The Giant Ancestor was filled with such fighting spirit as he left that Yi Mingxue stared at him without blinking.
The truly shocking thing was that after leaving that palace, he apparently attacked the True Flame Country, challenging the True Flame Emperor to a fight.
A fight between Emperors was rare and this was happening today.
A great ripple of power shook the entire Sacred Silk Realm, making many weaklings frightened.
In the end, Giant Ancestor had to flee as he was about to die.
The True Flame Emperor who was enraged at being challenged chased and searched for him, but as someone who understood the Dao to the limit, Giant Ancestor easily hid from his detection.
Even he might have been hiding in the capital of the True Flame Country and the True Flame Emperor still couldn't find him.
This was the advantage of those who understood the Dao to the limit, their ability to hide was unparalleled.
Time passed and Asher continued his fingers by observing Father Tree while Yi Mingxue focused more on cultivating, not invading other people's territory anymore.
After 300 billion years, she finally became a Great Paragon, breaking through in two Daos as well as mastering many secret techniques so that her strength instantly increased until she was able to fight with a 2nd Stage Great Paragon.
Her sword had also strangely increased in strength, becoming equivalent to the most powerful 2nd Stage Weapon.
Her strength had reached the level of a true lord.
In the Sacred Silk Realm, she remained calm, yet in her native Great Universe, she began to make a lot of noise, waging wars everywhere to seize other people's territories.
Incidentally, that Great Universe was without any 3rd Stage Great Paragons, the strongest being only 2nd Stage Great Paragons. They all had average combat strength as they lacked 3rd Stage Weapons and secret techniques to increase their combat strength.
There, Yi Mingxue had practically no enemies that could threaten her anymore so she could run rampant.
By continuing to fight, it probably wouldn't be long before she broke through to the 2nd Stage.
However, after that, her path would become much more difficult. She could directly become a Great Paragon King by relying on her sword having increased in strength, but becoming a Great Paragon King relying on secret techniques, that was also difficult because mastering secret techniques to increase combat power to the 3rd Stage was not something easy.
The breakthrough to the 2nd Stage would basically not increase her combat power much for a while if she didn't use her sword.
700 billion years later, her breakthrough to the Great Paragon 2nd Stage was finally successful. First she broke through in the Dao of Destruction then in the Dao of Life after 50 billion years.
Unfortunately, as Asher predicted, years after breaking through to the 2nd Stage, she had not been able to become a Great Paragon King by relying on secret techniques.
Clearly, now she was already on par with the Dark Forest Sect Master.
However, since no one knew that her sword had undergone an increase in strength along with her breakthrough, so no one gave her the title of Great Paragon King. She was seen as an ordinary 2nd Stage Great Paragon.
For a 2nd Stage Great Paragon, it was not easy at all to obtain a 3rd Stage Weapon.
Her advancement was expected by many because of her accomplishments while a Paragon.
Only, it was still meaningless to peak experts like the Emperors.
There were many geniuses like Yi Mingxue, having progressed quickly but stalled as a 2nd Stage Great Paragon for a long time.
If she was known to possess a 3rd Stage Weapon, she would be more respected.
However, if she wanted to make many people envious, she had to break through to the 3rd Stage Great Paragon. Even without a Supreme Weapon thus not obtaining the title of Emperor, it was still a highly respected and praised position even though some Great Paragon Kings might be on par with them.
Since becoming a 2nd Stage Great Paragon, Yi Mingxue focused on entering many dangerous secret places by sending out her avatars. She had many avatars by relying on the Dao of Life. Even three of her entire body could possess full combat power. This gave her an advantage when it came to exploring.
One day, Asher called out to her.
"Master!" Yi Mingxue greeted him when they met.
She was already stronger than him with her weapon, but she did not dare to be the least bit disrespectful to him because she had already begun to guess what kind of existence her teacher was when she saw how the Giant Ancestor treated him.
"Accompany me to the capital of the True Flame Country," Asher said, telling her the reason he had summoned her.
This naturally surprised her because until now, he had not left her palace.
What did he want to do in that country?
Of course, she did not dare to ask her teacher's business. She nodded lightly.
After that, she personally took him to teleport directly to that capital, not wanting her teacher to waste his energy by teleporting himself.
With a single teleportation, they directly reached that capital, Flame Emperor City.
It was a very large and magnificent city, filled with luxurious palaces along the streets.
It was ten thousand times larger in area than Yi Mingxue's city, hiding many mighty auras.
Of the approximately 1000 Great Paragons, at least 70 of them lived in this city because the True Flame Country had the most Great Paragons.
They even had three Emperors including the True Flame Emperor, the Life Emperor with his Dao of Life and the Cloud Emperor.
The three of them were sworn brothers from youth and reached heights in the Sacred Silk Realm together.
Each of them were natives and had countless descendants that became the three largest clans by giving birth to many grills that eventually became Great Paragons.
Unfortunately, there were no other 3rd Stage Great Paragons besides them. The rest were 2nd and 1st Stage Great Paragons.
Only, all the 2nd Stage Great Paragons in this country were Great Paragon Kings.
Even some of them were truly equivalent to 3rd Stage Great Paragons in every aspect as they managed to master some of the strongest secret techniques.
Of course, they had achieved these accomplishments with a very long accumulation. Compared to them, Yi Mingxue was too young.
Moreover, Asher did not ask her to focus too much on secret techniques. He asked her to be more concerned with the advancement of her cultivation realm. It was important that she advanced to the 3rd Stage, at least before her native Great Universe experienced a great apocalypse so that she could survive there.
Asher surveyed the city.
His arrival with Yi Mingxue was detected by the city spirit.
Since the city was under an enormous formation and city, it naturally had a spirit that served as a manager and watchdog.
It tracked down anyone who had Paragon cultivation and above and watched them relentlessly. No one could evade its detection except for 3rd Stage Great Paragons.
At this moment, the city spirit appeared in a courtyard beside the lake where three men were sitting at a small table.
One was a man in his 30s with red hair. He gave off a calm impression yet anyone who looked at him knew that he could explode with boundless power.
Of course, he was the True Flame Emperor.
The other two men had the appearance of also being in their 30s. One had a body so fat that he had to wear a large robe. He was almost like a pufferfish, exuding an aura full of vitality, the Life Emperor.
The last man looked ordinary, lacking even a hint of luxury in his appearance, like a man you could easily meet by the roadside. He was the Cloud Emperor.
"Mm..." The three of them stared at the city spirit who had the appearance of an old man.
"Old Spirit, what's wrong?" asked the True Flame Emperor.
Only when there was something extremely important did the spirit come to see him.
"Master, just now Yi Mingxue came with her teacher, that mysterious Paragon. I see he is still a Paragon while his disciple has become a 2nd Stage Great Paragon," the old spirit replied.
If it was just Yi Mingxue's arrival, he wouldn't have sent word to these three emperors, yet her teacher, that strange Paragon was the figure that kept them in constant discussion.
After hearing the spirit's answer, they looked at each other strangely.
"I heard he never left the city, never even left Yi Mingxue's palace, yet today he suddenly appeared in our city, this is really strange," said Cloud Emperor, speaking first while True Flame Emperor held his chin.
As for the Life Emperor, his eyes were shining brightly.
"My brothers, we've always been curious about him. Now that he is in our territory, doesn't this mean we can capture him? If we catch him, we will definitely discover his secret," he said in an excited tone as he presented his idea.
However, his words made the True Flame Emperor and the Cloud Emperor roll their eyes.
"If we cooperate and act against a Paragon, wouldn't that damage our own reputation as Emperors? Maybe we can still do it, but this mysterious Paragon is too strange. I'm afraid, something bad will happen when we fight him." Emperor Cloud replied.
The Life Emperor had an uncontrollable personality, which was why he often came up with absurd ideas.
Although unlike the Giant Ancestor who knew Asher's true identity, Cloud Emperor and True Flame Emperor still took him seriously although they also didn't go as far as thinking that he was a Master of Void.
That was too far away, they didn't dare to think that way.
"Then what are we going to do?" asked the Life Emperor, looking at the True Flame Emperor, wanting him to answer since he hadn't spoken until now.
In truth, his eyes were looking in a certain direction, the location where Asher and Yi Mingxue were.
The two began to stroll through the city with Yi Mingxue following behind.
"It's better if we just keep an eye on him. As for the secret, it will definitely reveal itself in the future. Perhaps he himself will reveal it. Right now, I just want to know what he's going to do in this city," said the True Flame Emperor.
Right after that, he suddenly saw Asher enter the largest cultivation shop owned by the country.
