After conquering the Empress, I proved my Dao with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace!

Qin Chuan took out the Spirit Martial Pill, the prize for first place in the competition, sat cross-legged, and began to cultivate silently.

After learning that Yin Jiaojiao was likely at Lingyun Peak, he knew he had to improve his strength as soon as possible and then go there.

If Yin Jiaojiao isn't the person he wants, then so be it. But if she is, Qin Chuan will make Elder Ge Ye pay the price he deserves!

While Qin Chuan was cultivating, Empress Yao Xi also left quietly, without disturbing his cultivation.

And so, within the space of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace, time passed little by little.

……

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the outside world, however, it has only been half a month.

During this period, apart from Ma Yang sending someone to urge Qin Chuan to go to Danfeng, no one disturbed him.

Therefore, Qin Chuan also devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation.

Unbeknownst to him, he had broken through to the peak of the ninth level of the Great Mystic Master, just one step away from breaking through to the Mystic King realm.

At the same time, Qin Chuan was completely out of pills, having used up all the pills in Xiao Wen's storage ring.

Even the winner of the freshman competition squandered almost all of the pills he received.

"It all hinges on this!"

Looking at the last Spirit Martial Pill in his hand, Qin Chuan's eyes flickered, and he muttered to himself.

He had tried to break through to the Xuanwang realm three times, and each time he failed.

This is the last pill Qin Chuan has left. If it fails again, he will have to wait until he goes to Pill Peak to exchange it for spiritual medicine.

He no longer had any spare time; he had to go to Lingyun Peak first to see if Yin Jiaojiao was the person he was looking for.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan no longer hesitated, tilted his head back, and swallowed the pill directly.

The fifth-grade pill, the Spirit Martial Pill, instantly dissolved in his throat and flowed into his body through his limbs and bones.

At the same time, Qin Chuan began to cultivate according to the Tai Xu Wu Liang Jue technique.

three days later.

At a certain moment, Qin Chuan, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp light flashed through them.

"Crack!"

As if a cracking sound rang out, Qin Chuan finally broke through this barrier and advanced to the Xuan King realm.

In an instant, a booming sound emanated from his body, and a powerful pressure slowly rose up.

"Is this the Xuan King...?"

Qin Chuan clenched his fist, feeling the Xuan power many times stronger than before, and a surge of heroic spirit welled up in his heart.

If we were facing Xiao Wen now, we wouldn't even need to use the Heaven-Breaking Palm; we could defeat him completely without breaking a sweat.

"Ling Yunfeng, I'm here!"

Qin Chuan's eyes flashed, and with a thought, he appeared in the main hall.

"Professor Guan, what brings you here?"

As soon as Qin Chuan reached the entrance of the main hall, he saw Guan Yueyue walking towards him.

Guan Yueyue smiled slightly, "I saw you were in seclusion before, and I haven't congratulated you on winning first place in the freshman competition yet."

"So that's what happened."

Qin Chuan smiled and said casually, "Those people in the freshman competition are not at a high level. Even after a month, they haven't improved much. So it's easy for me to deal with them."

Apart from a minor hiccup later on, nothing else happened.

Guan Yueyue nodded and said, "I've heard about that incident too. If the sect leader hadn't intervened and dealt with Han Yutang, I would definitely have settled the score with him! My disciple isn't someone anyone can threaten!"

Hearing Guan Yueyue's words, Qin Chuan felt a warm current rise in his heart and couldn't help but feel a little moved.

As if she had thought of something, Guan Yueyue asked, "Where are you planning to go?"

Qin Chuan made up a story: "I'm going to get some fresh air nearby. After all, it's getting too boring to be in seclusion for cultivation all the time."

He didn't plan to tell Guan Yueyue about Ling Yunfeng, since he hadn't confirmed it yet.

Upon hearing this, Guan Yueyue frowned slightly and said unhappily, "Cultivation is inherently a tedious thing, requiring you to be down-to-earth and persistent."

Don't get carried away just because your cultivation speed is a little faster than the average person.

To give Qin Chuan a warning, Guan Yueyue thought for a moment and then said, "I have heard that there is a genius disciple in Wuji Palace who is not even twenty years old yet, but has already reached the peak of the eighth level of the Great Profound Master. He is only one step away from breaking through to the ninth level of the Great Profound Master!"

So you can't let your guard down. You need to be humble and learn from others, understand?

After hearing Guan Yueyue's words, Qin Chuan's lips curled up slightly, and his smile became somewhat strange.

Seeing this, Guan Yueyue frowned. "What, did I say something wrong?"

Qin Chuan shook his head.

"That's good."

Just as Guan Yueyue was about to say something more, Qin Chuan stepped forward, his aura as the Xuan King completely revealed.

Feeling the oppressive aura, Guan Yueyue's beautiful eyes widened suddenly, and she exclaimed incredulously, "You...you're already a Xuan King?"

Her voice trembled slightly as she asked this question.

Qin Chuan didn't hide anything and nodded, saying, "Yes."

"hiss…"

Seeing Qin Chuan nod in agreement, Guan Yueyue gasped, her eyes filled with shock.

After a long silence, she looked at Qin Chuan, sighed, and said, "You're really a pervert!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan touched his nose and said with a wry smile, "Professor Guan, that's not a nice word."

“In my opinion, it’s a good word,” Guan Yueyue replied.

Back when she was at the Qin family in Guiyun City, Guan Yueyue was skeptical when Qin Chuan boasted that he would break through to the Xuanhuang Realm in half a year.

After all, even a ten-star bloodline might not be able to achieve that.

The path of martial arts is a long and arduous one.

Each level of attainment is like an insurmountable mountain.

Countless cultivators have spent months, or even years, without being able to advance even one level in their cultivation.

But unexpectedly, Qin Chuan reached the Xuan King realm in just one month.

Guan Yueyue is now completely convinced that the other party will definitely be able to break through to the Xuanhuang realm within half a year.

Guan Yueyue suddenly said, "Now that you have broken through to the Xuan King level, I think it's time to tell you something about the secret techniques of Falling Leaf Peak."

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan's eyes lit up; he was extremely curious about secret techniques.

But Qin Chuan hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly, "Professor Guan, I have something to do and I need to go out for a while. Can I talk to you again when I get back?"

"Okay, then come find me in the main hall when you get back," Guan Yueyue nodded.

After saying that, she walked back to her main hall.

Seeing Guan Yueyue leave, Qin Chuan did not hesitate and went straight to the nearest teleportation array to Lingyun Peak.

……

In addition to the eight main peaks, the Heavenly Sword Sect also has countless side peaks, and each elder can have their own side peak.

Lingyun Peak is one of these places, and it is the residence of Ge Ye, an inner sect elder.

Half an hour later, after questioning the inner disciples, Qin Chuan arrived at Lingyun Peak via the teleportation array.

Lingyun Peak is a small mountain, but it is beautiful and secluded, a veritable paradise.

"This kudzu leaf really knows how to pick a spot..."

Looking at the lush greenery before him, Qin Chuan's eyes flickered, and he muttered to himself.

"Pah! You slut! You're nothing but Instructor Ge's plaything, what are you pretending to be innocent for!"

Just then, Qin Chuan was about to head up the mountain when he heard faint sounds of a man cursing coming from the bamboo grove beside him.

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then walked towards the bamboo forest.
