It will still take so ti to collect the materials needed for upgrading the Transmission Formation.
Chen Jichuan was not rely waiting idly for Luo Ming either.
Afterward, he visited the managers of the Fire Cloud Sect and the Seven Mysterious Sect, repeating his old tricks to purchase those materials.
Next.
He would have to wait patiently.
"During this ti."
"I might as well conclude the ’Qinling World’, break through Life Cultivation to the Second-order Soul Refining Realm. If there’s a chance to also push Qi Refinent and Spiritual Cultivation to the second order, all the better."
As this thought crossed Chen Jichuan’s mind, he once again entered the Qinling World.
...
Qinling World.
Six hundred years had passed in the blink of an eye.
During these six centuries, although Chen Jichuan primarily cultivated in the Great Hui World, he often spared ti to return to the Qinling World.
He originally departed from this world to await the arrival of a grand era, quietly anticipating the opportunity for a breakthrough. To Li Qingshan and Wang Yan, he claid it was ’Ice Sealed Sleep,’ but in reality, he had left the Qinling World to cultivate elsewhere.
But he was not foolish enough to stay away honestly for a full thousand years.
Without any care or maintenance.
If, by then, the glorious age of the Qinling World had passed, wouldn’t he be left slack-jawed upon his return?
Therefore.
Throughout these years, he had not completely abandoned the Qinling World but frequently revisited it.
On the one hand, for the reasons stated above—to ensure he wouldn’t miss the era where heroes erged and experts rose one after another.
On the other hand.
Breakthroughs made in the Great Hui World required progress in the Qinling World to keep up.
Over the course of these six hundred years, Chen Jichuan spent roughly twenty of them in this realm.
His cultivation had never fallen behind.

...
Looking at the ’Immortal Record’ panel, Chen Jichuan felt imnsely satisfied.
A journey to the Great Hui World.
The greatest gain had undoubtedly been unraveling the mysteries of advancing Life Cultivation to the second order, ready for promotion at any ti.
But beyond that.
The progress in cultivation techniques and techniques was also imnsely gratifying.
"Sword Map."
"Five Forms Eight Techniques Fist."
"Taiyin Refining Body Technique."
These three main cultivation techniques had all been enhanced to the side door level by Chen Jichuan, representing an all-encompassing improvent.
This was completed early in his journey through the Great Hui World.
It was precisely because of these superior cultivation techniques and solid foundations that Chen Jichuan could achieve invincibility within his realm in the Great Hui World, even capable of one-against-ten or one-against-a-hundred without falling behind.
With the blessing of the Divine Position, his cultivation progress was swift.
Chen Jichuan naturally wouldn’t waste the opportunity.
It wasn’t just about cultivation techniques.
After fortifying his three primary cultivation techniques, Chen Jichuan ticulously selected from his nurous practiced techniques, prioritizing the best for enhancent.
Initially, in the Qinling World, only one technique, ’Mystical Gate Skill,’ belonged to the high-level category.
After experiencing the Great Hui World, the number of high-level techniques at Chen Jichuan’s disposal had surged to eight.
Among them were ’old faces.’
For instance, Mystical Gate Skill.
He had obtained this from the Jade Spring World, and with the aid of Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice, it could seal cultivators in ice for a millennium without death.
For instance, Seven Elents Relieving Calamity Ruyi Tiangang Splitting Light Sword Technique.
This technique, also called the ’Seven-star Sword Diagram,’ was an auxiliary sword technique for "Sword Map". As "Sword Map" improved, the power of this technique rose in tandem.
Apart from these two techniques, the rest were ’new faces.’
However, the term ’new faces’ might be a bit misleading, as these were techniques familiar to Chen Jichuan, strengthened and fused anew.
For example, ’Little Four Nine Wind Thunder Escape thod.’
This escape thod was the result of fusing his previously practiced ’Wind Thunder Wings’ with newly acquired techniques ’Wind Escape’ and ’Thunder Escape’ in the Great Hui World.
Due to their similar nature, Chen Jichuan rged them into the ’Little Four Nine Wind Thunder Escape thod.’
Upon activation, this technique conjured wind and thunder, wrapping him in unparalleled speed.
Wind Thunder Wings sprouted from his back, and with a flap, wind and thunder surged, tearing through the void, breaking all restraints, enclosures, and seals.
It wasn’t just a travel escape thod but also a wonderful way to flee danger.
Incredible in power.
Having tasted the benefits of the ’Little Four Nine Wind Thunder Escape thod,’ Chen Jichuan then dedicated himself to the art of technique fusion.
During those years.
With ti to spare.
Chen Jichuan attempted to fuse nurous techniques, mostly taking a conservative approach by choosing techniques from similar or complentary fields to rge. The synthesized techniques often proved highly useful.
For instance, the ’Little Four Nine Wind Thunder Escape thod.’
And the ’Taiyin Primordial Magnetic Stealth Technique.’
This was derived from fusing the ’Taiyin Primordial Magnetic Escape Technique,’ a skill of the Taiyin lineage he found in the Great Hui World, with the ’Concealing Technique’ he had practiced in the past.
The Taiyin Primordial Magnetic Escape Technique was highly stealthy and soundless, capable of disrupting detection.
The Concealing Technique was unparalleled in hiding one’s figure and aura.
The fusion of the two.
Not only enabled swift, silent movent but also rendered traces nearly undetectable. Be it for escape or tracking, it was excellent.
The ’Little Four Nine Wind Thunder Escape thod’ could help break through enclosures with blazing speed.
Yet it created too much commotion, leaving tracks that powerful foes could latch onto relentlessly.
With the ’Taiyin Primordial Magnetic Stealth Technique,’ he could now mask his trail after shaking off pursuers, disappearing without a trace.
These two techniques complented each other perfectly, like a match made in heaven.
They served as escape, movent, and concealnt techniques.
In other words, vital life-saving arts.
Among the remaining high-level techniques——
The ’Three-in-One Indestructible Golden Light Body Protection Technique’ was another life-saving skill.
This rged the physical-body-based ’Golden Bell Shield Skill,’ Qi-based ’Protective Sword Shield,’ and soul-based ’Bright Light Soul Protection Technique’ into one. Essence, Qi, and soul fused as one, making its defense nearly impeccable.
The ’Blood Light Refraction Taiyin Divine Mirror Technique’ served as a skill for scouting and investigation.
This technique fused the ’Crystal Shadow Refraction Technique,’ ’Circular Light Skill,’ and elents from the Evil Path’s ’Blood Light Tracking thod’ and the Righteous Path’s ’Taiyin Divine Realm Technique’ he found in the Great Hui World.
It was optimal for tracking, monitoring, and inspecting the past.
...
"For offense, there’s the ’Five Thunders True Skill’ and ’Seven Elents Relieving Calamity Ruyi Tiangang Splitting Light Sword Technique.’
"For speed and stealth, there are ’Little Four Nine Wind Thunder Escape thod’ and ’Taiyin Primordial Magnetic Stealth Technique.’
"For protection, there’s the ’Three-in-One Indestructible Golden Light Body Protection Technique.’
"For investigation, there’s the ’Blood Light Refraction Taiyin Divine Mirror Technique.’"
Chen Jichuan studied the ’Immortal Record’ panel, consolidating his achievents over the years in the Great Hui World, feeling a surge of satisfaction.
For all these years, he had not simply buried himself in cultivation.
Cultivation was fundantal.
But these techniques served as ans to protect the Dao, equally indispensable. Without them, if calamity struck, even the highest cultivation would be in vain.
Looking at the technique and cultivation panels now.
They were nothing short of luxurious, imnsely pleasing to the eye.
Compared to the past, his abilities were worlds apart, incomparable to before.
"Once I bring these eight high-level techniques to mastery, even if I remain in the Qi Refinent Realm, I would still be able to challenge ordinary second-order cultivators."
Chen Jichuan felt a spark of eagerness in his heart.
However, regrettably.
Neither in the Great Hui World nor the Qinling World were there second-order practitioners.
As for reality——
...
"No rush."
"The Qinling World is drawing to an end. Once the Dao Fruit is ford, I can unlock a higher-tier Dao Fruit World. By then, there will surely be no shortage of second-order cultivators, giving plenty of opportunities to test myself in cross-realm battles."
Chen Jichuan suppressed the thoughts stirring in his heart.
He stepped out of the dusty courtyard, opened the door, and once again imrsed himself in the Qinling World.
...
Six hundred years passed in a flash.
It had been seven hundred sixty years since the Taixu Sword Sect unified the world.
Ti flowed relentlessly.
The world shifted and changed.
Six hundred years ago, after the three Nether Void Old Ancestors of the Taixu Sword Sect—Wang Shan, Li Qingshan, and Wang Yan—vanished from the scene, the entire Central Earth Seven States, while rife with covert turmoil, remained outwardly stable for nearly a century.
However.
As the prestige of the ’Taixu Three Ancestors’ gradually faded.
As the nurous Void and Entry Void experts of the West Sea departed.
The Taixu Sword Sect’s control and deterrence over the Central Earth Seven States swiftly waned. Various sects long buried in the shadows began to secretly expand and launch wave after wave of sches and retaliations.
How vast were the Central Earth Seven States?
The Taixu Sword Sect could not possibly control everything, naturally leading to chaos.
One rebellion after another left the Taixu Sword Sect stretched thin, revealing their waning strength.
Eventually.
Three hundred years ago.
The Guu Family of Huangtian City in Lingnan produced a new genius who achieved the ’Indestructible Seeing God’ state. With a single fist, they dominated Lingnan, leading the family’s secretly cultivated army of hundreds of thousands of Iron Armor troops to conquer Yongl State.
At the sa ti.
Lingnan’s Zhanzhou and Gaizhou, as well as Lingbei’s Yunzhou and Xuzhou, experienced varying degrees of upheaval, losing many counties and cities.
The unification of the realm achieved by the Taixu Sword Sect for four hundred years was finally shattered.
Since then.
The Taixu Sword Sect fell into a rapid decline.
Continuous wars led to the consecutive deaths of their elite experts.
Nurous rebellions caused the loss of territories one after another.
Amid three centuries of storm and strife.
The Taixu Sword Sect suffered defeat after defeat, decline upon decline.
To this day.
They were left with only a single Pengshan County.
Back to where they had started.
...
On this particular day.
Chen Jichuan road through Pengshan County, wandering from city to city, feeling as if the entire county was shrouded in twilight gloom.
A deadening stillness.
Decay and despair.
It was still the sa county.
But during the Taixu Sword Sect’s revival and ascension, it had been brimming with vitality, everything flourishing with life.
Now, however.
After three to four hundred years of glory followed by three to four hundred years of continuous decline, the sect had plunged from its zenith into an abyss. The morale of the entire Taixu Sword Sect had been battered and worn down to near extinction.
Even if the past ’Taixu Three Heroes’ were to grace this era, they might feel despondent.
Indeed.
Even if the three Nether Void Old Ancestors who rejuvenated the Taixu Sword Sect back then were to ’return from the dead,’ they could rely lant the futility of their efforts, powerless against the tide.
"In the chaotic era, Void Realm and God Realm experts erged one after another."
"Over ti, mighty figures like the Nether Void and the Indestructible Seeing God have made their appearances repeatedly."
"This troubled world truly is a stage for heroes to gather!"
Chen Jichuan sat in a teahouse in Fine Rain City, listening to Jianghu wanderers gossip about the various experts across the Seven States, thoughts swirling around the intelligence he had recently reviewed in countless records.
Both musing and filled with anticipation.
Over the years, he had frequently revisited the Qinling World, rarely lingering for too long but commanding a group of subordinates—among them Void and God Realm experts—tasked with gathering intelligence on the diverse factions and experts of the Qinling World.
Especially news about top-tier experts.
Thus, he was quite familiar with the leading figures of this era.
He had paid particular attention to a few rising stars, occasionally observing them in secret. He even quietly gifted cultivation treasures such as the Sword Stele left by the Sword Ancestor and the Pill Book Iron Certificate left by Emperor Yong to foster their growth.
His goal was to raise capable rivals who could stand against him.
This chaotic world was already teeming with gifted cultivators. With Chen Jichuan’s subtle interventions, the number of experts in the Central Earth Seven States had multiplied tenfold compared to seven hundred years ago!
"The ti is near."
"Once I capture the soul shadow, I can challenge the world’s top-tier experts, using the confrontation to refine the soul shadow in one decisive stroke, achieving the breakthrough to Life Dao Second-order Soul Refining Realm!"
A gleam of ambition flickered in Chen Jichuan’s eyes.
However, before he comnced his retreat, there remained one urgent matter to address—
