One morning in May of Great Han Year 822, Liu Changxu finally emerged from his Seclusion Chamber, having fully consolidated his cultivation at the mid-Mahayana stage.
By then, Liu Changxu had not only gained an initial command of the divine abilities and spell arts of the mid-Mahayana stage, but his Thirty-Six Red Lotus Immortal Swords, Ruyi Void-Mystic Mirror, Wishful Soul-Destroying Lamp, Heaven-Flipping Sea-Splitting Halberd, Red Lotus World-Destroying Seal, Azure Lotus Creation Disc, Great Sun Violet Gold Cauldron, Ruyi Yellow-Black Tower, and Ruyi Golden Armor had all advanced to the mid-ninth tier, greatly increasing their power.

Of course, having only just advanced to the mid-Mahayana stage, Liu Changxu had no time to consider such matters yet.
In particular, reaching the Mahayana Realm had granted him a long
