After clearing the level, the fairies were reborn!

It's all that guy surnamed Bai's fault. He actually used such an incredible cultivation method as 'data cable transmission,' which led to Xu Ze and her 'connection' becoming more frequent. He even hated himself for not being a demon.

Just as the two girls were talking quietly.

Within Xu Ze's body, the surge in spiritual power reached its peak.

It is different from the tribulation that occurs when one breaks through the elixir and enters the infant stage.

This time, a cyan glow spread across the sky, covering the vast expanse.

That was the color of a pure and flawless spiritual root.

That's exactly the color of Xu Ze's [Sword Spirit Root]!

"Heaven and earth merge with the primordial spirit, and the spiritual root and the sky are of one color."

"I will never enter the cycle of reincarnation again, but will merge with the five elements, so that my physical body will be indestructible and my soul immortal..."

His breakthrough was without any bottlenecks; everything happened naturally.

Just like when he first formed his nascent soul, he used the Dharma form with unparalleled skill.

All of this was thanks to the key item for clearing the first dungeon, the [Lanbo Maru].

This elixir had already allowed him to experience the power of becoming a god in advance, so for him now, the path to the Great Dao, which should have been arduous, was smooth sailing.

……

For three whole days.

The light rain in Donghua City had been falling for three days, pattering on the green tiles like pearls falling onto a jade plate.

As dawn broke, the rain gradually subsided, leaving only the sound of dripping water from the eaves, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of earth and osmanthus blossoms.

On this day, at dawn, the rosy light suddenly vanished, and all the strange phenomena disappeared instantly.

Xu Ze opened his eyes and swallowed a "Concentrating Spirit and Gathering Essence Pill" that he had prepared in advance to consolidate his cultivation.

Xu Ze walked out slowly, his blue robe fluttering without wind, his aura extremely restrained, yet giving people a sense of profound and imposing weight.

His eyes shone with a divine light, as if the sun, moon, and stars were born and died within them.

"Congratulations, Master!"

"Brother, you're amazing!"

Bai Yuxi and Mu Qinghe stepped forward at the same time, their faces filled with undisguised joy.

Xu Ze looked at the two of them and smiled slightly.

Although cultivators become immune to heat and cold after condensing their golden core, they still enjoy the different sensations brought by the changing seasons.

At this moment, the coolness after the autumn rain swept away the slight fatigue brought on by the continuous training.

Tomorrow will be the eighth day of the ninth lunar month.

He looked up towards the north, his deep eyes filled with unwavering confidence.

Outside the door, the cultivators who sensed the aura of the Nascent Soul stage all showed surprise and delight. Led by the old city lord, they brought gifts to offer their congratulations.

"Congratulations, Immortal Xu! At such a young age, a Nascent Soul sword cultivator has given birth to another peerless genius who can rival the world!"

"You flatter me, City Lord," Xu Ze replied with a smile.

Strictly speaking, he is a Southerner.

The old city lord was still grinning from ear to ear: "Now, in terms of strength, you are my senior. Let's address each other as fellow Daoists!"

After receiving the guests.

Outside Donghua City, within the already nascent Xuanling Sect, several figures flew in.

"Sect Master, in the past three days, hundreds more cultivators have been attracted by your breakthrough phenomenon. This is the selection list; please take a look..."

The rebuilt Xuanling Sect has gotten back on track recently, and because of its reputation and Xu Ze, countless people are flocking to it.

With the help of the old city lord, Xu Ze arranged various positions and established elders, protectors, and deacons. With the joint efforts of many Nascent Soul cultivators, everything was in good order.

"Very good, hard work."

Xu Ze nodded in satisfaction. "I may not be in Donghua City for the next few days. I will leave the affairs of the sect, both big and small, to you all to decide."

"Yes." The elders withdrew together.

They had already heard that Sect Leader Xu was about to do something earth-shattering.

……

The far north.

In Flying Snow Valley.

A middle-aged woman opened her eyes.

Like her, all the Void Refinement stage cultivators in this far north, from the early to the late stages, sensed Xu Ze's breakthrough.

After all, that extraordinary phenomenon was truly breathtaking and astonishing.

They couldn't believe that the gap between cultivators on the same Tianyuan Continent could be so vast!

This led them, either out of pride or to save face, to not go to Donghua City to offer their congratulations.

"In this Northern Continent, it is generally acknowledged that the further north you go, the stronger you become."

"Unexpectedly, a true god has emerged in Donghua City today."

Only the Valley Master of Flying Snow, a peak Void Refinement stage cultivator, let out a soft sigh.

To this day, no one knows where Xu Ze came from.

—The [Immortal Concealment Talisman] is still working.

Since they couldn't find anything, they tacitly accepted the identities of this Sect Master Xu and the City Lord.

After all, who would dare to disagree?

He can kill a Nascent Soul cultivator like it's nothing, and now he's even broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. Just how strong has he become?

As for the combat strength of Nascent Soul sword cultivators... you can refer to the strength of the Ding family's female sword immortal; they have all seen it clearly.

With a single sword strike, he slew ten Void Refinement Stage Corpse Kings!

This one not only possesses sword intent, but also a pure-colored sword spirit root. His terrifying Dharma form is even rumored to have an innate Dao body.

After Xu Ze was born, no young cultivator in Beiju Luzhou, whether they were Nascent Soul or Golden Core cultivators, dared to call themselves "prodigies" anymore.

Compared to others, how dare you call yourself a genius?

Even the Valley Master of Flying Snow, a 'decision-maker' of the four great immortal sects.

They all felt overshadowed by Xu Ze's brilliance, almost unable to lift their heads.

They didn't even dare to think about how much of a chance they would have against Xu Ze if they were to face him with their Void Refinement stage cultivation.

Like her, dozens of cultivators in the Void Refinement stage in the far north, from the early to the late stages, all felt that earth-shaking fluctuation.

The extraordinary phenomenon during the breakthrough was so astonishing that it alarmed many old monsters who had been in seclusion for many years, who all released their divine senses to investigate.

Then came a long silence.

"Who is he?"

As the Valley Master of Flying Snow was pondering, he suddenly raised an eyebrow.

She sensed spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from another cave within the sect.

That's a sign of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

"Hmm? This aura is... Frost?"

She was somewhat surprised.

Qing Shuang, a direct disciple of Feixue Valley, is at the late Golden Core stage and cultivates the Path of Ruthlessness just like me. She hasn't even overcome the tribulation of inner demons.

Logically speaking, it should take at least several more years of refinement before attempting to form a nascent soul.

How did you suddenly break through?

Incredibly, the Valley Master of Flying Snow vanished from the quiet room in a flash.

The next moment, she appeared atop an ice peak.

Not far ahead, the stone gate of a cave dwelling opened.

A young woman dressed in white stepped out. Her spiritual energy was chaotic, indicating that she had just broken through to a higher realm and her power was not yet stable.

"Qing Shuang," the Valley Master of Flying Snow called out.

Fairy Qing Shuang looked up upon hearing the voice, saw the Valley Master, and quickly bowed, saying, "Disciple greets Master."

"No need for formalities." The Valley Master of Flying Snow sized her up, his brows furrowing slightly. "I'm asking you, how did you achieve Nascent Soul formation ahead of schedule?"

Fairy Qing Shuang bit her lip and whispered, "When I was meditating, I had a feeling, so..."

"What are you visualizing?" The Valley Master of Flying Snow immediately sensed something was wrong and pressed for an answer.

“Yes…” Fairy Qing Shuang’s face flushed an unnatural red, her voice barely audible, “It was that Sect Master Xu from Donghua City. Three days ago, when he broke through to a higher realm, I happened to glimpse a wisp of sword intent, and then… I used it as the object of my meditation…”

She didn't dare to talk about what she had experienced in the Mysterious Spirit Realm.

She didn't dare say that since returning to the sect, day and night, her mind was filled with the image of Xu Ze facing mountains of corpses and seas of blood alone.

Fairy Qing Shuang's pure heart was already in turmoil and could no longer find peace.

Therefore, her only solution was to use Xu Ze as an object of contemplation.

From then on, Xu Ze broke through his cultivation level and rose rapidly in rank. She was also able to glimpse a trace of the essence of heaven and earth under his afterglow.

If Xu Ze were to perish, she would also become a cripple...

"This is utter nonsense!!"

Upon hearing this...

The Valley Master of Flying Snow's expression changed drastically, and his voice suddenly turned cold:

"The true cultivation method of my Flying Snow Valley is the path of ruthlessness, yet you use a man of the opposite sex as the object of your meditation. Are you trying to destroy your own foundation?!"

Upon hearing her master's scolding, Fairy Qing Shuang knelt down with a thud, her face turning deathly pale.
