Nie Yun felt his True Qi fall into disarray, and he almost lost control of himself.

If it had been any other woman, no matter how beautiful, Nie Yun wouldn’t have found it so hard to resist temptation. The crucial part was that this was Luo Qingcheng. He wasn’t a fool; he knew of her feelings for him. He even held a trace of affection for her himself, but he had suppressed it because of the memory of that other figure.

Now, suddenly seeing the girl’s naked body and hearing such enchanting moans, the flames in his heart felt like they could ignite at any moment.

’This isn’t right. What am I thinking about at a time like this? Breaking through to the Qi Sect with a single Cultivation Technique is definitely difficult. In her current state, she’s probably reached a Critical Point where she can’t hold on any longer. She needs help. And here I am, thinking such filthy thoughts...’

But Nie Yun was Nie Yun. The advantage of his Soul Power, which had reached the Peak of Qi Sea, revealed itself at this critical moment. In an instant, he became completely calm.

Luo Qingcheng was incomparably beautiful and held feelings for him, but he wasn’t some pig who’d pounce on any woman he saw or take advantage of someone in their moment of vulnerability. Once he cleared his head, all traces of lust vanished from his eyes. He turned around, and with a flick of his hand, Spirit Stones appeared in his palm again. Under the stripping force of his powerful Soul Power, streams of Spiritual Qi formed a Spiritual Energy Vortex that surged rapidly toward the girl’s body.

"Qingcheng, quickly absorb this Spiritual Qi and convert it to True Qi! I’ll help you break through to the Qi Sect!"

With a sharp command, Nie Yun’s potent power pressed against the girl’s back and poured into her body.

CRACKLE!

A series of crisp pops, like stir-frying beans, echoed as all the blockages in Luo Qingcheng’s body were instantly cleared. A potent stream of power poured down from above, rushing straight into her Qi Sea and forming a Radiant vortex.

Qi Sect, achieved!

"So this is the Qi Sect realm?" Feeling the change in her power, Luo Qingcheng opened her eyes, which faintly glowed with excitement. But when she realized she was standing completely naked in front of Nie Yun, her pretty face immediately flushed pink.

"Don’t let your mind wander! Focus on your Dantian and gather the Spiritual Qi!"

Nie Yun shouted, and with another flick of his hand, all the Spirit Stones in the air shattered at once. The coalesced Spiritual Qi treated Luo Qingcheng as the eye of a storm, pouring down into her from above.

"Mm!"

Luo Qingcheng knew the young man meant well. She nodded, opened her mouth, and drank in the Spiritual Qi like a great whale drinking water.

CRACK! CRACK!

A massive amount of Spiritual Qi rushed into her Qi Sea. Her Dantian, bathed in the current, spun continuously, refining her True Qi until it grew increasingly Pure. An unknown amount of time passed before Luo Qingcheng stood up with a soft moan. A series of pops echoed from her body as her entire disposition underwent a rapid transformation.

Early-Stage Qi Sect, Mid-Stage Qi Sect, Late-Stage Qi Sect, Peak of Qi Sect!

In less than two breaths, her strength soared from Early-Stage Qi Sect to the Peak of Qi Sect, leaving her just a hair’s breadth away from breaking through to the Ultimate Venerable realm.

"Thank you for your help. Without you, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have even been able to break through to the Qi Sect realm, let alone reach the Peak of Qi Sect..."

Opening her eyes again, Luo Qingcheng felt the surging power in her Qi Sea and nodded gratefully at the young man before her.

She knew her own situation best. Even with the Baihua Sect’s Secret Technique, without the young man’s help and the massive influx of Spiritual Qi, it was questionable whether she could have even reached Early-Stage Qi Sect, much less the Peak!

"You should probably get some clothes on first," Nie Yun said, shaking his head.

"Ah...!" Luo Qingcheng shrieked and her naked body scrambled away. A short while later, she emerged dressed in white, her face as red as an apple, not daring to look at Nie Yun again.

"I’ve found out that my parents and the others are in the Divine Holy Empire. City Lord Luoo might be there too. Do you want to go?"

Ignoring her girlish reaction, Nie Yun spoke in a steady voice.

Seeing Luo Qingcheng naked had certainly stirred him, but he knew what was important. He quickly suppressed that flicker of desire, not letting a hint of it show on his face.

"My father is in the Divine Holy Empire? I have to go!" A determined look appeared in Luo Qingcheng’s eyes.

"You’re a Qi Sect cultivator now, so you can’t fly yet. I’ll have Zi Tong carry you. If we run into a fight, do not get involved, no matter what!" Nie Yun instructed.

Peak of Qi Sect was considered the pinnacle of power in some small towns, but to Nie Yun and his group, it was nothing special. If they encountered real danger, even an Early-Stage Ultimate Venerable might not escape with their life, let alone a mere Qi Sect cultivator.

"Okay, I understand," Luo Qingcheng nodded.

"Let’s go."

Seeing the girl agree, Nie Yun wrapped an arm around her soft waist, and with a kick of his feet, flew toward the Imperial Palace.

Luo Qingcheng’s method of advancing to the Qi Sect realm was different, and her Cultivation this time had taken a long while. Helping her advance to the Peak of Qi Sect had taken up the entire night. In the blink of an eye, the sun was bouncing on the eastern horizon.

Just as the two arrived above the Imperial Palace, they saw the sky filled with figures. The Three Great Demon Pets, Baihua Xiu, Mu Qing, Mu Xia, and the others were already prepared.

Of course, the Wind Wolf King was in his human form at the moment. Dressed in black robes and a small leather cap, he was completely unassuming and looked no different from an Ordinary Ultimate Venerable. No one could tell he was actually a Secret Realm Powerhouse.

"Nie Yun, you haven’t introduced this master to us yet?"

Seeing the young man arrive, Mu Qing pointed at the Wind Wolf King and asked, puzzled.

It was no wonder she was confused. Only Nie Yun and the other two Demon Pets knew that the Wind Wolf King had advanced to the Secret Realm and transformed into a human. Mu Qing and the others merely thought the young man before them was an Ordinary Ultimate Venerable, unaware that this man in black possessed the most terrifying strength of them all.

"This is my friend, Xiaofong. Xiaofong, say hello to everyone."

Nie Yun had no intention of revealing his identity as the Wind Wolf King, so he casually changed the name "Xiaolang" to "Xiaofong."

If Luoo Xiaofeng heard this name, he’d probably cry himself to death. After all this time, his name had been given to a wolf.

"Yes. I am Xiaofong. A pleasure to meet you all." The Wind Wolf King’s expression was blank as he casually cupped his fists in greeting.

"This is my friend, Luo Qingcheng! This trip to the Divine Holy Empire has a lot to do with her, too." After introducing the Wind Wolf King, Nie Yun introduced the girl in his arms.

"You’ve already reached the Peak of Qi Sect? It’s still very dangerous to go to the Divine Holy Empire at the Peak of Qi Sect!"

Baihua Xiu suddenly spoke up.

"Master..."

Seeing her master before her, Luo Qingcheng didn’t know how to explain.

"Baihua Xiu, she’s your disciple? It seems..." Mu Qing glanced at Nie Yun, then at the girl in his arms, and then back at Baihua Xiu with a strange expression.

"Stop your nonsense!" Baihua Xiu seemed to know what Mu Qing was thinking, and her face flushed.

"Zi Tong, come over and carry Qingcheng. Let’s get going!"

Seeing the situation was a bit awkward, Nie Yun scratched his head, casually tossed the girl in his arms onto Zi Tong’s back, and gave the order before taking the lead and flying off toward the Divine Holy Empire.

"Let’s go!"

Seeing the young man move out, the group responded in unison and followed closely behind, transforming into several streaks of Flowing Light that shot straight toward the horizon.

This is an era where readers create Gods! My friends, charge!

Let me borrow a line from a reader: You see my burst of Chapters, but not my sleepless nights. You have your Great Gods; I have my favorite novel. You mock me for being stuck in a slump, unable to reach godhood. I pity you for always waiting. You can laugh at my performance, but I will prove this is the era of creating Gods. The path to godhood is destined to be a thorny one. There’s bound to be doubt and ridicule along the way, but so what? Even if I’m battered and bruised, I must fight on. I am Cross the World, and I write my own legend! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets.
