It turns out that this Mystic Dragon Seal was initially crafted by a prominent figure of the righteous path. Later, after the sect was destroyed by the Nine-headed Demon Dragon, it was acquired by a great master of the demonic path at that time.

He then refined the Mystic Dragon Seal into a demonic magical treasure. Eventually, he was besieged by the masters of the Xuanhuang Tower and the Carefree Sword, and after his death, the Mystic Dragon Seal, due to being excessively demonized, was sealed jointly by the Xuanhuang Tower and the Carefree Sword in this nameless small pond. In order to prevent it from breaking the seal and causing chaos again, the Xuanhuang Tower and Carefree Sword formed an array to suppress the demonized Mystic Dragon Seal.

The reason the cyan light and golden light opposed each other earlier was because the Carefree Sword was nearing its limit, needing the Xuanhuang Tower to suppress together. However, in the end, the demonized Mystic Dragon Seal seized the opportunity and escaped.

Actually, the demonized Mystic Dragon Seal had been safely suppressed for hundreds of years. The reason it broke the seal this time was precisely due to Ye Tianfan's blood. Without that blood claiming ownership, the demonized Seal would never have broken the seal.

Moreover, Ye Tianfan learned that the demonized Mystic Dragon Seal could become a normal Mystic Dragon Seal again as long as large amounts of upright Spiritual Qi purified it, erasing the demonic aura entirely.

After Ye Tianfan learned about this, he almost grinned from ear to ear. He suddenly acquired three top-tier magical treasures. Although one couldn't be used at the moment, with continuous purification, he would eventually be able to use it someday.

Furthermore, the Carefree Sword and Xuanhuang Tower could be used directly, with one for offense and one for defense. His strength at the Grand Mysterious Realm would ensure that absolutely no one could defeat him unless their magical treasure was better than these two.

Although these are external strengths, they're still considered a form of strength.

Ye Tianfan felt his adventure this time was worth it, with three top-tier magical treasures. He definitely made a breakthrough, although he didn't know to which realm, but he had definitely broken through.

Ye Tianfan felt that the Spiritual Qi within him increased several times compared to before and its quality was much stronger.

Ye Tianfan joyfully summoned the Fire Lotus Sword, determined his direction, and prepared to return to his sect. He didn't summon the Carefree Sword because he was only initially practicing with it, still not proficient. He decided to practice properly upon returning to his sect before using it.

After a day and a night, Ye Tianfan saw a familiar city below.

"I remember this is Yu Garden City, isn't it? I passed through here when I first went out to train. I didn't expect my speed to be so fast now, traveling here in a day and night. Let's go down and rest, I've flown so long, I'm tired." Ye Tianfan stretched lazily in mid-air and landed outside the city.

Entering the city, Ye Tianfan went straight to the tavern he visited before, Jade Tower Garden, and directly asked the waiter to open a VIP room with a elegant seat. Coincidentally, the spot from last time was unoccupied, so he sat there again.

After ordering the same dishes from last time and finishing them, seeing that it was still early and he had enough time, Ye Tianfan decided not to rest at Jade Tower Garden, instead heading outside the city and flying sword back to his sect.

On seeing Taichu Peak again, Ye Tianfan no longer felt like last time. This time he could vaguely sense something enshrouding the entire Taichu Sect, likely the array of the Taichu Sect.

After entering the array, Ye Tianfan changed direction and flew towards Taichu Peak.

"I say, you all need to work hard. The Nine Veins Martial Arts Contest will start in less than half a year. If we don't bring back good ranks this time, we'll all be made to train hard by Master." You Tianjiao admonished these junior disciples in front of him, angry at their laziness.

"Isn't there still our young junior brother? Once he returns from training, he'll surely surpass us all."

"Yes, there's still our young junior brother. We just need to put in a bit of effort."

"Exactly, exactly. Instead of wasting time, we should be writing and reading more!"

"You... you..." You Tianjiao was infuriated hearing the juniors' nonsense: "Today I'll test you, anyone who doesn't defeat me must go into seclusion and cannot leave before the Nine Veins Martial Arts Contest."

"Ah! What? Why like this!"

"Exactly, exactly."

"How... huh? What's that in the sky?" Suddenly, fifth junior brother Su Tianxing saw a red dot in the sky.

"What?" Upon hearing this, You Tianjiao and others turned to look up.

They saw the red dot growing larger with a person standing faintly atop it.

"Is this... junior brother?" Su Tianxing uncertainly remarked.

"It's your junior brother!" Suddenly, an austere voice devoid of humor sounded behind them.

"Master!"

The group turned their heads to see it was Tian Chu Zhenren!

"Master, why have you come out?" Fourth junior brother Xue Tianjie asked Tian Chu Zhenren.

"I sensed someone triggered the array, so I checked and found it was Little Seventh returning." Tian Chu Zhenren said calmly.

But Tian Chu Zhenren's heart was far from calm internally. Such speed, at least the Grand Mysterious Sixth Layer and above. Ye Tianfan had only been out training for how long? Less than a month.

Crossing from the fourth to sixth layer in less than a month was insane.

However, what Tian Chu Zhenren didn't know was Ye Tianfan indeed broke through, but not only to the sixth layer, he nearly reached the seventh layer. With a few days of focused cultivation, he could achieve the seventh layer.

As the master and disciples were still conversing, Ye Tianfan suddenly descended.

"Greetings, Master, and fellow senior brothers." Ye Tianfan bowed respectfully to everyone.

"Little junior brother!" Seeing Ye Tianfan descend, You Tianjiao happily rubbed his hair.

And once this rubbing started, everyone began joining in except for Tian Chu Zhenren, who, needing to maintain dignity, refrained from such frivolous actions.

"Little Seventh has returned; it's good that you're back." Tian Chu Zhenren nodded appreciatively, refraining from asking about the adventure details, knowing everyone has their own fortunes. Speaking about them only risked imitation, and possible troubles would outweigh any benefits.

"Oh right, Master!" Ye Tianfan suddenly remembered a matter; those three individuals following him when he first set out.

Subsequently, Ye Tianfan recounted this matter in detail to Tian Chu Zhenren.

After listening, Tian Chu Zhenren pondered briefly before addressing the disciples: "This matter is significant. I'll consult with the Sect Leader Senior. Meanwhile, focus on your cultivation."
