Suddenly, seeing the breathtakingly beautiful face before him, Xiao Lingchen felt as if his heart skipped a beat.

  He even had an impulse to lean in for a kiss.

  However, Jiang Luoxian didn't give him the chance.

  It seemed Jiang Luoxian also noticed the closeness between them. After a faint blush appeared on her face, she took a step back.

  Xiao Lingchen felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.

  Then he answered earnestly:

  "Disciple merely thinks that Master is incredibly beautiful, and wonders which man with great fortune will become your Dao companion in the future."

  Hearing Xiao Lingchen's straightforward words, Jiang Luoxian could no longer hide her emotions, her cheeks turning as red as peach blossoms.

  In that instant, it was as if the glaciers melted, spring arrived, and flowers bloomed, making her beauty indescribable.

  Just as Xiao Lingchen was deeply captivated by this enchanting scene, Jiang Luoxian unceremoniously knocked on his head.

  She then chided:

  "Always thinking about useless things!"

  "Let me ask you, how did the Sect Tournament go this time?"

  Jiang Luoxian intentionally changed the subject.

  Xiao Lingchen immediately replied:

  "The results were naturally excellent."

  The two sat down on the meditation mats in the wooden house.

  Xiao Lingchen recounted the entire process of the tournament to Jiang Luoxian.

  "That's how it went."

  "Disciple did not disappoint Master. Not only did I wipe out the entire branch of the Demon Race in the Dark Forest and gain many benefits, but I also secured the top position in the tournament. In three days, I will enter the True Martial Space."

  "The only unexpected thing was that my slaughter of the Tianyan Sect disciples was exposed so quickly, and the true strength of the Tianyan Sect exceeded my expectations, making this matter somewhat tricky."

  Jiang Luoxian said calmly:

  "It's not really tricky. You can go ahead and settle accounts with the Tianyan Sect. If you can't handle it, you still have me."

  Jiang Luoxian's words undoubtedly gave Xiao Lingchen great confidence.

  Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

  He felt grateful for having such a powerful and protective Master.

  Jiang Luoxian continued:

  "However, I won't easily intervene for you."

  "You should stay on the mountain and cultivate for the next few days. In three days, enter the True Martial Space to seek opportunities."

  "Gain supreme opportunities, then settle accounts with the Tianyan Sect."

  Xiao Lingchen nodded.

  Jiang Luoxian's words aligned with his own thoughts.

  This matter concerned a blood feud, and he wanted to personally take revenge, not relying on others.

  Even if that person was his Master, it was not acceptable.

  And so, Xiao Lingchen stayed in the Back Mountain.

  He entered the Void Space within the Heaven and Earth Mirror.

  In the Void Space, eight shadow figures immediately began cultivating divine powers on their own.

  These eight shadow figures were cultivating the God-killing Sword Technique, Anger of the Thunder, Shadow Assault Technique, Supreme Vajra Fist, Instant Movement Technique, Stealing Heaven Technique.

  And the Golden Body Technique evolved into a new divine power—Heaven and Earth Manifestation.

  As well as the reward for winning the Sect Tournament, a higher grade Earth-level divine power called Star Transfer.

  This new divine power was currently the highest grade among Xiao Lingchen's divine powers!

  Its ability was also outstanding!

  It could transfer any incoming divine power attacks!

  This divine power was undoubtedly more practical than other defensive divine powers, even capable of redirecting disasters.

  Xiao Lingchen was very satisfied.

  At this moment, the eight shadow figures tirelessly cultivated the eight divine powers for Xiao Lingchen.

  And Xiao Lingchen was not idle.

  He sat cross-legged, activated the Fuguang Jade Mirror Sundial, accelerating the flow of time within the Void Space.

  At the same time, he took out the three Primordial Pills obtained from the Sect Tournament.

  The Primordial Pills were sixth-grade spiritual pills, extremely rare throughout the entire Supreme Mystical Sect and even the entire Celestial Star Kingdom!

  After consumption, they could greatly increase cultivation and strength.

  Without hesitation, Xiao Lingchen swallowed the three Primordial Pills whole.

  In an instant, the immense medicinal power expanded Xiao Lingchen's body, but was then suppressed by the Pure Yang Sacred Body.

  Xiao Lingchen immediately operated the Yin-Yang Creation Method to refine it.

  When Xiao Lingchen opened his eyes again, a day and a night had passed.

  The three Primordial Pills had been completely refined by him.

  At this moment, his realm had successfully reached the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm!

  During this time, he had slaughtered nearly ten million cultivators and consumed various heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

  He had long been able to break through the Breaking Illusions Realm.

  But Xiao Lingchen continuously compressed his cultivation and spiritual power, striving to perfect each realm!

  The result was that his realm had not broken through the Breaking Illusions Realm.

  But his true strength had long surpassed those of the same realm, possessing the ability to fight across levels!

  Now that the Primordial Pills were refined.

  Xiao Lingchen continued to refine the remaining Fate Transformation Qi.

  Time passed.

  Another two days.

  The remaining Fate Transformation Qi was further refined by Xiao Lingchen.

  His physical body received further enhancement!

  Unfortunately, three days were too short, and those divine powers showed no progress.

  However, he had just begun to grasp the basics of Star Transfer!

  This was thanks to the time acceleration of the Fuguang Jade Mirror Sundial.

  Otherwise, in just three days, he wouldn't have been able to reach the entry level!

  Then Xiao Lingchen exited the Void Space, bid farewell to Jiang Luoxian, and headed to Great Bamboo Peak.

  At this time, Xiao Lingchen suddenly noticed that the Sound Transmission Talisman Ning Huanhuan had given him was flashing red continuously.

  He remembered that during these three days, he had been immersed in cultivation day and night.

  Ning Huanhuan must have sent him numerous messages!

  Placing the Sound Transmission Talisman to his ear, Ning Huanhuan's recorded voice immediately sounded:

  "What are you doing?"

  "Do you want to meet up?"

  "I'm waiting for you at the usual place."

  ......

  "Where are you?"

  "Say something!"

  "I snuck out without telling Senior Sister, you know!"

  "Hurry up and come out! Otherwise, Senior Sister will find out soon!"

  ......

  "Are we meeting tonight?"

  "Fine, fine, if you don't reply to my messages, see if I'll help you next time!"

  "If you don't respond, we won't see each other again!"

  ......

  "If you apologize to me tonight, I'll forgive you."

  "Yesterday, I found some amazing techniques in the Library Pavilion, even better than the ones you taught me."

  ......

  Listening to Ning Huanhuan's continuous messages, Xiao Lingchen couldn't help but smile.

  He didn't expect that in just three days, Ning Huanhuan would send him messages every day.

  Unfortunately, during these three days, he was entirely focused on cultivation and didn't pay attention.

  Now that he was preparing to enter the True Martial Space, he could only make it up to her after returning.

  Soon, Xiao Lingchen arrived at Great Bamboo Peak.

  At this time, Elder Yunzhu had been waiting for a long time.

  Upon arrival, Xiao Lingchen bowed and paid his respects.

  Elder Yunzhu nodded, and when he looked at Xiao Lingchen, his eyes couldn't help but shine:

  "In just three days, your cultivation and strength have improved again."

  "Your talent is truly enviable!"

  Xiao Lingchen smiled and then said:

  "Great Elder, let's set off."

  Pawread.
