In the 22nd Layer of the Forbidden Land, Shen Han no longer knows how long he has been contemplating here.
Through sun and rain, he looks somewhat unkempt.
Previously, Shen Han would record each day, marking the date daily.
But this time, Shen Han pays no mind to anything else during his contemplation.
In his heart, there’s only the contemplation of cultivation.
During this time, Shen Han feels as if he’s thought a great deal.
Scenes in his mind unfold from the time he first arrived in Great Wei to now striving towards the Immortal Realm.
During cultivation, silhouettes drift before his eyes, circling around him.
During these days of arduous training, Shen Han feels as if Madam Yun is sitting beside him.
In the sky, under the scorching sun, she’s gently fanning him.
If it rains heavily, she holds an oil-paper umbrella to shield him.
Cailing somehow learned some cooking techniques from unknown places, smiling as she walks towards Shen Han with a bowl of sweets.
Shen Han even feels as if he can hear what she’s saying clearly.
With a playful voice, she calls out to Young Master Han, asking him to try the bean curd dessert she just made.
Shi Yuezhu also sits beside him, softly advising him not to over-exert himself.
In addition, there are Dean Tianyi, Fairy Xilan, Chai Haifu, and the others...
In a sudden moment, when Shen Han awakens from his confusion again, a sharp glint appears in his eyes.
Between heaven and earth, it’s currently pouring rain.
Yet these raindrops seem somewhat afraid of Shen Han.
Facing Shen Han, they even seem hesitant to fall on him.
Immortal Realm.
In Great Wei, whether it’s the Martial Path or the Scholar’s Technique, or even the rare Witchcraft and Gu Skill, all are divided into Ninth Grades of strength.
However, no matter which cultivation method it is, they all tell you that after stepping into the Third Grade, one undergoes a transformation.
At this moment, Shen Han feels for the first time the power of the Immortal Realm.
Although he has just stepped into the Immortal Realm, the changes in his body are extremely evident.
Shen Han raises his eyes towards the vast heavens and earth, with a clearly enhanced field of vision.
The surroundings, every scene and object, sway with the wind.
But now, it seems as if their swaying speed has considerably slowed down.
Moreover, the transformation of his body is incredibly delightful.
One can clearly feel the increase in his body’s strength; with a gentle step, he can leap great distances.
During the Fourth Grade, although capable of Controlling the Sky and casting spells in midair.
But truly stepping into the Immortal Realm, everything feels so effortless and free.
Controlling the Sky, it turns out, is not laborious at all.
Entering the Immortal Realm, Shen Han feels the confinement of the laws of heaven and earth has weakened.
Of course, it may also be that his own power has broken through some of the constraints of these laws.
No wonder they say that achieving the Immortal Realm is a tremendous leap.
Shen Han thought for a moment that his current strength might be five or six times that of his Fourth Grade self.
No wonder back then, he used all his strength and still barely escaped with his life.
And it was because he dared to venture into the Land of the Far South.
Otherwise, at that time, he might not have been able to save his life.
A long sword appears in his hand, precisely the one with the orange descriptor of being "handy and easy to use."
Originally, Shen Han was worried about encountering danger here and thought he might need this item.
But now it seems unnecessary, he was overthinking it.
With the sword in hand, Shen Han begins to practice swinging.
The Sword Qi is sharp and sweeping, slicing the once drizzling raindrops in half.
His former self could also unleash such formidable Sword Qi.
But it was never as easy as it is now.
With a casual stroke, it’s already equivalent to a full-power strike, possibly even surpassing it.
Immortal Realm, the Immortal Realm he had yearned for, he has finally reached it!
Great Wei, he can finally return.
Luo Zuchen, Luo Changping...
After calming his mind a bit, Shen Han steps to the center of the creek.
All this time, he’s been immersed in cultivation, paying no attention to cleanliness or appearance.
The rain makes the creek swell significantly.
Using the creek water, Shen Han washes away the grime on his body.
As he washes, he simply lies down in the creek water, letting it engulf him.
His whole body submerges in the creek.
In his ears, the sound of gurgling creek water fills.
But there is a smile all over Shen Han’s face.
Immortal Realm, he has finally reached the Immortal Realm!
Suddenly, Shen Han slaps the stream, and the surrounding scene seems startled.
Once he cleans his body, the rain gradually ceases.
Shen Han changes into fresh clothes, appearing even more handsome than before.
Because of cultivating the "Unceasing Skill," even through wind, sun, and rain, his body was unaffected.
Immortal Realm strength is more reserved.
If unwilling to reveal it, others will find it even harder to discern his strength.
With time still left, Shen Han uses this opportunity to familiarize himself with his newfound strength.
His various cultivation techniques and Divine Soul need reacquaintance.
Concentrating, countless sword shadows emerge between heaven and earth.
After stepping into the Immortal Realm, the sword shadows summoned by the Celestial Dao Sword Momentum grow sharper.
Facing many opponents who haven’t stepped into the Immortal Realm, Shen Han feels he only needs one sword shadow to deal with them.
Moreover, with the Lonely Wind Snow-Treading Step, his Body Technique has almost reached the pinnacle.
Originally, Shen Han thought he fully understood this set of Body Technique moves.
The potential he had displayed was already the full extent of this Cultivation Technique.
But now, it seems this is not the case.
This Cultivation Technique still has room for improvement.
It was just that previously his strength was insufficient to utilize it fully.
Besides that, there is also the Misty Sword Intent and the Divine Abyss Formulas.
All of these, he needs to familiarize himself with again; his body has changed too much.
Besides these, there is also the Divine Soul.
The significant leap in his vitality will also be a huge advancement for his Divine Soul cultivation.
For ten days straight, Shen Han tried to familiarize himself as much as possible with his current strength.
During his spare time, he even tested his Array.
Removing the Jade Pendant that suppressed the Array’s effect, Shen Han tried to sense it.
Even after stepping into the Immortal Realm, the Array’s limitations still exist.
It seems that the Array is truly equally limiting for all beings.
Ordinary cultivators or those in the Immortal Realm, if they are to be restricted, they remain restricted.
Outside the Forbidden Land, this year’s Forbidden Land training is coming to an end soon.
Only a few days remain.
Outside, it has been only fifty days.
A short fifty days, yet it passed in the blink of an eye.
Yu You, the Sect Leader of Celestial Sword Sect, has been somewhat worried these days.
Yesterday, Yi Qi sent a message to ask him, and it wasn’t about anything else.
It was about Shen Han reaching the 22nd Layer of the Forbidden Land.
Yi Qi had heard these rumors long ago and had been restraining himself.
But recently, even people from other sects have come to ask him.
So Yi Qi finally couldn’t hold back and sent a message to Yu You to inquire.
After receiving a definite answer from his own Sect Leader, Yi Qi also fell into deep thought.
The 22nd Layer of the Forbidden Land, the deepest part of Snow Mountain House’s Forbidden Land, is the 22nd Layer.
In the message, Yi Qi asked Yu You a question.
"Sect Leader, can... we bring Shen Han to our Celestial Sword Sect..."
Shen Han is a disciple of the Star Tower, and the relationship between the two sects is very close.
The leaders of the sects are still blood brothers.
To poach a disciple in this way is extremely inappropriate.
Yi Qi thought that he would surely be reprimanded by the Sect Leader for saying this, after all, the Star Tower is his brother’s sect.
But this time, Yu You hesitated for a moment: "Find a suitable reason, and the reason must be compelling.
When the time comes, I will talk to my brother."
Even Yu You himself was tempted to poach.
By putting himself in others’ shoes, Yu You could foresee.
At this moment, who knows how many people want to bring Shen Han back to their own sect.
Even if they can’t bring him into their own sect, they would probably want to try some methods, like marriage alliances or forming good relations...
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
This year’s Forbidden Land training finally came to an end.
Before entering the Forbidden Land, everyone carried a Magical Artifact.
Inside, Magical Artifacts couldn’t be used for messaging.
But this specially made Magical Artifact from Snow Mountain House could still give some hints.
When the Magical Artifact emitted a faint glow, it meant it was time for everyone to come out.
In the passage, there were even more people today than on the day the Forbidden Land was opened.
This passage, originally very spacious.
Standing in it, one wouldn’t feel crowded at all.
But today, it was clear that there were a lot of people.
Snow Mountain House didn’t allow outsiders to enter the mountain gate, but today, many people from Snow Mountain House came.
But fortunately, they were still sensible.
Those of lower status knew to stand a little farther away.
The hint had been given, and now it was just a matter of waiting.
Generally speaking, the lower the layer, the earlier one comes out.
There should be a time difference, the lower the layer, the quicker one receives the hint.
The information from the Magical Artifact was sent out.
Before long, finally, the first person came out.
To everyone’s surprise, the first person to come out was Shen Han.
Seeing Shen Han come out, everyone was taken aback for a moment.
Many had come just to see Shen Han, but seeing him come out first still startled them.
Seeing so many people, Shen Han was also slightly taken aback, but he quickly composed himself.
He looked around for a moment and finally saw Senior Yu You not far away.
"What, don’t you recognize me?"
Saying this, a smile appeared on Yu You’s face.
He very much wanted to ask Shen Han what he had gained, but with so many ears and eyes around, he naturally kept these words to himself.
Hearing this, a wry smile appeared on Shen Han’s face as well.
"I must admit, Senior Yu You, it feels like it’s been a long, long time since I’ve seen anyone else.
For a moment, I indeed couldn’t react."
The cultivation in Great Wei and this Divine Land, even when going into seclusion, is counted by the month.
It’s rare for a seclusion to last several years.
This time, Shen Han stayed inside for nearly three years.
Not seeing another soul for three years, feeling estranged upon seeing others is quite normal.
