Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

Xia Jin and Leng Yuexi lingered for a while before Xia Jin slowly stood up and said, "Yuexi, I need to go into seclusion for a few days."

Leng Yuexi nodded, "Husband, go ahead and I'll watch over you."

Xia Jin smiled faintly, turned around and walked into the inner hall.

As the palace doors closed.

He sat cross-legged on the cold jade bed, his mind sinking into the sea of ​​consciousness.

"system."

"Retrieve task rewards."

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received your mission reward: Eight thousand years of cultivation, Primordial Demon Emperor Technique (Beginner Level).]

The moment the words left her lips, Xia Jin's mind was completely focused on the cultivation technique she had just acquired: the Primordial Demon Emperor Technique.

Xia Jin frowned slightly, carefully sensing the profound mystery of this technique.

Three thousand years?! It actually takes three thousand years to deduce the Primordial Demon Emperor Technique from the initial stage to the Great Perfection stage?

Xia Jin's eyes widened when she saw the annotations at the end of the cultivation technique.

Since he acquired the system, he has never seen any cultivation technique that required such a long time to develop.

"Three thousand years..." Xia Jin's expression gradually became solemn, and a strange light appeared in her eyes. "It takes three thousand years to deduce it to perfection. Just what level of cultivation technique is this Primordial Demon Emperor Technique?"

He was silent for a moment.

Without hesitation, he immediately issued the order.

[System, use your three thousand years of cultivation to deduce the Primordial Demon Emperor Technique!]

[Received host's command, initiating deduction of the Primordial Demon Emperor Technique...]

[Deduction in progress... Please wait...]

As the system's voice faded, Xia Jin felt a mysterious and profound fluctuation surging from the depths of his consciousness, frantically pouring into every corner of his body.

Soon, less than ten breaths had passed.

An anomaly has occurred!

Xia Jin's originally black hair began to transform at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Starting from the roots of her hair, an eerie purplish-gold hue slowly spread and rapidly expanded. In just a few breaths, her entire head of black hair had turned purplish-gold.

At the same time, the sun mark between his eyebrows slowly appeared!

In the dim light, one could see a great sun rising and falling behind it, emitting terrifying energy.

But these are all just appearances.

The truly terrifying changes are yet to come.

Xia Jin closed her eyes tightly, and her aura began to undergo an uncontrollable transformation. It was an aura that transcended all things; although very faint, it clearly belonged to a higher level of existence.

The void behind him also gradually began to distort.

Strands of white flames drifted uncontrollably from his body.

It eventually transformed into a huge white halo, like the sun of a god, illuminating the entire inner hall as if it were daytime.

Xia Jin, who was sitting cross-legged in the center of the halo, now exuded an aura of looking down on all living beings and ruling the world.

It was as if he were the only emperor in the world.

Demon Emperor.

Unfortunately, no one outside noticed this astonishing phenomenon.

Whether by accident or not, the system unexpectedly intervened for the first time ever, directly concealing Xia Jin's aura.

In the pavilion outside the palace, Leng Yuexi remained seated quietly, but her eyes were fixed on the closed palace doors, a hint of worry flashing in them.

……

Time passed slowly.

After an unknown amount of time, the white halo behind Xia Jin's head gradually receded, transforming back into wisps of flame that disappeared into his body. The sun mark between his brows also slowly dimmed, disappearing beneath his skin.

Only her long, purple-gold hair remained striking, and it still hadn't returned to its original black color.

Xia Jin slowly opened her eyes.

A fleeting glint of purple-gold light flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"Three thousand years to achieve the Great Perfection of the Primordial Demon Emperor Technique..." Xia Jin's lips couldn't help but curl up slightly, and her hands clenched tightly together with excitement. "It was all worth it."

He could clearly feel that although his cultivation level did not seem to have improved, something within his body seemed to have been awakened.

If he wasn't mistaken, it was highly likely that his bloodline had undergone a transformation.

"Demon Emperor..." Xia Jin murmured, repeating the two words, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. "Could it be that one day, I too will become like that Demon Emperor? Interesting..."

Xia Jin unconsciously recalled the figure she had seen in that mysterious space after breaking through to the Divine Realm.

……

At the same time that Xia Jin went into seclusion.

Western Regions, Kasyapa Temple.

Inside the deepest stone tower in the temple, Venerable Miaodi sat cross-legged.

He clasped his hands together, and the bottle of life energy liquid he had obtained from the temple's assessment floated silently in front of him.

Even ordinary people would know that the emerald green liquid contained terrifying vitality.

Even with the experience of Venerable Miaodi through nine lifetimes, whose mind was already as calm as still water, he still couldn't quite control his excitement at this moment.

He took a deep breath and slowly calmed himself down.

He slowly reached out and pulled out the cork.

In just a moment,

A faint, almost imperceptible aura wafted out of the bottle.

The aura was so faint that it was almost imperceptible, but the moment it drifted out of the stone pagoda, the entire area within a hundred miles of Kasyapa Temple underwent a dramatic transformation in a short period of time!

The once dry ground sprouted new green shoots at a visible speed, growing to a foot tall in the blink of an eye.

Immediately afterwards, wildflowers bloomed in the grass.

And all of this was simply because of that wisp of aura.

Inside a Buddhist city outside the temple.

An elderly man who had been bedridden for decades suddenly felt a sense of lightness throughout his body. He sat up in disbelief and looked down at his hands, where his once withered skin had become rosy and plump.

He tried to stand up and took a few steps.

The old man stood frozen in place, then suddenly knelt down with a thud, tears streaming down his face as he looked towards the direction of Kasyapa Temple: "Buddha has shown us! Buddha has shown us!"

In a more distant village, a dying child suddenly opened his eyes and called out in a clear voice, "Mother."

His mother was stunned for a moment, then hugged her child and burst into tears, kowtowing repeatedly towards the direction of Kasyapa Temple as she cried.

One place after another.

Within a hundred miles, all the wounded and sick were completely healed.

Countless people came out of their houses, knelt down in the direction of Kasyapa Temple, and prayed devoutly while chanting incantations.

May Buddha protect us!

"The Living Buddha of Kasyapa Monastery has manifested his power!"

"Amitabha! Amitabha!"

The chanting of Buddhist scriptures rose and fell, converging into a vast wave of sound.

……

Inside Kassapa Temple.

Abbot Liansheng was meditating in his meditation room when he suddenly seemed to sense something and abruptly opened his eyes.

His figure suddenly disappeared, then reappeared outside the meditation room, his eyes fixed on the stone pagoda.

At the top of the tower, a faint wisp of emerald green light was slowly dissipating.

"This is... could it be..." Abbot Liansheng seemed to have guessed something.

"Nine lifetimes of reincarnation...nine lifetimes of reincarnation!" he murmured to himself, "The Venerable Myo-di...he has finally arrived! My Kasyapa Temple is about to usher in a great era of prosperity."

He took a deep breath, slowly landed in front of the stone tower, and then respectfully bowed deeply in the direction of the stone tower.

"Disciple Liansheng congratulates Venerable Miaodi!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly into the tower.

Inside the stone tower, Venerable Miaodi did not respond. He simply opened his mouth slightly, and the liquid in the bottle fell directly into his mouth.

A green aura, like a silkworm cocoon, enveloped him completely.
