He prepared to undertake a period of closed-door cultivation.
There are only five years left until the Kunlun Demon Realm opens.
He plans to make the most of these final five years, pushing his nascent soul height towards truly reaching the nine-inch realm!
Although his previous height of eight inches nine already matched the nine inches Great True Monarch, it was ultimately not the genuine nine inches Great True Monarch.
For Qi Chuan, only when truly reaching the nine inches Great True Monarch realm can he be fearless below Divinity Transformation, no matter who he faces, even if it’s the most seasoned and terrifyingly powerful Great True Monarch who’s reached the pinnacle.
This includes facing any Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Beast and Tier Four Upper Grade Demon, it remains the same.
This truly reaches an invincible level.
As such, Qi Chuan is exceedingly anticipating this nine-inch realm.
Accompanying Qi Chuan’s diligent cultivation, during these five years, he never ventured outside, and his presence was absent in the outside world.
However, as year after year passed, the situation in the outside world intensified more and more, eventually reaching a boiling point among the nascent soul levels.
The Kunlun Demon Realm is about to open! A stone creates a thousand waves!
This news initially circulated only among the Great True Monarchs, but eventually spread to the early and middle stage nascent soul cultivators.
These nascent soul cultivators all have their own influences, which resulted in both the Celestial North Domain’s nineteen states and the vast Chaotic Demon Sea’s entire region being affected by this news.
And these nascent soul level influences are actually the controllers of the world’s power, and their changes naturally also cause vibrations among the foundation establishment influences and core formation influences below them.
For a time, one could say the world was greatly shaken, with clouds moving in all directions.
However, those most focused and anticipatory of this matter are undoubtedly the top figures at the Great True Monarch level.
This is because within the Kunlun Demon Realm, there is the production of Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Pearls, and when these pearls are transformed into spirit pearls, their effect in enhancing the Great True Monarchs’ cultivation exceeds even Tier Four Upper Grade Elixirs, hence making them all scramble for them.
And as the five-year period approaches, the attention of these Great True Monarchs begins to focus entirely on the northern sea region of the Chaotic Demon Sea.
Coincidentally, this happens to be the area where Qi Chuan slew the Storm Spirit Bear and Great True Monarch Qinghe.
This time, the likelihood is high that the Kunlun Demon Realm will open in this very region.
In secret, many Great True Monarchs are beginning to prepare items for entering the Kunlun Demon Realm, particularly those with significant lethality against demons. Although the Tier Four Upper Grade Demons within the Kunlun Demon Realm possess strong power, the Cultivation Realm has items that counter them, although these counter-items are exceedingly rare and precious.
While these Great True Monarchs begin their preparations, Qi Chuan naturally is also striving for entry into the Kunlun Demon Realm.
Only, with the Taiyi Demon-Vanquishing Divine Thunder in possession, he need not prepare overly much else; the main focus remains on enhancing his cultivation.
Under his efforts, five years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the storms from the external world had no impact on him.
This day, within the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, in the secluded stone chamber of Qi Chuan’s Tier Four Cave Mansion.
On the bed, Qi Chuan sat cross-legged, his eyelids twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes. In the depths of his pupils, there was an exceedingly restrained spiritual light gently receding.
At this moment, although there was no aura emanating from within Qi Chuan, the sensation given off was undoubtedly much stronger compared to before.
Simultaneously, Qi Chuan also saw a line of text appearing in his vision.
[You operate the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique, absorbing spiritual qi, refining medicinal power, triggering thirteen times critical strike, obtaining thirteen times gain, your nascent soul foundation received a slight enhancement, your nascent soul height gained a slight increase.]
Looking at the appearance of this line of text, Qi Chuan smiled faintly, and then introspected his dantian.
Within the dantian, the small-faced nascent soul was tranquilly seated with legs crossed. The nascent soul opened its eyes and slowly stood up; its height had impressively reached the nine-inch realm!
Furthermore, beyond the nine inches, it had already surpassed by a little, yet it hadn’t reached the nine inches one realm just yet.
In fact, half a year ago, Qi Chuan had already reached the nine inches Great True Monarch realm, but with some time left before the Kunlun Demon Realm opened, he didn’t waste it, thus he continued cultivation to enhance his cultivation.
"Finally, I’m a nine inches Great True Monarch. With such cultivation combined with various powerful techniques, I anticipate entering that Kunlun Demon Realm without any concerns?"
A faint smile emerged on Qi Chuan’s face, and he thought to himself.
Nine inches Great True Monarch...
In the world, how many can attain such a level?
"Half a month later, on the day the Kunlun Demon Realm is set to open, now I must start doing some preparations..."
Qi Chuan mused in his heart.
He immediately rose and stepped towards the outside of the cave mansion to find Senior Brother Qingyun for a conversation and to make some future arrangements.
Before long, in the Myriad Flowers Hall, Qi Chuan and Qingyun True Monarch met once again, each taking a seat.
"Junior Brother Qi Chuan, you’ve finally emerged from seclusion."
Qingyun True Monarch looked at Qi Chuan with a slight smile, surmising, "Your emergence this time must be related to the Kunlun Demon Realm, right?"
Regarding the Kunlun Demon Realm matter, Qingyun True Monarch had already been informed by Qi Chuan long ago, aware of Qi Chuan’s intention to compete for opportunities within the Kunlun Demon Realm.
Therefore, it wasn’t hard to speculate about the matter Qi Chuan sought to discuss now that he was emerging from seclusion.
"Indeed."
Upon hearing Qingyun True Monarch’s words, Qi Chuan nodded, saying, "In half a month, I aim to enter the Kunlun Demon Realm."
"As I enter the Kunlun Demon Realm, it remains uncertain how long I’ll stay."
"For this reason, I suggest that starting from today, the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect should recall its disciples, retract its influence, fortify the sect, and await my return to restore normalcy."
"I must trouble Senior Brother Qingyun with all this."
"Alright."
Upon hearing Qi Chuan’s words, Qingyun True Monarch nodded in agreement, with no objection.
He was well aware that the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect’s grandeur owed entirely to Qi Chuan’s presence.
Once Qi Chuan was gone, the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect would simply return to being a typical nascent soul influence, without any standout attribute.
Thus, during the period Qi Chuan would be in the Kunlun Demon Realm, the best arrangement for the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect is to retract its influence and prioritize defense.
Once Qi Chuan returns, everything can naturally revert to normal.
As for if Qi Chuan fails to return... This is an issue Qingyun True Monarch prefers not to dwell on, confident such a possibility wouldn’t arise.
Subsequently, Qi Chuan and Qingyun True Monarch discussed in detail the upcoming arrangements for the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect.
Half a day passed, and the discussions about major and minor matters were eventually concluded.
Thus, Qi Chuan rose, cupped his hands in farewell to Qingyun True Monarch.
"Junior Brother Qi Chuan, be cautious in the Kunlun Demon Realm... prioritize your own safety, and with your extraordinary talent, there should be no concern in achieving great realms," Qingyun True Monarch couldn’t help but advise, showing a hint of concern at the time of departure.
Hearing Senior Brother Qingyun’s words, Qi Chuan couldn’t help but smile slightly.
He knew this was Qingyun True Monarch’s way of showing concern for him.
Given this departure might take a considerable period, he felt it necessary to reassure Senior Brother Qingyun.
Thus, Qi Chuan smiled and uttered, "Senior Brother Qingyun, rest assured, I now... am of nine inches Great True Monarch realm!"
Having said that, he turned and left, leaving a stunned Qingyun True Monarch in the Myriad Flowers Hall.
