The brightflowers had withered, but the lake remained. Floating above the lake, Xiang Shaoyun was surrounded by a multicolored radiance, looking incredibly divine. When Tuoba Wan'er, Gong Qinyin, and Liu Yanran saw that, their eyes rippled with indescribable emotion. Xiang Shaoyun was akin to the child of heaven, boundlessly enchanting and charming.

Tuoba Wan'er and Gong Qinyin were both Xiang Shaoyun's women, so they felt proud for having such a man. As for Liu Yanran, she had a look of infatuation as her heart throbbed. No woman could remain indifferent before a man of such caliber.

Xiang Shaoyun had remained in the same state for three days. Even after the brightflower had withered, he was still comprehending the dao. Compared with all who had experienced the Brightflower Landscape, he had persisted for far longer than everyone else.

His entire brain was filled with the profundity of primal chaos. Although his comprehension was still rather shallow, he had still managed to get a glimpse at how boundless the profundity of primal chaos was, becoming fully aware of the prowess of the great dao.

Finally, Xiang Shaoyun woke up. When he opened his eyes, he had a look of regret as he muttered, "It's a pity. If I could remain in this state of comprehension for longer, I would be able to gain even more understanding of the supreme great dao."

Liu Yanran had a complicated look when she heard his words. Inwardly, she sighed, No wonder he can command the numerous experts in his sect at such a young age. No regular person can compare with him in terms of talent.

"Congratulations, holy son-in-law, for your gains," said Tuoba Wan'er with a smile.

Xiang Shaoyun lifted his head and looked at them. His body flickered and reappeared before Tuoba Wan'er and Gong Qinyin. Looking at the two, he found that the two had also advanced greatly, especially Gong Qinyin. She had actually reached the seventh-stage Dragon Ascension Realm, two stages higher than before. As for Tuoba Wan'er, she had reached the peak of her previous stage and was only a step away from her next breakthrough.

"Both of you have gained a lot as well. Looks like this Brightflower Land is truly quite a wondrous place," said Xiang Shaoyun with a pleased smile.

Not only had he comprehended the profundity of life, but he had also gained partial comprehension of the profundity of primal chaos. His cultivation had reached the peak fourth-stage Soul Foundation Realm. Before long, he would be able to step into the fifth stage.

Without the Brightflower Landscape, they would have taken a much longer time to improve that much in their cultivation. One could say that the Brightflower Land's existence was a great advantage for the Brightflower Chamber. Even if the Brightflower Land could only be used once every ten years, they could still obtain a considerable number of talents through it. If it wasn't for the fact that all their Saints had perished, Xiang Shaoyun probably wouldn't have gotten the chance to experience the wondrous Brightflower Landscape.

"Young Master Xiang, the brightflowers have withered and will bloom again after 10 years. Time for us to leave," said Liu Yanran.

"Um. Let's go," said Xiang Shaoyun with a nod. "I'll forget about all that had happened previously. But I hope that you can keep your people in order if you don't want any unnecessary trouble."

"You're right, Young Master Xiang. We will learn from experience," said Liu Yanran.

"If you need any help, feel free to let us know. I can see that many in your organization aren't quite willing to obey your commands," probed Xiang Shaoyun.

Liu Yanran smiled and said, "You jest, Young Master Xiang. Despite the recent conflict, our Brightflower Chamber is still able to maintain our unity."

"Heh. I do hope that's the case," said Xiang Shaoyun with a laugh before leaving alongside Liu Yanran.

After leaving the forbidden zone, he went straight back to the Ziling Sect with his companions. He wanted to take this chance to temporarily go into seclusion and consolidate his gains while waiting for the Saintforce Realm to open. He also aimed to enter the fifth stage before the Saintforce Realm opened.

Liu Yanran invited them to stay for a few more days, but Xiang Shaoyun had no interest in staying. He did not forget to remind her to ask for help upon encountering any trouble. Xiang Shaoyun had a feeling that Liu Yanran would have a hard time gaining control over the Brightflower Chamber. Those two old fellows would definitely create trouble for her. If Liu Yanran really asked for his help, he would then have a proper excuse to make the Brightflower Chamber his subsidiary organization.

After returning to Ziling City through Brightflower Chamber's teleportation formation, he returned to the sect and entered seclusion. He needed to fully consolidate his gains on the profundity of life and further study his understanding of the profundity of primal chaos.

He first focused on the profundity of life by fusing the profundities of wood, water, and light again and again. He also tried using the Secret Reversal Technique with the profundity of life, greatly boosting his vitality. The growth of his vitality was big enough that he could easily sense his boundless life force, causing him to be overwhelmed with joy.

He even started injuring himself numerous times before healing himself with the profundity of life. He discovered that this recovery speed was much faster than before when using the Secret Reversal Technique.

In other words, he only needed to activate the profundity of life after suffering any injury in the future, and he would be able to heal rapidly. This was a massive advantage over his opponents.

As for the profundity of primal chaos, he had also obtained some gains in his seclusion. His understanding of the relationship between the five elements deepened. If he continued practicing, a day would come when he fully fused all five elements and touched upon the dao of primal chaos.

Unfortunately, he had limited time, so he had to shift his focus to reaching fifth-stage Soul Foundation Realm. With his remaining time, he focused on absorbing astral energy day and night. With the Grand Astral Congregation Formation deployed on his place of seclusion, he could rapidly absorb astral energy. As time passed, a breakthrough seemed nearer and nearer.

Finally, just as he was about to reach the point of breakthrough, he sensed his saintforce token pulsing. He took the token out without hesitating. On the token, several words appeared: Northern Border's Heavenly Snow Mountain.

That was where the Saintforce Realm was located. All the token holders must head over there immediately. The Southern Wasteland, Northern Border, Eastern Pass, and Western Desert were all a part of the dominion. As for the so-called Heavenly Snow Mountain, it was the Northern Border's number one mountain. Thus, it wasn't surprising that the Saintforce Realm was also located there.

Traveling to a different region would require a lot of time. Thus, Xiang Shaoyun had no choice but to depart immediately. As for his breakthrough, he would attempt it during his journey. In any case, he was reaching the point of breakthrough, so there was no rush. He could use the journey as the chance to further strengthen his foundations before breaking through.

After leaving seclusion, Xiang Shaoyun called over Xiang Chenxi, Xiang Keren, and Xiang Feidian. They were all token holders and had to have received the notification as well.

"Be sure to work hard during this excursion to the Saintforce Realm. Try to gain as much as you can there," said Xiang Shaoyun.

They all nodded with a confident look on their face. And thus, the group's journey to the Northern Border began.
