Peak Time: The Hidden Power.

Since joining the Tianxuan Sect, Jing Yun and Xia Yuyue have been training even harder. Time flew by like a fleeting horse, and in the blink of an eye, they had spent four years in the sect. Jing Yun and Xia Yuyue would leave early and return late every day. In addition to their training, they would discuss various issues in their cultivation, supporting each other and progressing together.

The Tianxuan Sect in the early morning was peaceful. The rising sun cast its rays on the stone paths, creating dappled shadows through the gaps in the leaves. After their morning exercises, Jing Yun and Xia Yuyue walked along the path back to their residence, savoring the moment of tranquility.

"Jing Yun, how far do you think we are from reaching the Foundation Establishment stage?" Xia Yuyue asked softly, wiping the sweat from her forehead.

"Yuyue, our cultivation is already close to the Foundation Establishment stage. With a bit more effort, we should break through soon," Jing Yun replied, his gaze firm.

They worked twice as hard, not only helping each other in their cultivation but also frequently studying ancient texts together to understand the profound laws of nature. Time quietly passed with their relentless efforts, and their strength kept improving.

During their training, Jing Yun and Xia Yuyue faced many hardships and challenges. Once, while training in the back mountain, they were attacked by a spirit beast. It was a massive Flame Lion King, its entire body engulfed in fierce flames, exuding an intimidating aura.

"Yuyue, be careful!" Jing Yun warned, and the two swiftly entered a combat stance.

Jing Yun moved with astonishing speed to the side of the Flame Lion King, his spirit sword gleaming coldly, aiming at the beast's vital points. Meanwhile, Xia Yuyue used her water-based spells to try to suppress the flames. They cooperated seamlessly and, after a fierce battle, finally repelled the Flame Lion King.

"Jing Yun, our teamwork is getting better and better," Xia Yuyue said, panting but with a satisfied smile on her face.

"Yes, Yuyue. As long as we keep working hard, we will become even stronger," Jing Yun said, wiping his sweat, his resolve unwavering.

The path of cultivation was not smooth, but Jing Yun and Xia Yuyue never gave up. They grew through each challenge, and their strength kept increasing. Finally, at the age of sixteen, they both reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

That day, the sky above the Tianxuan Sect was exceptionally clear, as if celebrating their breakthrough. Jing Yun and Xia Yuyue sat cross-legged by the spirit pool in the back mountain, their bodies emitting a faint glow. The spiritual energy around them gradually integrated into their bodies.

"Yuyue, can you feel it? We've finally broken through," Jing Yun opened his eyes, his gaze filled with joy.

"Yes, Jing Yun, we've finally reached the Foundation Establishment stage," Xia Yuyue said, her face also brimming with happiness, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

However, Jing Yun had not fully revealed his true cultivation level. In fact, upon breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he had already reached the peak of this stage but intentionally concealed it, known only to Xia Yuyue.

"Jing Yun, are you really going to hide your cultivation?" Xia Yuyue asked, a bit worried.

"Yes, Yuyue. In the world of cultivation, keeping a low profile can sometimes be more advantageous for survival and development. I believe that when the time is right, I will naturally reveal my true strength," Jing Yun explained, his gaze resolute.

Xia Yuyue nodded, understanding Jing Yun's decision: "Alright, Jing Yun, I trust you."

Their cultivation not only improved their strength but also deepened their bond. In the long years of cultivation, Xia Yuyue and Jing Yun became the best of partners, their tacit understanding growing stronger.

The daily life of cultivation was not just monotonous. Besides their training, Jing Yun and Xia Yuyue had moments of relaxation. Every morning, Xia Yuyue would come to Jing Yun's residence, gently push open the door, and wake him up from his sleep.

"Jing Yun, get up. Today we need to go to the back mountain earlier for training," Xia Yuyue's voice was gentle yet with a hint of urgency.

Jing Yun was always woken by this familiar voice, opening his drowsy eyes to see Xia Yuyue standing by his bed, smiling and nodding: "Alright, Yuyue, I'll get up right away."

Their morning exercise became a routine, running in the early sunlight, breathing the fresh air, and feeling the flow of spiritual energy in the world. After that, they would sit by the spirit pool in the back mountain, entering deep cultivation.

In the evening, Jing Yun and Xia Yuyue would sit in their small courtyard, enjoying a moment of peace. Jing Yun liked to brew a pot of tea, quietly savoring it, while Xia Yuyue enjoyed reading some cultivation texts nearby.

"Jing Yun, look at this book 'Spiritual Energy Body Refining Technique,' it mentions a new body refining method we can try," Xia Yuyue said excitedly, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"Hmm, Yuyue, this method looks good. We can incorporate it into our training and make some improvements," Jing Yun said, looking over and showing a hint of delight.

At dinner, they would dine together in the sect's cafeteria, sharing their insights and experiences in cultivation, discussing interesting topics. Li Hao and Wang Linger would often join them, and they would chat and laugh, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

After nightfall, Jing Yun and Xia Yuyue would sit by the stone table in their courtyard, enjoying a moment of tranquility. They would talk about the day's training, their hopes for the future, and some light-hearted topics, sharing each other's laughter.

"Jing Yun, when do you think we'll break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage?" Xia Yuyue asked, her eyes full of expectation.

Jing Yun thought for a moment and smiled: "As long as we keep working hard, we will break through someday. The path of cultivation is difficult, but with firm belief, we can achieve our goals."

Xia Yuyue nodded, her expression determined: "Yes, we'll strive together for higher realms."

These simple yet fulfilling days formed Jing Yun and Xia Yuyue's daily life in the Tianxuan Sect. They grew in their cultivation, supported each other, and pursued the peak of their cultivation together.

One day, while training in the back mountain of the sect, Jing Yun suddenly felt a change in his spiritual energy. After some contemplation, he decided to break through to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage and enter a new realm.

"Yuyue, I feel it. Today might be an opportunity," Jing Yun said solemnly, his eyes fixed on the spirit pool ahead.

"Jing Yun, you mean…" Xia Yuyue's eyes flashed with surprise and anticipation.

"Yes, I want to break through to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage," Jing Yun nodded firmly, sitting cross-legged by the spirit pool and beginning to circulate his spiritual energy.

Xia Yuyue stood by to protect him, ensuring there were no disturbances. Jing Yun's body gradually became enveloped in a faint spiritual light, and the spiritual energy in the pool continuously flowed into his body as if to purify him thoroughly.

As time passed, Jing Yun's aura became more stable and profound. Suddenly, a powerful burst of spiritual energy erupted from his body, shaking the entire spirit pool.

"Jing Yun, did you succeed?" Xia Yuyue asked nervously, her eyes full of anticipation.

Jing Yun slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with joy and satisfaction: "Yuyue, I succeeded. I've broken through to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage."

Xia Yuyue smiled brightly, her eyes sparkling: "That's great, Jing Yun. I knew you could do it!"

Jing Yun looked at Xia Yuyue, feeling her genuine happiness, and his heart was full of gratitude: "Yuyue, thank you for your companionship and support. I couldn't have come this far without you."

Xia Yuyue shook her head and smiled: "Jing Yun, we're the best partners. We should support each other and progress together."

Their cultivation not only improved their strength but also deepened their bond. In the long years of cultivation, Xia Yuyue and Jing Yun became the best of partners, their tacit understanding growing stronger. Although the path of cultivation was full of challenges and hardships, as long as they had each other's companionship, they believed they could overcome any difficulties and reach the peak of cultivation.

After breaking through to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, Jing Yun and Xia Yuyue's teamwork and strength improved significantly. However, the path of cultivation was far from over; they knew their current achievements were just a small step on the long journey of cultivation.

The early morning in the Tianxuan Sect was tranquil with the morning light shining through a thin layer of mist that enveloped the entire sect. Jing Yun and Xia Yuyue finished their morning exercises early, standing by the spirit pool in the back mountain, feeling the flow of spiritual energy.

"Jing Yun, although we've broken through the Foundation Establishment stage, we still need more training," Xia Yuyue said, looking at the distant mountains with determination in her eyes.

"Yes, Yuyue. The next stage of cultivation requires more practical combat and experience," Jing Yun agreed, his gaze filled with determination.

As they discussed their future training plans, an urgent bell rang through the sect, breaking the morning tranquility. The disciples of the Tianxuan Sect immediately gathered at the main square, murmuring among themselves.

"Something must have happened," Xia Yuyue said, looking at Jing Yun with a hint of worry.

"Let's go and see," Jing Yun nodded, and they quickly headed towards the main square.

Upon arriving at the square, they saw that it was already crowded with many disciples discussing in low voices. Jing Yun and Xia Yuyue squeezed through the crowd, just in time to see the sect elder standing on the platform with a serious expression.

"Disciples, I've summoned you here today because we received news that a group of evil cultivators has been active nearby, posing a serious threat to our Tianxuan Sect's safety," the elder's voice was loud and grave, and the disciples in the square showed worried expressions.

"Evil cultivators? How dare they come to our territory?" a disciple asked in surprise.

The elder continued: "These evil cultivators act very secretly, living off the essence of living beings, and their methods are cruel. To protect the sect, we've decided to send some disciples to eliminate this evil threat."

Hearing this, Jing Yun and Xia Yuyue exchanged a resolute look. Jing Yun whispered, "Yuyue, this is a rare training opportunity. We should participate."

"Hmm, I think so too," Xia Yuyue agreed.

The elder announced: "This task is very dangerous but also an excellent opportunity to enhance your strength and gain experience. All disciples willing to participate, please come forward to register. Remember, on the path of cultivation, crises and opportunities coexist. I hope you can gain something from this task."

The disciples started signing up, and Jing Yun and Xia Yuyue did not hesitate to step forward and write their names on the register.

After the registration, the elder explained the details and precautions of the task. Jing Yun and Xia Yuyue listened intently, understanding that this task was not only a challenge but also an opportunity to enhance themselves.

Back at their residence, Jing Yun and Xia Yuyue prepared for the upcoming task, organizing their cultivation resources and equipment, and checking each other's condition to ensure everything was in order.

"Jing Yun, although this task is dangerous, we must be cautious and not underestimate the enemy," Xia Yuyue reminded, a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Don't worry, Yuyue. I'll take care of myself and protect you," Jing Yun replied with a smile, his eyes firm.

That evening, they sat by the stone table in their courtyard. Jing Yun brewed a pot of tea, and the night breeze brought a slight chill.

"Jing Yun, what do you think we'll gain from this task?" Xia Yuyue asked, taking a sip of tea.

"We'll definitely gain something. As long as we give our all, any challenge can turn into an opportunity for growth," Jing Yun said, his gaze filled with confidence.

Xia Yuyue nodded and smiled: "Yes, we'll strive together, and the future will surely be better."

The next morning, Jing Yun and Xia Yuyue got up early, full of energy, and headed to the main square to join the other disciples who had signed up for the task. Led by the elder, they embarked on the mission to eliminate the evil cultivators.

As the sky brightened, Jing Yun and Xia Yuyue stood in the crowd, their eyes filled with determination as they looked ahead. They knew that the road ahead was full of unknowns and dangers, but with each other's support and firm belief, they were confident they could overcome all obstacles and embrace a bright future.
