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

Xia Jin and Jiang Ling walked side by side. They had only gone about ten feet when a young disciple dressed in a moon-white Taoist robe came towards them.

The man had a token engraved with star patterns hanging from his waist, clearly indicating that he was a disciple of one of the three holy lands.

"You two must be from the Hehuan Sword Sect!"

"Please follow me to the main hall to wait!" The young disciple glanced at Xia Jin and Jiang Ling's attire, then bowed slightly, gestured for them to proceed, and led them to the main hall in the center of the island.

The main hall on the island is simply furnished, without too many elaborate decorations, but upon closer inspection, one can discover that every detail reveals the profound heritage of the sacred site.

Even from the flickering candlelight, Xia Jin could smell the delicate fragrance of ancient ebony.

The spacious hall was divided into areas according to the directions of the nine continents of the Mirage Realm.

The leaders of various forces, led by disciples from the three holy lands, took their seats.

Xia Jin glanced around casually and quickly located the Hehuan Sword Sect.

He sat down with Jiang Ling and began to look around at the people around them.

Previously, the number of people seen outside was less than ten percent of the number inside the hall, and the only one in the entire hall who could so openly observe everyone was probably Xia Jin.

"That's enough looking! Although these people in these three holy lands won't hold it against you, there's no guarantee that some with dark intentions won't scheme against you after they leave!"

Jiang Ling, who was sitting to the side, could only offer a helpless reminder after seeing Xia Jin's unbridled behavior.

However, Xia Jin didn't take it to heart at all.

At that moment, he happened to see Leng Wushuang in a white dress sitting in the opposite seat and nodded directly to her.

As the sect leader of the Glazed Sword Sect, Leng Wushuang was initially resting with her eyes closed, but she seemed to sense a gaze fixed on her and couldn't help but open her eyes.

"Huh? Xia kid, he's here too!?"

"It seems that what he told me back then was indeed the truth. The true mastermind behind the Joyful Union Sword Sect is himself."

She nodded slightly to Xia Jin as a greeting.

After Xia Jin's gaze left Leng Wushuang, it continued to move around the hall, and soon caught sight of several familiar faces.

Chi Liantian of the Sacred Flame Sect, and Canglan Shangren of the Cloud Academy.

The two seemed to sense Xia Jin's presence. Canglan Shangren nodded to Xia Jin, while Chi Liantian was clearly more excited. He actually stood up and respectfully cupped his hands towards Xia Jin.

This action immediately attracted the attention of the leaders of the various forces surrounding Chi Liantian.

"I say, Sect Master Chi, with your strength, why are you so respectful to that kid? Could it be that he has powerful connections..." A slightly overweight figure in the seat next to Chi Liantian asked in a low voice, looking somewhat puzzled.

As a top power in the same Qiankun Prefecture, he naturally knew Chi Liantian all too well. Unless someone was much stronger or had a much stronger background, it would be impossible to make this person grovel.

Chi Liantian simply gave him a smug smile.

"Fatty, since we're neighbors, let me give you a heads-up. That guy looks young, but in terms of strength, apart from those three, there are probably no more than five people in the entire Mirage Realm who can surpass him!" Chi Liantian glanced at Xia Jin, then secretly pointed to the location of the three chairs in front of him.

"How is this possible!?" The slightly overweight figure stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

"Believe it or not, I've already warned you! If you still can't seize the opportunity, don't blame me later!!"

.......

While the two were still talking, Xia Jin's gaze had already turned to the front of the main hall.

There were three chairs there.

The three seats remain empty, with no one sitting in them yet, but everyone knows that these three positions belong to the three Saint Realm beings.

Just then, Jiang Ling's sigh reached Xia Jin's ears: "If the three holy lands hadn't joined forces to issue this invitation, I probably would never have had the chance to see a holy realm being in person in my entire life. Now, it's great that I can see three of them at once..."

She paused, a hint of longing resurfacing in her eyes.

"If any of these Saint Realm beings were willing to give me some pointers, I might have a chance to reach the ninth level of the Great Power Realm in the future."

After hearing Jiang Ling's quiet sigh, Xia Jin couldn't help but show a strange expression on her face.

He couldn't help but tease, "Sect Leader Jiang, why go to such lengths? Why don't you let me give you some pointers when we get back? With my abilities, I'm sure I can handle that!"

Jiang Rou was slightly taken aback by his words, and turned to look at Xia Jin with a complicated expression in her eyes.

She finally sighed and gently shook her head.

"Forget it."

"Your strength is indeed formidable; even among the powerful experts of the entire Mirage Cloud Realm, you are among the top, a fact I never deny. However, it will be far too difficult for you to help me break through to the next realm."

"After all, the cultivation technique I practice doesn't allow for breakthroughs that can be achieved with just a few pointers. Perhaps there's a chance if you one day reach the legendary Saint Realm."

In the end, her tone revealed a hint of helplessness and a touch of melancholy.

The Hehuan Sword Intent cultivated by the Hehuan Sword Sect is truly extraordinary.

This technique allows for extremely rapid advancement in the early stages, far exceeding that of ordinary cultivators. However, once it reaches the later stages, breakthroughs become increasingly slow and fraught with obstacles.

Once you reach the Great Power Realm, you need to achieve further breakthroughs through the fusion of Yin and Yang.

Only by relying on the abundant yang energy contained in one's own Daoist partner or rare and precious materials can one break through that bottleneck and have a chance of success.

But such rare and precious materials containing powerful yang energy are not so easy to find.

As for a Daoist partner, how could Jiang Ling, as the sect leader of the Hehuan Sword Sect, possibly compete with her junior sister for a Daoist partner?

Just thinking about it made her feel that such a thought was somewhat absurd.

Just then, a ripple suddenly came from the void directly in front of the main hall.

Three vast, ocean-like auras rushed towards everyone in the hall.

The oppressive force was so strong, it was as if three towering peaks were pressing down at the same time, and the hall fell into complete silence.

At this moment, everyone's expression turned solemn, and they subconsciously sat up straight, their eyes all turning towards the high platform in front of the main hall.

"Are they here?" Xia Jin snapped out of her daze, her gaze sharpening as she looked toward the three chairs.

After the void was torn apart, three figures stepped out from it.

The three stood side by side. Although they did not deliberately release their pressure, the natural aura of sainthood they exuded made the entire hall feel as if it had fallen into the deep sea, and everyone fell silent.

Xia Jin's pupils constricted sharply the moment she saw the faces of the three Saint Realm beings.

How is that possible?!

His face was completely filled with shock.

Those three faces... those three figures... why were they so similar to the three supreme Taoist deities, the Three Pure Ones, from his past life's myths and legends?!

Is this just a coincidence? Or what?
