"Host's disciple Shi Xuan has broken through to the Heavenly Origin Realm, rewarding the host with thirty years of cultivation."

On Miaomiao Mountain, Chu Feng was chanting scriptures to the Bodhi tree when the system's prompt suddenly sounded in his mind.

This sudden sound did not interrupt Chu Feng's chanting. At this point, besides the True Meaning of the Great Dao, no reward could pique his interest.

However, with Shi Xuan breaking through to the Heavenly Origin Realm, he would likely soon make gains elsewhere, which would in turn increase his own True Meaning of the Great Dao.

The Land of Slaughter.

The demons in White Bone Valley still did not dare to approach Thousand Illusion Mistress's cave. Although the sword energy from that strike had dissipated, the psychological shadow it cast on them was simply too strong.

After several days of seclusion, Shi Xuan slowly opened his eyes. Feeling the majestic spiritual power within his body, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted: "I have finally comprehended the Jie Character Secret. This way, my cultivation in the Land of Slaughter can advance by leaps and bounds. In ten years, I must enter the Dao Union Realm!"

Shi Xuan cleared the rubble from the cave, then slowly left the cave holding his long sword.

He did not plan to continue training in White Bone Valley; the demonic creatures here no longer had any training value for him.

Only demonic creatures at the Heavenly Origin Realm, or even the Nurturing God Realm, were qualified to be his, Shi Xuan's, opponents.

Time passed unnoticed in the mountains. Shi Xuan had been in the Land of Slaughter for half a year.

In these six months, through battle, he had already broken through to the third level of the Heavenly Origin Realm, a cultivation speed much faster than before.

However, Shi Xuan did not continue killing because of this but instead prepared to return the way he came to Wen Dao Pass.

For one, the pills on his body were mostly consumed. For another, his body had been eroded by the aura of slaughter, and he needed to seclude himself for a period to expel it.

Otherwise, in the long run, his entire being would be controlled by the aura of slaughter, and he would eventually become one of the members of the Land of Slaughter.

Half a month later.

Shi Xuan appeared outside Wen Dao Pass. As soon as the masked him appeared, his path was blocked by several disciples of Wen Dao Academy.

"Halt!"

The group of people looked at the terrifying aura of slaughter emanating from Shi Xuan, and their bodies could not help but tremble.

Although every fellow disciple who entered the Land of Slaughter would come out with a killing aura.

But the killing aura on this fellow before them was simply too terrifying.

Shi Xuan did not say much, but simply took out his identity token from his storage ring.

After seeing the True Inheritance Disciple token, everyone froze in place.

The one in the lead said: "This senior brother, it is not that we intend to make things difficult for you, but there are rules for the Land of Slaughter."

Shi Xuan said flatly: "Take my token and find Senior Brother Shi Yuqi. When he sees this token, he will naturally come to take me where I need to go."

Huu...

Hearing this, everyone let out a long sigh of relief.

They were not afraid of the newcomer having a backer; having a backer meant there was someone to take responsibility and experience in handling similar incidents.

What they feared was the type without a backer who still put on the air of being a prodigy; such fellow disciples were the most difficult to handle.

A moment later.

Shi Yuqi rushed over with a group of his confidants. He looked at that masked fellow and almost subconsciously blurted out Shi Xuan's name.

Fortunately, he was experienced and steady. Smiling, he said: "Junior brother, you're back. I have already prepared a quiet room for you. If you need anything, just let me know."

"Thank you for your trouble, senior brother."

Shi Xuan said in a very calm tone.

"Junior brother, please."

Shi Yuqi personally led Shi Xuan away.

The group of disciples present had never seen such a display. After all, Shi Yuqi had a powerful backer in the Outer Affairs Court, and on normal days, other fellow brothers were always polite to him.

Now he was personally leading a True Inheritance disciple to a quiet room; it seemed the other party was very likely the disciple of some powerful elder or one of the Ten Great Chiefs.

"Junior Brother Shi, the quiet rooms here all have formations to purify the aura of slaughter. Given your current situation, to purify the aura of slaughter on your body, you must enter a high-grade formation and stay for forty-nine days."

Shi Yuqi introduced.

Shi Xuan said with a smile: "There is no need for such trouble. When I was on Miaomiao Mountain, I often listened to my master's sermons, which included scriptures that could dissolve the aura of slaughter. A low-grade quiet room will suffice for me."

Smack!

Shi Yuqi slapped his own forehead and smiled awkwardly: "How could I have forgotten that? Chief Chu is unparalleled in ancient and modern times, erudite and multi-talented. For him to let you come here, he must have already given you a way to handle it.

Junior brother, if you need anything, I can help you get it these next few days."

Shi Xuan took out a storage bag and handed it over: "Senior brother, I must trouble you to buy some pills that can restore spiritual power for the Heavenly Origin Realm. If it's not enough, come find me for more."

Shi Yuqi didn't even look at the storage bag: "It's enough, it's enough. Junior Brother Shi, I am aware of your financial resources."

Soon, under Shi Yuqi's arrangement, Shi Xuan entered a low-grade quiet room.

Shi Yuqi was just about to leave when he was stopped by the deacon on duty.

"Junior Brother Shi, how could you be so careless? To actually bring a disciple emitting an aura of slaughter from head to toe into a low-grade quiet room. If he fails to suppress the aura of slaughter within him and damages our quiet room, that is a small matter. If a life is lost, none of us can bear the responsibility."

"Senior Brother Hong, do not be anxious. If you knew that person's identity, you would not have any worries."

Shi Yuqi said unhurriedly.

"Who is he?"

Senior Brother Hong retracted his anger and asked in return. A deacon who could be assigned to the Outer Affairs Court, with the exception of someone like Nie Xiuyuan, was mostly a slick and worldly person. Otherwise, he would have spoken up to stop Shi Yuqi before he even brought the person inside.

"That person is the disciple of Chief Chu."

Shi Yuqi replied with a beaming smile.

"So that's how it is."

Senior Brother Hong said, looking at Shi Yuqi with an envious gaze. Chief Chu was an existence who could very likely become the next academy head.

Even if he doesn't become the academy head, of the two Holy Sons under his name, one will eventually take charge of the Wen Dao Academy. To be able to build a connection with the Miscellaneous Dao Courtyard means a limitless future.

Shi Yuqi did not say more, cupping his hands and saying: "Senior brother, I still have matters to attend to, so I won't disturb you further."

"Mm."

After watching Shi Yuqi leave, Senior Brother Hong began to rack his brains, thinking of how to build a good relationship with the person inside.

Inside the quiet room.

Shi Xuan sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to chant the Buddhist scriptures his master had taught him.

As the sound of chanting rose, the aura of slaughter on his body also gradually dissipated.

Time passed day by day. Seven days later, Shi Xuan opened his eyes. He felt his body, and the aura of slaughter had completely disappeared. Most importantly, his state of mind had also been tempered.

The corners of his mouth slightly lifted as he spoke: "I didn't expect this aura of slaughter to have such a wonderful use. I wonder if Senior Brother Shi Yuqi has bought the pills I need yet?"

Shi Xuan opened the quiet room and slowly walked out...
