"That's a good name. Let's call it the Pavilion of Ascending to the Heavens!" Tan Yun chuckled. "I'll have them come out now and enter the Pavilion to cultivate in seclusion!"
Then, Tan Yun sent a message to everyone. Shortly after, Dantai Xian'er, Si Hong Shiyao, Nangong Yuqin, Tang Mengyi, Tang Xinying, and Gongsun Ruoxi appeared in front of Tan Yun out of thin air.
"Brother-in-law, why did you call us all out?" Xue Ziyan said playfully, wrapping her arm around Tan Yun's.
Tan Yun smiled and replied, "I've crafted a top-quality subpar Dao device magic treasure that allows thirty years of cultivation within just one day outside."
Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.
Tan Yun then made the eight great clan kings, including the heavenly slayer demon ape, golden dragon spirit lion, Mo'er, and lion-tiger divine beast little white, leave the Immortal Holy Tower and appear beside him.
Including Tan Yun, there were a total of twenty-one people present.
Twelve of them were beasts!
"Husband, we've only occupied the thirty-third floor, and there are still fifteen floors empty," Shen Subing said. "Why don't we let Xuan Yuan Rou and the others in as well?"
"Hmm." Tan Yun nodded. Looking at everyone and the beasts, he said solemnly, "Everyone, you must work hard on your cultivation. Our current situation is not optimistic!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Subing, you and the others should enter seclusion," Tan Yun instructed. "I will go to Xuan Yuan Immortal City and have Chu Xiaosa and the others join the Pavilion for cultivation."
After that, everyone and the beasts entered different floors of the Pavilion to cultivate.
The second to thirteenth floors were occupied by the twelve beasts.
The fourteenth to twenty-sixth floors were for the eight women, aside from Tan Yun's seven wives, and the five elders including Guan Xuanqi.
The forty-first to forty-eighth floors were where Tan Yun and his seven wives were in seclusion.
The first floor of the Pavilion was left empty as a council hall.
The twenty-seventh to fortieth floors were also empty.
After collecting the Pavilion, Tan Yun flew out of the mansion and soared into the City Lord's Mansion not far next door.
"Rou'er, are you available to come out of seclusion now?" Tan Yun asked softly.
"I am currently at a critical stage of breaking through to the tenth level of the emperor realm, so I cannot come out," Xuan Yuan Rou's voice echoed in Tan Yun's ears, only her voice could be heard, but she was not visible.
Tan Yun replied, "That's fine. Once you've broken through, remember to come to my mansion to find me."
After leaving this message, Tan Yun used the teleportation array and spent three hours arriving at Xuan Yuan Immortal City, where he found Chu Xiaosa, Xuan Yuan Ling Er, Xuan Yuan Chang Feng, and Xuan Yuan Hao Kong.
He invited the four of them to enter the Pavilion for cultivation.
When the four learned that one day outside equaled thirty years inside the Pavilion, they were ecstatic!
After allowing the four to enter the Pavilion, Tan Yun collected it again and proceeded to the City Defense General's Mansion in the Abandoned City.
In the mansion's courtyard, Tan Yun willed it, and the Pavilion flew out, transforming into a colossal structure of a thousand feet tall.
Then, Tan Yun entered the forty-eighth floor and began to cultivate feverishly.
In the Pavilion, fifty-eight thousand years passed in the blink of an eye, while over five years had passed outside.
During this period, Tan Yun spent sixteen thousand five hundred years advancing to the tenth level of the imperial human realm!
He spent eighteen thousand eight hundred years stepping into the eleventh level of the imperial human realm!
Finally, he spent twenty-two thousand seven hundred years to reach the twelfth level of the imperial human realm!
Just as Tan Yun was about to continue his retreat to cultivate the thirteenth level of the wind dominance body, a melodious voice rang from outside the Pavilion, "Tan Yun, I'm out of seclusion!"
Tan Yun vanished from thin air and appeared outside the hall, looking at the stunningly beautiful Xuan Yuan Rou, he asked, "You have broken through to the tenth level of the emperor realm?"
