Chapter 40

: The Realm of Suppression

After speaking, Han Li looked calmly at Xin Ruyin, waiting for her to speak.

There was no need to reach out and take it; a single glance was enough to confirm that it was undoubtedly the genuine Great Shift Order.

Based on what the other party said, their purpose and concerns are clear and reasonable.

Xin Ruyin looked thoughtful, and after a moment she spoke truthfully: "Fellow Daoist Han's considerations are indeed thorough. However, the corner of the repaired array diagram is not on me at the moment, but is still being kept by Senior Lu."

Upon hearing this, Han Li did not show much surprise or disappointment, and silently put the token back into his storage bag.

He asked casually, just to test the waters and to be on the safe side.

Besides considering all aspects as mentioned, Han Li had an even more important intention in mind.

If Lu Jianghe fails to emerge from seclusion in the next few days, he will use Xin Ruyin to reveal that he not only possesses the location of the ancient teleportation array but also a crucial teleportation token.

In this way, no matter how the situation changes, as long as Lu Jianghe is determined to leave this place, he will inevitably come to Huangfeng Valley to find Han Li.

Until then, all I need to do is proceed cautiously, preserve my life, and wait for the right opportunity, just like before.

The sun rises and the moon sets.

Another four or five days passed.

Han Li ultimately failed to wait for Lu Jianghe to emerge from seclusion.

Having no other choice, I had to leave first.

On the contrary.

Xin Ruyin showed no concern whatsoever.

Her Dragon Roar Body has been healed, and she can now cultivate normally.

I no longer spend my free time tending to flowers and plants like I used to.

Therefore, Xin Ruyin devoted all her time to breathing in spiritual energy to improve her cultivation level.

Thanks to the reshaping of his meridians, coupled with his good spiritual roots.

Almost every day his training improved slightly compared to before, and his speed increased, which can be described as rising with the tide.

Perhaps there is an even deeper layer, an instinct that she herself has failed to delve into and acknowledge.

If one's realm of understanding is deep enough and one's cultivation level is high enough, perhaps one can linger a little longer beside that person and take a few more glances...

I don't know how much time has passed.

The condensed water vapor outside Lu Jianghe's room suddenly accelerated.

It no longer slowly gathers and flows, but rather, as if drawn by an invisible vortex, it begins to condense.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is drawn to it, forming tiny spiritual tides that converge in the same direction.

The surrounding aura of condensed water, like a whale sucking up a rainbow, suddenly collapsed inward and was completely absorbed within a few breaths, leaving not a drop.

The entire process was completely silent.

The door slowly opened.

The warm light from the lanterns under the eaves intertwined with the cool moonlight streaming through the window, casting a silhouette.

The person's hair was tied with a jade hairpin, and their large sleeves fluttered like clouds, reflected in the doorway.

Lu Jianghe walked out slowly, dressed in a black robe, still the "Morning Dew" robe of semi-divine weapon quality.

As his cultivation level gradually advanced, he was able to use this robe briefly, and it was no longer just for covering his body.

At this moment, however, the robes only served to deceive the eye; the true supernatural powers within remained unrevealed.

I looked up at the big moon.

The moonlight, cool and clear, appeared much smaller than the three bright moons of the desolate world.

Lu Jianghe's current state is somewhat unexpected even to himself.

The various signs within the body clearly indicate a mysterious state of deliberate pressure.

You can break through realms anytime, anywhere.

That state is like your meridians, dantian, and qi palace are constantly stirring.

But he forcibly suppressed them all, like a hand forcibly pressing down a rising sun.

If Lu Jianghe hadn't deliberately suppressed it, there would have been no need for him to absorb the spiritual energy of the outside world.

The spiritual energy contained in the thirty-six acupoints of the body alone is enough to condense a golden elixir.

In addition, the soul within the body is highly concentrated, and the aura is surging and powerful.

The "Morning Dew" robe, worn by a half-immortal soldier, was used to suppress it.

That ripple of energy almost penetrated through the body and was visible to the naked eye.

Fortunately, "Morning Dew" could share his burden without him having to be half-hearted.

He had already sensed the commotion when Han Li visited earlier while he was in seclusion.

However, for Lu Jianghe, it is essential to ensure that he is in perfect peak condition, without any flaws.

He had even prepared for the worst, anticipating that things would not be smooth sailing on his way out of Tiannan, regardless of the original timeline or the potential changes that might occur.

In his current state, as long as he doesn't run into a combined attack from several late-stage Core Formation cultivators, he should be fine.

Even if they encounter a formidable enemy, they will still have the ability to cope.

It simply requires him to unleash his natal flying sword.

His divine sense swept across the room and he saw Xin Ruyin meditating and cultivating.

A slight sense of surprise rose in Lu Jianghe's heart.

How long has it been?

He has actually climbed from the first level of Qi Refining to the third level.

It seems there's still room for further breakthroughs.

With such a rapid pace of improvement, could it be that this woman's spiritual root quality is actually that of a celestial spiritual root?

However, the thought only flashed through his mind, and he did not delve into it further.

Lu Jianghe was quite satisfied with her diligence and progress.

With such talent and perseverance, it was not in vain that he spent so much effort refining the "White Bone and Flesh Regenerating" pill to cure her Dragon Roar Body, and decided to take her with him to the Chaotic Star Sea.

Although helping her was also necessary for repairing the ancient teleportation array, the result was quite satisfactory.

Lu Jianghe already had a plan in mind for what to do with Xin Ruyin after she arrived in the Chaotic Star Sea.

Upon arrival, the first priority was naturally to help her establish her foundation.

As long as she can successfully establish her foundation, she will be sent to Tianxing City to settle down.

That day, Star City was the core megacity where human cultivators gathered in the Chaotic Star Sea. It was controlled by the Star Palace, possessing immense power and strict order.

Regardless of what he does behind the scenes.

Open fighting and killing among cultivators is strictly prohibited within the city.

This kind of environment is an excellent place for a woman like her who is focused on studying the art of formations and needs a stable environment to cultivate.

It is far safer and more secure than staying in the turbulent and resource-scarce Tiannan region.

Although the essence of cultivating immortality ultimately cannot escape the word "struggle".

At least the external threat of rampant monsters in the Chaotic Star Sea can still make cultivators feel a sense of shared hatred and hatred.

In addition, the abundance of demonic beast resources means that it is rare for lower-level cultivators to perish at the hands of their own kind.

As long as the constellation is not overthrown, a relatively clear order is maintained under its rule.

Lu Jianghe sat in the pavilion, then took out a book on formations and began to read it.

Seeing that Xin Ruyin was still meditating, they did not disturb her.

And so the night passed.

Xin Ruyin woke up from her meditation and came out.

Upon seeing the figure in the courtyard, he was overjoyed and quickly stood up and walked over.

"Senior Lu, you've emerged from seclusion!"

Hearing this, Lu Jianghe turned his head, his gaze falling on her. Her aura had stabilized at the fourth level of Qi Refining. He asked, "How do you feel? Has your realm stabilized?"

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Lu."

Xin Ruyin gave a deep curtsy, her voice carrying an undisguised lightness.

"My meridians are unobstructed, my spiritual energy flows smoothly and effortlessly, better than ever before, and my cultivation level has also stabilized."
