"Hold onto the mind and return to the source."

The voice of his master echoed in Wu Tian's mind. Despite his impending loss of consciousness, Wu Tian immediately suppressed the urge to faint and held onto his mind. A powerful and gentle mind entered his body, and in its presence, Wu Tian felt as though he had no secrets or resistance left. This mind forcefully severed Wu Tian's connection with the Hundred Demons Sword. Finally free, Wu Tian was so weakened that he couldn't even speak and fell into a coma.

He didn't know how long it had been until he woke up feeling comfortable all over his body. However, a feeling of exhaustion quickly followed, and Wu Tian struggled to sit up, realizing he was still in the same place and that he was okay.

"Awake? How was it to have your mind devoured by the Heart Sword? You must never use the Hundred Demons Sword unless absolutely necessary. You understand now, don't you?"

Master Nan Hua knew that with Wu Tian's personality, he had to experience things firsthand to learn from them.

"Master, you didn't have to teach me that way. From now on, I will never use the Hundred Demons Sword unless I have no other choice." Wu Tian really remembered this time. The feeling of having his mind extracted was terrifying. He immediately decided that he would never use the Hundred Demons Sword again unless it was a matter of life and death. He would take it slow and steady.

"Good. If you had heard me from the start, that would have been strange. You can practice using the Heart Sword on your own by referring to the jade slip. Now, stabilize your own realm, and slowly experience it from the Foundation Building stage. You have reached the peak of the Middle Stage of the Qi Refining Realm, and you can only comprehend the current realm through constant practice. Do you understand? Once you've stabilized your realm, we can set off. I need to go back to the sect to prepare for the Tribulation. "Lately, Master Nan Hua felt that his Tribulation was approaching, which prompted Wu Tian to cultivate.

Wu Tian knew that there were no legal constraints in the world of cultivation, and whoever had the biggest fists would rule. He immediately focused on his own cultivation path, stabilizing his mind and true essence, and his breathing gradually became steady. Inside his body, Wu Tian saw the cosmic disk in his dantian slowly rotating, and the Hundred Demons Sword also followed suit.

After thinking about the foundation-building technique, I silently operated my true essence and sent it swiftly to the meridian pointed out by Wu Tian's spiritual consciousness. In fact, Wu Tian had already modified his meridians through the Water Spirit, otherwise he would have suffered some hardships when he first activated his true essence to cleanse his meridians.

A comfortable feeling spread through Wu Tian's meridians as he continued to circulate his true essence to the next meridian. He gradually became absorbed in his cultivation, unaware of the passage of time. Now he had already reached the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm and according to conventional practice, he should have stopped to consolidate his gains. However, he still felt that he had some extra strength left, and his master's manual said that one couldn't advance without some reserve strength. Therefore, Wu Tian continued to cultivate at the later stage of the Foundation Establishment realm.

After a week of cultivation, he still had ample true essence and felt that he had not reached his limit. Wu Tian considered whether to push on to the Fusion realm. However, thinking too much was tiring, so he decided to continue pushing forward.

Gradually, Wu Tian felt that the white light spots in his dantian were rotating faster and required more true essence. He felt a little inadequate, but he saw that the white light spots were beginning to take on an egg-like shape. This confused him, and his true essence was starting to liquefy, becoming too thick to continue rotating the light spots into an egg. He had to give up and consolidate his current state. To his surprise, he had already reached the peak of the later stage of the Fusion realm and was ready to break through to the Golden Core realm. Was the white light spot he saw earlier the legendary Golden Core?

He was shocked at how quickly he had progressed, and wondered why it didn't seem difficult at all. If he had enough true essence, he felt he could continue to advance. If his master, Nan Hua, knew about his current thoughts, he would probably want to have a talk with him.

Cultivation required a stable mind and stable state of being, and Wu Tian was able to cultivate to the peak of the Fusion realm without any apparent obstacles, thanks to the Water Spirit. When he opened his eyes, he saw the sea floor in front of him clearly, unlike before when he could only see the surroundings through his master's light. This breakthrough was significant.

Wu Tian stood up and felt the explosive power in his bones, like he had just finished a fierce fight. He wanted to roar to the sky, but realized he was still in the underwater cave and abandoned the idea. When he turned back, he saw Nan Hua staring at him with golden eyes. Wu Tian felt like a small rabbit being stalked by a cheetah and was frozen with fear. He realized how powerful his master was.

"Huh? Didn't I tell you to consolidate your realm? How did you improve so much? You're already at the pinnacle of the Fusion Later Stage? You can enter the Foundation Establishment Early Stage at any time? Even though you have treasures like the Water Spirit, you shouldn't improve your realm like this. It's harmful with no benefits."

"Master, I know I was wrong. I don't know how it happened...I hope you don't blame me," Wu Tian said somewhat embarrassedly to Nan Hua Zhenren.

"Forget it, just be more careful in the future." "He's really a monster. He went from the Qi Refinement Middle Stage to the Fusion Later Stage in just three years. It took me nearly 20 years back then. He's really a monster. He went from an ordinary person to a Fusion Stage expert in just six years. A monster... a monster," Nan Hua Zhenren muttered quietly.

Now that Wu Tian's realm was also at the Fusion Later Stage, he was considered a young expert. So Nan Hua Zhenren's muttering did not escape his ears. Hearing his master say another three years, Wu Tian suddenly realized that he had been in this underwater world for six years. Indeed, time had no meaning in cultivating. A single meditation could be a hundred years.

Six years had passed. Six years ago, he risked his life for a living. Now, he no longer had to worry about his livelihood. A fantastic life awaited him. Even if he died, he would have no regrets.

"Disciple, we've been here for so long, and your realm is almost there. Let's go! Master will take you back to the sect. Hehe, when those old guys know that I've taken on an apprentice, I wonder what they'll think. This mission is finally complete. Actually, in the Tian Yan Sect, Nan Hua Zhenren is the only one at the Tribulation Crossing Stage who doesn't have any disciples. The other elders have urged him countless times, but he always says he has no time and rarely goes to look for disciples, so they've been pushing and pushing until now."

Thinking about leaving Earth, Wu Tian felt a bit sad. He was a human being, and this was his mother planet. Would he have a chance to come back in the future? Although Wu Tian said he would come back secretly, he knew that the chance of coming back was very small. He was about to leave, and he wanted to go back and see his brother, Lao Zhu, and his small house, which he didn't know if it was still there. He wanted to see this planet again.
