Once, Shi Xuan absorbed half of her energy in her space but only leveled up two times. At the time, she thought it was due to her natural talent.

But now it seems that "generally" is impossible. The only possibility is the latter.

One in a million, the one who could overcome so many difficulties to find her was indeed no ordinary person.

After five years, Shi Xuan finally succeeded in cultivating himself to the second level of the Nascent Soul stage.

The lightning tribulation did not strike; this was the void, a place where even lightning tribulation could not enter.

Shi Xuan guessed that if she returned to the cultivation world, the first thing she would do would be get struck by lightning.

Over the past five years, under Shi Xuan's force-feeding method, Zhao Cai has regained its former physique, even surpassing its previous size.

If ordinary cultivators need to reach the Void Refining Realm to break through the void, Shi Xuan can do it with his Nascent Soul Realm cultivation.

However, there is a problem: she will have to undergo a tribulation of lightning after she goes out. If she has used up most of her power to break through the void, she may not be able to withstand the attack of the tribulation of lightning after she goes out.

Shi Xuan glanced at Zhao Cai, who was happily playing with Hong Mao in the silver frost. Because of its merit in saving its master, Zhao Cai could eat whatever it wanted in the silver frost. In five years, it had become fat and strong, almost as if it couldn't fly.

Shi Xuan walked up to it and handed it a piece of precious spiritual plant from the herb garden. Seeing it eat it, he said, "You know, we've been in this void for quite a while now, shouldn't we go back?"

Zhao Cai blinked its little black bean eyes and nodded.

Shi Xuan continued, "Well, there must be a way to go back."

Zhao Cai nodded again.

Shi Xuan suggested gradually, "How about you open the door?"

Zhao Cai's little black bean stopped blinking, stared blankly at Shi Xuan for a moment, then turned around, turned its back to Shi Xuan, and ignored her.

Shi Xuan twitched her lips. This was because she couldn't bear to part with the fat she had gained up.

In the past, Shi Xuan would have threatened to make soup out of it, but now that Zhaocai's value has increased dramatically, it has been upgraded from an ornamental spirit pet to a lifesaver, and you can't make soup out of a lifesaver...

When coercion failed, Shi Xuan resorted to bribery.

"It's been a long time since we've had the sect's cold-dressed spirit grass..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Cai immediately turned around. The cold-dressed spirit grass at the Lianfeng Sword Sect's dining hall was Zhao Cai's favorite. In the past, whenever they were in the sect, Shi Xuan would take it to the dining hall and order a large bowl for it so it could eat its fill.

In the blink of an eye, it's been countless years since I last ate this.

Zhao Cai seemed somewhat tempted, shifting its fluffy bottom as if it wanted to turn around, but it was still hesitant.

Shi Xuan continued, adding, "This batch of Enlightenment Tree leaves looks like it'll be ready to use soon. I wonder if some birds will want to eat them."

Zhaocai wants to eat!

The round, chubby body of the lucky charm has already turned halfway around.

Shi Xuan continued, "There are quite a few leaves that can be eaten, but with such a large population here, who should get more?"

Zhao Cai suddenly perked up and turned around.

Those tiny black eyes were filled with the message, "Give me some!"

Shi Xuan revealed a triumphant smile and said with ill intent, "Having eaten so many Enlightenment Tree Leaves, opening a door isn't too much to ask, is it?"

Zhao Cai hesitated for a long time between expending its own spiritual power to open the door and eating the Enlightenment Tree Leaf. Finally, with the blessing of the cold-dressed Spirit Beard Grass, "eating" won out, and it nodded in agreement.

The wealth-bringing creature is stronger than it was five years ago, so opening the door this time will result in a much smaller loss of its spiritual power.

Shi Xuan used his spiritual power to protect Zhao Cai and brought it into the void. The strong winds here, even through the spiritual power shield, still blew Zhao Cai's white fur into the air.

Zhao Cai disliked the fierce wind terribly. So he immediately used all his strength to tear a crack in the void.

Based on past experience, this crack can only exist for a moment, and it will close in the blink of an eye.

Shi Xuan seized the opportunity and rushed out through the crack.

What lies on the other side of this rift, no one can say for sure.

Shi Xuan had made preparations before entering. He was wary of what other void might be inside, or what kind of high-level demon beast's lair might he have stumbled into.

But as it turns out, Zhao Cai's luck was actually quite good.

They did not encounter any strange dangers where they came from.

Shi Xuan glanced around at the surroundings; it seemed to be in a valley.

The valley is filled with crisscrossing trees and rocks. These trees are all ones that Shi Xuan recognizes and has seen before. So... this place... is actually back on the Qian Yuan Continent?

Moreover, this valley has a strange sense of familiarity to it...

Shi Xuan suddenly remembered that this place was indeed impressive; wasn't this the first scene she saw when she opened her eyes here?!

This place looks just like the back mountain of the Divine Cauldron Sect!

At this moment, Shi Xuan had no time to think further, as the tribulation clouds in the sky had already gathered.

The clouds of calamity grew thicker and thicker, almost covering the entire valley.

This is a tribulation of lightning for a Nascent Soul cultivator. Judging from Shi Xuan's Nascent Soul tribulation, the intensity of the attack must be considerable.

At this moment, everyone on the various peaks of the Divine Cauldron Sect watched with no surprise as their own protective mountain formations rose up once again.

Five years have passed, and the Lianfeng Sword Sect seems to have no end in sight, relentlessly harassing the Shending Sect.

It comes around every month for a few days, as punctual as a female cultivator's menstrual cycle.

In the very first year, they were often caught off guard, and the disciples of the sect were all in a panic.

However, in the following years, as people became more and more familiar with their behavior, they gradually stopped finding it strange.

The Lianfeng Sword Sect maintains a very precise control over its actions; they do not harm people, but are solely focused on destroying objects.

The main halls on each peak were all smashed.

Unfortunately, these individuals are not qualified to request the intervention of the reclusive ancestor. They only need to be more vigilant and activate the mountain-protecting formation in a timely manner.

This time, the elders on guard in the distance gave a signal, and the Divine Cauldron Sect's protective formation was activated.

Those from the Lianfeng Sword Sect who came to harass us saw the mountain-protecting formation activate from afar and left without looking back.

The sect leader's requirement was to fight until they activated their grand formation.

Once the formation was activated, the mission was complete.

The elders of the Divine Cauldron Sect were numb by this point. If the grand formation had been activated in vain, they would have continued advancing and fought until it was activated. If it hadn't been activated in vain, they would have already turned and left.

It's really incredibly annoying!

At this moment, dark tribulation clouds suddenly rose from the back mountain. They thought it was one of their disciples undergoing tribulation and no one paid any attention to it. However, this time the disciple undergoing tribulation seemed a little different, as the tribulation clouds looked a bit too thick.

At this moment, the calamity clouds were filled with anger.

How could someone have already reached the second level of the Nascent Soul stage and it didn't know?
