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

Chen Xuan was perfectly clear about the gains and losses of this trip to the Sword Realm Map. However, in front of his senior brothers and sisters who had no chance to enter the Sword Realm Map, he couldn't show off in front of them, lest he earn the reputation of being a "Versailles".

After bidding farewell to their senior brothers and sisters in front of everyone, Chen Xuan and Wang Kaixuan took to the air and left the square in front of the sect leader's hall.

Thousands of meters above the ground, a gentle breeze was blowing, and the two of them were extremely pleased with themselves. After a conversation, Chen Xuan learned that Wang Kaixuan had entered the fourth level of the Sword Realm Map, and coincidentally, it was displaying the shocking scene of the ancient demon realm's great battle.

Wang Kaixuan majored in the "Ten Thousand Beasts Law". Immersed in it, he naturally comprehended and absorbed the attack methods of all kinds of ferocious beasts, demonic beasts, and even legendary divine beasts.

"Hehe, this trip to the Sword Realm Map has been incredibly fruitful for me! Once we get back and go into seclusion to study it, my brother and I can finally ask our master for permission to go down the mountain for training." Wang Kaixuan said with a smug look on his face.

Chen Xuan nodded in agreement: "That's exactly what I was thinking."

Wang Kaixuan thought Chen Xuan hadn't gained anything from this trip. Seeing this, he slightly suppressed his smug smile and instead comforted him, "Don't be discouraged, junior brother. After we go down the mountain, if there's a chance, your senior brother will definitely take you to see the Immortal's Tomb."

Chen Xuan chuckled to himself as he looked at Wang Kaixuan's confident demeanor. However, he was genuinely curious about the immortal tombs in this great world of cultivation, so he nodded in agreement.

Before long, the two flew back to the outer perimeter of the sect at breakneck speed.

"Junior brother, no matter who comes out of seclusion first, you must go find the other," Wang Kaixuan instructed.

"Okay!" Chen Xuan replied.

Afterwards, the two parted ways at an altitude of 1,000 meters and returned to their respective mountain courtyards.

Back on her own territory, Bai Li lost the nervousness she had shown in front of the sect's high-ranking members. With a "whoosh," she flew away from Chen Xuan's wrist and transformed into a delicate young woman in white. She touched her chest and said with lingering fear, "Master, you have no idea how stunned I was when you were suddenly sucked into the Sword Realm Diagram."

Chen Xuan smiled wryly; he could perfectly imagine the awkward scene.

"Fortunately, my grandmaster and senior brothers and sisters are all very kind."

After chatting for a while, Chen Xuan, not daring to delay, took advantage of his insights from just leaving the Sword Realm Map and walked straight into the secluded meditation room.

Bai Li knew that her master was going down the mountain to train after leaving seclusion. She first went to Baili Spirit Field to give some instructions, and then hurriedly returned to her residence on the second floor of the main hall to go into seclusion.

It turned out that Chen Xuan had already told them that only cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm and the Myriad Manifestations Realm were allowed to enter the Ancient Immortal Path.

Bai Li's Purple Mansion Sea was already full of spiritual energy thanks to various resources, but she had been suppressing it and had not dared to break through to become a Nascent Soul Daoist.

Firstly, she was bound by these rules; secondly, being in the Nine Heavens Profound Purity Palace, she saw that second-generation disciples such as Piaoxue and Jianxin, who clearly possessed strength comparable to the Yuan Shen, were still stuck in the Myriad Manifestations Realm, just to lay a more solid foundation.

Although Bai Li's talent was not as good as Chen Xuan's or Piao Xue's, she was still very ambitious and had great aspirations.

With Chen Xuan, the master of Beiming Peak, and Bai Li, the head steward, both in seclusion, Xiao Bei activated the protective array of the entire Beiming Peak.

Spring goes and autumn comes, another year has passed in the blink of an eye, and the first snow of winter falls in a flurry.

Since the last time the Sword Realm Map closed, Chen Xuan has spent a whole year in seclusion, living a steady and peaceful life.

During his last six-month seclusion, he devoted himself to comprehending the Lesser Thousand Sword Formation taught by his master, Immortal Thousand Paths.

During this seclusion, Chen Xuan's second primordial spirit focused on refining Qi through secret techniques such as "Lightning Speed ​​Step" and "Divine Strike Technique," while his main body was busy with "Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram," "Law of Heaven and Earth," and the combat experience and insights gained in the eighth space of the Sword Realm Diagram.

It was fortunate that Chen Xuan possessed the extraordinary system talent; otherwise, in such a short time, how could he have fully utilized all the insights he had accumulated?

Inside the quiet underground chamber, on the cold jade Bagua platform, the true form of Chen Xuan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. His crimson divine body grew increasingly dense, resembling a vibrant band of light that circulated and flowed around his physical body.

Compared to his last seclusion, Chen Xuan's Crimson Divine Power has undergone a qualitative leap in both its strength and density.

"Wow—"

Suddenly, the crimson divine power around Chen Xuan began to vibrate violently. First, it scattered in all directions, and then, like weary birds returning to their nests, it all converged on Chen Xuan.

Only after all the overflowing divine power disappeared into his body did the oppressive aura unique to the Crimson Bright Divine Body in the quiet room slowly dissipate.

After sitting upright for a year, Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes. In the depths of his eyes, a flash of light, like lightning, disappeared in an instant. This near-perfect physical body had finally fully awakened.

Chen Xuan did some quick calculations and couldn't help but sigh, "Another year has passed."

For cultivators, the one thing they have in abundance in the early stages is time.

"System panel." Chen Xuan murmured softly, and a panel instantly appeared in front of him:

Chen Xuan glanced at the panel and saw that the "Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram" had successfully broken through to the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and the divine power "Law of Heaven and Earth" had also reached the minor completion stage. He couldn't help but show a satisfied smile.

"Although I haven't made many progress in my enlightenment this year, this six-zhang-tall divine and demonic body, as well as the Dao True Meaning level of 'Lightning Speed ​​Step,' have greatly boosted my close combat strength." Chen Xuan muttered to himself, "Moreover, with the help of my second primordial spirit, 'Minor Thousand Sword Formation' and 'God-Shattering Technique' have also improved significantly this year."

Chen Xuan stepped down from the jade platform, and with a slight twist of his body, his joints crackled like popping beans.

"Awesome!" Chen Xuan shouted joyfully, "Only now have I, Chen Xuan, truly stabilized my strength at the Extreme Dao Opening Mansion Realm."

Indeed, Chen Xuan had been a disciple of Xuanqing Palace for nearly two years, and only now had he fully integrated all his past insights and accumulations into himself.

This is the astonishing potential of the Extreme Dao Opening Mansion Realm.

"It's time to pay my respects to my master and prepare for our descent down the mountain."
