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

Su Xuanji composed herself, straightened her skirt, and then stepped towards the Jinwang Palace.

The guards at the door all looked at Su Xuanji in surprise, but did not stop her.

As soon as Su Xuanji reached the door, she saw Xia Jin sitting cross-legged on the cold jade bed, her eyes slightly closed.

Clearly, expanding Wei Gonggong's meridians had consumed a significant amount of his true energy.

Seemingly sensing Su Xuanji's arrival, Xia Jin slowly opened her eyes, her gaze falling on the red figure at the door, and she was slightly taken aback.

When Su Xuanji saw him looking over, her heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason. She walked up to Xia Jin and bowed, saying, "Your Highness."

Xia Jin looked Su Xuanji up and down, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes. His tone was slightly teasing: "This is quite unusual. This is the first time I've seen Sect Leader Su dressed like this. Could it be that you did this especially for me?"

Upon hearing this, Su Xuanji blushed slightly and blurted out, "What? Doesn't it look good?"

As soon as she said it, she realized that her tone seemed to be too concerned about the other person's opinion, which was somewhat inappropriate.

Xia Jin shook her head: "It looks pretty good on you. It's quite different from your usual fitted outfits, giving you a unique charm. This outfit suits you well; you can wear it more often in your free time."

"Your Highness is too kind." Su Xuanji's eyes lit up, but she turned her head away to avoid his smiling gaze.

Seeing this, Xia Jin didn't dwell on the topic any further.

"Alright, enough chit-chat, are you ready?"

Su Xuanji's expression turned serious, and she nodded earnestly: "Yes, Your Highness, I'll leave the rest to you!"

"Okay." Xia Jin got off the cold jade bed, pointed to the seat in front of her, and said, "Sit down."

Su Xuanji didn't shy away from the situation. She sat down cross-legged opposite Xia Jin, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.

"Calm down, I'm about to begin!" Xia Jin's eyes became serious as he extended his palms and gently placed them on Su Xuanji's back.

The next instant, a warm and strange true energy slowly flowed from his palm into Su Xuanji's body.

"Next, circulate your true energy and guide my true energy into your dantian. Do not resist." Xia Jin's voice rang in her ear.

Su Xuanji nodded, and the pure and gentle true energy within her body began to flow slowly, actively accepting the strange true energy surging into her body.

The two streams of true energy were initially slightly distinct, but with Xia Jin's precise control and Su Xuanji's wholehearted cooperation, they quickly blended together like water and milk, becoming one.

"Calm your mind and follow my guidance to attack the three major acupoints: Shenque, Qihai, and Guanyuan! This is the key to advancing to the Grandmaster level!"

Unconsciously, Xia Jin's voice took on a serious tone.

Helping someone break through a difficult situation was a first for him.

If anything goes wrong, not only might Su Xuanji perish, but he might also suffer a backlash!

"boom!"

Upon the first impact, Su Xuanji's body trembled slightly, sweat beaded on her forehead, and a muffled thud came from within her body.

Xia Jin remained expressionless and continued to activate the true energy generated by the Nine Revolutions Creation Scripture.

Half an hour later, Su Xuanji's aura had reached its peak, her clothes were fluttering without wind, and a look of pain appeared on her face.

This is the moment!

A glint flashed in Xia Jin's eyes, and she uttered a low shout: "Break!"

He thrust both palms forward with a sudden burst of energy, the combined power of his inner energy crashing violently into the already crumbling barrier of the three orifices!

"Click—"

The sound of something shattering seemed to emanate from Su Xuanji's body.

Immediately afterwards, an aura far more powerful than the previous Grandmaster realm erupted from her body!

A powerful shockwave swept outwards from her.

Grandmaster! Success!

A hint of joy flashed across Su Xuanji's face. She slowly opened her eyes, and her entire demeanor seemed to have undergone a transformation, losing some of its sharpness and gaining more tact.

"I did it! I really... broke through to the Grandmaster level!" Feeling the surging true energy within her body, Su Xuanji couldn't hide her excitement.

She was very clear that although the difference between the ninth level of the Grandmaster Realm and the first level of the Great Grandmaster Realm was only one realm, they were actually worlds apart.

Many people spend their entire lives stuck at this threshold.

Xia Jin slowly withdrew her palms, a sigh of relief on her face.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness!" Su Xuanji stood up and bowed deeply to Xia Jin with utmost solemnity.

"Alright! No need for thanks!" Xia Jin waved her hand, her voice slightly tired. "You can try your current state and feel the power of a Grandmaster."

"Alright!" Su Xuanji didn't hesitate. Her gaze swept over the weapon rack on the side of the hall, and she directly took down a long sword.

She didn't use any complicated sword techniques; she simply waved her hand casually, and streams of sword energy silently spread out.

With a few soft "hissing" sounds, several sword marks of varying depths appeared on the hard wall not far away.

"As expected, the Grandmaster realm is truly different!!" Su Xuanji stopped her sword, her eyes filled with even greater joy.

"These next few days, you should familiarize yourself with the power of a Grandmaster." Xia Jin looked at Su Xuanji, but then changed the subject, "Next, I have something that I need you and your Hehuan Sect to do."

Su Xuanji straightened her expression, put the longsword back in its place, walked back to Xia Jin, and solemnly said, "Your Highness, please speak. Whatever Your Highness commands, the entire Hehuan Sect will do its utmost."

"No rush." ​​Xia Jin took out another letter that she had prepared beforehand from her bosom and handed it over.

"The details are all contained within. Take a close look when you get back. Remember, this matter must be kept absolutely confidential."

A hint of doubt flashed in Su Xuanji's eyes, but she didn't ask any further questions. She took the letter with both hands, carefully put it away, and solemnly replied, "Understood."

"Hmm," Xia Jin's face appeared somewhat pale in the moonlight. He waved his hand at Su Xuanji, "You've just advanced to Grandmaster today, and you need time to consolidate your gains. If there's nothing else, go back and rest."

"Yes," Su Xuanji replied.

However, just as she was about to leave, her gaze fell upon Xia Jin's face, and she couldn't help but ask with concern, "Your Highness... are you alright?"

Xia Jin shook her head. "It's alright, it's just that it's quite taxing. I can recover after one night of recuperation."

Seeing that he said that, Su Xuanji knew she couldn't stay any longer.

Her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she only said, "Then... take care, Your Highness. Xuanji takes her leave."

Only after stepping out of the palace and feeling the cool breeze blowing in her face did Su Xuanji let out a soft breath.

I always feel a strange emptiness in my heart.

She glanced back at the Prince Jin's Palace and couldn't help but frown.

"Did I...did I just miss a good opportunity?" A strange thought popped into my head.

But then, Su Xuanji shook her head violently, forcefully banishing the absurd thought from her mind, her cheeks flushing slightly again in the night.

"Su Xuanji, Su Xuanji, what nonsense are you thinking? I'm only here today to advance to the Grandmaster level! That's all!"
