One hour later...
Thanks to the effects of the Yin-Yang Evolution Technique, Pei Yuhan fully recovered her vitality.
She is mostly recovered, but still somewhat weak.
Chu Tianyao was also somewhat weak...
Just then, the system's voice rang out.
"Ding! Detected that the host has successfully used the Yin-Yang Derivation Heaven Technique. Gained 5 billion Derivation Dao Points!"
"Ding! The current remaining Dao Points are insufficient to break through to the next major realm... (It takes 300 billion Dao Points to advance from the ninth level of the Integration Realm to the first level of the Mahayana Realm.) The current remaining Dao Points are [number missing]!"
Chu Tianyao breathed a sigh of relief, "This time, helping Pei Yuhan heal her injuries also earned me 5 billion Dao Points... which greatly saved me the time it would take to break through to the Mahayana Realm."
"I'm currently less than 40 billion Dao Points away from reaching the Great Ascension Realm... I still have over 2 million spirit stones, which I can use to purchase some more magical artifacts and supplies from the auction house..."
Pei Yuhan lowered her head and straightened her clothes.
What just happened almost made her lose her composure in the face of danger...
Over the years, Pei Yuhan has been devoted to swordsmanship and has never thought about matters between men and women.
In his early years, when he was learning swordsmanship from Ye Linyuan, he always maintained the proper distance between master and disciple, without overstepping his bounds in the slightest.
At this moment, having physical intimacy with Chu Tianyao, even under special circumstances, still caused Pei Yuhan great emotional turmoil.
She lowered her head, letting her long hair cover her face.
"......"
Chu Tianyao looked at Pei Yuhan, who remained silent, and said softly, "Miss Pei, we killed Ji Buduan, the young sect master of the Hehuan Sect, and Ji Yuanzhong, the supreme elder of the Hehuan Sect."
"The Hehuan Sect will investigate this matter soon. It's too dangerous for you to be out there alone."
Chu Tianyao continued, "I would like to invite Miss Pei to the Purple Maple Forest."
Pei Yuhan tried to calm herself down and asked, "Would Fairy Xiyue agree...? I heard she always keeps to herself."
Chu Tianyao chuckled, "Don't worry, Miss Pei, Master Xiyue will definitely agree."
Pei Yuhan thought for a moment, then said, "In that case, I'll trouble you..."
She hesitated for a moment when Chu Tianyao made the suggestion.
For some reason, Pei Yuhan seemed unwilling to separate from Chu Tianyao...
So, she unconsciously accepted the other party's invitation.
And so, Chu Tianyao and Pei Yuhan traveled away in the light and returned to the Purple Maple Forest.
Sensing the arrival of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, Xia Xiyue spread her divine sense.
A look of surprise flashed in her eyes, "This is... Tianyao's aura?!"
"In just a few days... he actually broke through to the Integration Realm! Not only that, he's already at the ninth level of the Integration Realm..."
"Could it be that during his travels in the outside world, he encountered some extraordinary opportunity?!"
Xia Xiyue exclaimed in surprise, "But I've cultivated in the Upper Realm for a thousand years, and I've never heard of anyone breaking through from the ninth level of the Void Refinement Realm to the ninth level of the Body Integration Realm in just a few days..."
"Hmm... As for the other aura, although it is only at the first level of the Integration Realm, it exudes a majestic sword intent."
"This person's swordsmanship talent is unparalleled... His future achievements are immeasurable!"
A moment later, Chu Tianyao brought Pei Yuhan to Xia Xiyue's side.
“Master, this is Miss Pei Yuhan. I would like her to stay in Purple Maple Forest for the time being.”
Pei Yuhan bowed to Xia Xiyue and said, "Greetings, Fairy Xiyue."
Xia Xiyue looked at the white-clad female sword cultivator before her and felt a surge of goodwill towards her...
“Miss Pei, since Tianyao has spoken, you may stay in the Purple Maple Forest for the time being.”
Xia Xiyue looked at Chu Tianyao and asked, "Tianyao, what happened these past few days? Why did you break through to the ninth level of the Integration Realm so quickly, and why did you come here in such a hurry?"
Chu Tianyao pondered for a moment, then said, "I was traveling through the Upper Realm, and on my way to the western desert... I encountered Miss Pei dancing with her sword."
"I had no intention of disturbing you, so I remained hidden in the shadows." As he said this, Chu Tianyao glanced at Pei Yuhan.
The latter blushed slightly, thinking to herself, "Is this what you call...not disturbing anyone?"
Chu Tianyao continued, "But suddenly, Ji Buduan, the young sect master of the Hehuan Sect, appeared. He wanted to take Miss Pei as a furnace for the Hehuan Sect."
"Furthermore, Ji Buduan sensed my presence and attacked me..."
Chu Tianyao recounted the battle in detail: "Miss Pei possessed the grace of an immortal. She broke through her cultivation level in the face of battle and was about to kill Ji Buduan with her sword, but unexpectedly, she alerted the opponent's Supreme Elder, Ji Yuanzhong!"
"That Supreme Elder is a cultivator at the second level of the Mahayana stage. No matter what, Miss Pei and I are no match for him. We had no choice but to use the jade talisman left to me by my master."
"...The Supreme Elder Ji Yuanzhong and the young sect master Ji Buduan of the Hehuan Sect were killed, and I picked up a jade pendant."
"I accidentally discovered that there was a huge amount of energy in it, and after absorbing it, I actually broke through to the ninth level of the Integration Realm!"
Chu Tianyao explained the situation in a evasive manner, concealing the fact that he possessed a system.
Xia Xiyue believed Chu Tianyao's words without a doubt. She nodded and said, "In that case, it is also your good fortune, Tianyao."
"As for the Hehuan Sect, you can rest assured. Although there will be some trouble, Zifeng Forest is not afraid of any sect in the Upper Realm."
"You are not at fault in this matter. For both reason and emotion, I will protect you."
Xia Xiyue smiled faintly, "You should all go and rest in your cave."
Chu Tianyao returned to his cave and began cultivating...
"I've broken through too quickly these past few days; my soul still needs to be tempered through the Supreme Ruthless Technique!"
"Let's consolidate our strength first... If the Hehuan Sect dares to invade my Zifeng Forest, we can lend Master Xiyue a hand."
Pei Yuhan also came to a cave to cultivate, arranged by Xia Xiyue.
"This place is rich in spiritual energy; it's a good place for cultivation..."
"Although Fairy Xiyue is one of the three peaks of the Upper Realm, she is approachable and has no airs at all."
"Chu Tianyao... how am I supposed to face this person from now on...? Was he only trying to save me that day, or...?"
Pei Yuhan shook her head. "If I keep thinking like this... I'm afraid I'll lose my composure! I should calm my mind and focus on my cultivation."
Hehuan Sect
The atmosphere was incredibly oppressive...
Ji Changba's eyes seemed to be ready to devour anyone who dared to attack him!
His son Ji Buduan's soul lamp went out, and the soul lamp of the Supreme Elder Ji Yuanzhong also went out!
Hatred did not cloud Ji Changba's judgment...
"How many people in the entire Shangzhen Realm could kill Ji Yuanzhong, who was at the second level of the Mahayana stage?"
Ji Changba tried his best to calm himself down. He said in a deep voice, "Investigate! Who dares to mess with our Hehuan Sect?! Even if we have to turn the Shangzhen Realm upside down, we must find the culprit for you."
