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.

Turns Out I'm a Hidden Expert

Then, he withdrew the Tao power that suppressed Mu Chuan and took a step, directly walking out of the range of the Immortal Source Tree.
