This palace was personally arranged by Xiao Qing, surrounded by Chaos Restrictions that isolated all leakage of Qi.

Above the palace, a Nine-Colored halo could be faintly seen circulating slowly, echoing the seven-colored clouds above the Heavenly Court.

Outside the palace, the Chaos Restrictions swirled, isolating all probing.

At this moment, the interior of the palace was filled with brilliant light.

That light was not an ordinary fluctuation of Spiritual Qi, but the clear, pure aura unique to the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.

Nine colors intertwined, pure and sacred, carrying a pressure that originated from the depths of the bloodline.

The aura broke through the palace and swept across the entire Heavenly Court.

Boom—

All the Cultivators who were Cultivating opened their eyes simultaneously.

They looked up at the beam of light shooting into the sky, feeling that unfamiliar and powerful pressure, their eyes filled with shock.

"This is..." "Earth Sovereign!" "Someone has broken through to Earth Sovereign!"

Figures rushed out from all directions, looking toward the direction of the seclusion palace, their eyes filled with shock and surprise.

In the current Heavenly Court, apart from Xiao Qing, who was a Heavenly Sovereign, there were only a few Earth Sovereigns.

Xiao Xuan, Gu Yuan, Zhu Kun, as well as Gu Xun'er, Zi Yan, and Ying Huanhuan, who had broken through successively before ascending from the two worlds.

The birth of every Earth Sovereign was enough to cause a tremor throughout the entire Heavenly Court.

On the Kyushu Continent, countless Cultivators looked up one after another, gazing toward the direction of the Heavenly Court.

Earth Sovereign. This is the aura of an Earth Sovereign! The Heavenly Court has added another Earth Sovereign!

"This aura... it is Saint Qing Ling!" Someone exclaimed, recognizing the owner of that aura, their tone filled with surprise.

"Saint Qing Ling has broken through! She has reached Earth Sovereign!" "Great! Saint Qing Ling has finally broken through!"

Cheers rose one after another.

Saint Qing Ling. That name had already possessed immense popularity back on the original Tianxuan Continent.

Back when the Yimo Race ravaged the Tianxuan Continent, it was she who traveled across the mountains, rivers, and seas of the continent, purifying the land polluted by Demonic Qi and saving the living beings eroded by Demonic Qi.

Countless people had witnessed her figure with their own eyes, and countless people had received her grace.

She was known as the "Goddess of Salvation," deeply followed and loved by thousands of living beings.

Later, when the two worlds underwent Fusion, she followed the Heavenly Emperor to ascend to the Great Thousand Worlds, and had been in seclusion ever since, striking toward a higher Realm.

Now, after more than half a year, she had finally succeeded in her breakthrough. Earth Sovereign.

From Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint to Earth Sovereign—this step was a chasm that countless Cultivators could not cross in their entire lives. Yet, she had done it. This talent was admirable.

"Saint Qing Ling has broken through!" "Great! Our Heavenly Court has added another Earth Sovereign!" "Let's see who dares to look down on our Kyushu Continent now!"

Countless people cheered and leaped for joy, running to tell each other the news.

For the Kyushu Cultivators who had just established a foothold in the Great Thousand Worlds, the birth of every Earth Sovereign was a tremendous encouragement.

Inside the seclusion palace, Qing Ling slowly opened her eyes. The Nine-Colored halo surrounding her body gradually receded, revealing her pure and transcendent face.

Qing Ling's appearance was already extremely beautiful. Now, after the breakthrough, she had gained a bit more of an ethereal temperament, as if she were a Fairy who did not eat the food of mortals.

Qing Ling looked down at her hands, feeling the brand-new power within her body. Earth Sovereign. She had finally reached this Realm.

From Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint to Earth Sovereign, she had walked this step for half a year. Half a year might not be much in the Lower Plane, but in the Great Thousand Worlds, nurtured by Spiritual Qi, she had done it.

Qing Ling's lips curled up slightly, and a trace of joy flashed in her eyes. From her resurrection until now, it had been more than ten years; she had walked step by step from a mere remnant soul to where she was today. Only she knew how much hardship was involved in this.

Qing Ling took a deep breath, restrained the aura around her body, and stood up. Just then—outside the seclusion palace, a figure in green robes appeared quietly. Xiao Qing.

He had been in seclusion to stabilize his cultivation and strike toward the Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign. However, the aura of Qing Ling's breakthrough was too intense, and it had startled him instantly.

Xiao Qing immediately stopped his practice and left seclusion, his figure flickering as he appeared outside the palace. He sensed that familiar figure inside the palace.

The Nine-Colored light gradually receded. The palace door opened slowly. A figure emerged from the light.

Qing Ling was dressed in a pale-colored long dress, with intricate Nine-Colored patterns embroidered on the hem, swaying gently with her footsteps.

She was surrounded by a faint Nine-Colored halo, and although her aura still appeared slightly unstable, it had already stabilized at the Lower Earth Sovereign.

Her face was increasingly pure and transcendent, her brows and eyes carried the joy of the breakthrough, yet there was also a kind of calmness from having experienced the vicissitudes of life.

Xiao Qing stood at the entrance, his gaze falling on Qing Ling, his eyes filled with approval. "Congratulations." His voice was very soft, yet carried a gentle smile.

"Congratulations for what?" Qing Ling looked at him and sighed softly. That sigh carried a trace of self-mockery, a trace of envy, and a trace of an indescribable emotion.

Qing Ling said softly: "Compared to you, I am far behind."

This was the truth. Xiao Qing was already a Spirit Grade Heavenly Sovereign, only one step away from the Immortal Grade.

Her slight progress was insignificant in front of Xiao Qing.

Spirit Grade Heavenly Sovereign, slaying an Immortal Grade while at a lower level, moving two worlds with a single hand—every single thing Xiao Qing had achieved was something she dared not even imagine.

Xiao Qing smiled lightly, did not refute, walked into the palace, stood before her, and his gaze landed on her.

Having not seen her for half a year, Qing Ling's aura was more solid than before, and her appearance was even more pure and transcendent.

A pale-colored long dress set off her ethereal temperament, and the faint Nine-Colored halo surrounding her body truly earned her the title of "Goddess."

Xiao Qing looked at her stunning figure, and as if remembering something, suddenly said: "I have a cultivation technique here that can help you quickly stabilize your Earth Sovereign Realm and also accelerate the growth of your cultivation."

A trace of curiosity flashed in Qing Ling's eyes, and she asked: "What cultivation technique?"

Xiao Qing did not answer. He just raised his hand, a wisp of Divine Sense condensed at his fingertip, and he gently tapped Qing Ling's forehead.

Qing Ling instinctively wanted to dodge, but did not. That wisp of Divine Sense submerged into her Sea of Consciousness, turning into countless pieces of information that surged in like a tide.

"Great Emperors Inner Canon." This ancient War Emperor Inheritance obtained from the Western Heaven Battle Emperor was an extremely exquisite Dual cultivation technique.

Back then, the Western Heaven Battle Emperor relied on this cultivation technique to climb all the way to Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign in just a few thousand years.

Qing Ling read through it quickly, initially filled with curiosity and anticipation. But gradually, her cheeks began to flush, turning redder and redder, and when she finished reading, she was completely stunned.

"This, this..." Qing Ling opened her eyes, her gaze dodging, her tone carrying a trace of panic, and she said: "This is a Dual cultivation technique?!"

Xiao Qing looked at her shy appearance, and understood in his heart. "The 'Great Emperors Inner Canon,' an ancient Inheritance, an extremely exquisite Dual Cultivation method." And it was the top-tier kind.

"I seized it from the hands of the Western Heaven Battle Emperor." "Although this is a Dual cultivation technique, my current cultivation is approaching Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign. By engaging in Dual Cultivation with you, with Yin and Yang complementing each other, I can help you improve rapidly."

Qing Ling's heart rate accelerated, her cheeks red enough to drip blood. Of course, she knew what a Dual cultivation technique was.

It was a cultivation technique that required both the male and female parties to cultivation together, with Yin and Yang complementing each other and achieving success for one another. But, but she and Xiao Qing...

Qing Ling's mind was a mess, and she did not know what to say. She certainly understood Xiao Qing's meaning. But she dared not look at Xiao Qing at this moment.

Yet in her mind, the scenes of these past years flashed involuntarily. From their meeting in the Small World of the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python to Xiao Qing reshaping her physical body, during which she was seen completely naked by Xiao Qing.

At that time, she was extremely ashamed and angry, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. But what about later? Later, she discovered that she did not seem to be that angry. Even... every time she saw Xiao Qing, her heart would beat a little faster.

Since then, a layer of subtle affection had grown between the two. Qing Ling had always seen and kept in her heart the care Xiao Qing had shown her over these years. It was not ordinary care, but a kind of... indescribable thing. Qing Ling had long since fallen for him. She had just been suppressing this feeling. Now...
