At this moment, above the clouds, auspicious golden light filled the heavens, centered on a sole figure like the sun and spreading outwards.

The breakthrough was a success!

Ye Fan slowly opened his eyes, feeling the surging power of the Golden Core Realm within his being, and let out a loud roar before gradually calming down.

"In my past life, it had taken me over two thousand years to reach this step and enter the Golden Core Realm, but now, I achieved it in less than 800 years. By the time I approach three thousand years of age this time, I’ll already be at the Nascent Soul Realm, almost returning to my peak and achieving Tribulation Transcendence Realm to ascend!"

A Golden Core Realm under 800 years old was an absolute genius in the entire universe, the kind that only appears once in thousands of years, with the potential for Tribulation Transcendence.

Relying on his future knowledge, Ye Fan had intercepted and collected many emerging supreme opportunities that could have created many Golden Core Realm and even Void Refinement Realm powerhouses in the future timeline over the past centuries, otherwise, even with his cultivation memories or the supreme techniques he knew, it would have been difficult for him to even reach the peak of the Innate Realm just relying on cultivation in earth’s environment.

This was not the Second Great Mortal World or the golden Mythical Era where opportunities were everywhere and Golden Core Realm cultivators were as common as random cats and dogs.

Even the Spirit Qi of the Qingyun Region alone completely surpassed that of the entire Milky Way; even the successor of any Nascent Soul Realm power could be forcefully pushed to the Golden Core Realm within a thousand years by piling up resources and be granted the title of genius.

It might seem like the universe was always full of extraordinary powers, but in reality, the Age of Spirit Recovery had only begun nearly thirty million years ago, around the same time as the beginning of the Mythical Era in the Lower Realm.

Earth was just hit a little later, and there were still places where Spirit Qi had just begun to recover.

Opportunities that were extremely rare in the Myriad Worlds were merely a bit uncommon in the Lower Realm of the Mythical Era, specially in this universe which had a shallow foundation, similar to the early stages of the Desolate Era in the Lower Realm.

Ye Fan’s Divine Sense swept across the entire globe, a frown appearing on his face.

"That woman... I still can’t sense her, did she somehow leave the planet? Or did she die?"

As someone who once nearly ascended beyond the Tribulation Transcendence Realm in the environment of the Myriad Worlds, he was a ruthless person.

How could he not know the principle of uprooting the weeds by their roots so they don’t grow again in the spring breeze?

Unfortunately, no matter how much he searched, he couldn’t seem to find her, ultimately giving up for the time being.

"Never mind, I have already intercepted all major opportunities on earth that will appear for the next few hundred years corresponding to Golden Core Realm and higher. It would be best if she dies, but even if she survives, with merely Three-Elemental Spiritual Roots, she possibly can’t achieve the Golden Core Realm without a great opportunity rare to find in the entire galaxy. I’ll just search for her after I reach higher levels."

As he thought of this, Ye Fan’s heart returned to tranquility.

Although everything was possible in the Immortal Cultivation World and stories of trash making comebacks or coming back for revenge were real, it was not everyday such a thing happened.

It was more like a once in a century or so event; you’d have to be extremely unlucky to encounter it across the vast universe.

And Ye Fan did not believe it would happen to him, after all, since he was able to regress to the past, he must have pretty good Providence, like a Son of Heaven.

By the time the other party reached the stage of being able to traverse the void, attaining the Void Refinement Realm, he might have already ascended to a higher world beyond the universe, there was no comparison at all.

And this was just the worst case scenario.

Ye Fan still had this much confidence in himself.

At this moment, ripples appeared in front of him as a curvaceous figure slowly emerged before his eyes.

It was none other than Wang Xiaomei, one of the top tier Immortal Cultivators on earth, in the later stages of the Innate Realm.

"Since you’ve finally broken through now, what are your plans next? Traveling and stealing the opportunities across the solar system?"

She asked without any reservations or the reverence expected of an Innate Realm cultivator interacting with a Golden Core Realm cultivator.

"It’s not stealing, I’m just claiming opportunities in advance. You make me seem like some sort of bandit."

Ye Fan retorted, to which Wang Xiaomei just gave a noncommittal hum.

"Did you manage to locate her?"

Getting to the main topic, she finally asked.

Ye Fan remained silent for a few moments before answering, "No, but I believe she has either already passed away or isn’t on the planet anymore. Don’t worry, once I attain the Void Refinement Realm, I’ll definitely find her and remove this hidden danger."

Wang Xiaomei gave a faint sigh, "I hope so. If we can obtain the legacy of the Mysterious Star Palace, the path to Tribulation Transcendence will be smooth. After all, the third generation overlord of the Mysterious Star Palace was an Ascender from more than twenty million years ago."

...

2 years later.

Lower Realm, Second Great Mortal World.

Eastern Continent.

Tian Yongheng slowly opened his eyes, a dazzling gleam appearing in his eyes as divine light enveloping the mountain peak for a brief moment before retracting.

At this moment, he had entered the Late Stage of Half Immortal Realm.
