Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

"Hehe, not bad."

Su Han smiled, then said, "I didn’t call you here today to scold you. Your Cultivation Base not improving isn’t your fault, but rather because resources are scarce."

"Although Immortal Cultivators can also cultivate using Spirit Crystals, you know the situation of the Phoenix Sect as well, so don’t you be dissatisfied."

"This subordinate wouldn’t dare!"

Shangguan Mingxin hurriedly said, "To encounter Sect Master in this life is already this subordinate’s greatest fortune. Let alone now, even if I were to remain stuck at this Cultivation Base for the rest of my life, this subordinate would still die without regret!"

"You followed me all the way up from the Dragon Martial Continent, there’s no need to be so restrained."

Su Han pressed his lips together, flipped his palm, and took out a storage ring.

"Inside, there are some True Essence Fruits for you to use."

"True Essence Fruits?"

Shangguan Mingxin showed doubt. "Sect Master, what exactly are these True Essence Fruits?"

"Supreme Treasures!" Su Han said in a deep voice.

From his expression alone, Shangguan Mingxin could see that Su Han was definitely not lying.

And when her Divine Sense probed into the storage ring and sensed those True Essence Fruits, Shangguan Mingxin’s expression completely changed.

"Sect Master, this subordinate doesn’t dare accept something so precious!"

Shangguan Mingxin hastily returned the storage ring to Su Han, saying, "Just by sensing these True Essence Fruits, this subordinate has already felt the terrifying Spiritual Energy within. For you to let this subordinate use them is truly a reckless waste of a priceless treasure!"

"Recognize your own status. Though you must not be arrogant, there’s no need to lower yourself to such an extent either."

Su Han said, "You are the Captain of the Starry Sky Corps, yet in terms of Cultivation Base you’ve fallen behind others; that is this sect’s failing."

"These True Essence Fruits, although others can use them, are mainly targeted toward Immortal Cultivators. If you use them for Cultivation, the effect will be optimal."

"However, keep this to yourself. There’s no need to tell anyone else, lest they feel this sect is unfair."

"But..."

"No buts. I’m giving them to you, so just take them."

Shangguan Mingxin still wanted to say something, but was directly cut off by Su Han.

"Hoo..."

Shangguan Mingxin was not the pretentious type. After taking a deep breath, she said gratefully, "Sect Master’s great kindness, this subordinate will never forget in this lifetime!"

"Alright."

Su Han shook his head with a smile. "Lian Yuze is good at flattering; now you’ve learned how to fawn as well."

At these words, Shangguan Mingxin’s face instantly flushed red.

"Go on, cultivate diligently, and don’t let this sect down." Su Han waved his hand.

"Yes."

Shangguan Mingxin retreated respectfully.

After she left, Su Han once again entered the valley.

Although there were Cultivation Fruits, this time Su Han did not plan to cultivate the Martial Path, but instead... to cultivate Magic!

His current Magic Cultivation was only at the Early Fifth Order Grand Magus; in terms of Battle Power, it was comparable to a Martial Path Cultivator of the Divine Sea Realm.

If he could break through to the Mid-Stage, he could rival Martial Path Cultivators below the Second Grade Fusion Realm. If he could break through to the Later Stage, he could rival powerhouses below the Fusion Realm; if he could break through to the Later Stage...

He would be able to rival Peak Fusion Realm powerhouses!

And a Sixth Order Grand Magister corresponded to Martial Path Cultivators of the Dao Sovereign Realm.

A Seventh-Order Grand Magister corresponded to Martial Path Cultivators... of the Heavenly Emperor Realm!

As for Xiang’er right now, as a First Order Holy Mage—also commonly called a Magic Saint—she could rival Martial Path Cultivators at the Sub-Immortal Level!

In reality, powerhouses at the Magic Saint Rank could completely contend with the Immortal Realm.

It was just that, due to the Heavenly Dao’s suppression in the Lower-Class Star Region, Xiang’er’s strength was greatly reduced.

This was also why, back on the Dragon Martial Continent, Xiang’er had clearly already reached the Seventh-Order Grand Magister, yet could only contend with the Dragon Venerate Realm.

Places, too, were divided into tiers.

Such as the Lower-Class Star Region, Middle-Class Star Region, and High-Grade Star Domain.

And such as Abandoned Planets like the Dragon Martial Continent.

Each level suppresses the one below. Under the operation of the Heavenly Dao, it does not allow powerhouses who have transcended that place to continue existing there.

If one truly wished to remain, it wasn’t impossible, but their strength would be suppressed extremely low!

In other words, even if Xiang’er at this moment had reached the level of a Magic God, as long as she remained in the Lower-Class Star Region, she could still only contend with Sub-Immortal Level powerhouses.

The Immortal Realm cannot descend into the Lower-Class Star Region, just as the Spirit Transformation Realm cannot descend onto the Dragon Martial Continent.

If the difference in strength is too great, it will cause a certain place to collapse.

Therefore, despite the current outbreak of Extraterritorial Demons in the Lower-Class Star Region, with Living Beings slaughtered and corpses strewn everywhere, there is still not a single Immortal Realm existence appearing.

The Heavenly Dao’s suppression on Magic is relatively lax, but its suppression of the Martial Path and Immortal Cultivators is the strongest!

Once they break through to the Immortal Realm, they must enter the Middle-Class Star Region; otherwise, if they remain in the Lower-Class Star Region beyond a certain period of time, it will trigger the collapse of the Lower-Class Star Region.

Yet someone like Xiang’er, who has clearly become a Magic Saint and can rival the Immortal Realm, can still remain in the Lower-Class Star Region.

But her Battle Power... is heavily suppressed!

No one can oppose the Heavenly Dao; even the Sovereign of Yuan Ling can only exist beneath the Heavenly Dao!

These are the rules; no one can shake them!

"If my Magic Cultivation can also reach the Magic Saint Rank, then the Phoenix Sect will have a chance to breathe. We won’t have to keep hiding inside this Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, struggling on at death’s door!"

Su Han took a deep breath.

An existence that could rival Sub-Immortal Level powerhouses was extremely exalted.

Don’t be fooled by those forces’ current attitude toward the Phoenix Sect; once Su Han truly reached the Magic Saint Rank, their attitude would immediately change.

"However, reaching the Magic Saint Rank is unimaginably difficult..."

Su Han once again showed a wry smile. "Xiang’er is the daughter of the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons, born with a Magic Body, and she inherited the legacy of the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons; only thus has she achieved what she has today."

"My Magic Aptitude, while not ordinary, and coupled with the experience of my previous life, still ultimately requires time to settle."

"Right now, I cannot hope extravagantly for the Magic Saint Rank; if I can just reach the Seventh-Order Grand Magister, I will already be satisfied!"

A Seventh-Order Grand Magister was already comparable to a Heavenly Emperor Realm powerhouse.

With those Magic methods from Su Han’s previous life added on, he would at least possess some self-preservation against Sub-Immortal Level powerhouses.

Thinking this, Su Han no longer hesitated. He directly sat cross-legged, waved his palm, and a Magic Fruit appeared.

"I was wasteful before; this time I mustn’t squander even a trace. I don’t know how much this single Magic Fruit can increase my Magic Cultivation."

In silence, Su Han didn’t say another word, directly opening his mouth and biting off a large chunk of the Magic Fruit.

"Boom!!!"

Once the Magic Fruit entered his body, it immediately transformed into an astonishingly terrifying amount of Magic Elements, swelling Su Han’s body as if it were about to burst.

Su Han didn’t dare hesitate, immediately circulating the Dragon Rider Emperor Technique to begin rapidly devouring and Refining it!
