After becoming a disciple of Gongsun Yun, Han Li gained many benefits. Just in terms of Mid-grade Spiritual Stones, he received twenty thousand, equivalent to two million Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

Furthermore, he received an Immortal Conservation Pill, the Wenxuan Sword, the Five Elements Destruction Formation, three Formation Breaking Beads, two Small Teleportation Charms… he was also taught Tianxuan Mountain’s most powerful cultivation technique, the “Tianxuan Scripture, ” along with two exceptional skills, the “Xuantian Punch” and the “God Slaying Sword Technique.”

The Immortal Conservation Pill is a sixth-grade medicine, which aids cultivators at the Gangyuan Realm in advancing to the God Refining Realm, with just one pill capable of increasing the success rate by twenty percent; its effects are incredibly potent.

The Wenxuan Sword is a Profound Rank Extreme Grade Spiritual Artifact, usually wielded by cultivators in the God Refining Realm; the Five Elements

Destruction Formation is a sixth-grade Formation that Gongsun Yun gave to Han Li in consideration of his long-term stay in Lingjun City, designed to defend against enemies in the God Refining Realm, challenging even a Hollow Realm Master to break it within five or six breaths’ time.

A sixth-grade Formation Breaking Bead, two seventh-grade Formation

Breaking Beads, in case Han Li gets trapped within a great Formation; using a Small Teleportation Charm instantly transports one to a random location within a hundred thousand miles.

The Tianxuan Scripture is an Earth-Level Extreme Grade Practice Method, consisting of nine revolutions, each corresponding to a different realm theoretically reaching the peak of the Myriad Phenomena Realm. However, aside from Tianxuan Mountain’s Founding Master, no one else has reached the Myriad Phenomena Realm.

The Xuantian Punch is an Earth-Level Extreme Martial Art, and the God Slaying Sword Technique is an Earth-grade Superior Martial Art; both are exceptional skills of the Myriad Phenomena Realm level and are extremely precious.

Realizing the value of these items, Han Li was shocked. Only his

Body-Cultivating Furnace and the Pill Formula for the Rebirth Pill on him were of greater worth; the Longevity Pill couldn’t be compared to any of these, for it was just a seventh-grade one, unless he had a Fifth Grade Longevity Pill.

Han Li felt somewhat ashamed for having been so cautious and wary of Gongsun Yun in the past. Of course, this sense of shame was fleeting; given the choice again, he would act the same way.

Not everyone is as open-hearted towards him as Gongsun Yun. The human heart is the most complex and the most difficult to fathom, something Han Li had experienced profoundly.

Surviving in the Cultivation Realm requires supreme caution; sooner or later, carelessness leads to a great downfall, possibly leaving no opportunity for recovery.

Remembering Gongsun Yun’s kindness, Han Li kept it close to his heart; other than his parents, this was the first time anyone had treated him so well.

Should Tianxuan Mountain ever face any calamity and he possesses the strength to aid, he would do so, even if it meant taking some risks.

Inside the Xuantian Hall, Sect Leader Gongsun Yun said with a smile, “Disciple, in a few days, I will announce your acceptance as my last closed-door disciple.”

“Before you, I took in eight disciples. Including you, that makes nine. You are the latest to join, but you have the highest cultivation.”

Han Li gave a wry smile under the intense gaze of Gongsun Yun and said, “Sect Leader, making the announcement is fine, but let’s keep my cultivation level a secret.”

Han Li, once considered unremarkable in Tianxuan Mountain, would certainly cause a stir by suddenly becoming the Sect Leader’s last closed-door disciple. If his cultivation level were to leak, it might attract unwanted trouble.

It had not been easy to conceal his cultivation level, and if it were made known to the outside world, it could have some adverse effects, especially since he had quite a few hidden enemies.

“As you wish,” Gongsun Yun nodded without dwelling on the matter. He would only tell a few people and make sure they too kept it to themselves.

“By the way, you should stay on Tianxuan Mountain for now. When you have successfully converted the techniques, and have a basic understanding of Xuantian Punch and God Slaying Sword, you may leave the mountain. If there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to come to me for guidance.”

Gongsun Yun was quite optimistic about this disciple who knew the value of concealing his talents. Although he had many Gang Yuan stage disciples and some with fifth-grade cultivation talents, the path to reaching the Hollow Void Stage was difficult.

Having talent and practice methods doesn’t guarantee an unimpeded journey in cultivation. The path of cultivation is fraught with various obstacles; one must undergo trials to break through the shackles of the realms.

Take Jiang Cheng, for example. With a sixth-grade cultivation talent, he was generally expected to reach the God Refining Stage, even holding some hope for advancing to the Hollow Void Stage. However, troubled by emotional tribulations, he remained at the ninth layer of the Pihai Realm.

The path of cultivation becomes increasingly difficult the further one progresses. Talent is merely a ticket to entry, indicating the realm one might theoretically achieve.

Those with insufficient talent, but wishing to ascend to higher realms, must find ways to enhance their talent or seek out great opportunities to accelerate their cultivation and thus obtain their entry ticket.

Han Li agreed and left the Xuantian Hall with complex emotions.

Throughout the entire time, Gongsun Yun did not ask what opportunities Han Li had come across or what his current cultivation talent was. This sense of trust left Han Li somewhat at a loss.

On the way to Tianxuan Mountain, although Han Li appeared quite composed, in his heart he felt a bit uneasy, worried that some great disaster might really occur on Tianxuan Mountain.

Unexpectedly, upon his return, he had transformed into a disciple of the Sect Leader of Tianxuan Mountain, advanced directly to core disciple,

With the token given by Gongsun Yun, Han Li took possession of a cave dwelling on Tianxuan Peak, knowing he would reside there for the coming years.

After casually exploring, Han Li found the layout of the cave dwelling to be quite favorable, with an alchemy room, artifact refining room, spiritual medicine garden, meditation chamber, living room, bedroom, and more.

The spiritual energy was already abundant in the small courtyard within the inner section, about five times denser than the outside world, but here it was even three times denser than in the inner section, with a high-grade Spirit Gathering Array gathering spiritual energy.

Soon, Han Li settled down on Tianxuan Peak and, after many years, started cultivating with effort once again.

He needed to transform the True Yuan condensed by the Sacred Heart

Scripture into the True Yuan of the Tianxuan Scripture. The Sacred Heart Scripture was only of Profound Rank mid-grade, but the Tianxuan Scripture was an Earth Rank supreme grade. Once the transformation was complete, his strength would surge significantly.

In addition, he had to cultivate Xuantian Punch and God Slaying Sword, the two ultimate skills of Tianxuan Mountain, and by the way, also cultivate the upper half of the Yin and Yang Palm Seal.

Since he had to cultivate anyway, he might as well cultivate them all together.

Originally, Han Li had wanted to wait for direct rewards from the system, which would immediately be at the perfect level. According to his estimate, rewarding Earth Level Cultivation Martial Skills would probably require thousands of descendants.

That would need at least several decades, and Han Li could not wait that long. Plans cannot keep up with changes, and since the grade of the three ultimate skills was so high and cultivating them could improve his strength, Han Li had no hesitation.

After cultivating in the cave dwelling for a few days, Han Li exited his seclusion. It was not that he had succeeded in his cultivation, but he needed to handle a matter.

During these past days, the news of Han Li being taken as a personal disciple by the Sect Leader had spread throughout Tianxuan Mountain. At Han Li’s request, no grand ceremony was held for accepting him as a disciple; he preferred to keep a low profile.

He sent a junior brother to Lingjun City in Fengyang Manor to deliver a message to the Han Family, to report his safety. Otherwise, with his prolonged absence, not only the Han Family, but other powers in Fengyang Manor would have cause for speculation.

This junior brother was only at the third layer of Pihai Realm and was an old acquaintance of Han Li; he felt quite at ease entrusting this matter to him.

The junior brother agreed immediately without even asking for a reward. Although he did not know why Han Li was taken as a disciple by the Sect Leader, the junior brother felt happy for Han Li.

With Han Li’s connection, his influence on Tianxuan Mountain would also increase. If Han Li broke through to the Gangyuan Realm and became a Great Master, he would also lend his junior brother a hand.

After handling the matter, Han Li returned to his cave dwelling to continue his secluded cultivation; he was eager to complete it and return to Lingjun City.

Having not enjoyed the company of his women, such as Lin Yiwu and Lin Yiyin, for quite some time, and teaching them his ways, Han Li found himself missing them a great deal.

A few more days passed, and suddenly a voice sounded outside the cave dwelling.

“Junior Brother Han, are you there?”

Sorry, I forgot to schedule this, but I checked and caught it..
