Practice begins with immortality

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed. Time flies, and the old is replaced by the new.

In a training room in Thunder Roar King City, a middle-aged man was concentrating on his training, preparing to break through his own realm. A strong aura of thunder and fire emanated from him, as if resonating with the heavens and the earth. The thunder and fire complemented each other, giving people a sense of powerful strength.

An hour passed quietly, and suddenly, a dull sound spread throughout the training room, like a thunderbolt across the sky. This loud noise meant that the man had successfully broken through.

"Congratulations! You've successfully broken through to the top of the King-level combat body and mastered 76% of the true meaning of thunder and fire. With your current strength, you are a truly powerful figure even among the top King-level masters, and are well-suited to the important task of becoming the leader of the Thunder Clan." At that moment, a mysterious masked figure suddenly appeared in the stone chamber. His voice was calm and steady, yet it revealed a sense of power.

The masked man was Wang Bai, and this man was the most powerful person in the Lei clan today - Lei Tianhuo.

"But I'm still no match for you, senior!" Lei Tianhuo said with emotion. The stronger he became, the more he could feel the unfathomable nature of the senior in front of him.

"Back then, I promised the old clan leader Lei that I would look after the Thunder Clan and the Sea Clan for him until an extremely powerful person was born. Now that both clans have extremely powerful people in charge, I have fulfilled my promise and it is time for me to leave. But--" Having said that, Wang Bai paused, then took out two long swords from the space ring. The two long swords were one black and one white, with a cold light flashing on the blades. A blue gem was inlaid on the handle, and it looked extremely sharp.

"These are two swords I made myself. You can choose one of them, and I will send the remaining one to the sea tribe for you." Wang Bai said to Lei Tianhuo.

These two long swords were forged using techniques derived from existing weapon-refining traditions and his research into the techniques used to refine the magical longsword. Using the finest materials from the two clans' treasuries, the two long swords reached the level of mid-grade magical instruments, and their toughness was comparable to that of top-grade instruments.

"Senior, are you really leaving?" Lei Tianhuo frowned, looking a little melancholy and reluctant, and asked in a low and sincere voice.

Over the past twenty years, there have been turmoil across the land, but these events haven't spread across all sectors. Lei Tianhuo is well aware of the reasons, and without further ado, he understands that these events are all due to Wang Bai's behind-the-scenes meddling. It is precisely because of Wang Bai's presence that this land has been able to maintain relative stability and tranquility.

In addition, Wang Bo often provided valuable guidance and instruction to members of both clans. Lei Tianhuo benefited greatly from his guidance, saving him many detours on his path of cultivation. Therefore, upon learning of Wang Bo's impending departure, Lei Tianhuo felt an indescribable sense of melancholy.

"All good things must come to an end, and it's time for me to leave. Which of these two swords do you want to choose?"

"In that case, I'll choose this one." Lei Tianhuo picked up the black knife, looked it over, and said to Wang Bai, "Senior, do these two knives have names?"

"No, but you can name them yourself."

"These two swords can be said to be the best weapons in the world. In this case, my sword is called Tianxia, ​​and the other sword is called Shijie."

"What a nice name." After saying that, Wang Bai left here silently.

……

Xuan Tiecheng.

"Twenty years have passed in the Wilderness, and ten years have passed here!" Wang Bai sighed as he walked along the streets of Black Iron City. He had spent the vast majority of these ten years in the Wilderness, while back in Black Iron City, he had always claimed to be in seclusion, cultivating, emerging only at the end of each year to handle city affairs.

Xuantie City had undergone tremendous changes by then. Compared to ten years ago, it was now even more prosperous. The discovery of a second-tier spiritual vein and spiritual stone mines had drawn many cultivators to the area. Once dilapidated buildings had been demolished and rebuilt, replaced by tall, magnificent pavilions and exquisite mansions. Lush spiritual trees lined the streets, and flowers bloomed, their fragrance filling the air.

After twenty years, his bottleneck had been polished away, leaving him just one step away from a breakthrough to the middle stage of the Golden Core. Once he obtained the water from the Feixian Spring, he could refine the Feixian Pill. Afterward, he could wait until he broke through to the late stage of the Golden Core before swallowing the Feixian Pill to directly break through to the perfect Golden Core, maximizing the effectiveness of the Feixian Pill.

Half a year later, a powerful aura emanated from the training room on the second-level spiritual vein in Xuantie City, but it only existed for a moment before disappearing without a trace.

The source of this aura was Wang Bai, who successfully broke through to the middle stage of the Golden Core.
