Upon hearing Ruan Xiyan's agreement, He Jia beamed with joy and quickly said, "I will return to Jiaxin Sect immediately to make arrangements. It won't take too long. Sect Leader Ruan can rest at Jiaxin Sect for a while."
Ruan Xiyan and He Jia returned to Jiaxin Sect. She cultivated in the arranged courtyard to consolidate and improve her strength.
Meanwhile, Hejia and the elders were busy with matters related to their integration into the Illusionary Concealment Sect.
"Sect Master, do we really want to join the Illusionary Concealment Sect?" the elder asked.
"I made this decision after careful consideration."
"The sect leader's decision is indeed the best choice for the Jiaxin Sect, which is currently in decline. It's just that we are a little reluctant to leave here all of a sudden."
"However, Jiaxin Sect is just a name. The most important thing is the people in Jiaxin Sect who have known each other for many years. As long as the sect leader is there, nothing has changed."
Hejia patted the elder on the shoulder, "Alright, stop reminiscing, let the disciples clean up."
"Yes, Sect Master."
He and his group packed up quickly, afraid that Ruan Xiyan would get impatient and regret bringing them along.
So they got everything sorted out in just one day, and then a large group of them followed Ruan Xiyan to the Illusionary Hidden Sect.
The Illusionary Concealment Sect.
Knowing that Ruan Xiyan had returned, Lin Muze and the others rushed to the main hall.
Upon arriving at the main hall, they were stunned to see the dense crowd of people packed inside.
"Sister Yan, what's going on?!" Lin Muze exclaimed in shock.
Ruan Xiyan explained the whole story, then looked at Lu Ji and said, "Lu Ji, I'm leaving these Jiaxin Sect people to you."
"Yes, Sect Master, leave it to me." Lu Ji led the people from Jiaxin Sect to make the arrangements.
"Sister Yan is amazing! She went out and not only got the spiritual medicine, but also brought back a sect along the way." Lin Muze gave Ruan Xiyan a thumbs up.
"Sister Yan is so amazing, these are all normal operations for her." Yu Qiqi had a proud expression on her face.
"My strength has now reached the advanced Immortal Saint realm, and I may experience the tribulation of ascending to the Nine Provinces Continent at any time."
"Xi Yan, your strength has broken through again?" Luo Wanyin asked in surprise.
Ruan Xiyan nodded.
"Sister Yan, when will the tribulation arrive? Once you go to the Nine Provinces Continent, will we never see you again?" Yu Qiqi had mixed feelings, both happy that Sister Yan could go to explore a new continent and reluctant to part with her.
They and Sister Yan have come all the way from the mortal continent together, but the Nine Provinces Continent is not the same as the cultivation continent.
Only those who reach a certain level of strength and attract the tribulation lightning of ascension can travel to the Nine Provinces Continent.
Ruan Xiyan rubbed Yu Qiqi's head and said, "It's not like I'm not coming back. Even if I go to the Nine Provinces Continent in the future, I will come back to see you."
"As for the tribulation lightning for ascension, I don't know when it will arrive, but it should be in the next few days."
Yu Qiqi wrapped her arms around Ruan Xiyan's arm, "Then I must cherish the last moments I have with Sister Yan."
"Alright, alright, the rest of the time is yours." Ruan Xiyan smiled indulgently.
In the following days, Ruan Xiyan would occasionally get together with Yu Qiqi and the others, and at the same time, she also studied the mental cultivation method of the Jiaxin Sect.
They discussed it with Hejia and finally found a way to better unleash the power of Shiyang Heart Method.
"The Blazing Sun Technique that the sect leader found is extremely powerful and rigid, while the Stone Sun Heart Method is gentle. The combination of one gentle and one rigid not only does not reduce the power of both, but also enhances their power."
"Brilliant! This solves the problem of weak physical strength when cultivating mental techniques. It's a win-win situation!" He Jia exclaimed excitedly.
There aren't many cultivation techniques that can perfectly complement Shi Yang's mental cultivation method, but I didn't expect the sect leader to find one. The Illusionary Hidden Sect truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier power; its cultivation resources are indeed incomparable to those of ordinary forces.
“Since you think there’s no problem, then let the disciples practice the Blazing Sun Technique and the Stone Sun Heart Method together,” Ruan Xiyan said.
He clasped his hands in a fist and replied, "I will go and give the order right away."
He left in high spirits. He had always known where the weaknesses of Shi Yang's mental cultivation method lay, but knowing was one thing, and fixing them was another.
Given the previous status of Jiaxin Sect, even if he wanted to change things, he was powerless to do so. Now, however, the problem of the shortcomings in the cultivation method has been solved, and one of his worries has been resolved.
After He Jia left, Ruan Xiyan sat down on a chair in the courtyard, looking up at the clear blue sky, which was cloudless.
Logically speaking, the tribulation should have arrived by now.
What exactly is going on? She counted down the days until the tribulation, but so many days have passed, and not only has the tribulation not arrived, but she hasn't even seen a single thundercloud above the Illusionary Hidden Sect.
Ruan Xiyan was completely baffled.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and she narrowed her eyes. Could it be that the seven-colored thundercloud was behind this? Was it deliberately avoiding her?
Ruan Xiyan suddenly stood up and left the Illusionary Hidden Sect, her spiritual power probing her surroundings.
Her spiritual power was now vast and boundless, and she had explored the territory of the Illusionary Hidden Sect in the blink of an eye.
After finding no trace of the lightning tribulation, she continued to expand the search area.
It's easy for the seven-colored thundercloud to avoid her, but as long as someone breaks through the tribulation of lightning, it has to appear dutifully, and if it appears, she has a way to find it.
Ruan Xiyan continued to search for traces of the lightning tribulation.
On a deep mountain, thunderclouds loomed overhead, gathering power for a tribulation of lightning, poised to strike.
Below, a person who was about to break through to the advanced pseudo-immortal realm stood there nervously, ready to fight, mobilizing all his strength to resist the lightning tribulation.
The colorful thunderclouds lay leisurely on the dark, oppressive thunderclouds, the lightning power in his hands ready to strike at any moment.
"You're living a pretty comfortable life, aren't you?" a cool voice rang out.
The seven-colored thundercloud instinctively replied, "It's alright."
As soon as it finished speaking, it felt something was wrong, turned around abruptly, and saw Ruan Xiyan standing behind it.
Its eyes widened suddenly, and before it could fly away, it was caught in Ruan Xiyan's hand. "Little Cai Cai, are you hiding from me?"
"No, that's nonsense," the seven-colored thundercloud chuckled. "Wait a minute! She-devil, what did you just call me?"
"Little Cai Cai." Ruan Xiyan repeated these three words slowly and deliberately, with the last word still having a lingering syllable, instantly making the seven-colored thundercloud's scalp tingle.
"Female...she-demon, you...you've regained your memories?!" the seven-colored thundercloud exclaimed incredulously. If the female demon had no memories, she would never have called it that.
"I remembered some things, not many, but enough to remind me of Xiao Cai Cai." Ruan Xi Yan flicked her finger against the soft, multicolored thundercloud.
