Morning.

The sun slowly rose from the horizon, its golden rays casting a mesmerizing glow over the ocean.

This sea area remained bustling as ever.

Fish swam joyfully on the surface, while the sea's apex predator, the shark, continued to indulge in its feast without restraint.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~!

In the sky, the void rift stretching for hundreds of meters continued to blow gases steadily into this world.

This had already been the nineteenth day since the void rift opened, and the third day since Nangong Feng and others arrived in this sea area.

Life on the deserted island was indeed monotonous, but for ancient martial artists, it was naturally nothing significant.

On the shore of a deserted island.

Several figures stood.

"This time, the rift has remained stable for quite a long time."

Nangong Feng squinted slightly, staring at the massive rift in the distance that resembled a gully in mid-air.

At this moment, the edges of the rift still had tiny black fragments that continuously shattered and reformed, leaving a feeling of unease.

"Yes, the last time the void rift took about ten days to stabilize from the beginning. Judging by the looks of it, it should stabilize by noon today."

Nangong Chen, the elder, nodded and said.

The black fragments at the rift's edge were now much fewer and smaller than when they saw it two days ago, and the glow inside the rift had also become more gentle, clearly a sign that it was stabilizing.

"However, clan leader, these days, there are suddenly many more ships coming to this sea area."

Nangong Chen, the elder, frowned and said.

"This rift has brought about significant commotion, and research ships from various countries are here. We cannot sneak in without them noticing, so we have to come openly. These countries will surely send strong figures, making this confrontation quite intense."

Nangong Feng's expression turned slightly solemn as he spoke in a low voice.

Huaxia.

Yunshui City, Feipu Manor.

Today was the nineteenth day since the void rift opened, but for Qin Yang, it was the twenty-second day.

This time, in order to break through to the late stage of the Immortal Master Realm, Qin Yang cultivated in seclusion for more than half a month.

At this moment, in Bu Xian Pavilion, Qin Yang sat cross-legged.

Around him, dozens of spirit stones floated, enveloped in spiritual power.

His eyes were tightly shut, with faint spiritual power shimmering under his clothing, surrounding him like an aura of light.

Pop~!

The spiritual energy within one of the spirit stones was absorbed by Qin Yang, turning into powder that drifted down. By now, a layer of spirit stone dust had covered the ground.

In Qin Yang's dantian, the floating spiritual liquid had increased from the original two hundred drops to four hundred and ninety drops. Just reaching five hundred drops would allow him to step into the late stage of the Immortal Master Realm.

"The four hundred ninety-first drop."

"The four hundred ninety-second drop."

"..."

"Break through, break through!"

Qin Yang resolutely thought.

Pop, pop, pop~!

The circle of spirit stones around Qin Yang turned into powder one by one, with spiritual energy entering his body through all the pores.

In addition to the abundant spiritual energy within the spirit stones, at this moment, in the Osmanthus Forest, rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi gathered into a Spiritual Energy Vortex at the top of Qin Yang's head.

Threads of pure spiritual energy poured into Qin Yang's body, traversing his meridians, converting into spiritual power that settled in his dantian and compressed into droplets of spiritual liquid.

"The four hundred ninety-fifth drop."

"The four hundred ninety-sixth drop."

"..."

"Five hundred drops!"

When the five hundredth drop of spiritual liquid formed in the dantian, a layer of invisible barrier burst open, and the spiritual liquid in Qin Yang's dantian all shimmered with pure light, each droplet appearing solid and thick.

Boom!

In this moment, Qin Yang's aura soared sharply, scattering the surrounding spirit stone powder, which landed on the nearby pale silver Spirit Gathering Grass.

Simultaneously, deep within Qin Yang's brows, in the Sea of Consciousness, the ten stars hanging in the starry sea of consciousness grew even more radiant, twinkling with brilliant starlight, and the strength of his divine sense increased once again.

Buzz~!

Qin Yang's divine sense dispersed, making every blade of grass and every tree within a five-kilometer radius appear clearly in his mind.

In the outer Osmanthus Forest, Elder Qiao paced anxiously, occasionally glancing towards the inner Osmanthus Forest.

"Does Elder Qiao have some issue?"

Qin Yang murmured in his heart, and his divine sense, which had been dispersed, was retracted back into the Sea of Consciousness.

"Phew."

Qin Yang slowly exhaled a breath of white air.

Swoosh!

In the next moment, those eyes that had been tightly closed opened, and a radiant starlight flashed across his pupils, then those eyes returned to their deep blackness.

Crunch~!

Qin Yang stretched lazily, his bones making crisp sounds as he stood up.

Within his eyes, a hint of joy rippled forth.

"Haha, finally reached the late stage of the Immortal Master Realm!"

Qin Yang clenched his fists, feeling the surge of spiritual power within, and smiled broadly.

"Hmm, I've been in seclusion for more than twenty days this time."

Qin Yang murmured, taking steps out of Bu Xian Pavilion.

The morning sunlight was just right, pouring down and illuminating that clean, upright figure, making Qin Yang's eyes narrow with comfort.

"I wonder what Elder Qiao is seeking me for, let's go see."

Qin Yang thought to himself, having sensed Elder Qiao at the outer Osmanthus Forest during his recent advancement.

With that, Qin Yang's figure flickered as he stepped out.

Outside the Osmanthus Forest.

"Has that kid Qin Yang not come out yet?"

Elder Qiao glanced again in the direction of the Osmanthus Forest, feeling somewhat helpless.

"Yes, this time the seclusion seems rather long."

Ruan Xinxue nodded and said.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, they saw a straight figure emerging from the Osmanthus Forest.

"Little scoundrel, you're out."

A hint of joy appeared on Ruan Xinxue's charming face.

"Brother Qin Yang."

Zilan chuckled sweetly and handed Qin Yang a bunch of crystal-clear, rain-moistened grapes from the basket she carried.

Qin Yang took them with a smile, nodding to the two women. Though more than twenty days of seclusion was nothing for a cultivator, the taste of these refreshing grapes was still quite nice.

"Qin Yang, at last, you've come out."

Elder Qiao looked at Qin Yang and said.

"What's the matter, Elder Qiao?"

Qin Yang asked, slightly puzzled.

"Qin Yang, you've been in seclusion for some time, and the world has undergone considerable changes."

Elder Qiao glanced at Qin Yang and said.

This guy had no idea that the whole world was discussing what happened in the East Sea during his seclusion.

"The world has undergone considerable changes?"

Qin Yang raised an eyebrow, a trace of confusion in his eyes.

However, as he looked up to the sky, he sensed that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to have become much denser.
