【"Dropping the ball at a critical moment is the most fatal mistake!"】

【"We’re already at the brink of life and death, and now you’re telling me there’s no ammunition?"】

【"Is this some kind of joke?"】

【Ye Yu didn’t have time to complain further. Without the slightest hesitation, he sped straight toward Ye Zhendong’s cultivation chamber.】

【With practiced ease, he opened a hidden compartment in the ground and pulled out a Storage Ring.】

【This was Ye Zhendong’s secretly stashed private savings.】

【The old man thought he had hidden it perfectly, but little did he know, Ye Yu had discovered this spot long ago.】

【After obtaining Ye Zhendong’s hidden Divine Stones, Ye Yu originally planned to recharge eight thousand, shatter Tang Yuansheng’s projection, and then drag his true body from the God Realm here so he could learn exactly why flowers are so red.】

【But unexpectedly, there were only a little over three thousand six hundred Divine Stones left inside the Storage Ring.】

【"Tch, what a poor bastard. How do you spend Divine Stones this fast?"】

【Ye Yu curled his lips slightly, then had no choice but to select the first solution.】

【As three thousand Divine Stones were poured into the Cloud Nurturing Compass—】

【A strand of Ye Yu’s consciousness instantly fell from the God Realm downward.】

【Meanwhile, in the Celestial World—】

【Qi Yuan was completely unable to break free from the Ghost God restraints and could only continue falling into the Abyss of the Underworld.】

【The wailing of ghosts grew louder and louder, and her consciousness became increasingly scattered.】

【Memories of her exchanges with Ye Yu over the years kept flashing through her mind.】

【Although they had never met face to face, Qi Yuan still held an inexplicable feeling toward him.】

【If not for his help over the years, she would have likely starved to death beside the city walls of the Mortal Kingdom long ago.】

【To have made it this far, she was already extremely fortunate.】

【As long as Senior was there, Qi Yuan had never feared facing any danger.】

【Senior would always protect her!】

【Even now, as she was about to completely lose consciousness, she still believed this without doubt.】

【The next moment, a figure suddenly appeared and grabbed her hand.】

【Immediately after, they shot upward at incredible speed!】

【All the surrounding ghostly projections retreated in terror, letting out frightened wails—】

【As if they had seen something unimaginably horrifying!】

【In the blink of an eye, Qi Yuan had already returned to the surface, and everything around her became bright once more!】

【As the formation dissipated, sunlight fell directly onto Ye Yu’s face.】

【It made him appear radiant and full of spirit. Qi Yuan could no longer look away.】

【Senior... actually came to my side?】

【He looks even better than in the paintings!】

【On the opposite side, Tang Yuansheng was greatly shocked upon seeing Ye Yu appear.】

"You were able to descend into the Celestial World without using any secret sacrificial technique. Just how did you do it?"

【Hearing this, Ye Yu had no intention of answering and immediately prepared to act.】

【But at that very moment, Tang Yuansheng’s projection began to dissipate.】

【The Abyss of the Underworld divine art consumed far too much energy.】

【The small amount of ghost energy Tang Mo had simply couldn’t sustain it for long.】

【Without a supply of ghost energy, Tang Yuansheng’s projection naturally had to disperse.】

【As he was about to disappear, he revealed a ferocious smile.】

"Not answering? Fine. Tomorrow, when I kill you in the God Realm, I’ll learn everything myself."

"Falling Radiance Divine Mountain. Don’t be absent. Even if you’re too afraid to come, it doesn’t matter—because I’ve already memorized your face. Heh heh heh!"

【Amid his grating laughter, Tang Yuansheng’s projection completely vanished.】

【Seeing this, Ye Yu felt extremely displeased.】

【He had just recharged three thousand Divine Stones and was ready to vent his anger, to properly enjoy the pleasure of spending them.】

【But before he could even start fighting, the guy ran away?】

【Wasn’t that a complete loss?】

【The more Ye Yu thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he immediately let out a cold snort!】

【Although it was only a projection and far weaker than his true body—】

【His emotions still caused the heavens and earth to tremble, and a dull thunderclap suddenly rang out.】

【The sudden thunder frightened Qi Yuan, and she instinctively grabbed Ye Yu’s arm.】

【Ye Yu lowered his head and glanced at her.】

【To be honest, this was also the first time he had looked at Qi Yuan from such a close distance.】

【Before, it had always been a bird’s-eye view. Now, it was almost eye level.】

【This little girl looked quite cute—who would have thought she was actually this tall?】

【She was almost as tall as him!】

【Seeing Ye Yu remain silent, Qi Yuan thought he disliked physical contact, so she immediately released her hands and stepped back half a step.】

"Senior, I—I’m sorry. I troubled you again. But I really didn’t expect you to come personally!"

【Ye Yu said calmly, "This is only a strand of my projection. Next time you encounter an opponent you cannot defeat, be more careful. Staying alive is the most important thing."】

【Qi Yuan’s heart trembled violently.】

【Is Senior... worried about me?】

【Summoning her courage, Qi Yuan raised her head to look at him. Just as she was about to speak, she saw a faint red light begin to emanate from Ye Yu’s body.】

【What’s going on? It wasn’t like this before?】

【Ye Yu also noticed the change in his projection. Just as he was about to question the system, he suddenly realized the surrounding scene instantly shifted!】

【When everything stabilized, he found that his consciousness had already returned to the God Realm.】

【"Damn it, the classic red light recall."】

【"And the Cloud Nurturing Compass is as black-hearted as ever!"】

【"Three thousand Divine Stones only bought this little time? Fine, you win!"】

【Within the projection of the Cloud Nurturing Compass, Qi Yuan looked up at the sky with a worried expression.】

"Senior, are you alright?"

【Ye Yu said calmly, "I’m fine. My time descending into the Celestial World simply ran out. Continue cultivating properly."】

【Qi Yuan immediately let out a sigh of relief and nodded seriously.】

【After closing the Cloud Nurturing Compass, Ye Yu walked straight outside.】

【However, the moment he opened the door, he ran straight into Ye Zhendong.】

【Both of their expressions stiffened instantly.】

【Ye Zhendong took several steps back in disbelief and carefully checked the doorway.】

【Yes, this is my cultivation chamber.】

【Then why is Yu’er here?】

【No, this kid never comes without a reason. If he came while I was away, he must be up to something.】

【Ye Zhendong stepped forward, grabbed Ye Yu’s sleeve, and looked inside carefully. Soon, he discovered the opened hidden compartment.】

【His heart jolted violently.】

【Damn it, how did this brat find where I hid my private savings?】

【Seeing the Storage Ring lying on the ground, Ye Zhendong instantly understood—the Divine Stones inside were definitely gone.】

【He immediately tightened his grip and said seriously, "Hand over the Divine Stones before you leave!"】
