Chapter 225: Chapter 107: Second Spirit Core: Sea of Qi, Perfection! Celestial Rotation

More importantly, she had also thought that going to Star Sword Peak was the best choice for Jiang Xuan.

In the end, it wasn’t until she entered Four Seasons Valley and met Meng Yingyue of the Valley of Autumn that her spirits lifted, all thanks to Meng Yingyue’s reassuring words.

"Little Xia He, we never stopped Jiang Xuan. He could have left anytime he wanted. Staying here was his own choice... Besides, our Four Seasons Reincarnation Scripture is no weaker than those of the Upper Vein. Its only drawback is that its Cultivation is difficult."

"But with Jiang Xuan’s Talent, do you really think he’ll fail in his Cultivation?"

These words made Xia He abruptly look up. "Of course not!"

"Then that settles it," Meng Yingyue said with a smile. "If he can successfully master the Four Seasons Reincarnation Scripture, Jiang Xuan’s future accomplishments here in Four Seasons Valley will be in no way inferior to what they would have been at Star Sword Peak."

Her words were like a sudden enlightenment, instantly unraveling the knot in Xia He’s Heart and bringing a long-absent smile back to her face.

No longer needing to worry about her best friend’s mood, Zhen Youqing immediately perked up and began to look around.

After scanning the area and seeing no sign of Jiang Xuan, she said, a little deflated, "Hey, where’s that genius of yours? Hasn’t he come out of seclusion yet?"

She had accompanied Xia He to Four Seasons Valley today mainly because she wanted to see for herself this Jiang Xuan whom Star Sword Peak had missed out on, and whom Xia He treasured so dearly.

She was immensely curious about this genius her best friend had "picked up."

Not to mention, since Jiang Xuan had been in secluded Cultivation for nearly a month, he had become something of a legend to the outside world, adding to his mystique.

Facing her friend’s expectant gaze, Xia He shook her head and said earnestly, "Don’t look at me. I’m absolutely not going to disturb Brother Jiang Xuan."

"Not being able to help is upsetting enough. There’s no way I’m going to cause trouble for him."

This attitude made Zhen Youqing sigh in resignation, but she didn’t press the issue. Instead, not ready to give up, she asked, "So when do you think he’ll come out of seclusion?"

"It should be in the next few days," Xia He said after a moment’s thought. "The last time I delivered his Spiritual Cuisine, he told me he was on the verge of a breakthrough..."

DONG—

Before Xia He could finish speaking, a clear, resonant, and distant Bell Ringing, as if originating from the highest heavens, suddenly echoed between Heaven and Earth.

Unlike previous times, this toll of the bell was not particularly intense or booming.

Yet, as the toll of the bell sounded and reverberated between Heaven and Earth, an aura of the Myriad Phenomena being renewed began to spread in its wake, gradually permeating the world.

Beyond that, Xia He and Zhen Youqing also felt a faint yet irresistible majesty.

It was a majesty akin to that of a king seated upon his throne, issuing an Imperial Decree that commanded the very phenomena of the heavens to change.

Affected by this unique majesty, both Xia He and Zhen Youqing fell silent and instinctively gazed toward the northern part of Four Seasons Valley.

And then, they saw it: the phenomena in the northern sky were undergoing a world-shaking transformation.

The once clear and cloudless sky was transformed in an instant.

A biting wind carried lead-gray clouds that rolled in from the north, devouring half the sky in a flash.

WHOOSH...

RUMBLE...

The wind howled wildly as clouds black as ink pressed down heavily overhead, looking as if they might collapse at any second.

Immediately after, the cloud mass began to spin and churn with mad intensity. Countless silver serpents of lightning darted through the dense clouds. Muffled thunder, like the roar of a great beast, rolled out from the cloudbanks, making the very ground beneath their feet tremble.

But the thunder did not last long. The temperature plummeted, and the dark clouds that had been brewing a storm began, in the blink of an eye, to release thick flakes of snow.

WHOOSH...

The biting north wind whipped the snowflakes into a frenzy, and in an instant, the world was painted a stark, solid white.

The endless, biting chill and the all-penetrating winter wind caused both Xia He and Zhen Youqing to shiver, even though they were a great distance from the small courtyard.

However, this wondrous spectacle of the turning seasons came as quickly as it went.

In just a few breaths’ time, the wind and snow ceased, the dark clouds scattered, and the sky returned to its former cloudless clarity. It was as if the heart-shaking scene from moments before had been nothing but an illusion that had never occurred.

But the faint fluctuations of Spiritual Power lingering in the air, along with the chill that still clung to their bodies, told them that everything they had just witnessed was real.

Xia He and Zhen Youqing exchanged a glance, each seeing the same shock and elation reflected in the other’s eyes.

At the same time, they both came to the same realization.

"Brother Jiang Xuan / Your Jiang Xuan—he’s broken through!"
