[Of course, you also thought about trying to go through the Death Desert, but the cracks in the Death Desert's formation are at the bottom of the desert. If you wanted to get close, it would be too obvious.]
[Three months later, on your way to the Flame Valley, you passed through Qingshan City and went back to the Jiang family.]
[After returning to the Jiang Mansion, you met your father Jiang Fushan. At this time, he was already gray-haired and had no cultivation.]
[You originally thought that because you had broken your father Jiang Fushan's Qi Sea many times before, he had delayed his cultivation.]
[Unexpectedly, your father actually did not practice at all and completely gave up the opportunity to cultivate immortality.]
[Thinking of this, even with your absolute rationality, you experienced some emotional fluctuations.]
[What a strong temptation it is for ordinary people to cultivate immortality and live forever.]
[At the beginning, you kept breaking your father's Qi Sea and even had the intention to kill him. Weren't you worried that he would not be able to resist the temptation of cultivating immortality and living forever and would not cooperate with you?]
[Although you were warned and failed in the end, and when you told him not to practice cultivation, you did it casually and didn't hold out much hope!]
[You didn't expect that your father, even without knowing the real reason why you didn't want him to practice cultivation, would still give up completely because of your words.]
[This made you almost want to confess the truth to him.]
[However, your absolute rationality quickly suppressed your emotions and kept you from saying much.]
[After all, you still remembered that when you wanted to attack your father, a mysterious person warned you.]
[You didn't know if that person was still monitoring everything here.]
[After all, that person's goal was to make your father practice cultivation. If you told the truth, you thought it would be too dangerous.]
[Of course, you also thought about using the evil navigation to judge the danger, but unfortunately the evil navigation talent had too obvious flaws.]
[It doesn't mean that there will be a dangerous route when you meet someone with a higher cultivation level than you, but it will only create a route when it is determined that the place is dangerous to you, or someone in that direction has long wanted to kill you.]
[So, if you did something that caused someone to suddenly want to kill you, the evil navigation cannot predict it in advance.]
[After that, you stayed at the Jiang family for a few days, and then continued heading towards the Flame Valley.]
[In the forty-fourth year, you came to the outside of the Flame Valley.]
[Before you got close, a reddish path appeared on the evil navigation talent.]
[Obviously, this meant that the Phoenix Flame Valley was dangerous for you.]
[But the reddish color was all the same shade, which made you feel relieved.]
[This should mean that the fierce beast Yaofeng here would not attack you.]
[Based on your years of experience in studying the evil navigation, if the fierce beast Yaofeng were to attack you, there should be a brighter red path, proving that the danger would be greatest.]
[In this case, you did not hesitate and stepped directly into the Flame Valley.]
[As soon as you entered the Flame Valley, the scorching Phoenix flames instantly turned your clothes to ashes.]
[Soon, your body began to crack due to the burning of the flames.]
[Fortunately, you had the Yimu Divine Body. While the Phoenix Flame was burning, it was also constantly repairing your body.]
[So, you quickly practiced the martial arts techniques in the Victory Secret, and your martial arts skills rapidly improved.]
[In the forty-sixth year, your martial arts skills had improved to the fourth level of the Golden Body Realm.]
[This improvement speed was several times faster than your step-by-step practice.]
[In the blink of an eye, several years passed.]
[In the fifty-third year, your martial arts skills had improved to the seventh level of the Golden Body Realm.]
[This year, you saw a thunderbolt coming from the sky, but because you had the jade talisman token of the Xianlin Gate, it did not strike you.]
[In the fifty-ninth year, your martial arts skills had improved to the perfection of the Golden Body Realm.]
[At this time, you had cultivated both the martial arts and immortal ways to perfection, and it was time to improve your realm.]
[After hesitating for a moment, you still chose to leave the Flame Valley.]
[In fact, in these years, you had also tried to go deep into the Flame Valley and approach the gap in the formation, trying to see if you could take the opportunity to leave the South Region.]
[But you had failed. The Phoenix flames deep in the Flame Valley were simply not something you could bear.]
[In the sixtieth year, you found a hidden location and began to break through.]
[This breakthrough took you more than half a year.]
[Your martial arts reached the immovable realm, and your immortal way reached the fusion realm.]
[At this time, you were already a true master.]
[If there was any difference in this breakthrough, it was that your Nascent Soul was more agile.]
[You didn't care about this, after all, you had long been accustomed to it.]
[After your breakthrough, you went back to the Xianlin Gate.]
[You had been out for a long time now, and you thought you should show up occasionally in Xianlinmen, especially to build a good relationship with Qiu Zhixuan, so as to improve Qiu Kuang's favor.]
[After all, if you wanted to ascend to the position of elder in the future, you would have to rely on Qiu Kuang's relationship.]
[Although there were precedents of people who wanted to compete for the position of elder in the Mahayana period in Xianlinmen, there were indeed not many. Without some connections, you thought it was still not safe!]
[In the days that followed, you began to practice in Xianlinmen.]
[Except for occasionally building a relationship with Qiu Zhixuan, you basically never left the house.]
[In the blink of an eye, decades passed.]
[In the seventy-ninth year, your immortal cultivation broke through to the third level of fusion.]
[It took you nineteen years to improve two small realms.]
[Obviously, as your cultivation increased, your cultivation speed slowed down again.]
[In the eighty-first year, your late bloomer talent took effect, and your cultivation speed was doubled.]
[With the blessing of the late bloomer talent, your cultivation speed finally accelerated a lot.]
[In the eighty-fourth year, your immortal cultivation broke through to the fourth level of the fusion stage.]
[In the eighty-ninth year, your immortal cultivation broke through to the fifth level of the fusion stage.]
[In the ninety-third year, your late bloomer talent was strengthened again, and your cultivation speed increased again.]
[At this time, you were already 110 years old, but your cultivation speed was getting faster and faster. Even though you were already in the fusion stage, you only needed two years to break through a small realm.]
[In the ninety-fifth year, your immortal cultivation reached the perfection of the fusion stage.]
[Such rapid improvement made you sigh that the late bloomer talent was really strong.]
[And now this was just the beginning. If it really increased to 10 times the full value, then the cultivation speed, you dared not imagine.]
[After your immortal cultivation reached perfection, you left the Xianlin Gate again, went to the Flame Valley, and began to practice martial arts.]
[The improvement of martial arts was much more difficult than the immortal way.]
[Even if you now had the double blessing of late bloomer and the assistance of Phoenix Flame, you still couldn't match the speed of improvement of the immortal way.]
[According to your estimation, it would take about ten years for your martial arts to improve a small realm.]
[You thought this might be related to your lack of particularly good martial arts talent. Although your Yimu Divine Body could assist in martial arts training, it was not a physique specifically designed for martial arts improvement after all.]
[In the hundredth year, the effect of your late bloomer talent was strengthened again, and you could already have a three-fold training speed.]
[This accelerated your martial arts training a lot.]
[In the 102nd year, your martial arts successfully broke through to the second level of the immovable realm.]
[In the 109th year, you successfully broke through to the third level of the immovable realm.]
[In the 110th year, you looked up at the sky, and the giant hand covering the sky did not appear.]
