One of Yu Zi Yu’s few admirable traits was his appreciation for talent.

Because of this, he had taken in Nine Tails and Bull Demon as his subordinates.

Because of this, he single-handedly established the now-powerful and influential Demon Court.

And now, once again driven by his love for talent, he had acknowledged a mere fifteen-year-old girl as his Little Sister.

Fifteen was a very young age. So young that, for many, it marked only the beginning of their journey into Transcendence.

However, Quinn had already stepped into the Demigod Realm. Though she had the aid of the Demon Court’s most advanced research labs, her talent was undeniable.

“From now on, just call me Big Brother…” Yu Zi Yu reiterated his words. His figure, standing silently in space, hovering ever so slightly above the surface, seemed to flicker before appearing close to the three prodigies.

Gently ruffling Quinn’s shoulder-length chestnut hair, a rare look of affection appeared on Yu Zi Yu’s face.

[She’s a fine little girl. Indeed, one worthy of cultivation.] Yu Zi Yu’s gaze sharpened momentarily, before he eventually shifted his focus away.

This girl—no, these three young geniuses—each possessed extraordinary talent, but their status screens were not particularly impressive.

After all, Yu Zi Yu had encountered countless lavishly detailed status screens. He had seen numerous status screens belonging to Tier-6 experts.

So, it was no surprise that the status screens of these mere Tier-4 experts would not amaze him.

However, it did not matter.

The main point was that Yu Zi Yu currently had some rare free time to properly train them.

With that thought, Yu Zi Yu waved his hand.

*Boooooom…* With a deafening roar, a green vortex began to manifest slowly, eliciting stunned looks from Quinn, Nurarihyon, and God-Devouring Rat.

“Follow me…” Without wasting another moment, Yu Zi Yu stepped into the swirling green vortex.

…

Among Yu Zi Yu’s Nine Realms, the Realm of Life was the one most suited for training.

Here, the Spiritual Energy was so dense it felt almost tangible, while the air brimmed with vitality. The entire realm seemed to pulse with life itself.

Lush greenery stretched endlessly across this Small World, with Towering Trees that soared hundreds, if not thousands, of meters into the sky, their canopies piercing the Heavens.

Amidst this vibrant expanse, the gasified Spiritual Energy condensed into a mist, clinging to the shimmering green leaves. As sunlight filtered through, it refracted into breathtaking rainbows, painting the realm in hues of ethereal beauty.

*Rooooooaar…* A sound neither fully a Dragon’s roar nor a Snake’s hiss, but an evocative blend of both, reverberated through the skies. Dozens of creatures, adorned with azure scales, flowing whiskers, and serpentine bodies reminiscent of giant pythons, glided gracefully through the sky.

These majestic beings were none other than the rare Flood Dragons. Yet, within the Realm of Life, dozens—perhaps even more—of these creatures thrived.

The ruler of the Nine Realms’ Heavens was Azure Dragon, and the Realm of Life, teeming with unparalleled vitality, served as the ultimate cradle for its descendants.

Here, any Spirit Creature fortunate enough to inherit Azure Dragon’s Bloodline had the potential to ascend and truly become a Dragon.

However, for now, the Tier-4 Flood Dragon marked the pinnacle of their potential.

And now, amidst this celestial paradise, three unfamiliar figures arrived.

“Greetings, Master…”

“Greetings, Master…”

…

Voices rang out in unison as one familiar figure after another emerged from the depths of the Realm of Life to welcome them.

And they were naturally the Elf Queen, the Mermaid Queen, and others.

“Mhmm…”Nodding slightly in response, Yu Zi Yu’s gaze landed on a figure in the crowd who seemed particularly excited.

It was Bosun, a member of the Blood Demon Clan and Yu Zi Yu’s Second Disciple.

After Yu Zi Yu had reforged his body, further cleansed with Yin and Yang Energies.

Now, Bosun’s complexion was rosy, and his aura steady, signaling that his injuries had fully healed.

“Train with me for a while,” Yu Zi Yu stated softly, his voice rippling through the air like waves, striking straight at the heart.

“Yes, Master,” Bosun responded, his voice brimming with excitement, his gaze blazing with intensity.

However, Yu Zi Yu chose to overlook Bosun’s apparent zeal and vigor, as now was not the time to dwell on them.

Just a faint smile flashed on his lips before his consciousness returned to his True Form.

*Booooom, boooom…* Accompanied by deafening roars, an enormous Tree surged upward from the ground.

Its branches, resembling divine chains, stirred ripples of Spiritual Energy in the air.

Its increasingly massive trunk resembled an Azure Dragon ascending to the Heavens, while its roots transformed into Flood Dragons, anchoring themselves in space, giving out ferocious roars.

From afar, this Towering Tree, that seemed to be holding up the starry sky, floated a hundred meters above the ground, rather than being rooted in it.

And this was perfectly normal.

Yu Zi Yu no longer needed the earth as a base.

Space itself had become his true soil.

By embedding his roots in the void and drawing upon its pure Spiritual Energy, Yu Zi Yu could further enhance his cultivation.

…

Not long after Yu Zi Yu’s consciousness returned to his True Form, numerous figures, as per his arrangements, either sat cross-legged or prostrated themselves on his sprawling branches.

Though Yu Zi Yu had not fully revealed his True Form and currently only spanned the size of a city, it was more than sufficient to bear the weight of these individuals.

Bosun chose a branch wreathed in burning blood flames.

Quinn selected a branch shimmering with lightning, as if birthed from lightning itself.

One by one, each made their choice, indirectly showcasing the terrifying nature of Yu Zi Yu’s True Form.

The world cultivated one or two Daos, but Yu Zi Yu alone cultivated multiple Daos and embodied the strengths of numerous races.

Such a thing was beyond comprehension.

“Treasure this opportunity well. I’m not sure when I’ll be able to bring you all together to train like this again,” Yu Zi Yu advised, his voice carrying a rare touch of earnestness.

With that, Yu Zi Yu’s focus sank into his True Form, immersing himself in refining his own strength.

As for everything else, Yu Zi Yu paid no further attention.

The Demon Court was managed by Nine Tails and Sarcosuchus.

In the Society of Demons and Fiends, Bull Demon reported that all was well.

In the Tree Realm, once Yu Zi Yu awoke, these Trees could be awakened into new Treants.

On the Void Continent, Avril was diligently hunting and cultivating Miracle Fruits.

As for Zi Lian, who had just stepped into Tier-6, he had ventured to the back side of another galaxy to rally a Void Army.

Everything was progressing as Yu Zi Yu had envisioned.

And other characters, such as Seven, Moonshadow Reaper, and others were heading to the First Tower of the World, and required no attention from Yu Zi Yu either.

With everything in place, Yu Zi Yu could finally cultivate with undivided focus.

Regrettably, this might very well be the last calm before the storm.
