Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

After all, since Lin Quan and his group had been staying there, they had been used to seeing bursts of spiritual light and slight tremors in the earth every now and then.

But this time was different—Li Hanyi's aura suddenly surged, like a dragon emerging from the abyss, soaring from the initial stage of the Great Freedom Realm all the way to the peak of the Half-Step Divine Travel Realm!

That vast and powerful pressure, almost tearing through the void, instantly crashed into the three people's consciousness!

The three of them stepped onto the summit, but before they could even speak, they were frozen in place by the chilling, sharp, and heavy aura of a half-step Divine Realm cultivator.

"Is it... really a near-divine journey?"

"It's only been a few days! I just entered the Great Freedom Realm, and now I'm already at the pinnacle of the Half-Step Divine Travel Realm!"

"Still at the peak! Only a thin veil separates me from the realm of divine ascension!"

The three looked at each other, their faces first frozen in astonishment, then their eyes gleamed with a bright light, and they couldn't help but sigh in unison.

Before the words were even finished, Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng's gazes had already quietly drifted toward Lin Quan.

Others might be confused, but the two of them knew perfectly well—

Li Hanyi's astonishing transformation can be attributed entirely to Lin Quan!

Putting aside everything else, the ancient spiritual herbs he casually took out were rare and precious treasures that were hard to come by for those below the Divine Realm. They could temper the body and refine the soul, cleanse the marrow and change the tendons, and their effects were simply heaven-defying!

The moment the three figures landed, Li Hanyi's aura completely settled, like an ancient bell settling, without a trace of turbulence.

She slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was a group of smiling people surrounding her, all coming forward to greet her—

"Congratulations, Sister Hanyi, on reaching the Half-Step Divine Travel realm!"

Congratulations, Sister Hanyi, on taking another step forward!

Congratulations, junior sister (senior sister)!

The congratulatory greetings were warm and sincere.

You should know that this is the peak of the half-step Divine Realm!

Looking across Snowmoon City, only Baili Dongjun had ever set foot in this realm before.

His combat prowess was so great that he could withstand even a true master of the Divine Realm without being forced to retreat!

With the addition of Li Hanyi, Snow Moon City's influence in the martial arts world is likely to rise even higher.

Looking at Sikong Changfeng again, this Third City Lord was originally a Great Free and Unfettered expert;

Having received the Hundred Treasures Pill from Lin Quan, one could very likely step into the realm of half-step Divine Travel within a few months to a year or two!

Faced with a room full of congratulations, Li Hanyi was slightly taken aback, then smiled and responded humbly.

Looking inward at herself in the dark, she felt her mind clear and her true energy surging like a river bursting its banks—that earth-shattering power made her fingertips tremble slightly, and her heart remained unsettled for a long time!

It has been less than half a year since she signed the contract with Lin Quan.

In less than a year, his cultivation level jumped two levels, reaching the peak of the half-step Divine Travel stage!

"Han Yi's advancement to the peak of the Half-Step Divine Realm is truly a momentous event for Snow Moon City!"

"Let's drink until we drop and celebrate!"

Upon hearing Lin Quan's words, everyone present exchanged glances, their eyes gleaming with barely suppressed excitement.

In the blink of an eye, everyone nodded in unison, their voices filled with enthusiasm: "Yes! We should celebrate!"

"This is incredibly joyous news—within Snowmoon City, besides the eldest brother, only the senior sister has yet stepped into the threshold of the Half-Step Divine Ascension realm!"

"Such a breakthrough is no ordinary feat! We must hold a feast, light lanterns, and play music!"

"Let's go, let's go down the mountain!"

Swoosh—swoosh—swoosh—

Before the words were even finished, the figure had already soared into the air, clothes fluttering, toes barely touching the eaves and treetops, like a wild goose skimming across the sky, rushing straight down the mountain...

Back at the manor at the foot of the mountain, Lin Quan looked around and his gaze settled steadily on Baili Dongjun.

"Has Senior Brother managed to get the right flavor from those brewing ingredients?"

Baili Dongjun smiled frankly and shook his head slightly: "We've been testing the heat and proportions; the wine hasn't taken shape yet."

"We'll have to wait a while longer to see the true results."

"However—there are still a few jars of old wine stored in the cellar, aged enough to be incredibly fragrant."

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone immediately sprang into action:

Lin Quan waved his hand, and the kitchen counter was piled high with cleanly trimmed sea spirit beast meat, its texture gleaming with a jade-like luster.

Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng turned around and headed to the wine cellar to fetch wine, and on the way, they invited the old chef who had been in charge of cooking in Xueyue City for decades into the house.

At this moment, Li Hanyi's fingertips paused slightly. After a moment's hesitation, she spoke softly, "Husband...should we call Sister Zhuqing and the others to come along?"

Lin Quan hesitated for a moment, his gaze sweeping over everyone present—his own family and fellow citizens of Snowmoon City. After a brief pause, he gently shook his head:

"Not for now."

"Once Jingjing and Yuyan have truly grasped the basics of the 'Eternal Youth Sutra' and established a solid foundation..."

"Let's return to the main world together, and have a lively, joyous reunion to make up for this missed grand gathering!"

Li Hanyi and the other two exchanged smiles, their brows relaxed, and silently agreed.

Before long, several tables of steaming hot seafood feasts were served – the aroma of soy sauce and fat was irresistible, and the oil glistened in the lamplight, making one's mouth water.

"Come! Our gathering today is the will of Heaven!"

"First, a salute to my junior sister—a half-step into divine travel, her sword pointing to the heavens!"

Several hours passed, the laughter and chatter softened, cheeks flushed, and eyes became hazy.

Jars of aged wine, privately stored by Baili Dongjun for many years, were emptied, the cups and plates grew cold, and the noise gradually subsided.

Watching Baili Dongjun and the others stagger away, their silhouettes swaying in the night, the manor suddenly became so quiet that one could hear the rustling of the wind through the bamboo leaves.

Lin Quan turned his gaze to Li Hanyi and the other two.

Swah——

In the blink of an eye, his figure blurred, his true energy swept past like a tornado, and before the afterimage had dissipated, he had vanished without a trace.

At the very moment he disappeared, Li Hanyi, Qiao Jingjing, and Wang Yuyan also vanished, leaving only the empty pavilion and the moonlight like a ribbon.

The night passed quietly, without a sound.

The three women, who usually got up to wash and dress before dawn, only lazily lifted their quilts after the sun had climbed over the top of Cangshan Mountain. Their cheeks were flushed, their eyes were moist, and they slowly got up to change and wash, with a hint of weariness and a hint of sweetness in their eyes.

Li Hanyi remained in the courtyard, while the other two did not linger. After nodding to Lin Quan, they joined hands and ascended to the summit of Cangshan Mountain. They sat cross-legged in the Qingshi Pavilion, took out the Hundred Treasures Pill, and entered a meditative state, once again knocking on the gate of the Great Dao.

Lin Quan glanced at the two figures meditating in the pavilion, then turned to look at Li Hanyi, before speaking in a low, resolute voice:

"Hanyi, with your current level, are you absolutely certain you can step into the Divine Travel Realm?"

Li Hanyi met his gaze and shook her head without hesitation:

"Half-step to the peak of the Divine Realm? It sounds close, but in reality, it's an insurmountable chasm."

"The door to the mystical realm cannot be opened simply by accumulating internal energy."

"What it seeks is enlightenment—enlightenment into how the wind breathes, how the clouds gather and disperse, and how heaven and earth breathe in and out."

That's right. Even with abundant spiritual energy, one cannot cross that threshold through arduous cultivation alone.

To wander in a mystical realm is a moment when the heart resonates with heaven and earth—if you have an epiphany, you can see it with a glance; if you are obsessed with it, it will be difficult to transcend for thousands of years.

If one cannot grasp it, one may remain stuck at the threshold of half-step into the realm of spiritual enlightenment for the rest of one's life, finding it difficult to make any further progress.

There is a living example right now – Baili Dongjun, the Great Lord of Snow Moon City.
