It’s not that Yuan Ran was unaware of anything about the outside world, but even if he did, he couldn’t interrupt the breakthrough process at will.

He felt the two opposing forces of Gao Han and Chai Chengyun, and he was very anxious and worried that something might happen to them. He was determined to make a breakthrough as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, by the time he broke through, the problem had already been resolved.

As the only person who didn't know about the incident, Chang Xiaoxiao and a few others saw that he looked confused, so they surrounded him and described the whole process in vivid detail. It was very thrilling. In fact, the whole process was over in less than twenty seconds.

Yuan Ran was shocked to learn that Gao Han defeated Chai Chengyun easily. What kind of monster was he that he could even defeat Chai Chengyun who had already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.

After this battle, I'm afraid his reputation will spread.

Yuan Ran was happy for him, but also worried that this fame would bring him endless trouble.

"So, should we continue to look for resources, or return to the exit of the passage and wait for the time to come?" Yuan Ran said, and then he considered: "After the previous battle, many Jindan Dacheng cultivators should give priority to breaking through. By then, there should be a lot more cultivators or demons in the Nascent Soul stage."

"We can't get to that other side of the passage." Gao Han said.

Yuan Ran was stunned, "Why is this?"

"There are all mad monsters over there now. In fact, many places outside have become very dangerous. The monster cubs stolen by the Baiyun Valley disciples should not be the offspring of ordinary monsters. They are likely to be the offspring of a monster leader in the secret realm, who can command other monsters."

Yuan Ran took a deep breath and said, "Any monster that can command a Yuanying stage monster is most likely a Out-of-Body stage monster." Gao Han nodded and said, "Yes, so the secret realm is very dangerous now. The monsters are looking for humans who stole their cubs and may attack indiscriminately."

"So now we can only hide and practice, and can't go out again?"

"You are already in the Nascent Soul stage, so you can go out, but others had better not. When you were breaking through, Tingzhou went out for a walk and deliberately attracted the attention of several monsters. As a result, not only did they not attack him immediately, but they attracted the nearby Nascent Soul monsters to besiege him. Their wisdom is very high. Behind these Nascent Soul monsters, there must be an even more powerful monster."

Yuan Ran's face was solemn. "The situation outside has become so serious. I thought the monster army might disappear after the outbreak."

"Not in the short term."

Yuan Ran pondered for a moment, "If that's the case, don't go out yet. If the monsters don't find the disciples of Baiyun Valley, they will definitely not give up. If you go out now, the monsters will think you are an accomplice of Baiyun Valley."

"Yes, we fought for so long near the top-grade spirit stone mine, but no demons appeared. They are probably hiding. Many of them died in the rampage of the demon beast army, and they shouldn't appear again in the short term," said Gao Han.

"Then practice."

The turbulent secret realm began to enter a dormant period.

The group of ten people from Zixiao Sect then found a secluded cave and started to sit cross-legged to practice, which was a good opportunity to digest what they had absorbed during this period.

Zhongli Tingzhou dug out another small cave in the cave. While others were meditating and practicing outside, he and Gao Han practiced in the small cave. No one came in to disturb them.

The cave was very quiet, with only the extremely light breathing sounds of everyone.

Gao Han sat on a stone bed that Zhongli Tingzhou had deliberately built, with his knife placed on his legs. The blade was very smooth, but if you looked closely, you would find that there were actually some tiny cracks on it, especially at the edge.

The reason why he never used the sword skills taught by Master Tiandao was also related to the grade of the magic weapon.

The swordsmanship combined with the True Yang Heart Method would unleash an unbearable violent force. Not only would he have to bear this force, but his sword would have to bear it as well.

However, as a mid-grade treasure, it was not that weak. It was just that the sword had collided many times in succession during the battle with Kailos, and the blade had been under tremendous pressure. It was not until he used the World-Destroying Heavenly Sword, which was the sword technique taught to him by Master Tiandao, that his sword could no longer bear it and cracks appeared again.

He gently stroked the blade with his fingers, and a slight chill was transmitted from his fingertips. His knife had been broken once, and he never expected that it would be broken again.

Maybe this was God's will. When he got the Sun Tree, he thought about integrating a part of the Sun Tree into the sword to increase the power and grade of the sword. He didn't expect that this idea would be forced to be brought forward not long after it came to fruition.

"I plan to refine it again." Gao Han said.

Zhongli Tingzhou frowned and said, "Why don't you ask your Tiandao Master to give you a higher grade sword, and then you can refine a better sword yourself in the future."

Gao Han shook his head, "I want to refine it myself and see if I can cultivate a powerful magic weapon."

Zhongli Tingzhou heard another meaning in his words. He didn't know what he was thinking about. His expression darkened slightly and he said in a deep voice: "Do you want it to become your life-long magic weapon?"

"That's right." Gao Han knew what he was thinking. "With the branch of the Sun Tree, I am sure that if the same situation occurs again in the future, my knife will not easily have problems."

He had never decided on his own natal magic weapon, and the knife in his hand had just been refined. He had not had time to make a decision, and problems arose.

However, it was precisely because he did not make this sword his own magic weapon that he was not affected when the sword was damaged.

The natal magic weapon is related to the life and cultivation of the cultivator. Once the natal magic weapon is damaged, it may seriously endanger the life of the cultivator, and even reduce the cultivation and cause a decline.

His knife seemed to have only some minor damages, but the real problem was actually inside, spreading like a spider web.

"Can a cultivator have more than one magical weapon?" Zhongli Tingzhou suddenly asked.

Gao Han was slightly startled. "There should be only one. Yuan Ran once said that the innate magic weapon is different from the general magic weapon. The longer it is nurtured, the more powerful it is. However, it requires the cultivator to spend energy and constantly refine it in the Dantian. It is not easy to refine one innate magic weapon to the extreme. It is not a good thing to refine two innate magic weapons at the same time. It is easy to disperse your energy."

Zhongli Tingzhou leaned against the cave wall. "That's just an ordinary person. Don't forget, our speed of absorbing spiritual energy is several times faster than others, and even our spiritual power is stronger than that of ordinary people."

"You're not wrong." Gao Han did not refute. He had discovered this a long time ago.

A cultivator's natal magic weapon must be stored in the Dantian before it can be tempered. For an average Jindan cultivator, the Dantian can accommodate one or two natal magic weapons, but other magic weapons cannot be stored in the Dantian.

Although he had never tried it, he could feel that his Dantian should be able to store two or three magical weapons.

"Do you want to try?" Gao Han asked.

"I'm just waiting for you to help me refine a magic weapon for my own life." Zhongli Tingzhou has been reluctant to put the sword given to him by Master Zixiao into his dantian, just to wait for Gao Han to help him refine a magic weapon, which will be his first magic weapon for his own life.

"Let's talk about it after we get back this time." Since Gao Han had to refine a magic weapon for him, he didn't intend to be careless and had to make some preparations before starting.

In order to repair the magic weapon, Gao Han took out a lot of things, all of which were materials found in the secret realm, the most important of which was the branch of the Sun Tree.

In order not to damage the sun tree, he cut off a small section of the branch without affecting its normal growth and fruiting.

Ever since he put the Sun Tree into the Yayoi Ring, the Sun Tree has stopped growing, unless he continues to feed it with top-grade spirit stones, which can replace the energy needed for the Sun Tree's growth.

When Gao Han discovered this, he tried feeding the Sun Tree with top-grade spirit stones. It did work and could accelerate the growth of the Sun Tree, but the Sun Tree was still very rare.

This is not difficult to understand. If maintaining a sun tree requires constant feeding with top-grade spirit stones, even if the entire sect is sacrificed, it is likely that a sun tree cannot be maintained.

But before he could mend his knife, there was one more important thing to do.

Gao Han took out something that looked like a stone, which was the sunstone containing the sourceless fire.

He threw the sunstone to the ground, and the ground sank due to the scorching heat on the surface of the sunstone. This was caused by the metal in the soil being melted.

Zhongli Tingzhou stared at the sunstone with deep eyes.

"Are you sure you want to absorb the solar fire in this stone?" he said.

"This is the only way to become stronger." Gao Han knew what he wanted to say. He had been mentally prepared before making this decision. "If I can successfully devour the Sun's Fire, my weapon-refining fire should be able to be upgraded to a significant level."

"Haven't you discovered that the flame level of your refining fire is higher than that of other refiners?" Zhongli Tingzhou knew that Gao Han would not give up, but what if? Everyone always has a small goal to achieve.

"I know, but that doesn't mean I can be content with the status quo." He was not dead and had no feelings.

Gao Han picked up the sunstone after he finished speaking. The scorching heat burned his hands, and he felt better only after wrapping them with a layer of spiritual power.

The inside of the Sunstone had been burned by the Sun's Fire for many years. It took a lot of effort to open it, and it also destroyed one of his magic weapons, the knife of the Lord of Xiaori City, which he later repaired.

When the flames appeared in the cave, the temperature of the cave rose rapidly to a level that could be felt by the naked body.

"Have you noticed that the temperature in the cave seems to have increased?" A disciple suddenly said outside the small cave.

"Of course I noticed. Not only did it get taller, it was also very hot." Another disciple looked shocked.

You have to know that they are cultivators. After reaching the Jindan level, they rarely feel cold or heat. The ice and snow in winter and the scorching sun in summer cannot penetrate their spiritual protection.

"The temperature is getting higher and higher, what's going on?" A disciple's forehead was covered with sweat, which dripped down his cheek.
