Another seventy years have passed...

Chu Tianyao returned to his peak and once again stepped into the ninth level of the Mahayana Realm.

Furthermore, during the two hundred years of soul tempering, his Dao injuries were completely healed!

Chu Tianyao's combat strength is now even greater than before...

The first thing Chu Tianyao did after fully recovering was to carry Xia Xiyue into the cave.

Inside the cave dwelling, there was a beautiful and serene scene.

Chu Tianyao said softly, "Master Xiyue... I've come to heal your wounds!"

Xia Xiyue removed her cloud-patterned dress and intertwined her fingers with Chu Tianyao's. "Mmm... thank you for your hard work, Tianyao..."

......

Ten days and ten nights in total...

When Xia Xiyue stepped out of the cave, her cultivation had fully recovered to its peak state.

The Yin-Yang Evolution Heaven Technique is ultimately a peerless skill. When Chu Tianyao's soul is intact, he can use this technique to heal Xia Xiyue's Dao injury.

Seventy years later, Pei Yuhan had mastered the art of swordsmanship.

He entered the Dao through stillness, thus beginning a brand new path in swordsmanship...

Pei Yuhan's cultivation level has reached the sixth level of the Mahayana realm!

Not long ago, she had a sword duel with Yan Beiliang, the sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect, at Tiandu Peak...

After three thousand moves, Yanbei Liang was defeated!

At this point, Pei Yuhan was already extremely powerful.

If we exclude Chu Tianyao, she would already rank among the top three strongest individuals in the entire Shangzhen Realm.

After healing Xia Xiyue's Dao injuries, Chu Tianyao invited Pei Yuhan into his cave to discuss Dao...

During this time, Chu Tianyao completely dissected his martial arts techniques to Pei Yuhan.

"Yuhan... what do you think of my unique skills?"

After pondering for a moment, Pei Yuhan said, "My husband's combat skills are extremely extensive. He is proficient in all kinds of swordsmanship, spear techniques, archery, and fist techniques.

"These combat techniques are all top-notch... enough to be decisively lethal against opponents of the same level."

"But... if everything is powerful, it also means that nothing is powerful enough! My husband may need a strongest ultimate move to protect himself."

Chu Tianyao remained silent. "The strongest ultimate move? All my martial arts techniques are products of the system. Their killing power is unparalleled... and these moves can be upgraded as my cultivation level increases!"

"The Heaven-Shaking Fist that I comprehended in the Golden Core Realm has grown along with me. At this point, it is powerful enough to kill a Mahayana Realm expert!"

“But Yuhan’s words also make some sense! When I faced Ji Hao that day, all my moves were completely useless... Although this was related to the difference in cultivation level, if I had a stronger killing move, the result might have been different.”

"After I ascend to the Immortal Realm, I will devote myself to researching one or two ultimate techniques."

Chu Tianyao observed Pei Yuhan's swordsmanship and offered some comments...

Afterwards, the two discussed Taoism in the cave for ten days.

During this time, Chu Tianyao posed a probing question to Pei Yuhan: "Yuhan... what were you thinking when you planned to let Ye Linyuan stay in Purple Maple Forest?"

Pei Yuhan's cheeks flushed slightly. "Hmm~ What's wrong... are you jealous..."

Her features were exquisitely beautiful, and her tender gaze revealed a touch of shyness. Her lips parted slightly, a half-smile playing on her lips, her allure natural and captivating, inspiring tenderness and affection in all who beheld her.

It's hard to imagine that such a cold and aloof female swordswoman would reveal such a charming and shy side in front of Chu Tianyao.

"Ye Linyuan...is, after all, my master...I want him to have a place to stay..."

As she spoke, Pei Yuhan's voice trembled more and more.

Clearly, she was completely outmatched in this debate...

Chu Tianyao looked at Pei Yuhan, who was downwind, and quickened the pace of his teaching!

"Everyone in the Purple Maple Forest except me is a peerless beauty, including you, you are all my women!"

"What kind of thing is it to let another man move in? I don't have a penchant for wearing hats! Luckily, Xiyue was sensible and refused... otherwise I would have had to beat Ye Linyuan away."

Pei Yuhan's breathing quickened, and she couldn't help but let out a soft moan...

She was too stressed to speak.

She was instantly drenched in sweat, and raised her snow-white arm to shield herself.

Ten days later, Pei Yuhan walked out of Chu Tianyao's cave, utterly exhausted...

After ten days of discussions with Chu Tianyao, Pei Yuhan was clearly exhausted!

Even the way he walks has become a little strange!

She pouted and whispered, "What a stingy man..."

......

Over these seventy years, Xiao Ruoli has also made rapid progress!

She has already become a powerful expert at the ninth level of the Integration Realm.

Xiao Ruoli has been an invincible player among those of the same realm since she descended to the True Realm...

Now, she can challenge cultivators in the early stages of the Mahayana realm!

Chu Tianyao summoned her into his cave dwelling...

Xiao Ruoli entered the cave, but her face was as cold as frost.

This attitude left Chu Tianyao somewhat bewildered. He couldn't help but tease her, "Your Majesty, has I done something wrong to make you angry?"

Xiao Ruoli rolled her eyes at him. "You don't know?"

Chu Tianyao smiled wryly, "I don't know..."

“Hehe…” Xiao Ruoli poured herself a cup of tea. “You called out to Fairy Xiyue first, then to Sword Immortal Pei… and only then did you think of me.”

"Chu Tianyao, do you really think of me as a nobody?!"

"Ruoli... what are you thinking?" Chu Tianyao was a little flustered by the rebuke. He hurriedly explained, "Xiyue and the others have higher cultivation levels. I've only just recovered to my peak... I was afraid that I might not have controlled my strength well and caused internal injuries to the fairies."

Xiao Ruoli's face flushed red upon hearing this!

She bit her red lips and whispered, "You rascal..."

Chu Tianyao chuckled and picked up Xiao Ruoli. "Your Majesty, I've come to assist you in your cultivation..."

Ten days later...

Xiao Ruoli broke through from the ninth level of the Integration Realm to the first level of the Mahayana Realm.

From that moment on, she officially stood among the top powerhouses of the Upper Realm.

Chu Tianyao smiled and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty on advancing to the Mahayana Realm. It seems that you only need to cultivate with me a few more times, and your ascension to immortality will be just around the corner!"

"Pah...you lecherous scoundrel!" Xiao Ruoli was secretly delighted, but on the surface she feigned anger. "Your cultivation technique is so special, I wonder how many fairies you'll harm in the future!"

"What Ruoli said is true..." Chu Tianyao chuckled, "It's just that Ruoli's physique is so compatible with my cultivation technique that she was actually able to break through her cultivation level..."

"Speaking of which, Ruoli and I, this lecherous fellow, are truly a match made in heaven!"

Xiao Ruoli sighed softly and took Chu Tianyao's hand. "Husband... I can't argue with you. Please don't bully me anymore..."

Chu Tianyao couldn't help but smile. "How did I...bully you?"

“How can you always talk about something like this…” Xiao Ruoli lowered her head. “It would be so embarrassing for a girl to break through her cultivation level in this way.”
