The storms and upheavals of the outside world had little to do with Zhang Qingyuan, who was in seclusion.
Not to mention that he had no idea his battle with North Mountain Academy Dean Lu Shijie and Qianyun Mountain Great Elder Fan Gongliang had caused such enormous turmoil outside.
Even if he had known, he would not have cared.
At most, he might make a move to intimidate the beast tide and force those Demonic Beasts back into the Qingyang Monster Beast Mountain Range.
As for Qianyun Mountain and the unrest within the cultivation world of the North Mountain Domain, they were not worth a moment of his attention.
Even if Qianyun Mountain cultivators came looking for him,
the final result would merely be a few more Qianyun Mountain cultivator corpses!
Having walked step by step to where he was today,
there were hardly any places in the mere North Mountain Domain that could make him wary.
This was the confidence brought by immense strength!
His tranquil state of mind
allowed Zhang Qingyuan to devote himself wholeheartedly to cultivation and improve his strength.
Time flew by,
and in the blink of an eye, five years had passed.
On this day,
within the Cave Heaven Secret Realm, Zhang Qingyuan had just emerged from seclusion. Standing with hands behind back atop the tallest mountain at the heart of the entire Cave Heaven, he gazed into the layers of clouds ahead, surging like vast waves,
and could not help but feel utterly refreshed!
After five years of cultivation,
his strength had increased severalfold compared to five years earlier.
Not only had he completely consolidated his Early Law Domain Realm cultivation, but with ample High-grade Spirit Stones and the help of the refined Five Elements Core Pill, he had taken another great step forward!
