Finally, with one last sigh of unwillingness, the last bit of black qi dissipated.
Chen Yan did not step forward imdiately. He watched quietly as the black qi completely dissipated, then nodded and said softly, "Your talent is indeed remarkable. In this world, you were able to cultivate to the Ascension Realm and even reach the stage of breaking the tribulation with such an incomplete Cultivation Technique. This kind of talent is truly astonishing."
He stood still, his fingers shooting out two Finger Swords at the tree trunk. Though there was no visible movent, he patiently waited for a full ten minutes.
Finally, Chen Yan slowly walked to the tree trunk, reaching out his hand. A [Six Yang Righteous Qi Talisman] was imbued with Primordial Qi and hit the tree trunk!
This ti, a flash of golden light flickered and disappeared, but the tree trunk had no reaction.
Only then did Chen Yan confirm: this unknown old ghost cultivator was finally gone.
With this confirmation, Chen Yan’s heart relaxed, his energy exhausted, and he sat down under the tree with a plop!
He had fought fiercely all night, suffering nurous injuries. At this mont, his whole body was aching, and the pain from several injuries was excruciating.
Leaning heavily against the tree trunk, Chen Yan finally let his mind relax.
From the [Octagonal Alchemy Furnace] hanging around his neck, he took out a gourd and poured out a [Bone Pill] given by the old fox You Su Yi, placing it in his mouth.
Chen Yan chewed the elixir hard, imdiately feeling a surge of Primordial Qi, mixed with a rich dicinal fragrance, enter his stomach!
He couldn’t help but sigh comfortably.
With the elixir in his stomach, he did not dare to waste a bit of its dicinal power, maneuvering his Primordial Qi quickly to digest the elixir. He then felt streams of warm Primordial Qi, infused with dicinal power, washing over his body, from head to toe, and back again, repeatedly.
This process was like standing under a hot shower, with water cascading over him...
After sitting for about ten minutes, Chen Yan looked down at his body. His chest, shoulders, arms, abdon, legs...
All the injuries from tonight had healed quickly, but... the skin around the wounds was still a light pink, indicating that full recovery would take more ti.
However, the weakness from the injuries had dissipated by seventy to eighty percent.
Leaning against the tree trunk, Chen Yan looked up at the distant sky — a sliver of light had already appeared in the eastern horizon.
Tonight’s fierce battle was Chen Yan’s first ti facing an opponent stronger than himself — an Ascension Realm!
Even though it was a weakling of the Ascension Realm in this world, lacking in attack techniques and with an incomplete Cultivation Technique.
And having lost its physical body, it could only reside in the weak old man’s body!
But... a weakling of the Ascension Realm was still an Ascension Realm... Chen Yan felt a thrill in his heart.
I defeated an Ascension Realm opponent!
Whether by taking advantage or through sches.
In the end, I defeated an Ascension Realm!
During the battle, there were at least three tis when Chen Yan wanted to take out the [Formless Tribulation-breaking Slash] talisman!
And twice, he wanted to use the [Divine Descent Talisman]!
Chen Yan was certain that if he had used either of these talismans earlier, tonight’s battle would have ended much sooner, and he would not have suffered these injuries.
But... in the end, he did not use them.
"Young Lady Gu was right, she will eventually leave, I can’t always rely on her."
Chen Yan sighed.

"Lord Venerable has imparted such excellent Cultivation Techniques, Talisman Arts, and Spells to you... but during the days I’ve been with you, I’ve noticed your cultivation is quite lackluster. You spend very little ti practicing and even less energy studying spells.
Do you know, in the Domain Realm, if soone were to receive the absolute techniques and spells taught by Lord Venerable, they would go mad with effort, forsaking food and sleep to tirelessly study them."
In his mind, Chen Yan recalled Gu Qingyi’s expression when she said these words to him that day.
That day, Chen Yan didn’t have much reaction.
But...
He had taken it to heart.
So this ti, before coming to Port City, he had already made a decision in his heart.
On this trip, unless faced with life and death, he would not use Gu Qingyi’s talismans!
Of course, if he were truly on the brink of death, he would use them. But...
He also wanted to put in his own effort to fight.

After resting under the tree for a while, Chen Yan stood up again, determined the direction, and headed towards the dilapidated little building...
"Actually, I’m pretty amazing already, right..."
