"The Innate undying Spirit Light, the Flying Immortal Zither, and the damaged ancient mirror."
Looking at the three treasures in his hands, Chen Nianzhi finally murmured softly. Delighted, he put all three treasures away.
Having reaped such enormous gains this time, Chen Nianzhi had no intention of lingering in the chaos. He once more activated the Guixu Pearl, traversed endless chaotic space-time, and returned to the Guixu Grotto-Heaven.
"Husband."
This time, Qu Nishang was the first to discover Chen Nianzhi's return.
After many years apart, Qu Nishang's cultivation had already reached the Ancient Immortal realm. Among Chen Nianzhi's five Dao companions, her progress had been the fastest.
Chen Nianzhi knew very well that this was mainly because the Immortal Scallop clan had given Qu Nishang tremendous support.
Even so, Chen Nianzhi was greatly pleased. After examining Qu Nishang carefully, he said, "I see that your mana has reached the ninth limit, and your Primordial Spirit has also cultivated to the ninth-limit realm."
"It seems that before the calamity arrives, you will be able to step into the Five-Calamity Ancient Immortal realm."
Qu Nishang smiled faintly. Once both her Primordial Spirit and mana had reached the ninth limit, they would in turn nourish her body, Dao, and Dao Fruit. The cultivation speed of those three great heavenly barriers would certainly soar by leaps and bounds.
There were still roughly three million years before the calamity. Barring any mishaps, that would be enough for her to cultivate to the Five-Calamity realm.
Thinking of this, Qu Nishang could not help looking at Chen Nianzhi. "This breakthrough was also thanks to the Soul-Nourishing Wood and Heaven-Soul Fruit you gave me, Husband."
"You and I are one as husband and wife. Why fuss over such things?"
Chen Nianzhi smiled faintly, then asked, "Where is Linglong?"
