The cat demon defies the heavens and is the emperor’s only beloved disciple!

The Longyin Hall of the Biluo Palace is shrouded in clouds and mist, as if it is the most mysterious forbidden place in the world.

Inside the hall, the flickering candlelight illuminated a man dressed in a green robe, his brows radiating an otherworldly aura—Yun Che, the Emperor of the Azure Sky Palace, a peerless powerhouse who had cultivated for ten thousand years.

Beside him, a woman was kneeling devoutly, her eyes closed and breathing slowly. It was his disciple, Xu Wan.

“Wan’er, you have been cultivating with me for a hundred years. Today is the critical moment for you to break through to the Golden Core Realm.” Yun Che’s voice was deep and magnetic, as if it could penetrate people’s hearts.

He was dressed in a purple robe, his hair was as black as ink, and there was an otherworldly aura between his brows.

Xu Wan knelt in front of Yun Che, her eyes gleaming with determination and expectation.

She was wearing a light blue dress and had a beautiful face, as if she was a fairy walking out of a painting.

A hundred years of practice had made her temperament more calm, but the respect and attachment to her master in her heart had never changed.

Xu Wan slowly opened her eyes, her eyes gleaming with determination and expectation: "Master, Wan'er will definitely live up to your expectations."

Yun Che smiled faintly, a smile that held both relief and anticipation. “Remember, on the path of cultivation, determination comes first. No matter what difficulties you encounter, you must maintain inner peace and fortitude.”

Following Yun Che's soft shout, the entire Dragon Roar Hall was instantly enveloped by a powerful spiritual energy.

He stretched out his hand and waved it, and a brilliant flame danced in his palm. It was the legendary Dan Fire, which was powerful enough to burn everything and could also refine the true essence.

“Wan’er, this Dan Fire is the product of my ten thousand years of cultivation. It will help you refine the impurities in your body and condense the Golden Elixir.” Yun Che’s voice was gentle yet powerful as he slowly pushed the Dan Fire towards Xu Wan.

Xu Wan took a deep breath, closed her eyes and concentrated, allowing the scorching fire to envelop her whole body.

Pain and burning sensation swept over her instantly, but she clenched her teeth and refused to make a sound.

She knew that this was the only way to become a Jindan boss.

"Master, I... I can do it!" Xu Wan's voice was weak but full of indomitable spirit.

Yun Che looked at Xu Wan, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes: "Wan'er, hold on, your potential is far greater than this."

Time passed slowly in pain and persistence. In the Dragon Roar Hall, only the sound of Xu Wan's breathing and the crackling of the pill fire were heard.

Yun Che always stayed by her side, using his spiritual power to protect Xu Wan and ensure that she would not be affected by the backlash of the pill fire.

"Master, you...you are tired too, right?" Xu Wan finally had the chance to speak. Although her voice was weak, it was full of concern.

Yun Che shook his head lightly and said with a smile, "Master is not tired. As long as you can succeed, everything will be worth it."

There is no need for many words between the two of them; the deep friendship between master and disciple has already transcended the limits of words.

After an unknown amount of time, a dazzling light suddenly burst out from the Dragon Roar Hall.

Inside Xu Wan's body, a dazzling golden elixir slowly condensed into shape, emitting a majestic fluctuation of spiritual power.

“It’s done! Wan’er, you succeeded!” Yun Che’s excited voice echoed in the hall.

Xu Wan slowly opened her eyes, with an unprecedented light flashing in them.

She felt the powerful force surging within her body, her heart filled with gratitude towards her master: "Master, all of this is thanks to you."

Yun Che smiled faintly, reached out his hand and gently patted Xu Wan's shoulder: "Wan'er, this is your own hard work. I am just assisting you."

With Xu Wan's successful promotion to the Golden Core Boss, the Biluo Palace also ushered in new glory.

Under Yun Che's guidance, Xu Wan not only greatly improved her cultivation, but also made a qualitative leap in her state of mind.

"Master, what should we do in the future?" Xu Wan stood outside the Longyin Hall, looking at the endless mountains in the distance, his heart full of longing.

Yun Che looked up at the sky, his eyes gleaming with a deep light: "Wan'er, the path of cultivation never ends.

We must not only protect the Biluo Palace, but also the peace and tranquility of this continent."

Xu Wan nodded, her eyes firm: "Master, I will always be by your side, no matter how difficult the road ahead is."

The two smiled at each other. The deep affection and tacit understanding between master and disciple seemed to have transcended the limitations of time and space and were forever engraved in the Dragon Roar Hall of the Biluo Palace.

……

"Master, I have already cultivated the golden elixir and want to travel outside to broaden my horizons and consolidate my cultivation." Xu Wan knelt in front of the Emperor, with a determined light in his eyes.

The Emperor smiled faintly and said, "Okay, Wan'er, since you have such a heart, I will grant your wish. Today, I will ride the phoenix and take you on a journey across the four seas and eight wildernesses."

With these words, the Emperor's figure flashed, transforming into a streak of light that soared into the sky. A moment later, a massive phoenix flew from the sky, its wings as dazzling as the rosy clouds. The Emperor stood atop the phoenix's head and extended his hand toward Xu Wan.

Xu Wan was extremely excited. She jumped onto the phoenix's back and held her master's hand tightly.

The phoenix flapped its wings and flew high, instantly piercing through the clouds and splitting the rocks, and disappeared into the vast sky.

Throughout the vast expanse of the world, there were countless rare and precious animals and cultivators. Wherever Xu Wan and Emperor Zun went, they caused a sensation.

However, they did not stop there, but continued to move forward, looking for opportunities to improve their cultivation.

One day, they came to a dangerous place called "Nether Valley", a dark and eerie place where legends say ancient monsters and rare treasures are hidden.

Just as Xu Wan and Emperor Zun were preparing to explore further, a group of cultivators with strong cultivation blocked their way.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Nether Valley!" a young monk in the lead shouted loudly.

Xu Wan stepped forward, bowed, and said, "We are just passers-by, with no ill intentions. We simply heard that a treasure had been discovered here, and came here to seek it out." Xu Wan engaged the cultivator in a fierce and precise swordplay, each strike landing squarely on the opponent's vital points.

However, these cultivators were no ordinary people. Working together, they gradually forced Xu Wan into a desperate situation.

At this moment, the Emperor finally made his move. He flicked his sleeve lightly, and a powerful spiritual force surged out like a tide, instantly knocking those cultivators several feet away.

"You are just a mere ant, yet you dare to be so presumptuous in front of me!" The Emperor's voice was cold and majestic, making people shudder.

Upon seeing this, the monks fell to their knees and begged for mercy.

The Emperor looked down at the cultivators in front of him with a cold gaze, as if they were just insignificant dust.

He raised his hand slightly, and a dazzling light suddenly burst out, striking the group of monks like thunder.

In an instant, there were screams and blood.

The monks didn't even have time to react before they were reduced to ashes by this terrifying force.

There was dead silence all around, with only the figure of the Emperor standing proudly.

Xu Wan looked at this scene in shock, and his awe for the Emperor deepened.

Emperor Zun then led Xu Wan deeper into the Nether Valley. Eventually, they discovered a hidden cave at the bottom of the valley, where hidden was the peerless treasure—a jade pendant imbued with supreme spiritual power.

Xu Wan accepted the jade pendant, her heart filled with gratitude and joy. She knew that all of this was given to her by her master.

The jade pendant emits a strange light, like a bright star.

Xu Wan stared at the jade pendant in her hand, feeling the powerful force it contained.

The Emperor looked at Xu Wan, with a barely perceptible hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

He whispered, "This jade pendant is an ancient object and holds endless mysteries. If you can comprehend the mystery within, it will surely greatly help you improve your cultivation." Xu Wan nodded respectfully and carefully put the jade pendant into his arms.

At this moment, a gentle breeze blew by, bringing a slight chill. Emperor Zun looked up into the distance, his brows slightly furrowed. He seemed to sense something unusual, but he said nothing.

Seeing this, Xu Wan asked with concern, "Master, is there anything wrong?" Emperor Zun shook his head and said calmly, "It's nothing, it's just an inexplicable premonition. Let's leave here as soon as possible."

The two rode away on a phoenix, their figures disappearing into the depths of the valley. The jade pendant lay quietly in Xu Wan's arms, flickering with a faint light, as if foreshadowing the beginning of an extraordinary journey.
