"This—"

Tangyu himself was speechless for quite a while. He had anticipated the power of the Square Inch Kill to be extremely strong, terrifying enough to become his greatest move, his ultimate trump card.

But using it for the first time, the effect indeed surprised Tangyu, much stronger than he had expected. Four Zifu Realm practitioners were instantly killed—what kind of terrifying technique is this? These were four Zifu Realm practitioners after all, even the weakest among them could not be underestimated.

To kill four Zifu Realm practitioners in one move, what grandeur is this? How domineering is this?

After calming down, Tangyu was wildly ecstatic: "Haha, incredible, truly worthy of being a supreme secret technique. This power is truly amazing. With this Square Inch Kill, I have gained much more confidence. However, these four Zifu practitioners were caught in a self-destruct and couldn't pay attention to anything else. Otherwise, killing them in a single move would still be difficult. But in any case, it demonstrates the astonishing power of the Square Inch Kill. I thought I was going to die this time, but instead, I was surprised by this unexpected twist."

Sometime later, Xuanyuan Wushang and the other two finally snapped back to their senses, and Xuanyuan Wushang was filled with admiration: "Tsk tsk, defying the heavens, truly defying the heavens. Haha, we didn't expect to escape disaster so easily. I thought we were doomed. Indeed, life is full of surprises."

Tangyu grinned and exhaled in relief, then went over to collect the spoils from the four Zifu practitioners. Though these four came on a mission and didn't bring much with them, it was still a waste to leave these trivial items behind, so Tangyu collected them. After collecting these items, Tangyu said to Xuanyuan Wushang and the others, "Let's go find a place to go into seclusion and cultivate."

Thus, the four quickly departed from there.

As soon as Tangyu and his companions left, the area erupted into an uproar. All kinds of voices filled the sky.

"What technique did Tangyu just use? It was terrifying, right?"

"I don't know, I've never heard of such a frightening technique that kills opponents in an instant. With a single sword move, four Zifu practitioners were slain without the slightest resistance. Such a method is terrifying."

"Tangyu never used such a technique before. This technique might be an Immortal Fate he just obtained. It seems to be a supreme secret technique spell of sorts, extremely frightening. The General Master's position, the Immortal Fate obtained must be incredibly huge as well."

"Yes, definitely so, sigh, we can only feel envy, jealousy, and hate. Tsk tsk, what dominance! In one move, he killed four Zifu practitioners. This Tangyu has the bearing of a young king. In the future, he will surely become a young king, recognized and renowned across the world. If he continues to grow, I believe it won't be long before he becomes an unparalleled figure, standing atop the cultivation world. Sigh, comparing people really can make you angry. Our lifetime pursuit is merely to seek immortality. But seeking immortality, how difficult it is."

"Seeking Immortality is a path of no return, a difficult road. It's incredibly hard to go far. Every opportunity must be grasped to potentially surpass others, standing out and rising step by step. If we can't grasp it, I fear we might fall into mediocrity."

After Tangyu and the others left, they quickly found a quiet secluded valley. This place was nice, so Tangyu and the others decided to go into seclusion here and spend the remaining four-plus years in cultivation.

After settling down, Xuanyuan Wushang couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Tangyu, what technique was that move you used earlier? It was too terrifying, was it the Immortal Fate rewarded by the General Master?"

In front of Xuanyuan Wushang and the others, Tangyu had nothing to hide, nodding: "That's right, it was the Immortal Fate given by the General Master, a supreme secret technique called 'Square Inch Kill,' which kills enemies in an instant, extremely domineering. The force exerted was somewhat beyond my imagination."

The name was unfamiliar to both Sun Wukong and Pan Chenyu, but after reciting it a few times, Xuanyuan Wushang's eyes widened: "Square Inch Kill, I recall reading about it in an ancient record. Square Inch Kill was the signature move of the Luoyu Immortal Venerate, and after the departure of the Luoyu Immortal Venerate, this supreme secret technique also disappeared. Through countless ages, although many have reached the Point General Platform and received Immortal Fates as General Masters, I've never heard of anyone obtaining the Square Inch Kill."

"Brother Tangyu, for you to acquire the supreme secret technique of Square Inch Kill, it seems your Immortal Fate must indeed be far greater than others. In the era of Luoyu Immortal Venerate, the Square Inch Kill was renowned across the world, a supreme secret technique of incredible prowess. Cultivated to the extreme, it becomes extraordinarily terrifying. It is said that the Luoyu Immortal Venerate killed many formidable Seeking Immortal cultivators with this very technique."

Tangyu felt a sense of relief, realizing that it was the signature move of the Luoyu Immortal Venerate, and it was no wonder it was so domineering and powerful. Acquiring this Square Inch Kill was naturally something that brought Tangyu immense joy.

"Let's go into seclusion and cultivate. I hope that when we emerge, we will have reached a realm we are satisfied with," said Tangyu.

Everyone nodded, and the four of them each established their own caves, then began their isolated training. While four years may seem long, when truly immersed in cultivation, it doesn't feel that long.

In seclusion, Tangyu also began to train. His main focus now is on enhancing his realm and mastering the Pangu Nine Axes and Bright Moon Sword Art. Advancing further in Square Inch Kill in a short time is definitely difficult. The Ground Shrinking Spell is not easy to cultivate either. Moreover, Void Obliteration is even more challenging. Therefore, the most ideal step for Tangyu now is to first elevate his realm, aiming to reach the Ninth Layer of the Golden Core Realm.

Once the realm is elevated, cultivating techniques becomes much easier.

As Tangyu and the others were in seclusion cultivating, Luoyu Immortal Palace was bustling for a while, and outside, it was even more lively. The events inside spread quickly; although it didn't cause much of a sensation, it was quite a spectacle for a time. Especially the matter of Qin Wushuang being slain by Tangyu, which alarmed the ancient Qin family, the Eight Holy Lands, and the three ancient Gu families, constituting the highest echelon of power in the cultivation world, reaching its pinnacle.

Any of these powers could shake the cultivation world with a mere stomp.

Though Qin Wushuang was not the Saint Heir of the ancient Qin family, his talent was quite notable, and his grandfather was a highly respected elder of the Qin family; therefore, this incident enraged the Qin family. If it weren't for Tangyu currently being in the Luoyu Immortal Palace, they might have come to seek revenge.

Of course, immersed in closed-door training, Tangyu was naturally unaware of the storm outside.

This matter also reached the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, where Tangyu and Sun Wukong's astonishing performance in Luoyu Immortal Palace also brought much attention to Jiuzhou Immortal Sect. This greatly elevated the reputation of Tangyu and Sun Wukong. Xing Tian Wang Qiutian and the others were naturally very pleased upon receiving the news, feeling proud of Tangyu.

In the cultivation world, within a certain secret realm, a ragged figure suddenly burst out of a mass of black light, looking disheveled. Swinging a palm fan, he took a big gulp from a wine gourd at his waist after emerging, finally feeling a bit more comfortable.

"This trip almost cost this old taoist's life. This place is truly dangerous. Fortunately, this old taoist ran fast; otherwise, I would have really fallen in there. But still, this trip wasn't in vain; I managed to get what I wanted, which is quite a gain." Naturally, this person was Ji Dian, who grinned broadly.

Suddenly, his brow furrowed slightly as he quickly pinched his fingers, showing a hint of surprise on his face. "Oh, my disciple is not bad at all, truly worthy of someone with Great Destiny. He's actually encountered the rare Point General Platform and Ancient Immortal Palace once in ten thousand years, and even claimed the role of General Master, gaining a great opportunity. Tsk tsk, quite impressive, worthy of being my good disciple. However, he's also run into a bit of trouble, having killed a Qin family disciple."

"Bah, it's a trivial matter; the Qin family youngster has some background too. This incident requires your master to step in personally to clean up your mess. It's been a while since I've visited the Qin family; might as well go drink some wine there."

After finishing, Ji Dian gazed in a certain direction, then took a step, vanishing from sight, not knowing how far he had traveled with that single step.

Tangyu, immersed in cultivation, naturally had no clue that his master was cleaning up his mess for him. Time passed, and before he knew it, four years had gone by. Tangyu and his four companions had been in Luoyu Immortal Palace for over four years, almost reaching five years. After five years, they would be automatically sent out of Luoyu Immortal Palace, so Tangyu and the others didn't have much time left there.

Inside the cave dwelling, Tangyu smirked, feeling his own body, "Four years of closed-door training have yielded some results, I've now advanced to the Ninth Layer of the Golden Core Realm. Improving two layers in two years can only be considered average speed. The Divine Demon Refinement Scripture, however, is somewhat lacking; although I broke through to the mid-stage of the Third Layer of the Divine Demon Body Refinement over a year ago, I still haven't advanced to the late stage, being just a step away, but this step is hard to take."

The progress in my realm wasn't entirely satisfying, but it was acceptable. Considering four years spent in seclusion, the speed of improvement was actually quite slow when compared to before. In comparison, it's indeed much slower, but that's unavoidable; the effect of secluded cultivation is naturally somewhat inferior.

Of course, aside from advancements in realm, Tangyu had made substantial gains in other areas over these four years. For example, he had already mastered the Sixth Axe of the Pangu Nine Axes, and the Sixth Axe was quite perfected, now aiming for the Seventh Axe.

He had also achieved a relatively high level in the Lei Ming Sword, having practiced up to the Third Style; the Fourth Style was starting to take shape.

However, the only disappointment was that the Bright Moon Sword Art still hadn't produced a Third Style, only undergoing some optimizations and enhancements to the Mindful Style and Yin Yang Style without creating a Third Style, which somewhat frustrated Tangyu.

Another positive breakthrough was in Ground Shrinking, which had reached the Second Layer, a breakthrough that delighted Tangyu the most.
