Three days later, Su Xian'er successfully broke through to the Emperor realm and began consolidating her cultivation.
The system's reward arrived as well.
"Under your careful guidance, your maidservant ignored the restrictions within the Southern Regions and broke through to the Emperor realm quickly. She has become an Emperor realm genius under the age of a hundred and you have been rewarded with 100 years' worth of cultivation."
He received the reward.
As the 100 years' worth of cultivation was infused into his body, Chu Xuan's strength climbed.Finally, he broke through to the ninth level of the Supreme realm.
He was now one step closer to the Heaven realm.
However, the Heaven realm was a huge bottleneck, and his cultivation would need a big boost to bridge that chasm.
Even if he was rewarded with another 100 years' worth of cultivation, it would not be enough to break through to the Heaven realm.
Chu Xuan silently estimated that even the cultivation boost reward when Ding Yue and Wang Luo broke through to the Emperor realm would not be enough for him to break through to the Heaven realm.
In that case, it would be up to Chu Pingfan.
What realm would he reach once he succeeded in nurturing the saber.How many years' worth of cultivation would he get from Pingfan's achievement?
Whether or not he could break through to the Heaven realm quickly would depend on which realm Chu Pingfan reached once he succeeded in nurturing the saber.
Chu Xuan was filled with anticipation.
He reckoned that he should be able to break through to the Heaven realm before the ten-year period arrived.
Inside the pocket dimension, Chu Yun was cultivating and had already broken through to the third level of the truth realm.
When Chu Yun had broken through to the ninth level of the truth realm, Chu Xuan would allow her to leave the pocket dimension.
When her foundation had solidified and she was ready for the opportunity to break through to the Emperor realm, he would help her break through to the Emperor realm.
After Su Xian'er had consolidated her Emperor realm cultivation, she became very excited and worked a lot harder.
She cleaned the courtyard and redecorated it.
She resumed her previous routine.
Every day, she would brief Chu Xuan on the information sent over by the Black Moon Tower.
Most of it pertained to the various factions wanting to find out who Ding Yue's master was.
There was also information about the smaller ancient ruins that occasionally appeared in various parts of the Southern Region.
In general, the Southern Region was much more peaceful than before, and there were fewer battles.
In the past, the evil imperial court and the Great Qian Dynasty constantly clashed, but due to the rise of the Great Qin Dynasty, the conflict between the two sides had died down.
The heretic cultivators, who usually committed evil everywhere, were much more restrained.
This was especially so because the evil imperial court had introduced new laws, which resulted in a reduction in the occurrences of heretic cultivators fighting among themselves and bullying the weak.
Thanks to these new laws, there were even a few prodigies who rose up from the lower ranks.
Another month passed.
Chu Yun broke through to the ninth level of the truth realm, so Chu Xuan sent her out of the pocket dimension.
As soon as she left the pocket dimension, Chu Yun ran over and told Chu Xuan that she had entered a mysterious secret realm.
She had been cultivating inside that place for dozens of years, but only dozens of days had passed in reality.
Her cultivation had even risen to the ninth level of the truth realm.
She then spent some time playing with Chu Pingfan in the courtyard for a few days before leaving some pills for him.
During this time, she wondered why Chu Pingfan was still holding onto that wooden saber.
However, seeing that Chu Pingfan liked it, she did not interfere.
After breaking through to the ninth level of the truth realm, Chu Yun had officially become the number one expert in the Chu family. Her confidence increased, and she went out to train again.
This was especially so because she heard that there was an ancient ruin opening.
She wanted to look for a heavenly treasure like the black heart grass to increase Chu Pingfan's level of talent.
After leaving the Chu family's territory, Chu Yun turned around to look in the direction of the small courtyard and muttered inwardly, "Thirteenth Brother seems to be quite powerful."
Even though she was at the ninth level of the truth realm, she still could not grasp Chu Xuan's strength.
After Chu Yun left, her first stop was to head to the Black Moon Tower branch in the Chu County capital to gather information about the ancient ruin.
She also wanted to find out if the Black Moon Tower had any heavenly or earthly treasures for sale that could raise one's talent and aptitude.
As an alchemist, and an extremely powerful one at that, she naturally did not lack money; especially after she had swindled the little evil king's fortune.
The Great Qin Dynasty, Purple Moon County, within a certain city…
In a pavilion in a courtyard, the little evil king was dressed in a white robe. A jade pendant hung from his waist. He had the graceful bearing of a handsome young master.
He no longer possessed the aura of evil and cruelty he had in the past.
Wang Hang stood outside the pavilion and looked at the little evil king, who now looked like a righteous young master. His worldview was on the verge of breaking down.
The little evil king had even asked him to change into a set of decent clothes and behave appropriately so that he would not look like a heretic cultivator.
He did all of this just to pursue Chu Yun.
He did not even know what was wrong with the little evil king's brain or why he was so obsessed with that woman.
"It's over, the evil imperial court is done for."
Wang Hang was filled with despair for the future of the evil imperial court.
The old evil king's head was messed up and he was supporting the current Evil King to push out some new laws. The pair no longer looked or behaved like heretic cultivators at all.
Needless to say, the Evil King's head was messed up long ago.
The current evil imperial court was even more fair and just than the Great Qian Dynasty.
It did not look like an empire that belonged to heretic cultivators at all.
Originally, he had hoped that the little evil king would become the salvation of the evil imperial court in the future.
After all, the little evil king was more abnormal and cruel than any heretic cultivator.
However, what had happened?
The little evil king had suddenly fallen in love with a girl.
He had given all of his wealth to that girl, and even felt very happy doing so.
For that girl, he had actually learned how to be a decent person.
Now, all three generations of past, present and future evil kings had all gone crazy. Was there any hope for the evil imperial court in the future?
Wang Hang's mood was tepid.
At this moment, in the pavilion, the little evil king was consulting with a well-known playboy from the Purple Moon County on how to please women.
"Brother Evil, we don't call women 'babe' anymore. It's too vulgar and disgusting."
"Then what should I call her?"
"Call her 'darling'. Don't look down on the difference that one word can make. The context and feeling it invokes is completely different."
The little evil king looked like he had been taught a valuable lesson.
He then asked, "Brother Tai, what kind of romantic words should we say to the woman that we like?"
"You've asked the right person."
Brother Tai was immediately energized and asked, "Do you see a fish in the water?"
"I do, but what does that have to do with romantic words?"
The little evil king was puzzled.
"How is it not related? You have to use everything you see and think to express your sincerity towards her."
Brother Tai continued, "Listen, Bao, I like fish now. Why do I like fish? Because I like to be with you until death do us part!"
The little evil king's eyes lit up and a thought flashed through his mind.
It was as if he had pushed open a window of inspiration.
"Brother Tai is really a good teacher and a good friend. I've understood many things thanks to you."
The little evil king's fighting spirit immediately soared, and he wished he could immediately meet Chu Yun and say a few romantic words to her.
At this moment, Wang Hang sent a voice transmission to him helplessly, "Your Highness, Miss Chu has appeared in Purple Moon County."
"Brother Tai, I will take my leave first. I'll pay you a visit again in the future."
The little evil king could not wait to leave; his heart had already flown to Chu Yun.
As Chu Yun was searching for spiritual herbs, a figure rushed over quickly.
She frowned. Little evil king?
She heard the little evil king's voice coming from afar. As usual, his tone was full of affection.
"Darling, I fell just now. Why did I fall, you ask? Because I wanted to sleep with you!"
Chu Yun was furious.
The little evil king, this b*stard, was purposely courting death, right?
"Go to hell!"
She waved her hand and her palm struck forth.
A strike empowered by her ninth-level truth realm cultivation was definitely something the little evil king would not be able to withstand.
At this critical moment, Wang Hang appeared and blocked the strike for the little evil king.
Pfft!
Even though Wang Hang had recently broken through to the eighth level of the truth realm, after blocking Chu Yun's palm strike, his body flew backward and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The little evil king, who was behind him, was also sent flying more than ten meters backward.
