...

They reunited after forty thousand years.

The two indulged in mountain exploration and sightseeing, yet their cultivation remained unwavering.

Through constant enlightenment, Wang Yan’s cultivation might still be at the Ninth Layer of the Heavenly Ladder, but her strength has multiplied several times compared to forty thousand years ago.

"Twelve Divine Skills."

"It seems the ’Vajra Mantra’ won’t have time to advance to the Third Realm."

Chen Jichuan glanced at Wang Yan, fully understanding the situation.

Over these forty thousand years, he systematically derived super-level techniques into Divine Skills for Wang Yan to utilize.

Pure Heart Mantra.

Wind Thunder Walking.

Vajra Mantra.

Guiyuan Cangtian Technique.

All Heavens Desire Demon Five Lustful Fat Magic.

Five Elements Escape Technique.

Heaven Mending Seal.

Seven Divine Skills were all imparted to Wang Yan, along with enlightenment to aid her comprehension. After forty thousand years, including these seven Divine Skills, all of them have vastly progressed, with her primary Divine Skills reaching at least the Second Realm.

Among them, the Seven Emotions Magic Sword, Pure Heart Mantra, Dayan Divination Method, and Wind Thunder Walking have even broken past limits, reaching the Third Realm.

A sixth-realm super-level technique or seventh-realm super-level technique is roughly equivalent to a Divine Skill just entering the Second Realm.

The might of a Third Realm Divine Skill is nearly unimaginable.

This has already surpassed the grasp of Fourth-order Immortals.

Take Yu Ming Immortal Venerable as an example.

He possesses two Divine Skills, one of which, the ’Ruyi Qingling Great Handprint,’ has been cultivated and comprehended for over four hundred thousand years, yet it remains at the Second Realm, considerably inferior to Wang Yan now.

Forty thousand years of comprehension.

Forty thousand times enlightenment.

It equates to four million years of arduous cultivation.

Wang Yan’s strength has been elevated by Chen Jichuan over these forty thousand years to an utterly terrifying level.

Twelve Divine Skills.

Four Third Realm Divine Skills.

Five Second Realm Divine Skills.

Wang Yan’s cultivation already leads in Chongming Realm, and now she could effortlessly crush Fourth-order Immortals and even has a chance to escape safely from Fifth-order Great Powers.

Among Fourth-order Immortals, she’s undoubtedly a top-tier prodigy.

Chen Jichuan originally planned to help Wang Yan ascend her Divine Skill derived from the ’Three-in-One Indestructible Golden Light Body Protection Technique,’ the ’Vajra Mantra,’ to the Third Realm before she left Chongming Realm.

Thus, her arsenal would lack no aspect—attack, divination, speed, defense—and be free from weaknesses.

But time was insufficient.

...

"There’s still plenty of time."

Wang Yan felt a bit aggrieved and pursed her lips. "The ’Seven Emotions Immortal Sword Scripture’ I’ve cultivated can extend lifespan by thirty-three thousand years at the Upper Immortal stage. Coupled with the additional forty-eight thousand years of lifespan from immortal energy, I have a total of one hundred and twenty-nine thousand years at the Upper Immortal stage. I’m only in my eighties right now—there’s still plenty of time left."

"Seven Emotions Immortal Sword Scripture."

This cultivation technique was created by Chen Jichuan by fusing Wang Yan’s ’Seven Emotions Magic Sword’ and ’Azure Dragon Longevity Scripture,’ forming a True Sect Level cultivation method. Upon reaching the Upper Immortal stage, it can extend lifespan by thirty-three thousand years.

Fourth-order Immortals originally have forty-eight thousand years of longevity.

The immortal energy within the Nine Heavens adds another forty-eight thousand years.

Summed up, it becomes exactly one hundred and twenty-nine thousand years.

Wang Yan is not even eighty-nine thousand years old yet and still has forty thousand years of lifespan remaining.

By this calculation, time indeed seems ample.

"But are you confident that you can ascend to the Fifth-order within forty thousand years?"

Chen Jichuan was reluctant as well but knew, "Your progress in Daoist cultivation recently has stagnated almost entirely for ten thousand years. Among the ’Joy, Anger, Worry, Longing, Sadness, Fear, Shock’ Seven Realms, only ’Joyful Realm’ and ’Miss Thought Realm’ have the highest accomplishments for you. To ascend to the Fifth-order, breakthroughs in the other five realms are necessary. Such breakthroughs, however, are unattainable while you’re within Chongming Realm. Only upon leaving could hope arise. Forty thousand years is already tight—it cannot be delayed further!"

Back when Chen Jichuan ascended from Third-order to Fourth-order, he struggled for many long years. Ultimately, it was by walking the Independent Immortal path, enduring the Eleventh Tribulation, and under the oppressive pressure of Heaven and Earth Tribulation, that he gained insight into the profundities of the Fourth-order and finally ascended to Upper Immortal in this lifetime.

The effort invested is difficult to put into words.

This was merely ascending from Third-order to Fourth-order.

Whereas ascending from Fourth-order to Fifth-order—its difficulty is tens or even hundreds of times greater than the last.

Three thousand years after their reunion, Wang Yan swiftly climbed to the Ninth Layer of the Fourth Realm, achieving perfection in Essence Qi, Spirit, and Vitality—the Three Treasures—and reaching the pinnacle of Fourth-order.

But for nearly forty thousand years afterward, Wang Yan remained in the Fourth Realm, stuck at the Ninth Layer, unable to break through.

"Seven Emotions Immortal Sword Scripture" prioritizes ’Realm’ as its core.

Being with Chen Jichuan within Chongming Realm, their lives were blissfully harmonious: dual cultivation, mutual companionship—’Joyful Realm’ made leaps in progress, ’Miss Thought Realm’ remained consistent, while great strides were achieved in the other five realms through enlightenment. Nevertheless, all still lack that final breakthrough.

Forty thousand years of accumulation.

Wang Yan’s foundations are already incomparably solid, reaching the peak of Fourth-order.

The gap to Fifth-order seems merely a single step away.

Dragon meets Tiger.

Perhaps the next moment could be the ascent to Fifth-order.

Yet, bad fortune may confine one to an unchanging environment, potentially leading to stagnation indefinitely at this final step.

With their capabilities, they shouldn’t and needn’t gamble their luck.
