Xiao Ning said calmly, "But the spirit of that immortal artifact is almost at the stage of transforming into a human form. Before long, it will be able to directly reach the Golden Immortal realm and ascend to the Heavenly Realm. If we make a move now, it would be tantamount to ruining its opportunity. So, do you still intend to take that immortal artifact?"
"this……"
Fang Han hesitated.
Xiao Ning asked, "The decision on this matter rests entirely in your heart. Do you want the immortal artifact, or do you want to give up the immortal artifact? Think about it carefully."
"I……"
Fang Han hesitated. On one hand, he had the power to wield a celestial artifact and dominate the world.
On one hand, it's about helping others achieve their goals, enabling them to ascend to the heavens, and forging a virtuous bond.
The former is the temptation of power, the latter is the principle of one's own heart; the conflict makes it truly difficult to decide.
"Master!"
After a long while, Fang Han's expression changed several times. Finally, he raised his head and looked at Xiao Ning with bright, piercing eyes: "I choose to grant that immortal artifact my wish!"
"very good!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ning immediately laughed loudly and said, "Good disciple, you have indeed not disappointed your master. On the path of cultivation, strength may be very important, but you must remember that strength is by no means the only pursuit in cultivation!"
"If you want to reach the summit, blindly pursuing power will only lead you further astray!"
"Only by opening one's heart and embracing the world can one transcend limits and attain the Great Way."
Upon hearing this, Fang Han seemed to understand something. For some reason, a sentence that Xiao Ning had once told him suddenly came to mind: "The bigger your heart, the bigger your world!"
In that instant, Fang Han felt as if he had entered a state of sudden enlightenment.
An endless stream of primordial energy from heaven and earth was drawn together by an invisible force, converging wildly.
In an instant, a huge vortex of primordial energy formed around Fang Han's body and began to slowly rotate.
It was as if an ancient chant from the distant heavens had been heard, and the mysterious rhythm that lay between life and death resounded throughout the entire sky in that instant.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Ning's eyes lit up. He knew that Fang Han's cheap disciple had successfully completed the third stage of his profound skill!
After a while, Fang Han withdrew his aura, his eyes filled with excitement. He could feel that his current cultivation level was comparable to those supreme experts in the Longevity Realm, but he wasn't sure which level he was at.
"Having completed the third stage of the Profound Technique, you've entered the ranks of the strong. With the aid of the Dao artifact, you now have the ability to protect yourself in the Three Thousand Great Worlds. Your master can leave with peace of mind!"
But then Fang Han heard Xiao Ning sigh softly, and what she said next startled him.
"Master is leaving? Where is he going?"
"I will return to the Immortal Realm immediately."
"Is Master going back to the Immortal Realm?"
"good."
Xiao Ning nodded and said, "After being in the mortal realm for so long, I've decided to go back. The mortal realm is still too small. Only the Immortal Realm is a place where the top figures from the three thousand worlds gather. You must work hard. I hope that one day we can reunite in the Immortal Realm!"
Fang Han was startled, and a look of realization appeared on his face. He immediately replied solemnly, "Thank you for your teachings, Master. I will keep them in mind."
After a moment's hesitation, Xiao Ning finally took a branch from the World Tree, transformed it into a small tree, and bestowed it upon Fang Han.
"This is the World Tree of the Xuanhuang Great World. It can steal immortal energy and has unparalleled creation. It is the last gift I leave to you."
Fang Han took the small World Tree, his eyes reddening.
"Master, is it absolutely necessary to leave?"
"We have no choice but to leave."
Xiao Ning laughed and said, "Don't act like a little girl. It's not like we'll never see each other again. Alright, I'm off!"
As he spoke, he slowly raised his hand and made a sweeping motion in the air. Instantly, a pitch-black void passage appeared before them.
"Respectfully bidding farewell to our Master!"
Knowing that parting was inevitable, Fang Han bowed and saw Xiao Ning off as he entered the dark and endless void passage, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Chapter 14 Immortal Realm
The Celestial Realm, also known as the Heavenly Realm, is the place where immortals reside.
Supreme and unparalleled, the origin of the world, not even belonging to the universe, it is the most vast, the most boundless, the most powerful world, the heaven above the heavens.
All the important figures in the entire world of immortality are in the Celestial Realm.
Long ago, the celestial realm was ruled by three celestial kings.
These three Celestial Kings are the Creation Celestial King, the Origin Celestial King, and the Truth Celestial King.
The three Celestial Kings each established their own power.
The Creation Immortal King founded the Heavenly Court, the Truth Immortal King founded the Holy Land of Truth, and the Origin Immortal King founded the Origin Dynasty.
There is a place in the celestial realm called the Ten Thousand Great Continents, which is the territory under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court.
After the Creation Immortal King entered the Gate of Immortality, the Heavenly Court was ruled by many Heavenly Lords under his command, such as the Eternal Heavenly Lord, the Chaos Heavenly Lord, the Calamity Heavenly Lord, the Slaughter Heavenly Lord, and the Thunder Emperor Heavenly Lord.
