As the godly pressure slowly intensified, everyone’s gaze toward that figure with only Spiritual Essence Realm cultivation grew increasingly mocking. If this continues, the Spiritual Power within him won’t be enough to support his journey to the end of the Heaven-Reaching Road.

"I want to see how far the person you personally chose can go with you, hmph," Li Mofeng sneered coldly as he looked at that astonishing figure. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Although Luo Qingxian and Ye Xiaofan’s comprehension speed wasn’t slow at this moment, having already crossed many Heaven-Reaching Pillars, this was only temporary. The later stages of the insight testing would become more terrifying, and current speed meant nothing.

Not only Li Mofeng, but many of the Hundred Sects’ peerless prodigy peak representatives were also watching that figure, all secretly shaking their heads, with some adversarial forces showing disdain and ridicule, as if his appearance here was an oddity, unworthy of accompanying them on the Heaven-Reaching Road.

Even Yunmo Xi and Xu Qinghe couldn’t help but gradually lose interest, evidently feeling a different kind of disappointment.

Yet as time slowly passed.

At a certain moment.

An unexpected change suddenly occurred.

Ye Xiaofan’s face changed abruptly, while comprehending a Heaven-Reaching Pillar rune, he suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of urgency appearing in his pupils.

This scene instantly startled Luo Qingxian beside him, whose beautiful eyes showed a trace of worry as she urgently said, "Junior Brother Ye, what’s wrong?"

Ye Xiaofan’s breath quickened upon hearing, and he looked at Luo Qingxian with surprise, saying, "True Self Shackles."

"What?"

Boom——!!!

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingxian was shocked and pale. True Self Shackles meant Ye Xiaofan sensed the appearance of true self shackles, signifying that he was about to step into the True Self Realm.

This isn’t the key issue; the real issue is why it’s happening now.

"You haven’t fused with the last Spiritual Essence yet. If you break through now, then the Ten Elements Unification has no chance," Luo Qingxian recalled, her beautiful eyes full of chaos.

Logically, Ye Xiaofan shouldn’t be touching the True Self Shackles so soon, but he had fused nine Spiritual Essences to forcefully step into the Half-Step True Self Realm, and the fusion had already reached its peak. Now, with the slightest enhancement from comprehending the Heaven-Reaching Pillar, he unexpectedly touched the True Self Shackles.

While Luo Qingxian was shocked, Ye Xiaofan instinctively looked around and then fixed his gaze on Luo Qingxian.

From his eyes, Luo Qingxian seemed to have already guessed Ye Xiaofan’s thoughts, her beautiful face instantly changing with shock, "You... you’re not thinking of fusing with the last Spiritual Essence now, are you?"

Seeing his determined eyes, Luo Qingxian’s delicate body trembled, blankly scanning her surroundings.

The Ten Elements Unification was information Ye Xiaofan hadn’t yet revealed to everyone. Choosing to fuse now would undoubtedly expose him to everyone’s view.

Moreover, at that moment, his Profound Sea Illusion Realm would replace this world, encompassing everyone within it. After all, on the Heaven-Reaching Road, restrictions adapt to all magical artifacts, and she couldn’t shield Ye Xiaofan with the garden artifact like last time.

Once he achieves Ten Elements Unification, who knows what kind of uproar it will cause. When the figure behind witnesses this, she might not hesitate to strike and kill them both, making the situation extremely precarious.

But if he doesn’t fuse, once the True Self Shackles fully emerge, Ye Xiaofan would lose the chance to merge the ten Spiritual Essences.

Fusion is the only choice.

There’s no way he can forsake Ten Elements Unification for this.

For a moment, Ye Xiaofan’s breath became exceedingly rapid, and Luo Qingxian’s heart beat like thunder, as if she had already foreseen something.
