It’s only natural to respect him as a senior.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Xu nodded when he heard this but a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Sima Ling, you are a genius but it’s folly to compare yourself to Ayuan. Monsters like Ayuan exist to discourage ordinary geniuses.’ He thought, failing to note that he was also such a monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can I see your map?\" Zhen Yuan asked and Sima Ling nodded before handing over a jade slab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The improved heavenly inferno formation drew fire from four stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the formation was inferior to Zhen Yuan’s, it was still a marked improvement especially since Sima Ling only had ten years to improve it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad.\" Zhen Yuan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, master Zhen.\" Sima Ling said and Zhen Yuan nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Zhen Yuan removed a jade square from his storage ring and gave it to Sima Ling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This square has array inheritance from level one to level nine.\" The man said and quickly continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, subsequent levels can only be unlocked after learning the previous level. Study it well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sima Ling was shocked when he heard this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t expect that the promised reward was a complete level one to level nine formations inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This...\" His stuttered with a confused expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is too precious.\" He said and tried to return the jade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was greedy for the inheritance, he knew what he could and what he couldn’t accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, such a complete inheritance would cement his family’s standing in the Tianxuan continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, accepting it would result in a heavy cause and effect which wouldn’t be good for his family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daoist Sima, this formations inheritance is not my family’s legacy.\" Zhen Yuan started and quickly continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I found it while exploring a dangerous place and since I don’t need it, I decided to give it to a capable formations master. We can cancel this cause and effect with spirit stones.\" He said and Sima Ling nodded with a relieved expression but he was secretly shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t had time to carefully check the inheritance but he had casually perused the unlocked section and realised that it was countless times better than his family’s legacy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Zhen Yuan found such an inheritance and disliked it because it was worse than his family’s legacy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What kind of family do they come from?’ Sima Ling wondered but didn’t ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he looked at the two and spoke with an uncertain expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How many spirit stones can offset this cause and effect?\" He asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go back and discuss with your family. You can give us the spirit stones when we exit the thunder secret realm.\" Zhen Yuan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How long will you stay here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Three hundred years.\" Shen Xu answered and Sima Ling nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After chatting for awhile, the man left and the two resumed their busy life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As usual, they refined their body during the day and entered the space at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this time, they not only spared time to soak in blood baths while absorbing body refining pills and monster blood wine but also cultivated their qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, after three hundred years of hard work, Shen Xu’s body cultivation broke through to half a step to level nine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, his qi cultivation exceeded the great perfection of the fusion realm peak-stage, and was only slightly short of half a step to the Mahayana realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Shen Xu, Zhen Yuan’s body cultivation broke through to half a step to level nine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, his qi cultivation advanced to the peak stage of the Mahayana realm, but he was still a long way from the tribulation transcending realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our time will run out in two days.\" Shen Xu said as he and Zhen Yuan drank tea in their portable cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have achieved everything that we set out to. It’s time to leave.\" Zhen Yuan said and the double nodded but suddenly frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ayuan, I think we should continue cultivating our bodies until we advance to half step level ten. What do you think?\" He asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I agree.\" Zhen Yuan immediately nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t need to cross tribulations so he could afford to delay body refining but Shen Xu was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the resources they had, they could advance to the peak-stage of the tribulation transcending realm in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if Shen Xu’s body cultivation didn’t match up, he would suffer during the lightning tribulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, cultivating their bodies now would free more time to prepare for the Xuanwu secret realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, after exiting the secret realm, they would cross the ascension tribulation and directly ascend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The only problem is that the cursed valley is outside the sect.\" The double said but Zhen Yuan smiled before speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I checked.\" He said and quickly continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The sect has a teleportation array leading to a small town near the cursed valley. We can use it to avoid trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Xu was pleasantly surprised when he heard this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, he and Zhen Yuan weren’t afraid of trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they didn’t want to waste time dealing with irrelevant people, at least not for the time being.\u003C\u002Fp>",1039,"2026-06-06T02:30:15.893Z",1,"novelbin.me","c6cca01beda1ed3a3eed71bf4286701bd35e616e8b20b58d93cbfc228a0091cf","falling-in-love-to-escape-the-original-book-plot-chapter-443","falling-in-love-to-escape-the-original-book-plot-chapter-441",498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffalling-in-love-to-escape-the-original-book-plot-cover.jpg"]
