Of course, if these geniuses want to reach the level of Heavenly Monarch, they still need to go through many hardships. In the end, if three or five talented disciples can reach the level of Heavenly Monarch, Chen Lei will be very satisfied.
While Chen Lei was instructing the disciples of Qingyang Sect in their practice, he himself was also practicing in seclusion.
During this period of time, Chen Lei had very little time to practice. Now that Jiang Yi had been killed and Qin Haotian had gone into hiding, the entire Middle Realm Continent had temporarily become stable. He could also spare some time to practice and improve his cultivation.
His current cultivation level is at the eighth level of the Soul Realm, but his combat power is comparable to that of the fourth or fifth level of the Heavenly Man Realm.
If his cultivation could break through to the Heavenly Man Realm, then his strength would naturally be even stronger.
Chen Lei was in seclusion, practicing wholeheartedly, and occasionally he would take some time out to teach martial arts to the disciples of Qingyang Sect.
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, three years had passed.
During these three years, the situation in the Middle Realm has become increasingly stable. The Emperor God Sect was destroyed throughout the Middle Realm, and most of the remnants of the Emperor God Sect who escaped were also killed. The rest either hid completely or escaped into the starry sky.
In fact, a large number of the powerful Tianjun-level warriors fled into the starry sky.
These powerful Heavenly Sovereign-level warriors, when they were in the Middle Realm, were sealed by the shackles of heaven and earth and could only exert the combat power of the Heavenly Man Realm. However, once they reached the starry sky, the shackles on their bodies disappeared without a trace, and they became Heavenly Sovereign-level masters again.
These Heavenly Monarch-level masters who had fled to the starry sky were all furious and wished they could fight their way back to the Middle Realm.
Unfortunately, once they return to the Middle Realm, their cultivation will be sealed again, so they dare not return to the Middle Realm at all.
These powerful Heavenly Lords directly joined the Imperial Clan in the starry sky and entered the Emperor Planet where the Imperial Clan was located.
Although the Imperial Clan is powerful, the Heavenly Sovereign-level strongmen are by no means cabbages. After these Heavenly Sovereign-level strongmen joined the Imperial Clan, they were naturally treated preferentially by the Imperial Clan, and the clan valued them very much.
Moreover, the imperial family had long known what happened in the middle realm and that Jiang Yi had been beheaded.
As for the Imperial Clan, they have been busy with other things recently and have not been able to deal with the Middle Realm for the time being. As soon as this period of time is over, the Imperial Clan will definitely launch a massive counterattack and take control of the Middle Realm firmly in their hands.
During these three years, Chen Lei's cultivation level, as expected, broke through to the ninth level of the Soul Realm.
The reason why he was able to break through to the ninth level of the Soul Realm was naturally related to his profound foundation. His accumulation was so strong that breaking through to the ninth level of the Soul Realm was a natural thing.
During these three years, Chen Lei not only broke through to the ninth level of the Yuanshen Realm, but he also refined several treasures he obtained from the Wuya Cave, making it possible for him to control them as easily as with his own arms.
These treasures are the purple gold gourd, the diamond cutter, the ice-patterned sword and the lapis lazuli shield. They are all growing spiritual treasures and are very rare.
Especially the purple gold gourd, which is an innate spiritual treasure. It is not artificially refined, but grown from the spiritual roots of heaven and earth.
As for this purple gold gourd, Chen Lei took some time to visit Tongtian Academy, and looked through all the ancient books of Tongtian Academy to find out the origin of this purple gold gourd. Finally, he found the origin of this purple gold gourd in a very ancient book.
