Start flat, cut off the wife of the five-star empress

Lu Yuan decided to take Zi Xier to Dongyun Island, where the strength of the cultivators was generally not high, and it could provide a safe environment for practice.

Lu Yuan plans to settle down on Dongyun Island, re-examine his own cultivation route, and assist Zi Xier in recovering her cultivation.

After they arrived at Dongyun Island, they found a hidden cave as a temporary residence.

This cave is located in a dense bamboo forest, like a fairyland.

"This is such a great place."

Su Liyan looked at the surrounding scenery excitedly, "The air is fresh and the environment is quiet, which is very suitable for cultivation."

Lu Yuan nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, the spiritual energy here is much richer than expected, which will be of great help to our cultivation."

Zi Xier struggled gently to stand up from Lu Yuan's arms. Her face had regained some color and she looked much more energetic.

"Lu Yuan, thank you for your care."

Zi Xier looked at him gratefully. "I'm fine now, you can practice without worry."

Lu Yuan smiled and shook his head: "Sister Zi Xier, your injuries have not fully recovered yet. You need more time to recuperate."

"We will stay by your side until you fully recover."

Su Liyan also came forward and said with concern: "Sister Zi Xier, you must have a good rest. We will always be with you."

Zi Xier looked at Lu Yuan and Su Liyan with emotion. She knew that they really cared about her and were responsible for her safety and health.

"Thank you, I am really lucky to have friends like you."

Zi Xier's eyes were slightly red, and she felt an unprecedented warmth and security.

Lu Yuan patted Zi Xier's shoulder gently and said, "Don't worry, we will stay with you until you fully recover."

When Zi Xier closed her eyes and concentrated, trying to perfectly merge her soul and spiritual power, she felt an invisible force gradually flowing into her body, as if the power of the rules of heaven and earth was silently guiding her.

She took a deep breath and focused her mind, trying to guide this power into the purest fusion.

Inside the Nascent Soul in her body, spiritual energy was like clouds and mist, slowly surrounding her soul. The scorching breath and the deep spiritual energy intertwined with each other, forming a unique resonance.

Zi Xier silently counted the rules in her mind and operated them quietly, trying to transform this resonance into a higher level of fusion.

She felt that her soul seemed to merge with her body, as if spiritual power was burning in her body. Her mind gradually became blurred, leaving only her obsession and desire for fusion.

She began to feel the power of fusion, an indescribable power, both strong and fragile, like a strong wind blowing and a gentle rain nourishing.

Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Zi Xier's forehead. She clenched her teeth and faced the challenge brought by the fusion without flinching.

She knew that the success of this fusion would directly affect her future path of cultivation, as well as the relationship between her and Lu Yuan.

Suddenly, a violent fluctuation of spiritual power burst out from Zi Xier's body, and the air around her seemed to tremble because of it.

A gleam of determination flashed in Zi Xier's eyes, and she knew that she had taken a crucial step.

"Success!"

Zi Xier murmured to herself. She felt the changes in the spiritual power in her body. The fused power became more condensed and stable, like a sparkling pearl, emitting infinite possibilities.

At this moment, a warm light shone from a corner not far away. Lu Yuan and Su Liyan silently guarded Zi Xier. Seeing that she successfully integrated her soul and spiritual power, their hearts were filled with joy and encouragement.

"Sister Zi Xier, you are awesome!"

Su Liyan excitedly held Zi Xier's hand, "You finally succeeded!"

Zi Xier smiled and nodded. She felt the encouragement and blessings from the two people, and her heart was filled with gratitude and warmth.

Ten years passed quickly, Zi Xier had reached the initial stage of Spirit Transformation and continued to practice alchemy.

One day, she found three monks exploring the formation around her secluded cave.

When Zi Xier showed up to stop them, she was attacked. Although she easily blocked the attack with her spiritual power shield, she was extremely unhappy about it.

Three years later, a group of monks from the Qingmen sect in Dongyunhai found Zi Xier's cave and asked her for help.

Their leader was murdered by a demon cultivator and they were in urgent need of strong support.

Zi Xier refused to get involved in the dispute and asked them to leave immediately to maintain the purity of their practice.

"Ms. Zi Xier, we really need your help!"

A Qingmen monk pleaded.

Zi Xier looked indifferent and responded with a firm gaze: "I don't want to get involved in the dispute, please leave."

Although the Qingmen monks felt helpless, they finally obeyed Zi Xier's wishes and left sadly.

Zi Xier looked at their receding backs and felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart, but she remained true to her original intention.

Zi Xier looked at the departing figure of the Qingmen monk from Dongyunhai, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.

She is fully aware of her original intention and path of practice, but she also feels increasingly powerless in the face of external disturbances.

"Sister, are you okay?"

Su Liyan walked to Zi Xier and asked worriedly.

Zi Xier smiled slightly and patted Su Liyan's shoulder soothingly.

"I'm fine, just feeling a little tired."

"Let's continue practicing."

Su Liyan looked at Zi Xier's profile and couldn't help but sigh.

Zi Xier had always been her object of admiration, and her firm and calm attitude earned her immense respect.

Just at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard and Lu Yuan hurried over.

He looked at Zi Xier and Su Liyan, frowning slightly, "What happened?"

"Why does it look a little off?"

Zi Xier took a deep breath and briefly explained to Lu Yuan what had just happened.

Lu Yuan frowned, thought for a moment and said, "We should indeed try to avoid disputes, but if possible, we should still do our part."

"However, we are not disciples of Qing Sect. If we get involved in their internal strife, it might bring more trouble."

Zi Xier said with a frown.

Lu Yuan stared at Zi Xier and said softly, "But leaving some things alone is not a solution."

Zi Xier was silent, she knew that what Lu Yuan said made sense.

She nodded gently, "Okay, let's go."

The three of them took off and flew towards Dongyun Island.

Zi Xier, Su Liyan and Lu Yuan flew over Dongyun Island, their figures as erratic as lightning.

They flew silently on their way to the city, their hearts filled with worries and expectations for the future.

Suddenly, Su Liyan looked up in the direction of the city ahead and shouted.

"Lu Yuan, our destination is ahead!"

Lu Yuan looked forward and saw the outline of the city gradually becoming clear on the horizon. He nodded slightly. (End of this chapter)
