

He had a feeling that Zhou Ke's rapid progression in realm was certainly due to Wang Ye.

Zhou Ke seemed unaware of the mental pressure he had exerted on Xue Sheng, and apologized to him:

"Sorry, this aura is not emanating from Wang Ye but from me."

"Zhou Ke?"

The other presidents of the Sorcerer's Guild were stunned.

They were aware of Zhou Ke's previous strength.

But in the blink of an eye.

Why did Zhou Ke now possess the strength of a First Grade Cultivator?

"Ahem."

As everyone was left speechless in shock, Wang Ye softly coughed, drawing everyone's attention.

Wang Ye focused his gaze on the crowd and said:

"Did you not just say that I have no profound mastery in the sorcerer's path? In these past half-months, I've been in seclusion, cultivating, and managed to discover something."

At this point, Wang Ye felt a bit disoriented.

To him, his seclusion had felt like it surpassed a year or two of time.

But why had only half a month passed in the outside world?

Even though Wang Ye had lost track of time in the secluded barrier, he still had a basic sense of time.

In this situation, Wang Ye refrained from pondering this issue.

It might be because of Shi Heng.

After all, when Wang Ye was comprehending the phantoms of the great dao last time, Guo Yi had told him that Shi Heng was fine but in the Boundless Realm.

This suggested that Shi Heng might have been watching his every move and could lend assistance during difficulties.

"You've discovered something?!!"

The master of the Divine Stone Workshop exclaimed.

He had suspected this just moments ago.

Before Wang Ye began his research, he had disclosed to them what he intended to investigate.

How sorcerers could attain longevity!

This question had been a historical pursuit among sorcerers, yet until now, no definitive results had been achieved.

Glancing at Zhou Ke again.

The master of the Divine Stone Workshop suddenly thought of someone.

Mo Xu.

Mo Xu, in his research, enabled sorcerers to possess the strength and realm of cultivators.

However, Mo Xu's research involved creating powerful physical bodies and integrating the sorcerer's essence into them.

That differed significantly from Wang Ye's findings.

But the master of the Divine Stone Workshop discerned something from the connections between the two.
