Under the night sky, the streets were bustling, crowded with people.

There were many stalls on the roadside, some selling crystal cores, others selling ornaments.

After searching for a while, he finally spotted a small stall selling Sky River Stones.

Regarding the Sky River Stone, Zaxi He had some understanding; it was transported from outside the Blackwater Secret Realm.

This stone absorbed the energy from the water, able to compensate for the deficiency in one’s destiny.

This stone, outside the Blackwater Secret Realm, was not considered an expensive item.

He squatted at the stall and reached out to pick ornaments made of Sky River Stone.

The stall owner had a square face, with a touch of weariness on it.

Soon, his eyes were drawn to a Sky River Stone somewhat resembling a teardrop.

The Sky River Stone showed an emerald blue color, with numerous white cloud-like patterns within, conveying a cool sensation upon touch.

"Boss, how much Spirit Jade for this?"

"A true fixed price, one Medium Grade Spirit Jade."

The boss held out one finger.

One Medium Grade Spirit Jade was nothing more than a drop in the bucket for him.

He took out a Medium Grade Spirit Jade and handed it over, then grabbed the necklace named Angel’s Tear and left.

The Alliance Hierarch selection meeting was approaching day by day; at this moment, he was uninterested in street scenery or places of revelry.

Soon he returned to his room with the Sky River Stone necklace.

Moonlight filtered through the window screen, casting shadows of the trees.

Zaxi He put on the necklace.

It was as if a drop of emerald blue Sky River Stone emitted wisps of steam, infusing the energy channels.

The lacking destiny was repaired.

Zaxi He sat cross-legged, his expression changed dramatically.

Previously slightly restless, his cheeks now showed a tranquil look.

At this moment, the water element energy from the Sky River Stone enveloped him akin to the ocean.

The water element energy his body lacked was also replenished.

He then closed his eyes and began to train.

Eyes closed, mind reflecting, the heart like the sea, illuminating everything.

"To make rapid progress in cultivation, one must have interest in cultivation."

He quickly realized that the reason he nodded off during cultivation earlier was simply due to a lack of interest.

Thus, he calmed down to find the joy in cultivation.

The night swiftly passed.

Throughout this night, he remained focused on cultivation.

Finally, at dawn.

He felt the signs of breaking through bottlenecks.

The body was like a vortex, crazily absorbing surrounding energy.

The red Spiritual Energy in his Dantian gradually underwent a qualitative change, turning into a blue liquid.

At the next moment, he opened his eyes, a blue light flashed across them.

"A breakthrough in cultivation."

As common sense suggests.

Someone who hasn’t broken through the realm in a millennium suddenly could break through, should be ecstatically happy.

If a normal person encountered such a thing, they would probably jump up and laugh loudly.

However, Zaxi He’s gaze remained calm.

Had it been before, with a breakthrough, he would find a place of revelry to drink flower wine and celebrate.

Yet, at this moment, he had no such thought.

He reached out to touch his cheek.

Previously his cheeks were always dry, peeling.

Unexpectedly, his face was clean, as smooth as jade, with no dryness at all.

"Is this the benefit brought by the Sky River Stone?"

He touched the Sky River Stone on his chest.

A sense of coldness came forth.

However, he clearly felt the water energy emitted by the Sky River Stone had weakened a bit.

"I need to find Spirit Stones with more water elements."

Zaxi He muttered to himself.

He had some understanding of stones that can replenish water energy.

They are Sky River Stone, Amethyst, Obsidian, Blue Sandstone.

Obsidian has the richest water elements.

However, Obsidian only appears in specific sea areas, and is also quite expensive.

A finger-sized piece of Obsidian would cost dozens of High-quality Spirit Jade.

Thinking of Obsidian’s high price, Zaxi He abandoned this idea.

Currently, he could only rely on the Sky River Stone for water energy replenishment.

He rose and looked out the window, the sky covered with dark clouds, only the sky showed a sea-like blue.

His eyes quickly turned.

Now just at the initial stage of Heavenly Saint Boundary, becoming the Blackwater Alliance leader is a daunting task.

If given thirty more years, he might have the strength to challenge the masters within the Blackwater Secret Realm.

"Never mind, for this Alliance Hierarch meeting, I’ll just go explore."

With this sorted out in his mind.

Zaxi He began planning for thirty years later.

The leader could govern the Blackwater Alliance for thirty years as per regulations.

Only some leaders, greedy for power, after becoming the leader would eliminate dissent and change rules.

The previous leader, Qin Tianba, was such a person; thus, he was the Blackwater Alliance leader for a thousand years.

However, his leadership greatly impacted the Blackwater Secret Realm, causing near ruin.

A thousand years ago, the Blackwater Secret Realm was not so isolated, able to connect with the outside world.

A thousand years later, the Blackwater Secret Realm could only shrink here, with no strength to fight the outside.

Thus, leading to the Blackwater Secret Realm being bullied, and Qin Tianba was extremely weak outside, losing money, Spirit Jade, beauties.

Yet internally, he was very harsh.

"Though I don’t have the chance to become the new Alliance leader, I can still vote for a wise leader."

Zaxi He silently decided, resolving to choose a wise leader at that time.

At this moment, a knock on the door sounded.

"Young Sect Master, the old Sect Master invites you to your master’s birthday banquet, it’s time to set off."

A urging voice came from outside the door.

This voice reached Zaxi He’s ears like a life-urging talisman.

Zaxi He pushed open the door, outside the maid held a bag containing a piece of dragon neck meat.

This dragon was called the Carnivorous Dragon, it’s a type of dragon raised in captivity.

Eating this can raise one’s cultivation and improve Vital Energy.

And dragon neck meat is undoubtedly the best part of the Carnivorous Dragon. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

A piece of dragon neck meat costs around five hundred High-quality Spirit Jade.

"This was a gift from the old Sect Master for your master."

Zaxi He accepted the gift.

He knew his father, though applying great pressure, also bore great pressure himself.

"By the way, Young Sect Master, this dragon neck meat was bought with borrowed Spirit Jade, you’ll need to personally repay it later."

The maid glanced at Zaxi He’s back.

Zaxi He gave a wry smile.

"Understood."

Carrying the gift, he rode a long sword, soaring into the sky.

The white clouds drifted by, and at this moment, he felt incredibly light-hearted.
