Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1392 Breakthrough
Time flies like an arrow; in the blink of an eye, more than a decade has quietly passed.

On a morning in September of the 668th year of the Great Han Dynasty, a strange energy fluctuation suddenly erupted from Liu Changxu, who was in seclusion in the Demon Emperor's Cave on Snow Lotus Peak.

In an instant, the flow of time within a radius of several dozen feet around him suddenly accelerated, and everything around him seemed to be drawn into the accelerating vortex.

However, this acceleration did not last long. Just a moment later, time seemed to be paused again, as if it had stopped flowing, creating a stillness that was somewhat unsettling.

However, this state of time stagnation is extremely brief, like a fleeting moment, and returns to normal in the blink of an eye.

Just then, Liu Changxu, who had kept his eyes tightly closed, slowly opened them. At that moment, his eyes were like the vast universe, deep and mysterious, as if they held endless secrets.

Liu Changxu was in high spirits. After more than a decade of unremitting efforts, he had finally crossed the threshold of understanding the laws of time. Next, he would devote himself to seclusion and attempt to break through to the Mahayana realm.

However, Liu Changxu did not rush to continue his seclusion, but calmly walked out of the cave. Immediately afterwards, with a slight thought, his figure appeared like a phantom in the beautiful valley where his wife and children were.

"Your Majesty, you've emerged from seclusion so quickly!"

When his wives, Xiao Zi'er and Zhao Qi'er, and the other women saw their husband suddenly appear, their joy was instantly palpable, and they all asked him questions:

"I only came out of seclusion this time to see you all. Next, I need to continue my seclusion to break through to a higher level. Have I encountered any unusual situations in the past ten years?"

Liu Changxu asked with a concerned expression:

"Your Majesty, for the past ten years or so, everything has been peaceful and nothing unusual has happened."

Xiao Zier said with a smile:

"That's good. Today, let's have a meal together as a family! After that, I will continue my seclusion."

Liu Changxu said:
"Okay!"

Xiao Zier and the other women nodded in agreement.

Before long, the children, having heard the news, also rushed over to see their father, Emperor Liu Changxu. Afterwards, the whole family bustled into the kitchen of the Ruyi Lotus Palace to prepare the ancestral meal for noon that day.

Liu Changxu was in high spirits and personally cooked three of his signature spiritual dishes.

With the whole family working together, lunch was ready in no time. Then, the family sat down together happily to enjoy their lunch.

"Your Majesty, I plan to go into seclusion to attempt to break through to the Tribulation Transcending stage. What do you think?"

His wife, Zhao Qi'er, suddenly asked:
"Let's wait until I advance to the Mahayana stage before arranging for you to go into seclusion! At that time, I will personally protect you, and your success will be much more assured!"

After listening, Liu Changxu thought for a moment and then spoke:
Then, he looked at the seven women standing to the side: Su Yue'e, Zhao Qingxia, Dong Xue, Chen Yufei, Yang Qingxue, Jiang Xuefeng, and Liu Qingying.

Then he said to them:

"Next, you should also focus on your cultivation. Once I advance to the Mahayana stage, I will arrange for you to undergo closed-door cultivation to break through if you wish!"

Liu Changxu said:
"I'll obey!"

The women responded in unison: After lunch, Liu Changxu didn't even have time to be intimate with his wives before hurriedly returning to the Demon Emperor's Cave on Snow Lotus Peak.

After sitting cross-legged, Liu Changxu did not immediately begin meditation. Instead, he took out a ninth-order spiritual item from his storage bracelet, which he had accumulated over the years and which could assist in breaking through to the Mahayana stage.

This includes one bottle of ninth-grade low-level Three-Legged Golden Crow essence blood, one ninth-grade low-level Crimson Gold Coiled Dragon Ginseng, two ninth-grade low-level Dragon Blood Fruits, one bottle of ninth-grade low-level Taiyin True Water, one bottle of ninth-grade low-level True Dragon Essence Blood, and so on.

Without hesitation, Liu Changxu immediately picked up the bottle of low-grade ninth-rank Taiyin True Water and took a sip. Then, he began to circulate the Red Lotus Immortal Scripture to fully refine the immense energy contained within the ninth-rank Taiyin True Water.

……

Time flies, and more than twenty years have passed in a flash.

One day in the year 692 of the Great Han Dynasty, Liu Changxu, who had been in seclusion in the Demon Emperor's Cave for more than 20 years, had just consumed the last low-grade ninth-rank Dragon Blood Fruit. Then, he used all his strength to circulate the Red Lotus Immortal Scripture to refine the vast energy contained in the spiritual fruit, and then launched his final assault on the Mahayana stage.

At this moment, Liu Changxu had exhausted all the ninth-tier spiritual items that could assist in advancing to the next level. If he could not complete the breakthrough, it would mean that the breakthrough had failed.

In fact, Liu Changxu underestimated the difficulty of breaking through to the Mahayana stage, which puts him in an extremely passive position.

Fortunately, this low-grade ninth-rank Dragon Blood Fruit did not disappoint Liu Changxu's expectations. As the immense energy contained within the Dragon Blood Fruit's flesh was released like a torrent, the bottleneck that had been hindering Liu Changxu's advancement was quietly broken through.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Changxu clearly felt that his primordial spirit, physical body, and magical power were all undergoing a complete transformation, like being reborn.

However, feeling the power surging wildly within his body like a raging tide, Liu Changxu had no time to celebrate the joy of his breakthrough. He could only hurriedly circulate the Red Lotus Immortal Scripture and do his best to stabilize the already turbulent blood and magical power within his body.

As Liu Changxu completed his breakthrough, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of trillions of miles seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force, surging wildly towards Snow Lotus Peak.

Xiao Zier and her companions, who were leisurely enjoying tea and chatting in the beautiful valley, were the first to notice the unusual changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. With their keen senses, they quickly realized that their husband, Liu Changxu, was about to face the Great Ascension Tribulation.

Without delay, Xiao Zier and the other women quickly mobilized, organizing all the cultivators of the Liu family to protect Liu Changxu with all their might.

However, Liu Changxu's breakthrough to the Mahayana stage was so significant that its impact was extremely widespread. This unusual phenomenon quickly attracted the attention of the powerful demon race members active in the region.

Based on the strange changes in the celestial phenomena, many powerful demons speculated that a powerful figure was undergoing tribulation in this area. Some bold and daring demons couldn't wait to head towards Snow Dragon Mountain.

At the same time, some powerful members of the demon race quickly reported this news to their superiors.

Before long, the leaders of the top demon clans, such as the Golden Sun Deer Clan, the Snow Wolf Clan, and the Mountain Bear Clan, learned that a powerful figure was undergoing tribulation at Snow Dragon Mountain.

This news was taken very seriously by all the top powers of the demon race, who immediately reported it to their respective ninth-tier demon emperors. At the same time, they also dispatched their strongest members to Snow Dragon Mountain to investigate the situation.

At that time, the ninth-tier demon emperors of the demon race, who were fiercely confronting and entangled with the human race's Mahayana powerhouses on the front lines of the war between humans and demons, could no longer sit still after hearing this news.

Based on the intelligence reports from all parties, it is highly likely that a new powerful demon is attempting to break through to the ninth rank.

Once this demon successfully breaks through to the ninth rank, it will undoubtedly disrupt the current balance of power within the demon race.

Therefore, after an emergency meeting, the several ninth-tier demon emperors of the demon race unanimously decided to start peace talks with the human race, striving to end the war between humans and demons that had lasted for hundreds of years as soon as possible.
