Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes

Coming to the Divine Land, the main task for Shen Han and Shi Yuezhu was still to advance their cultivation.

After stepping into the Immortal Realm, both Shen Han and Shi Yuezhu could feel the slow progress in enhancing their strength.

More frightening was the lack of direction for improving their power.

This was also the main reason why Shen Han and Shi Yuezhu chose to come to the Divine Land.

Here, at least in terms of enhancing their Divine Souls, there was still plenty of room for growth.

Following the cultivation path of Great Wei, it might take years to make any progress, relying largely on luck to step into the Second Grade of the Immortal Realm.

The sect of the Star Tower, being named after the Star Tower, demonstrated the tower’s significance to the sect.

When the Star Tower opened, Shi Yuezhu also went in to train and have a try.

For Shen Han, with the "Gen Mountain Secret Technique," he could try various cultivation techniques in the consciousness world.

But for Shi Yuezhu, it was her first attempt.

The two came with the goal of enhancing their Divine Soul power.

However, Shi Yuezhu wasn’t a disciple of the Star Tower, and with her identity, it was impossible for her to join another sect.

Many of the cultivation techniques of the Star Tower were naturally not to be passed on to Shi Yuezhu.

However, Shen Han brought quite a few High Grade Pills.

Also, there was the Desert Moon Flower.

Shen Han handed these things to Sect Leader Yu Chou, asking for his help to see if anyone was willing to sell some cultivation techniques for Divine Soul training.

The moment Sect Leader Yu Chou saw the Desert Moon Flower, he was slightly surprised.

In the Divine Land, the Desert Moon Flower is known by a different name, the Broken Leaf Flower.

Because this flower is indeed fragile, a slight breeze could break its leaves.

Thus, it got its name.

Different name, but equally precious.

A few days later, Sect Leader Yu Chou arrived with a pile of books.

Incidentally, he returned the Desert Moon Flower to Shen Han, advising him to keep it well.

Shen Han naturally didn’t accept it and directly gifted it back to Sect Leader Yu Chou.

Shen Han looked through each book, removing any gray entries found within.

If something was too complicated, he added an [easy to learn] note.

These cultivation techniques contained many aspects worth pondering for Shen Han.

Two whole months.

Shen Han and Shi Yuezhu focused on their cultivation at the Star Tower.

During these two months, Shen Han frequently communicated with Madam Yun and Cailing.

Compared to the last visit to the Divine Land, the two women were less worried this time.

After all, knowing clearly that Shen Han was now safe, without any danger.

During the exchanges, Shen Han also learned about a piece of news regarding the Shen Family.

The eastern garrison controlled by the Shen Family experienced a large-scale mutiny.

The soldiers they led, many of whom rebelled, almost to the point of an army in disarray.

This plan by the Shen Family turned out to be extremely unsuccessful, severing their own back road.

With significant issues in the eastern garrison, currently, the Shen Family could only try to flee to Yan Country.

Previously, riding the fence, they reaped benefits from both sides.

But now, in the face of decline, turning to Yan Country might not lead to better days.

In the voice transmission, Madam Yun also relayed another piece of news to Shen Han.

About Luo Changping.

This Second Grade Immortal Realm expert, upon the mutiny in the eastern garrison and the Shen Family’s preparation for retreat, chose to realign with the Great Wei Imperial Family.

And when pledging allegiance, he also captured Shen Lingyong and Shen Lingwei.

Shen Qingshan’s most valued eldest son, Shen Lingwei, was captured by Luo Changping and presented to the Imperial Family.

Moreover, if the Shen Family hadn’t habitually traveled separately, it might not have been just those two who were captured.

When mentioning Luo Changping in the voice transmission, Madam Yun expressed worry about her return.

Madam Yun also heard that Luo Changping, in realigning with the Imperial Family, seemed to have put forward a condition.

This condition was for the Imperial Family to help her avenge her nephew, Luo Zuchen.

However, Madam Yun did not yet have confirmed information about the Imperial Family’s response.

But in Shen Han’s heart, he already had the answer.

From a high position, the Great Wei Emperor hopes for some discord among Great Wei’s powerful individuals.

Through his mediation, these conflicts can be alleviated.

Without his intervention, they would be at each other’s throats.

This balance perhaps, for an Emperor, is the most perfect.

That day in the Imperial Palace, the behavior of the Imperial Family was already showing concern towards Shen Han.

This exceptionally gifted young disciple did not belong to the Imperial Family.

With the Shen Family defeated, they would rather Shen Han not grow up.

All Shen Han sought was peace and freedom, but now it seemed, it is indeed harder to achieve than wealth and fame.

Previously, the Imperial Family aimed to draw the Shen Family’s attention through him, to deal with the Shen Family.

So they would side with him.

But now, he instead has become a concern for the Imperial Family.

Especially on that day in the Imperial Palace, allowing Luo Zuchen to target him.

The Imperial Family probably believes, even more, that Shen Han harbors grievances against them.

At night, Shen Han relayed the news he heard from Madam Yun to Shi Yuezhu.

However, Shi Yuezhu had already heard this news from Xiaoyao Peak.

Furthermore, she also heard that Shen Lingyong and Shen Lingwei had both been executed by the Imperial Family.

By extreme punishment.

Shen Lingwei, who Shen Qingshan valued most and was highly likely to step into the Immortal Realm, died just like that.

Luo Changping already held grievances against the Shen Family, and this outcome was actually within expectations.

"The Great Wei Imperial Family, at present, may be more wary of you than even Luo Changping.

Luo Changping is but a solitary person.

Yet behind you, stands the pill power of the Yun Family and the sword dao strength of Xiaoyao Peak.

Moreover, at such a young age, you’ve already stepped into the Immortal Realm..."

Shen Han also understood the principle of ’innocence can provoke guilt by possessing a treasure.’

However, he couldn’t just destroy his own strength to reduce the Imperial Family’s suspicions.

"Don’t worry too much, Xiaoyao Peak was once suppressed by the Great Wei Imperial Family as well.

They tried to force Xiaoyao Peak to pledge allegiance to the Imperial Family.

Although it was the doing of the previous Emperor, the father and son are quite similar.

But once Xiaoyao Peak was strong enough, the Imperial Family stayed silent from then on.

They began speaking of unity among the people of Great Wei and such things.

The talk of allegiance was never brought up again."

Shi Yuezhu’s words were understood by Shen Han.

As long as there is sufficient strength, peace will naturally follow.

Keeping these things in mind, Shen Han cultivated with even greater effort.

During the days of cultivation, time passed quickly.

News about the light orb continued to arrive.

People who fell into the light orb, some had already returned.

According to them, on the other side, there exists a different cultivation method, much more formidable than the cultivation in the Divine Land.

Some disciples of Jing’an Palace have chosen to leave the sect and join the sects on that side to cultivate and improve.

Originally, the secret of the light orb was known only to the top experts of the Divine Land.

But with people continuously returning from that side, the news couldn’t be contained forever.

The news of the light orb began to spread wider.

Especially after hearing that on that side there are different cultivation methods, even more formidable than those in the Divine Land.

Gradually, people began to deliberately be absorbed into the light orb.

In sects, those who felt dissatisfied and discontent, saw this opportunity as a vine to climb upward.

In Great Wei, after the Shen Family fled to Yan Country.

The Su Family was assigned to the east, to reorganize the army.

But this time, the Su Family no longer held exclusive control over military power.

Su Jinyu also received news from the Su Family.

The news of the sky’s light orb abnormality absorbing people had already spread across Wei and Yan countries.

People taken there, some have returned to Great Wei.

Just like the Divine Land, various rumors spread wildly, people began to actively enter it.

The Star Tower was relatively calm, its disciples being rather laid-back and not too impulsive.

But many major sects are currently having headaches.

For example, major sects like the Celestial Sword Sect are facing such situations now.

In the sect, competition was already fierce.

Now came news saying that on the other side of the light orb, cultivation progresses far faster than in the Divine Land.

One year of cultivation there equals ten years of hard work here in the Divine Land.

The news was unverified, the truth was hard to determine.

However, many young disciples are now finding it hard to settle down and cultivate.

They fear that their years of hard cultivation could be surpassed by others in a few months...

In such situations, the disciples of the Celestial Sword Sect reacted quite strongly.

Midway, both Su Jinyu and Fu Tianqi visited the Star Tower.

Su Jinyu, not only could she obtain information from the Inner Domain,

her father would also inform her about the situation regarding the light orb in Great Wei.

Both felt some anxiety.

More and more people are venturing into the light orb for adventure and training.

The more people go, the more news comes back.

Almost daily there’s new news spreading, yet it’s hard to discern what’s true and what’s false.

The current news from that side claims that casual cultivation could easily lead one into the True Immortal Realm...

The True Immortal Realm of the Divine Land has more experts than the Immortal Realm of Great Wei.

But it isn’t a cabbage patch, easy for entry.

These words sound like rumors, but with so many spreading them, it’s hard not to falter a little...

Facing the anxious pair, Shi Yuezhu as an elder offered comfort.

Presently, no one knows the accurate situation of that side.

The only option is to cultivate with peace of mind.

Shen Han and Shi Yuezhu both seemed to have a relatively steady mindset.

They weren’t swayed by these rumors.

Wait until the news is confirmed, then it’s not too late to worry.

For things that cannot be resolved at present, shouldn’t be overthunk, only adding unnecessary troubles.

However, Shen Han did glean something from these rumors.

It seems those on the other side have little interest in Great Wei or the Divine Land.

Now, often there are reports of people going there.

Yet no mention of anyone from that side coming here.

The ones coming back are essentially those who went over there and returned.

Perhaps, those people truly look down on places like Great Wei and the Divine Land.

Truly seeing them as remote, backward regions.
