Immediately after her return to Demon Realm, Da Xia entered into close-door cultivation. She had felt the stirrings of a breakthrough coming, and she couldn't risk delaying her advancement.
Thus, for three long months, she shut herself off from the world inside her space, meditating and refining her spiritual energy. The process was grueling, filled with moments where she felt like she was standing on the edge of a cliff, teetering between failure and success. But she persevered.
And when she finally emerged from her space three months later, she had ascended to the Saint rank. She was now one of the ten most powerful cultivators in the entire Demon realm.
Her presence had changed; it was heavier, more imposing, yet there was a certain serenity that clung to her like a second skin. The realm seemed to recognize her newfound strength, bowing to her will as she walked through its lands.
