Xu Yan traversed the world of cultivation, unable to cultivate for a full twenty years, yet emerged as a mortal proficient in all forms of poetry, books, zither, and painting.

He raised his hand and pressed forward in the air. Immediately, an invisible force of the Great Tao pressed down on Lei Zhenzi the Second, directly burying him underground near the Immortal Source Tree.

She knew that Xu Yan hadn't gone all out, so she wasn't worried about Lei Zhenzi the Second's safety.
