After clearing the level, the fairies were reborn!

A wisp of spiritual energy surged from her palm and entered her body.

That restless power immediately pounced over, like a hungry wolf, wanting to devour his spiritual energy.

However, Xu Ze's spiritual power was too strong, so strong that the other force couldn't get close at all.

It was forced back, suppressed, and locked away in the depths of the dantian for a fleeting moment.

His body trembled violently in an instant.

She could feel that the force that had been tormenting her had finally subsided.

Like a tamed wild beast, it huddled in a corner, afraid to move.

“You’ve been too lenient with it.” Xu Ze withdrew his hand. “That power isn’t your enemy; it’s your partner.”

"You can't suppress it, nor can you indulge it; what you need to do is guide it and make it a part of you."

She looked up at Xu Ze, her icy blue eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Sect Master, can...can I do it?"

Xu Ze looked at her, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"can."

Suddenly, my eyes started to sting.

She lowered her head, not wanting Xu Ze to see her tears.

Xu Ze nodded and turned to walk towards the training ground.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped.

"Remember, a fleeting moment."

"You're able to stay here not because you lost to me, but because... I acknowledge you."

He then continued on his way.

Tears fell instantly.

She stood by the waterfall, letting her tears slide down her cheeks, mingling with the water, making it impossible to distinguish between the water and the tears.

"Thank you."

……

When Xu Ze returned to the training ground, Fairy Qing Shuang was still practicing her sword.

Her sword energy had already condensed to twenty zhang, a further improvement from before.

She didn't notice Xu Ze's return; she was lost in her own world, swinging her sword repeatedly, her Taoist robe soaked with sweat, but she was completely unaware.

Xu Ze did not disturb her.

He walked to the edge of the training ground, sat down on a rock, closed his eyes, and focused his inner energy on his dantian.

"Buzz-"

Inside the dantian, the three innate spiritual treasures were arranged in a triangle, echoing each other and emitting a deep hum.

The buzzing sound was clearer than before, but he still couldn't understand it.

He tried to perceive and interpret the information with his divine sense, but the information was like looking through a veil, blurry and unclear.

Suddenly.

Xu Ze remembered what Lin Yueyan had said.

"—Most of your magical artifacts have been recovered; be sure not to forget to use them."

How can I use it?

What are we going to do with them?

he does not know.

Just then, the surrounding scenery began to blur.

It's not that my eyes are blurry, but that the world is blurry.

The martial arts arena disappeared, Qingyun Peak disappeared, and Beiju Luzhou disappeared.

Instead, there was only a vast, white void.

Xu Ze stood in the void, looking ahead.

he knows.

This is the space built by the 'system'.

There, a curtain of light slowly unfolded.

Like a painting, like a movie.

Congratulations on achieving the core achievement: The True Sovereign!

[Host has successfully completed the dungeon: Savage Demon Realm.]

……

The image shows a mountain.

The mountain is not high, but it is strangely rugged, with jagged rocks and gnarled old trees.

There is a huge rock halfway up the mountain, on which are carved three large characters: "Xuanling Sect".

The handwriting is vigorous and powerful, with sharp strokes like knives, carrying a sense of solemnity and killing intent.

A young girl stood in front of the mountain gate, looking up at the three large characters with her eyes full of longing.

She wore a moon-white long dress, her long hair was draped over her shoulders, her face was exquisitely beautiful, and there was still a hint of childishness in her eyes.

It was Lin Yueyan, who had just embarked on the path of cultivation.

"Senior brother," she began, her voice as clear as a mountain spring, "tell me, what is the highest realm in this world?"

A young man emerged from behind the mountain gate, wearing a blue Taoist robe and with a long sword hanging at his waist.

His face was calm, his eyes gentle, and a faint smile played at the corners of his mouth.

This person was Xu Ze.

Or rather, it was Xu Ze from ten thousand years ago.

"The Mahayana period".

He walked to Lin Yueyan's side, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked at the gray sky. "The highest realm in this world is the Mahayana stage."

This is what their master told them.

It is also the 'setting' of this world and this game.

Hearing this, Lin Yueyan's eyes lit up.

"Mahayana stage... then senior brother, when will you reach the Mahayana stage?"

Xu Ze smiled and affectionately patted her head:

"I have a long way to go."

"Will I be able to get there in the future?"

Lin Yueyan turned her head and looked at him, her eyes full of expectation.

Xu Ze looked at her and remained silent for a moment.

"It's possible."

"Really?"

"Ah."

Xu Ze nodded and said with certainty, "As long as you keep going, one day you will reach that 'peak'."

Lin Yueyan smiled.

That smile was radiant, as radiant as spring flowers, as radiant as the summer sun.

She reached out and hooked her little finger around Xu Ze's little finger.

"It's settled then. Senior brother will go first, and Yueyue will arrive shortly after."

Xu Ze looked at her, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"it is good."

The image gradually blurred and faded away.

Xu Ze stood in the void, watching the dissipating images, watching the smiling girl, and the young man who had promised her.

A bitter feeling welled up in my heart that I couldn't quite explain.

Mahayana period.

The highest realm in this world is clearly the 'Mahayana stage'.

But why is there an Ascension Realm?

Why is there a Heavenly Court?

And why are there those high and mighty beings?

What exactly are the so-called "Ascension Realm" and the so-called "Immortal Realm"?

Xu Ze then recalled what Lin Yueyan had said.

Ascension is a scam.

He also recalled the look in Mu Yan's eyes when she was dragged away by the golden chains, and the condescending gaze of the man in white.

All of this is shrouded in mystery.

At this moment, Xu Ze was like an unknown person who knew nothing.
