At the same time, Ye Xuan was sitting cross-legged in the stone house. His face was expressionless, and no one could tell what he was thinking. However, the killing intent surrounding him was gradually fading away.
Although Ye Xuan had yet to recover from his serious injuries, he had now recovered to the level of a Celestial Immortal. His pair of Dharma Eyes naturally saw this scene.
"This young man is quite interesting!" Ye Xuan smiled. His body gradually turned illusory and disappeared from the stone house.
A full two hours passed.
When young Li Jiangliu returned to his residence, he was slightly stunned when he found that there was no one in the stone house. Then, he shook his head and smiled bitterly. It seemed that Perfected Cultivator Ye knew that the Celestial Court was looking for him and had left without saying goodbye.
Although young Li Jiangliu was a little disappointed, knowing that he had lost a great opportunity, he was simple-minded and did not regret it too much. After all, he also knew that Ye Xuan, a Great Immortal of the Celestial Court, would not care about a mortal like him.
Behind the Handyman Peak.
Ye Xuan opened up a cave residence and then blocked it with a huge rock. He did not want anyone to disturb him this time. He would only come out of the cave residence after he recovered from his injuries.
From this, it could be seen that Ye Xuan was treading on thin ice when it came to cultivation. He would never put himself in danger.
…
The sun rose and the moon set. The stars moved.
Time was a merciless butcher's knife. For mortals, it was a sharp weapon that hastened their deaths. For immortal cultivators, it was also the motivation to move forward.
Ten years was not a long time, but it was not short either. However, in the vast Earth Immortal World, ten years was just a blink of an eye.
On this day, the sky was high and the clouds were light. A ray of sun rose from the east, illuminating the world. The cave residence where Ye Xuan was in seclusion was covered with weeds. No one would have thought that such an earth-shattering figure was hidden in the cave residence.
All of a sudden!
Bang!
With a loud bang, the boulder blocking the entrance of the cave exploded. A beam of Taiyi Immortal Light rippled out from the cave, and a slender figure slowly walked out.
Ye Xuan was dressed in a black Taoist robe, with Taiyi Celestial Light surrounding his body. His black hair fell behind his head, and when he opened and closed his eyes, Taiyi Celestial Light flowed in his eyes. Wherever his gaze passed, the void would be slightly distorted.
Ye Xuan stretched out his arms and breathed in the morning glow. The Taiyi Celestial Light around him slowly dissipated. He no longer had any power, as if he had turned into an ordinary person.
"I didn't expect that this seclusion would take ten years!" Ye Xuan sighed.
Ten years ago, Ye Xuan had sealed himself in the cave residence. According to his estimation, with the help of a large number of elixirs, he would only need two years to recover his cultivation and return to his peak state.
In fact, after two years of seclusion, he had indeed recovered from his injuries. However, Ye Xuan did not expect that just as he recovered his cultivation, his Taiyi Xuan Immortal cultivation would increase rapidly until he broke through to the Middle-stage of Taiyi Xuan Immortal. This made Ye Xuan very excited.
Ye Xuan instantly understood that the reason why he could break through to the Middle-stage of Taiyi Xuan Immortal must have something to do with the battle with Yang Jian. In that life-and-death battle, his state of mind and cultivation had significantly improved.
After understanding this, Ye Xuan did not dare to neglect it. In the remaining years, he focused on improving his cultivation. It was not until he stepped into the Late-stage of Taiyi Xuan Immortal that the potential in his body was finally exhausted. Only then did he break out of seclusion.
However, this seclusion took him ten years. This made Ye Xuan sigh slightly. Time was really merciless.
From this seclusion, Ye Xuan also understood a principle. There were only three ways to quickly improve one's cultivation.
The first way was to gain enlightenment from a life-and-death battle.
The second way was to enter a state of enlightenment.
The third way was what Ye Xuan had always wanted to do. It was to consume a large number of Heavenly Holy Items and Immortal Elixirs.
Of course, Ye Xuan also had a fourth way. This way was to use the Calamity Transcender Technique that he cultivated. He could devour the Divine Powers of the Immortals' Dao Fruits and make them his own. This would also allow his cultivation to increase rapidly.
In ten years, Ye Xuan's cultivation had recovered and he had even stepped into the Late-stage of Taiyi Xuan Immortal. He was only one step away from stepping into the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm. However, Ye Xuan also understood that if he did not use the Heaven-Destroying Halberd, he would still have to tread on thin ice in the Earth Immortal Realm.
One had to know that the Earth Immortal Realm was vast and boundless. There were countless Tongtian Demons and Immortals. Although the Celestial Court was high and mighty, it was not worth mentioning when compared to the Earth Immortal Realm.
Ye Xuan sorted out his thoughts. He already had a clear direction. A cold murderous intent quietly flashed across his eyes.
"I wonder how that young man is now?" Ye Xuan murmured to himself. He merged into the void and walked slowly towards the Servant Peak.
Ye Xuan was a person who would repay kindness and revenge. Back then, Li Jiangliu had saved his life. Ye Xuan had always remembered this favor in his heart.
When he left back then, he did not leave any opportunities for this young man. It was only because he did not want to expose his whereabouts and attract the attention of others. However, now that his cultivation had recovered to its peak, this favor must be repaid.
…
Servant Peak!
The sound of gongs, drums, and firecrackers rang in the sky. Every stone house had a large 'Xi' character pasted on it. Thousands of servant disciples were toasting and cheering from time to time.
There were a total of ninety-nine peaks in the Haoxuan Mountain. The Servant Peak was only one of them. The other ninety-eight peaks were also holding banquets. This made the entire Jiuhua Immortal Sect extremely lively.
Ye Xuan walked slowly through the sky, and no one was able to notice his tracks. Up until he arrived before the stone house that Li Jiangliu resided in, he noticed that spiderwebs had already formed on the stone door. Obviously, no one had lived in this stone house for many years.
Ye Xuan frowned lightly. As his palm flicked through the sky, he directly restrained a servant disciple. Before this servant could let out a sharp cry, Ye Xuan shot a strand of immortal light into the space between this person's brows, and then he executed a soul searching technique to directly read this person's memories.
After an entire few tens of breaths of time, Ye Xuan slowly opened his eyes. He'd already understood the cause and effect of this matter, and he casually struck out with a strand of immortal light that directly transformed this servant disciple into ash. After that, he walked slowly through the sky towards Nine Radiance Peak.
From the memories of this servant disciple, Ye Xuan obtained some information about Li Jiangliu. After he left all those years ago, this young man had broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm two years later, and he'd even won the championship in the Outer Court Disciple Competition in one go and was directly taken into the inner court.
Ye Xuan wasn't surprised that the young man had broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm. Because when he was recuperating all those years ago, the Immortal Pills he consumed weren't able to be completely absorbed, and some impurities were expelled from his body. So, this naturally benefited this young man.
However, according to the memories of this servant disciple, after Li Jiangliu entered the inner court, he wasn't as glorious as he'd imagined, and he suffered an unimaginable calamity on the fifth year. Not only was his cultivation crippled, he'd even been reduced to the lowest Medicine Slave on Nine Radiance Peak.
Today was the day that Exalted Immortal Jiuhua's daughter was getting married, so the various peaks had held banquets and created such a joyous scene.
Ye Xuan didn't feel much sympathy towards the young man's encounter, nor did he feel pity in his heart. Because every single person walked their own path.
Ye Xuan only wanted to repay the young man's life saving grace and give the young man a fortuitous encounter before leaving the Jiuhua Immortal Sect. He didn't think about anything else besides this.
