Chu Tianyao felt that his divine soul power was more than ten times stronger than before.
"With the innate blessing of the Yin-Yang Chaos Body, my physique has reached the limit of the Half-Immortal Realm..."
"If we were to face that attack from Tiandu Peak again now, we would at most suffer only minor injuries."
Chu Tianyao pondered for a moment, "Even with the boundary barrier sealed, the attack still possessed the power of a True Immortal. Ji Hao's strength must be at the Celestial Immortal realm..."
"Although I am now at the ninth level of the Half-Immortal Realm, I am still far from being able to face the Celestial Immortal Realm."
"I have only been in the Fallen Immortal Forest for a short time. If I make too much noise... it might alert Ji Hao. I will just stay put and develop for a while longer."
Chu Tianyao pondered for a moment and then issued a command to the system.
"System, please take a look at my current data panel."
"Ding! The following is the host's attribute panel."
Name: Chu Tianyao
Age: 295 years old.
Realm: Ninth Level of Half-Immortal
"Physical constitution: Yin-Yang chaotic body, immortal physique (incomplete)"
"Cultivation Techniques: Chaos Reversal Technique, Wandering Freely, Yin Yang Evolution Technique, Supreme Forgetfulness Technique, Nine Heavens Soaring Maple Technique, Mysterious Cup Slash, Moon Shadow Flowing Flower Arrow, Six Styles of Wind Slash, Cloud Mist, Overlord's Barrier, Heaven-Shaking Fist, Void-Breaking Soaring Cloud Sword."
"Items: 6 Immortal Crystals, Large Storage Bag, One Semi-Immortal Artifact (seized from Xie Yishang), Heaven-Turning Seal, Clear Radiance, Enchanting Beauty, Dawnbreaker, Soaring Clouds, Conquest Robe, Divine Origin Realm, Concealing Realm Bead (can be used to conceal one's realm aura)."
"Immortal Essence: 0 points".
"Upgrading from a Half-Immortal Realm Immortal to a True Immortal Realm Immortal requires Immortal Essence Points!"
Upon seeing the data, Chu Tianyao's expression darkened.
"Damn, it takes 100,000 Immortal Essence to advance to the True Immortal Realm?"
"I can only obtain one hundred immortal essences per day in this immortal cave, and I will have to leave the cave in about ten days."
"At that time, you'll only have fifty Immortal Essence points per day. To accumulate one hundred thousand Immortal Essence points, it will take approximately two thousand days..."
He pondered for a long time, "Well, after all, it's a leap across a major realm... it's normal to endure a few years of hardship."
"I only hope that after I leave the immortal cave, the other immortals in the Fallen Immortal Forest will not try to harm me!"
"Unless absolutely necessary, I am unwilling to unleash a bloodbath at this time, much less to shine brightly during this phase..."
"Otherwise, if Ji Hao finds out about my existence, it will probably cause more trouble!"
Chu Tianyao sat cross-legged, constantly adapting to the power of the ninth level of the Half-Immortal Realm.
"I still have more than ten days before I leave here, so I'll continue to solidify my foundation!"
Outside the immortal's cave...
Xie Yishang and the other immortals waited for two whole months, but Chu Tianyao still did not come out.
For a moment, all the immortals were somewhat surprised.
Even Shangguan Nu has begun to take Chu Tianyao seriously.
He left the stronghold and arrived at the outer perimeter of the immortal's cave, watching every move inside.
Sixteen days later...
Chu Tianyao mastered the top-level cultivation techniques, allowing his divine soul power to reach the pinnacle of the semi-immortal realm.
At the same time, his immortal body was also tempered by the immortal light to the point of being almost flawless...
At this moment, Chu Tianyao's immortal body is only one step away from perfection.
Because of the urgent need for immortal essence, his magical artifacts have not yet been refined to the level of immortal artifacts.
However, with the enhancement of his physical strength, Chu Tianyao's Heaven-Shaking Fist could already unleash the ultimate killing power of a ninth-level Half-Immortal.
Chu Tianyao pondered for a moment, "In these sixteen days, I have gained another 1600 Immortal Essence. This is enough for me to upgrade a Mahayana-stage magic weapon to a Half-Immortal-stage Immortal weapon."
"Besides the Heaven-Turning Seal and my own Heaven-Shaking Fist, I choose to upgrade the Lingxiao Sword to a Celestial Weapon..."
"Ding! As requested by the host, 1000 Immortal Essence has been consumed! The Lingxiao Sword (Mahayana level) has been upgraded to the Lingxiao Sword (Half-Immortal Realm Immortal Artifact)."
As the system prompted, the Lingxiao Sword began to emanate bursts of immortal aura, indicating that it had advanced from a magic weapon to an immortal weapon.
"Alright, everything is almost ready. We're out of immortal crystals; I should leave my immortal abode now..."
"When I came in, I was only at the first level of the Half-Immortal Realm, but now I am at the ninth level of the Half-Immortal Realm... This is too ostentatious. I should conceal my realm and keep a low profile for now."
With the help of the Concealing Pearl, Chu Tianyao's aura dropped to the first level of the Half-Immortal Realm.
That's why the system is so awesome! It's hard to imagine that the Shielding Pearl they gave us back then is still usable now.
And so, after seventy-six days of secluded cultivation in the immortal cave, Chu Tianyao finally emerged.
Hearing the commotion, the immortals waiting outside perked up!
Xie Yishang gritted her teeth, "That damned Chu Tianyao has finally shown up."
Shangguan narrowed his eyes; the prey had finally emerged...
Chu Tianyao's expression changed upon seeing the scene before him. He cursed inwardly, "What the hell? I'm only staying in the immortal cave for a few dozen days, do I really need so many of you to welcome me like this?"
He glanced at Xie Yishang and understood most of it.
Chu Tianyao cupped his hands in greeting to the assembled immortals, "Greetings, fellow immortals..."
He thought to himself, "Don't cause trouble... I don't want to stand out here!"
"In my assessment, one needs to be at least at the ninth level of the True Immortal Realm to even have a chance against Ji Hao, who is at the Heavenly Immortal Realm."
"Before this, I really didn't want to seek attention..."
Xie Yishang carefully examined Chu Tianyao and saw that he was still at the first level of the Half-Immortal Realm.
In an instant, I felt completely at ease!
"Chu Tianyao, you have ruined my reputation and seized my resources! Today I have invited all my fellow immortals to uphold justice for me and demand an explanation from you."
Xie Yishang's words made Chu Tianyao's lips twitch slightly.
"What the hell?! Ruin your reputation? How could you say such a thing? You have no shame."
He took a deep breath and slowly said, "Thank you, Fairy Xie. You were the one who lured me into the house that day. How can you say that I ruined your reputation?"
"You fainted in a moment of excitement... how can you blame me?"
"As for the missing supplies, I am unaware of them. Perhaps some other immortal entered the house and took them..."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yishang's eyes reddened and tears fell.
She looked at the immortal at the seventh level of the Half-Immortal Realm beside her and said in a trembling voice, "Brother Tian, this villain Chu Tianyao has humiliated me like this. You must stand up for Chang'er!"
That immortal at the seventh level of the Half-Immortal Realm was named Tian Choujiao.
When Tian Choujiao saw Xie Yishang's beautiful eyes filled with tears, he felt a great pain in his heart.
He took a step forward and said loudly, "Chu Tianyao, you little thief! You dare to spout nonsense here with a mere half-immortal realm cultivation level one!"
"If you hadn't used some underhanded tricks, how could you possibly be a match for Fairy Xie?"
A semi-divine artifact appeared in Tian Choujiao's hand. He looked at Chu Tianyao, his eyes filled with killing intent. "Kneel down and beg for mercy now, kowtow to Fairy Xie and apologize, and I will give you a quick death!"
