Breakthrough to the Void Return stage, a shocking change occurs at the Nine Heavens Sword Pavilion.

Fortunately, the isolation Formation Chen Yuan had set up in advance played its role, firmly locking the astonishing phenomena and pill fragrance within the pill chamber, not letting a single trace leak out. Otherwise, it would have surely shaken the entire Pill Cauldron Sect.

The iridescent light and pill clouds slowly receded, finally transforming into three streams of light that flew into the jade bottles Chen Yuan had prepared.

Chen Yuan reached out, and the jade bottle flew into his hand.

He looked down and saw three Medicinal Pills, the size of longans, perfectly round, with naturally formed profound pill patterns on their surfaces, resting quietly in the bottle. Each one emitted a heart-palpitating energy fluctuation and a complete Daorhyme.

"It's done," Chen Yuan said, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

Producing three void-breaking pills at once, all of perfect quality, was an even better result than he had expected.

This type of Medicinal Pill, capable of facilitating a Realm Breakthrough, typically yields 1-3 pills.

Producing three pills shows how superb Chen Yuan's Alchemy Realm is.

He took out one of them and handed it to Su Yuejin, who was still in a state of shock and absentmindedness.

"Yuejin, this one is for you."

Su Yuejin looked at the void-breaking pill with its flowing pill patterns before her. Her delicate body trembled, as if she had been burned, and she repeatedly waved her hands:

"No... no! Young Master Yuan, this is too precious! You painstakingly refined it; I... I can't accept it!"

This was a top-grade void-breaking pill! Its value was simply immeasurable!

Even her father had never refined a top-grade void-breaking pill.

Chen Yuan, however, didn't allow for any refusal, directly stuffing the jade bottle into her hand and holding her slightly cool small hand, his tone firm:

"If I give it to you, then take it. You have already reached Late Stage Soul Transformation; this pill is just right for you.

I hope my Dao Companion can walk alongside me, not fall too far behind."

The two words "Dao Companion" struck Su Yuejin's heart like a heavy hammer.

She looked up at Chen Yuan's deep and serious eyes. Not only did he regard her as his Dao Companion, but he also considered her future path so thoroughly!

"Mhm!" Su Yuejin nodded vigorously, clutching the jade bottle tightly in her hand, "Thank you, Young Master Yuan!"

"Still calling me Young Master Yuan?" Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow, deliberately teasing her.

Su Yuejin's pretty face flushed crimson, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum as she tentatively whispered, "Hus... Husband?"

"That's more like it," Chen Yuan laughed heartily, his mood greatly improved.

He put away the remaining two void-breaking pills and waved his hand, dispelling the isolation Formation in the pill chamber.

"Regarding today's Alchemy..."

"I understand!" Su Yuejin immediately interjected, her expression solemn. "This is our secret, and I will never mention it to anyone, not even father!"

Chen Yuan, with his Soul Transformation cultivation, displayed the strength of a Seventh-Grade Pill Saint. How utterly astonishing and world-shaking that was.

Once leaked, it would undoubtedly attract countless troubles and covetous gazes.

However, a hint of doubt subtly arose in her heart. Why did Young Master Yuan need to keep it a secret? Coming from the ancient Mohist School, who would dare to covet him?

Chen Yuan nodded, very pleased with Su Yuejin's intelligence and thoughtfulness.

[Ding, detected Host gifting a Seventh-Grade Medicinal Pill, void-breaking pill, triggering a hundredfold return.

Congratulations to Host for obtaining an Eighth-Grade Medicinal Pill: Heavenly Evolution Body Integration Pill.

An excellent Medicinal Pill for Breakthrough to Body Integration.]

Chen Yuan looked at the Medicinal Pill within the System, filled with emotion. This kind of Medicinal Pill had long been extinct. For Void Return to Breakthrough to Body Integration, most needed to experience the Mortal World, personally feel, comprehend the heavens and earth, question immortals and demons, and merge the Nascent Soul with the Physical Body.

This is why there's the saying: 'Body Integration comprehends the heavens and earth, tempering the heart questions immortals and demons.'

With this Medicinal Pill, it meant that Chen Yuan would no longer have Realm shackles and could Breakthrough all the way to the Body Integration Stage.

Due to Chen Yuan's nine-inch Dantian, he required higher spiritual energy to Breakthrough Realms. Therefore, after reaching Void Return, it was estimated that only Medicinal Pills that boost Body Integration would be effective for him.

Generally, Medicinal Pills that can enhance the Void Return Stage are extremely rare, let alone for the Body Integration Stage.

However, Chen Yuan was a man with a System; he only needed to refine a Void Spirit Pill and then give it to his woman.

As night fell, the cicadas still chirped, and Chen Yuan had already set up everything around him: an anomaly-shielding Formation, a stabilizing grand Formation, and so on.

He sat cross-legged on the mountaintop, took out the seven-colored void-breaking pill, and swallowed it in one gulp.

The Medicinal Pill melted upon entry, and a vast energy instantly integrated into his limbs and bones, rushing straight to his Dantian and Purple Mansion!

Boom—!

The spiritual energy within him, which had already reached Nascent Soul Perfection Stage, instantly boiled under the guidance of this profound intent of creation and destruction!

The nine-inch Dantian vibrated violently, and the small Nascent Soul figure within him also sat cross-legged like Chen Yuan, absorbing the void-breaking pill's potency.

The seemingly indestructible Realm barrier instantly disintegrated under the massive energyImpact of the void-breaking pill.

In the sky, the weather suddenly changed!

Dense dark clouds appeared from nowhere, instantly obscuring the stars and moon, and a muffled thunder rolled deep within the clouds.

Void Return Heavenly Tribulation,

However, facing this Heavenly Tribulation that could mean certain death for Soul Transformation Cultivators, Chen Yuan merely raised his eyes slightly, a hint of indifference flashing within them.

The first purple Heavenly Lightning, thick as a water bucket, crashed down!

Chen Yuan did not dodge or evade, nor did he even stand up. Instead, a layer of spiritual light, containing the nascent form of the Fire Sword Dao Law, naturally circulated around him.

The Heavenly Lightning struck the spiritual light, producing a deafening roar and scattering electric sparks, yet it failed to shake him in the slightest. Instead, the pure lightning power within it was quietly absorbed into Chen Yuan's body as he circulated his Cultivation Technique, tempering his Meridians and Physical Body.

Immediately after, the second, then the third... each Lightning Tribulation was fiercer than the last, and its color changed from purple to crimson gold.

But Chen Yuan remained as steady as a mountain, the spiritual light around him growing increasingly brilliant and condensed.

His foundation was too profound; the quality and total amount of spiritual energy provided by his nine-inch Dantian far surpassed those of his peers. Coupled with his powerful Physical Body and the preliminary mastery of the Fire Law of Sword Dao, this Void Return Heavenly Tribulation was more like a tempering and baptism for him.

When the last golden thunder Dragon, spanning the sky, was swallowed by Chen Yuan and forcibly refined with his supreme magical power, the sky-filling tribulation clouds slowly dissipated, revealing the clear night sky behind them and an even more dazzling river of stars.

A breath as if more in tune with heaven and earth slowly emanated from Chen Yuan, and a faint Primordial Spirit phantom slowly appeared behind him.

Void Return Realm, achieved!

With perfect form and spirit, and the spirit returned to the great void, one's lifespan can reach over twenty thousand years. After breaking through to the Void Return Stage, one can even mobilize the Origin Qi of heaven and earth for one's own use, casting spells without needing to form hand seals.

Chen Yuan slowly opened his eyes, a galaxy seemingly flashing within them.

Just as he was stabilizing his new Realm and carefully experiencing the profundities of the Void Return Realm, his brows suddenly twitched. He sensed the vibration of a special communication Jade Slip in his storage ring.

He took out the Jade Slip. This was an urgent message from his Revered Master, Leng Youmeng, which would not be used unless it concerned the Sect's survival or a matter of immense importance.

As his Divine Sense sank into it, Leng Youmeng's solemn voice immediately echoed in his mind:

"Yuan'er, urgent news! The Nine Heavens Sword Pavilion, a first-grade force in the Tiangang Domain, has undergone a shocking change!

Its Grand Elder, Traitor Situ Wang, is a Human Race traitor. In his pursuit of a Breakthrough to Mahayana, he had secretly colluded with the Northern Barbarian Yao Race long ago, abandoned his human body, and fused with the body of an ancient Great Yao. He has recently succeeded in Breaking Through to Early Stage Mahayana!"
