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

Xue Shazi and Lu Yao exchanged a glance.

The two of them followed Hong Fu all the way to the Spirit Realm. Having witnessed the battle just now, their hearts were already half-shaken.

It turns out that in this upper realm, cultivators at the Void Refinement stage are nothing more than disciples with slightly better aptitude within a sect.

If he were to run into another cultivator outside, he would likely be killed and have his treasures stolen in the blink of an eye.

Without the presence of Master Hongfu, a powerful cultivator at the Integration Realm, the two of them would have found it difficult to establish themselves in the sect alone, without any support or assistance.

She came up with Hong Fu.

Then we must see it through to the end.

Blood Fiend was the first to clasp his hands in a fist salute.

"We two have followed our predecessors here."

"Of course, it's up to you, senior."

Lu Yao also curtsied, her slender figure beneath the gray robe bowing slightly.

"We two are sticking with you, senior."

The corners of Hongfu Shangren's lips curved into a smile, and she nodded.

She turned to the demonic cultivator.

"If that's the case..."

"Then I will trouble you, fellow Daoist."

She raised her chin.

"Lead the way."

The monk laughed loudly and leaped up.

Several streaks of light disappeared into the depths of that inky black mountain range.

The celestial mist of the spirit realm closed up again, completely concealing any trace of the valley entrance.

...

The sea of ​​clouds surged, and the glazed tile roof of Luoyan City shimmered with a soft halo under the sunlight.

The city is now far more magnificent than it was three months ago.

With its flying eaves and bracket sets, towering buildings and overlapping peaks, it already hints at the grandeur of the number one sect in the human realm.

Inside the temple.

Wang Yuyan had just finished explaining the whole story of her trip to Qingzhou.

A petite figure rushed over and hugged her waist.

"Sister Yu Yan!"

Li Tianqi's voice was trembling with tears.

"Sister Yuyan has suffered."

She looked up, her large, almond-shaped eyes filled with heartache.

"Thank goodness my husband went to fetch you, otherwise what would I have done?"

Wang Yuyan raised her hand and gently stroked the top of her head.

"Silly girl."

"Isn't my sister perfectly fine?"

Su Chen stood in the center of the hall, watching the two women's intimate moment without making a sound to interrupt.

After a long pause, he finally spoke.

"Where's Wanwan?"

Li Tianqi peeked out from Wang Yuyan's arms.

"Sister Wanwan."

She blinked.

"I wonder what kind of cultivation technique Sister Wanwan has practiced, given her exceptionally good talent."

"Now, I have reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm and reached the Great Perfection."

Su Chen's eyelids twitched.

She said she was going into seclusion.

Li Tianqi counted on her fingers.

"So I had someone clear out the main hall where my grandfather used to meditate."

"She went in and hasn't come out yet."

Su Chen's expression darkened.

The Great Perfection of the Late Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Lin Wanwan's talent is truly extraordinary.

In such a short time, he has made such great progress.

She was practicing the ancient cultivation technique that Master Hongfu had given to her and Li Tianqi.

Su Chen knew exactly what was going on.

With Lin Wanwan's talent and this ancient technique, she is very likely to break through to the Void Refinement stage within a hundred years.

A hundred years is too long.

Three years later, he will leave Luoyan City.

At that time, his great-grandfather, Li Ziran, will most likely accompany him to the Upper Realm.

The city of Luoyan is insignificant in itself.

But this city is incomplete without a Void Refinement cultivator in charge.

How could anyone feel at ease with his Daoist partners?

and so.

He must speak with Lin Wanwan as soon as possible.

Of these people, Lin Wanwan is the most likely to break through to the Void Refinement Realm within three years.

Let's see if we can find a way to help her.

Su Chen turned around.

"I'll go check on her."

Wang Yuyan raised her hand, as if to stop her.

"But...isn't she in seclusion right now?"

Her fingertips hovered in mid-air.

"If we rush in at this time and disturb her peace of mind..."

"It's alright."

Su Chen waved his hand and took a step forward.

"Everything will be alright."

...

Layers of restrictions spread outwards from the entrance of the main hall.

The palace doors were tightly closed, and a thin layer of dust covered the bluestone floor tiles in front of them.

A powerful spiritual force continuously converged from within the hall towards one point.

The spiritual energy was so dense that it almost solidified, flowing silently between the beams and pillars of the palace.

The deepest part of the main hall.

A prayer mat rests quietly in the center of the earth.

A female nun sat cross-legged on it.

The female cultivator wore a plain-colored gauze dress, her fair feet curled up beneath the hem.

She was drenched in fragrant sweat, her thin gauze skirt revealing her exquisite style.

Even so, this was once the Holy Maiden of the Tai Xuan Sect.

He looked disheveled and was panting.

If Su Chen were here...

For some reason, Su Chen's violent spiritual power entered my body back in Qingzhou.

A scene of wantonly conquering oneself.

It's surprising that they keep emerging at this moment.

Why did I think of those things...?

Suddenly, he realized that his cultivation level was improving with each passing moment.

They can't do without Su Chen's influence.

The subsequent major advancements were actually achieved through dual cultivation with Su Chen.

With Su Chen's extremely domineering spiritual power, he broke through the barriers within his body.

Her usually aloof face was tense at this moment, her eyes were closed, and her brows were furrowed into a deep frown.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth flowed into her body from all directions.

It surged and crashed through her meridians, causing even her vital spiritual center to tremble slightly.

A Nascent Soul cultivator wants to advance to the Void Refinement stage.

It's as difficult as climbing to heaven.

It seems that what those ancient scrolls said was absolutely true.

Unless there is a special opportunity.

Even with this ancient cultivation technique by his side, it would be difficult to break through the insurmountable barrier between the Nascent Soul and Void Refinement stages.

How ridiculous! Do you think I can rely on my qualifications as the Holy Maiden of the Tai Xuan Sect without cultivating with that silent fellow?

Is it really impossible to break through to the Void Refinement stage?

Before Su Chen returned, Li Ziran had actually passed by this place several times.

If Luoyan City were to gain another Void Refinement cultivator...

boom....

The barrier trembled violently.

In that instant, the candlelight dimmed and the spiritual energy dissipated.

Her delicate body twisted in agony, the pain unbearable...

Lin Wanwan let out a muffled groan...

In the end, it still failed.

His body was curled up, and he was breathing weakly.

So pathetic, so utterly pathetic...

The spiritual energy that had gathered in the hall for so long dissipated inch by inch as her cultivation stopped.

No matter how mysterious that ancient method is.

There was no such sliver of opportunity.

Even at the late-stage Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul realm, he was ultimately barred from the Void Refinement realm.

Lin Wanwan slowly opened her eyes...

I felt as if I saw a familiar figure standing in front of me, looking so disheveled.

A silent, unassuming person?

Is it a hallucination...?

"Wanwan."

Su Chen frowned at this moment.

I just arrived and only glanced at it.

It became clear that Lin Wanwan was forcibly breaking through common sense.

But that's easier said than done.

Such a breakthrough would be impossible in less than a hundred or a thousand years.

"It seems so."

"You have already pushed this ancient technique to its limit."

Su Chen shook his head.

Back then, beneath the Sword Abyss, the two obtained this ancient cultivator's technique.

It can be described as an immense opportunity.

At that time, Hong Fu taught the two the method, and later the two comprehended a unique dual cultivation technique through the middle volume.

But to break through to the Void Refinement stage, she might really need my help.

"You taciturn fellow, you've come at the worst possible time."

"You always manage to catch me in this disheveled state..."

...
