Chapter 913 Double breakthrough
Situ Xuanming immediately cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you for protecting my elder sister, Venerable One. The Situ family will definitely compensate the Haoran Sect for its losses."

Haoran Zhenzun nodded and said:
"Since she is in the Haoran Sect, I will not let anything happen to your elder sister, nor will I interrupt her breakthrough. The Situ family will make up for the spiritual veins she has consumed."

After speaking, he beckoned to Hao Hui, who then appeared beside Hao Ran Zhen Zun.

"Ancestor, what are your orders?"

"You stay here and watch over the Situ family's maid. I'm going to check on Yunxi; she can't ascend for the time being."

"Yes, old man."

The next instant, the Great Venerable Haoran disappeared from mid-air and headed straight for the back mountain.

When Yunxi regained consciousness, she found herself in a different place. With a sweep of her divine sense, she saw Haoran Zhenzun playing chess not far away. She immediately got up and sat down opposite Haoran Zhenzun.

"Ancestor, how did I end up in the back mountain?"

Haoran Zhenzun raised his hand and placed a white piece on the chessboard before looking up and saying:
"Take a look at your own cultivation level."

Yunxi obediently used her divine sense to examine herself and found that her cultivation level was steadily at the peak of the late Mahayana stage, and she could break through to the Immortal Rank and ascend at any time. She immediately patted her chest, thank goodness, it was just a little bit short.

She immediately recalled what had happened and understood what was going on. Calmly, she took a black piece from the chess box, placed it on the chessboard, and explained:

"I watched Situ Xuanwu refine weapons before, and the rhythm of her tapping gave me some inspiration, which is why I accidentally advanced again."

Seeing that the entire game had changed because of Yunxi's move with a black piece, Haoran Zhenzun said in an annoyed tone:

"I think you've lost your vigilance while staying in the sect. How could you let yourself break through under those circumstances? If you were interrupted, it would definitely damage your meridians. You must not be so reckless in the future."

Yunxi immediately replied with a smile:

"The old master is right. It was because you were in charge of the sect that I was careless. I will definitely not do it again in the future."

Seeing that Yunxi's attitude in admitting her mistake was good, Haoran Zhenzun then said:
“Situ Xuanwu is also breaking through, and she will at least reach the late stage of Mahayana. This will be of great help to the array plates you are refining.”

After hearing this, Yunxi smiled and revealed a pair of dimples:
"Ancestor, it seems that even Heaven is on our side."

Haoran Zhenzun nodded and said:

"You need to stay calm as you get closer to the end, because it's easy to make mistakes at this stage."

"Don't worry, Ancestor. I know what I'm doing. I've already taken ninety-nine steps, so I need to make sure I take the last one carefully to prevent the evil cultivators from taking advantage of me."

"It's good that you know what's going on. Play this game of chess with me before you go to the Weapon Refining Peak."

"Yes."

Yunxi obediently played chess with Haoran Zhenzun in the back mountain. After the winner was determined, Situ Xuanwu on the other side had successfully broken through to the late stage of Mahayana. Because she broke through while refining the array plate, she used the enormous spiritual power to advance in rank and also completed the refining of the array plate.

Situ Xuanwu felt as if she had only been distracted for a moment, and the array plate in her hand was already finished. She found Xuanming looking at her with a smile and cupping his hands in greeting:

"Big sister, congratulations on breaking through to the late stage of Mahayana and successfully refining the array plate."

Situ Xuanwu then noticed the abnormality in himself, especially the spiritual energy that had not yet dissipated around him. Upon internal inspection with his divine sense, he discovered that he had indeed broken through to the late stage of Mahayana, which greatly surprised him.

Situ Xuanming also answered her questions:
"You and True Venerable Ranxi broke through at the same time, causing a great fluctuation in the spiritual energy within the sect, which alarmed True Venerable Haoran. To prevent the two of you from interfering with each other, he sent Ranxi to another place to advance, while you stayed in the weapon-refining room. I guess it's because you had previously refined several Immortal-grade robes and gained something, which is why you were able to draw upon the power of laws when refining the Immortal-grade array plate and break through unconsciously."

This was the most reasonable explanation he could think of.

Situ Xuanwu smiled and said:

"I must thank Venerable Haoran no matter what."

"Don't worry, elder sister. I have already thanked the True Venerable and promised that the Situ family will make up for the spiritual veins of the sect that you lost during this breakthrough."

"Good job, very well done."

After Situ Xuanwu finished speaking, she handed the blank array plate she had just finished crafting to Xuanming and instructed him:

"Give this array plate to Fellow Daoist Ranxi. I need to go into seclusion for a while. I imagine Ranxi will also go into seclusion when she breaks through. We will refine the second array plate after we both come out of seclusion."

Tell your family what's happening here. We'll stay at the Haoran Sect for a while, so please don't be impolite.

"Don't worry, elder sister, I know what to do. You go into seclusion first, and leave the rest to me."

Situ Xuanming patted his chest and agreed. Xuanwu then went into seclusion in the weapon-refining room, while Xuanming sought out Haohui to explain the situation and also sent a message to the family.

Hao Hui naturally welcomed this and also arranged for Situ Xuanming to stay at the Weapon Refining Peak so that he could keep watch over Xuanwu nearby.

A month later, the second elder of the Situ family brought a top-grade spiritual vein to the Haoran Sect to express the family's sincere gratitude. He briefly met with Situ Xuanming, exchanged a few words, and then returned to the family with peace of mind.

Situ Xuanwu spent a year in seclusion. During this year, Yunxi refined the Soul Thunder, taught her disciples, and even managed to successfully inscribe a blank array plate with divine runes. After being struck by ten bolts of heavenly lightning, the array plate was successfully upgraded to the Immortal Rank, which at least put Yunxi's mind at ease.

A year later, Situ Xuanwu emerged from seclusion after consolidating her cultivation. Because of the improvement in her cultivation, she was much more adept at refining the array plate the second time.

This time, the two joined forces to simultaneously complete the forging of the array plate and the inscription of the array patterns. The moment the array plate was completed, it attracted a lightning tribulation. This time, Situ Xuanwu stopped Yunxi from helping to share the burden of the lightning tribulation, and calmly said:
"The strength of the array plate we've refined this time is definitely enough to withstand the lightning tribulation, and its power will be even greater than the first array plate."

After hearing this, Yunxi withdrew the Frostbite Needle from her hand. Actually, she just wanted to take advantage of the tribulation to temper her natal magic weapon. She had the Seven Star Deadly Staff and the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella, and she couldn't miss the Frostbite Needle either, but she ended up failing.

This time, the ten lightning tribulations were even more spectacular. The formed array plates were all struck into deep pits, but they still withstood the tempering of the tribulation lightning and maintained their immortal rank.

Yunxi took the array plate that had survived the tribulation and examined it. Satisfied, she said to Situ Xuanwu beside her:
"Fellow Daoist Xuanwu, you have succeeded. This array plate is even more stable than the previous ones."

Situ Xuanwu cupped his hands and said:
"We succeeded! We have fulfilled our mission. Xuanming and I should return to our family now."

Yunxi flipped her hand to put away the array plate and returned the gesture with a cupped hand:

"In that case, I will not keep you two any longer. We will join hands and advance together when we ascend to the Spirit Realm."

Situ Xuanwu laughed heartily and replied with a "good".

The next day, the Situ siblings left the Haoran Sect. Yunxi personally saw them off and handed over the breakthrough potion that Situ Xuanming wanted to them.

After the two left, most of the bigwigs in the Spirit Realm knew that the array plate that destroyed the passage connecting the Boundless Ruins and the Ancient Battlefield had been successfully crafted.

The ten-year garrison mission in the ancient battlefield is about to end. This time, Haoran Zhenzun was about to take over the task of overseeing the battle, but Yunxi stopped him.

“Ancestor, it’s more appropriate for me to go this time. I need to find out the exact location of the passage.”
