After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

Let's see if Shi Yan is some kind of lost daughter of the Taiyi Sect.

Donghuang Li would never have imagined that the [Blazing Sun Judgment] was something Shi Yan had just extracted from her using [Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon].

Aside from the fact that Shi Yan's most desired [Eight Hundred Thunder Hells] had not yet been extracted from Donghuang Li.

Many of Donghuang Li's techniques have been stolen by Shi Yan.

It doesn't matter—

Anyway, Master Yan said that the Taiyi Sect is one family.

He was swaying unsteadily, and Shi Yan's hands were trembling uncontrollably.

Forcing her to use the power of the Enlightenment Realm was still too much of a strain for her... no, it was too suicidal.

But how could I miss the teacher's words?

An opportunity for a perfect soul to appear before you.

You only get one chance.

Shi Yan thought to herself... She can even wield the power of the [Happy Heaven], so what if she has the power of a Dao Enlightenment Realm expert?

But it is quite obvious.

Shi Yan still underestimated this power.

Her body swayed precariously, almost breaking apart.

Shi Yan could only avoid kneeling on the ground with the help of Donghuang Li.

The flock of blue pheasants behind the two continued to linger, but dared not approach due to the aftershocks of the power of the light and flames.

The teacher's mouth was dry, and at this moment his body was trembling so much that he seemed unable to walk.

She continued her recovery.

The light gradually faded.

That light seemed to split the heavens and earth in two, and everything behind Huang Ying was burned to ashes.

The space in front of Shi Yan and Donghuang Li seemed to become distorted and strange.

It's like ripples spreading across the surface.

Under Shi Yan's guidance, Donghuang Li helped Shi Yan walk towards Lianyi.

As they passed the spot where the golden hawk had disappeared, Shi Yan gently reached out his hand.

A piece of jade, entirely topaz with a ring of beautiful crimson around its edge, landed in her hand.

"This is..."

“Spiritual essence—” Shi Yan explained to the girl.

"Materials used to break through realms."

Donghuang Li helped Shi Yan up, and Shi Yan opened his character attribute panel with the slightest movement.

My health points have been reduced by one-third.

There is a very obvious weak icon on the character's status bar.

In the log—

You've found the Yellow Falcon...

[Entering the battle phase.]

[You used the "Ring of the Eastern Lord," an exception.]

【The yellow falcon has been defeated by you.】

[You have gained cultivation, you have obtained the "Yellow Falcon Spirit Soul"...]

【…】

That's roughly it.

Clean and efficient.

The yellow eagle probably couldn't figure it out even if it racked its brains.

I'm supposed to be the final boss of a 'random dungeon', so how come I was killed before my entrance animation even finished?

I got up.

I was instantly killed.

What's there to say?

Shi Yan placed the [Yellow Falcon Spirit] on it.

Once you break through to the next major realm, most of your injuries will be healed.

The [Cloud Core Realm Ninth Rank (Breakthrough in Progress)] that had been stuck on Shi Yan for so long finally moved.

Shi Yan could feel crackling sounds coming from inside his Purple Mansion.

She would normally have no chance of breaking through in a place like this.

But... Shi Yan looked at his reddened health bar.

She had no choice.

I desperately need to make a breakthrough right now, and give myself a boost.

After all... what if that girl who looks similar to Jun Qianrou but has Xiaxia's figure and Hua Xiangrong's height is lying to her?

Having broken through Huang Yu's blockade, what should they do if they and Donghuang Li are trapped in the Loulan Tomb instead of escaping alive?

She said that before.

This street is a derivative of the passageway of the Loulan Tomb.

It wouldn't be surprising to jump directly into the Loulan Tomb from here.

The most perfect lie is one that is entirely true, but with certain key elements removed or hidden.

She might not have lied to herself about the fact that this street was the passageway to the Loulan tombs.

But what happens if you leave through this crack...?

The teacher said that one must be fully prepared.

Stepping into the ripples, Shi Yan felt as if he had crossed some kind of imperceptible membrane.

She's gotten used to this feeling.

This is the feeling that comes from traversing space.

The surrounding streets suddenly became bustling with activity, with the silk shop and tea shop right next door.

While it wasn't exactly bustling with people, it wasn't eerily gloomy and secluded either.

Donghuang Li helped Shi Yan walk towards their room at the inn.

Shi Yan looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the road and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She carefully put away the blue lantern.

Shi Yan continued to sense his Purple Mansion.

After I put the [Yellow Falcon Spirit] into the breakthrough slot, my Purple Mansion began to undergo some subtle changes.

Back at the inn, I went straight to Donghuang Li's room.

Shi Yan refused Donghuang Li's request to take care of her and help her bathe and change clothes.

She focused all her attention on the Purple Mansion.

Master Yan looked inward at his own Purple Mansion.

At the same time, he opened his character attribute panel.

Around his own Purple Mansion, rings of stars resembled ribbons of light from the Milky Way.

And at the very center of his Purple Mansion... was that cloud pill that was anything but perfectly round.

Compared to other people's golden cores, which are round and smooth, golden and shiny, and even have strange beasts coiled around them, this is not as good.

Shi Yan always felt that his 'golden elixir' was going to be quite inferior.

This situation continued until Shi Yan broke through to the Cloud Core Realm, where the 'Golden Core' gradually transformed, peeling away its mottled outer shell and sculpting itself into something resembling a small house.

But right now... Shi Yan was hearing a clicking sound that didn't actually exist.

Watching his cloud-like buds gradually rise, becoming as if 'towering into the clouds'.

However... the exquisite eaves and brackets, and Yun Dan's gradually solemn and dignified appearance, made Shi Yan realize something.

Others break through the Golden Core stage to cultivate the Nascent Soul stage.

I'm afraid I really need to break through the Cloud Pill to repair the Crystal Palace.

Shi Yan looked at his character attribute panel.

You have used "Yellow Falcon Spirit".

Your cultivation level has changed.

You have broken through to the first level of the Jade Palace Realm.

Your condition has been restored.

You have obtained a new "fate-defying" ability.

【…】

Trembling, Shi Yan looked at the building on the backdrop of his cultivation breakthrough, which resembled the Thirty-Three Swords Pavilion but was even more magnificent.

Oh no...

Shi Yan seemed to already see the adult version of Hua Xiangrong lying beside him, her fingertips drawing circles on his Zifu area.

Then came the scene of him having to pay for her house.

This is so strange.
