As a result, Ye Qingzhou, knowing full well there are tigers on the mountain, deliberately headed towards it!

Of course, Ye Qingzhou would definitely retort, "Nonsense, I know there are dragons on the mountain, so I go towards Dragon Mountain."

Ye Qingzhou gently placed his finger on Xu Yuebing's cherry lips and smiled at her, "This is our little secret, don't spread it around."

Then, in a flash, he performed Soaring Step and rode the wind away.

Watching Ye Qingzhou leave without looking back, Xu Yuebing stomped her foot in anger, "Does this guy really not know how to write the word 'death'? Whatever he's told not to do, he insists on doing!"

Sigh~

With a sigh, Xu Yuebing decided to keep quiet for now.

In her opinion, Ye Qingzhou was probably just going through a rebellious phase, and should learn his lesson after facing some setbacks.

However, she couldn't help but worry for Ye Qingzhou, hoping he wouldn't get into trouble.

Meanwhile, Ye Qingzhou enhanced Wind's Inner Breath with Dragon's Inner Breath, performing Soaring Step, freely soaring through the world, feeling an immense thrill and suddenly inspired with the ambition of 'morning travel to the Northern Sea and evening to Cangwu'.

In his past life, his favorite poem was Li Taibai's "Early Departure from Baidi City".

Farewell to Baidi amongst colorful clouds, a thousand miles to Jiangling in one day. Monkeys on both banks keep crying, yet the light boat has traversed ten thousand mountains.

That unfettered, carefree and grand life under heaven and earth was the life Ye Qingzhou most aspired to, which is why he named himself Qingzhou.

Fallen leaves without roots, a light boat flows freely, even alone, he would live this life dashing and carefree.

However, in the worldly red dust, self-imposed shackles, being born human, who can truly achieve freedom and carefreeness?

Fortunately, Ye Qingzhou crossed over to Blue Star, encountered Martial Dao, and finally had the power to break the shackles on his body.

The seemingly inexhaustible Primordial Qi filled every corner within the Grotto Heaven, at this moment, transforming one by one into Ye Qingzhou's fuel, allowing him to use Inner Breath recklessly without worrying about overconsumption, unsustainable.

Soaring Step!

Divine Speed!

Ye Qingzhou flew faster and faster, his body entering the Divine Speed Domain, surpassing the speed of sound.

Mach 1!

Mach 2!

Mach 3!

...

Even, his flying speed began to break through to Mach 5, exceeding his previous limits!

This wasn't the speed of his sword, but the speed of his body flying!

At this moment, Ye Qingzhou's Divine Thought couldn't even clear the air in front, the friction grew increasingly intense.

But it didn't matter; the Geng Metal Bone and Xin Metal Sinew endowed him with an incredibly strong Golden Body, making him indestructible.

He tore through the air with his body, causing piercing sonic booms, red flames flaring around him, and the whole person dashed like a meteor towards Celestial Halberd Peak.

The powerful demon birds along the way couldn't even catch a whiff of his tail—too fast!

Twenty kilometers of distance was covered in just over ten seconds.

After landing, Ye Qingzhou found himself unharmed, but his clothes were burned utterly clean, leaving him stark naked.

Fortunately, there was no one around, so he didn't have to worry about being seen as a pervert.

After landing, Ye Qingzhou used local materials to quickly weave himself a grass skirt, covering his important parts, then looked up at the summit of Celestial Halberd Peak.

The Celestial Halberd Peak was steep and towering, reaching into the clouds.

The dark golden cliff walls were incredibly smooth, standing between heaven and earth like a giant halberd, stabbing deep into the sea of clouds.

The treacherousness of the Mountain Technique, forget ordinary people; even a Martial Artist would struggle to climb it.

However, fortunately, Ye Qingzhou could fly, so he wasn't worried at all.

Performing the Wind Force Mid-Tier Martial Technique Soaring Step, Ye Qingzhou stepped on the Clear Wind, his whole being rose lightly, flying straight to the summit of Celestial Halberd Peak.

Rumble~

The moment he entered the sea of clouds, thunder roared in Ye Qingzhou's ears.

From below, it looked like a vast white sea of clouds, but upon reaching the top, he found that all he could see was dark clouds, overshadowing the skies.

In front, silver snakes whipped wildly.

All around, angry thunder roared.

And finally, Ye Qingzhou saw it: perched atop Celestial Halberd Peak was a large golden dragon corpse, its belly slashed open, eyes gouged out, heart excavated, lying there silently, slowly decaying, slowly rotting.

"You've finally arrived."

The majestic and mysterious voice of Kang Jinlong echoed in Ye Qingzhou's mind.

"Are you already dead?"

Ye Qingzhou looked puzzled.

"To beings like us, life and death are just a cycle. I am dead now, but this doesn't mean I cannot live again another life."

"I see, you're not completely dead."

"..."

Does this person even know how to talk!

"As it is said, kindness should be remembered for a thousand years, but I may not have such a good memory. You gifted me 'Refining True Gold in Fire,' how should I repay this favor? You better say it now, lest I forget one day."

Ye Qingzhou dug his ear indifferently.

His Flawless Sword Heart could sense that Kang Jinlong harbored ill intent. Yet, this malice wasn't directed at him, so Ye Qingzhou didn't bother with Kang Jinlong's schemes.

After all, he was just here to work; the boss's grudges with others were not his concern.

Roar~

In the air, Kang Jinlong's Dragon Spirit let out an angry roar, booming thunder, and howling winds, the overwhelming pressure fell upon Ye Qingzhou.

Clearly, it was very dissatisfied with Ye Qingzhou's attitude at work.

"Lowly mortal, I am the Dragon God. You commit such great disrespect, are you truly not afraid I would skin you alive, draw out your sinews, and swallow you whole?"
