After Yan Beiliang and his group left, Purple Maple Forest returned to peace.

There were more than just these few Mahayana cultivators near Tiandu Peak that day, so the news that Xia Xiyue was seriously injured and fell from her cultivation level, and that Chu Tianyao was almost dead, still spread.

Although no sect from the Upper Realm dared to invade Purple Maple Forest, these sects also ceased paying tribute...

Xia Xiyue didn't care about this. She preferred quiet and didn't like dealing with people from other sects.

Chu Tianyao didn't care anymore, as the rare and precious materials in the Purple Maple Forest were enough for the group to cultivate.

In fact, during his travels in the Upper Realm, he did not use his power to force these sects to pay tribute.

This was entirely a spontaneous act by these sects in order to curry favor with Zifeng Forest and befriend Chu Tianyao...

Now that these people have stopped associating with Chu Tianyao, he is happy to have some peace and quiet.

In the days that followed, Chu Tianyao began to cultivate quietly.

The damage to the Great Dao is extremely severe, and the destruction of the soul will have endless consequences!

To completely eliminate these hidden dangers, years of self-care are required.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past decade, Chu Tianyao has steadily recovered to the fifth level of the Void Refinement Realm...

His spirit has also recovered to some extent!

Xia Xiyue's cultivation has recovered to the peak of the sixth level of the Mahayana Realm, and she is about to enter the seventh level of the Mahayana Realm.

Pei Yuhan also stepped into the sixth level of the Integration Realm.

The swordsmanship she created has become increasingly sophisticated...

Under Xia Xiyue's guidance, Xiao Ruoli also entered the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Coincidentally, the Nine Heavens Soaring Maple Technique of the Purple Maple Forest was extremely compatible with Xiao Ruoli's own Azure Dragon Purple Qi.

The environment of the Purple Maple Forest also made Xiao Ruoli feel that her cultivation was twice as effective with half the effort.

Therefore, it only took Xiao Ruoli ten years to go from the first level of the Nascent Soul Realm to the ninth level...

This breakthrough speed is already ridiculously fast!

......

Fifty years later, Chu Tianyao reached the third level of the Integration Realm.

This speed would be considered extremely fast by others, but for Chu Tianyao, who possessed the system... it seemed far too slow.

This is because Chu Tianyao did it consciously and deliberately.

He is not without a way to quickly return to the ninth level of the Mahayana realm, and even ascend to the highest level in one step is not impossible.

However, if we do that... then the Dao injury hidden within his body will become a permanent hidden danger!

Therefore, every time Chu Tianyao advances to a higher realm, he repairs the damage to his divine soul by tempering it.

While this method isn't as fast, it ensures that each minor realm is perfect and invincible...

Xia Xiyue also suffered damage to her origin, but she had a profound foundation.

His cultivation level has recovered to the seventh level of the Mahayana realm!

For decades, she has been in charge of overseeing the Purple Maple Forest...

Even though some sects were eyeing the Purple Maple Forest, Xia Xiyue dealt with them all easily.

Pei Yuhan's swordsmanship has almost reached its peak, and her realm has reached the ninth level of the Integration Realm.

Not long ago, while traveling the world, she encountered Ling Feng, the vice sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Ling Feng, who possessed the second level of the Mahayana realm, was attracted by Pei Yuhan's swordsmanship and proposed to spar.

The two fought a duel in the western desert, and after three thousand moves, neither could gain the upper hand.

A ninth-level Integration Realm cultivator battling a second-level Mahayana Realm cultivator is a rare occurrence throughout history.

From then on, Pei Yuhan became famous throughout the Upper Realm.

Xiao Ruoli also devoted herself to cultivation for fifty years and reached the sixth level of the Refining Void Realm.

She fused the Azure Dragon Purple Qi with the Nine Heavens Soaring Maple Technique...

He won first place in a sect competition for the Void Refinement Realm.

Feng Ruwo, the prodigy of the Fierce Blade Sect and a ninth-level Void Refinement Realm cultivator, couldn't withstand more than ten moves from Xiao Ruoli.

From then on, Chu Tianyao remained in a semi-secluded state.

However, the Purple Maple Forest is showing signs of becoming invincible once again!

......

Time flies, seventy years later...

Chu Tianyao, after years of hard work, broke through to the ninth level of the Integration Realm.

He has healed more than 90% of his previous injuries!

You must know that his soul had been bombarded by a celestial artifact... and suffered a fatal Dao injury.

Now, in just 130 years, the damage to the Dao has been almost completely eliminated.

Inside the cave, Chu Tianyao murmured to himself, "Phew... I'm only one step away from returning to the Mahayana realm."

"The system truly lives up to its name, its calculations are so precise... It will indeed take two hundred years to completely eliminate the Dao injury and return to the peak of the Mahayana Realm!"

Xia Xiyue's cultivation level has returned to the ninth level of the Mahayana realm, but her combat power has not yet reached its peak.

In order to save Chu Tianyao, she did damage the very essence of the Great Dao.

She is currently an absolute powerhouse in the Upper Realm, but there is still a considerable gap between her and her peak self.

Xia Xiyue had a good attitude towards this and showed no anxiety.

She knew very well that once Chu Tianyao returned to the Mahayana Realm... the two of them could cultivate together again!

At that time, what injury won't be cured by medicine?

Pei Yuhan has reached the second level of the Mahayana realm, making her one of the absolute strongest beings in the Upper Realm.

Including Xia Xiyue, there are no more than ten people in the entire Shangzhen Realm who can defeat Pei Yuhan.

Given time, Pei Yuhan, with her unparalleled swordsmanship, may be able to surpass Xia Xiyue!

Xiao Ruoli's cultivation also progressed by leaps and bounds. Seventy years of cultivation had made her a powerful expert at the third level of the Integration Realm.

It should be noted that a cultivator at the Integration Realm is already considered a powerful figure in the Upper True Realm.

It only took Xiao Ruoli 130 years to go from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Integration Realm.

In addition, Ye Linyuan broke through to the first level of the Void Refinement Realm ten years ago.

It took Ye Linyuan more than a hundred years to go from ascending to the True Realm to breaking through to the Refining Void Realm.

This speed is certainly not comparable to that of the people in Purple Maple Forest, but it is enough to attract the attention of sects in the Upper Realm.

Later, Ye Linyuan was accepted as an inner disciple by the Heavenly Sword Sect.

After ten years of cultivation at the Heavenly Sword Sect, he broke through to the third level of the Void Refinement Realm.

Pei Yuhan then learned that her master had also ascended to the True Realm, something Chu Tianyao had never mentioned to her before.

Pei Yuhan left the Purple Maple Forest and met with Ye Linyuan.

Faced with Pei Yuhan, who was at the second level of the Mahayana Realm, Ye Linyuan remained silent for a long time.

After a long while, he slowly said, "Yuhan truly deserves to be called a peerless genius; she has already left me far behind."

Pei Yuhan, grateful for Ye Linyuan's past kindness in raising her, imparted all her sword skills and insights to him.

She even suggested inviting Ye Linyuan to live and cultivate in the Purple Maple Forest.

However, Xia Xiyue rejected this suggestion.

Xia Xiyue stated that only Chu Tianyao, a man, could stay in the Purple Maple Forest...

Ye Linyuan did not pursue the matter further.

He expressed his gratitude to the people of Zifenglin and reconciled with Chu Tianyao over a cup of wine.

In fact, Ye Linyuan and Chu Tianyao are no longer on the same level at all.

However, out of respect for Pei Yuhan, Chu Tianyao still gave Ye Linyuan enough respect.
