Xue An entered the cultivation world at the age of 22 and wandered for three thousand years, ultimately achieving unparalleled status as an Immortal Venerable.
This achievement is indeed remarkable!
It can even be said that Xue An’s talent and speed of cultivation are unmatched throughout the history of the multiverse.
However, Xue An’s path of cultivation was not always smooth sailing.
Because at the beginning of his cultivation, he had neither connections nor a background, so Xue An could only pick up the discarded, worthless cultivation techniques for his foundation establishment.
Although later, Xue An’s extraordinary talent allowed him to cover up this flaw,
the impact of not having a solid foundation from the start lingered on, though it didn’t manifest as plainly.
As Xue An’s strength grew, the cultivation techniques and resources he could access improved significantly.
But this brought about a serious problem: Xue An had no clear path in his cultivation.
Unlike those disciples nurtured by sects, Xue An’s cultivation system was extremely eclectic.
Perhaps one day he would acquire a divine sense cultivation technique and focus on his divine sense, then switch to body cultivation the next day with a different technique.
Although his talent allowed him to cultivate each area well, this haphazard approach laid a significant hidden danger for his future growth.
This was a major reason he failed to break through to the Saint Realm at the level of Immortal Venerable.
Later, even though Xue An was reborn, this flaw remained.
Since none of his techniques followed a unified path, he could only rely on his talent and wits to refine them as he explored and cultivated.
It goes without saying, under such circumstances, the true yuan and spiritual power within Xue An were not pure.
This was why Yue Shifang and other experts claimed that Xue An’s strength did not match his heart realm.
It was because the techniques were holding Xue An back.
But now, as the spiritual power within Xue An’s spiritual body operated according to the Xingtian Battle Technique,
the once eclectic spiritual power shuddered, rapidly deposed, and was absorbed by the Xingtian Battle Technique.
In the blink of an eye, the spiritual power within Xue An vanished into nothingness, like a deflated balloon.
His empty meridians contained only a fine thread of Xingtian True Force.
Xue An’s strength plummeted in an instant from Saint Realm down to Immortal Venerable, then to Immortal Emperor, finally stopping barely at the early phase of the Immortal Emperor Realm, almost slipping into the Immortal King Realm.
Confronted with such a dramatic drop in power, Xue An was not the least bit afraid, instead smiling calmly before waving his hand.
The giant serpent man that he had earlier balled up reappeared before him.
"My lord, has the matter been resolved... huh, my lord, what happened to your strength?" The serpent man keenly noticed Xue An’s drastic loss of power and curiously asked.
"It’s nothing, just an unexpected encounter," Xue An replied indifferently.
And as he spoke, the ever-circulating Xingtian True Force increased slightly once more.
Boom!
Xue An’s aura surged, moving from the early to mid-phase of the Immortal Emperor Realm.
Such a rapid advancement was unheard of, and if word got out, it would surely cause a huge stir.
Yet at this moment, Xue An remained calm, without the slightest hint of surprise or excitement, as if all this was within his expectations.
"Let’s go!"
With those words, Xue An strode deeper into the void.
The serpent man stood still, only moving after a shiver ran through him when Xue An had already walked far.
To be honest, just earlier, when he noticed Xue An’s sudden drop in strength, a wicked thought crossed his mind momentarily.
But it was quickly dispelled by the casual ease of Xue An’s advancement.
Especially since he also noticed that despite Xue An’s power being only at the Immortal Emperor Realm now, the aura he exuded was more terrifying than before.
So he wisely suppressed the wicked thought in his heart and chose to follow.
At this moment, Xue An was still bare-chested, and each step he took contained a unique rhythm.
As he moved, the muscles on his body danced like flowing water, even making the tattoo on his back seem alive.
The serpent man just glanced at the tattoo and was frightened into lowering his head, not daring to make a sound.
The densely packed battle spirits were dizzying for anyone to look at, and more importantly, the giant dancing above them with a shield and axe, even just a glance made the serpent man feel as if his body was about to collapse.
This made him gulp quietly.
What are all these things?
And what about Lord Xue’s strength?
Could it be that these warriors were defeated by Xue An and forcibly sealed up?
Just as the serpent man was lost in his thoughts, Xue An, who was marching ahead, suddenly erupted with a great aura again.
Boom!
This time Xue An advanced from mid-phase to the late phase of the Immortal Emperor Realm.
Such advancement speed would hardly be believed if spoken of.
The serpent man was astonished, but more importantly, he noticed that post Xue An’s advancement, the tattoo on his back seemed to have changed.
The images of the warriors at the base became more vivid, and some individuals’ eyes had brightened, as if they could e to life in the next instant.
The serpent man took a glance and then lowered his head with immense reverence, not daring to entertain any offensive thoughts.
And just at that moment, with the lighting of the tattoo on Xue An’s back, a wisp of qi inexplicably appeared and merged into Xue An’s body.
Xue An was slightly stunned, then a peculiar expression appeared on his face.
For the bound element was actually a wisp of wish power.
When it merged within, Xue An heard a murmur-like voice of prayer.
"White Bone Saint, please bless me, may my father change his mind and not marry me off to that foppish son of the Great General, and may I find a suitable match..."
Then the female voice went on to chatter about many trivial things.
Xue An listened, amused.
From the narrative of the female voice, Xue An learned that this unknown girl’s father had presumably offended some powerful family and, with no choice, wanted to marry her off to a noble’s son.
The noble’s son was a genuine fop with a terrible reputation, so the girl was very unwilling, yet she dared not defy her father’s will, hence came to the temple to pray and wish.
But who is this White Bone Saint she mentioned?
Could it be... Xingtian?
Just as Xue An was pondering, the girl’s voice said again: "Cai Die, lay out the offerings I prepared!"
"Yes, miss!"
Offerings? What offerings?
Just as Xue An wondered, a brilliance appeared in front of him, shining gloriously.
