The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

With so many resources now at his disposal, Lu Ye knew that the right thing to do was to digest them and transform them into his own strength as soon as possible.

Lu Ye found a cave, entered it, set up a protective barrier, and then began his secluded cultivation.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side.

"This is where?"

In the pitch-black space, Xiao Qingyin looked wary. She was supposed to be cultivating in seclusion in the mountains, waiting for Lu Ye to arrive.

However, as they passed a stream, the ground beneath their feet suddenly became hollow, as if they had stepped into some kind of teleportation array.

When I regained consciousness, this was the scene before me.

Xiao Qingyin was no little girl after all; she was experienced and knowledgeable. As the former sect leader, she quickly calmed down and realized that she had indeed entered some unknown teleportation array.

Xiao Qingyin sighed softly, a moment of sadness passing through her.

She had no idea where she was.

After that... will I be able to go back?
The dark road ahead did not last long. After a short while, Xiao Qingyin found that in front of her was actually a small orchard.

The next second, Xiao Qingyin saw something emitting a green light, which seemed to be some kind of seed, floating in mid-air.

The entire orchard is full of vibrant life.

"what is this?"

Another question arose in Xiao Qingyin's mind: It looks like the seed of some kind of plant?
Walking slowly over, Xiao Qingyin curiously reached out to touch it...

Unexpectedly, a layer of light appeared outside the green seed, blocking Xiao Qingyin's hand.

Seeing this, Xiao Qingyin seemed to be thinking, this was saying that she was not the destined one.

Xiao Qingyin didn't insist, smiled calmly, and removed her hand.

Since that incident, Xiao Qingyin felt that her mindset had become much more relaxed.

Some things... don't belong to you, and there's no need to force them.

"The primordial energy of heaven and earth here is so rich."

A moment later, sensing the situation here, Xiao Qingyin was somewhat surprised.

Even when I entered the Yunyao Secret Realm with Lu Ye, the concentration of Origin Qi inside was about the same.

It's equivalent to the source energy intensity of a secret realm.

The orchard is not large; besides some fruit trees, there is a wooden house and a small lake.

After searching around, Xiao Qingyin was unable to find an exit.

Xiao Qingyin shook her head: "Since we can't get out, we can only stay here for the time being."

...

Soon, a few days passed in the blink of an eye.

In Qingzhou over the past few days, rumors about Yin Wuxiao's demise have become increasingly intense.

Furthermore, with the Yuan King's promotion, the rumor that Yin Wuxiao was a demon became known to more people.

As the Yuan King began to clean up Yin Wuxiao's residence, he actually found some things there.

This completely confirmed Yin Wuxiao's identity as a heretic, causing a dramatic reversal in his reputation in Qingzhou.

"I never imagined that Yin Wuxiao, a dignified ninth-level Earth Realm cultivator who was said to be only one step away from the Heaven Realm, would actually be a demon!"

"Now that the evidence has been presented, I think it's unlikely that Prince Yuan would lie or forge anything on this matter. It's probably already confirmed."

"You're all concerned about whether Yin Wuxiao is a demon, but I'm more concerned about what happens if Yin Wuxiao really does perish... Doesn't that mean that the person named Lu Yan who made the list has strength comparable to the Heavenly Realm?!"

Otherwise, without the strength of the Heaven Realm, how could one have had the chance to kill Yin Wuxiao, who was at the ninth level of the Earth Realm?

Upon hearing this, everyone else in the tavern was stunned. Yes…

If someone was able to kill Yin Wuxiao, doesn't that mean... that young man who came to Yuqing City back then possessed at least the skills of the Heavenly Realm?!

hiss……

This is no longer a matter of genius or not; in fact, the term "genius" is completely insufficient to describe this kind of...monstrous talent!
"Could it be... that he has truly reached the Heavenly Realm at such a young age?"

Inside the tavern, someone whispered.

Meanwhile, in Qingzhou, many people were discussing a critical juncture.

Originally, Lu Ye just wanted to find a place to utilize some of the resources he had and improve himself.

Unexpectedly, Xiaoling, who had been quiet for a long time, brought good news again.

Its primordial elixir has been fully condensed!

This news was also a pleasant surprise for Lu Ye.

After receiving the Primal Spirit Liquid, Lu Ye had only digested half of it when he arrived at the checkpoint of the sixth level of the Earth Realm.

With such a massive energy source, the barrier of the sixth level of the Earth Realm was of little effect in preventing its collapse.

"It seems there's actually a chance to break through to the seventh level of the Earth Realm?"

Sensing that at least half of the terrifying energy remained, this thought suddenly came to Lu Ye's mind.

"Try it."

Being able to reach the seventh level would be ideal.

As Lu Ye rapidly refined the Starry Sky Ancient Scripture, his newly broken-through sixth-level realm surged once again.

A few more days later...

Inside the cave, Lu Ye's aura was so powerful that any outsider present would likely be speechless with shock.

All around him, stars appeared and swirled, as if they had fallen from the sky and gathered around him.

One person... is a whole starry sky!
"The seventh level of the Earth Realm is not without a chance."

Although Xiao Ling's original spiritual liquid energy was almost exhausted, she had already successfully completed her mission by pushing her cultivation to the current sixth level of perfection.

Next, it will depend on arduous cultivation... and the small help of a few spiritual herbs!

With a flick of his wrist, Lu Ye directly took out two sixth-order spiritual herbs and swallowed one of them in an instant.

A moment later, another plant died.

The medicinal effects of the two sixth-order spiritual herbs erupted within his body in an instant.

However, before it could rampage, it was refined by the Starry Sky Ancient Scripture and obediently followed to the seventh barrier.

Once... twice...

boom!
With the third impact, the space around Lu Ye became slightly distorted, and the starry scene became brighter and brighter, with the deep stars seemingly containing a myriad of powers!

The seventh level of the underworld!
"call……"

A half-month-long seclusion is not a long time for other Earth Realm cultivators, but for Lu Ye, it was considered a deep seclusion.

Having broken through two realms in succession, he got up and walked out of the cave, deciding to return to the northern border of Xuanzhou.

After all, it's been a month or two since I left, so it's time to go back and visit.

The seventh level of the Earth Realm is already considered the late stage of the Earth Realm, making it much stronger than the fifth level.

Lu Ye used the Purple Gold Transformation. Although it was still a white escape light, its speed was much faster than before.

With Lu Ye's departure, the turbulent天地源气 (Heaven and Earth Origin Qi) within this mountain range, which had been raging for half a month, finally began to calm down. (End of Chapter)
