...
"Um?"
On the mountain road, Nie Yuan stopped, somewhat puzzled. "What's going on with Guhe?"
He wanted to turn his head and look at the middle of Yunlan Mountain behind him.
But the action was stopped halfway through.
A real man is one who can take things on and let them go.
I'm a man of my word; once I'm divorced, I won't consider anything else. Why should I care what she does?
Nie Yuan continued forward, ignoring the messages that flashed by, and instead swallowed the miraculous pill.
The pill melts in your mouth, with a slightly bitter taste, but upon closer inspection, it has a sweet aftertaste.
It slid down my throat and into my body, like drinking a glass of warm water, the warmth spreading from my lower abdomen to my whole body.
Nie Yuan felt exceptionally relaxed, as if the shackles on his body had been removed, and his fighting spirit surged within him.
Seven stars... eight stars... one-star Dou Ling... one-star Dou Wang...
Nie Yuan sat cross-legged on the ground, his hands forming a mudra in front of his lower abdomen.
An attraction emanated from him, drawing in the energy in the surrounding air, causing his aura to rise steadily.
In a short time, Nie Yuan's strength reached the level of a two-star Dou Wang.
"The previous injuries were still too severe, and coupled with being sealed by Queen Medusa, I couldn't even recover to the Dou Huang realm."
Nie Yuan opened his eyes, a flash of hatred crossing his gaze, which he quickly suppressed.
"A two-star Dou Wang is enough for me to get things done now. As long as I gain a little more emotional points, I can buy cultivation points instead of spending a lot of time cultivating again."
Nie Yuan glanced at his personal panel.

...
"More than three thousand more..."
Nie Yuan thought to himself that his letter of divorce seemed to be written quite well.
After thinking it over, Nie Yuan first bought a year's worth of experience and applied it to his martial arts techniques.
The more proficient one is in a technique, the deeper one's mastery of it, and the different the effects of cultivation will be.
After closing his eyes for a moment, Nie Yuan digested the fragments of knowledge he had gained from a year of arduous cultivation, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"Buy two years of cultivation."
A thought suddenly occurred to him.
The fighting spirit within his body first contracted rapidly, then expanded, unleashing a powerful aura.
The force of this impact stirred up a large amount of dust on the ground around Nie Yuan, which then dispersed outwards.
"A three-star Dou Wang in a year, no wonder it's a Di-rank technique."
Nie Yuan clenched his fist, looked at his hands, and then made a hand seal, causing his aura to gradually fade away.
Nie Yuan only stopped after returning to the Great Dou Master level.
Turtle Breathing Technique (Low-level Profound Rank): A simple method to conceal one's strength.
This is an ability that Nie Yuan learned from the Xuanwu Beast God after investing a year of experience.
"If I hadn't used my own battle qi flames, the level I'd comprehend would never have been so low as the low-level Xuan rank."
Nie Yuan sighed with some regret, but his face showed an expectant look.
Because he can't even condense the complete form of the Beast God, he still enjoys a little bit of the benefits of fur.
If the Xuanwu Beast God were truly condensed, what would the rewards be?
Moreover, there are the Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, Azure Dragon, and even the Qilin behind them. We must obtain the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame!
A determined glint flashed in Nie Yuan's eyes, and then he headed straight for the foot of the mountain, rushing towards the capital city not far away.
...
Yunlan Sect.
The sect leader's residence.
Let's push the timeline forward a little.
Yun Yun took the white paper from Nalan Yanran's hand with a puzzled expression and unfolded it.
When the contents, written in black and white, were presented before her eyes.
The two characters "letter of divorce" are as dazzling as the sun, attracting attention and radiating blinding light.
Just looking at it made Yun Yun's eyes sting, and even her heart felt like it had been stabbed. Her breathing became difficult, and she felt a tightness in her chest.
"What, what... Nie Yuan, he, he actually wrote for me... No, what right does he have?! I only went to the Monster Mountain Range, I didn't do anything to wrong him!"
Yun Yun's chest heaved violently, revealing her extremely turbulent inner state.
It's been more than ten years!
Sixteen years!
From the first time Yun Yun met Nie Yuan, she never saw him lose his temper with her or her teacher.
Although Nie Yuan is younger than me, he has always given me the feeling of an older brother in many ways.
The relationship between the two may not be as intimate and harmonious as that between husband and wife, but it is definitely the kind of harmony that family members share.
The only time we've ever argued in all these years was when Yanran called off the engagement.
Last night was the second time.
Yun Yun assumed that Nie Yuan was just angry yesterday.
After all, she knew very well that at this time, it was impossible for Nie Yuan to find his teacher.
But Yun Yun never expected that Nie Yuan would actually write her a letter of divorce.
He actually divorced himself?!
Who am I? The sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, and one of only two women among the top ten strongest individuals in the Jia Ma Empire.
A person comparable to Medusa, the Queen of the Desert.
Throughout the entire Gama Empire, there are countless people who admire him.
Nie Yuan actually divorced himself?
Does he think he can find someone better than himself?
"Teacher, I'm sorry. If it weren't for me, you and your master wouldn't have been able to..."
Nalan Yanran's eyes were red, and her face was full of self-blame.
At this moment, Yun Yun suddenly put away the white paper and pulled her disciple over, saying, "Yanran, don't speak yet."
Nalan Yanran was puzzled, but she obediently did as she was told.
Soon, footsteps could be heard outside, stopping at the courtyard gate.
"Sect Master, Guhe has come to pay his respects."
A deep, gruff voice came in.
What is he here for?
Yun Yun paused for a moment, then said, "Elder Gu, please come in and speak with us."
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man dressed in an alchemist's robe walked into the courtyard.
Upon closer inspection, one can see that Gu He's hair is meticulously combed today, and his alchemist robes are spotless.
He had a faint smile on his face, and when he saw the master and apprentice standing on the steps at the door, his smile became even brighter.
One for me, and one for my disciple.
Looking at them this way, they seem like a perfect match...
"Elder Gu, what brings you here so early?"
Yun Yun suppressed her anger and spoke as calmly as possible.
She was furious.
Early in the morning, I received a letter of divorce, and the next second a greasy middle-aged man showed up and kept smiling at me.
This person is Gu He. If it were any other elder in the sect, they would be packing their things and heading down the mountain.
"Sect Master, I have something I'd like to ask for your help with."
Gu He bows in greeting.
