Cultivation Begins From The Desert-Chapter 875 - 20: The End of the Immortal Gathering, Reunion Sweeter Than Newlyweds

The defeated are no longer allowed to challenge or be challenged by others.

So, after about two months, only twenty-seven True Immortals and True Spirits remained in the competition for those three spots.

These twenty-seven True Immortals and True Spirits all had cultivation levels no lower than the Mid-Tribulation Crossing Stage, and almost all came from major powers of the Demon and Human races.

On the Human side, the twelve True Immortals all hailed from various Immortal Palaces.

And among the fifteen Demon True Spirits were famous families like the True Dragons, Phoenixes, Qilin, and Golden Crows.

This made Zhouyang couldn't help but marvel at the True Immortal Realm, indeed a vast land, where geniuses emerge in endless numbers.

He, who hadn't even reached ten thousand years, had already cultivated to the Late-Tribulation Crossing Stage and was originally quite proud and satisfied internally.

But after witnessing these people, he realized he wasn't really as unique or special as he once thought.

Of course, Zhouyang would not belittle himself lightly, for he came from humble beginnings, and the hardships he endured to get to where he was far surpassed those of these True Immortals and True Spirits born into noble bloodlines and families.

Perhaps they were currently on the same tier, but Zhouyang was confident he would eventually surpass them, just as he had left countless other peer talents behind.

Once again, the Phoenix Feather descended, this time landing by Zhouyang's side.

He stood up, his gaze sweeping over the fifteen Demon True Spirits, finally settling on a Cyan True Dragon.

"Huan Yang of Chixiao Immortal Palace requests some guidance from Fellow Daoist Qing Mang."

The Cyan True Dragon was a descendant of the Cyan Dragon, although only possessing Tier Seven Middle Grade cultivation, its strength far exceeded that of the Black Giant Turtle Zhouyang first fought.

Comparing the remaining fourteen Demon True Spirits and ruling out a few of the Phoenix True Spirits, Zhouyang still felt that this Cyan True Dragon was more suitable for him to face.

Seeing Zhouyang unexpectedly selecting him as an opponent, the Cyan True Dragon was momentarily taken aback, then looked at him and said in a deep voice, "It's surprising to see someone of your caliber emerge from the already declining Chixiao Immortal Palace."

"But since you've chosen me, it only shows your lack of foresight. Shortsighted people find it hard to accomplish great things!"

Zhouyang didn't expect the Cyan Dragon to boast as well.

Recalling the previous True Spirits that had fought, they were indeed all quite arrogant, so it wasn't surprising anymore.

He calmly said, "Fellow Daoist Qing Mang, save those words for after you win."

Then he flew away from the Floating Immortal Island.

As if infuriated by his last words, as soon as Elder Fuli True Saint gave the order to start, the Cyan True Dragon launched a ferocious assault.

The Cyan Dragon belongs to the Wood attribute, dominating vitality and commanding thunder.

As the Cyan True Dragon soared and moved, one after another, massive green-purple Thunder Balls appeared out of thin air, swirling around him.

Then, with a swipe of its dragon claw, countless Thunder Balls shot toward Zhouyang like meteors.

Boom boom boom!!

The densely packed Thunder Balls exploded all at once, instantly turning a significant portion of the battlefield into a sea of thunder.

The Cyan True Dragon, seeing this, roared triumphantly and then transformed into a streak of cyan lightning, diving into the sea of thunder.

Yet, the very next second, from within the sea of thunder, came the Cyan True Dragon's roar, filled with shock and anger.

In this moment, Zhouyang also transformed into a violet-gold True Dragon, freely swimming through the sea of thunder.

In his dragon claws, he wielded a Golden Greatsword and a Crimson Gold Dragon Spear.

Thinking he could rely on his True Spirit physical advantage for close-quarters combat, the Cyan True Dragon found himself slashed and stabbed by the violet-gold True Dragon, yelping loudly in the process.

"To think he could use a body transformation divine technique to engage in hand-to-hand combat against a True Dragon, and also gain the upper hand!"

The gathered True Immortals and True Spirits watching the event were all astonished at this sight.

Previously, Zhouyang had always relied on powerful Fire Attribute Immortal Techniques and some formidable Immortal Artifacts to secure victory.

Such a physical transformation divine technique had never been used before this.

Seeing him now, having trained and mastered such a formidable body transformation divine technique, those still participating in the Ten Thousand Immortals Struggle were visibly nervous, displaying a look of concern on their faces.

On the battlefield, seeing that simple melee combat couldn't best Zhouyang, the Cyan True Dragon let out a series of enraged roars, unleashing divine techniques in counterattack.

Its body gathered thunder and instantly transformed itself into a dragon of lightning.

This was a divine technique similar to Zhouyang's Law Body, though not nearly as advanced, rather a more rudimentary version.

Nonetheless, this divine technique wasn't to be underestimated in its power.

After employing this divine technique, the Cyan True Dragon's speed reached an extreme, making it very difficult for Zhouyang to land a hit, and even when he did, the damage was significantly reduced, barely causing injury.

Meanwhile, utilizing its lightning-like speed, it continuously launched assaults from various angles around Zhouyang.

In an instant, Zhouyang had been struck successfully dozens of times, accumulating numerous injuries of varying severity.

Witnessing this, Jiang Fengxian and her daughter on the Floating Immortal Island felt a tightness in their hearts, unable to hide their worried expressions.

They weren't concerned about Zhouyang's safety, given that Elder Fuli True Saint was overseeing the entire scene.

However, they feared that if Zhouyang lost, he wouldn't be able to take them away.

Elder Fuli True Saint had made it clear to them that if Zhouyang couldn't make it into the top five, even if it allowed them to reunite, they wouldn't permit him to take them away from the Phoenix Palace.

Hence, they had a vested interest in not seeing Zhouyang lose this magical combat.

However, they were overthinking it, for Zhouyang hadn't yet shown his full range of abilities.

Realizing the Cyan True Dragon's strength slightly exceeded his expectations, Zhouyang soon stopped holding back.

Out of nowhere, a Golden Lotus Treasure Lamp flew from above his head, casting brilliant golden firelight for miles.

As the Cyan True Dragon was about to pull back after yet another successful sneak attack on Zhouyang, the Golden Lotus Treasure Lamp suddenly vanished into thin air, instantly reappearing above its head.

Though unaware of what this Golden Lotus Treasure Lamp was, the Cyan True Dragon dared not let such an unknown entity touch its body.

Thus, it spewed a Thunder Ball toward the Golden Lotus Treasure Lamp while transforming back into a bolt of lightning to disappear from the spot.

However, an alarming turn of events soon unfolded.

No matter how fast it moved, the Golden Lotus Treasure Lamp always managed to instantly reappear above its head.

Even if he deliberately disrupted the nearby space law, he couldn't change this outcome.

And after only a few attempts, the Golden Lotus Treasure Lamp had already fallen on him, instantly erupting into a large amount of golden flames.

The golden flames burned fiercely, not only destroying the green True Dragon's thunder body divine technique but also serving as a locator, allowing Zhouyang to capture his silhouette promptly.

In this situation, let alone ambushing Zhouyang as before, he could hardly guarantee his own safety.

In just a few moves, the Sun God Sword that Zhouyang wielded struck him, forcing him back to his original form on the spot.

Then, before he could use other divine techniques, a golden treasure tower appeared above him, its doors wide open, releasing a terrifying suctioning force to pull him inside.

After enduring this combo, he had already lost the chance to struggle, and soon Fuli True Saint declared his defeat.

"It seems my judgment was not wrong after all, would you agree, Fellow Daoist Qing Mang?"

On the battlefield, Zhouyang waved to clear away the immortal artifacts, looking at the cyan True Dragon with a smirk.

Upon hearing his words, the expression of the cyan True Dragon turned extremely sour.

He glared at Zhouyang with eyes full of anger and snorted coldly, "Hmph, you only got the upper hand because of your cultivation! Wait until I make a breakthrough, and I shall personally go to Chixiao Immortal Palace to battle you again!"

Then, without waiting for Zhouyang's response, he returned dejectedly to the floating immortal island.

After this battle, the challenges Zhouyang faced diminished even further.

As another half month passed, only ten could still compete for the top three positions, exactly four Human Race True Immortals and six Demon Race True Spirits.

Among these ten True Immortals and True Spirits, including Zhouyang, there were three late-stage Tribulation True Immortals and two Tier Seven Top-grade True Spirits.

Judging by cultivation alone, Zhouyang seemed secure in making the top five.

But things weren't that simple.

Crossing-level combat, for some True Spirits with powerful bloodlines and bizarre divine techniques, and for some True Immortals with powerful immortal treasures, was not an impossible feat.

Zhouyang had witnessed the strength of the other nine True Immortals and True Spirits and was absolutely not underestimating them.

The Phoenix Feather drifted down, landing again in front of a Qilin Race True Spirit.

This Qilin Race True Spirit was one of those two Tier Seven Top-grade True Spirits, its true form being a Water Qilin.

His sapphire-like eyes darted back and forth among the four Human Race True Immortals, seemingly undecided on whom to choose as an opponent.

Just then, the cyan True Dragon, who had been defeated by Zhouyang before, suddenly spoke up.

"Princess Youli, if you can help this prince eliminate that fellow from Chixiao Immortal Palace, this prince will give you an opportunity to enter the Dragon Spirit Sacred Realm!"

This damn snake!!

Zhouyang's eyebrow twitched, casting a glare at the cyan True Dragon, taking note of this individual.

Originally hesitating about whom to choose, the Water Qilin quickly nodded upon hearing the cyan True Dragon's words and said, "Alright, it seems the same to me no matter whom I choose, so I'll ask Fellow Daoist Huan Yang for guidance then."

This remark came out, and apart from Zhouyang, the remaining three Human Race True Immortals all breathed a sigh of relief.

In truth, none of them could be certain of defeating that Water Qilin.

Now that the Water Qilin chose Zhouyang, at least they were safe for the moment.

Zhouyang, with a gloomy expression, flew into the dueling ground alongside the Water Qilin, knowing he would need to give it his all in this fight.

As a powerful True Spirit equal to the Dragon and Phoenix, the Qilin's strength was naturally on par with them.

Moreover, with the reinforcement of its strong bloodline, the Water Qilin's skill in manipulating and using the Water Attribute Law was indeed superior to Zhouyang's understanding and use of the Fire Attribute Law.

Additionally, in terms of immortal artifacts, she was no less equipped, possessing two Tier Seven Top-grade Immortal Artifacts.

With previous adversaries, Zhouyang quickly ended the battles.

However, in this struggle against the Water Qilin, they battled intensely for five days and nights, forcing Zhouyang to deploy both his avatar and immortal puppet.

Finally, Zhouyang managed to barely edge out the Water Qilin by using the divine technique of the Law Body.

"Damn you, Qing Mang, you've cost this princess the chance to obtain the Celestial Spirit Immortal Dew. Offering me an entry into the Dragon Spirit Sacred Realm cannot compensate for this, you must make amends to this princess!"

After exiting the battlefield, the Water Qilin cast an unwilling glance at Zhouyang, then flew directly towards the cyan True Dragon's floating island, unleashing the fury in her heart on the cyan True Dragon.

This failure left her feeling extremely depressed and upset; she hadn't expected her greed to cause her to exit the competition without even making the top five when she had a chance to make the top three.

Zhouyang emerged victorious, but his face did not reveal much joy.

While the Law Body could still be used again, its effectiveness greatly reduced now that it's known.

However, the benefits of this battle were clearly visible.

In subsequent draws by the Phoenix Feather, none dared to challenge Zhouyang again, allowing him to smoothly enter the top five, passing Fuli True Saint's trial.

This development let Jiang Fengxian and her daughter breathe a complete sigh of relief.

With the premature elimination of the Water Qilin, the final five contenders consisted of three Human Race True Immortals and only two Demon Race True Spirits.

"Now only the last five immortal friends remain. The rule is to select two candidates for the top three first, then the remaining immortal friend picks one from the two who failed to determine the final entrant."

On the floating immortal island, Fuli True Saint swept his Phoenix Eyes across the last five competitors, announcing the new rules.

Then the Phoenix Feather drifted out once more, landing before the Phoenix among the two True Spirits.

This Phoenix was only a Tier Seven Middle-grade True Spirit, the weakest in cultivation level.

He managed to come this far, relying entirely on the help of two powerful immortal artifacts he possessed.

Seeing the Phoenix Feather land before him, he immediately scanned the three Human Race True Immortals, finally setting his sights on Zhouyang.

Observing this, Zhouyang couldn't help but frown slightly, casting a discreet glance at Fuli True Saint.

Yet Fuli True Saint made no response to his gaze, as if unaware.

"Huang Jue of Phoenix Palace asks Fellow Daoist Huan Yang for guidance."

Ultimately, the Phoenix issued a challenge to Zhouyang.

At this point, Zhouyang had no choice but to fight.

He immediately joined the Phoenix in flying into the battlefield, where they commenced intense combat.

For the reward of being in the top three, Zhouyang couldn't afford to go easy and had to give it his all.

The two parties engaged in a grand battle that lasted three days and two nights, and in the end, it was Zhouyang who once again employed the [Law Body] divine technique to finally and arduously claim victory.

The next battle saw the last of the Demon Race's Tier Seven Top-Grade True Spirits, a [Nine-headed Celestial Snake], defeated by another Human Race True Immortal.

That last Human Race True Immortal then chose Huang Jue from the Phoenix Palace as his opponent and emerged victorious.

The result was that all the top three positions in this Ten Thousand Immortals Competition were captured by Human Race True Immortals!!

As soon as these results came out, even the Fuli True Saint's expression darkened considerably.

The Demon Race's True Spirits present looked as though they were in mourning, entirely devoid of their prior arrogance.

The bloody reality was laid bare before them; the young generation of Demon Race True Spirits indeed fell short of the young generation of Human Race True Immortals.

Whether they were willing to accept it or not, there was no changing this outcome.

"Now the three Human Race Immortal Friends can battle one more time to determine their rankings or mutually agree to settle their rankings."

Fuli True Saint's voice echoed from the venue, suppressing her discontent and continuing to preside over the final proceedings.

Upon hearing this, Zhouyang and the other two Human Race True Immortals exchanged glances, quietly consulting amongst themselves.

It wasn't long before the Three Immortals reached a consensus, deciding on the final rankings through discussion.

The final result was that Zhouyang placed third and could take away the [Million-Year Holy Soul Flower].

Master Hanshan from Profound Nether Immortal Palace placed second and could take away the [Celestial Spirit Immortal Dew].

The first place went to Master Jingxuan from Liangyi Immortal Palace, claiming the most precious [Nirvana Holy Pearl].

Seeing the Three Immortals agree on the result, Fuli True Saint did not delay and quickly brought out the three Immortal Treasures, handing them over to the Three Immortals.

"Since the three Immortal Friends all agree with this ranking, these three Immortal Treasures will be handed over to you."

Having done this, Fuli True Saint turned her gaze toward the five Phoenix Maidens on the Floating Immortal Island preparing to choose their Dao Companions and said, "All of you have seen the performance of each Immortal Friend. If any of them has captured your heart, you can choose for yourself now!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fengxian, who could no longer hold back, swiftly flew toward Zhouyang on the Floating Immortal Island.

However, besides her, the remaining four Phoenix Maidens all flew toward the True Spirits present.

However, the selection of a Dao Companion wasn't merely a matter of the Phoenix Maiden's choice; the ones chosen still had the right to refuse.

But generally speaking, unless they had a fixed Dao Companion beforehand, it wasn't common for anyone to refuse a Tier Seven Phoenix Maiden as their Dao Companion.

After all five Phoenix Maidens selected their Dao Companions, this Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Assembly came to a close.

Fuli True Saint, representing the Phoenix Palace, made a final closing speech and then announced the end of the Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Assembly.

With the end of the grand event, the participating guests embarked on their journeys home.

The events that occurred during this Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Assembly would spread among the high-tier ranks of both Demon and Human Races with their return to their respective regions.

But Zhouyang couldn't leave so quickly.

After the Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Assembly ended, he was taken back to their Phoenix Nest by Jiang Fengxian and her daughter.

"Fengxian, Feng'er, I've finally found you two!"

Inside the Phoenix Nest, as Jiang Fengxian and her daughter reverted to their familiar appearances, Zhouyang instantly and excitedly embraced the mother and daughter, unwilling to let go for a long time.

From the Spirit Realm to the True Immortal Realm, he had never forgotten about looking for the missing mother and daughter.

He always believed that they were still alive.

Now the facts proved him right, his perseverance was tremendously justified.

"We missed you too, Father, always yearning to see you again!"

Jiang Yufeng responded excitedly, tears of joy flowing from her eyes.

"Zhou Lang, you... have you been well all these years?"

Although Jiang Fengxian did not shed tears, her eyes were moist, filled with emotion.

After thousands of years apart, meeting again in the Immortal Realm, the family of three had endless words to share.

Mostly, it was Zhouyang speaking.

He talked about how he felt saddened and worried upon knowing their disappearance, and how much effort he spent searching for them.

He spoke about the hardships he went through to finally achieve immortality.

He also talked about the dangers he faced to ascend to the True Immortal Realm.

Then he recounted his adventures in the True Immortal Realm in detail.

He spent a full ten days and ten nights telling it all!

Listening for ten days and nights, Jiang Fengxian and her daughter were moved by Zhouyang's efforts to find them and also marveled at his achievements, admiring him profoundly.

"To sever the Tribulation on a Nascent Soul, refining the Immortal Body with Tribulation Thunder, Father, performing such feats even in the Lower Realm, would be rare even in this True Immortal Realm!"

"No wonder even that powerful Water Qilin is no match for you!"

Jiang Yufeng, with eyes full of admiration, looked at Zhouyang, thoroughly conquered by his astonishing exploits, becoming his little admirer.

Jiang Fengxian also looked at Zhouyang with a flushed face, her eyes filled with adoration.

Seeing this, Zhouyang felt immensely proud and satisfied at heart.

A father gaining the admiration of his daughters, a man winning the adoration of his woman, speaks volumes about his success as a father and a man.

In a man's eyes, his daughter's admiration and his wife's adoration are the best affirmations and the greatest joys.

"Alright, I've shared my story, now tell me about yours. How did you disappear back then? And what's with your True Spirit Bodies now?"

Zhouyang asked, his eyes curious as he looked at Jiang Fengxian and her daughter.

These questions had been on his mind for a long time, and he could finally voice them now.

When they heard his questions, Jiang Fengxian and her daughter exchanged glances, and then with Jiang Fengxian taking the lead and Jiang Yufeng supplementing, the mother and daughter together recounted the events of their disappearance and their experiences over the years.

It turns out that the mother and daughter disappeared in the "Realm of Ten Thousand Spirits" initially, just as Zhouyang had verified, being taken by a Great Power from the Upper Realm.

The one who took them was the True Saint "Jiuhua True Saint," a Late-Stage Returning to Void cultivation level from the Phoenix Palace.

The main reason "Jiuhua True Saint" took them was due to Jiang Yufeng.

It turns out the True Phoenix Feather Jiang Fengxian acquired initially actually fell off "Jiuhua True Saint."

According to "Jiuhua True Saint" herself, she battled a formidable enemy in the Chaos Void, shattering countless interfaces.

The True Phoenix Feather Jiang Fengxian obtained was shed when she was wounded by that enemy.

Originally, one fallen feather naturally didn't attract "Jiuhua True Saint's" attention.

However, when Jiang Yufeng absorbed the Phoenix True Blood within the feather incidentally during the fetal stage, she inherited "Jiuhua True Saint's" bloodline, forming a subtle connection between them.

When Jiang Fengxian and her daughter entered the "Realm of Ten Thousand Spirits," attempting to use spirit elixirs from within to eliminate the residual will of Phoenix True Blood in Jiang Yufeng combined with Celestial Phoenix Race's secret techniques, "Jiuhua True Saint" suddenly sensed it.

Clearly, for someone like "Jiuhua True Saint," once sensing something, finding the target is no difficulty at all.

She quickly shattered the "Realm of Ten Thousand Spirits," forcibly returning Jiang Fengxian and her daughter to the True Immortal Realm.

After uncovering the origin of Phoenix True Blood in Jiang Yufeng, "Jiuhua True Saint" could only marvel at destiny's wonders.

Since Jiang Yufeng carried her blood and was brought from the Lower Realm, ignoring her seemed unfitting.

Thus, she simply bestowed her true blood and some treasures upon Jiang Yufeng, aiding her transformation into a Phoenix Body, becoming a little phoenix.

Now Jiang Yufeng truly rose above!

She not only became a true phoenix but also, due to her connection with "Jiuhua True Saint," held great status in Phoenix Palace, receiving excellent treatment.

Less than two millennia later, she first crossed the Celestial Tribulation, advancing to Tier Seven.

Conversely, although Jiang Fengxian quickly cultivated to Ninth-Layer Nascent Soul Stage inside the Phoenix Palace, she couldn't break through to the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

When she was thoroughly disappointed, thinking she couldn't become an immortal in this life, preparing her affairs.

The reversal occurred.

Then Jiang Fengxian was over three thousand years old, with less than fifty years of lifespan remaining.

She started sorting out items brought from the Lower Realm, especially those given by Zhouyang.

Preparing to leave them as relics for her daughter Jiang Yufeng to keep, to hand over to Zhouyang if she met him again.

While sorting items, she unexpectedly found the Secret Treasure [Flying Goddess Statue].

At that time, seeing the secret treasure and thinking of its legend, Jiang Fengxian impulsively handed it to Jiang Yufeng to take it to the "Jiuyuan True Saint" for identification.

Unexpectedly, upon seeing the jade statue, "Jiuyuan True Saint's" expression greatly changed, actively inquiring about its origin.

Upon learning about its legend and origin, "Jiuyuan True Saint" remained silent before the statue for a long time.

Then looking at Jiang Yufeng, she said, "The owner of this statue indeed was remarkable. Your mother possessing her statue means a destined connection; thus, I gift your mother an opportunity, hoping she'll aid this saint someday."

The opportunity being, surprisingly, an [Immortal Divine Fruit]!!

The [Immortal Divine Fruit] not only possesses resurrection capabilities but for beings with Phoenix Bloodline, it's a divine fruit leading straight to the Immortal Realm.

After consuming the [Immortal Divine Fruit], under "Jiuyuan True Saint's" enlightenment, Jiang Fengxian quickly transformed into a Phoenix like Jiang Yufeng, directly becoming a Tier Seven True Spirit Phoenix.

Jiang Fengxian no longer worried about lifespan exhaustion leading to death due to the [Flying Goddess Statue], becoming a cherished treasure of "Jiuyuan True Saint."

From then on, mother and daughter peacefully cultivated in the Phoenix Palace.

Later, Jiang Yufeng missed her father Zhouyang and took advantage of visiting another demon powerhouse "Aries True Saint" alongside "Jiuyuan True Saint" to inquire Zhouyang's situation, learning he arrived in the True Immortal Realm.

Hence she planned to pick a strong, influential True Immortal from the Human Race to become Dao companion through the Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Assembly held by the Phoenix Palace, then leverage his power to find her father Zhouyang in the Human Race Immortal Realm.

Unexpectedly, before implementing her plan, she met her father Zhouyang directly at the assembly.

At this point, Jiang Yufeng lamented emotionally, "Honestly, seeing you then, Father, I and Mother couldn't believe it was real, couldn't believe such fortune!!"

Zhouyang responded similarly full of emotion, "Not only you, I didn't expect to encounter you and your mother again in this Phoenix Palace!"

"Surely heaven showed mercy, not willing to see me alone in this True Immortal Realm, thus brought you back to my side!"

Saying so, he couldn't help but embrace the mother and daughter closely, as if fearing it was merely a dream.

After holding them for a bit longer, Zhouyang released them and said, "No matter how you two have changed, you'll forever be my Dao Companion and daughter, now I wish to take you back to the Human Race Immortal Realm; would you come with me?"

Upon hearing, Jiang Yufeng immediately exclaimed, "Of course we would! If not for worry over being eyed and causing trouble, I would've long went to the Human Race Immortal Realm to find you, Father!"

Jiang Fengxian added, full of affection, "I'm willing to be with Zhou Lang forever, living together!"

This reply undoubtedly delighted Zhouyang immensely, simply the best news he's heard since arriving in the True Immortal Realm.

He solemnly grasped their wrists, saying, "Rest assured, as long as I'm here, I'll never let anyone harm a feather on you!"

That night, Zhouyang stayed at the Phoenix Nest and blissfully experienced a new moment of intimate joy with Jiang Fengxian.

Now one body rivaled the True Dragon, the other was a Phoenix Body – they were well-matched, neither needing to hold back, endlessly enjoying the twin cultivation wonders of spirit and flesh.

During this dual cultivation, the residual [Immortal Divine Fruit] power within Jiang Fengxian activated; not only greatly advancing her cultivation but benefiting Zhouyang immensely.

He initially needed more time to perfect his cultivation to reach Thunder Calamity level.

This dual cultivation unexpectedly saved him nearly a century of cultivation time.

The residual [Immortal Divine Fruit] power still continued flourishing within Jiang Fengxian; with further dual cultivation, their resultant benefits certainly won't fall short of the first encounter.

Thus, Zhouyang lived in the Phoenix Nest for seven years.

During those seven years, Zhouyang and Jiang Fengxian engaged in dual cultivation over ten times, completely refining the residual power of the [Immortal Divine Fruit].

Not only did Zhouyang's cultivation reach Late-Tribulation Crossing Perfection, but Jiang Fengxian also approached Tier Seven Middle-grade True Spirit, ready for advancement at any moment.

At this point, Zhouyang finally decided to leave the Phoenix Palace.

"Fengxian, Feng'Er, take me to meet Elder "Jiuyuan True Saint," let's farewell together, thanking her for caring for you all these years."

In the Phoenix Nest, Zhouyang watched his wife and daughter, smiling as he shared his decision.
