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

Hehuan Sword Sect.

Xia Jin's figure stepped out of the void and appeared in Zhou Suxin's room.

A faint, pleasant fragrance filled the room, the unique scent of Zhou Suxin.

At this moment, she was sitting cross-legged on the bed, her eyes slightly closed, and spiritual energy flowing around her, clearly indicating that she was cultivating diligently.

Watching this scene, Xia Jin's lips unconsciously curled into a slight smile, a warmth rising in his heart. He didn't make a sound to disturb them, but instead tiptoed to the bedside and leaned closer.

Zhou Suxin was in a meditative state when she suddenly felt a slight warmth on her face—it was the breath of someone breathing.

She suddenly opened her eyes.

The first thing I saw was a handsome face right up close.

"Husband...husband?! You're back?"

A bright and radiant smile instantly bloomed on Zhou Suxin's face.

Xia Jin didn't answer, but just chuckled, reached out and picked her up, then sat down on the edge of the bed and gently placed the person in his arms on his lap.

Zhou Suxin blushed slightly at his sudden action, but she didn't struggle. Instead, she naturally leaned into his arms, her eyes filled with undisguised joy.

"You haven't been slacking off while I was away; your cultivation has improved considerably since I left." Xia Jin looked down at her, her tone tinged with approval.

"Husband, how did things go these past few days?" Zhou Suxin reached out and gently stroked Xia Jin's face with her slender fingertips before asking softly.

Xia Jin nodded. "Of course! With your husband on the case, there's nothing he can't handle. And this time, they've actually gained quite a bit!"

As he spoke, his tone shifted, becoming serious: "Over the next few days, I will help you break through to the Great Power Realm. After that, you will come with me back to the Glazed Sword Sect."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Suxin's eyes first flashed with surprise, which then turned into deep emotion.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, my husband. From now on, I'll do my best to cooperate with whatever you say!"

Xia Jin looked at her obedient appearance and suddenly laughed.

"Oh? Really? In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Madam, to ease my longing for you during this time."

Zhou Suxin's face flushed bright red instantly. Before she could say anything, Xia Jin lowered his head and kissed her directly.

......

half a month later.

The back garden of Zhou Suxin's mansion, the Hehuan Sword Sect.

Zhou Suxin leaned quietly in Xia Jin's arms, her aura completely different from half a month ago.

That's the aura only found in those at the Great Power Realm.

With Xia Jin's tireless help over the past two weeks, Zhou Suxin finally successfully stepped into the threshold of the Great Power Realm.

From this day forward, she will be the second great master of the Hehuan Sword Sect since its founding!

Zhou Suxin raised her head and looked at Xia Jin's angular profile, her eyes slightly reddening.

"My husband, if it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I would have been stuck at the ninth level of the Dragon Transformation Realm for the rest of my life, never able to even glimpse the path to the Great Power Realm. But since I met you, and since we became Daoist partners, in just a few short months, you have helped me step into a realm that I never dared to even dream of before."

As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer.

"Knowing my husband and becoming his Daoist partner is the greatest blessing in my life."

"Uh..." Xia Jin's heart trembled slightly as she listened to Zhou Suxin's emotional words.

But he soon felt a little uncomfortable and subconsciously reached out to touch his nose.

After all, only he himself knew that his initial purpose in becoming Daoist partners with Zhou Suxin was not so simple; he was after the Hehuan Sword Intent.

He only wanted to use the name of this Daoist partner to obtain the Hehuan Sword Intent, and then comprehend the legendary Mortal World Sword Intent from it. As for what happened afterward, to be honest, he didn't think too much about it at the time.

But who knew that along the way, he himself gradually accepted Zhou Suxin's feelings.

Xia Jin could only manage a weak laugh, and gently brushed the tip of her nose with her finger: "You should thank your husband, then you'll have to work harder tonight."

Zhou Suxin was taken aback at first, then understood the meaning behind his words. She blushed deeply, raised her fist, and playfully punched Xia Jin in the chest, saying coquettishly, "Hmph! Husband, you're always like this, breaking the atmosphere when I'm trying to be serious. You're never serious!"

Xia Jin laughed after being hit by her punch, "Alright, I'll stop teasing you. It's getting late, it's time to come back to the Glazed Sword Sect with me."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Suxin dropped her coquettish demeanor, straightened up from Xia Jin's embrace, and her expression became serious.

"I will obey my husband in everything."

Xia Jin put one arm around Zhou Suxin's waist and waved the other hand forward, instantly creating a void passage in front of them.

"Let's go."

As soon as they finished speaking, their figures disappeared into the distorted void.

......

Glazed Sword Sect.

The main hall of the sect is located on the highest mountain peak.

Sect Leader Leng Wushuang sat cross-legged, with four iron swords silently floating in mid-air in front of her.

Under her control, four distinct offensive sword intents flickered continuously from the four swords, and the entire hall was completely enveloped in a fierce killing aura.

That's right, this is the sword intent she specially imitated and cultivated based on Xia Jin's replica of the Four Swords of Zhuxian.

Although she has not yet fully grasped the essence of these four offensive sword intents, Leng Wushuang can clearly feel that her strength has increased by more than double compared to three months ago!

The sword intent of these Four Swords of Zhuxian is truly mysterious and unfathomable!

As Leng Wushuang was inwardly sighing, she suddenly opened her eyes.

"Huh? Who? Who dares to trespass on my Glazed Sword Sect?!"

A sharp, cold light flashed in her eyes as her gaze was fixed on the distorted void in the very center of the hall.

The four iron swords in front of her suddenly surged with sword intent, ready to strike at almost the same time.

Black cracks appeared out of thin air in that void.

Leng Wushuang narrowed his eyes slightly, ready to make a move at any moment.

However, the next second, her body suddenly relaxed.

Two figures emerged from the distorted void, one after the other.

It was Xia Jin and another woman who looked somewhat familiar to her.

Elder Zhou from the Hehuan Sect?

Leng Wushuang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, slowly withdrawing the spiritual energy circulating around her. The four iron swords also quieted down again and flew directly behind her.

However, when she looked at Xia Jin, her face was filled with horror.

"What's wrong with this kid? He's only been away from the Glazed Sword Sect for a few months, so why can't I see through him anymore?"

Leng Wushuang felt that in her eyes, Xia Jin at this moment seemed to be just like an ordinary person, and she could not detect any aura at all.

Could it be that this kid's cultivation level has far surpassed mine?

Leng Wushuang unconsciously shook her head. How could this be?

No matter how fast a person cultivates, it is absolutely impossible to leap from the half-step Great Power Realm to the Great Power Realm in just a few months.

Moreover, it wasn't even at the first or second level of the Great Power Realm.

Leng Wushuang suspiciously withdrew her gaze, then looked at Zhou Suxin beside Xia Jin.

Zhou Suxin was naturally nestled beside Xia Jin, a happy smile on her face, her eyes full of tenderness.

Leng Wushuang wore a half-smile on her face.

This kid seems to be quite something. I just casually mentioned it, and he actually managed to take down the elder of the Hehuan Sword Sect.

Wait a minute!! No, something's not right!

Her gaze lingered on Zhou Suxin for a moment, then she suddenly realized something, and a look of shock flashed in her eyes.

The Great Power Realm!

The aura emanating from Elder Zhou of the Hehuan Sword Sect was actually that of a Great Power!

What exactly happened?

Previously, after the sword exchange meeting, I clearly received information that Elder Zhou in front of me was only at the ninth level of the Dragon Transformation Realm.

In just a few months, if the other party had broken through to the half-step Great Power Realm, I could accept it. But the Great Power Realm? The other party actually skipped the half-step Great Power Realm and directly stepped into the Great Power Realm!

What's wrong with this world?

Leng Wushuang felt her mind suddenly become somewhat confused.

Just then, Xia Jin looked at Leng Wushuang, whose expression was constantly changing, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

"Sect Leader Leng, it's been a long time."

"What, you seem to not recognize me?"
