CHAPTER 1060: CHAPTER 1057: ACHIEVING BREAKTHROUGHS AS EASILY AS DRINKING TEA OR WATER

So.

Ye Xuan briefly parted ways with Youwei and the Qiankun Ancestor and approached Suyun Palace alone.

He passed through the Heavenly Gate of Suyun Palace.

A light pop resonated in his heart.

As if passing through an invisible barrier.

Ye Xuan stepped into Suyun Palace.

A grand Heavenly Palace Avenue lay before him, solemn and majestic.

Buzz————

The next moment, ripples appeared in the void ahead.

Immediately after, a gigantic gourd slowly emerged from them, carried by a cloud beneath it.

The ripples dissipated.

Replaced by a giant cloud.

Upon the cloud reclined a colossal gourd.

Ye Xuan, hands in his pockets, looked on calmly, speaking slowly: "You don’t seem the least bit anxious?"

A belch came from behind the gourd.

Soon, a head with a messy nest of hair popped out.

Resembling an old beggar.

Now bleary-eyed, with a flush on his cheeks, evidently having had quite a bit to drink.

"Heh..."

"Brother Emperor Ye is here."

"Come, join your old brother for a few drinks."

The old man belched, excitedly said, and waved to Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan remained indifferent, directly stepping down the Heavenly Palace Avenue, heading deeper into Suyun Palace.

"Hey?!"

"Brother Emperor Ye, don’t run, come have a couple of drinks with me..."

Before the old man could finish, he tumbled down from the cloud, rolling onto the Heavenly Palace Avenue.

The fall made the old fellow cry out in pain.

The old man shakily got up, raising his hand to greet Ye Xuan passing by.

Boom!

The gigantic wine gourd above the cloud rolled down in an instant.

Goodness.

It directly smashed the ragged old man to the ground.

Poor old fellow had barely steadied himself before having another intimate encounter with the Heavenly Palace Avenue.

Only after a long while, when Ye Xuan’s figure disappeared, did the ragged old man manage to push the massive wine gourd aside, cursing and mumbling.

"I got the ancient characters."

Ye Xuan’s cold voice echoed from within Suyun Palace.

The ragged old man shivered, instantly sobering up, hoisting the massive wine gourd onto his shoulder, lightly jumping back onto the cloud.

"Off we go!"

The ragged old man lightly called, and the cloud seemed to have a spirit, moving at his words, carrying the ragged old man and wine gourd, instantly piercing through the sky, rushing into Suyun Palace.

At this moment.

Inside Suyun Palace, clouds swirled.

Among the undulating clouds were various jars and bottles, the fragrance of wine wafting through the air.

In the center, a platform supported by clouds held a tea table and meditation mats.

Ye Xuan sat cross-legged on a mat, holding a teapot comparable to a Great Emperor Immortal Weapon, slowly tilting it.

From the teapot, tea like nectar flowed, slowly pouring into a porcelain cup, creating tiny splashes, imbued with a subtle Daoist rhythm, indescribable.

Boom!

A gust of wind swept past, lifting Ye Xuan’s black hair, dancing wildly like a mad demon.

If Ye Xuan were wearing a long robe instead of a tunic, the sleeves would surely billow like a Banished Immortal descends to the mortal realm.

Nevertheless, at this moment, Ye Xuan emanated an indescribable Daoist aura, like a Stabilizing Needle.

"You really got it!?"

The ragged old man appeared on an empty mat across from Ye Xuan.

Squashed behind him was his precious wine gourd.

No one else but Gai Dao — Gai the Madman.

Known as Gai Grandfather, Gai Master.

At this moment, Gai the Madman stared wide-eyed at Ye Xuan, unable to hide his excitement.

Ye Xuan ignored Gai the Madman, poured half a cup of tea, then put down the teapot, and covered the cup.

That leisurely action made Gai the Madman scratch his head, wanting to urge Ye Xuan to hurry up several times, but ultimately remained silent.

Because Gai the Madman knew this guy’s temperament, the more you push, the less it works.

Better to wait for him to finish on his own.

After Ye Xuan finished everything, he snapped his fingers.

The next moment, three sheets of Saint Paper appeared out of thin air on the tea table.

The three sheets of Saint Paper automatically floated in front of Gai the Madman.

Gai the Madman focused intently on the three sheets of Saint Paper, as if afraid of missing something.

Ye Xuan finally picked up the teacup, gently stirring the tea with the lid, and took a slow sip.

Boom!

Instantly.

Ye Xuan’s cultivation soared dramatically.

Originally only at the initial stage of Entering Saint, almost in the blink of an eye, he reached the peak of Entering Saint, then stepped into the Young Saint Realm.

The Nine Saint Realms are divided into: Entering Saint, Young Saint, Lesser Saint, Heavenly Saint, Saint King, Saint Emperor, Holy Venerable, War Saint, Ancient Saint.

Each realm is divided into: Initial Stage, Middle Stage, Late Stage, and Peak Stage.

That is to say, by gently sipping tea, Ye Xuan directly broke through three realms!

Straight into the Young Saint Realm!

Such a feat, if seen by others, would undoubtedly be shockingly overwhelming.

Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow, glancing at Gai the Madman who was engrossed in analyzing the ancient characters, and said softly: "Your Universal Saint Tea is getting worse."

"Drink it as a makeshift. You know I don’t usually enjoy this stuff, haven’t made new tea in a while."

Gai the Madman didn’t even glance at Ye Xuan, focused on the ancient characters, replied casually.

Ye Xuan set down the teacup, snapped his fingers.

’Pop——’

A soft pop, the wine gourd behind Gai the Madman opened instantly.

Immediately, a thin stream flew from the gourd, pouring itself into the empty teacup beside him.

Judging the amount, Ye Xuan lightly waved his hand, the stream vanished, the gourd closed.

Ye Xuan picked up the teacup, downing the fiery liquor in one gulp.

Boom!

In an instant, Ye Xuan’s cultivation surged!

From the initial stage of Young Saint, he drove straightforwardly, instantly breaking through the barriers of Lesser Saint and Heavenly Saint realms.

At that moment, Ye Xuan directly stepped into the peak of Heavenly Saint.

Ye Xuan finally set down the teacup, softly said: "Tea cannot compare to the punch of alcohol."

Gai the Madman tilted his head, revealing one eye, gave Ye Xuan a glance, snorted: "You tasteless fellow, stealing your old brother’s wine, aren’t you afraid of drinking yourself to death."

"Besides, didn’t you say that tea is about cultivating one’s mind, while the way of wine is about awakening oneself?"

Gai the Madman finished speaking, continued studying the ancient characters.

Their conversation, if overheard by others, would surely be breathtaking.

So many involved matters beyond imagination.

Ye Xuan looked at Gai the Madman, calmly asked: "Have you figured anything out yet?"

"Not yet, give your old brother more time to study it."

Gai the Madman replied without turning his head.

"Can you even read?" Ye Xuan reclined slightly, looking at Gai the Madman with hands behind his head.

Gai the Madman slowly put down the three sheets of Saint Paper, placed them on the tea table, then looked at Ye Xuan, feeling a bit vexed, "Brother Emperor Ye, to be honest, your old brother here can’t recognize these three characters."

"Three characters?" Ye Xuan’s mouth twitched slightly: "Seems like you not only can’t read, but you also can’t count, damn it."

Gai the Madman instantly glared at Ye Xuan, grumbling: "Emperor Ye, you can insult your old brother, but you absolutely cannot insult me in this way!"
