Although the cultivation life on the Holy Mountain was boring, for the cultivators of the Heavenly Palace, they would not feel that it was very difficult. Each of them, most of the time of every day, is devoted to their own cultivation. For these cultivators, cultivation is actually a part of their lives. If you can't cultivate, your life will be meaningless!

Cultivators who can enter the Heavenly Palace are already far more talented than ordinary people. Every three years, there are only two or three cultivators who are selected to enter the Heavenly Palace. These two or three people were the most talented people selected from hundreds of millions of cultivators.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

All the Heavenly Palace cultivators have made considerable progress in their strength during this year.

However, the Heavenly Palace cultivator who has made the most progress is obviously Xia Yan. After a year of cultivation, although Xia Yan still has not stepped into the realm of the Late-Stage Spirit Sect, Xia Yan has reached the critical point of breaking through to the Late-Stage Spirit Sect.

It can be said that Xia Yan may break through to the late stage of the Spirit Sect at any time. Perhaps, after the next breath, Xia Yan will be able to break through!

"Whew~"

Xia Yan put the alchemy furnace and the various pills that had been refined into the Lingluo Ring, and looked through the window at the lush bushes outside the room.

"After more than a year, I can now successfully refine the Seven Rank Pill. However, the materials of the seven-grade pill are relatively difficult to find, and refining the high-grade pill can't be as unscrupulous as before!" Xia Yan thought in his heart.

In the past year, Xia Yan went down the mountain many times to ask Gao Mingyue to help buy medicinal materials. Every time Xia Yan descended the mountain, the time was very short, so although the people of Dongji had been monitoring the Heavenly Palace and staring at Xia Yan's whereabouts, they had no time to inform Wang Dongji, who was far away in the Sin Forest.

Because the pills that Xia Yan bought in the past were all mid-to-low-level, Gao Mingyue could easily buy them. And now that Xia Yan has begun to refine the Seven Rank Pill, it will not be easy to buy this medicinal material in the future!

Wang Dongji, the suzerain of the Eastern Pole forces, only occasionally returned to the Holy City, and most of the time, he was in the Forest of Sin. The upper echelons of the East Pole now have two Deputy Sect Masters and fourteen Patriarchs.

A year ago, there were three deputy sect masters and sixteen elders in the East Pole, and one deputy sect master and two elders were killed by Xia Yan in that fierce battle.

Guarding Qiushui in the Holy City is still a deputy sect master and eight patriarchs. Of course, the high-level figures of the East Pole who stayed in the Holy City were also responsible for dealing with various incidents of the East Pole forces, and they had to pass on these events to Wang Dongji in the Sin Forest from time to time. The remaining one deputy sect master and six elders followed Wang Dongji in the Forest of Sins.

In this year, Xia Yan's more than five million gold coins were almost exhausted. However, in Xia Yan's ring, there were a large number of pills, and the amount of these pills was so large that if they were taken out, they could scare ordinary cultivators to death.

According to a rough estimate, the elixir refined by himself in Xia Yan's ring is worth more than 50 million gold coins!

"Right now, I've been at the critical point of the late stage of the Spirit Sect's realm breakthrough for nearly a month, and I don't know when I will be able to break through!" Xia Yan's spiritual power ran for a week, and his eyebrows locked slightly.

"Yesterday, it took me a little over two hours to pass through the Devil Formation of Level 7 difficulty. Today, let's see if we can shorten the time to less than two hours. Xia Yan's eyes lit up.

If he could pass the Devil Array of Level 7 difficulty within two hours, then in the next routine assessment of the Heavenly Palace, Xia Yan would be able to obtain more than 1,000 Heavenly Palace cultivation points. In other words, Xia Yan would be able to exchange for a ninth-level treasure, the second part of the Lingluo Heart Method.

The second part of Lingluo's mental method is what Xia Yan wants to get when he thinks about it every night.

This seventh-level difficulty devil array, Xia Yan was already able to pass half a year ago. However, it is difficult to pass in two hours. The first time he passed the seventh-level difficulty devil array, it took Xia Yan seven hours, and the spiritual power in his body was exhausted before he barely passed.

Even if Xia Yan trained hard, it wasn't until yesterday that he passed the seventh-level difficulty devil array in a little more than two hours.

The further you go, the more difficult it is to compress the time.

Of course, Xia Yan passed through the devil's array within two hours, which was already an inevitable thing. Even if it doesn't work today, it will definitely work tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

Xia Yan was called a monster by many Heavenly Palace cultivators in the Heavenly Palace, and no one could have the speed of progress like him. The speed at which an ordinary person reduces his time in the Level 3 and Level 4 Difficulty Devil Array is not as fast as the speed at which he reduces time in the Level 7 Difficulty Devil Array.

Xia Yan tidied up the white robe on his body slightly, the spiritual power under his feet turned, and his figure flashed slightly, and then he left the room ghostly, and then flew in the direction of the devil array.

"Xia Yan!"

When he arrived at the Devil's Array control room, Ye Lao came out of the control room.

"Night Old!" Xia Yan nodded slightly.

Although his strength now surpasses Ye Lao, Xia Yan is still very respectful to Ye Lao.

"Yesterday, you passed the seventh-level difficulty devil array, and it only took you more than two hours and one-fifth of a cup of tea time. Today, are you confident that you will pass in two hours?" The old man of the night looked at Xia Yan with a smile on his face and asked.

"Well, it should be possible!" Xia Yan also smiled and nodded and said.

"Well, try to get through. Hehe, if you pass, then our Heavenly Palace will have one more cultivator who can pass through the seventh-level difficulty devil array in two hours!" Ye Lao's eyes narrowed slightly and looked into the distance.

Xia Yan was stunned!

"Another cultivator who has passed the seventh-level difficulty devil array in two hours? what does it mean?" Xia Yan thought in his heart, and he just wanted to ask.

Ye Lao said, "The day after tomorrow, it is the routine assessment time of this month, I hope you can pass the seventh-level difficulty devil array in two hours in this month's routine assessment." When the time comes, the Holy Emperor may have to call you over. ”

Ye Lao smiled, "Hehe, if you want to ask, the Holy Emperor should tell you!Okay, let's go to the seventh-level difficulty devil array, it's still the old position!"

With that, the old man disappeared at the door and returned to the control room.

Xia Yan stood in place, looked at the door of the ground control room, and several doubtful thoughts swirled in his mind for a while.

What does Ye Lao mean by another cultivator who has passed the seventh-level difficulty devil array?

Could it be that there were many cultivators who had passed the seventh-level difficulty devil array before? What does that mean exactly?

After thinking for a while, Xia Yan could only shake his head helplessly, "Ye Lao said, when I pass the seventh-level difficulty devil array in two hours, the Holy Emperor will tell me some ...... I want to know."

"Forget it, let's enter the seventh-level difficulty devil array first!"

"Whoosh~"

The white shadow flashed, the breeze blew, and Xia Yan reached the entrance of the fifth-row seventh-level difficulty devil array, and disappeared at the entrance.

Two hours later...... "Oh, damn it, it's still a little bit close!"

"That damn devil, if it hadn't been for a last-minute sneak attack on me, I would have been able to pass in two hours!" Xia Yan flew out of the exit of the devil's array and scolded angrily.

In the last ten meters of the seventh-level difficulty devil array, Xia Yan was attacked by a hidden devil. Although this devil did not hurt Xia Yan, he shook Xia Yan back a few meters.

Because of being shaken back these few meters, Xia Yan couldn't pass in two hours.

"Bad luck!" Xia Yan took a deep breath and looked at the seventh-level difficulty Devil Array, "There is still time, then try again!"

"Whoosh~"

Two more hours passed...... "Damn it!"

When Xia Yan came out of the exit of the seventh-level difficulty devil array again, he couldn't help but curse angrily again, this time, Xia Yan still took a little more than two hours, about two hours plus dozens of breaths.

Although this time is very close to two hours, it is not two hours after all.

The more you get to this time, the more you want to improve, Vietnam. In the seventh-level difficulty devil array, the fight between Xia Yan and the seventh-level devil can be said to have reached a white-hot level, and the fight between the two sides is extremely fierce.

It's hard to cut the time even further. Although it seems that it can be done immediately, it still takes a lot of effort to actually achieve it.

"Forget it, that's all for today, it's time to go to the Cultivation Tower!" Xia Yan did not continue to enter the Devil Formation this time.

Today, I entered the Devil's Array twice, and I was delayed for a little more than four hours, and at this time, I should go to the Cultivation Tower. Every time you come out of the devil's array and go to the cultivation tower to absorb spiritual power, the effect will be very good.

After a year of cultivation, Xia Yan can now enter the eighth layer of the cultivation tower, and the concentration of spiritual power in the eighth layer is eighty times that of the outside world, which is even better than the cultivation effect after using some pills.

"Hehe, Xia Yan, this kid, didn't succeed today!"

In the control room, Inspector Liu and Ye Lao just watched Xia Yan's experience in the devil's array.

The time Xia Yan spent in the formation was a little more than two hours.

"Yes, the day after tomorrow is the routine assessment time of this Heavenly Palace, I don't know if Xia Yan can pass the seventh-level difficulty devil array in two hours in this routine assessment. Ye Lao said on Liu's side.

"Well, if Xia Yan can really pass the seventh-level difficulty devil array in two hours, then the Holy Emperor will definitely find him right away and tell him some secrets. Liu Xun's eyes flashed, and his voice was much lower.

"Well, I heard that the competition in that place is getting more and more fierce, the Holy Emperor set a rule thirty years ago, Heavenly Palace cultivators must pass the seventh-level difficulty devil array within two hours before they can go. Don't talk about this, Inspector Liu, you have to hurry, this time in the routine assessment, you should also be able to successfully pass the fifth-level difficulty devil array, right?"

"It should be no problem, half a month ago, I was able to pass the fifth-level difficulty devil array in two hours. Liu Inspector nodded.

"Hehe, then you will take over for me to monitor the devil array now, my old bones, it is time to go in and train for a while!" After Ye Lao finished speaking, the spiritual power under his feet worked, and he walked out of the control room from the ground gate.

In these devil arrays, there were twenty or thirty Heavenly Palace cultivators at this time, all of whom were training hard inside.
