Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

A gentle breeze blows, and above the sea of ​​clouds, buildings stand in rows.

The Venerable Hongfu was reclining on a jade couch.

"You little brat."

"It's only been a short time."

"Early stage of Void Refinement?"

"This progress."

"Back in my day, I might not have been faster than you."

Master Hongfu propped himself up halfway on the couch.

Su Chen gave an awkward laugh.

From the moment he stepped into the Void Refinement stage, Su Chen figured out one thing.

The Refinement of Emptiness is completely different from the previous realms.

Whether it's the Golden Core stage, the Nascent Soul stage, or even the Deity Transformation stage, one must cultivate diligently for decades or even centuries.

Absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can always improve one's cultivation level.

However, one cannot achieve the goal of refining emptiness.

The spiritual energy in this world is far from enough to allow a cultivator in the Void Refinement stage to improve their cultivation.

If it weren't for an extraordinary stroke of luck.

There is no possibility of further advancement for cultivators at the Void Refinement stage.

Thinking about it that way...

Before me lay reclining on the couch, the Venerable Hongfu, who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old.

How incredibly powerful is that!

Jiang Shiyu, standing to the side, didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Even if she is the Holy Maiden of the Starry Sky Dao Sect.

But when faced with someone like Master Hongfu, they dared not utter a single extra word.

It was quite a sight to see Master Hongfu and Su Chen chatting away so casually.

I was stunned.

This Su Chen has a close relationship with Master Hong Fu.

It's probably very deep...

"Speaking of which..."

"You little brat, come back and see me again."

Empty-handed!!!

"Don't think I don't know."

Master Hongfu withdrew her foot from the edge of the couch and sat up cross-legged.

"The box of pastries from the Sword Abyss last time."

"That's not what you wanted either."

"It was your Daoist partner, that little girl named Lin Wanwan, who prepared it for you."

After saying this, Su Chen felt awkward.

"Your senior is wise."

"There's nothing I can do about it."

"With your profound knowledge and experience, I could turn the entire storeroom upside down."

"I can't find a single item that would meet your standards."

"Instead of letting vulgar things sully your eyes."

"It would be better to go empty-handed; it would make the younger generation seem more honest."

That was some really smooth flattery.

Master Hongfu was amused by him.

"loquacious."

"Do you think I don't know your little schemes?"

"You barged in like that."

"Why make such a big fuss?"

"It's just that you're thinking about it."

"That scroll contains the lower volume of the ancient cultivator's technique."

Before Su Chen could even bring it up, Master Hongfu brought it up herself.

Su Chen stopped hiding it.

"Nothing can be hidden from you, senior."

Who couldn't recognize the tone of Master Hongfu's words?

If we were going to turn against each other, we would have done so already.

Obviously, they wouldn't fall out with a junior like Su Chen.

It's not like they'd deny it altogether.

After all, someone of such status carries immense weight and cannot afford to lose face because of Su Chen.

Master Hongfu didn't beat around the bush.

"The solution is, of course, possible."

"I, Hong Fu, am not the kind of person who goes back on her word."

"but."

I want you.

"Join my ranks."

"Hundreds of years later."

"Let's fight against the Heavenly Dao once again."

"On behalf of the cultivators in this world."

"To carve out a path to ascension to the spirit world."

There was a moment of silence in the attic.

The jade bell on the eaves jingled once more.

Su Chen lowered his eyelids.

In his heart, however, he sneered.

Battle against Heaven's Way.

To pave the way for cultivators in this world to ascend to immortality.

That sounds nice.

Su Chen has lived for so many years.

I have seen at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, cultivators.

Su Chen knew all too well what the path of cultivating immortality was like.

Whether it's the Golden Core or the Nascent Soul.

Which one of them didn't climb up step by step by step over the corpses of others and seize their opportunities?

They reached the stage of refining emptiness and then the stage of merging the body.

That cruelty will only intensify.

What do you mean by paving the way for all cultivators in the world?

Most likely, it was this Master Hongfu who wanted to ascend to the Spirit Realm.

They're just looking for a righteous and righteous facade.

She is now the number one figure on the Xuanhuang Continent.

She wants to ascend to heaven.

Among all the cultivators on this continent, who would dare not carry her sedan chair?

Su Chen understood.

I had no choice.

The current situation.

A newly awakened cultivator in the early stages of the Void Refinement realm, whose foundation is not yet stable.

Standing before a powerful being who has reached the combined realm.

For Master Hongfu, crushing himself would be as effortless as crushing an ant.

"younger generation."

Su Chen took a breath.

"I am willing to follow your orders, senior."

Master Hongfu nodded in satisfaction.

The gloomy expression on his face relaxed again.

"happy."

She slumped back onto the couch.

The bare foot dangled back onto the edge of the bed, swinging restlessly.

"Since you've agreed..."

"There are some old stories."

"It's time you learned your lesson."

Su Chen was stunned for a moment.

He never expected that Master Hongfu would be willing to tell him these things.

"Take this place as my sacred space."

The Venerable Hongfu gazed at the surging sea of ​​clouds outside the pavilion, her eyes drifting far away.

"Why is it suppressed beneath the Sword Abyss of the Tai Xuan Sect on the Qingzhou Continent?"

Su Chen shook his head.

He had been curious about this for a long time.

"A thousand years ago."

The voice of Master Hongfu slowed down.

"Me, and another fellow Daoist from Xingluo."

"I have received an incredible opportunity."

"Shuangshuang has entered the Fusion Realm."

"Back then."

The corners of Hongfu Shangren's mouth curled up slightly.

"This entire Xuanhuang Continent."

"It's all about the two of us."

Su Chen listened quietly.

"So what if we can combine?"

Master Hongfu smiled self-deprecatingly.

"It's exactly the same thing I told you."

"Whether it's refining the void or merging the body."

"The spiritual energy in this lower realm can no longer sustain us."

"I know it in my heart."

"I want to take it a step further."

"The only way is to ascend to the Spirit Realm."

Master Hongfu paused.

"So, I went with that fellow Daoist."

"Combining the strength of both of them."

"To forcefully confront that Heavenly Dao."

"I want to carve out a passage for ascension."

Su Chen frowned.

He vaguely sensed that something was amiss.

"aisle."

The voice of Master Hongfu turned cold.

"It's open."

"But the two of us made a huge mistake."

"Cultivators from the lower realms ascend to the spirit realm."

"That's to get a share of the spoils in the Spirit Division Realm."

"We're going to seize the resources of the upper realm cultivators."

"Those powerful beings in the upper realm."

"How could they possibly tolerate us?"

Su Chen's heart sank.

"One."

The fingertips of the Red-Robed Immortal gently tapped on the jade couch.

"A cultivator in the Mahayana stage."

"They have descended upon the Xuanhuang Continent."

Mahayana Buddhism.

Su Chen's tongue felt a little stiff.

Above the union is Mahayana.

What an existence that is!

"That battle."

The eyes of the Red-Robed Immortal darkened.

"My fellow Daoist from Xingluo."

"In front of that Mahayana cultivator."

"He couldn't even withstand a single move."

"Just like that, I was met with a single glance."

"Eliminated."

"Not even a trace of his soul remained."

Silence fell again in the attic.

Su Chen swallowed.

"And me."

Master Hongfu picked up a strand of her hair that had fallen down.

"Luck is better now."

"They weren't wiped out."

"But that Mahayana cultivator placed a restriction on it."

"It was imprisoned beneath the Sword Abyss of the Tai Xuan Sect in Qingzhou."

"This town."

"That's a thousand years."
