--- Chapter 176 ---

Under a shady tree near an ancient city, a white-haired young man sat down with three beauties.

Yes, the young man is Baek Ain.

Meanwhile, the three beauties are Lan Rou, Qing Lin, and Xuan Yi.

"So, that's how it is." Baek Ain listened to Lan Rou's story patiently.

The journey of Yi Xian and Lan Rou is mundane and not very exciting, but they fulfill their goals nonetheless.

Lan Rou and Yi Xian took over Pill Tower and Five Great Clans in the Pill Region in a month. They also explored a dangerous place and obtained Nether Poison Flame.

Lastly, they even saved the infamous Three Thousand Burning Flame for him as a gift. Baek Ain couldn't help but feel touched as his lover didn't need much protection anymore.

Although they aren't at the top of the world yet, their speed of progress will push them there soon.

It's just a matter of time.

Meanwhile, Xuan Yi had a bitter smile as Lan Rou completed her story.

'It seems that Pill Tower can't escape Master's grasp, even if we resist till the end.'

Xuan Yi could only gauge Baek Ain's strength through the connection with the parasite in her body. However, all she could feel was a nature-like aura and boundless energy.

Since Baek Ain possessed such a deep knowledge about space, his strength couldn't be lower than 1-Star Dou Saint.

Of course, what baffled Xuan Yi wasn't that.

As 9th Alchemist, she has several connections with Half-Saint Experts and a few Dou Saint Experts. But they are elders who lived hundreds, if not thousands, of years.

On the other hand, Baek Ain is barely twenty years old.

Twenty years old Saint?

What kind of madness is this?

Thinking about it, Xuan Yi felt a headache in her head. This kind of information could shock someone to death.

Xuan Yi gazed at Baek Ain's handsome face, which is his actual face after deactivating [Chaotic Mask of the Jester], and sighed inside. She was sure that this era belonged to this man.

Her master.

'Maybe it wasn't such a bad thing.' Xuan Yi rationalized herself.

With Baek Ain's achievement in mind, Xuan Yi accepted everything she had experienced more positively.

Baek Ain whistled, enjoying the drifting wind in the atmosphere.

He obtained [Wind Element Mastery] from Hall of Soul's Elder a while ago and combined it with the Lightning Calamity Divine Art he had created. It was a huge success, but there weren't many beings with sturdy bodies to test this combination's limit.

So far, The Lei Clan's Patriarch(Lei Ying) might be the most satisfactory Body Cultivator in this world.

Others only focused on their Energy Cultivation.

Soul Cultivation, huh? Baek Ain wonders how strong his soul will be after experiencing one hundred reincarnations from the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree.

"Rou, have you ever heard of Bodhisattva Ancient Tree?" Baek Ain glanced at his silver-haired lover.

Lan Rou was surprised by this question but still nodded her head.

"In my first life, I was searching for it because Bodhisattva Seed could help me become a Saint."

"Well, it was a futile attempt."

"After roaming for twenty years, I couldn't even find a glimpse of the legendary tree."

"Hehe, it seems you haven't gone out for over a month?" Baek Ain chuckled, causing Lan Rou to feel puzzled.

"Older Sister..." Qing Lin pursed her lips in amusement, watching Lan Rou's confused look.

"Why are you two giving me these gazes?" Lan Rou frowned at them.

Baek Ain shook his head and replied, "Rou, you're lucky. From what I heard, the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree has shown itself around the Pill Region for a month now."

"Some people have checked it. Right, Xuan Yi?"

Xuan Yi nodded and explained, "A month ago. Some people spotted a floating island in the Pill Region. They flew there and discovered a massive ancient tree with "Bodhi." characteristics."

"An 8th Tier Alchemist, who read ancient documents, immediately recognized the tree at the time."

"And it was indeed the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree."

"Mistress, you haven't gone out for 33 days. So, it's normal for you not to know this."

"Yet you didn't report it..." Lan Rou returned coldly.

Xuan Yi lowered her head and admitted, "Sorry for the negligence, but before I regained consciousness, I didn't dare to disturb the Mistress's Cultivation."

Lan Rou's frown disappeared as Yi Xian ordered the Pill Tower's people not to disturb them. After all, Yi Xian was about to break through at the time.

The only recent contact Lan Rou had with Xuan Yi was a few hours ago when she ordered her to fetch Baek Ain.

"Fine, I'll drop this matter off."

"Then, where is the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree now?" She asked with bright eyes.

"It's here." Baek Ain answered casually.

"Precisely, up there." He added, pointing his finger to the sky.

Outside, everyone in the street stopped as a floating island appeared out of nowhere and hovered near the Pill Tower. They were shocked and immediately contacted some higher-ups.

"Y-You sensed it?" Lan Rou gasped, watching her lover with a fascinated gaze. "How could that be... We are inside a confined space made by a Saint."

"Unless you have-!"

"Yes, I have reached Dou Saint Realm. And I'm close to reaching 2-Star Dou Saint Realm." Baek Ain replied with a grin.

Lan Rou's mouth widened in disbelief. Even though she has countless medicines, experience, and even her 1st Life's Energy, she still loses to Baek Ain.

"When did you break through?"

"Around a month ago? When I was refining the 10th Tier Pill." Baek Ain answered honestly. There is no use in concealing this information from Lan Rou.

Still, Xuan Yi was the one who gasped this time.

"T-Tenth Tier Pill..." Her whole body trembled in astonishment.

"Yeah, nothing special." Baek Ain indifferently waved his hand.

The corner of Xuan Yi's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Xuan Yi is a 9th Tier Alchemist. Yet her success rate is pitifully lower than 50%.

Some alchemists of the same grade had an even lower success rate of 30%. And they didn't dare to dream about a higher stage as their ability in this current stage is very limited already.

Except for some people with extreme talent, Xuan Yi believed the 9th Tier Alchemist was the ultimate stage.

Baek Ain abruptly brought the 10th Tier Pill to the table, breaking Xuan Yi's common sense.

He also said the 10th Tier Pill is nothing special!

If Xuan Yi didn't have parasites in her body, she might have called Baek Ain "Freak." or some similar nickname alongside colorful language.

"Hubby, should we check the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree?" Qing Lin uttered her thought excitedly.

Lan Rou narrowed her eyes and stared at Qing Lin. After leaving Baek Ain alone with this charming young lady, their relationship clearly grew tremendously.

'She even called him hubby.' Lan Rou thought to herself.

'Maybe I should start using an endearing nickname too...'

But after thinking about it for a bit, Lan Rou denied this idea.

"No, not now." Baek Ain stared at the sky calmly. "There is still a barrier around the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree."

"Even a 6-Star Dou Saint couldn't break it."

"Even 6-Star Dou Saint couldn't break it?" The three ladies were dumbfounded.

[But you could, right Host?] Alicia suddenly questioned Baek Ain.

Baek Ain smiled and didn't reply to Alicia's question. He was eager to get a chance to experience one hundred reincarnations but chose to wait for the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree to reveal itself first.

He also wants to make a small debut for Behemoth Paradise.

"The barrier will disappear in a week." Baek Ain added calmly. "In the meantime, I want to absorb the Three Thousand Burning Flame."

"Follow me." Lan Rou smiled slightly.

...

...

In the depth of Pill Realm, another space is "actually." connected to it.

It was called Star Region, a place with deep, profound star energy and even connected to the void.

It is where the Three Thousand Burning Flame sealed for hundreds if not thousands of years.

In a starry field, a purple blaze hovered soundlessly. A pair of draconic eyes opened upon sensing four unfamiliar presences, giving off a dangerous gleam.

The starry field shook violently, becoming a massive creature with deep purple scales and bat-like wings.

ROAR!!

An angry dragon's roar echoed in the Star Region.
