Xuanjian: Jade True Sword Immortal, my Dao Wisdom keeps increasing.

Xuanzhen Mountain.

As winter fades and spring arrives, the snow on the mountains quietly melts away, and the silvery-white mountain scenery seems to have put on a new coat, with lush green buds covering the entire mountainside.

That vibrant life was truly heartwarming.

At this moment, the summit of Xuanzhen Mountain is shrouded in a sea of ​​clouds, and a gentle spring breeze caresses the face.

Wearing a jade crown and dressed in white, Jiang Heqian stepped out of the mountaintop temple.

Nian Yi and Lin Jueyin followed closely behind him, their faces filled with reluctance.

Jiang Heqian took a deep breath, turned around, took out a letter from his pocket, and handed it to Nian Yi, saying:

"Fellow Daoist Nian, this is a letter of thanks I wrote to Senior Shangyuan. Please pass it on to him on my behalf."

"As Senior Shangyuan requested, I have mastered the Jade True Purple Mansion Secret Technique taught by you within four years. Today I will leave Xuanzhen Mountain and head south back to Milin County to prepare and hone my mental cultivation. In a few years, I will go into seclusion to break through to the Purple Mansion. Fellow Daoist, take care."

Nian Yi took the letter and, with a reluctant expression, tried to persuade him to stay:

"Why don't you, Fellow Daoist Jiang, go into seclusion on Xuanzhen Mountain to break through your cultivation?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Heqian smiled and shook his head. Then, he took out a finely polished jade disc depicting Chang'e flying to the moon from his storage bag and presented it to Lin Jueyin, saying softly:

"I am but a rogue cultivator, and I have nothing of note to offer. This [White Jade Heart-Clearing Wall] was carved by my own hand, and I present it to Fairy Lin as a token of my appreciation."

"I have broken through to the Purple Mansion realm and will return to find Fairy Lin. Farewell."

As he finished speaking, Jiang Heqian's expression hardened. Without pausing, he turned and rode the wind into the sky. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a streak of bluish-white light and disappeared from the summit of Xuanzhen Mountain.

Lin Jueyin calmly held the jade disc in her hands, gazing at the escaping light in mid-air until it completely disappeared from her sight, before speaking firmly:

"Senior Brother Nian, I must work hard in my cultivation so that I don't fall too far behind Brother Jiang. Senior Brother Nian, you should too."

Looking at Lin Jueyin's determined expression, Nian Yi nodded thoughtfully. Then the two turned around and returned to the Immortal Temple to continue their cultivation.

Yucheng Peak, Milin County.

A streak of bluish-white light rushed over, and after a dozen breaths, the Jade True Dharma Light paused, then landed on the mountaintop, revealing a middle-aged man dressed in white.

The visitor was Jiang Heqian, who had returned from Xuanzhen Mountain.

Standing atop Yucheng Peak, he looked around and was filled with a sense of awe.

"After more than three years of cultivation at Xuanzhen Mountain, I am now feeling a little reluctant to leave."

Jiang Heqian sighed softly, gathered his chaotic thoughts, raised his hand and cast a spell to activate the mountaintop formation. In a flash, he appeared in the mountaintop cave.

He casually cast a purification spell, tidying up his cave dwelling which he hadn't visited for several years. Then he sat cross-legged in the center of the cave, pondering, and thought to himself:

"I still possess two Purple Mansion Secret Techniques, [Jade Body] and [Brocade Transformation]. I must hurry and strive to master them within three years. Calculating the time, there are less than nine years left until True Monarch Shangyuan attains enlightenment in the North Sea."

"If you want to capitalize on the opportunity presented by Yuan Zhenjun's attainment of enlightenment, you must master the Purple Mansion Secret Techniques [Jade Body] and [Brocade Transformation] within three years."

"The reason is simple. For cultivators of the Purple Mansion Golden Core Path, the time required to break through to the Purple Mansion and transfer their Immortal Foundation to the Ascending Sun Mansion is fixed, approximately five years. During the time I elevate my Immortal Foundation to the Ascending Sun Mansion and nurture the manifestation of the Jade True Divine Power, the Supreme Primordial True Lord will be proving his Dao in the North Sea, and the Jade True Fruit will be widely recognized. This will likely provide unexpected assistance to my achievement of the Jade True Divine Power."

With this thought in mind, Jiang Heqian secretly made up his mind.

Then he took out the Jade True Pill he had retrieved from the Xiao family from his storage bag and examined it carefully.

On his way back from Xuanzhen Mountain, Jiang Heqian stopped by the Xiao family in Lixia to retrieve the Jade True Pill that he had entrusted Xiao Yuansi to refine.

When he went to the Xiao family to retrieve the elixir, he was received by Xiao Yongling. Upon asking, he learned that Xiao Yuansi had gone to the North Sea to cultivate with Master Xiao a year ago.

Inside the cave at this time.

The Jade True Pill, about the size of a lychee, is pure white and emits a soft, silvery-white magical light. The surface of the pill has no patterns, indicating that it is made from genuine spiritual herbs and materials.

Jiang Heqian flipped his hand and put the Jade True Pill into his storage bag. He then raised his hand and cast a spell, fully activating the [Three Elements Returning Spirit Array] to assist his cultivation.

He closed his eyes and focused his body, placing his hands in a mudra on his knees, fully comprehending the [Jade Body] Purple Mansion Secret Technique.

In an instant, a misty, ethereal energy drifted through the cave, and the milky-white Jade True Magic Power flickered incessantly.

-

Golden Mountain in the Desert.

Wisps of purple smoke drifted out from the mountaintop cave, and the five suns hanging in front of the Purple Smoke Cave were radiating dazzling light.

At this moment, the Heavenly Master Huo, dressed in a golden robe, sat at the stone table in the Purple Smoke Cave and asked thoughtfully:

"This descendant of the Jiang family has stayed at Xuanzhen Mountain for four years. I wonder what Shangyuan Zhenren's intentions are?"

Zhang Tianyuan, dressed in a Bagua robe, poured two cups of tea, thought for a moment, and replied calmly:

"The younger generation of the Jiang family cultivates the Jade True Realm. They seem to have good talent. They have only been cultivating the sword for twenty years, yet they already possess sword intent. Perhaps the Supreme Yuan True Person took pity on their talent and allowed the Jiang family to cultivate at the Xuanzhen Mountain of the Xiuyue Sect."

"After all, the Jiang family's ancestors were outer disciples of the Yuan family, and now only he remains. This young man from the Jiang family has good talent and aspires to achieve supernatural powers, so it is only natural that True Person Shangyuan wants to give him a helping hand."

"Moreover, the Supreme Yuan Immortal also received favors from Li Jiangqun of the Yuan Mansion."

Master Tianhuo, standing to the side, picked up his teacup and drank it by himself. After a long while, he said noncommittally:

"Perhaps. Judging by the time, it's not far from the time when the Shangyuan Immortal seeks gold."

"I wonder where he will break through. It's definitely not Jiangnan. The [Xuanping Zhongfen] that Master Xiuyue worked so hard to create was disrupted by a heavy rain from Qingchi Sect. Now the spiritual atmosphere in Jiangnan is [Shang'e Lingzang]. Yuzhen is an ancient being, and he will definitely not break through under such spiritual atmosphere."

Zhang Tianyuan, who was drinking spiritual tea nearby, looked puzzled upon hearing this and said in a calm tone:

"Shangyuan has always been very arrogant. We just need to wait and see. He will choose a place to break through when the time comes."

"As for that descendant of the Jiang family, I wonder if he will be able to break through to the Purple Mansion realm this time when he goes to Xuanzhen Mountain to listen to the Dao."

Dressed in gold, Tian Huo glanced at Zhang Tianyuan, put down his teacup, and said leisurely:

"That junior has cultivated sword intent, so his temperament must be excellent. Now, after Shangyuan's guidance, his chances of breaking through to the Purple Mansion are quite high."

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light flashed in the Purple Smoke Cave, and Tian Huo departed using his supernatural powers, leaving Zhang Tianyuan alone inside the cave.

-

Zhao Guoying Huajun.

The Cave Heaven of the Immortal Lord of the Golden Age.

This grotto-heaven is vast, with rolling mountains and abundant spiritual energy, where many mortals have lived and thrived.

Wang Xun was currently cultivating at the Dongtian Immortal Temple.

Suddenly, a soft golden light flashed, and Master Jinglue, wearing a Taoist headscarf and dressed in plain clothes, appeared out of thin air in the open space in front of the temple.

Wang Xun, who had been concentrating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and hurriedly got up and walked outside the temple. Upon seeing Master Jinglue, he quickly bowed and greeted him.

"Father."

Master Jinglue nodded with a smile, speaking in a gentle tone:

"Xun'er, that young friend Jiang is about to break through. You must immediately leave the cave and take this Jade True Purple Mansion spiritual object, the [Supreme Good Bright Profound Jade], to the Milin County to fulfill the agreement."

As he spoke, he took out a jade box and handed it to Wang Xun.

Wang Xun bowed respectfully and replied:

"Yes, Xun'er obeys."
