If this pace continues, it will only be a matter of time before Shao Lingyun breaks through to the Golden Immortal Realm.

Once one enters the Golden Immortal Realm, one can control the Immortal King-level artifact, the Star River Boundless Boat.

This will make Shao Lingyun's combat power completely different.

A Golden Immortal who possesses a Celestial King-level Celestial Artifact is practically invincible in the Fifth Celestial Realm.

However, Shao Lingyun was still discovered!

Even though she tried to keep a low profile, a passing Golden Immortal still noticed something amiss.

This Golden Immortal is named Duanmu Shisi, and he possesses the combat power of a third-level Golden Immortal.

Moreover, Duanmu Shisi possesses a Golden Immortal-level immortal artifact, the Insight Disc.

The Disc of Insight looks like a compass, but it contains the ability to see through illusions!

With the Insight Compass, Duanmu Shisi was able to detect the whereabouts of most immortal artifacts...

Of course, this only applies to immortal artifacts of the Golden Immortal level and below.

Therefore, when many immortal sects besieged the Bilan Immortal Sect, although Duanmu Shisi was also present, he did not find any clues about the Star River Boundless Boat.

In fact, if Duanmu Shisi hadn't discovered the hidden Shao Lingyun, he wouldn't have been able to detect the movements of the Star River Boundless Boat either.

Using the Insight Disc, Duanmu Shisi recognized Shao Lingyun's identity and began to hunt her down.

For a Golden Immortal at the third level to hunt down a Celestial Immortal at the sixth level is an incredibly easy task.

However, Duanmu Shisi pursued Shao Lingyun for three whole months!

The reason is simple: the Star River Boundless Ship possesses the ability to traverse the void...

It's also because Shao Lingyun's cultivation level is insufficient; otherwise, she could have directly traveled to the River of Time in a small boat!

In a certain instant in the past, Duanmu Shisi was killed instantly.

The Celestial Realm was insufficient to control the Boundless Star River Boat, but it could barely propel it to traverse the void...

However, Shao Lingyun consumes a great deal of her immortal essence every time she uses a Celestial King-level immortal artifact.

However, Duanmu Shisi was able to use the Insight Disc to track Shao Lingyun's location.

The two chased and fled, covering almost the entire Fifth Immortal Realm.

Shao Lingyun was only at the Celestial Immortal Realm after all...

When she arrived in "Shattered Cloud City" this time, she had almost exhausted all of her immortal energy.

"Damn Duanmu Shisi, he's been chasing me so relentlessly... he's like a persistent ghost!"

Shao Lingyun cursed angrily and surged towards the crowd in Shattered Cloud City.

Duanmu Shisi, thousands of miles away, followed the direction of the Insight Disc and locked onto the direction of Shattered Cloud City.

He transformed into a rainbow and rushed towards this place at top speed!

......

One hundred days passed in the blink of an eye.

Chu Tianyao breathed a sigh of relief. "System, calculate the immortal essence you've gained."

"Ding! It has been detected that the host has accumulated one hundred days of cultivation within a Celestial Immortal-level immortal cave, gaining Immortal Essence Points!"

"Ding! Current remaining Immortal Essence Points!"

"The host's current cultivation level is the third level of the Celestial Immortal Realm!"

"You currently have enough Immortal Essence Points to advance your cultivation level... (Each advancement in the Celestial Immortal Realm requires Immortal Essence Points.)"

"Ding! Immortal Essence Points have been automatically converted into cultivation level..."

"Current cultivation level is the ninth level of the Celestial Immortal Realm! Remaining Immortal Essence Points: [number]".

As soon as the system's voice fell, Chu Tianyao felt that his soul and immortal body had undergone earth-shattering changes!

His divine will began to move towards perfection!

The immortals in the Celestial Realm all possess a Heavenly Heart.

However, the degree of perfection of the Heavenly Heart varies, and the functions it plays are completely different.

Chu Tianyao's Heavenly Heart has reached perfection, and he can completely suppress the Heavenly Hearts of other Heavenly Immortals.

His body also underwent a tremendous change; his flawless immortal physique began to emit a faint golden light...

These golden lights are not ordinary; they contain strong immortal marks, which are the prototype of the Great Luo Golden Body.

With the blessing of the Yin-Yang Chaos Body, Chu Tianyao, who is at the ninth level of the Celestial Immortal Realm, has already possessed the strength of a half-step Golden Immortal.

"With my current strength, if I were to fight the burly immortal from the Sixth Immortal Domain again... the odds would be 70/30."

The system voice sounded again...

"Current cultivation level is Celestial Immortal Realm, Ninth Level! Remaining Immortal Essence Points: [Number]. The current Immortal Essence Points are insufficient to advance to a higher realm. (Advancing from Celestial Immortal Realm, Ninth Level, to Golden Immortal Realm, First Level, requires [Number] Immortal Essence Points.)"

Chu Tianyao nodded secretly. "Does it take 500 million immortal essence points to advance from the Celestial Immortal Realm to the Golden Immortal Realm...?"

"The amount of immortal energy consumed is outrageous... If I could continue to cultivate in the immortal cave in the Celestial Immortal Realm, that would be fine."

"But the 100-day lease is about to expire. I'm running out of immortal crystals and immortal essence. It's time to leave seclusion and go somewhere else to think of a solution!"

And so, Chu Tianyao slowly rose and walked out of this celestial-level immortal cave.

When he walked out of the cave, the receptionist from the Celestial Realm was filled with disbelief!

He was stunned...

"When Chu Tianyao went in, he was only at the third level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. How did he reach the ninth level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm in just one hundred days?!"

"This is outrageous! In our Celestial Realm cultivation, it takes tens of thousands of years to break through a single realm."

"This Chu Tianyao crossed six realms in just one hundred days?! Wow, this kind of thing is unheard of, not to mention in the Fifth Immortal Domain... even in the Fourth Immortal Domain and the Third Immortal Domain."

"Those Immortal Kings are considered extremely rare geniuses even in the Immortal Realm. But even among Immortal Kings, it is extremely unheard of for someone to break through six realms in a hundred days while still in the Celestial Immortal Realm."

The immortal who was receiving Chu Tianyao looked at him and couldn't help but ask, "Fellow immortal, may I ask how you did that...?"

Chu Tianyao smiled faintly, "It's nothing, I was just a little lucky."

Seeing that Chu Tianyao was unwilling to elaborate, the immortal who received him did not press further.

Stepping out of his immortal abode, Chu Tianyao strolled through Shattered Cloud City...

He dispersed his divine senses and gained a clearer perception of his surroundings.

"Hmm... After achieving the Heavenly Heart Perfection, my perception has become much stronger. I deliberately avoid Golden Immortal level immortals to avoid attracting their attention."

"As for celestial beings, I can detect their movements almost silently."

"Hmm? This aura is... Shao Lingyun!"

Chu Tianyao stared in surprise at a celestial being in the distance. The person had long, flowing black hair, skin as smooth as jade, and eyes like stars.

Who else could it be but Shao Lingyun?

"When Shao Lingyun ascended to immortality, she was only at the half-immortal realm... How did she achieve the celestial immortal realm in just over two hundred years?"
