Cheat Cultivator's Ascension

The moment that she felt the urgency on this ancient man's voice, Dongfang Xiang immediately tries finding a way to get out of this place without raising the suspicion of the other Half-step Celestial Realm experts watching with her, fortunately for that cause, she is one of the only three member of their kingdom's Royal Family, and she can freely do whatever it is that she wants without having anyone but her sister or niece to question her.

Standing from her seat as she decided to meet up with this ancient man as soon as possible, feeling intrigued about what he is going to say regarding that immortal-like young man she has taken interest on, thinking that whatever it is, it is definitely going to be interesting.

"Hmm? Grand Duchess, I wonder where are you going when your niece is still taking this trial…" looking at the mature beauty planning to move away from this place, one of the Half-step Celestial Realm experts couldn't stop himself from asking, taking this chance to scan the beauty from head to toe repeatedly causing said lady's patience towards this bunch run even thinner than it already does, the fact that this expert is just openly ogling her triggering her even more.

"Hm.. that's odd, Xue Yang…" hearing the words of this Half-step Celestial Realm expert, Dongfang Xiang pretends to reveal a face of confusion, prompting the other expert to reply to her words acting magnanimous.

"What is it that you are confused about, Grand Duchess, I might be enlighten you with that, I wasn't heralded as a worldly sage for nothing" the Half-step Celestial Realm expert said with a hint of pride in his voice, after all, it is not everyday that one even of their status will have a chance to talk about, and possibly even teach this Grand Duchess something, and he just got the luck to do as such.

"I am wondering about…" as she hears the even more prideful, borderline arrogant tone of the other Half-step Celestial Realm expert, Dongfang Xiang then answers still with the same tone she has previously, said soft tone changing into a firm, authoritative one after she paused for a while and continues her words.

"…where in the hell did you get the guts to ask me where I am going to go huh? You call me Grand Duchess but the respect for one is not in your tone, worldly sage…" she said as she exudes a terrifying aura that terrifies even the fellow Half-step Celestial Realm experts surrounding her, making them painfully aware that despite all of them being on the same realm as this lady, her martial prowess is something that they will never be able to compare to.

"Tell me, worldly sage, is the places I am going to go to and the things I am going to do a part of any of your concerns?" seeing that the other Half-step Celestial Realm expert wasn't able to speak the moment she exudes that terrifying, suppressive aura, Dongfang Xiang asked once again with an accommodating smile on her gorgeous face, this smile not really fitting and transforming onto a threatening one as her fellow Half-step Celestial Realm experts feels her domineering aura.

Had it been a release of strength and aura similar to a usual one, someone of her cultivation will definitely cover the entire domain of the Dao Seeking Mountain with ease with her pressure, and with her pressure suppressing even these Half-step Celestial Realm cultivators, then one can only imagine what this suppression will do to individuals with weaker cultivation as theirs.

Luckily for everyone below her own cultivation realm, this mature beauty still has perfect control over her own strength, limiting the suppression and pressure in the place where they are currently situated, another feat of talent that not anyone can perform, not really surprising the other experts anymore not because they are well aware of her talent, but rather because they feel too pressured to notice such precise control.

"Y-your matter is of no one else's concern, Grand Duchess…" being pressured by his peers as well as they starts eyeing him like some sort of cursed being, the worldly sage replies in terror with his shivering voice making him feel extremely embarrassed of himself, yet there's just nothing he can do about it since the lady in front of him is something that that neither he nor the force behind him can afford to offend.

"Great, now if you will excuse this old lady, then I will have to deal with a little business for a while" hearing the words of her fellow Half-step Celestial Realm cultivator, the mature beauty said, her tone immediately changing into a jovial one as she gave them a gist of what she intends to do, before disappearing altogether, their senses not even catching where she disappears to.

----------

While all of this is happening, the reason why the mature, royal beauty decides to act like that is currently enjoying the benefits of the Sky Compression Valley through the use of his numerous nascent sources, all of them bringing him unprecedented progress that he can observe in his body, the fact that he can even utilize this place to improve his Primordial Nihility Transcendent Qi coming as a fair surprise to him.

"Looks like they are benefitting a lot from this as well…" looking at the ladies with faces changing into multiple expressions as they continue moving away from the entrance and closer to the exit of the Sky Compression Valley, the immortal-like young man thought to himself with a smile on his face, extremely glad that they are significantly progressing from this as well.

'Hmm? They're getting closer to the exit…' feeling something changing as the immense suppressive property hitting his nascent sources from everywhere starts receding out of nowhere, Su Xiaotian then decided used his soul power to check in on them, finding out that they are already just a few meters away from the exit, and once they got out of a certain area, the suppressive force of the Sky Compression Valley just disappears altogether.

After finding out that the reason for the decrease in efficiency of compression is nothing too serious, he then willed the nascent sources to return a few meters back until he eventually felt that feeling of progress as well, still nothing too absurd as his progress in the [Infinite Qi Dimension] but still a different kind of progress compared to his cultivation there.

With the transcendent qi circulating within his entire body being compressed repeatedly without end, the immortal-like young man couldn't help but notice the fact that his internal qi capacity is increasing ever-so-slightly, nothing too big but significant enough for him to let out an excited smile as even despite the fact that his internal qi capacity is increasing, his cultivation level does not, this phenomenon only meaning one thing.

'My foundation is improving…' he thought to himself with the smile never leaving his face, his hands clenched as this unexpected blessing was something that brings him even more benefits than just merely improving his cultivation, which he can do in the [Infinite Qi Dimension]
