Chapter 568: Breaking Through the Tenth Realm

Afterwards, Yun Shuoyue would come to find Lu Xun every so often.

When together, they did not do anything intimate.

Yun Shuoyue herself originally came from ancient times.

No matter how long a person lives, how many years or eras they experience, the experiences and ideas formed in the first twenty years of life will play a decisive role in the thousands or even tens of thousands of years to come.

That's why they say,

Some people are healed by their childhood their whole life;

while others spend their whole life healing their childhood.

That's exactly why.

Although they had been intimate once, Yun Shuoyue and Lu Xun's interaction still observed propriety.

She was like a noble lady from ancient times.

Moreover, she was an accomplished noble lady skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

In their exchanges, Lu Xun gained a deeper understanding of Yun Shuoyue for the first time.

It must be said,

If placed in ancient times, Yun Shuoyue would practically be the perfect wife choice.

Not only was she stunningly beautiful, she was also well-educated, reasonable, empathetic, and multi-talented.

Her talent was naturally not lacking.

The reason it took her several thousand years to reach the Nine Realms is because she cultivated on the Star Sky Ancient Road.

Don't be fooled by the abundant Dark Energy at the Ancient Road nodes; in fact, cultivation efficiency there is far lower than on Lan Xing.

Moreover, without the Rainbow Bridge provided by Lan Xing, their exploration of the Ancient Road nodes wastes too much time.

Just searching for resources consumes a lot of time—how could it be as convenient as a Rainbow Bridge?

Not to mention the Heavenly Tribulation one faces after the Five Realms.

At the Ancient Road nodes, that tribulation is not a test—it truly tries to beat a person to death.

In their frequent interactions, their relationship gradually grew closer.

Unlike before, when they had only been physically intimate.

Now, they also begin to draw close on a spiritual level.

The more they interact, the more Lu Xun admires Yun Shuoyue.

Yun Shuoyue is no different.

"Lu Xun, thank you these past days. This fan I made myself—please accept it."

Over a month later, Yun Shuoyue suddenly gave Lu Xun a fan.

Lu Xun blinked slightly, took it with both hands, and slowly unfolded the fan.

The fan's frame was white jade, its surface plain silk, with a finely embroidered figure—none other than Lu Xun himself.

The stitching was tight and neat, the form and spirit lifelike, like a moonlit shadow or a trace of falling snow.

"Thank you."

Lu Xun felt Yun Shuoyue's intentions.

"As long as you like it."

Seeing Lu Xun like it, Yun Shuoyue secretly let out a sigh of relief.

She was about to undergo the tribulation.

Yet she said nothing more, and nothing else happened between her and Lu Xun.

Sending that fan was enough to show her feelings.

And for her, that seemed sufficient.

Seeing Yun Shuoyue like that, Lu Xun naturally did not press further.

"If she succeeds, she should be able to break through to the Tenth Realm, and the returned cultivation would be enough for me to break through to the Tenth Realm."

Lu Xun couldn't help but feel some anticipation.

His magical cultivation had already broken through the Tenth Realm.

His other realms had not yet been reached.

Even if his combat power matched, his cultivation realm had not yet arrived.

If Yun Shuoyue breaks through to the Tenth Realm, a hundredfold return would be enough for Lu Xun to break through to the Tenth Realm, and possibly even the Eleventh Realm.

Well, Lu Xun's return multiplier had already reached a hundredfold.

His eleventh bound target was Yin Ling.

That is, an ancient remnant thought found in the Spirit Realm where the Ancient God once resided.

She was a silver‑haired woman whose strength was at the Tenth Realm, but only a remnant soul remained.

When Lu Xun initially suffered the will‑seizure of the Chi Sha Yao Yi, she also intervened, helping him resolve the will of the Chi Sha Yao Huang.

Lu Xun had once helped her recover using a Soul Sarira.

After Lu Xun became able to refine Immortal‑grade pills, he also refined some Immortal‑grade pills to aid her.

These years, she has remained in the Inner Space.

After so many years, she has mostly recovered.

Her favorability toward Lu Xun had also long reached 100%, so Lu Xun proceeded to bind her.

After the binding, Lu Xun helped her rebuild her body; her strength recovered extremely quickly, and she is already close to returning to the Tenth Realm.

What's more, her strength during the recovery process can also provide a return, further increasing Lu Xun's cultivation.

What Lu Xun actually looks forward to most is her breakthrough to the Eleventh Realm.

Yin Ling was once the lord of an extremely prosperous civilization, and originally could have broken through the Eleventh Realm.

As a result, the two fleets fought a great battle in the starry sky over the opportunity.

Who would have thought that the so-called opportunity was actually an Ancient God.

Then both sides were wiped out.

Lu Xun didn't have to wait long.

Just a few months after Yun Shuyue left, Yun Shuyue broke through to the Tenth Realm.

On the day of the breakthrough, the entire Lan Xing seemed to be activated.

Vast rosy light appeared without warning, covering the skies of all nations, magnificent beyond words.

Immediately thereafter, various auspicious signs appeared one after another; strange light flowed through the clouds, and the air was filled with uplifting energy.

The planet's entire ecological environment seemed to become more vibrant due to the birth of this power.

The reason for such a vast phenomenon is not solely because Yun Shuyue broke through to the Tenth Realm.

After Lu Xun received the return, his Immortal Dao cultivation successfully broke through to the Tenth Realm.

The reason only a hundredfold breakthrough reached the Tenth Realm is mainly because between the Nine Realms and the Tenth Realm there is also the Heavenly Man Five Declines.

But when the returning heat flow arrived, it actually directly helped Lu Xun pass through the Heavenly Man Five Declines.

Equivalent to, Lu Xun in one go passed the calamity. This consumed too much heat flow, so the hundredfold return from Yun Shuyue's breakthrough to the Tenth Realm also only allowed Lu Xun to break through to the Tenth Realm.
