Shen Yuan could feel that during the month of seclusion, the concentration of Yuan Qi between heaven and earth was increasing.

After all, Damen Yuanqi is no longer the mainstream way of cultivation in the Xuanhuang Realm. In the future, it may gradually return to its peak state during the spiritual energy tide, but it will never be able to reproduce the ancient way.

Although Shen Yuan felt regretful, he did not dwell on it too much.

The way of refining Qi is already enough for him now. If he were to expect more, it would be a bit too greedy.

After finishing the meal, Shen Yuan sat leisurely under the jujube tree and tasted the spiritual tea, while Gong Buyu continued to comprehend the "Taiyin Ningzhen Breathing Method" on the side. The starry sky Bodhi transformed by the Saint Enlightenment Array continued to send down spiritual light to accelerate Gong Buyu's understanding.

Since the cold Qi of Sui Mu Tian Qi from breathing today had reached its limit, Gong Buyu did not practice breathing exercises, but instead felt the mystery of the exercises.

The full moon was still hanging high in the sky, and the cold weather was slowly gathering under its clear and cool moonlight, but its impact on the entire courtyard environment was gradually weakening.

Although snowflakes are still falling in the cold weather at the end of the year, there is no biting cold that would sever life. There is still vitality flowing between the jujube trees and the green vines, forming a system of its own.

This means that Shen Yuan's control over the rules of heaven and earth woven by Yuan Qi is gradually increasing.

As the master of the original method of refining Qi, as long as the evolution of the Yuan Qi in this secret courtyard continues, Shen Yuan will be able to obtain stronger feedback from it.

As a Taoist type of Tiangang method, it ultimately needs to be used in conjunction with supernatural powers in order to understand its true meaning.

Shen Yuan was sipping tea while appreciating the details.

Bai Xue, who had been sticking to Shen Yuan, had lost the enthusiasm they had just met and was running back and forth in the courtyard, trying to stretch out her white gloved little paws to catch the hexagonal snowflakes.

However, as soon as the claws touched it, the snowflakes melted immediately, but Snow White still jumped up and down excitedly and never got tired of it.

Shen Yuan followed Bai Xue's jumping and running with his eyes. After casually glancing at the environment in the courtyard, Shen Yuan was suddenly stunned and thought of another thing.

This secret courtyard has undergone several space expansions and now occupies a relatively large area, but the houses in the courtyard are still the same as the original ones.

Apart from Shen Yuan's bedroom, kitchen, living room, and a separate training room on the first floor, there are no other rooms. The second floor is a study and utility room.

Gong Buyu stayed here for a month. How did he live during this month?

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan's eyes fell on Gong Buyu who was standing aside. His sight immediately awakened Gong Buyu who was originally in the process of comprehending the technique. He quickly stood up and said:

"Master, do you have any instructions?"

Shen Yuan shook his head and said casually, "It's not a big deal, no need to panic.

I just want to know which room you have been resting in for the past month?"

Upon hearing this, Gong Buyu said respectfully:

"Reporting to Master, I dare not enter other rooms without Master's order. I have been practicing in this courtyard for the past month."

Shen Yuan frowned slightly, but finally sighed and said:

"Since you have already accepted me as your master, there is no need to be too restrained. You can freely enter and exit the rooms in this courtyard except my bedroom. As for the second floor."

Shen Yuan suddenly thought of the Electronic Sutra Library on the second floor, which had only one computer. He even changed the wallpaper of the computer to include the words "Electronic Sutra Library".

It's okay to make this thing for fun, but if your own disciples really see it, it will damage your image as a master.

Shen Yuan's mouth twitched slightly and he changed his words:

"Some things are stored on the second floor, so it is temporarily closed."

Gong Buyu responded softly: "Yes!"

However, in this case, there was no room for Gong Buyu to live in the courtyard, which was no different from before.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan looked up at the gloomy full moon in the sky.

"I was in seclusion in a hurry and didn't prepare a training room for you. I will take care of it today."

After he finished speaking, Shen Yuan tapped the stone table lightly with his index finger and uttered a command.

"point!"

The space in the secret courtyard shook, and then the space between heaven and earth seemed to be split into two, and the cold full moon slowly fell to the earth.

The rules of heaven and earth woven by Yuan Qi fell along with the full moon and fell into the courtyard silently.

The green vines on the corridor stretched out vines and weaved into the outline of a room. The jujube tree swayed gently and its leaves continued to fall to decorate the house. After just a moment, a separate room was completed in the courtyard, just below Shen Yuan's training room.

The cold full moon was hanging in the room after being shrunk countless times. The seemingly small room contained a vast universe. The moonlight spread out and evolved the rules of heaven and earth at the end of the year, covering the entire room.

Although it is just a house, it claims to be a small secret place.

Even though she already had a certain understanding of her master's magical powers, the fact that he could create a small secret realm with just a wave of his hand still shocked her.

"This is where you practice."

"Due to the fact that this space is a bit crude, if you are successful in your practice in the future, I can open up another blessed land for you outside the Xuanhuang Realm as a place of practice."

Shen Yuan's words were understated, but they were by no means false.

During this month, he studied not only the Nine Breaths to Subdue the Qi Great Power.

Shen Yuan has already comprehended most of the enlightenment of the Hutian magical power that Gong Buyu gave as a gift to his disciple.

Although the former sect leader had cultivated the Hutian Divine Ability to the highest level and was a great figure who had attained the status of a terrestrial immortal and was in charge of a cave heaven, the book on the comprehension of the Hutian Divine Ability was ultimately just a secret method to guide Gong Buhuo into the door of enlightenment, and there were not many profound insights into the Hutian Divine Ability recorded in it.

But even so, Shen Yuan made great progress in his Hutian magical power, and he even had the hope of entering the third level of magical power and reaching the pinnacle.

By then, Shen Yuan will be fully qualified to occupy a blessed land, rely on the blessed land to exert a strength far beyond his own, and become a pseudo-earth immortal.

If one enters the fourth realm and is blessed with a higher level of cultivation, it will not be difficult to open up a blessed land.

Although Shen Yuan's Hutian magical power has not yet fully entered the third realm, his understanding of the Hutian magical power also allows Shen Yuan to weave space at will by relying on the secret realm and cave.

Even in the spatially stable Xuanhuang Realm, it is sufficient to use various spatial means such as space shocks, dimensional cracks, and small-scale space displacement.

It can be said that Shen Yuan's magical power of creating space, Hutian, finally possesses the power of attack. Once he finds an opportunity, he can even threaten the True Man Lianshen.

The tyranny of spatial attributes does not care whether your method of self-defense is the power of Yin God or the Dharma image of Yang God.

Gong Buyu naturally didn't know the key point, so he immediately gathered his thoughts, bowed to Shen Yuan and responded:

"Thank you very much, Master, for giving me the secret room for cultivation. I will definitely practice diligently in the future and live up to Master's high expectations."

"There is no need to rush in spiritual practice, just proceed step by step."

"Thank you very much for your guidance, Master."

Shen Yuan nodded, and then asked: "Has Xue Mingzhi come here these days?"

Gong Buyu said softly:

"Xue Mingzhi's uncle once came to visit you and mentioned that Xue Mingzhi has been concentrating on practicing in seclusion to break through the Qi training realm."

Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and chuckled:

"It seems that he is not far from the Qi training realm. During this retreat, I have also prepared a magical inheritance suitable for him. Whether he can get it depends on his luck."

After coming out of retreat today, I first gave Gong Buyu a spell, and then opened up a small secret realm. It took a lot of energy. Of course, this was a reward for Gong Buyu, a satisfactory disciple, but it also confirmed the gains after this retreat. Now that the confirmation is over, I need to rest for a while.

Shen Yuan stood up and walked slowly towards the small attic in the courtyard. Gong Buyu bowed softly behind him and said:

"Farewell, Master!"

Back in the attic room, the bedroom was no different from a month ago.

Although Gong Buyu did not enter the room, he cast a purification spell outside the room, so the room remained clean and tidy.

Shen Yuan secretly said, "That's thoughtful." After sitting in the room, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed completely.

Although he gained a lot from the practice in this month, it was not easy, especially some of the key points within the Nine Breaths to Subdue the Qi Great Power. If it were not for the continuous spiritual light from the Starry Sky Bodhi, Shen Yuan would not be able to comprehend the mysteries at all.

After coming out of retreat, Shen Yuan must maintain the unfathomable demeanor of a supreme Taoist in front of Gong Buyu.

Although Shen Yuan felt that even if he revealed his true character, Gong Buyu would not have any doubts.

But the ancestor Gong who lived for ten thousand years in Rongcheng Dayutian was once a member of Luoyun Sect, and Gong Buyu was also his legitimate daughter.

Shen Yuan couldn't guarantee that some of the problems he exposed would not be noticed by Patriarch Gong, so he could only continue to maintain the demeanor of the Supreme Taoist.

This isn't a tiring thing, but it is quite draining on the mind.

He shook his head gently, temporarily putting aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

Shen Yuan is now only one step away from reaching the peak of Qi Refining, and the great way of Qi Refining introduced by the Nine Breaths to Subdue Qi supernatural power will allow Shen Yuan to continue to climb upward.

It can be said that Shen Yuan has already stood at the pinnacle of this world.

"We can't take it lightly. If we strip Jidu Dragon Palace of its sacred way, Jidu Dragon Palace will be unable to take action in a short period of time and can still remain safe.

But once the Jidu Dragon Palace is free, and the rules of heaven and earth are gradually complete and can accommodate the arrival of cave heaven masters, it will inevitably bring a series of troubles. "

“Although the Great Xia court appears to be close to me, if my true cultivation level is exposed, there is no guarantee that the Great Xia court will not have other ideas.

The Great Xia court does not have a cave-heaven expert, but since it is able to control the world, it must have a backup plan, so we need to be careful and vigilant. "

“In addition, in many events in the Yunfu Mountains and Jidu Dragon Palace, there was someone secretly pushing them forward, but their actions were too covert to be detected.

If not for the fact that a little secret was revealed after the Dao Conference, and I had used the remnants of the Lord of Shinto to detect the secret plot, maybe we would still be in the dark until now."

"Finally, this is the most important point."

In Shen Yuan's mind, there faintly emerged the boundless malice that suddenly emerged from the darkness when he was refining the Nine Breaths and Subduing Qi supernatural power that day.

Shen Yuan had never seen such a powerful and tangible evil. If he was a low-level cultivator who was practicing in seclusion, he might even be directly overwhelmed by the evil and go insane.

Shen Yuan had no idea where the malice came from, but combined with the coincidental timing of refining the Nine Breaths Subduing Qi supernatural power, Shen Yuan could be sure that it must be related to the Nine Breaths Subduing Qi supernatural power.

“The Tiangang Great Divine Power is not an offensive Tiangang Great Divine Power, but a Dao Divine Power that points directly to the Great Dao of the Heavenly Venerable. It is indeed possible that it will attract the malicious intent of a powerful enemy.

It is just unclear where this great enemy is and what kind of strength he still has."

Various thoughts flashed through Shen Yuan's mind.

Now that he has refined the Nine Breaths to Subdue the Qi great magical power, it is impossible for Shen Yuan to give up the Tiangang method just because of a malicious intent.

Now, all Shen Yuan can do is to improve his strength as quickly as possible so that he will have enough confidence to face any malicious intent.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan couldn't help but rub his brows and sighed:

"It seems that even after acquiring the Tiangang Method, I still cannot completely relax. The road to cultivation is long and difficult."

Sighing in his heart, Shen Yuan turned on the artificial intelligence system that he hadn't used for a month.

At the beginning, Shen Yuan used the Dao Discussion Conference to complete the main task of the Sect Competition, but the Jidu Dragon Palace acted quickly afterwards, leaving Shen Yuan with no time to claim the task rewards for the Sect Competition.

The first thing he did after returning from seclusion was to set his sights on the Nine Breaths to Subdue the Qi Divine Ability, and he almost completely forgot about the mission rewards of the sect competition.

Opening the task interface, Shen Yuan casually clicked on the reward collection, and a jade slip and a token fell into Shen Yuan's hands.

The jade slip turned out to be the Luoyun Sect's secret book "Taixu Refining Spirit Method", which was the basic reward for the sect's competition mission. Shen Yuan just glanced through it and put it aside.

The current rules of heaven and earth do not allow a breakthrough into the Spirit Transformation Realm, so the value of the "Taixu Spirit Refining Method" cannot be brought into play for the time being and is of little use.

Compared to the "Taixu Soul Refining Method", Shen Yuan was more concerned about another reward for the sect competition.

Since Shen Yuan was completely unable to organize a true sect competition, the only method he could think of was to use the conference to complete the task by using a chicken and eggs. However, he never expected that the sect competition mission would be accidentally upgraded to a martial arts competition among all sects.

The reward for exceeding the main mission is the Tianyuan Secret Order.

Shen Yuan looked at the Tianyuan secret order in his hand. The black token was branded with a hint of gold, which made it look luxurious and extraordinary.

On the front of the Tianyuan Secret Order, a simple carving with just a few strokes outlined a collapsed mountain like a pillar of heaven. Just looking directly at the mountain made Shen Yuan feel a suffocating sense of oppression.

On top of the collapsed mountain, two ancient characters filled with the rhyme of Tao were engraved on it. Shen Yuan slowly read from left to right:

"Tian, ​​Yuan?"

The next moment, Shen Yuan only felt the token in his hand tremble slightly, and a golden light instantly swallowed him up.

It seemed like ten thousand years had passed, yet it also seemed like a flash. When Shen Yuan's mind returned to heaven and earth again, he suddenly felt a strong spiritual energy pouring into his body.

The concentration of this spiritual energy even exceeds that of the natural spiritual pool that has not yet fully revived.

Shen Yuan quickly looked around, and found that he had appeared on a green meadow without knowing when, surrounded by towering mountains with no end in sight.

"The Tianyuan Secret Order represents a secret realm?"

Shen Yuan was startled, but then a figure with a powerful aura streaked across the sky and rushed away into the distance. Under the clear sky, the huge original body appeared, as bright as the morning sun.

"Yang Shen Dharma Image! Lian Shen Zhenren!"

Shen Yuan's heart was trembling. Shen Yuan, who had indirectly killed a demon king of the spirit refining realm, naturally would not be so moved by a real spirit refining realm.

What really surprised him was that the rules of heaven and earth here were perfect, and there was no sign of suppressing the True Man of Refining Spirit.

"This is definitely not the era that has just ended the spiritual energy depletion, nor is it even an era of spiritual energy tide that has recovered to its peak!"

Shen Yuan looked up at the sky with a sharp gaze. He could vaguely feel that all the incense and sacred roads between heaven and earth had returned to a majestic place above the sky.

That was naturally the Heavenly Palace, the source of billions of incense and gods. Shen Yuan could even feel that when facing the Heavenly Palace, his supernatural powers to exorcise gods were suppressed.

The rules of heaven and earth are complete, and heaven is still connected to the human world. This is a scene that has never been seen before after the connection between heaven and earth was cut off.

All these signs led Shen Yuan to make a judgment that was most suitable, yet unbelievable.

"I went back ten thousand years?"
