"Boom!!"

  A massive surge of spiritual energy erupted within his body, instantly breaking through the previously loosened bottleneck.

  In less than a day, Yue Qingshan had successfully advanced from the Divine Power Late Stage to the Divine Power Peak.

  And the effect of the Exploding Pill was only one-tenth used.

  Having successfully reached the Divine Power Peak, Yue Qingshan naturally struck while the iron was hot.

  Feeling the endless pain coursing through his body, Yue Qingshan was in great agony.

  But the thought of Yue Mingkong being given to Ye Yun, just to appease Ye Yun's anger, made him endure it.

  Compared to the pain of seeing the woman he loved being given to another man, this pain was nothing.

  "Come on!!"

  Yue Qingshan roared, continuing to sit cross-legged, aiming to break through to the higher Dao Comprehension Realm.

  His entire body turned red, and veins bulged like green snakes under his skin, creating a somewhat terrifying sight.

  Beside Yue Qingshan was a faintly visible elderly figure, the remnant soul of his master, a Grand Saint Realm.

  Stroking his grizzled beard, the remnant soul looked at Yue Qingshan, who was still persisting, with satisfaction in his eyes.

  Having a disciple with outstanding talent and immense endurance made him very pleased.

  Perhaps in the future, this disciple could help him reconstruct his body and give him a chance to cultivate anew.

  This was why he was willing to take Yue Qingshan as his disciple.

  ...

  Meanwhile, Ye Yun arrived at Yun Yao's garden.

  All kinds of Immortal Grass and Spirit Flowers were here, making Ye Yun marvel.

  Truly worthy of the Ye Family, using Immortal Grass and Spirit Flowers as ornamental pnts was unheard of.

  Among these ornamental pnts, there were even those capable of reviving the dead and regenerating bones, rare in the Immortal Domain.

  In the pavilion at the center of the garden, Ye Yun immediately saw Yun Yao sitting there, admiring the flowers.

  Beside her were several maidservants attending to her.

  One shouldn't underestimate these maidservants; even they possessed formidable strength.

  This was the foundation of the Ye Family, unmatched by others.

  Entering the pavilion, Ye Yun slightly cupped his hands and called out.

  "Mother."

  Yun Yao, who had been lost in thought, came back to her senses and saw Ye Yun in front of her.

  A joyful smile appeared on her face as she stood up, took Ye Yun's hand, and said with a smile.

  "Yun is here, come, sit down quickly, Mother has something to tell you."

  Hearing that Yun Yao had something to discuss, Ye Yun became interested.

  What could it be that she suddenly wanted to talk about?

  With a gentle wave of her hand, Yun Yao instructed the surrounding maidservants.

  "You all may leave for now."

  "Yes, Madam." x5.

  The maidservants, fully obedient to Yun Yao's orders, withdrew one by one.

  They didn't go far, just waited at the edge of the garden, ready to be summoned by Yun Yao at any time.

  After all the maidservants left, only Ye Yun and Yun Yao remained in the pavilion.

  "Yun, I have some great news to share with you."

  Yun Yao's face was filled with joy, as if some tremendous good news had arrived.

  This made Ye Yun even more curious about what kind of good news could make his mother so happy.

  "It's like this, you know, Mother has a brother who is the Yun Family Cn Leader.

  He has a daughter, your cousin, the one you pyed with when you were seven or eight, remember? She's coming to visit us soon to see you."

  Upon hearing about his cousin, Ye Yun's expression turned peculiar, memories swirling in his mind.

  After recalling those memories, Ye Yun's face darkened.

  He did have a cousin, but she always liked to cause trouble.

  When he was seven or eight, his cousin was already about ten.

  At that time, she had been cultivating for a while, while Ye Yun had just started. She always enjoyed bullying him.

  Like a little witch, she loved to tease Ye Yun for no reason.

  This left a psychological shadow on Ye Yun, and he swore never to get too close to that cousin.

  Unexpectedly, after all these years, that girl was coming again.

  But now, Ye Yun was no longer the same as before.

  Regarding this so-called cousin, Ye Yun had no fear at all.

  "If Cousin is coming, she's more than welcome."

  Ye Yun smiled, as if the events of his childhood were nothing to worry about.

  "Huh?"

  This time, it was Yun Yao's turn to be puzzled.

  Why did it feel so strange?

  Previously, just hearing the word "cousin" would make Ye Yun shiver.

  Let alone meeting her, even mentioning those words would make him tremble.

  But why was it suddenly different now?

  Could it be that losing control to demonic cultivation could also strengthen one's mental fortitude?

  This was something Yun Yao couldn't understand.

  But seeing her son willing to meet his cousin, Yun Yao was delighted.

  Her brother Yun Feng was now the head of the Yun Family.

  If her brother's daughter could marry her son, the retionship between the Ye Family and the Yun Family would become even stronger.

  The Ye Cn was undoubtedly the most powerful force in the Immortal Domain.

  But the Yun Family was also formidable, one of the Seven Great Powers of the Immortal Domain. Though it couldn't compare to the Ye Family, it was on par with the other five powers.

  The Ye Family and the Yun Family had always had a good retionship, which was further solidified when Ye Changkong and Yun Yao married, forming an alliance.

  Now, Yun Yao wanted to strengthen this retionship further.

  So, she set her sights on her brother's daughter.

  Ye Yun looked at Yun Yao with feigned confusion and asked.

  "Mother, what's the matter? Did I say something wrong? If Cousin wants to come, let her come."

  He wasn't worried about being exposed; everything could be bmed on losing control to demonic cultivation, which was no big deal.

  Yun Yao, snapping back to reality, shook her head in disbelief.

  "Nothing, it's just... you don't mind your cousin anymore?"

  Yun Yao was very curious about what was going on in Ye Yun's mind.

  "Cousin is beautiful and charming; how could I mind her?"

  The old Ye Yun would never have said such a thing.

  Seeing her son no longer feared his cousin, Yun Yao ughed.

  "Good! Very good! Yun has grown up, hahaha!"

  She already had a pn in mind.

  Originally, she thought of bringing her brother's daughter over to see if there was any connection between her and her son.

  If Ye Yun no longer feared his cousin, perhaps they could form a bond.

  This was what Yun Yao truly wanted to see.

  Yun Yao, having married into the Ye Family, was naturally part of it, but she still wanted to consider her own family.
