Selfish Tian Yi

After finishing reading the "True Dragon's Nest Secrets" in his hand, Xiao Yun looked at Emperor Tian with excitement and said, "Master, I have made up my mind. I will go to the True Dragon's Nest in one year."

Emperor Tian pondered and said, "The True Dragon's Nest is very dangerous. You must have at least 500,000 jin of strength to be safe. If you can't reach this level, I won't let you in."

Xiao Yun confidently replied, "Master, please rest assured. Before entering the True Dragon's Nest, I will definitely reach a strength of 700,000 jin."

Emperor Tian smiled and said, "If that's the case, then I won't stop you. Focus on your cultivation. If you have any questions, you can ask Uncle Fu and me."

"I understand!" Xiao Yun nodded and happily ate the spirit beast meat next to him.

At this moment, Lin Xiaoya raised her head and asked Uncle Fu, "Master, can I also go to the True Dragon's Nest?"

"No!" Uncle Fu decisively shook his head. "With your current strength, you would be killed within a few days of entering the True Dragon's Nest. Do you really think the dangers inside are limited to the ten ancestral species? The cultivators from various sects will also kill each other to seize heavenly treasures and earthly treasures. With your current strength, you are far from qualified to enter the True Dragon's Nest."

Emperor Tian also nodded and said, "That's right. Every time the True Dragon's Nest opens, countless geniuses enter. Among them, there are many who have reached the extreme state of physical refining. And there are also many geniuses who have entered forbidden areas. Ordinary cultivators in the realm of physical refining are nothing more than cannon fodder, going to their deaths."

Lin Xiaoya couldn't help but look pitifully at Xiao Yun and said with anticipation, "But we have Senior Brother. Senior Brother, you will definitely protect Xiaoya, right?"

Just as Xiao Yun was about to nod, Uncle Fu's face turned stern, and he scolded, "Shut up! The young master is going there to surpass his limits. If you follow him, you will only burden him and put him in danger."

Lin Xiaoya pouted but didn't dare to retort anymore.

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Uncle Fu, it's actually fine to let Xiaoya go. If we're only facing cultivators in the realm of physical refining, I am confident in protecting Xiaoya."

Uncle Fu shook his head and said, "Carrying this burden will eventually drag you down and pose risks."

"I'm not a burden..." Lin Xiaoya muttered on the side. After being glared at by Uncle Fu, she lowered her head and didn't dare to speak again.

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Uncle Fu, don't you believe in my strength? According to Master, even the strongest special physique can only reach 400,000 jin of strength after reaching the extreme state. Even if they cultivate a super combat technique, they will only have 500,000 jin of strength. Even if they cultivate two super combat techniques, they will only have 600,000 jin of strength. But I have 700,000 jin of fighting power. Maybe I can't sweep them all, but I can definitely protect myself."

Uncle Fu hesitated upon hearing this. If Lin Xiaoya were to enter the True Dragon's Nest, there would indeed be benefits. After all, following Xiao Yun would enable her to obtain some heavenly and earthly treasures. Although reaching the forbidden areas might be difficult, reaching the extreme state of physical refining should be possible.

However, Uncle Fu knew that Emperor Tian had invested a lot in Xiao Yun and couldn't let him be in the slightest danger.

Just then, Emperor Tian smiled and said, "How about this, if Xiao Yun really has 700,000 jin of strength before entering the True Dragon's Nest, then let Xiaoya go with him."

Upon hearing Emperor Tian's words, Uncle Fu naturally wouldn't object anymore.

"Yes!" Lin Xiaoya cheered beside them, bowing respectfully to Emperor Tian with joy. "Thank you, Elder for your generosity!"

Emperor Tian smiled approvingly.

Uncle Fu standing next them and chiding, "Don't get too excited. Since you want to enter the True Dragon's Nest, in order to not hinder the young master, I will continuously temper you in the coming year to quickly strengthen your power."

"Ah..." Lin Xiaoya immediately lowered her head, her face full of worry. She knew how miserable her life would be in the next year.

Seeing Lin Xiaoya's pitiful appearance, Xiao Yun and Emperor Tian burst into laughter.

...

Chaos Holy Land, Tianyi Peak.

This is the cave of the Supreme Elder of Tianyi.

At this moment, in a magnificent hall on Tianyi Peak, the Supreme Elder of Tianyi is refining a pill furnace. The fierce fire burns, and the furnace emits a dazzling light, with a faintly refreshing fragrance.

Beside him, Chu Jingxiao and Zhu Ping are respectfully serving him.

After a while, the Supreme Elder of Tianyi successfully refined the pill furnace. He opened the furnace, and three golden pills floated out and landed in his hand.

Chu Jingxiao looked at the three golden pills in the hands of the Supreme Elder of Tianyi with eager eyes.

The Supreme Elder of Tianyi smiled and said, "Disciple, these are the Enlightenment Pills that I refined using countless rare materials. They can help you reach the extreme realm of body refining within a month and the realm of the first prohibition within a year."

After speaking, the Supreme Elder of Tianyi handed the three golden pills to Chu Jingxiao.

Chu Jingxiao received the pills and bowed down on the ground with gratitude, saying, "Disciple thanks Master for nurturing me. After I enter the True Dragon's Nest, I will definitely obtain the sacred medicine for Master to assist you in becoming a saint in the future."

The Supreme Elder of Tianyi nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "You can go and cultivate now. I will continue to refine your battle armor and sword to enhance your combat power."

"Thank you, Master. I won't disturb you anymore. Please take care not to exhaust yourself, Master, and remember to rest more!" Chu Jingxiao expressed his gratitude and respectfully saluted before leaving the hall.

As he watched Chu Jingxiao leave, the smile on the face of the Supreme Elder of Tianyi disappeared.

Zhu Ping hesitated and said, "Master, the young master's talent is limited. Even if he enters the realm of the first prohibition, he won't have an advantage in the True Dragon's Nest. What if..."

The Supreme Elder of Tianyi snorted coldly, "If he dies, he dies. I can just find another disciple next time. But if he can bring back a sacred medicine for me, the return on investment will be multiplied by millions."

After all, the Enlightenment Pills he refined for Chu Jingxiao only cost some low-grade materials, which paled in comparison to sacred medicine.

In Tianyi's eyes, disciples and subordinates were no different. They were just pawns to increase his benefits and could be discarded at any time.

In Tianyi's mind, only his own strength was the most important.

"With me being invincible, that's the fundamental!" Tianyi sneered and mocked himself, "That idiot Emperor Tian only has a hundred years of lifespan and still doesn't know to seize the time to cultivate in seclusion. He actually goes to recruit disciples, simply committing suicide."

"What's the use even if his disciple is powerful? After a hundred years, he will still turn into dust. What benefits does a powerful disciple bring to him? It's just a nice posthumous name!"
