Chapter 419 - 228: Seven Years Later, Xuan Immortal Seeks Help
In front of Liu Su Monarch of the Southern Dipper Divine Palace, Yuan Shun killed Jiang Jiuge, the son of Jiang Yichuan, the former Blood God Sect Master, and even injured Liu Su Monarch with one blow. He demonstrated an incredibly powerful combat ability among Monarch-level cultivators.
This piece of information greatly excited everyone in Xuandan Sect. Furthermore.
The original gate of the Xuandan Sect had been hit by a catastrophic disaster, turning it into a field of corpses. The miasma of decay permeates the entire ’ Xuandan Mountain Range. Moreover, the Spirit Vein beneath the mountain range had turned into a dead vein.
This piece of information greatly shocked the disciples of Xuandan Sect. However.
The Heaven’s Blessing Pill, miraculously coinciding with the mutation of the sea of blood, allowed the entire sect to relocate, avoiding this horrendous disaster. This made the disciples of Xuandan Sect vaguely feel the destiny on them, resulting in a surge in their self-confidence.
However.
Many Foundation Establishment Elders and inner sect disciples felt that the situation was suspicious, but with their strength and status, they couldn’t probe any further for more information, thus settling with lingering doubts.
Time.
Seven years have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the first three years of these seven years, Yuan Beast Mountain, no, it is officially renamed Xuandan Mountain, where the reconstruction of Xuandan Sect takes place and escalates like wildfire.
Beyond one main peak, six inner peaks, and thirty-three outer peaks, the Combat Peak was rebuilt, and the Heaven, Earth, and Man rankings were reestablished.
Four years ago, the pace of reconstruction slowed down, and the Sect entered a stable phase.
At this moment.
Atop the Vermilion Bird Peak, inside the highest tower of the remodeled Vermilion Bird Palace, a Daoist sat cross-legged, breathing deeply. The Spirit Energy from the fourth-stage Spirit Vein’s core node enveloped him, the Immortal Qi was profound and dignified.
At a certain moment, the Daoist opened his eyes, a flash of golden light passed. The Daoist was naturally Han Yi.
He had surely not left the Xuandan Sect during these seven years, the longest continuous amount of time spent there since his transmigration.
In these seven years, both his realm and skills had made substantial progress. However, systematic cultivation, lacking the adrenaline of life-and-death fights, meant that even though he had the accumulation of the initial period, these seven years only brought him one step closer to the Middle Golden Core Stage, but the opportunity for a breakthrough was not yet in sight.
The progress of his primary combat skills, although substantial, didn’t break through to the next level, and no transformative surge in strength was observed.
However.
For Han Yi, this was enough.

“There’s not enough time.”
“The Great Sun God Method has reached the limit of perfection. No matter how much more I practice, it won’t improve any further. The boost to my realm progression has also basically reached its limit. Should I switch to an even stronger cultivation method?”
“As for the Sword Realm, it is still at 0 completion. I don’t know how much further the Departing Fire Sword Formula has to progress to meet the completion requirement.”
In the past few years, the fastest progress has been in the Disguise Technique, which has entered the ‘Return to the Truth’ stage, also taking up the most time.”
The Ancient God Visualization Method has also managed to break through to the ‘Peak Mastery’ stage.”
Summarizing the gains of these seven years, besides the breakthrough in the Disguise Technique, all other skills were improved, laying the foundation for future breakthroughs.
Cultivation is not an overnight thing, nor can it be achieved by sudden enlightenment.
The path to immortality is long and inevitably tedious, but each step should yield feedback and gains.
Han Yi had a thorough understanding of this.
Suddenly.
A message was transmitted from the new Xuandan Peak. Han Yi’s eyes moved as he stood up and stepped out from the peak of the tower. He took a few steps and had already covered a thousand miles before reaching Xuandan Peak.
As he traversed the thousand miles, his sight fell upon the six inner peaks and thirty-three outer peaks, which were bustling with life. Figures of Foundation Establishment cultivators flying on swords could be seen, making the scene much more prosperous than seven years ago.
However.
Instead of feeling secretly pleased, Han Yi’s heart was weighed down even more.
Five years ago, Qin Wuxian and Si Hongxue had fully recovered with no lingering injuries. After that, they went to search for Yuan Shun in the dark, but found nothing.
In these seven years.
To create a false facade, after relocation, Han Yi focused on the Disguise Technique for the first three years, raising this skill to the ‘Return to the Truth-stage.
Then, two years ago, he changed his appearance to that of Yuan Shun. In terms of aura, he had 99.9% similarity. Even Qin Wuxian, Zhuge Wu You, and Si Hongxue were amazingly dumbfounded, saying they couldn’t tell Han Yi was disguised.
Then.
Han Yi, disguised as Yuan Shun, returned to the sect with a powerful presence and called an elders’ meeting, where he announced all the decisions previously discussed by the eight Supreme Elders.
Of course, it goes without saying that rewards for the present Supreme Elders and Foundation Establishment Elders were also part of it.
Of course, Han Yi had already announced his closed-door cultivation before that.
Other than him, there were seven other Supreme Elders present at the meeting. Yes, the Xuandan Sect now has a new Supreme Elder, Zhu SiYuan from the previous Dan Sword Peak.
Seven years prior, when the sect moved, Zhu SiYuan was forced to leave his seclusion. However, in the third year after the relocation, he broke through to the Golden Core Stage. He took another two years to stabilize his cultivation base and was told the truth just before ‘Yuan Shun’s’ return..
