Secluded Cultivation, Cultivation Advancing by Leaps and Bounds Daily

Inside the quiet room of the Azure Stone Palace.

The Spiritual Energy, so dense it was almost liquid, filled the entire space to the brim. Just sitting here, every breath felt like inhaling the purest essence of heaven and earth.

Qin Feng sat cross-legged on a soft cushion, his eyes slightly closed, his mind already immersed within his body.

The recent commotion, the direct confrontation with a Saint, and the extortion of the Chan Sect, though appearing calm on the surface, had taken a significant toll on his mental energy.

More importantly, he needed to take stock of his gains from this endeavor.

With a slight shift of his thoughts, a sapphire-blue screen, visible only to him, quietly unfurled before his eyes.

As expected, the mission on the system's task bar was now marked as complete.

[Mission: Repel the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect and uphold Shi Ji's dignity.]

[Mission Evaluation: Super S-Class!]

[Evaluation Description: The host, with lightning speed, crushed the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect. Furthermore, with supreme power, he repelled a Saint's decree, forcing the Chan Sect to pay a hefty compensation. Not only did he perfectly uphold Shi Ji's dignity, but he also spread the fame of Skeleton Mountain throughout the Primordial World, greatly enhancing the host's reputation as a "backer." Performance far exceeded expectations, thus granting a Super S-Class evaluation!]

Seeing this evaluation, the corners of Qin Feng's mouth couldn't help but curve upwards slightly.

Super S-Class, it was indeed fitting.

Immediately after, a crisp notification sound of reward settlement echoed in his mind.

[Ding! Super S-Class mission rewards have been issued!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Time Law Fragment ×1!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: A massive amount of Merit Golden Light!]

Here it comes!

Qin Feng's eyes instantly lit up, his breathing becoming a little more rapid.

The massive amount of Merit Golden Light was secondary; the Time Law Fragment was the greatest prize this time!

Time reigns supreme, space is king.

This was one of the most supreme and mysterious laws among the Three Thousand Great Daos.

Without any hesitation, Qin Feng willed it, directly choosing to merge.

Buzz!

A peculiar fragment, emitting an ethereal glow, as if it didn't exist in this space-time, materialized out of thin air within his Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness.

The fragment seemed to be inscribed with all the mysteries of the universe from its birth to its destruction. Countless bizarre scenes flickered in and out of existence within it. A single glance was enough to shatter the Dao Heart of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, leading to complete submersion.

However, Qin Feng's Chaos Undying Body already possessed an unimaginable affinity for the Three Thousand Great Daos.

The moment the Time Law Fragment appeared, his Primordial Spirit, resembling a chaotic sea of stars, proactively emitted a wave of yearning.

The fragment offered no resistance, gently integrating into Qin Feng's Primordial Spirit.

Boom!

In that instant, Qin Feng felt his entire worldview completely overturned.

His consciousness seemed to stretch infinitely, breaking free from the shackles of his body and leaping beyond the limitations of time and space.

He saw the past of this quiet room; it had once been a jagged, strange rock, witnessing countless years of wind and frost.

He saw the present of the room; he was sitting cross-legged here, striving for that supreme realm.

He even glimpsed the blurry future of the room; it still stood here, but the palace's owner seemed to have gained a few more feminine figures...

Past, present, future.

These three originally distinct timelines seemed to intertwine into a tangible net at this moment.

Qin Feng's comprehension of time reached an unprecedented new level.

Just as he was immersed in this profound enlightenment, the massive amount of Merit Golden Light finally arrived.

Like the Milky Way pouring down from the nine heavens, billions of auspicious golden lights pierced through the room's restrictions, cascading down majestically and enveloping Qin Feng entirely in a giant golden cocoon.

Merit Golden Light was the reward from the Heavenly Dao for those who contributed to maintaining the stability of the Primordial World, possessing infinite wondrous uses.

At this moment, this Merit Golden Light acted like the gentlest catalyst, furiously cleansing Qin Feng's physical body and Primordial Spirit, causing the speed of his integration with the Time Law to surge once more.

"Not enough!"

Qin Feng abruptly opened his eyes, as if suns and moons were being born and dying within them.

A breakthrough in law alone was not enough for him to reach that threshold in one go.

He needed energy, a terrifying amount of energy vast enough to explode a Great Thousand World!

With a thought, the countless rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures extorted from the Chan Sect surged out of his storage space like an avalanche, instantly filling the entire quiet room.

Immortal herbs and spiritual roots with ten thousand years of age, divine metals and jade imbued with innate Dao rhyme, and even several Innate and Acquired Spiritual Treasures of decent quality.

"Refine!"

Qin Feng uttered a cold word.

The Chaos Undying Body operated at full capacity, and a terrifying vortex formed around him, erupting suddenly.

In the quiet room, treasures that would drive a Quasi-Saint mad seemed to have encountered the most terrifying furnace in the world.

Whether it was indestructible innate divine iron or immortal herbs and spiritual roots as warm and lustrous as jade, the moment they touched the vortex, they were decomposed into the most fundamental, purest torrents of energy.

The five-colored torrents of energy transformed into brilliant rivers, rushing into Qin Feng's body one after another, all swallowed by his bottomless Chaos Undying Body.

Qin Feng's cultivation aura began to skyrocket at a terrifying speed!

The bottleneck of Grand Unity Golden Immortal perfection, a chasm that had trapped countless powerful beings in the Primordial World for billions of years, was as fragile as a piece of thin paper before him.

Without the slightest pause.

Without any obstruction.

RUMBLE!

An invisible shackle shattered in his body.

A terrifying pressure, far surpassing that of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal and transcending heaven and earth, erupted from Qin Feng!

Quasi-Saint!

He did it!

The moment Qin Feng broke through, the sky above Azure Stone Palace changed.

The clear, vast sky was instantly shrouded by boundless Chaos Qi.

A phantom yet real river of time appeared out of nowhere, spanning the heavens.

Within the river, countless scenes flickered in and out of existence: the fierce battles of the Dragon-Han Calamity, the blood-soaked Primordial World of the Witch-Demon struggle, and even terrifying scenes from a future era where Saints bled and heaven and earth returned to Chaos.

Around the river of time, space repeatedly flickered and collapsed like a shattered mirror, forming deep and terrifying black holes.

Time and space, the two supreme laws, intertwined and danced at this moment, releasing terrifying phenomena that made heaven and earth tremble.

This phenomenon instantly alerted the entire Azure Stone Palace.

Outside the palace gate, Shi Ji, who had been sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened her eyes.

She looked up at the sky, her beautiful phoenix eyes filled with unparalleled shock and awe.

"This... this is... someone has attained the Dao and become a Quasi-Saint?"

Shi Ji's heart trembled wildly.

She had never heard of such a terrifying breakthrough phenomenon!

Even Duobao Daoist, the senior disciple under her master Tongtian Jiaozhu, had a momentum far less than a ten-thousandth of what was before her when he broke through to Quasi-Saint!

The source of this aura... was from the direction of the quiet room!

It's Daoist Brother!

Daoist Brother has broken through to Quasi-Saint!

The moment this thought arose, an indescribable joy and pride instantly overwhelmed Shi Ji's reason.

But she had not forgotten her duty!

If such a world-shattering phenomenon were allowed to spread, it would likely alarm all the powerful beings in the Primordial World, bringing endless trouble to her Daoist Brother who was currently breaking through.

"Rise!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Shi Ji rapidly formed hand seals before her.

With her delicate cry, mystical array patterns suddenly lit up all over the mountain body of Azure Stone Palace.

Hum--

The mountain-protecting array that Qin Feng had casually set up earlier was now pushed to its limit.

A giant, invisible light screen shot up into the sky, like an overturned giant bowl, covering the entire Azure Stone Palace, along with the terrifying Quasi-Saint phenomenon above.

From the outside, Azure Stone Palace remained as serene and ethereal as ever, surrounded by immortal energy, as if nothing had happened.

Having done all this, Shi Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But she dared not slacken in the slightest.

She took a step forward, her figure instantly appearing at the entrance of Qin Feng's secluded cultivation chamber.

With a flip of her palm, a cold, gleaming precious sword was already in her hand.

She stood there quietly, her posture as straight as a pine tree, like a peerlessly beautiful female war god.

She was fulfilling her promise, acting as a shield, guarding him.

Her beautiful eyes, which had once shed tears of emotion, were now completely filled with an unprecedented determination and pride.

Her Daoist Brother was the greatest hero in this world.

And she was the first, and last, line of defense guarding the hero.
