More than ten days later.
Xuanjue Peak Grand Hall.
Wang Siming, the Peak Lord of Xuanjue Peak, had just finished cultivating and was dealing with some affairs within the peak. Suddenly, he remembered something and said, "Someone!"
A deacon hurried in.
"Peak Lord?"
"Where are this year's Core Disciple seeds? Why haven't I seen the records?" Wang Siming asked.
"Uh, he seems to still be in the trial Secret Realm!" The deacon scratched his head.
"Still in the trial?" Wang Siming said in surprise.
"That's right. I ask Valley Master Lan every day. He goes to the Secret Realm entrance every day to check and confirm that there are Disciples still inside."
"What's the situation?" Wang Siming was a little confused.
"Not clear..." The deacon shook his head.
"Alright, when he comes out, bring him to me!" Wang Siming said.
"Understood, I will follow up!"
"Okay."
A few more days passed.
"Where is that kid?"
"Still hasn't come out..."
Another ten-plus days passed.
Wang Siming finished cultivating and dealing with affairs, then rubbed his chin in confusion. "Huh, I seem to have forgotten something?"
He called the deacon in.
"Are there any matters not dealt with?"
"No." The deacon said.
"Okay."
A month later.
Wang Siming occasionally still thought of Su Yuan, but in the blink of an eye, he forgot him due to being busy.
Finally, he no longer thought of Su Yuan.
And the deacon transferred to another position six months later and was replaced by another deacon. The handover of this matter was also accidentally forgotten.
Thus, Su Yuan's name completely disappeared from the impression of the higher-ups of Xuanjue Peak.
Even the Disciples of the same generation were rapidly forgetting Su Yuan's existence.
Just like this, inexplicably, Su Yuan seemed to have become invisible within the Sect and disappeared without a trace.
Only Zhang Wei often thought of Su Yuan and always went to Xuanjue Peak to inquire. He originally wanted to join Xuanjue Peak, but later found out that the requirements for joining Xuanjue Peak were extremely high, and those with Low Grade Spiritual Root were not qualified to join.
Unfortunately, Zhang Wei returned empty-handed every time.
And Zhou Wuyou was even more miserable. He originally wanted to take off relying on Su Yuan, but unexpectedly Su Yuan suddenly disappeared. He very spectacularly entered the Ranks of miscellaneous Disciples, and his Family's investment in him rapidly plummeted, almost unable to even repay the benefits promised to the 24 Disciples before.
But fortunately, Zhang Wei still remembered Su Yuan's kindness and helped Zhou Wuyou repay that money. The relationship between the two, back and forth, actually improved a bit, although Zhou Wuyou still couldn't stand Zhang Wei.
Among the same generation, Ye Bufan and Liu Muwan completely bloomed with the peerless talent of Perfect Spiritual Root. Under the supply of massive resources, their Realms advanced by leaps and bounds!
In one year, they reached the Late Stage of Refining Qi and began to show their prominence.
The two went down the mountain one by one to gain experience and made quite a name for themselves. Ye Bufan had continuous opportunities and even had an unclear relationship with a demoness from the demon Sect.
Not long after Zheng He entered Qijue Peak, he disappeared without a trace, just like Su Yuan, as if he had become an invisible person, and few people mentioned him again.
Everyone's development was different. The Immortal Realm would still turn without anyone.
"Yawn!"
"Little Li, what are we eating today?"
Su Yuan yawned and asked sleepily.
"Big lazy bum! All you know is eating all day, eating and sleeping, and when you wake up you just stare blankly at the waterfall. You don't Cultivate, you don't practice Spells, how lazy are you exactly!"
The silver fox flew angrily to the top of Su Yuan's head, extended its small claws, and "fiercely" scratched Su Yuan's head a few times.
"Mm, use a little more force, my head is a bit itchy." Su Yuan said.
The silver fox was speechless by Su Yuan's laziness.
It said, "You don't have much time left!"
Su Yuan rolled his eyes. "You shouldn't say things like that!"
"Almost a year has passed! What do you think!" The silver fox said with a pout.
Upon hearing this, Su Yuan looked at the silver fox and smiled. "Are you reluctant to part with me?"
The silver fox turned its back and snorted coldly. "Who's reluctant to part with you? I can't wait for you to leave quickly!"
"Alright, I originally wanted to come and see you every year, but unfortunately, Little Li is unwilling!"
"Are you dreaming? You still want to come to the trial Secret Realm!" The silver fox turned around and gave him a glare.
"You think I can't do it?" Su Yuan raised an eyebrow.
"Of course!" Little Li lightly snorted.
"How about we make a bet?"
"Bet what?" The silver fox asked warily.
"Bet that I can do it. When I succeed, you give me that treasure you're hiding! How about it?"
Su Yuan revealed his true intentions.
"What if you lose?" Little Li asked.
"Don't worry, I won't lose!"
Su Yuan laughed heartily, flipped over and stood up. Profound Truth Energy automatically appeared under his feet, carrying Su Yuan as if he were soaring through clouds and mist, quickly flying close to the ground towards the direction of the Silver Spirit Waterfall.
"What are you going to do?" Little Li followed him, flying over.
Su Yuan came to the lakeside and sat down cross-legged. He said to Little Li, "Next, I'm going to enter a deep level of comprehension. You help me protect the area!"
"Just you?" Little Li still wanted to retort.
But suddenly, it noticed that Su Yuan's Aura had undergone a huge change. It was as if Su Yuan and the Silver Spirit Waterfall had suddenly resonated, and his Aura completely merged into the Silver Spirit Waterfall.
"This, this, this, what is this?" Little Li's eyes widened.
But it couldn't help but hold its breath.
Su Yuan opened his System panel.
[Name]:Su Yuan
[Region]:Qingke Continent
[Level]:Slightly Famous (133/1000)
[Realm]:Refining Qi Stage Three (33/100)
[Trait 1]:Work-Rest Balance: You are very good at Work-Rest Balance. The longer the rest time, the better the cultivation effect. Current rest time: 330 days, 5 hours
[Trait 2]:Law of Nature: You are very good at sensing nature. It is easier to sense the Great Dao from the mysteries of Heaven and Earth.
His fame value occasionally increased a little during the time he was in the Secret Realm, but after increasing by 30 points, it completely stopped increasing. His cultivation was still Refining Qi third layer, but the Profound Truth Energy within his body had accumulated a massive amount.
The most exaggerated thing was the Work-Rest Balance time, which had been extended to 330 days!
What an exaggerated amount of time was this?
And Su Yuan had waited for so long for the sake of sensing the Silver Spirit Waterfall!
"Activate Trait [Work-Rest Balance]!"
In an instant, the trait was activated!
His thoughts accelerated many times over!
But before Su Yuan could even begin to sense nature.
The trait lit up again and underwent a secondary activation!
Su Yuan's state improved again!
"This is..." Su Yuan understood in an instant that Trait 1 had hidden effects!
With 330 days of rest time, the trait could sustain a divine state for 33 days after activation, but this time was too long. If it exceeded 10 days, it would enter a secondary activation state, reducing the time by another tenfold, leaving only 3.3 days of trait duration!
After the time was shortened, the natural cultivation effect was even more astonishing!
In just a short breath of time, after understanding the reason, Su Yuan focused all his mind on sensing the Silver Spirit Waterfall.
In an instant, the insights from watching the Silver Spirit Waterfall for a year surged out from his memory like a tide.
And in Su Yuan's current perception, every trajectory of the falling Silver Spirit Waterfall seemed to contain Heavenly Principles, captivating Su Yuan.
His spiritual consciousness, as if following the silver light glazed water, flowed upstream along the waterfall, his whole being falling into the clouds, like an exiled immortal from the heavens.
Wondrous scenes and memories "collided" inside and outside Su Yuan's Sea of Consciousness, and countless insights erupted like a volcano at this moment!
Strands of understanding surged into his heart.
He seemed to see passionate flames, warm spring breezes, and sharp golden rain from the Silver Spirit Waterfall.
Little Li was shocked to see three miraculous rhythms rising from Su Yuan's body, resonating with the wondrous spectacle of the Silver Spirit Waterfall on a deeper level!
One person and one waterfall seemed to be conversing with each other. The Silver Spirit Waterfall was also like a silent teacher, personally "narrating" the mysteries and secrets of Heaven and Earth to Su Yuan!
The three miraculous rhythms on Su Yuan's body turned into a towering Aura, causing Little Li to involuntarily retreat dozens of meters!
"Potential Realm! He directly skipped the Technique Realm!"
Little Li was dumbfounded!
It only knew that the Heavenly Principles had four Realms, divided into "Technique, Potential, Intent, and Spirit"!
Upon reaching the fourth Realm, Spirit Intent Realm, one could sense the path of divine abilities.
And although the "Technique" Realm was only the first Realm, it required extremely high comprehension to grasp. Most Cultivators could only grasp it upon reaching Foundation Establishment!
And the "Potential" Realm was even more remarkable. At this point, one's understanding of Heaven and Earth was considered to have achieved something. One could mobilize the potential of Heaven and Earth, causing one's strength in all aspects to skyrocket. Simply using "Potential" to suppress others was enough to give Foundation Establishment Cultivators a complete advantage in battles at the same level!
The test of the ninth level was only to be able to sense a trace of the "Technique" Realm and that was it! Was Su Yuan planning to defy the heavens?
Su Yuan, at merely the third layer of Refining Qi, had actually grasped the "Potential" Realm, and grasped three types at once, and it didn't look like he had just entered the Potential Realm!
No, his "Potential" was still rising!
Little Li's head was buzzing!
After entering the "Potential" Realm, Su Yuan's communication with the Silver Spirit Waterfall became easier. He was like returning to his mother's embrace, naturally nurtured and nourished by Heaven and Earth!
Insights surged and sublimated frantically. Su Yuan's understanding of the Law of Nature became increasingly profound!
In his eyes, the Silver Spirit Waterfall sometimes transformed into gently flowing flames, sometimes into a vibrant spring, and sometimes into countless sharp golden sword rain. Observing the Silver Spirit Waterfall from different angles yielded different wondrous experiences.
The Aura on Su Yuan's body gradually ascended to an incredible level, with an irresistible sharpness, and then gradually calmed down, becoming quiet and peaceful. This wasn't because his "Potential" had weakened, but because Su Yuan could now control it freely!
At this moment, Su Yuan seemed to be able to see the "Intent" of Heaven and Earth after the "Potential" of Heaven and Earth!
But he also deduced that the remaining time was only enough for him to comprehend one kind of "Intent" of Heaven and Earth.
He thought for a moment and chose the sharp sword rain!
Attack was indeed the best defense!
The Silver Spirit Waterfall no longer changed in his eyes. Instead, it became a river-waterfall flowing with countless golden threads. Each golden thread was like the sharpest sword in the world, piercing through Su Yuan's body.
Su Yuan's body was instantly covered in wounds. Countless wounds burst open with blood, and Su Yuan turned into a blood person in the blink of an eye!
Little Li's expression changed, and it anxiously wanted to rush up to heal Su Yuan!
But the terrifying "Potential" beside Su Yuan, the moment it approached, erupted with astonishing aggressiveness. Little Li was directly bounced away by a golden line, and a clear wound appeared on its body.
Su Yuan seemed to sense something. With a wave of his hand, he drew out the silver light glazed water from the lake. Countless streams of water surged onto Su Yuan's body, repairing Su Yuan's injuries. Su Yuan's skin became incredibly silver and bright, and a small stream of water also surged towards Little Li, wrapping around its wound as well.
Little Li stared blankly at Su Yuan, who was enveloped in silver light glazed water, momentarily entranced!
