475: Golden Body Realm Peak

Shen Tianxing naturally wasn't interested in knowing what these Cultivators gathered in the city were doing.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't care, nor would he take it to heart.

All along, apart from his friends, Shen Tianxing rarely interacted with outsiders. Even those old acquaintances from the Great Qi Dynasty gradually drifted apart as his strength grew.

After all, birds of a feather flock together.

It wasn't that Shen Tianxing looked down on the people he once knew, but rather that they were already people from two different worlds. It was no longer possible for them to sit together and chat like before.

Even if he wanted to, they might not be able to adapt.

Rather than force it, it was better to let nature take its course and live in peace.

This is human nature, and something everyone inevitably experiences as they grow.

After returning from the Dragon Tomb, Shen Tianxing went back to his own small world.

Every day, besides necessary Cultivation, he would guide the women in their practice.

This time, the harvest was immense. The treasury left by the Azure Dragon Clan contained many treasures, some of which had succumbed to the erosion of time, turning into dust.

Those that remained were truly precious.

All the women received a large batch of treasures for Cultivation, including Spirit Medicine, divine weapons, and some Divine Ability Cultivation Techniques preserved from ancient times, as well as insights into the Dao.

With these resources, Liu Xianyun and the other maidens, as long as they Cultivated diligently, would be able to achieve huge Breakthroughs in a very short time!

Their Cultivation would rapidly increase... In the back courtyard of the Trading Firm, within a room where Shen Tianxing was in seclusion.

In Shen Tianxing's bedroom, he sat cross-legged on the bed, five hearts facing upwards, circulating his Mind-Cultivation Technique.

After half a month of Cultivation, he had elevated his state to its most perfect condition.

His Divine Soul was full, his mind clear, and his nature enlightened.

His physical body was crystal clear, like a blooming green lotus, emanating a green luster.

The entire room was enveloped in a peculiar Dao rhythm. The sound of the Dao rumbled in his ears, and every movement of birds, beasts, fish, insects, dust, and falling leaves within the heaven and earth, both inside and outside the room, appeared in exquisite detail in his mind.

He felt the rhythm of heaven and earth, pulsating in a natural state.

It was as if this world itself had life.

Boom!!!

Suddenly, the Qi within his body erupted. A robust and mountain-like true essence surged out of his body, yet in an extremely short time, it permeated the entire room.

Not a single trace leaked out.

If an outsider were to step into his room at this moment, they wouldn't need him to act; the true essence pervading the room would instantly suppress and kill the intruder on the spot!

He commanded his true essence as easily as moving his arm, controlling the erupting Qi, while the surrounding Dao rhythm pulsed joyfully.

Soon, everything was absorbed back into Shen Tianxing's body.

The true essence vanished, and everything in the room remained as before, without the slightest change.

Returning to simplicity, merging with the Dao!

This was Shen Tianxing's current state.

"Hoo..."

Shen Tianxing exhaled a turbid breath, and his bright, star-like eyes suddenly opened.

Before his eyes, the world seemed to have gained a few more colors.

The things his eyes could now see were more numerous than before.

It was as if he could see the purest Dao between heaven and earth through these eyes!

This was the change he gained after his strength increased.

"Is this the Peak state of the Golden Body Realm?"

"Compared to when I was in the Dragon Tomb Land, the current me could kill my former self with just one hand. Those so-called Emperor's Companion and Peak Masters, killing them would be as simple as crushing an ant."

The feeling of power is truly wonderful!

Indeed, after entering the Golden Body Realm, the saying 'one step, one heaven and earth' is entirely correct.

An existence like Wan Qianqiong, an eighth-level Golden Body Realm Cultivator, cannot withstand even one of his fingers now. The gap is not just talk.

Wan Qianqiong, that old monster, has lived for tens of thousands of years, and his fierce reputation is well-known. Who could easily crush him?

But the current Shen Tianxing can!

"A month has passed in the blink of an eye. It's time to go back and give her a surprise."

A smile appeared at the corner of Shen Tianxing's mouth.

An incomparably beautiful face appeared in his mind.

Sometimes majestic and domineering, sometimes pure and ethereal, and sometimes heroic and unconventional... The face of Empress Yan Yuzhu became clearer and clearer in his mind.

He increasingly wanted to go back.

This was the promise he made to the Empress when he left.

He would return with hope, and he would take the Empress away from that small place to experience the true world of Cultivators!

Now, it was time to fulfill his promise.

A divine light flashed in the room, and Shen Tianxing's figure suddenly vanished... After the women returned, they rested for a few days and were now in seclusion again.

The Never Look Back Merchant Guild hadn't changed much. Shen Tianxing hadn't appeared, and Shen Liu and Shen Qi were still looking after it as usual.

With their strength, even if Shen Tianxing wasn't present, no one would dare to cause trouble.

Compared to Shen Tianxing, their fierce reputations were earned in plain sight, having killed not twenty, but at least a dozen Golden Body Realm Cultivators!

Who would dare to provoke them!

"Young Master has come out of seclusion!"

Shen Liu's slightly closed eyes flashed, and he stopped what he was doing, putting down the abacus he used to pass the time, and went to the top floor of the Trading Firm.

Shen Qi pulled out a flask of wine from somewhere and skillfully arranged a few small dishes, naturally placing them where Shen Tianxing usually sat.

Shen Liu's eyes widened, thinking to himself, why hadn't he thought of that trick?

Suddenly, a light flashed on the top floor.

Shen Tianxing's figure appeared.

"Young Master!"

Shen Liu and Shen Qi quickly bowed.

Even though they were both Incarnations of Shen Tianxing, they had grown accustomed to doing so in front of him.

"Well, well, I'm not here, and this is how you guard my home?"

"Enjoying good wine and good food, impressive!"

Shen Tianxing pointed at the two, scolding them with a smile.

"Young Master, these are all specially prepared for you, hehe!"

Shen Qi scratched his head, smiling as he spoke.

Shen Liu, seizing the opportunity, quickly stepped forward and poured the wine.

"Is the city very lively lately? What are they all here for?"

As soon as Shen Tianxing came out of seclusion, he felt the changes in the city and asked casually.

He would never have imagined that these Cultivators were all specifically here to see him.

"Young Master, they are all here to see you. I guess they are afraid that the experts of the Four Domains Immortal Great Sects will purge the Inner Sea, and they are preparing to cling to a powerful backer."

This guess was very accurate.

Shen Tianxing understood with a single thought.

"That's right!"

"The Four Domains Immortal Great Sects lost so many experts; it's a significant loss, and it's natural for them to be angry."

"Especially the Hunyuan Immortal Palace and the Eastern Extreme Divine Cult. Two Emperor's Companion! This might cause them to lose the chance to compete for the Emperor's Companion position. Perhaps a bloody massacre is the only way to wash away the shame of losing an Emperor's Companion."

Shen Tianxing said indifferently.

To him, he was eager for these forces to come looking for him; that would be excellent!

These were all massive amounts of experience points!
