These words sound a bit uncivilized, but Ye Luo immediately understood their meaning.

"Are you saying that back in the day, that person pursued Zi Wei?" Ye Luo’s expression became peculiar.

"It was more than just pursuing; the older generation has heard of it. His obsession with Zi Wei was almost to a fanatic degree. So, I came this time to remind you that your rival in love is not an ordinary one. You should understand that!"

Ye Luo certainly understood, but the Zi Wei of the past and the current Zi Wei, strictly speaking, are quite different. This reincarnation cultivation technique makes each lifetime like a different person!

However, it depends on how people perceive it. Just like that person from the Divine Martial Sect, if he was so obsessed with Zi Wei and happens to return now, he must be here for Zi Wei.

In that case, he truly counts as Ye Luo’s rival in love. Also, the matter between him and Zi Wei is no longer a secret now, so it can be said that the person will likely meet Ye Luo soon. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

But Ye Luo, even as a small figure back then, did not fear any force, and now that he has some capital, he fears even less.

"Let’s see what happens when we meet!" Ye Luo laughed.

"Ye Luo, don’t take it lightly, don’t think you are so amazing now. The things he did back then were no less glorious than your destruction of the Pure Land, so you cannot afford to be careless!"

Ye Luo understood that Feng Yun Xiner’s words were for his own good.

However, Feng Yun Xiner ultimately did not understand Ye Luo’s current strength and trump cards.

Of course, it was also time for him to improve his cultivation!

After sending Feng Yun Xiner away, Ye Luo returned to the cave mansion. Although Feng Yun Xiner acted a little strange this time, she said nothing more, and Ye Luo naturally didn’t ask further.

After all, she’s different from Zi Wei. Zi Wei is his woman, but Feng Yun Xiner is at most just a friend.

"Ye Luo, you’re back!"

Every time seeing Ye Luo’s figure, Zi Wei would come to meet him.

Ye Luo nodded slightly, suddenly raising his head, "Shen Wu has returned!"

Shen Wu! Of course, he is the founder of the Divine Martial Sect. In such sects, disciples often take the sect’s surname.

For instance, in the Divine Martial Sect, most disciples bear the surname Shen Wu!

And for the Wind Cloud Sect, naturally, they take the surname Feng Yun.

"Has he returned?" Zi Wei was startled for a moment and then spoke.

Her expression was calm, as if she had never heard of that person before.

"He pursued you back then!" Ye Luo suddenly said.

Zi Wei immediately giggled, "Are you jealous?"

Ye Luo paused, not really feeling jealous. After all, Ye Luo had great confidence in his own charm.

However, suddenly having another rival in love is just unpleasant.

"That Shen Wu is a monster who would stop at nothing for cultivation, and what’s more despicable is his nature. That’s the thing I despise the most. If he hadn’t acted so cunningly back then, I would have certainly taught him a lesson!" Zi Wei suddenly said coldly.

Ye Luo was surprised, thinking that even if Zi Wei did not agree to him, the two should be quite familiar.

But from the way Zi Wei spoke now, it seems they have some grudges.

"Ye Luo, everyone says he defected from the Divine Healer Valley and established the Divine Martial Sect. That’s true, but why he defected, that’s a secret of the Divine Healer Valley. I won’t say more, but you probably guessed. Also, he came to the South Territory and apprenticed under a leader of an indigenous tribe. Back then, there were also some masters among the indigenous people. He actually stole all of this leader’s strength, becoming an unrivaled powerhouse. Anyway, I know a lot about his matters, and it’s not just these two incidents. You must know this person is extremely insidious and cunning — a vile person, whom you must be cautious of!"

Upon hearing Zi Wei’s words, Ye Luo was somewhat puzzled.

Wasn’t Shen Wu a hero of the South Territory? How did he become so contemptible as Zi Wei describes?

Of course, he definitely trusts Zi Wei, as Zi Wei has no reason to deceive him.

He quickly figured out the reason. History is always written by the victors. Back then, Shen Wu’s fame spread through the South Territory, and how the legend unfolded was dictated by him.

Over time, that became the truth.

If that’s the case, then Ye Luo truly needs to be cautious. In terms of strength, Ye Luo might not fear him, but his reputation was, after all, hard-earned, so Ye Luo naturally needs to be more wary.

Thus, Ye Luo must have a strategy early on, to avoid being tricked by him and losing out.

That night, Ye Luo did not stay overnight in Zi Wei’s cave mansion but returned to the practice room. This place was where the elders of Zi Wei Sect used to achieve breakthroughs in realms, and the surrounding cave mansions were quite sturdy, able to withstand immense strength.

Otherwise, at their realm, once breaking through, the commotion is truly significant. Of course, damaging some buildings is trivial, but if others hear that noise, the risk becomes significant.

Especially with a breakthrough in a major realm, there’s a period of vulnerability where enemies could easily attack.

Therefore, every sect has a designated site for breaking through realms to prevent enemies from realizing it.

And Ye Luo came here, naturally, to attempt a breakthrough.

He had been stuck at the ninth layer for quite some time. Previously, he lacked some comprehension of the Law, but now, with the Thunder Principle Seed and the Slaughter Law Seed within him, and his insights into the War Intent Law, Earth Type Law, et cetera, significantly deepened!

Most importantly, he understood the embryonic form of the Dao, which elevated his understanding of the Laws to a completely higher level — a feat that many ancestor-level experts couldn’t reach.

Hence, he had long been ready to break through; it was merely a matter of conditions previously not permitting it.

Now, he could finally calm his heart and elevate his realm to the Heavenly Martial Realm.

However, he was somewhat uneasy, hence he specifically let Zi Wei and Nuonuo protect the law outside, just in case.

After all, if those Hunters were to sneak attack, Ye Luo could also be in danger.

But he wasn’t worried, as no one practically knew about his sudden decision to advance in realm.

Afterward, he sat cross-legged in the cave mansion, placing two bottles in front of him, one large and one small!

The large one, naturally, was the Essence of the Spirit Pond, and the small one contained Spiritual Liquid. He, of course, wouldn’t be foolish enough to hand all of the Spiritual Liquid over. He kept a considerable portion for himself.
