After soaking in the hot spring pool for a while longer, Su Chen got up and returned, changed into a new set of clothes, and continued his cultivation...

...

Another eight or nine days had passed in the blink of an eye!

That night, as usual, he was cultivating in his room.

However, his state at this moment was somewhat different from before; his forehead was covered in sweat, beads continually dripping down!

His body was also drenched with sweat, as if he had just been fished out of a river!

This was because he was currently solidifying his pill!

The Kaiyuan Realm involves forming a vortex-shaped Yuan Mansion at the nodes of the Nine Major Meridians, allowing the True Yuan to exist in liquid form within the Yuan Mansion!

Solidifying the pill is the process of transforming the liquid True Yuan within the Yuan Mansion into a solid-state crystal existence, forming a True Pill!

Once the pill is successfully solidified, it signifies a true breakthrough into the Condensation Pill Realm!

Before this, the liquid form of True Yuan in his Yuan Mansion had already started gradually converging toward the center of the Yuan Mansion, becoming increasingly dense, compressing together, with subtle changes occurring in its form!

He was, of course, acutely aware of his own cultivation state and knew this was a sign of impending success in solidifying the pill, just one crucial step away!

He had a strong feeling that success might very well come tonight!

Therefore, during this critical moment, he dared not be the slightest bit careless!

.......

Time ticked away second by second, and outside, silence reigned!

Su Chen continued to frantically circulate his cultivation technique, caring little for the sweat on his body and forehead!

As he zealously circulated his cultivation technique, the already-transformative liquid True Yuan gradually underwent a qualitative change, becoming increasingly evident!

Su Chen maintained intense focus at all times, not daring to relax even for a moment!

...

Uncertain of how much time had passed.

Finally, a True Pill formed from the refined True Yuan floated in his Yuan Mansion, slowly rotating with a certain rhythm, surrounded by some liquid and gaseous True Yuan spinning around it!

At this moment, Su Chen suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp gleam flashed briefly before fading!

Simultaneously, an overwhelming aura emanated from his body, vastly more powerful than before!

He then quickly restrained this aura, a faint smile appearing on his face!

After such a long time, he had finally reached the true Condensation Pill Realm!

Yet at that very moment, a sudden burst of light flashed through his mind!

He immediately shivered, once again holding his breath, instinctively examining the scene within his mind!

After a while, he finally understood!

It turned out that the chapters following the Condensation Pill Realm in the Nine Yang Divine Technique had opened!

Of course, it included the cultivation methods for the Earth's Ultimate Realm and Heaven's Ultimate Realm!

But what somewhat frustrated Su Chen was that only the contents of these two realms had opened!

He internally grumbled: Can't it open a bit more, so I would know what realms follow after the Heaven's Ultimate Realm?

However, there was nothing he could do about it, consoling himself that it was still a decent gain!

At least he had the cultivation methods for these two realms, which brought some peace of mind!

Of course, this was something he had anticipated, only he was uncertain whether the content would appear right upon breaking through the Condensation Pill Realm or only after completely mastering it!

He glanced over the contents for the Earth Level Realm and Heaven's Ultimate Realm, then set them aside for the time being!

Because he didn't need them yet, having just entered the primary stage of the Condensation Pill Realm, still requiring significant time to fully master it!

.....

Having finally broken through to the Condensation Pill Realm, and opened the chapters for the next two realms in the Nine Yang Divine Technique, Su Chen naturally felt immense joy!

Only then did he realize that his clothes were entirely soaked with sweat, sticking uncomfortably to his skin!

Thus, he got out of bed and headed to the bathroom for a shower!

Before long, the sound of running water was accompanied by an unknown little tune...

Upon finishing his shower, Su Chen immediately felt much more refreshed, noticing for the first time that the eastern sky had begun to lighten!

After a whole night, he had finally succeeded in breaking through the Condensation Pill Realm!

He also understood that it wasn't the achievement of just one night, but the result of continuous cultivation buildup, having previously felt just a step away from the Condensation Pill Realm!

It was just that this night, he finally made that step, just like a push over the threshold!

....

Since he couldn't sleep anyway, he decided not to, and headed to the dining room to start preparing breakfast.

Soon, Eniel arrived, followed by Lan Xinyi and Xia Qiuru, and everyone made breakfast together.

As breakfast neared completion, the other women, including Xiao Xun, gradually joined them.

Then, they all sat down to enjoy breakfast together.

After breakfast, as expected, some went to work, some attended school, and some continued with cultivation...

...

For Su Chen, his original plan after breaking through the Condensation Pill Realm was to set off for the Ruin Realm, having already stayed in the villa for several months.

However, after some thought, he decided to stay at the villa for another half month to spend more time with them!

Su Chen also informed the ladies that he would be away for some time, the duration uncertain, possibly very short or perhaps a bit longer.

Although the women were reluctant to part, they said nothing to stop him!

Moreover, they didn't ask about his destination; Su Chen refrained from telling them to avoid causing worry!

Since the Ruin Realm was full of experts, he wasn't sure what he would face!

While his absence would naturally cause them some concern, revealing the nature of the Ruin Realm would only heighten their worries, potentially robbing them of sleep!

Knowing that Su Chen intended to leave, during this period, this mischievous fellow was occasionally up to some antics, and the women just let him be, as that was his carefree nature!

Of course, during this time, nights were busy, and there were occasions of sudden location changes, seemingly rather whimsical!

Fortunately, the women in the villa were like a family, so it really wasn't a bother!

.....

But time flies; however long it is, a day always arrives!

In the blink of an eye, twenty days had passed, five more than he initially planned!

Now, he truly should be on his way!

That night, Su Chen personally prepared a lavish dinner.

After dinner, and bidding farewell to the women and Ouyang Jing from the other courtyard, he drove away from the villa under the cover of night, heading towards Yandu Airport!

Since there was only one night flight to his destination, he had no choice but to leave at night.

In about twenty minutes, he arrived at Yandu Airport, waiting in the lounge for an hour or two, before proceeding to check in and board the plane.
