Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

For other cultivators, a month of seclusion may not mean much, but for Shen Yuan, it was the longest retreat he had taken since embarking on the path of cultivation.

A month ago, Shen Yuan refined the Divine Capacity Seed of the Nine Breaths Great Magic Power, successfully incorporating that profound strand of Pure Spirit Qi into his breathing cycle, thus becoming the true master of the Heavenly General Great Divine Power.

But for understanding the Nine Breaths Great Magic Power, refining the Divine Capacity Seed is only the beginning.

The Nine Breath Magic Power is not as obscure and difficult to comprehend as the Rain Calling Divine Ability, which is a Heavenly General Great Divine Power that couldn’t be grasped at all.

Shen Yuan has not fully refined and stepped into the first realm of the Rain Calling Divine Ability, and the Tianhe Backflow Method he applied is just the basic surface level.

Shen Yuan estimated that to truly master the Rain Calling Divine Ability, one must at least reach the Tao Harmony Stage, comprehending the Heaven and Earth Dao to have a chance of stepping into the first realm.

Compared to the Rain Calling Divine Ability, the Nine Breath Magic Power is much more straightforward. After all, the path of Refinement has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and it is also the cornerstone of the Four Steps of Immortality Ascension, Shen Yuan could not possibly be ignorant of it.

When contemplating the Nine Breaths Great Magic Power, Shen Yuan easily understood the basic content, but still could not make a breakthrough.

The reason is that the path of Refinement is simply too vast.

As one of the very first cultivation methods of the Heaven and Earth Dao, the path of Refinement encompasses all. Today, all evolutions can find their true explanation within the path of Refinement.

And the Nine Breaths Great Magic Power, as the original method of the path of Refinement, though it is easy to learn but hard to master, presents many concepts that surpass Shen Yuan’s current level.

Even if the light of enlightenment from the Sainthood Attainment Enlightenment Array Formation is constantly descending upon Shen Yuan, allowing him to briefly enter a state of enlightenment and accelerate his understanding of the Heavenly General Great Divine Power.

Yet, during this month of seclusion, Shen Yuan could only get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of the path of Refinement despite giving his all.

Shen Yuan’s current level of the Nine Breaths Great Magic Power is still far from entering the first realm.

However, even so, the insight gained from the Nine Breaths Great Magic Power has successfully allowed Shen Yuan to effortlessly elevate his early stage Qi cultivation to the later stage of Qi cultivation, and this has all been done without any actual cultivation process.

If he had deliberately cultivated, he could have already reached the Peak of Qi Refining.

Shen Yuan’s understanding of the path of Refinement exceeds any conventional Qi cultivator, and even the True Monarchs of the Primal Chaos Realm may not compare to Shen Yuan.

The Pure Spirit Qi that was projected at the end of his contemplation is, in essence, the manifestation of the path of Refinement, it is the gift of the Nine Breaths Great Magic Power to this Courtyard Secret Realm.

This gift is not limited to living beings only. Even the Starry Sky Bodhi manifested by the Sainthood Attainment Enlightenment Array Formation has benefited. Under the Nine Breaths Great Magic Power, the Array Formation is no different from a tree or vine, they all evolve based on the foundation of Heaven and Earth’s Primordial Elemental Qi.

Gong Buyu watched as Shen Yuan stepped out of the cultivation room. In her eyes, Shen Yuan appeared unchanged physically.

But there was an added quality to Shen Yuan, as if he was in harmony with Heaven and Earth.

He just stood there, seemingly merging with all beings of Heaven and Earth, everything in existence.

For a moment, Gong Buyu seemed to see countless threads of cause and effect interweaving around Shen Yuan. He appeared to be orchestrating the evolution of all things in the universe, becoming the source of all existence, the Primordial Elemental Qi that existed before Heaven and Earth.

Gong Buyu was suddenly startled; her drifting thoughts halted abruptly.

As she set her gaze on Shen Yuan again, he seemed fused with the world even as she felt no more absurd illusion.

Suppressing the distractions in her mind, Gong Buyu bowed to Shen Yuan, saying:

“Greetings, Master!”

As Shen Yuan nodded his acknowledgment without verbal response, he suddenly noticed a black shadow crawl from his pants, climb up to his shoulder, hug his neck with small paws clad in white gloves, and purr continuously.

Looking at the little black cat on his shoulder, Bai Xue’s adorable face showed human-like grievances.

Her face rubbed against Shen Yuan’s cheek, as if to complain about Shen Yuan’s mysterious absence these past days, expressing her concern for him.

Shen Yuan gave a wry smile, gently patting Bai Xue’s head and whispered:

“It’s alright, see? I’ve come out of my retreat now.”

Although Shen Yuan had gone into seclusion before, it never lasted more than a few days, as he would regularly emerge to prepare meals for Bai Xue.

Upon careful consideration, this was the first time Shen Yuan had been away from Bai Xue for such a long time since he brought her home, hence it was no wonder the little creature looked so pitiful.

After comforting Bai Xue for a bit, Shen Yuan looked at Gong Buyu’s attire, his Divine Sense immediately sweeping across the entire Courtyard Secret Realm.

Based on the changes in the Courtyard Secret Realm during the past month, Shen Yuan had a rough idea of how Gong Buyu had been caring for Bai Xue throughout this time, and softly praised:

“You’ve done well.”

“Taking care of Senior Sister is my duty, and besides, Senior Sister has helped me a lot during these days.”

Gong Buyu’s cold face showed a serious expression.

Upon hearing her words, Shen Yuan glanced at the slightly guilty little cat and immediately understood how Bai Xue had been exploiting her status as ‘Senior Sister’ to mooch off meals and drinks during this time.
