System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

"Well, thank you for your guidance, Xiaota. However, I seem to... I think..." Chen Xuan stammered, unsure whether he should tell Xiaota now that he was following the legendary "Ultimate Cultivation System" in his Qi cultivation.

"Stop your babbling. You've already embarked on the path of gods and demons. The immortal cultivation system requires you to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm before you can even begin to explore it. As for the ultimate path system... you'd better not have any illusions. I don't know about it, and I'm not qualified to know."

"Uh, well, okay then." Chen Xuan shook his head and continued to focus entirely on fishing for the golden dragonfish.

Time passed. Nearly two years had gone by in the blink of an eye. During this time, Chen Xuan had been in the small underground space. It wasn't that the dragon fish there were inexhaustible, but rather that Chen Xuan was cultivating and comprehending the Dao while letting his second primordial spirit fish.

Bai Li initially went into seclusion, but emerged after three months. After purifying the Illusionary Dragon bloodline, her illusionary body technique became increasingly extraordinary. Several times, Chen Xuan almost didn't recognize Bai Li when she transformed into a writhing dragon fish on the ground.

"Hehe, Master, here, this is the fourth dragonfish. Hurry up and eat it, the next one will be grilled soon." Bai Li, a petite girl, was carrying a grilled golden dragonfish that was as big as a small car, making the scene somewhat asymmetrical.

Chen Xuan himself had been cultivating, attempting to break through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm in the Path of Gods and Demons before the two-and-a-half-year deadline.

Unfortunately, breaking through in the path of gods and demons is very difficult; even Chen Xuan needed to accumulate knowledge and experience before making a breakthrough.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Bai Li." Chen Xuan took the dragonfish that Bai Li handed him and began to eat it numbly. Streams of pure divine and demonic essence transformed into energy and entered his limbs and bones. Chen Xuan felt as if he was about to explode at any moment.

"Master, you, you've gotten bigger." Bai Li pinched Chen Xuan's cheek worriedly. "Why don't we stop for a while? I'm worried about you, Master."

Chen Xuan touched his face, shook his head and smiled, "Master is fine. You continue baking. I feel it's almost time. I'll be able to break through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm God-Demon Realm soon."

"Okay, Bai Li has noted it down. I'll go prepare it now."

Watching Bai Li transform into a gentle breeze and depart, Chen Xuan sat cross-legged once more, trying his best to open up all the cells in his body and absorb as much of the dragon fish essence as possible.

"My Crimson Bright Divine Body can only accommodate a maximum of three more. If I still can't break through with three, I'll just have to wait."

As Bai Li continued to roast the food and then brought it over, Chen Xuan's swollen divine body grew larger and larger, as if it were about to explode at any moment.

"Bai Li, leave immediately and stay away from me!" After swallowing the third dragonfish, Chen Xuan felt he had reached his limit and immediately scolded Bai Li.

"Master, I know. You must be careful. Bai Li will protect you." Bai Li looked at Chen Xuan worriedly, then gritted her teeth and fled.

"Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram, seventh level, break through!"

Whoosh—whoosh whoosh—

As Chen Xuan released his suppression, the entire space trembled, and the endless layers of earth covering the sky were immediately squeezed apart by the power of heaven and earth.

Then, a white divine dragon, formed from the true water of the moon and radiating endless cold, and another fire dragon, formed from the true fire of the sun and radiating intense heat like magma, rushed directly into Chen Xuan's body.

The two completely opposing attributes caused Chen Xuan's aura to rise rapidly, and then fall rapidly.

At the same time, the robe Chen Xuan was wearing was also unable to withstand the impact of such intense power and turned into dust.

"what--"

The Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram is known as the most difficult body-refining method to cultivate in the Three Thousand Worlds. The difficulty in getting started is only one aspect. It's not just that each breakthrough is difficult, but each major breakthrough involves drawing down the power of two supreme stars to temper the body, making the process extremely agonizing.

Of course, if one survives this ordeal, the Crimson Bright Divine Body will become even stronger, and the speed at which it recovers its divine power, as well as its vitality, will greatly increase.

Those who cannot survive will be reduced to ashes and completely annihilated.

"Once I survive this tribulation, I, Chen Xuan, will dare to fight even Earth Immortals and Loose Immortals at close range!" At this moment, while enduring the tempering and refining of the Taiyin True Water and Taiyang True Fire, Chen Xuan's eyes were filled with madness. Thinking of his suffering disciples and his clansmen who were driven underground to mine and endlessly exploited, he wanted to become stronger as soon as possible to rescue his disciples and clansmen.

"Give it to me, broken!"
