Lu Xuan could vaguely sense that his time in this world was running out. He needed to go back and prepare for the final matters.
On the surface, the Hidden Immortal Sect may not seem to be doing anything, but in reality, they have already begun making preparations.
First, Lu Xuan and Hongyu led Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu into an intensive seclusion.
This time, Lu Xuan truly gave Zhang Xiaofan everything he knew, imparting all the Taoist techniques and supernatural abilities he could learn.
Lin Jingyu also received Hongyu's true teachings. Hongyu originally wanted to give him a wisp of her own sword intent, but Lin Jingyu ultimately refused. As a sword cultivator, if one cannot transcend one's own sword path, then one is not a true sword cultivator.
The two disciples also sensed something.
"Master, are you leaving?"
"That's right, the time is almost up. I will be taking a portion of the people away from this world. But the Hidden Immortal Sect will continue to exist. And it will need you to continue to maintain it."
"Master, isn't it about ascending to the Immortal Realm?"
"The Immortal Realm? The Immortal Realm may exist in this world, but it is definitely not the place I want to go. That's why I need the Hidden Immortal Sect to continue existing. Do you understand what I mean?"
Lu Xuan couldn't explain this matter clearly because he couldn't explain his time travel process to the natives.
However, the two disciples obediently stated that they would definitely protect the Hidden Immortal Sect.
Lu Xuan extended his stay in this world as much as possible. After about ten years, Lu Xuan felt that this was his limit.
Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu are now capable of standing on their own. In terms of cultivation, they are even stronger than Dao Xuan was at his peak. This level of cultivation is enough for them to intimidate the entire cultivation world.
As Zhang Xiaofan's wife, Biyao's status is naturally unquestionable. Lu Xuan provides her with considerable resources. Her skill level is at least at the Dao Xuan level.
With these three top experts in charge, the Hidden Immortal Sect is already the strongest in the world. However, the Hidden Immortal Sect's power is far from over.
Firstly, because of Biyao, the Hidden Immortal Sect and the Ghost King Sect are essentially in a defensive alliance. In the world of cultivation, this is a valuable resource.
Secondly, the Hidden Immortal Sect has other forces protecting them. First and foremost are Xiao Bai, her son, and her daughter-in-law. A nine-tailed, a six-tailed, and a three-tailed demon—these three great demons are already members of the Hidden Immortal Sect. After Xiao Bai was rescued by Lu Xuan, she settled down in the Hidden Immortal Sect.
At the same time, she is also trying to rebuild her clan, which is no simple task. But once she succeeds, the Hidden Immortal Sect will have a powerful ally.
Furthermore, the Blackwater Serpent has become the guardian beast of the Hidden Immortal Sect. However, the outside world is completely unaware that it has transformed into a human. This allows it to remain hidden within the Hidden Immortal Sect, a hidden measure left behind by Lu Xuan. Zhang Xiaofan and his group operate in the open, while the Blackwater Serpent remains in the shadows, forming a protective shield for each other, jointly safeguarding the Hidden Immortal Sect.
Meanwhile, many disciples of the Hidden Immortal Sect have begun to distinguish themselves. The strongest disciple is now vaguely approaching the cultivation level of the head of the Azure Cloud Sect. The remaining disciples are mostly elite disciples from various sects. There's no way around it; the resources of the Hidden Immortal Sect are simply too abundant.
Their variety of elixirs and cultivation techniques far surpasses that of other sects. Furthermore, their superior skill in weapon crafting allows most of them to possess multiple magical treasures. As a result, their combat strength is significantly above average.
With so many advantages, even if Lu Xuan and the others leave, the Hidden Immortal Sect still has the ability to suppress the entire cultivation world in this era of Jade Dynasty 2.0.
Seeing that the Hidden Immortal Sect was ready, Lu Xuan finally prepared to leave. In reality, many things were still unprepared, but things are never perfect.
The demiplane is still evolving slowly. It will be a long time before it becomes a true world. But it's already much better than it was in the beginning.
This time, Lu Xuan was even more cautious. He had forcibly postponed his departure from this world. Both the power of time travel and the Heavenly Dao of this world were already impatient.
The power of time travel is forcing him to travel to the next world. Meanwhile, the power of Heaven is constantly searching for his weaknesses, preparing to strike him dead with lightning.
Ultimately, Lu Xuan, in this state, hid in his own little world and began his next journey through time.

Chapter 473 Cultivation Novice Han Paopao
Tainan Valley.
This is considered a weak spiritual vein. Because it's so weak, no cultivation families or sects occupy it. However, some independent cultivators often gather here, and over time it has become a regular meeting place for lower-level cultivators.
Later, some cultivation families and nearby cultivation sects joined in, setting up arrays and restrictions on the site. They established a cultivation trade market called the Tai Nan Small Gathering. This trade was essentially designed specifically for the surrounding independent cultivators and young disciples from various sects.
Each session has several senior elders who oversee the market to ensure normal transactions.
On this day, the Tai Nan Small Gathering arrived as scheduled. Young disciples from various sects gathered in Tai Nan Valley to prepare for trade. Here, talismans, spiritual vision, spirit beasts, elixirs, and even cultivation techniques could be freely traded. Moreover, no one else was allowed to interfere.
However, this so-called non-interference is merely lip service. Several sects and cultivation families control this area; are they really doing this to ensure that outsiders cannot interfere?
However, today, the Tai Nan Small Gathering received an uninvited guest. Not just uninvited, but arguably an unwelcome guest. The guest barged into the Tai Nan Small Gathering without any prior notice. The surrounding array shattered instantly like bubbles, offering no resistance whatsoever.
The organizer, Daoist Yan Zhen, had a drastic change in expression. Seeing the young man appear before him, his two disciples were about to step forward to check on him when Yan Zhen hurriedly pulled them back.
With a thud, Yan Zhen immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to raise her head, and said to Lu Xuan.
"I was unaware of your arrival, senior. Please forgive me." Yan Zhen's voice trembled. He knew that although the Tai Nan Small Gathering was prepared for lower-level cultivators, several cultivation sects had disciples trading here. To ensure safety, the surrounding formations were jointly set up by several cultivation sects.
Even those in the late Foundation Establishment stage cannot force a breakthrough. Even those in the Golden Core stage need to make a commotion. But this time, the people who came completely ignored the surrounding formations!
Yan Zhen was an old cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage. His skill level was average, but his knowledge was decent. He was very clear about one thing: the so-called lower-level cultivators were only relative. Those Qi Refining stage disciples and rogue cultivators were lower-level cultivators in the eyes of them, the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
However, in the real world of cultivation, these Foundation Establishment stage cultivators are actually considered lower-level cultivators to the big figures in the cultivation world.
Moreover, in the true cultivation world, those high-level cultivators are all unpredictable and capricious. For those rogue cultivators, or even small sects, a single misstep could lead to their complete annihilation. Therefore, the moment he saw Lu Xuan, he knew that this was a 'high-level' cultivator.
For these cultivators, the so-called Tainan Small Gathering, the so-called immortal cultivation families, and the surrounding small sects were all far too insignificant! In order to avoid bringing disaster upon his family, he decisively backed down.
Lu Xuan stood with his back to him, not even glancing back, and simply waved his hand. Yan Zhen felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He dragged his two juniors away, scrambling and stumbling.
Only then did he realize that the protective array around him, which had just been destroyed, had somehow returned to normal. It was as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion. But Lu Xuan was clearly standing right behind him. Thinking this, he quickly turned around, only to find that Lu Xuan was nowhere to be seen.
Yan Zhen: "????......"
A gathering of Tai Nan's caliber naturally wouldn't attract Lu Xuan. However, this is where Han Laomo's dream began, so he still had to come and witness it.
