The female supporting character in the cultivation world only wants to grow flowers and become stron

On Thousand Peaks.

After several days, True Monarch Xuanhui, who had been in seclusion for more than two months, finally emerged from his seclusion.

He walked out of the back mountain, his face devoid of its usual smile.

Seeing this, the disciples tacitly refrained from asking the reason. But judging from Xuan Hui's expression, they already had a guess.

It's nothing more than an attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage that failed again.

This wasn't the first time True Lord Xuanhui had done something like this.

Each time he went into seclusion for several months, he would emerge with a furrowed brow, still unable to break through that barrier.

This was a common occurrence in the Taique Sect, and everyone felt sorry for him.

Hundreds of years ago, True Monarch Xuanhui was a recognized cultivation genius in the cultivation world, whose speed was unmatched.

From Qi Refining to Nascent Soul, and even from the early Nascent Soul stage to the late Nascent Soul stage, he progressed almost at breakneck speed, without any sense of stagnation.

However, when he reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he suddenly hit a roadblock, as if all the previous bottlenecks had erupted at this moment, and his once smooth cultivation had been punished.

This phenomenon not only shocked the people of the Taique Sect, but also caused an uproar throughout the entire cultivation world.

Another hundred years have passed, and True Monarch Xuanhui still hasn't broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. His former genius aura has gradually faded, his reputation in the cultivation world has disappeared, and his status within the sect has quietly changed, with even True Man Yuheng climbing above him.

Aside from those who lived through his glorious era, most others were unaware of his legendary exploits and even looked down on him. Those who actually lived through his time, however, secretly paid close attention to him.

After all, he was once the number one on the Golden Core Ranking in the cultivation world of that generation, and his strength was beyond doubt.

This is why the older generation in the cultivation world values ​​the personal disciples of True Monarch Xuanhui so much—the original number one on the Golden Core Ranking could very well cultivate another number one on the Golden Core Ranking!

This is something no one wants to see!

The moment True Monarch Xuanhui emerged from seclusion, the sect leader personally arrived to inquire about his feelings.

Xuanhui Zhenjun sighed deeply, his tone filled with helplessness: "It's still the same as before. I don't know where the problem lies. I've tried all sorts of methods, consulted countless books, and even conducted a lot of research on my own body, but all to no avail. I just can't break through that barrier."

Upon hearing this, the sect leader couldn't help but sigh.

She knew Xuanhui Zhenjun's condition all too well.

Most of the Nascent Soul cultivators in this generation are of similar age, with a difference of no more than a few hundred years. Even the sect leader is a contemporary of them, so they naturally know each other quite well.

She could more or less guess why True Monarch Xuanhui was having difficulty breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. It wasn't that True Monarch Xuanhui lacked aptitude or comprehension, or that his cultivation was inadequate.

In fact, based on his understanding and beliefs, he should have broken through to the Nascent Soul stage long ago, and may even have exceeded the general standard.

However, another factor has always been hindering him—

That's state of mind.

Sometimes, the inability to improve one's cultivation level is not necessarily due to a lack of talent; psychological factors cannot be ignored. Just like the original owner of this body, Lin Yitang, who was stuck in the Qi Refining stage for several years due to a mental block.

Anyone could see that Xuanhui Zhenjun's body was filled with too much pent-up energy, which was the key reason why he could not break through.

As for what exactly was the pent-up frustration in Xuanhui Zhenjun's heart, others might not know, but the sect leader had already noticed it.

According to her observation, True Monarch Xuanhui's cultivation speed seemed to have slowed down after he took on disciples. According to the rules of the Taique Sect, once a cultivator breaks through to the Golden Core stage, he becomes qualified to take on disciples and can even apply for his own mountain peak.

Xuanhui Zhenjun started accepting disciples relatively late, only in the late Nascent Soul stage, and the disciples he accepted were extraordinary.

However, diverting his energy to his disciples cannot fully explain his stagnation in cultivation. What truly prevented him from making further progress was what happened to his two disciples—

His eldest disciple was seriously injured in a battle, his spiritual root was damaged, and he could no longer cultivate. He could only seal himself in his cave. His second disciple disappeared in the cultivation world and his whereabouts are unknown. He is suspected to be dead.

These two events became an unresolved knot in Xuanhui Zhenjun's heart. This was also deduced by the sect leader through calculating his cultivation time.

Despite Xuan Hui's best efforts to conceal his emotions, he could not escape the eyes of his fellow cultivators.

His secrets could not be hidden from those who knew him well.

The sect leader was also troubled by this, and at one point did not know how to help Xuan Hui. However, just when she was at her wit's end, good news came.

She specifically sought out Xuan Hui to share this good news. She slowly began, "Xuan Hui, I have some news to tell you about your disciple."

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Xuanhui frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

He was silent for a moment before asking, "What is it? Is it about Yi Tang? Has she returned from her training?"

The sect leader nodded and said, "That's right, it is indeed related to Junior Sister Lin. Your new little disciple is too promising. She actually broke through to the Golden Core stage and killed quite a few disciples from the Tianxuan Sect and Tianyan Sect. She has become quite famous in the cultivation world."

Xuan Hui's worried face immediately broke into a smile, and he said with a smile, "That's right, my little disciple has always put me at ease. I didn't expect that she would break through to the Golden Core stage while I was in seclusion. It's such a pleasant surprise! I will definitely reward her well when we get back."

However, the sect leader wanted to express more than just this.

She stopped being mysterious and said directly, "Your second disciple has been found. He didn't die. Although his appearance this time was somewhat dangerous, he was rescued. He should have escaped successfully now and is on his way back to the sect."

Upon hearing this news, True Monarch Xuanhui was first stunned, then his eyes flashed with wild joy. His body trembled slightly, as if he couldn't believe it was true.

After a long while, he finally found his voice, his tone filled with surprise and joy: "Really? My second disciple, Ming Yijun, he's not dead? That's wonderful... wonderful!"

Xuanhui Zhenjun clenched his fists tightly, his eyes gleaming.

At that moment, all his frustration seemed to vanish, replaced by boundless joy.

This change naturally did not escape the sect leader's notice.

She was overjoyed. It seemed that Xuan Hui's inner knot had finally been untied, and he was one step closer to breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

She added with a grin, "Actually, this is also thanks to your little apprentice, Lin. She's the one who went to the Ice Plains to rescue Ming Yijun. Don't forget to give her credit for this."

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Xuanhui smiled and said, "I will. Yitang has truly made a great contribution this time, and the sect should not forget to reward her with more resources."

He paused, as if sensing something, and his smile grew even brighter: "Speak of the devil, and he appears! They've both returned safely, so I'll go see them first."

"Don't forget to give them a reward!"

After saying that, he vanished from the spot in a flash, even using the "shrinking the earth to an inch" technique while traveling.

It's clear they're in a real hurry!
