Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1465 Murong Yuyao's Breakthrough in Seclusion
After the Qiankun Yin Yang Wuji Star Array was completed and successfully put into operation, Fireland Island seemed to be injected with new vitality, and various construction projects immediately entered a stage of full-scale advancement.

From the core territory of the Fireland Island to the construction of the Immortal City, magnificent palaces and pavilions rose from the ground, and fields of spiritual herbs were developed, exuding an atmosphere of prosperity and flourishing everywhere.

Liu Changxu did not personally oversee the construction of Tierra del Fuego, but instead entrusted the entire responsibility to his son Liu Fuhai and others.

At the same time, the internal affairs of the Liu family and the court affairs of the Great Han Dynasty were entrusted to his son, Liu Fuyue.

Having shed the burdens of mundane affairs, Liu Changxu and his wives began to enjoy a leisurely and carefree life. However, even in this tranquility, he did not neglect his family's spiritual practice, often offering guidance to his wives and children during his free time.

Among them, his three wives, Duan Yuwei, Wu Xuege, and Murong Yuyao, whose cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Transcending stage, as well as his twenty-one son Liu Fuhai and fifteen daughter Liu Fuyin, were the main targets of his guidance.

He would meticulously explain the key to breakthroughs based on each person's unique cultivation method and bottlenecks, helping them lay the most solid foundation in the final stage of their tribulation-crossing period.

Liu Changxu was eagerly anticipating their breakthrough to the Mahayana stage. This would not only significantly enhance the strength of the Liu family and the Great Han Immortal Dynasty, but also allow him to truly relieve himself of some of the burdens, freeing him from the constant tension of guarding the family and preventing those ninth-order sea monsters lurking in the deep sea from suddenly launching an attack.

However, the conditions for breaking through to the Mahayana stage are extremely demanding. Not only must one accumulate extremely powerful magical energy, but one must also decipher the most mysterious and unpredictable laws of time and integrate one's own Great Dao with the laws of heaven and earth.

Therefore, based on Liu Changxu's understanding of Duan Yuwei and the others' current state, although they had reached the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage, they were still lacking the necessary strength to successfully break through. Forcing them into seclusion to break through at this moment would have a very slim chance of success. Therefore, he did not urge them, but instead told them to continue to hone their mental state, stabilize their cultivation, and wait for the right opportunity.

These peaceful days flowed by slowly, and before we knew it, more than a hundred years had passed quietly like sand slipping through our fingers.

On the night of July 18th, 2139 of the Great Han Dynasty, the small restaurant of the Ruyi Lotus Palace above Peach Blossom Mountain on Golden Ring Island was brightly lit and filled with spiritual energy. The large white jade dining table shone brightly and was filled with a variety of exquisite and tempting high-grade spiritual dishes: steamed Xuan Shui Dragon Carp with a white sheen, steamed spirit rice with jade exuding a faint medicinal fragrance, and roasted dragon ribs that were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Each dish was filled with spiritual energy, and just smelling it was enough to soothe the mind and body.

Liu Changxu sat in the main seat, surrounded by his wife and children. Although more than a hundred years had passed, their appearances showed no change, only a sense of composure that had been tempered by time.

The group chatted and laughed, talking about the interesting things that had happened in their clan and the Immortal Dynasty recently, occasionally mentioning their progress in cultivation. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

"Your Majesty, I plan to go into seclusion to break through to the Mahayana stage in a few days. Please grant me permission."

Murong Yuyao, who was standing beside him, suddenly spoke, her tone steady but with an undeniable firmness.

Liu Changxu was taken aback upon hearing this, but then a look of joy appeared in his eyes. He looked at his wife and saw the confident demeanor in her eyes, and he understood.

After more than a hundred years of cultivation and refinement, Murong Yuyao and Duan Yuwei have indeed tempered their cultivation and mental state to the extreme. At the same time, they have also made a preliminary understanding of the laws of time. They are only one step away from the Mahayana stage and have already met all the requirements for breaking through to the Mahayana stage.

However, breaking through to the Mahayana realm has always been accompanied by immense risks. The tests of the laws of heaven and earth are extremely rigorous. In the past, many cultivators who were stuck at the peak of the tribulation crossing have perished at this final hurdle.

Remembering the lessons of those who perished due to failed breakthroughs, Liu Changxu suppressed his eagerness and chose to respect his wife's decision.

He nodded slightly and said in a deep voice:
"Yes. But you need to know that there are still risks involved in breaking through at this time. You must be fully prepared and not be careless."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I have made all the necessary preparations and will certainly not cause you any worry."

Murong Yuyao spoke with certainty, her eyes sparkling with longing and confidence for a higher realm. Liu Changxu looked at her composed demeanor and slowly nodded.

Although he still had concerns, he was even more aware that the path of cultivation required facing challenges head-on. Now that his wife had made her decision, all he could do was to build a strong support system for her and wait for good news.

Seeing that Murong Yuyao had volunteered to go into seclusion to break through to the Mahayana stage, Duan Yuwei, who was standing next to Liu Changxu, had a hint of urgency in her eyes and immediately spoke up:

"Your Majesty, I also intend to go into seclusion to break through to the Mahayana stage. Please grant my permission!"

Looking at her slightly hurried expression, Liu Changxu knew that her decision at this moment was mostly influenced by Murong Yuyao, rather than her own true thoughts.

So he gently but firmly advised:

"No rush, let's wait until Yuyao breaks through!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Duan Yuwei's face, but she knew her husband's considerations were reasonable, so she could only reluctantly reply:
"OK then."

She knew in her heart that her eagerness at this moment was ultimately due to her unwillingness to fall behind Murong Yuyao in terms of cultivation.

However, in the path of cultivation, the most taboo thing is to be impatient and restless. Her husband's obstruction may not be a bad thing. Thinking this, the anxiety in her heart gradually subsided. She turned to look at Murong Yuyao, her eyes filled with a hint of expectation and a secret rivalry.

A year later, under Liu Changxu's personal arrangement, Murong Yuyao entered the Ascension Peak cave specially prepared for her breakthrough to the Mahayana stage and began her seclusion.

Time flies, and fifty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

That morning, the spring sun shone brightly, and fallen petals filled the pavilion atop Peach Blossom Mountain. Liu Changxu and his wives sat around the pavilion, holding warm cups of spiritual tea, chatting about the recent amusing incidents involving the younger members of the clan, their laughter echoing gently on the mountain breeze.

Suddenly, an unusual fluctuation came from afar. Everyone sensed it and looked in the direction of Ascension Peak.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, converging towards Ascension Peak at a visible speed, surging like a rushing river, stirring up visible vortexes of spiritual energy in the air. Even the peach petals outside the pavilion were swept up by this force, flying everywhere and drifting in the same direction.

"It's Ascension Peak!"

Su Jinxiu was the first to react, her eyes flashing with excitement and nervousness, and she said:
"Your Majesty, Yuyao...is about to undergo her tribulation?"

Liu Changxu put down his teacup, gazing intently at the center where spiritual energy was gathering, his chest rising and falling slightly involuntarily.

After fifty years of seclusion, Murong Yuyao has finally reached the crucial moment of breaking through the Mahayana stage and emerging from her cocoon.

Without any hesitation, he immediately transformed into a streak of light and appeared above a sacred mountain near Ascension Peak.
