Swordholder

The rest of the people all looked on with envy.

Everyone knows that Li Taiyi's swordsmanship is extremely sharp. If he achieves the Purple Mansion realm, he can be called a sword immortal.

Our combat power will increase significantly then!

"Thank you for your kind words. I'll go into seclusion now."

Li Taiyi clasped his hands in a fist salute, turned around, and left.

Seeing this, the others had no choice but to leave.

Zhong Yue stepped forward, chuckled, and said, "Brother Chen, let's go into seclusion together."

Chen Yuan's gaze sharpened.

Li Wei and Nuomi both looked at him warily.

Zhu Xin, standing to one side, parted her red lips slightly and said, "Hey, Lao Zhong, you don't have some weird fetish, do you? Have your eye on my little man?"

"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"

Zhong Yue spat several times, "Sister Xin, what are you thinking? I'm a real man."

Zhu Xin rolled her eyes, exuding charm, "You call yourself a real man? The way you look at Chen Yuan is practically drooling."

Chen Yuan felt a chill run down his spine. He stared at Zhong Yue warily and asked, "Big guy, what do you want to do?"

Zhong Yue rolled his eyes and explained, "We killed so many ferocious beasts, picked so many spiritual herbs and medicinal plants, and harvested so many spiritual fruits. Those powerful officials are bound to become suspicious. Someone will definitely come in the middle of the night. We need to be prepared; we can't just sit and wait to die!"

"So I need to be with you, especially those who followed us in slaying the ferocious beasts before. They all need to be with us, otherwise they might have their souls stolen, and then this matter can no longer be hidden."

Chen Yuan suddenly realized that this was indeed the case.

It would be such a waste if I didn't live to see the day when the Prince's Palace would open its furnace to refine elixirs.

You're overthinking it.

Zhu Xin parted her lips slightly and said calmly, "You've already been targeted by that Du Xuanzi."

Du Xuanzi?

Chen Yuan and Zhong Yue were taken aback.

"He is the Grand Elder of the Alchemy Pavilion in the Heavenly Kingdom, the King of Tianjiang."

Zhu Xin explained in a soft, gentle voice, "Now, all of you are his precious darlings, and he won't let anyone else touch you."

Chen Yuan and Zhong Yue exchanged a glance and instantly understood.

These people devoured so many spiritual plants and herbs, causing their cultivation to skyrocket and their physical bones and bloodlines to undergo a transformation. In the eyes of a mad alchemist, this was undoubtedly a walking, humanoid medicine.

"We still can't be careless."

Zhong Yue reminded him.

Chen Yuan nodded in agreement.

"Then my sister is with you too."

Zhu Xin said.

Chen Yuan and Zhong Yue were even more convinced; with Zhu Xin as their powerful backer, their safety was guaranteed.

So the dozen or so of them all went into seclusion in a cultivation room.

The rest of them attempted to reach the Purple Mansion Realm.

Those who have already reached the Purple Mansion Realm are consolidating their Purple Mansion Realm cultivation.

As for Chen Yuan, he wanted to break through to the Condensation Realm.

It was late at night, and all was quiet.

In the cultivation room, Chen Yuan sat cross-legged.

Chen Yuan recalled Chen Qingcang's explanation of the Purple Mansion Realm.

The Purple Mansion Realm is the core realm where cultivators progress from cultivating their spiritual power and physical body to cultivating their divine soul and origin.

Its fundamental characteristics are shaping the Purple Palace, nourishing the spirit and soul, performing celestial phenomena, transforming heaven and earth, and generating new life.

Within the seven minor realms, the transformation of each realm is a qualitative change in one's soul and inner strength!

Their combat strength, supernatural abilities, and survival skills are worlds apart.

He has already condensed a black Purple Palace and a blood-red Purple Palace within the paths of demonic cultivation and evil cultivation.

Next, he needs to break through to the second minor realm—the Concentration Realm!

The core of this realm is to allow the divine soul to condense, take form, and reside in the Purple Mansion Divine Palace!

With the protection of the Purple Palace, the soul will be more stable and safer.

At the same time, under the nurturing of the Purple Mansion Divine Palace, the soul will undergo a transformation and gain the ability to awaken spiritual consciousness.

The most obvious feature is that it can transmit sound into the ear.

Secondly, the pressure on the soul will be greatly enhanced, making it extremely intimidating!

There is another very powerful function, which is—the Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth!

Upon entering the Concentration Realm, one uses the Purple Mansion Divine Soul as the source to condense a Divine Soul Dharma Image... This allows the user to manifest a transparent Dharma Image behind them, a figure tens of thousands of feet tall, which awes all living beings in heaven and earth, greatly suppresses the enemy's Dao Heart, and enhances the power of all their own spells.

Especially after entering the Concentration Realm, a cultivator's soul will become incredibly strong and powerful, and even if their head is severed, they will not die so easily.

Even if one's soul flies away, one can still possess another body and be reborn, or become an evil spirit, or be reborn in another way, etc... In short, the power of the Condensation Realm is simply too great.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes and began to focus all his efforts on breaking through to the Condensation Realm.

In the Land of Fallen Life, he devoured a large number of spiritual seeds, as well as spiritual plants and fruits... In terms of both energy and soul, it was enough to serve as the foundation for advancing to the Condensation Realm.

……

Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Although the entire Western Frontier City was in an uproar because of what happened in the Land of Fallen Life, the Wolf Guard's garrison remained calm.

However, today, powerful fluctuations surged into the sky and spread throughout the base!

Vaguely visible were the phantom images of purple, black, or red palaces, a truly magnificent sight!

This fluctuation attracted the attention of many powerful figures, and thus, figures with vast and unparalleled auras appeared in the sky above this enormous mansion.

"Another human prodigy has condensed his Purple Mansion and become a master of the Opening Mansion Realm."

"It's only been half a month, and they've already made such rapid progress?"

"They didn't rely solely on the Purple Mansion Pill, did they? Could they have obtained some great fortune in the Land of Fatal Demise?"

"Could they have been responsible for the deaths of most of the ferocious beasts inside?"

"Also, most of the spiritual plants and fruits were looted; could they have eaten them too?"

……

Their voices emanated a chilling intensity, filled with boundless rage.

These words were clearly a question directed at one of the gray-robed elders, who was none other than Bai Ze.

Bai Ze remained silent for a moment before finally speaking, "Thanks to Your Highness's great fortune, this batch of humanoid medicinal herbs is of superior quality and has unlimited potential. Congratulations!"

Bai Ze's words were undoubtedly meant to explain that the extraordinary talents of these human prodigies below were due to their own strength, not because they had eaten any spiritual herbs or fruits!

Then, Bai Ze turned the conversation to one of the white-haired elders, "Elder Du, wouldn't you agree?"

"After you receive this batch of humanoid elixirs, won't the Dao Platform Pills you refine be of even higher quality?"

Elder Du Xuanzi of the Alchemy Pavilion was also present. Upon hearing this, he nodded slightly, "Not a single one can be missing. If they all go into the furnace, a Saint-grade alchemy is guaranteed!"

Guaranteed top-tier item!

Du Xuanzi emphasized these four words extremely heavily.

Upon hearing this, everyone was greatly shocked!

They had already guessed that these human prodigies must have consumed a lot of spiritual plants and medicines, and even some spiritual seeds, in the Land of Fallen Life!

But now, Bai Ze and Du Xuanzi's words made them afraid to touch these people in front of them.

Du Xuanzi has already guaranteed that the Daotai Pill he refines for the King of Tianjiang will be at least a Saint-grade pill.

He also meant that none of these humanoid medicines could be missing!

What does this mean?

This means you cannot touch these people in front of you.

All the powerful figures turned grim, especially the members of the Feng family.

……

Meanwhile, inside the camp, Zhu Xin, Zhong Yue, Li Wei, Nuomi, and others finished their cultivation and came to Chen Yuan's cultivation room.

"how?"

Zhu Xin parted her red lips slightly and looked at Zhong Yue to the side.

Zhong Yue was burly and rugged in appearance, but he was actually quite shrewd. "Hehe, why don't you just open the door and take a look, Sister Xin?"

Zhu Xin's eyes sparkled, she smiled charmingly, and slowly stepped forward, gently pushing open the door.

Zhong Yue glanced at Li Wei and Nuomi and saw that they didn't stop him. He then made a decision: Chen Yuan inside must have finished his cultivation.

As the door opened, everyone excitedly peered inside.

Chen Yuan sat cross-legged on a futon, his eyes closed, his breathing steady, exuding a peaceful aura.

"Did he break through?"

Li Taiyi, carrying a sword and dressed in white, asked curiously.
