What puzzled Li Fan was that according to the information he had previously read.

This secret technique of cultivation, once the level of strength reaches equivalent to the Golden Core Realm, should be restricted by the rules of Heaven and Earth.

The speed of cultivation should slow down.

However, Li Fan did not see this restriction come into effect on Ye Feipeng.

At least not now.

“Is it because of his demonic bloodline? Or is there a disparate treatment?”

Li Fan was somewhat baffled.

“Perhaps I can find an opportunity to conduct an experiment.”

Stroking his chin, Li Fan began to formulate plans in his mind.

In these two months when Ye Feipeng’s strength surged rapidly, Zhang Haobo and Su Xiaomei had already left the Misthaven Ocean and arrived in Jiushan Province, near the border of Shilin State.

Both were greatly impressed by the endless, earth-skimming White Mist Barrier, a grand spectacle laid out before their eyes.

Witnessing such a marvel, they paused and observed for a long while before advancing towards the relics of the Yuan Dynasty of Jiushan Province.

Overwhelmed by this grand spectacle of nature, Su Xiaomei for the first time realized how insignificant she was.

She became more modest during the journey, acting low-key and focusing on the journey.

This was a sigh of relief for Zhang Haobo.

This young lady was not easy to handle; hot-tempered and irritating.

This was her first long-distance journey since “growing up”, and she liked meddling in everything she encountered.

People sometimes teased her because of her precocious nature.

But she could not tolerate it at all.

She pounced in fury at every perceived slight.

Throughout the journey, several such incidents had already occurred.

Luckily, though hot-tempered, Su Xiaomei isn’t foolish.

She would only strike first when she was sure that the opponent was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and that she could beat them.

Whenever Su Xiaomei engaged in fights, Zhang Haobo stood by her, not turning a blind eye.

They had no choice but to teach the other party a lesson together before quickly leaving the scene.

“I hope this time of peace can last a bit longer.”

Zhang Haobo looked at the seldom calm Su Xiaomei and thought to himself.

However, things usually go against one’s wishes.

After crossing the Jiushan Province for a while and reached the first transverse mountains, Su Xiaomei could no longer contain herself and began to show signs of her old behavior.

Because there was a checkpoint in front of Shixi Mountain’s mountain pass, the entrance of the first mountain range.

All the cultivators who wished to pass through had to pay a certain contribution or Spirit Stones.

According to the information marked on the map given by Ye Feipeng, each of the Nine Mountains in Jiushan Province was unique, and cultivators could not fly over them.

So if one wished to cross the Shixi Mountain, either they must be willing to overcome difficulties and take risks walking over the mountains or they would have to pass through such mountain passes.

They had brought some Spirit Stones with them before they set off.

Upon fighting with others, they also made sure to grab some more.

So, they had enough to pay.

However, as Su Xiaomei glared at the people who were collecting Spirit Stones, her eyes kept rolling around as if she was hatching some dangerous plan.

Zhang Haobo’s heart sank.

If they didn’t have some actual strength and background, how could they dare to set up a fee-charging checkpoint here?

These people were obviously not easy to mess with.

He immediately tugged her clothes and tried to signal with his eyes to Su Xiaomei not to make trouble.

Su Xiaomei shot him a glance and conveyed through telepathy: “Do you think I’m that stupid? So many people here are obediently paying the fees, even those Golden Core cultivators.”

“It’s just a few Spirit Stones, why would I rashly cause trouble?”

Zhang Haobo was taken aback, asking: “So what are you up to?”

“Hehe, I don’t need to stick my neck out, others will.”

“Look at that person!” Su Xiaomei subtly pointed to a cultivator in the front.

Zhang Haobo followed her direction and saw that the man was almost at the Spirit Stone collection spot.

However…

Only then Zhang Haobo noticed, a scoffing expression remained on the man’s face the whole time.

He seemed to look down on the cultivators who obediently paid their spiritual stones before.

“This is going to be interesting.”

The troublemaker Su Xiaomei said excitedly.

Zhang Haobo was also intrigued.

He knew that the technique Su Xiaomei was cultivating made her extremely sensitive to changes in the emotions around her.

Her words implied that this cultivator would almost certainly come into conflict with the organization in charge of collecting fees.

However, what Zhang Haobo found puzzling was that this person, who clearly appeared to be at the Foundation Establishment Stage, was so confident. Where was this confidence coming from?

Could it be that they were a powerful figure hiding their cultivation?

Fortunately, he didn’t have to wait long.

“One hundred lower-grade spiritual stones.”

He stood proudly at the entrance of the passage for a long time without making a move.

The black-clothed cultivator in charge of collecting the fees saw this and became a little impatient, prompting him to speak.

“I don’t have any!”

The man snorted coldly, looking down at the others dismissively.

“You don’t have any? What is a penniless guy like you doing here? Get lost!” The black-clothed cultivator’s eyes bulged and he was about to forcibly remove the man.

However, seeing the contemptuous look in the man’s eyes, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of apprehension and hesitated.

Out in the wild world, it’s vital to have a discerning eye.

Many cultivators in the diverse Jiushan Province have inadvertently offended someone they shouldn’t have and ended up being swatted to death.

Looking at the man’s mannerisms, he was either out of his mind,

Or he was a cultivator who had concealed his cultivation and was deliberately looking for trouble.

The black-clothed cultivator contemplated for a moment and didn’t rush to make a move.

Instead, he stepped back a little to create some distance.

Then he called for backup.

After all, he was just a grunt getting paid to do this.

It wasn’t worth risking his life for such a small fee.

If he couldn’t handle it, someone else could.

“You just wait!”

He spat out a fierce threat, then retreated into the protective array inside the passage.

Soon, four or five cultivators rushed over from inside the passage.

The leader was a Nascent Soul cultivator with long and graceful hair, and a gentle expression.

He came to the man who caused the disturbance and examined him with interest.

“You’re an interesting character. If you don’t have any spiritual stones, then go back. What’s the point of standing here?”

“Don’t tell me you think our Elemental Spirit Sect is easy to bully.”

The gentle man spoke with a smile, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

From above his head, a towering Peach Blossom Cave Heaven suddenly appeared.

Peach blossom petals fell with the wind, and the powerful pressure belonging to a Nascent Soul cultivator immediately filled the area.

Many Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators turned pale and trembled under the overwhelming pressure of the Nascent Soul.

What everyone present didn’t expect was that this Nascent Soul pressure seemed to have no effect on the man causing the disturbance.

Instead, he smiled faintly and directly pointed out the gentle man’s identity: “Shen Yurou, you’re still as effeminate as ever.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Yurou’s face changed drastically, and the Peach Blossom Cave Heaven above his head abruptly disappeared.

His expression became serious, and he stared at the man causing the disturbance with full vigilance.

“Who exactly are you?”

The troublemaker brushed off his clothes and said casually, “So you don’t recognize me just because I changed my outfit?”

With his words, the blue cloth on the man’s body suddenly glowed with a golden radiance.

It turned into a shining golden armor in a flash.

Shen Yurou was initially startled, but then he seemed to recall something and said in shock: “I am Invincible?”

In an instant, he retreated rapidly.

After putting some distance between them, he stopped abruptly.

Turning his head, he looked at “I am Invincible” and asked with a doubtful expression: “Didn’t you advance to God Transformation? How did you regress to Foundation Establishment Stage?”

“I am Invincible” shrugged with an nonchalant look, “I felt like I was on the wrong path, so I just decided to start over.”
