Fang Yu slowly stood up, his gaze indifferently sweeping the surroundings.

This place, frosty as winter all year round, Xie Daoyun had unexpectedly resided here for a thousand years.

"Ice Woman."

Xie Daoyun slightly bowed: "Present."

"Your current strength is extraordinary, but compared to your peak, there is still a long way to go. I hope you can break through soon..." Fang Yu said blandly.

"Yes, Daoyun will definitely give her all, and strive diligently in her cultivation to regain her strength soon," Xie Daoyun promised earnestly.

"If possible, enter that entrance, and once inside, do not go too far, absolutely staying within fifty meters. There the Spiritual Energy is abundant, which can aid your cultivation," Fang Yu said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Xie Daoyun was greatly shocked and said, "The Dragon Emperor once entered a Secret Realm and emerged with greatly enhanced strength. Could it... also be due to this Secret Realm? If so, why didn't the Dragon Emperor go with me?"

Before this, Xie Daoyun thought that the entrance was extremely dangerous and had never ventured inside.

Fang Yu did not answer her question.

He continued, "Within the Secret Realm, dangers abound. With your minor Heavenly Rank strength, you can move within a fifty-meter radius. My strength is not yet sufficient to survive under that kind of intense pressure."

Xie Daoyun couldn't help feeling it was a pity.

She knew just how powerful the Dragon Emperor's strength was. It was a realm she could never reach.

At that moment, Fang Yu asked:

"There's another thing I want to ask you."

"Your Majesty has only to ask; Daoyun will hold nothing back and tell all."

Fang Yu looked at her and said:

"You are of the Extreme Yin Body, do you have any specific Cultivation Method?"

"What does the Dragon Emperor mean?" Xie Daoyun looked puzzled.

"Give me your Cultivation Method," Fang Yu stated directly.

Hearing this request, Xie Daoyun was slightly surprised.

Although she didn't mind handing over the cultivation technique, she found it rather strange.

"Your Majesty, the Cultivation Method I practice was originally bestowed upon me by you!"

Fang Yu was taken aback.

Clearly, the part of his memory that had recovered did not include this cultivation method.

Seeing this, Xie Daoyun hurriedly said, "Daoyun was mistaken!"

With a wave of her hand, a box resembling a block of ice popped out from the edge of a nearby table.

Swoosh—

A book flew out from it, drawn into Xie Daoyun's hands.

She respectfully pushed the book towards Fang Yu and said, "Your Majesty, this is my Cultivation Method. However... you once said that this method only suits people with the Extreme Yin Body, doubling its effectiveness, and it's useless for anyone else!"

Fang Yu nodded.

"Let's leave it at that for today. I will come and see you again after some time."

Hearing this.

Xie Daoyun was moved.

Watching the retreating figure of Fang Yu, she stood transfixed, full of anticipation.

...

...

Ye Family villa.

Night had just fallen.

Crack!

Under immense pressure, Ye Wenjun's physical strength reached its limit. Ye Xingkong and the other members of the Ye Family, with anxious faces, watched her being oppressed by Shangguan Linghui.

"Wenjun, give up! If it's too much, just give up..." Ye Xingkong could hardly bear to see his daughter suffering and straining.

But...

Ye Wenjun still stubbornly said, "No! My head can be cut off and my blood can flow, but I will never bow down!"

She clenched her teeth.

All the Primordial Qi in her body burst forth.

Hoo!

The pressure was lifted off. Ye Wenjun staggered, almost unable to stand steady...

Shangguan Linghui was taken aback and said, "How is this possible? How can a Martial Artist withstand my Gang Qi pressure!?"

A female servant nearby said, "Miss, I suspect that she is not an ordinary Martial Artist."

"Not an ordinary martial artist?"

Shangguan Linghui's eyes turned cold, and a sneer crossed her lips, "I didn't expect to meet such a talented martial artist in the Ye Family. However, it's a pity... No matter how great your talent is, it's useless, for weaklings like you are easily nipped in the bud." Saying so, she giggled.

"Innate Gang Qi!"

Suddenly.

Ye Wenjun felt an even stronger oppressive force sweeping over her. It hit her chest like a cannonball.

Caught off-guard, Ye Wenjun staggered backward repeatedly.

She groaned, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

"Wenjun!"

"Wenjun!"

The Ye Family exclaimed in shock.

The female servant yelled, "This is a matter between my young lady and her, anyone who dares to interfere, don't blame me for being rude!"

Snap! The whip shook.

Ye Xingkong's face twitched, his teeth itching with rage, yet he was helpless.

Shangguan Linghui wore a light smile and said, "Ye Wenjun, you are very stubborn. But... stubbornness comes at a price. Have you really not thought about begging for mercy?"

"No way!" Ye Wenjun wiped the blood from her mouth.

Shangguan Linghui snorted coldly, "Then taste what oppression feels like!"

Whoosh—

The Innate Gang Qi pressed down.

This time, Ye Wenjun, having depleted all her Primordial Qi, had no strength to fight back.

The oppression made her sense a threat.

In that split second, the Phoenix Ancient Jade on Ye Wenjun's chest emitted a faint glow—

Boom!

The Gang Qi dispersed.

And Ye Wenjun stood unharmed, completely safe.

Shangguan Linghui's face showed surprise, exclaiming, "Impossible!"

"This can't be possible!"

Not only she, but even Ye Wenjun herself was astonished as she saw the Spirit Light emanating from the Phoenix Ancient Jade. It reminded her of the last time she faced danger, and the Phoenix Ancient Jade had protected her as well!

The Phoenix Ancient Jade, truly a mysteriously powerful artifact!

Shangguan Linghui stood up.

She had lost the manners and poise expected of a noble lady, her face twisted grotesquely.

Ye Wenjun looked at Shangguan Linghui fearlessly and said lightly, "You lost!"

"You—dare to trick me?" Shangguan Linghui believed there had to be a trick, and it couldn't just be her strength.

"Lost and won't admit it?" said Ye Wenjun.

"How audacious! A mere martial artist, daring to challenge our young lady! I'll punish you on behalf of her!"

Snap!

A loud sound, the Black Whip, more ferocious than before, lashed out.

Ye Wenjun's expression changed slightly.

She retreated repeatedly.

Seeing this scene, Ye Xingkong knew he could endure no more. This exceeded their agreement.

With a leap forward, he moved in front of Ye Wenjun. Snap, snap, snap... the whip struck him several times.

"Enough!" Ye Xingkong said, looking unwell, "I can pour tea for you, I can apologize, how about that?"

Shangguan Linghui laughed.

"If you want me not to take this matter to heart... force your family's proud Miss Ye Wenjun to kneel before me, and kowtow three times!"

The Ye Family was in an uproar.

They didn't know why Shangguan Linghui targeted Ye Wenjun everywhere.

With Ye Wenjun's character, would she easily submit?

Just when everyone thought the situation was about to worsen—

A familiar figure walked in from the yard outside.

The light shone on his face.

"Fang Yu?!!"
