Immortal King Realm, and after that comes Immortal Emperor Realm. Qin Chuan thought of the Hall Master of the War God Temple camp, who had promised to take him to a martial arts exchange in two years.
That place was a new world, a powerful world, where the Immortal King Realm was just a starting point. Now, more than a year had passed, and in another six months, it would be time to set off.
Meanwhile, there were many changes in the Heavenly Kingdom. The most noticeable was the cultivation level of the Imperial Tutor, as she had been with Qin Chuan all this time.
Qin Chuan's cultivation had only improved moderately, but this woman had made rapid progress. Originally at the high level of the Immortal King Realm, she had recently entered the Immortal Emperor Realm.
This surprised Qin Chuan; the breakthrough was significant. He had worried about the stability of her realm, but unexpectedly, not only was it stable, but it had even made her previous realm much more stable.
It was like building a house; not only were the top floors now incredibly sturdy, but the lower floors were also reinforced with molten iron, becoming much, much stronger.
Compared to before, it was a completely different concept.
Another thing was the Guardian God; the cactus was now over ten meters tall.
Although it's much larger than before, it's still incredibly small compared to the giant plant. However, strength isn't solely determined by size.
The cactus guardian's power has undergone a dramatic transformation.
Back then, it was just a tiny thing that easily pierced Qin Chuan's foot; now its power has increased countless times.
Most importantly, it now possesses sentience.
This is the biggest change for a plant; with sentience, it's no longer just a plant, but truly alive, with its own thoughts, the ability to move, and the capacity to change size. His
relationship with the Empress has also progressed significantly, just one final step away. He's done almost everything except the last one.
This project is no small feat; over a year has passed, progressing little by little, conquering new territories. He's enjoyed unparalleled pleasure, but also endured considerable torment.
After all, the delicious immortal wine is right in front of him, but he can only look, not eat, or even just taste a tiny bit.
That feeling could drive anyone mad.
Fortunately, the Imperial Tutor is there, preventing Qin Chuan from losing control. He has six months left; he must complete it before he leaves.
In talisman crafting, Qin Chuan has made the most progress and has already found a path—
a path leading to level sixteen talismans. This path is like a long shadow, and following the shadow, one slowly searches for the master.
This seems impossible, but it's not simple either, because the shadow is too long. Although there's a trace to follow, if it's too long, the time required is unpredictable.
So Qin Chuan is happy, but he's also prepared for a long period of exploration. Anyway, as long as he stays focused on his goal and forges ahead, he will eventually succeed.
As for forging, forging the divine sword hammer, Qin Chuan will also slowly delve into it. Learning is endless; the stronger one becomes, the more insignificant one realizes; the more incompetent one feels, the more
arrogant one becomes. Qin Chuan now realizes that what he was always so proud of doesn't seem so exciting anymore, because the space for further development is too vast.
There's no need to be complacent about his small achievements; in fact, all of this might really be insignificant.
One month later!
Qin Chuan didn't go to the Imperial Tutor's place tonight—the first time he didn't, because he was in the Empress's room tonight.
The Empress was taking a bath and had been inside for quite some time. Perhaps she was nervous. Qin Chuan lay on the couch with his
eyes closed, resting and thinking. A quarter of an hour later, the Empress emerged, wearing a snow-white nightgown, her face slightly flushed. She walked over with her head slightly lowered.
"Qin Chuan, are you going to bathe?" the Empress asked softly.
Qin Chuan smiled, "Okay, wait for me!"
He hadn't originally intended to bathe, but he wanted to give her some time and space to calm down on the couch.
Qin Chuan bathed slowly, but deliberately at a leisurely pace. When he came out, the Empress was leaning against a cushion on the couch. Seeing Qin Chuan approach, she smiled, her face slightly flushed.
Qin Chuan walked over, lifted the thin blanket, and leaned against her side.
"Nervous?" Qin Chuan asked with a smile.
"Hmm, not very nervous. I've been waiting for this day for a long time," the Empress said softly. These words ignited Qin Chuan's passion.
These words truly made a man's blood boil. Such a stunningly beautiful woman, saying such a thing—it was incredibly fulfilling.
Aside from all that, given their long-standing relationship, their bond was still quite deep. Qin Chuan slowly kissed her.
Everything went smoothly.
Qin Chuan kissed her gently, and the Empress let go, knowing what was to come. She opened her heart, surrendering everything to Qin Chuan.
She felt as if she were floating in a cloud of mist.
Beautiful, the light soft, her white jade alluring, flawless, like a white jade beauty, her two rosy eyes trembling like poppies in the wind, fatally alluring.
At this moment, she possessed a dignified yet captivating charm. Qin Chuan surrounded her, naturally conquering her forbidden territory.
Everything went so smoothly.
Heaven and earth united, all things flourished, the sun rose and the moon set, heaven and earth were distinct, the earth was heavy, the sky was clear, all things were in order…
Boom!
Qin Chuan felt as if his body had opened up at that moment, unable to discern whether it was his body or his consciousness that had opened.
But soon, he felt mysterious forces entering his body, some from heaven and earth, some from the Empress's body.
He had broken through!
The Empress also broke through, even faster than Qin Chuan.
But Qin Chuan couldn't care less about anything else at this moment, because his body automatically adjusted, operated, and guided itself; he didn't need to do anything.
Therefore, Qin Chuan was now enjoying this moment of bliss, a feeling few could experience.
This was true bliss; the mental and physical pleasure was indescribable. At this moment
, he truly felt like he envied only the lovers, not the immortals. After all, this saying is often just a phrase; few truly grasp its essence.
Many people can't find their ideal partner. The person you like doesn't like you back, and the person who likes you, you don't like.
Even if you find two people who fall in love at first sight, for various reasons, it's still difficult to achieve true perfection.
Perhaps one would say, as long as you're happy, that's the best.
While that's true, true bliss is the most perfect, without any flaws.
He was constantly breaking through, but the joy of this moment made him lose all sense of place; breakthroughs were irrelevant.
Her soft, melodious moans, like a song or a lament, were as pleasing to the ear as celestial music and as enchanting as divine sounds. Gazing upon her alluring yet demure, dignified and stunningly beautiful face, one was driven mad with infatuation.
