CHAPTER 386: CHAPTER 365 EMPEROR LEVEL MISSION

Qing Yi and Lin Lei agreed that in the future they would take turns going out to look after the children at set times, and for the rest of the time, they would be in secluded cultivation.

Fortunately, the children are all very understanding, knowing that Qing Yi and Lin Lei’s diligent cultivation is for everyone’s common future.

With such simple arrangements, within the Time Tower, Shi Nian, Qing Yi, and Lin Lei all began to cultivate fervently.

This space within the Time Tower surprisingly also contained Immortal Spirit Qi, and even denser than in the outside world. However, it still could not compare to directly consuming Elixirs.

Shi Nian had elixirs exchanged through the system.

Qing Yi and Lin Lei also had generous gifts from Xiao Bai, enough for their long-term cultivation.

Once Shi Nian began this seclusion, she completely lost herself in it.

With the aid of the Elixirs, her cultivation progressed rapidly. It hadn’t even been a year, yet she had already reached the Peak of Profound Immortal.

Afterward, Shi Nian paused her progression.

Normally speaking,

for one to improve their realm, besides the Mana Realm, the Soul Realm also needs to be elevated synchronously.

Moreover, the elevation of the Soul Realm is the most difficult part.

However, Shi Nian’s Soul Realm seemed to have no limits, continuously consuming Elixirs without ever feeling stagnant.

Now at the Peak of Profound Immortal, the system issued a task.

"Command Task: Slay ten Peak of Dark Demon experts. Then, you may ascend to Immortal Emperor."

This task, for Shi Nian, was not considered very difficult.

Seeing that Qing Yi and Lin Lei were still cultivating, she didn’t disturb them and quietly left instead.

Although nearly ten years had passed within the Time Tower, barely a year had elapsed outside.

In a place like the Lost Land, hundreds or thousands of years might pass with little change, let alone a mere year.

The outside world, generally, wouldn’t have experienced any significant changes.

Before leaving the mountain, Shi Nian first went to see Baldy and Xiao Huang.

With the help of Emperor Jiang, they had already successfully advanced to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and even their fur had gained some extra luster.

Seeing Shi Nian approaching, the two little ones jumped excitedly into her arms.

Holding the two little ones, Shi Nian said with some gratitude, "Senior Emperor Jiang, thank you for taking care of them."

Emperor Jiang did not speak, but simply stared at Shi Nian.

Shi Nian was a bit puzzled, "What’s wrong?"

Emperor Jiang still didn’t speak. He looked and looked, and after a long while, he finally spoke in an uncertain tone, "You are now... at the Peak of Profound Immortal?"

This!

That’s not right!

The last time they parted was less than a year ago.

Back then, she was just at the early stage of Profound Immortal.

And now, in just one year, she reached the peak of Profound Immortal?

What kind of speed is that!

Impossible, he must have seen wrongly.

Emperor Jiang couldn’t help but sense it several more times, and Shi Nian did not hide it, allowing him to sense freely.

After several times, Emperor Jiang finally confirmed it.

This human in front of him, was simply not normal!

Reaching the peak in one year, was she planning to ascend to Immortal Emperor Realm in two years?

The corners of Emperor Jiang’s lips twitched, unable to help asking, "How exactly did you cultivate to this level?"

Shi Nian coughed lightly and seriously said, "This relates to the most fundamental secret of this world."

What secret?

Emperor Jiang’s pupils contracted sharply.

As a Chaotic Beast, he should already be very close to the origin of this world.

Could there still be secrets in this world he didn’t know about?

Shi Nian said seriously, "The secret is that there are indeed true geniuses in this world! And I am that true genius."

"Squeak!"

"Squeak!"

Two little ones added a backing chorus.

Emperor Jiang initially thought he would hear some profound secret, but now, he was completely baffled.

Is this really the secret of the world’s origin?

"Emperor Jiang, try to be more open-minded," Shi Nian patted his shoulder.

"I will," Emperor Jiang replied subconsciously, then couldn’t help but stare at Shi Nian.

What did she mean by telling him to be open-minded?

He, a mighty Chaotic Beast who could even contend with an Immortal Venerable, what was there for him not to be open-minded about?

Emperor Jiang said nonchalantly, "You’re not even close to being a supreme genius. I’ve lived for so many years and have seen younger Profound Immortals everywhere. You still have a long way to go in your cultivation."

Emperor Jiang added, "In the eyes of top-notch powerhouses, the true journey of a strong being starts from the Emperor Level. Don’t think that just because you are at the Peak of Profound Immortal, you’re close. From Profound Immortal to Immortal Emperor, it’s an immensely huge gap. Some remain stuck at the Peak of Profound Immortal for ten thousand years without being able to step beyond. You still have a long way before you can advance."

Shi Nian nodded humbly, "That’s probably going to take some time."

Gathering ten Profound Immortals at their peak would take several days to accomplish.

Seeing that Shi Nian understood humility, Emperor Jiang nodded in satisfaction, "That’s right. Cultivate diligently, and one day you might reach the Emperor Level."

"Thank you for your guidance," Shi Nian said earnestly.

She played with the bald one and Xiao Huang for a while, then entrusted the two little ones to Emperor Jiang and took the Transmission Array back.

Qing Yi and Lin Lei were still not out of seclusion, Shi Nian met up with the children, and the wild mountain was somewhat trashed by their antics.

Shi Nian didn’t mind this, she thought for a while and had Little Tong build some simple slides and other children’s play equipment. She placed these in the clearing, and the children, who had been eagerly watching, rushed in to play as soon as Shi Nian gave permission.

This play equipment seemed to open a new world for them, and the children even began creating various things, suddenly finding life far from boring.

Seeing them enjoy their mischief, Shi Nian briefly instructed them, then left the cave abode.

She needed to hasten to complete her task of advancing to the Immortal Emperor.

Only by advancing to an Immortal Emperor would she truly have the power to protect herself in this Lost Land.

According to Emperor Jiang, there were a total of five Immortal Emperors and three Demon Emperors here, and they usually did not make appearances.

Once she broke through to Immortal Emperor, coupled with her powerful cultivation technique, she might not be able to beat them, but at least surviving would not be a problem.

Additionally, with Emperor Jiang backing her, her safety was even more assured.

Upholding the principle of prioritizing the Demon Clan, Shi Nian slipped into the Demon Domain once more.

"Little Tong, scan for eligible members of the Demon Clan."

Little Tong responded and began scanning.

Soon, she had scanned for the first target.

This address...

Shi Nian was somewhat surprised.

This place was exactly where she had killed the first batch of three members of the Demon Clan when she first arrived in the Demon World.

This member of the Demon Clan was particularly wealthy and was suspected to have powerful backing.

So after Shi Nian killed him, she only managed to take the Storage Bag and had to flee immediately.

This time.

This familiar cave now had a new owner.

According to Little Tong’s scan, this was a Peak Dark Demon, perfect for helping her complete her mission.

This cave abode turned out to be a really advantageous location for her.

Shi Nian sighed, then completely vanished into the void.
