In the instant Chen Yuan opened his eyes, light shot straight to the heavens, and an even more terrifying aura than before swept across the land, distorting the surrounding void.

At this moment, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy within the Spirit Domain had been completely exhausted. The Heaven and Earth Rules, dense enough to manifest, had now been mostly consumed, and what remained had no effect on him anymore.

His body roared, and light continuously circulated. After nurturing, it had raised his physical body to a terrifying level, faintly as if truly achieving a world of its own.

There was a booming sound!

And his Primordial Spirit, now also with restrained brilliance and condensed rules, had reached the peak level of a Human Immortal. In fact, he was no longer at an ordinary Human Immortal peak.

It was as if, similar to Moluo back then, he was just one opportunity away from transforming the Five Elements and breaking through to the Earth Immortal Realm.

Already at the limit of the Human Immortal level!

It was precisely because of this that he awakened from seclusion; otherwise, in a place where Dao Rhythm of rules still lingered, he would have continued to be engrossed in comprehension, forgetting everything else.

The light on his body began to gradually converge. Chen Yuan took a deep breath, sensing the surging power from within his body. It seemed ordinary now, but when he takes action,

it would unleash truly astounding power.

"Earth Immortal..."

Chen Yuan murmured to himself, lost in thought.

At this moment, he could already feel the situation Moluo had described before, perceiving that there was only a thin membrane between himself and the Earth Immortal Realm, which could be broken with a gentle touch.

To become a great power.

Yet, it was precisely that barrier that now became an insurmountable chasm. He had tried to transform the Five Elements with his god, but failed, being unable to proceed further.

"Do I still need a stroke of Qi Fortune?"

Chen Yuan furrowed his brows deeply.

It’s not that he has any objection to opportunities guided by Qi Fortune. It’s with these things that he’s been able to get to where he is today, and he’s not someone who takes advantage and then complains.

However, he felt that needing the guidance of Qi Fortune for a breakthrough seemed a bit extravagant, as he had some confidence in achieving a breakthrough on his own.

Moreover, even if there is a guiding opportunity, it still requires his own comprehension. Opportunities serve merely as a support. Can’t he rely on himself?

It should be known that his talent, even in the Human World, is extremely rare, not inferior to that of Jiang He.

Furthermore, Chen Yuan wants to break through to Earth Immortal to truly achieve an invincible momentum, to quickly annihilate the Southern Border demon tribe, and then prepare for battle in the Immortal Domain at the strongest state.

After pondering for a long time, Chen Yuan temporarily suppressed this thought. If there’s another trigger, he won’t hesitate to try. If not, he can only place his hopes for a breakthrough on Mo Ying.

Next, Chen Yuan took out the Exotic Treasure Heavenly Book and began to contact the few Daoists at the Taoist Divine Palace, because when he was in seclusion, he was wholly immersed, not knowing if the outside world passed in an instant or a month.

....

After putting down the Heavenly Book, Chen Yuan realized that the seclusion had taken him about half a year, arguably the longest time he spent in seclusion since stepping into Martial Arts.

However, fortunately, during the six months he was in seclusion, the world remained mostly peaceful. His plan succeeded because after news of the great victory over the Northern Barbarians spread.

The Southern Border demon tribe indeed dared not make any rash moves, but Chu Changfeng still informed him that possibly due to his prolonged seclusion, the Southern Border demon tribe had been constantly probing recently.

Although there were no large-scale confrontations, there were continuous covert clashes. South of Zhen Nan Pass, within a thousand miles, was a battlefield for the contenders between the Human and demon tribes.

The Human tribe probed the demon tribe’s intelligence, and the demon tribe also probed the Human tribe’s intelligence. The demon tribe’s biggest concern was the whereabouts of him, the Regent King.

Why hadn’t he shown up for such a long time, which didn’t quite align with his character.

As for other aspects, they were flourishing.

The Northern Barbarians’ Royal Court was exterminated, this centuries-long hidden peril of the Central Plains was resolved by him, bringing his reputation to its peak, and more and more petitions asked for the Regent King to be crowned emperor on the Court.

Duke Anle even sent a petition daily, never slacking.

In Jianghu, among the folk, similar sentiments were widespread. It could be said that millions of Central Plains people implore him to become emperor, to bring true peace and prosperity to the Central Plains.

"Time to return...."

Chen Yuan stood up, a determined look flashing in his eyes. Having delayed for so long, the demon tribe should meet its demise, and he should step into Earth Immortal and then become emperor. The plan... is being implemented step by step.

As for the demon tribe’s movements, Chen Yuan only wanted to say that with him possessing peak Earth Immortal strength and after Moluo’s breakthrough, their last hope was gone.

Now, they are merely in their death throes.

...

Within Liangzhou City, Beiliang Royal Mansion.

King of Beiliang, Wei Wuque, wearing a dragon robe, with beard beneath his chin, by now, he had somewhat acquired the demeanor of Wei Jinfeng back then, shrouded in an invisible aura of authority.

That’s not power, but derived from authority.

Chen Yuan kept his promise, allowing him to rule Liangzhou, and beyond that, to make decisions on major grassland events, which meant he truly held high authority, overlooking the North, even his father back then did not wield such power.

Of course, Wei Wuque was not blinded by this. On the contrary, having experienced countless events, his mind was exceptionally clear, knowing from whom his power came.
