Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

As soon as Xia Jin returned to her residence, she did not disturb Mu Ping'er and Yin Shixuan. Instead, she went to her room and began her seclusion.

The old man's actions just now made him the number one in the Heavenly Rank, thus triggering the reward for completing his system task.

[Reward: 15,000 years of cultivation, +2 fragments of the Eastern Emperor Bell]

Xia Jin checked the system's rewards in her mind several times. After confirming that she hadn't misread them, she took ten deep breaths to calm herself down.

Because either of these two rewards would provide an unimaginable boost to his strength.

Fifteen thousand years of cultivation! If one were to cultivate on their own, even in a blessed land like a divine temple, it would probably take at least a hundred years.

The fragments of the Eastern Emperor Bell are incredibly rare and precious artifacts, especially since Xia Jin only possesses one fragment but has already experienced its power. She can hardly imagine the immense power that would be unleashed if these two fragments were combined.

"System, retrieve the reward."

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for collecting your mission reward: 15,000 years of cultivation, and 2 fragments of the Eastern Emperor Bell]

"System, use all your cultivation points to deduce the Nine Revolutions Creation Scripture."

Without the slightest hesitation, he issued the order again.

He is now at the second level of the Creation Realm. According to his estimation, if he were to fully utilize his abilities in his calculations, he might be able to reach the limit of the Creation Realm. In that case, even without relying on any external forces, he is confident that after entering the third level of the Divine Temple, he will become one of the best among the disciples of the "Hun" class.

The Nine Revolutions Creation Scripture was circulating wildly within his body, and his 15,000 years of cultivation was being continuously fed into this raging furnace like fuel.

Xia Jin's entire body began to glow, but it was a faint and restrained light, like a luminous pearl in the deep sea, gentle and not dazzling.

Moreover, during the operation of the Nine Revolutions Creation Scripture, Xia Jin also produced a rare purple aura, which grew increasingly larger around him.

Gradually, the entire room was enveloped in a hazy purple hue.

Some of it has even overflowed out of control.

At this moment, Yin Shixuan, who was cultivating outside the hall, suddenly felt incredibly refreshed, and his mind became much clearer. Some of the cultivation bottlenecks that had been hindering him showed signs of loosening at this moment.

He suddenly opened his eyes, trying to figure out what was going on, when he discovered that wisps of purple mist were faintly visible in the air, drifting out from the main hall.

That's why I had that feeling just now.

"What's going on?... Could it be that the master has returned?"

He quickly got up and rushed into the main hall, but was stopped by Mu Ping'er just before entering.

"etc!!"

Yin Shixuan frowned, but before he could speak, Mu Ping'er interrupted him.

"The master is probably in seclusion right now, so don't go in and disturb him."

Although she said that, Mu Ping'er's excitement was no less than Yin Shixuan's. After all, she had discovered the purple aura earlier than Yin Shixuan and guessed what had happened immediately.

Yin Shixuan, still flushed from the excitement, leaned closer and whispered, "Miss Mu, do you think the master has successfully survived the trial in the Demon Cave?"

Mu Ping'er nodded, a smile appearing on her face: "With your strength, I think this is the only possibility."

"Otherwise, the master has been missing for a full ten days. Where did he go during those ten days? In the entire second level of the temple, the only place that could be the Demon Cave is probably there."

Upon hearing Mu Ping'er's affirmation, Yin Shixuan's eye twitched involuntarily.

Meanwhile, Mu Ping'er secretly clenched her hands.

Happy? Excited? No, these words probably can't express how I feel right now.

My choice was definitely right. By clinging to Lord Xia Jin's coattails, my future prospects are incredibly bright.

Time passes little by little.

The purple aura inside the hall grew increasingly dense, even beginning to condense into visible purple clouds, swirling and billowing above the hall. Mu Ping'er and Yin Shixuan stood guard outside the door, not daring to relax their vigilance in the slightest.

Half a day.

One day.

day and night.

It wasn't until noon the next day that the purple aura that filled the sky finally began to slowly recede.

Xia Jin opened her eyes.

Just as he predicted, he has now directly entered the ninth level of the Creation Realm, and is only one step away from the next major realm.

He took a deep breath, and the purple energy in the room seemed to be summoned, all of it was absorbed into his body without wasting a single drop. In that instant, his aura rose again, and although it did not break through that barrier, it became even more solid.

"The Nine Revolutions Creation Scripture has already been deduced to the sixth level of the eighth revolution. To go further, the required cultivation level is enormous."

but……

A slight smile appeared on his lips. With the system around, what did it matter how much cultivation he needed? It would just take a little more time.

Just then, he suddenly looked towards the door, his gaze seemingly penetrating the doorway and directly seeing Mu Ping'er and Yin Shixuan outside.

Xia Jin smiled slightly and flicked her finger.

Two purple beams of light pierced through the door and entered the two people's bodies!

"Before I enter the Third Heaven, I'm bestowing upon you a great opportunity. How far you go depends on yourselves."

His voice clearly reached their ears through the door.

Mu Ping'er and Yin Shixuan were stunned at first, and then they felt the powerful force surging up in their bodies!

That was the purple energy that overflowed when Xia Jin refined his ten thousand years of cultivation. Although it was only a trace left after he absorbed it, it was enough for Mu Ping'er and Yin Shixuan to have a chance to be reborn!

"Thank you, sir!!" The two were so excited that they trembled all over. After thanking him, they couldn't wait to sit down cross-legged on the spot and absorb the purple light that Xia Jin had just injected into their bodies.

Xia Jin sensed their state, nodded slightly, and then stopped paying attention.

He slowly closed his eyes again.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, his soul opened its eyes.

Above the soul's head, a broken bronze bell floated silently.

Donghuang Zhong.

The bell is covered with cracks, and only one-fifth of it is solid bronze; the rest is an illusory shadow, as if it might vanish at any moment.

Xia Jin's spirit gently raised her hand.

Two bronze fragments appeared out of thin air.

"go."

Xia Jin said softly.

Two fragments slowly flew up and landed on the Eastern Emperor Bell, where they began to merge.

In an instant, the bronze bell burst forth with dazzling light! It carried a power that transcended time and space, as if it could illuminate the past and the future.

It took a full day and night for the fusion to be completed.

The bronze bell has been largely restored, with less than two-fifths remaining as a phantom image. The cracks on the bell have also decreased significantly. Although it is still somewhat damaged, its former grandeur is now evident.

Xia Jin smiled.

With the Eastern Emperor Bell mostly repaired, wouldn't its power be many times stronger than before?

His thought caused the Eastern Emperor Bell to tremble slightly.

Although no sound was uttered, the entire sea of ​​consciousness began to churn and ripple. It was as if the first bell tolled at the beginning of time, capable of stabilizing earth, water, fire, and wind, and breaking all laws and evil.

"good!"

Xia Jin laughed loudly, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.
