Six Years in Haste

Therefore, the only Purple Mansion Cultivation Method in the Lineage that can truly be used for cultivation is the Sunfire Scripture.

The remaining four Cultivation Method —metal, wood, water, and earth—can only be cultivated up to the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer. However, now that they have obtained the Azure Wood True Flame Art, which combines fire and wood attributes, the Lineage now possesses two Purple Mansion Cultivation Method Cultivation Method of its five attributes.

The remaining three attribute Cultivation Method are: the metal attribute Cultivation Method is the Blazing Sun Soaring Void Art, which combines metal and fire attributes; and the water attribute technique is the Bright Abyss Dao-Grace Art.

The Earth attribute was originally incomplete, but fortunately, with the acquisition of the Ji-Earth Earth Sovereign Art, this gap has been filled.

Of course, this is all temporary. As Purple Mansion Immortal Clan, the Chen Clan will still need to complete all five attributes of their Cultivation Method to reach the Purple Mansion Realm in the future.

In fact, Chen Nianzhi could also deduce the Cultivation Method of other attributes to the Purple Mansion Realm, but that would consume too much energy.

He hadn't seen many Cultivation Method, and with his current level of cultivation and experience, it would probably take him more than ten years to advance a Cultivation Method to the Purple Mansion Realm without sudden enlightenment.

This is only the Purple Mansion First Layer. To perfect the Cultivation Method to the Purple Mansion Late Stage, it will probably require decades of hard work.

It's not the right time yet. Once his cultivation level has increased and he has developed the Sunfire Scripture to a certain extent, it will be much more efficient to create Cultivation Method for the other four attributes from scratch.

The clan meeting lasted for two whole days, mainly consisting of Chen Qinghao reporting on some matters handled in recent years.

In addition, some backlogged issues that are neither too big nor too small and not particularly easy to handle, as well as plans for the next few years, also need to be addressed through collective decision-making.

Chen Nianzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief after the clan meeting ended two days later, and flew back to Spirit Isle Lake overnight.

"..."

Six years later, the Geng-Metal Earth Vein of Darksteel Mountain.

The Sword-Washing Pool shimmered, with a faint blue light floating within it.

Chen Nianzhi sat cross-legged in front of the Sword-Washing Pool, quietly cultivating with her eyes down, when suddenly she opened her eyes.

"Clang--"

A sword's cry rang out, and the Sword Sword-Washing Pool trembled slightly. A streak of azure sword energy soared into the sky, swirling and dancing. The sword energy was over sixty feet long.

Chen Nianzhi stood up, looking at the azure sword energy swirling in the sky, her eyes flickering slightly.

"After three years of honing my sword, I've finally succeeded."

Come back.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sword energy transformed into blue light and disappeared into Chen Nianzhi's body.

Chen Nianzhi closed her eyes, sensed the Blazing Fire Return-to-Ruins Sword within her body, and remained calm and composed.

For the past six years, he has frequently come to the Sword-Washing Pool for seclusion. For the first three years, he placed the Great Geng Immortal Sword in the Sword-Washing Pool and only came here occasionally.

Three years ago, after the Great Geng Immortal Sword was successfully refined, its power reached the level of a top-tier third-order immortal sword. Therefore, Chen Nianzhi placed the Li Huo Gui Blazing Fire Return-to-Ruins Sword in the pool.

His Life-Bound Immortal Sword is in the Geng-Metal Earth Vein, so he spends most of his time at the Darksteel Mountain Daoist Grounds, only returning to Spirit Isle Lake every few days.

Fortunately, Ya Ya is getting older, and the girl is very smart and sensible, so he no longer needs to go back and teach her often.

The Blazing Fire Return-to-Ruins Sword, having been infused with Higher Vehicle Western Extremity Geng Metal and refined in the Sword-Washing Pool for three years, has now greatly increased in power.

The power of Life-Bound Immortal Sword increases greatly in the hands of its master. In Chen Nianzhi's hands, the power of this sword is already close to that of Tier 3 High-grade Law Treasure.

"Some time ago, news came from Heavenly Ruins Mountain that they are preparing to take action against Heavenly Python Lake."

"Let's go back to Spirit Isle Lake first."

Chen Nianzhi's heart stirred slightly, and he flew out of the Darksteel Mountain Ore Vein with his sword.

The Darksteel Mountain Daoist Grounds is only ten thousand miles away from Spirit Isle Lake. Fortunately, the Blazing Fire Return-to-Ruins Sword is extremely fast and arrived at Spirit Isle Lake in just a few hours.

"Uncle."

Upon arriving at Spirit Isle Lake, Chen Nianzhi heard a joyful shout.

Ya Ya ran over with a joyful expression, hugged Chen Nianzhi's arm, and said, "You haven't been back for three months!"

"The sword washing is almost finished, so it took a little longer."

Chen Nianzhi smiled as she realized that Ya Ya had already reached the Qi Refinement Great Perfection.

Ya Ya started cultivating under his guidance when she was seven years old. Now, more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and she is already twenty years old. The dirty little beggar of yesteryear has now become a pretty young girl.

Although Chen Nianzhi has a sharp personality in front of outsiders, he is very gentle in Ya Ya's eyes. Ya Ya was raised by him and Xian Yan since she was a child, and she has always been very close to him.

She looked up at Chen Nianzhi, a smile in her eyes, and said, "Uncle, now that you've successfully cleansed your sword, can you spend more time with me this time you're back?"

"Silly child."

Chen Nianzhi smiled and reached out to rub her head, "I have to go out for a while, I'll bring you a Foundation-Building Pill when I get back, then you can Foundation Establishment too."

Ya Ya hesitated for Ya Ya, then smiled and said, "Okay."

After returning to the Lakeheart Island, he summoned Chen Xianyan alone and said, "I am going to Heavenly Ruins Mountain to fight against the Demon Race. You will guard Spirit Isle Lake and take good care of Ya Ya for me."

Chen Xianyan's expression was solemn as she earnestly said, "Uncle, don't worry, I will take good care of Ya Ya, and I will definitely guard Spirit Isle Lake for you."

Chen Nianzhi nodded and turned to leave.

But then his brow twitched slightly as he realized that Chen Xianyan had grabbed his sleeve at some point.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else you want to say?"

"No." Chen Xianyan quickly released his sleeve, her face somewhat flustered, and said, "This battle involves venturing deep into the Demon Race realm to confront the Demon King, which is likely extremely dangerous."

"I... The Chen Clan cannot do without you now. Please do not act impulsively, and prioritize your own safety."

"Don't worry, I understand."

Chen Nianzhi said calmly, and finally flew to Peaceful Sun City on his sword.

Watching the azure sword energy fly away, Ya Ya stood by the lake, gazing at the afterglow that disappeared into the horizon.

"Why didn't you tell him you were planning to establish your Self-Foundation Establishment?" Chen Xianyan walked over and calmly looked at Ya Ya, saying, "Is it because he's going to conquer hundreds of thousands of miles of Demon Race territory, and you don't want him to worry?"

Looking at Ya Ya, Chen Xianyan realized that without her noticing, Ya Ya had grown into a beautiful and graceful fairy.

Ya Ya's expression remained calm as she stated, "Those with Variant Spirit Root are different from ordinary cultivators; they are born with a 50% chance of establishing their Foundation Establishment."

"With the help of the Origin-Gathering Pill, my chances of breaking through are over 60%."

"A 60% chance of success, or death, is still quite dangerous." Chen Xianyan said solemnly, her eyes deep. "You can wait for the Foundation-Building Pill Foundation-Building Pill, you'll definitely be their first choice."

"Foundation-Building Pill."

Ya Ya shook her head and said calmly, "Do you remember what Uncle once told us about the High-grade Golden Core elixir?"

"Breaking through to the Golden Core realm realm without relying on any external aids." Chen Xianyan nodded, then said, "Legend has it that Primordial Spirit Dao Lord, and even most top-tier Nascent Soul True Lord, did just that."

"But this is too difficult."
