Ten years after Li Qing returned to his sect and went into seclusion, the cultivation world remained tranquil, with no significant events occurring.

After Shi Zuming fled to the Azure Ridge Domain, he vanished completely, and no further news of him ever surfaced.

Meanwhile, at the Lingyun Sect, Li Qing’s registered disciple, Li Yuhuan, successfully achieved core formation.

On the day of her core formation, thunder rolled across the sky, as if a heavenly tribulation were about to descend.

Even Li Qing was startled by this phenomenon, initially believing that his disciple and niece by blood might possess such extraordinary talent that she could summon a thunder tribulation at the core formation realm.

However, he soon confirmed that this was not the case—it was merely the unique phenomenon associated with a thunder spirit root during core formation.

While this did not rival the thunder tribulations summoned by true Heavenly Prodigies, it indirectly proved that Li Yuhuan’s Golden Core was flawless and perfect!

The following year, Li Yuhuan and Jiang Han were married, formally becoming dao companions.

The two had been rivals since joining the Lingyun Sect, constantly competing with each other, which paradoxically sparked romantic feelings.

The Lingyun Sect celebrated this union with great fanfare, sending out invitations far and wide. On the wedding day, the sect’s threshold was nearly trampled under the weight of guests.

To bolster the sect’s prestige, Li Qing made a brief appearance, bestowing a top-grade Thunder Spirit Crystal upon his registered disciple, Li Yuhuan, for the refinement of her natal magic treasure.

With the addition of a new core formation stage supreme elder, the Lingyun Sect’s foundation grew even more formidable, exuding an aura of peak prosperity.

Even the impact of Shi Zuming’s disappearance two years prior had faded. With no news of him for three to four years, cultivators across the land were gradually forgetting him.

In the fifteenth year of Li Qing’s seclusion, the layer of the divine transformation stage bottleneck he had been refining visibly thinned.

”All these twenty-odd years of relentless, painstaking effort weren’t in vain,” he mused. ”Still, this bottleneck remains stubbornly thick. It will take considerable time before I can tear through it.”

After a brief calculation, he estimated that if he continued to grind away at the bottleneck day after day, it would take at least another three hundred years before it weakened enough for him to attempt a preliminary assault on the divine transformation stage.

To ensure a higher chance of success, he would need to extend this period further—perhaps even five hundred years!

This wasn’t an unbearable prospect. For Li Qing, with his lifespan of ten thousand years, five hundred years would pass in the blink of an eye.

With a lifespan of over ten thousand years, Li Qing could continue refining artifacts to extend his lifespan indefinitely. Another few millennia would mean nothing to him.

After achieving some progress during his seclusion, Li Qing continued to focus his efforts, using his mana to break through the bottleneck.

He would only stop when his mana was depleted, after which he would refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to restore his mana. Only when his mana was fully restored would he repeat the cycle.

Through these cycles, another five years passed in the blink of an eye.

This marked the twentieth year since True Monarch Chen Yuan and the others ascended. The spiritual energy environment of heaven and earth had finally begun to slowly recover.

The impact of the demon realm’s invasion had not been as profound as initially feared; the world of heaven and earth had ultimately healed itself.

For any cultivator, the flourishing of the Dao environment was the greatest blessing imaginable.

However, because these changes were so subtle, ordinary cultivators could not perceive them. Only those with the ability to sense the Primordial Energy of Heaven and Earth could detect them.

”The Great Dao is about to flourish,” Li Qing murmured from within his seclusion.

He did not conceal his voice, and the sigh echoed through the Lingyun Sect, spreading far and wide.

Many disciples understood the implication of Ancestor Limitless’s words: the cultivation environment of heaven and earth was improving, and the Great Dao seemed within reach!

For a time, a fervent spirit of diligent cultivation swept through the land.

In the twenty-seventh year of Li Qing’s seclusion, a major event occurred in the cultivation world.

In Treasure Origin Prefecture of the Great Wilderness Domain, an ethereal immortal mansion suddenly appeared!

This mansion was hidden within an Earth Vein and could autonomously move. When it shifted, even core formation realm cultivators couldn’t keep up!

News of this instantly spread throughout the cultivation communities of the Eight Regions of the Human Realm, causing a tremendous stir. Countless cultivators flocked to the Great Wilderness Domain, and even rogue cultivators from overseas converged there.

”It’s an Immortal Mansion Ruins! Its architectural style is so ancient that it’s impossible to determine its era. But one thing is certain: its origins may trace back to before the ancient era!”

”True Lord Tianyang has found the ruins and plunged right in!”

”Unbelievable! A rogue cultivator caught a glimpse inside—the treasure light is blazing, and the spiritual energy is overwhelming!”

”An immortal mansion from before the ancient era? That’s over a hundred thousand years of history! If there are spirit herbs planted inside...”

The Immortal Mansion Ruins spanned over a hundred thousand years. If any spirit herbs still survived within, they would be peerless immortal herbs with a hundred thousand years of medicinal age!

Once the news was confirmed, a group of old men nearing the end of their lifespan and facing their great limit went mad, frantically searching for the whereabouts of the mysterious Immortal Mansion Ruins.

To this end, all the renowned feng shui masters of the Great Wilderness Domain were summoned from their seclusion.

These masters were experts in geomancy, terrain surveying, and dragon vein tracing. With sufficient cultivation, they could even use feng shui and geomancy to lock down the Earth Veins!

If they succeeded, they might be able to stabilize the constantly moving Immortal Mansion Ruins!

The fervor stirred by the Immortal Mansion Ruins continued to ferment. As more feng shui masters were summoned, an increasing number of cultivators joined the commotion.

Finally, even Gui Li, the sect master of the Ghost Sword Sect, could no longer sit still.

Gui Li was sighted in a wilderness area of the Great Wilderness Domain, his distinctive massive ghost sword slung across his back, making him unmistakable.

It was certain that Gui Li had also begun searching for the Immortal Mansion Ruins.
