Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

To Chu Yunfan's great surprise, in the process of deducing the power of the rules of creation, he discovered that the art of star-gazing and divination could not only be used to deduce people and events, but also to deduce the power of the rules of heaven and earth.

With the dual assistance of enlightenment and the art of astronomical deduction, Chu Yunfan's understanding of the Five Elements' mutual generation and the power of the rules of creation was like a rocket taking off!

Immersed in his cultivation, Chu Yunfan had completely lost his sense of time.

It is unknown how much time passed before Chu Yunfan's consciousness returned to his body and he regained consciousness after the state of enlightenment ended.

At this moment, the undisguised smile on Chu Yunfan's face was enough to prove how much he had gained from this sudden enlightenment.

Of course, besides Chu Yunfan, Nalan Xue, Tu Shanyu, and Shangguan Wan, they also gained a lot at this moment.

Most noticeably, the cultivation aura emanating from the three individuals had increased significantly, reaching the mid-stage of the Martial Emperor realm.

This indicates that the three of them have all raised their understanding of the power of rules to the minor completion level.

The realm division for Martial Emperor level experts is quite simple.

Comprehending a certain power of the laws of heaven and earth and reaching the entry level is the early stage of the Martial Emperor realm.

Reaching the minor mastery level from the beginner level is equivalent to the mid-stage of the Martial Emperor realm.

The advancement from the Lesser Completion to the Greater Completion realm is the late stage of the Martial Emperor realm.

From Great Completion to Perfection, one reaches the peak of the Martial Emperor realm.

Of course, this only applies to the degree of understanding of the power of the rules of heaven and earth.

At this moment, Chu Yunfan can actually be considered a mid-stage Martial Emperor.

In reality, Chu Yunfan's strength only reached the mid-stage of the Martial Emperor realm.

His cultivation level was still only at the half-step Martial Emperor level.

Because, in addition to comprehending the power of the rules of heaven and earth, there is another necessary condition for breaking through from the Martial King Realm to the Martial Emperor Realm: to find one's own Earth Soul.

Earthlings may not know this, but cultivators understand it.

That is, a person has three souls, namely the human soul, the earth soul, and the heaven soul.

The so-called human soul is what people usually refer to as the soul, that is, the soul body within the body of a Martial King realm expert.

The Earth Soul represents the connection between humans and the earth; it is not located within the human body but deep underground.

As for the Heavenly Soul, it is the same; it represents the connection between humans and heaven, hidden in the endless void.

Only by retrieving their Earth Soul from the depths of the earth, making their soul more complete and powerful, and greatly enhancing their intelligence and comprehension, can a Martial King realm expert be qualified to become a Martial Emperor realm expert and support the subsequent cultivation of the Martial Emperor realm.

Someone like Chu Yunfan, with a cultivation level of half a step Martial Emperor, can comprehend the power of the rules of heaven and earth to the minor completion level, which is equivalent to the mid-stage of the Martial Emperor realm.

That was purely due to Chu Yunfan's naturally powerful soul and extraordinary comprehension.

Of course, the enlightenment of the Azure Lotus also contributed to this.

If it were a normal person, without breaking through to the Martial Emperor realm and without an Earth Soul, it would be impossible to comprehend the power of the rules of heaven and earth to the minor completion level using only the human soul within their body.

Of course, finding the Earth Soul sounds simple; one can rely on their own human soul to sense things deep underground.

However, for Chu Yunfan, a huge problem lay before him.

That is, Chu Yunfan's Earth Soul is not on the Qingyun Continent at all, but inside the Earth!

Therefore, if Chu Yunfan wants to break through to the Martial Emperor realm and continue cultivating to become stronger, he must first return to Earth and retrieve his Earth Soul.

In other words, before returning to Earth, Chu Yunfan's cultivation level could only stop at the half-step Martial Emperor level, and he was unable to improve further.

Of course, Chu Yunfan had already figured this out long ago.

Therefore, his original plan was to return to Earth after the Grand Gathering of Prodigies ended.

Of course, Chu Yunfan returned to Earth not only to retrieve the Earth Soul and break through to the Martial Emperor realm.

At the same time, it was also to bring his parents to the Azure Cloud Continent to improve their aptitude, so that they could also cultivate and pursue immortality.

However, a problem now lies before Chu Yunfan.

That is, with his current strength, crossing the endless starry sky to return to Earth would undoubtedly be a matter of life and death.

Therefore, if Chu Yunfan wants to return to Earth, there is only the second method left.

That is, to go back to where you came from.

Return to Earth via the Ancient Land of a Thousand Desolations.

"Fortunately, with the help of the Enlightenment Lotus, I successfully comprehended the power of spatial rules this time."

Otherwise, let alone returning to Earth.

I'm afraid I won't even be able to enter the Thousand Absolute Ancient Land.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunfan couldn't help but feel a sense of relief, and his eyes unconsciously drifted towards the Enlightenment Lotus in the lake.

However, at this moment, Chu Yunfan did not see the Enlightenment Lotus.

Because after Chu Yunfan finished his cultivation, the Enlightenment Lotus had already automatically submerged into the bottom of the lake and disappeared.

"Pity!"

Looking at the empty lake, Chu Yunfan sighed inwardly.

Then, Chu Yunfan transmitted his voice to Nalan Xue and the others:

"After leaving the space battlefield and returning to the outside world, I will still be Zhou Xinghe, the pride of the Zhou family."

I will tell the Zhou family when the time comes.

You have been controlled by me and have betrayed Chu Yunfan.

That way, the Zhou family won't cause you any more trouble, nor will they suspect that I'm impersonating Zhou Xinghe!

As soon as she finished speaking, Shangguan Wan immediately replied telepathically:

"Yunfan, the Zhou family has a history of tens of thousands of years, with profound heritage and many powerful figures."

Their strength is beyond your imagination.

Staying with the Zhou family would be extremely dangerous.

Why don't you come back to the Qingyun Sword Sect with me?

Based on your performance at the Gathering of Prodigies, the sect will surely recognize your talent and will protect you with all its might to prevent the Zhou family from continuing their reckless behavior!

Shangguan Wan's words make a lot of sense.

However, Chu Yunfan still felt that it was too early to leave the Zhou family.

Putting everything else aside, the opportunity to enhance his Star Bloodline alone was worth the risk for Chu Yunfan.

After this grand gathering of geniuses, Chu Yunfan clearly felt the power of the Star Bloodline.

Without hesitation, Chu Yunfan immediately prepared to send another telepathic message to Shangguan Wan, informing her of his decision.

However, before Chu Yunfan could even begin to transmit his voice.

Nalan Xue, who was standing to the side, spoke first:

"Both the Zhou family and the Star Sword Sect are based in the Northern Underworld."

Moreover, both the Zhou family and the Star Sword Sect cultivate the power of stars.

Furthermore, as a prodigy of the Qingyun Sword Sect, Junior Brother Chu was openly targeted by the Zhou family for their own selfish reasons, which can be described as trampling on the face of the Star Sword Sect.

However, the Star Sword Sect ignored this matter.

"Do you really mean you've never had any doubts?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wan's expression changed instantly, her pretty face filled with surprise and confusion.

At the same time, Chu Yunfan was also startled, as if he had guessed something.

However, Chu Yunfan was not sure, so he turned his gaze to Nalan Xue and waited for her answer.
