"Haha, well said. If my Divinity Transformation stage realm were still here today, dealing with them wouldn't even require a Divine Sense."

Praised by Xia Liu, Bai Jue felt comforted from the bottom of his heart.

This kid finally became sensible for a moment.

"Awesome!"

What else could Xia Liu say?

Just envy.

"The commotion this time was rather significant. I'm afraid cultivators within a thousand miles sensed it. So, clean up the battlefield quickly and leave."

Bai Jue was also worried that there might be Nascent Soul stage cultivators nearby.

In case they came here by chance.

Then they would really have to fight desperately.

"Alright, I'll check out Xiao Bai Bear in the Thunder Region first."

"Are you silly! Hurry and go down to collect those old guys' storage bags. If you don't want them, others will."

"Got it!"

A few breaths later, Xia Liu turned into a stream of light, rushing into the Thunder Region.

Due to the previous activation of Thunder Region's power.

At this moment, compared to before, Thunder Region was almost like heaven and earth.

Thunder no longer fell.

A few hundred meters away, Xiao Bai Bear was crouched on the ground, trembling.

Even its large and mighty physique shivered under the sweeping heavens.

This was a soul-stirring intimidation.

Fortunately, there was a barrier outside the Thunder Region, along with the internal area of the Thunder Region, otherwise, Xiao Bai Bear would also suffer serious injuries.

"Xiao Bai Bear, your physical body is much stronger than a cultivator's. I've already repaired your internal injuries. You'll soon reach your peak again. In the future, avoid clashing with High-Strength cultivators. If you can't beat them, then run, okay?"

Woof, woof...

Understanding Xia Liu's words, Step Thunder Bear lowered its head, emitting woof sounds, constantly stroking Xia Liu's thigh with its massive paw.

"It's unsafe here now. While the Thunder Region isn't operating normally, quickly find a place to recover."

Before leaving, Step Thunder Bear reluctantly looked at Xia Liu.

Glancing back incessantly, woofing repeatedly, it finally disappeared from Xia Liu's sight.

"This time, although I haven't reached the Golden Pill stage, with Elder Bai's power alongside, even Golden Pill Late Stage is not to be feared!"

"Very impressive indeed—minor achievement in Thunder God Body, Golden Pill Mid-Stage poses little threat to you anymore. With Thunder Control Technique and Taiqing Sword, paired with my state of mind, below Nascent Soul stage, you should be unrivaled!"

Bai Jue truly admired Xia Liu.

Before leaving the Thunder Region, he gathered thunderstorms within dozens of miles with the power of Thunder God Body, trying to break through to Golden Pill in one fell swoop.

Although he failed, he did not fall.

To save Xiao Bai Bear, he exerted his full strength.

Refreshing his previous peak realm.

If not for the minor achievement in Thunder God Body, Bai Jue wouldn't dare to trigger too much Thunder Region power.

Otherwise, Xia Liu's physical body would have been crushed by this force.

Achieving this step with Foundation Establishment Late Stage energy body, Bai Jue was extremely gratified.

In today's Cultivation Realm, no one but Xia Liu could achieve this.

"Hehe, all thanks to Elder Bai; I didn't contribute much."

"Anyway, I'm used to your boasting. My heart feels no wavering, I even want to laugh."

If he had a physical body, Bai Jue wouldn't give him just a blank stare; the kid even thinks he can ascend!

"Haha! Thunder Region will soon resume operation again. Take this chance to head towards the Thunder Region's interior and leave,"

Xia Liu proposed.

"Yes, let's hurry to break through the Thunder Region's range."

The opportunities offered by Thunder Region had reached their limit.

Staying longer was useless.

It might attract High-Strength cultivators who were coming.

The gains wouldn't be worth the loss.

The Spirit Sword soared through the air at an extremely fast speed towards the Thunder Region's interior.

Minutes later, Xia Liu safely left before the Thunder Region reopened.

Middle part of the Extreme Cold Secret Realm, near the depths.

Standing before the dim region, Xia Liu felt an indescribable sense of dread.

From his soul, from the unknown depths of his core.

"Leaving like this is somewhat regrettable. Extreme Cold Flame may likely reside in the realm's depths. Don't plan to try it?"

Bai Jue didn't suggest Xia Liu leave the Secret Realm directly.

Some opportunities still existed here.

If he obtained Extreme Cold Flame.

Xia Liu's Fire Origin might undergo changes.

Might even gather a Golden Core with the help of this fortune.

If Xia Liu were an ordinary cultivator, Bai Jue would surely not suggest such a move.

Generally speaking, ordinary cultivators wait to stabilize their internal cultivation before considering further enhancement.

Xia Liu was different; he seemed born for cultivation.

Any Cultivation Technique or Spirit Art, upon a glimpse, he comprehended thoroughly.

As for internal power, at most only few days are needed for stabilization and consolidation.

Such talent, Bai Jue had heard of before.

It was said that back then, Heaven-Shaking Immortal Monarch never faced bottlenecks in his advancement, learning on his own.

In one leap, he became a Great Power cultivator in the Cultivation Realm thousands of years ago.

He was the last to ascend.

Heaven-Shaking Immortal Monarch was merely a title, not an actual immortal.

Whether he became immortal post-ascension, nobody knows.

Even the veracity of this legend is unknown.

Too distant.

Tens of thousands of years could transform the Cultivation Realm drastically.

Bai Jue dared not say the Cultivation Realm's peak was ascending.

Only that this was the sole legend among thousands of years, other rumors were absent.

It was why he hadn't mentioned Heaven-Shaking Immortal Monarch to Xia Liu.

For he was unreal—a mental fabrication used by older cultivators as a driving force for cultivation.

Xia Liu was motivated enough, need not inventions.

"With strength comparable to Golden Pill Mid-Stage now, plus Elder Bai, I might even contend against Nascent Soul Early Stage. Where can't I go?"

Xia Liu's thoughts instantly reached his soul, and the dread dissipated.

A soul full of confidence, daring, he stepped into the gloomy depths of the Extreme Cold Secret Realm!

"Very well, but here you must be cautious; even Nascent Soul stage cultivators face suppression of Divine Sense. I can at most probe one mile."

Bai Jue transmitted his thoughts.

"As long as fate accompanies me, a hundred meters will suffice."

"Your response has character! I like it!"

Bai Jue praised enthusiastically.

"By the way, if my predictions are correct, many Nascent Soul stage cultivators are drawn to the depths of the Extreme Cold Secret Realm. When moving around, you should hide your cultivation and appearance."

"Hmm? Isn't this realm meant for Foundation Establishment and Golden Pill stage cultivators? Does it attract Nascent Soul stage too?"

Xia Liu was puzzled, could the outside world's talk about the Extreme Cold Secret Realm be false?

"That's correct for the Secret Realm's periphery and middle, but even Golden Pill stage cultivators hesitate to tread into the realm's depths."

Years ago, Bai Jue entered the realm's depths as a Nascent Soul stage cultivator and obtained some opportunities.

Ultimately, prior to sealing, he ventured again with Divinity Transformation stage cultivation.

Discovering that even his Divine Sense was suppressed.

He deduced there must be secrets here.

At least Divinity Transformation stage cultivators couldn't fully probe.

"Alright! Following Elder Bai's advice, I'll use a secret technique to disguise cultivation, and a black robe to conceal my appearance..."
