With the subjugation of the Town Prison Demonic Blade completed, Xu Chuan's task for this journey was over.
After consuming a healing pill to mend his injuries, Xu Chuan prepared to depart.
Outside.
Situ Lin was still anxiously waiting.
Xuan Sa, however, had already left.
After Xu Chuan became the Holy Son, there were many matters requiring his attention.
He could not linger here.
Furthermore, he had confidence in Xu Chuan's success and was not overly worried.
Finally, as Situ Lin's gaze grew weary with anticipation.
The stone wall split open.
Xu Chuan emerged from within, unharmed.
"How was it?"
Upon seeing Xu Chuan, Situ Lin's heart leaped with joy, and he quickly asked.
From the bottom of his heart, he hoped Xu Chuan would succeed.
This Town Prison Demonic Blade could be considered the core inheritance of True Yang Peak.
Peak Masters of True Yang Peak throughout the generations had attempted to subdue it.
Unfortunately, none had succeeded.
And whether Xu Chuan could succeed, he had no certainty.
Now, with Xu Chuan finally emerging, he was naturally eager to know the answer.
"I have not failed in my mission!"
Xu Chuan held the Town Prison Demonic Blade in his hands and presented it to Situ Lin with a bow.
Lacking sentience and having already been recognized as Xu Chuan's master, the Town Prison Demonic Blade naturally allowed scrutiny.
It was no longer like before, a volatile gunpowder barrel that would kill anyone who approached!
"Excellent! Excellent!"
Situ Lin gazed at the familiar Town Prison Demonic Blade in Xu Chuan's hands and was genuinely happy for him!
He recalled his own past, a genius unrivaled throughout the Eastern Region.
Young and arrogant, his reputation preceded him.
Finally, upon returning to True Yang Peak, the previous Peak Master had brought him here to subdue the Town Prison Demonic Blade.
He too had been supremely confident that he could successfully subjugate the demonic blade.
But the ultimate outcome was that he not only failed to subdue the blade but was also severely injured, his martial heart deeply wounded.
What pained him even more was that the previous Peak Master, already at his last breath, had died beneath the Town Prison Demonic Blade while saving him.
This also led to Situ Lin's martial cultivation remaining stagnant for a long time after he succeeded as Peak Master of True Yang Peak.
It was only with Xu Chuan's emergence, which made him feel that True Yang Peak had a worthy successor, that the cracks in his heart slowly began to heal.
His cultivation then broke through, soaring to unprecedented heights!
Reaching the seventh level of the Heavenly King realm.
Such an experience left Situ Lin with a mixture of love and hate for the Town Prison Demonic Blade.
Now, seeing Xu Chuan successfully subdue this demonic blade, he could not be happier!
"My good disciple, you must accompany your master for a drink tonight!"
"To celebrate!"
Overcome with emotion, Situ Lin placed a hand on Xu Chuan's shoulder.
He paid no heed to his dignity as a master and Peak Master.
This change in demeanor surprised Xu Chuan.
But he quickly responded with equal joy, "A double celebration, it is indeed fitting to celebrate!"
"Tonight, my master and I shall not return until we are drunk!"
"Coincidentally, I have Phoenix Drunkenness from the Undying Volcano here, I believe master will surely like it!"
Saying this, Xu Chuan took out a jar of wine from his storage ring and removed the seal.
Instantly, a rich aroma of wine permeated True Yang Peak.
Disciples with lower cultivation levels felt dizzy from the scent.
This was a local specialty that Feng Sheng had forcefully given him as Xu Chuan was leaving, calling it a local product!
He couldn't refuse, so he brought it along.
"Good, good, good!"
"We shall not return until we are drunk!"
Situ Lin exclaimed with laughter.
Subsequently, the master and disciple went to the main hall, ordered wine and food to be prepared, and began to drink.
At this moment, within the Great One Holy Land, lanterns and decorations were hung, and the lights were bright, creating a lively scene!
All in celebration of the Holy Son's birth!
...
A night passed.
Xu Chuan returned to his cave dwelling with a throbbing headache.
He had drunk with Situ Lin all night.
More than half of the Phoenix Drunkenness from his storage ring had been consumed by the two of them.
While it was good, drinking too much could be overwhelming.
Moreover, both of them had sealed their entire cultivation, and drinking in their mortal states made it even more potent.
Sitting on the bed in his cave dwelling.
Xu Chuan circulated his cultivation technique to digest the effects of the alcohol.
After a long while, he finally sobered up completely.
Today, he had a major task to undertake, and being tipsy would not do.
Xu Chuan opened the system with his consciousness.
Only now did he have the opportunity to check the system rewards and new functions!
He first opened the rewards.
To his surprise, several prompts appeared before Xu Chuan's eyes.
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a reward: One Cultivation Advancement Card!]
[Cultivation Advancement Card: Can directly increase the user's cultivation by five levels, with no side effects and no risk of unstable foundation. (Note: Only usable in the Tong Tian realm.)]
"Huh?!"
After reading the system prompt, Xu Chuan's eyes widened instantly.
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
Was he reading this correctly?
He doubted himself and reread it several times.
Only then did he confirm that he had indeed not misread.
"Wow, this thing is amazing!"
Xu Chuan was at a loss for words.
An instant increase of five cultivation levels!
Although it could only be used in the Tong Tian realm, it didn't matter!
Xu Chuan was currently at the second level of the Tong Tian realm, and his progress had been stalled for a long time.
Although his combat strength had been continuously increasing, his cultivation realm had shown no movement.
Now, an opportunity for instant advancement was before him.
How could Xu Chuan resist!
"Use it, use it immediately!"
Xu Chuan exclaimed mentally.
[Cultivation Advancement Card used successfully!]
Following the reappearance of the prompt.
Instantly.
Xu Chuan felt a vast power surge directly into his body.
This power caused his cultivation realm to begin to climb rapidly.
Moreover, his body was enveloped in mysterious Dao rhymes.
Tong Tian realm three.
Tong Tian realm five.
Tong Tian realm seven.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Chuan's cultivation had rocketed to the seventh level of the Tong Tian realm.
Not only that.
Feeling the formidable power within his body, it was exactly as the system had said, with no flaws whatsoever!
A perfect breakthrough!
Xu Chuan's heart was filled with excitement.
The gap between his own strength and his cultivation realm was finally not so large.
Although playing the weak to deceive the strong was satisfying, eating too much also led to indigestion!
He was beginning to grow weary of it.
Fortunately, with the system's reward this time, his cultivation realm had soared, directly increasing by five levels.
Such a reward made Xu Chuan even more expectant of the system's new functions.
Without delay, he checked the system prompts again.
He located the section regarding the system's new functions and reviewed the detailed description.
[New Function]
[Script Fusion: Fuse all acquired scripts together to form a unique life script, becoming the protagonist of the script and bearing destiny. (Note: New scripts can be added at any time!)]
Upon seeing this description, Xu Chuan's eyes lit up!
This new function was also a good thing!
He had previously fused quite a few scripts, but apart from increasing his luck and integrating into some of the script's storylines, there had been no other effect.
Now, with the appearance of this function, these scripts could once again shine.
Excellent!
