The woman in front of Ren Yuan was no other than Qian Guimo. He had changed from a little boy's appearance to a beautiful woman.
"Why? Didn't you like her back then?" Qian Guimo said with a sarcastic smile.
The face he used currently was Ren Yuan's first lover when he was still a weak young master of the Ren Clan. Qian Guimo happened to know this and went to kill her in order to disgust Ren Yuan. However, Ren Yuan didn't seem to care about it. He didn't even try to avenge her.
"Heh. What a poor woman. She did everything to protect your worthless life back then, but who would have thought that the man she loved so dearly didn't even care about her in the end?" Qian Guimo laughed ridiculously.
Ren Yuan said expressionlessly. "If you are here just to disgust me, you should go back now."
Qian Guimo put away the mockery and asked. "You know about that Yu Wuying beforehand, right?"
Ren Yuan poured Qian Guimo a cup of tea and said. "Not a single woman around Yun Tian is normal. Throughout those years, Yu Wuying received his teachings directly from him. Even a fool like Zi Wei could become much more powerful just by listening to his preaching a few times."
Qian Guimo unceremoniously sat down and drank the tea in one go. "Why did you let her go?"
Ren Yuan took a sip of tea and said expressionlessly. "The Divine Realm still has many enemies. Who would work hard for me if I killed her?"
"Heh. Suit you well. This answer." Qian Guimo sneered. "What about that old hag?"
"She won't live long." Ren Yuan replied nonchalantly. "This is her last struggle."
"The new priestess should have been selected by now. Are you sure it won't be a problem later?" Qian Guimo asked.
"It seems Yu Wuying left a shadow on your heart. If it were you before, you wouldn't ask such a stupid question." Ren Yuan said calmly.
Qian Guimo curled his lips. "Why don't you try getting your arm cut by that woman? Do you know how terrible it is?"
"Master." At this moment, Chun Yue walked over and was surprised to see Qian Guimo. She bowed gently and said. "Master's maidservant Chun Yue greets Thousand Faces God Emperor."
Qian Guimo seized Chun Yue up and down and clicked his tongue. "This face and figure. I really want to put her in my collection."
Ren Yuan ignored him and looked at Chun Yue. "What's wrong?"
Chun Yue quickly replied. "The Dark Sea God Emperor's son went to the Eastern Divine Region and currently visits the Violet Thunder God Realm. At the same time, there is a strange movement in the west… A large number of profound beasts have become active."
"Looks like Nie Shen is no longer hiding." Qian Guimo chuckled. "But why did he send his stupid son over?"
Ren Yuan didn't care about Nie Wuji's news. His mind was on the latter part. "What's Qilin God Emperor's reaction?"
"There's no response from them, including the Heavenly Fox God Emperor and the Ash Serpent God Emperor." Chun Yue replied.
"Pay attention to them. Tell me when they make a move." Ren Yuan said calmly.
"Understood." Chun Yue responded readily.
"Could it be those devils?" Qian Guimo said with a frown. "Perhaps they heard the news about Yun Tian's successor."
He looked at Ren Yuan and asked. "Is this within your plan?"
Ren Yuan calmly sipped the tea, offering no comment.
Seeing this, Qian Guimo got a conclusion. He got up and said. "Well, I should go back and prepare to see a good show."
As his voice fell, his figure vanished from the place without a trace. This scene made Chun Yue's heart turn cold. Although she was weaker than Qian Guimo, it wasn't to the point where she couldn't perceive his trace. Especially when he made a move right before her like this… It could be seen how powerful he truly was.
She turned to Ren Yuan and knelt on one knee. "Chun Yue deserves to die."
She was ashamed that Qian Guimo could come here without her knowing. If he had malicious intent, her master would be in danger.
"Get up." Ren Yuan said expressionlessly. "His Ghost Step is an inheritance from the Primordial Era. It's normal for you to not notice it."
Chun Yue got up and said solemnly. "Thank you, Master."
Ren Yuan waved his hand and said. "Tell our people to watch Ling Yongheng's movement closely. He won't give up that easily."
"Understood." Chun Yue responded and left directly.
Ren Yuan raised his head to look at the dark sky about to rain and muttered to himself. "Things are getting more interesting now…I truly want to see the next move of those pawns you left behind, Yun Tian. I hope you won't disappoint me again."

Twenty years passed in a blink of an eye inside the Heavenhold Secret Land. During this period, Yun Lintian had never stopped practicing even once, but his strength barely reached the peak of the Divine Origin Realm.
All the resources he had were gone in the first two years. Absorbing the heaven and earth aura here was the only way for him. There was no further booster anymore.
However, his battle prowess had improved by leaps and bounds compared to the first time he stepped into the Divine Origin Realm. Right now, he could leave a crack in Yue Chuntao's ten percent barrier using his divine energy purely.
"This is bad." Yun Lintian opened his eyes and sighed. Throughout his journey on the profound path, this was the first time he hit the so-called "bottleneck." He now understood how frustrated and desperate those practitioners were.
If it went on like this, it would be impossible for him to reach the Divine Transformation Realm in the next thirty years. Even the Divine Tribulation Realm was in question now.
"Brother." Suddenly, a mellow female voice resounded, and a beautiful figure appeared before Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian raised his head to look at her slightly and smiled. "Congratulations. You've finally stepped into the Divine Spirit Realm."
The beautiful woman was naturally Ning Yue. After twenty years, she had grown into a peerless beauty who seemed to walk out from a painting. She stood approximately one hundred and seventy centimeters, and her curves developed exceptionally well.
The original youthfulness on her face had disappeared and was replaced with a feminine charm that could steal any men's soul.
