After guarding the gates for a hundred years, I drove the Heavenly Saint to madness.

The ruler-shaped shadow, like a bolt of lightning that split the heavens and earth, carrying an unparalleled killing intent, struck the first Sea-Stabilizing Pearl with perfect precision.

Click!

A crisp sound, seemingly emanating from the depths of the soul.

The chaotic energy within the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, which was perfectly integrated, was instantly split in two by the ruler's strike.

Pure air rises and transforms into the heavens and the sky; turbid air descends and condenses into the thick earth.

A miniature world, brimming with endless vitality and gravity, suddenly took shape inside the bead.

"Enter the hole!"

Xiao Wuji pushed with both hands, violently slamming the divine pearl that had just opened up the world into a fatal acupoint on his left shoulder.

Boom!

The moment the divine pearl entered his body, Xiao Wuji felt as if an ancient divine mountain had been pressed down on his left shoulder. His bones made a cracking sound as if they could not bear the weight, and blood instantly stained his Daoist robe.

But at the same time, the continuous flow of boundary energy in that small world began to frantically nourish his physical body.

"Again!"

Xiao Wuji gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, and once again wielded the Primordial Measuring Ruler.

The second one, the third one, the fourth one...

He cleaved through chaos, evolved the heavens, and forcefully refined the fatal flaw!

This is a cruel cultivation that ordinary people cannot even imagine. It involves stuffing twenty-four real worlds into the body. If one is not careful, the physical body will collapse on the spot, and even the primordial spirit will be crushed into dust by the gravity of these twenty-four worlds.

However, Xiao Wuji had the Twelve-Petaled Pure White Lotus protecting his heart meridian and life force, and the Chaos Bell suppressing his physical body and time.

He stubbornly endured it.

……

This self-torturing retreat lasted for two whole months.

Outside, spring comes and autumn goes, but inside the sealed room, only the sound of the Heaven-Opening Ruler and the muffled thuds of bones being reassembled can be heard continuously.

Two months later.

"call……"

A long, deep breath echoed in the silent chamber.

The breath that was exhaled actually created a black hole in the void that caused a spatial collapse, visible to the naked eye.

Xiao Wuji slowly opened his eyes. He was still sitting there, and his magical power was already at the limit of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, only half a step away from the Quasi-Saint realm.

Next, once he has fully cultivated the twenty-four heavens within his body, he will be able to break through directly, and not just become a quasi-saint, but a Primordial Golden Immortal who proves the Dao through force.

However, even so, his physical strength was already extraordinary at this moment.

With just a casual movement of his shoulder, the surrounding space shattered like fragile glass. Beneath his skin, twenty-four nebula-like vortexes swirled and disappeared.

The Twenty-Four Heavenly Kings have completely merged with his flesh and blood!

"Is this the power of the small world's blessing?"

Xiao Wuji clenched his fists, feeling the vast and boundless power flowing through his limbs and bones.

He had absolute confidence that if he were to face Guang Chengzi again now, he could contend with him with just his physical body, which contained the weight of twenty-four minor worlds!

Combat capabilities have undergone an incredible qualitative change.

"It's time to emerge from seclusion."

Xiao Wuji withdrew the suffocating power emanating from his body and pushed open the stone door that had been sealed for two months.

……

As soon as Xiao Wuji stepped out of the backyard of the General's Mansion, he sensed a familiar aura.

"General, you've finally come out!"

Xu Gai excitedly greeted him, pointing towards the front hall: "That Immortal Master Lü Yue from Kowloon Island rushed here a few days ago and has been waiting for you for quite some time."

"Your martial uncle is back?"

Xiao Wuji's heart stirred slightly, and he quickly walked towards the front hall.

When Lü Yue saw that the situation was deadlocked, he took the initiative to go to the overseas immortal mountains to gather people and invite fellow disciples of the Jie Sect to help him. This trip took a long time.

As soon as I stepped into the hall, I saw Lü Yue pacing back and forth anxiously, his bright red Taoist robe looking somewhat travel-worn.

"Uncle-Master," Xiao Wuji said with a smile, cupping his hands in greeting.

Upon hearing the sound, Lü Yue turned his head sharply.

When his gaze fell on Xiao Wuji, his three eyes widened instantly, and his anxious expression turned into horror.

"hiss--"

Lu Yue gasped and instinctively took a half-step back, as if looking at a monster.

"Nephew, what...what have you been doing in that secret room for the past two months?"

As an expert in drug use, Lü Yue had an extremely keen sense of qi (vital energy).

Although Xiao Wuji had tried his best to restrain himself, the occasional wisp of heavy boundary power that overflowed still made Lü Yue feel a chill run down his spine, as if the person standing in front of him was not a person, but a deep starry sky.

"I've had a slight epiphany, and my cultivation has improved a little bit."

Xiao Wuji smiled calmly, without elaborating, and smoothly changed the subject.

"How is the situation regarding recruiting people after your journey overseas, Uncle-Master? Are there any fellow disciples willing to come out of seclusion to assist you?"

Upon hearing Xiao Wuji's question, the shock on Lü Yue's face gradually subsided, turning into a complex, bitter smile.

"Calling for help? Nephew, do you really think I've been searching for fellow disciples all these past few months?" Lü Yue sighed and revealed a completely different story.

"When I left Jiepai Pass, I actually went straight back to Jin'ao Island and begged my master to send a powerful figure to help you."

"But Master asserted that... you cannot hold it. Not only did he not send reinforcements, but he also forcibly kept me on the island and ordered me to practice the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation properly, saying that it was the true life-or-death situation for the Jie Sect."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wuji smiled noncommittally and remained silent.

It's normal that Lü Yue couldn't get anyone to come. He never thought Lü Yue could. After all, there was the precedent of Wudang. Wudang was a direct disciple and her status was much higher than Lü Yue's. She couldn't change Tongtian's will, let alone Lü Yue.

"In that case, what is the purpose of your visit, Uncle-Master?" Xiao Wuji asked, looking at Lü Yue with some surprise.

"I have come here on my master's orders to take you back."

Lü Yue's tone changed abruptly, and he stared intently at Xiao Wuji.

"Although Master asserted that you couldn't hold on, his sage-like divine sense has always been watching you from the shadows!"

"That Yuanshi Tianzun disregarded his pride and personally attacked you with murderous intent. My master specially drew his sword to stop him and immediately ordered me to descend to the mortal realm to bring you back to Jin'ao Island!"

Upon learning the truth, Xiao Wuji felt a warm current flow through his heart.

Although this grandmaster valued the overall situation, his domineering and protective nature was undeniable when it came to the life and death of his juniors.

"Nephew, listen to your uncle's advice and come back to Jin'ao Island with me!"

Lu Yue grabbed Xiao Wuji's arm, his tone extremely urgent: "The deadlock at Jiepai Pass is unbreakable."

"Those hypocrites from the Chan Sect have never been known for their martial ethics. Now that only Yuanshi Tianzun has arrived, Master can still handle him."

"You are the garrison commander of Jiepai Pass, and you should have witnessed the events surrounding the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. If this continues, it's hard to guarantee that the same outcome won't occur again."

"When the four saints surround us, Master alone will definitely not be able to hold them off, and you will surely die if you stay here!"

"Return to the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, preserve your lives, for that is our final battlefield!"
