My beautiful CEO wife

Although it’s been more than a month since the last visit, the Netherworld King Temple hasn’t changed much.

From the outside, it still appears quite desolate.

The surroundings are desolate and uninhabited, with the traces of human existence only visible hundreds of miles away in Song City.

When Xiao Zheng slowly landed on the vast square in front of the temple, the nine priests, who heard the commotion, emerged from the shadows: "Your subordinates Brent (Harvey, Chris...) greet the Evil God!"

Due to that battle with the Bright Church, the relationship between the Blood Clan and Sky Net has reached an unprecedented closeness.

The nine priests showed extraordinary respect after seeing Xiao Zheng.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "You may rise. I’m just here to chat casually with Hades this time. By the way, she should be inside now, right? Has she gone out?"

Hearing his words, Brent quickly responded, "Reporting to the Evil God, Lord Netherworld is currently inside the temple and has not gone out."

"Alright, I understand." Xiao Zheng said, "I’ll go in and find her now. You may return to your duties."

After speaking, he slowly walked towards the nearby temple.

As for the nine priests, they quietly retreated back into the shadows.

Along the way to the temple, Xiao Zheng encountered many attendants. These attendants, upon seeing Xiao Zheng, also showed extreme reverence, kneeling on the ground to salute him.

The concept of might over merit is vividly reflected here.

"It’s been a long time."

Xiao Zheng, upon entering the main hall, immediately greeted Hades, who was seated on the divine throne.

Although she already knew he was coming, a trace of joy flashed in the depths of Hades’ eyes at seeing him. However, she still maintained her composure and calmly responded, "It’s been a long time."

Xiao Zheng, accustomed to her indifference, sat down on a chair he moved over and asked, "How have you been lately? Suddenly taking control of all of Europe, have things been a bit overwhelming for you?"

In response, Hades slowly shook her head and said, "Not bad, the Elder Council manages all affairs, and I remain behind the scenes."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but frown and asked, "The Elder Council? Wasn’t it disbanded before? Aren’t you afraid of history repeating itself now that you’ve re-established it?"

"As long as I’m alive, they won’t be able to stir up any trouble." Hades said with absolute confidence.

Feeling her determination, Xiao Zheng refrained from saying more.

After all, this was an internal affair of the Blood Clan, and it wasn’t his place to interfere.

However, at this moment, a hint of astonishment flashed in Hades’ eyes: "What level is your cultivation at now? Why can’t I discern your current realm?"

Now, looking at Xiao Zheng felt like being in a mist for her.

Noticing her surprise, Xiao Zheng’s lips couldn’t help but curl up slightly: "Didn’t expect you to notice it, but I’ve had some fortuitous encounters over this past month, leading to some minor breakthroughs in my realm."

"I have now reached the Extraordinary Realm Middle Stage."

Although he spoke with a calm tone, there was still a hint of pride interlaced within.

Learning that Xiao Zheng had already broken through to the Extraordinary Realm Middle Stage, another flash of surprise crossed Hades’ eyes. The leap from the Peak of Supreme Realm to the Extraordinary Realm Middle Stage in just over a month was nothing short of astonishing.

No matter how hard she tried, Hades couldn’t imagine what sort of fortuitous encounter he had experienced.

Perhaps sensing her curiosity, Xiao Zheng didn’t keep her in suspense and recounted what had transpired with the Ghost Raising Family. Upon learning that Xiao Zheng had acquired another Golden Bone from the Ghost Raising Family, her doubts were finally dispelled.

"You’re quite lucky." Hades finally uttered six words after a long pause.

In response, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but grin and said, "I do feel quite lucky. It was like getting a pillow when I needed rest. If it weren’t for the Ghost Raising Family targeting those around me, I might have actually thanked them."

"Are you planning another secluded training session here this time?" Hades asked tentatively.

Even though Xiao Zheng hadn’t explicitly stated his purpose, Hades had already guessed a bit.

"Yes, that’s precisely why I’m here." Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "After thinking it through, your place is the most suitable for secluded training. Having you as a protector means I won’t have to worry about any unforeseen events midway through."

When mentioning "unforeseen events," his expression became slightly serious.

After all, neither Xiao Zheng nor Hades had personally witnessed realms beyond the Extraordinary Soul Seizing Realm. They only found references in the archives of the Bright Church.

No one could guarantee that the breakthrough process wouldn’t encounter any unexpected mishaps.

Hades nodded, then asked, "When do you plan to start?"

In her heart, she was also eager to see whether Xiao Zheng could break through to the legendary Creation Realm during this secluded training.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng didn’t hesitate to say, "As soon as possible, sooner rather than later, as the saying goes. You’ve likely heard it too. Please arrange a meditation chamber, and let’s begin now."

Hades didn’t refuse and then stood up, leading him away from the temple.

In the Netherworld King Temple, there are many unoccupied rooms that can be used as meditation chambers. However, to be on the safe side, Hades took Xiao Zheng to her own usual secluded training quarters this time.

This place is the most concentrated with the energy of heaven and earth within the entire Netherworld King Temple.

Training here would undoubtedly yield twice the result with half the effort.

"Please go inside, I’ll be guarding outside during your secluded training." Hades said slowly, standing at the door of the meditation chamber.

Xiao Zheng nodded, waved goodbye to her, and then walked into the meditation chamber.

As soon as he entered the chamber, the heavy stone door immediately closed.

Hades sat cross-legged on the ground, expressionless, revealing nothing about what she might be thinking. As for Xiao Zheng, upon entering the chamber, he settled in the center.

He took out a wooden box from his arms, then placed all three Golden Bones in front of him.

The three Golden Bones were neatly displayed before him.

"Let’s begin."

Xiao Zheng took a deep breath, then grabbed the first Golden Bone, directly merging it into his body.

As soon as Zhang Xin’s Golden Bone disappeared, a powerful force suddenly surged within Xiao Zheng!
