'What about Jian Yixue?' Qin Yuan wondered and looked east.
He thought that Jian Yixue would probably have a better result because there was something about her that Ye Qingyue lacked.
Whoosh!
Right after he spoke, something shot into the sky from the far east, breaking through time and space. The momentum wasn't as great as Ye Qingyue's, but if we were to talk about ferocity, it was much more ferocious.
When people could see clearly, they finally realized that it was a sword.
It has three colors, the center is red while the left side is black and the right side is gold. Each emits a different aura, from a different path. Every path is at its peak, possessing unimaginable depths.
The sword didn't stop, directly entering one of the vortexes where Divinity was. In just a split second, the sword came out again, carrying a Divinity behind it. It then entered the other vortexes one by one.
Before people could show their admiration, the sword had already managed to take ten Divinities. It then descended, landing on the highest mountain peak in the east.
Whoosh!
The figure of a woman in a white kimono dress appeared on the hilt of the sword. Her gray hair was tied in a neat bun while her eyes were closed. She seemed to ignore the world and the countless gazes upon her. Her breathing was calm, as if she was asleep.
"She has a different temperament, just like the aloof Goddess above the nine heavens," said some people in admiration.
"There is a reason why Venerable Eternal Eternal favors her so much, even as a Paragon, her aura surpasses that of a Great Emperor."
"I heard she has a very bitter past, enough to make most people unable to live life anymore, but look at her, still calm."
"Indeed, she has the destiny to become a True Goddess."
"Let's see how she is after fusing with those Divinities."
Whoosh! Whoosh!
One by one, the Divinities entered Jian Yixue's body, causing her complexion to glow brightly.
Her closed eyes then opened, and it shook the world instantly. The entire Divine Continent seemed to be scared by her gaze.
"She is…" In the west, Ye Qingyue pursed her lips as she looked at Jian Yixue. She was satisfied with the way she robbed her Divinities and the results of her cultivation. However, when she saw Jian Yixue, she couldn't help but frown, something that made their relationship never really stabilize even though they had almost become friends so many times.
'I hope Second Tier is her limit,' she thought.
If Jian Yixue were to suddenly surpass her, then her status would be one level lower. Even if she caught up with her later, there were stories in the past that they robbed the Divinity on the same day but Jian Yixue reached a level above her.
Unfortunately, her mind quickly shook as a boundless aura radiated from Jian Yixue's body. In an instant, Jian Yixue's aura instantly became on par with her so she had no other choice but to grind her teeth even harder. She knew that it was only the beginning.
BANG!
The entire continent suddenly seemed to explode, as if it could no longer withstand Jian Yixue's strength.
Luckily, at the same time, there was an invisible aura protecting the continent or else it would really explode.
"Third Tier," Ye Qingyue said in a trembling voice.
As for Qin Yuan, he thought, 'Luckily I've become an Immortal.'
He thought that if his strength was still at the Third Tier, there would be some problems. Maybe Jian Yixue would do some unexpected things because of her obsession with him.
The one thing he regretted was that he had gained nothing from Jian Yixue's breakthrough because she was not his disciple.
"The young have finally surpassed the old, it's an unpleasant feeling." The always cheerful Scarlet Queen pouted slightly.
She cultivated for who knows how many million years and then someone who was even younger than her daughter had already surpassed her, perhaps in the future, she would only fall further behind.
Qin Yuan pinched her waist at her words. "This girl is indeed different, I have studied many tales of the Epoch Giants and not many even come close to her in talent and determination, even among Immortals, many are inferior to her."
"What if there were more like her?" asked the Scarlet Queen.
Qin Yuan shook his head as he replied, "that's impossible, finding one isn't easy at all."
After saying that, Qin Yuan stood up. "I'll meet them first!"
Whoosh!
He took a step, vanishing right out of there, causing the Queen to frown again at being left alone.

Qin Yuan signaled Jian Yixue and Ye Qingyue to come to his place on the continent.
They didn't delay, after receiving the signal, they immediately came to the place, disappeared from people's sight and appeared directly in front of Qin Yuan who was currently sitting on a sofa.
Besides their different strengths, their appearances were also different.
Qin Yuan observed them more closely. Their skin became lighter and even their bodies became slightly taller. Despite their appearance as if they were in their mid-20s, they no longer gave off the impression of a young woman, but a mature woman who was already much bigger than the others.
Right after they appeared, Ye Qingyue glanced at Jian Yixue who was standing beside her. However, to her surprise, Jian Yixue didn't even spare her a single glance, in fact, it looked like she didn't even notice her. Her eyes only fell on Qin Yuan.
"Ehmmmm…" Qin Yuan cleared his throat.
"Firstly, congratulations on your breakthrough! With your current strength, even if you go to the Heaven, you are no longer small figures." He said with a faint smile and then looked at Ye Qingyue. "Don't be discouraged, in the Divine Light Realm itself, there aren't many equals to you, even less among women. I'm sure you'll break through to the next level soon as long as you keep practicing."
"I will definitely continue to practice," Ye Qingyue replied, her head slightly lowered.
Qin Yuan did not say more to her because she was old enough to walk on her own.
He then looked at Jian Yixue whose eyes were quite calm, giving off the impression of being like the ocean under a warm sky.
"Now, you are only one step away from Immortal… It may be a difficult realm to reach, many Third Tier Epoch Giants are stuck forever in their places. However, with a strong heart, miracles can still happen."
"Before you become stronger than you are now, I will definitely break through," she replied. Her tone was calm, telling Qin Yuan that she was very confident in herself, even if she had to wage a life and death battle every day to reach that level.
Ye Qingyue couldn't help but glance at her again, thinking that she was indeed inferior to her in terms of confidence.
Qin Yuan smiled at Jian Yixue's answer. "Yeah, I'll be waiting for your success, it will be fun if we can fight together," he said.
"What about your promise?" She suddenly asked, making Qin Yuan's back straighten.
Ye Qingyue probably understood what she meant because she knew some things about her. Hearing her words, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Ehmmm…" Qin Yuan cleared his throat again. He naturally didn't mind, but he thought it was too early to talk about that. Jian Yixue had just broken through, so in his opinion, she should at least first use her strength a few times in order to increase her impression as a Third Tier Epoch Giant.
"Mm…" Qin Yuan had not said anything yet, his expression suddenly changed.
"Well, what a coincidence!" He stood up then opened the entrance to the Hidden Heaven in front of him.
"I will take you to a place where you can fight to your heart's content without holding back," he said.

Meanwhile, not long after strolling through the Immortal Buddha Continent, Qin Yuan knit his brows as he suddenly felt the air turn somewhat gloomy.
"They are coming." Space Buddha said in a low voice.
The people of the continent were still clueless, but experts like Giant Epochs had started to feel uneasy. One by one, they looked up at the sky warily, even holding their weapons.
Of course, they were helpless in front of those Immortals, but it wasn't just the Immortals who attacked. In the final attack, there were quite a number of Great Emperors and Epoch Giants, who joined in the attack even though most of them only used clones.
Rumble!
The sky rumbled and turned dark so that the sun and stars disappeared.
Countless portals then appeared in various locations on the continent including the three near where Qin Yuan was currently.
Infinite darkness gushed out from each portal, submerging many cities.
"They're coming with more people, it's tough." The Space Buddha sighed.
