The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

Chapter 419 Breakthrough to the Ninth Level! Lei Xuanguo, Lei Hu, who was chasing the three from the Western Region, was preparing to ask Lu Ye for help?
Beside the sacred pool in the dense forest.

Xiao Qingyin was in the middle of cultivation when she was also awakened by the strange white and purple lightning.

"What kind of heavenly lightning is this?!"

Xiao Qingyin frowned, feeling that her knowledge reserves seemed to be a bit insufficient.

"Who is attempting to break through to the Earth Realm Grandmaster stage within the secret realm?"

The same thought immediately crossed Xiao Qingyin's mind.

After all, only breakthroughs in major realms have a certain possibility of causing such a shocking change.

But upon thinking of this, Xiao Qingyin was suddenly startled.

Because... there really is someone breaking through at this moment, and they're not far from me!
It's Lu Ye?!

He's making a breakthrough!

"He...is at the Grandmaster level in the Breakthrough Realm?!"

Considering that Lu Ye had once killed a ninth-level Grandmaster of the Mortal Realm with a single finger, Xiao Qingyin became even more certain of this guess.

A slight sense of loss followed.

Because once Lu Ye completes his breakthrough and advances to the Earth Realm Grandmaster, then... he will also leave.

The laws of the secret realm would not allow a Grandmaster of the Earth Realm to appear in the Yunyao Secret Realm.

"If one truly achieves the status of a Grandmaster of the Earth Realm, it would be better to leave."

Pulling herself back to reality, Xiao Qingyin gazed silently at the figure shrouded in the hazy white mist in the distance.

The white and purple lightning lasted for about twenty minutes before it began to dissipate.

At that moment, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from within the dense forest, spreading in all directions.

The moment this aura erupted, Xiao Qingyin, who was only a hundred meters away, felt a strong tremor in her heart.

There are many high-level ferocious beasts in this mountain range, and they are all intimidated by the aura that has been unleashed.

A spirit tiger, which had just swallowed a spirit fruit and was in a deep sleep digesting it, suddenly jolted awake.

Immediately, the tiger looked around the cave with puzzled eyes, sensed the outside world, and found no movement. Then it lay down comfortably and continued to sleep.

In the dense forest.

"The breakthrough is complete? Then... he should be teleported away soon."

Thinking of this, Xiao Qingyin immediately looked towards Lu Ye.

But after a few seconds, there was still no other sound from the other side.

There was no sign of any teleportation gate or the power of the secret realm's laws.

Xiao Qingyin frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong. Shouldn't she have been teleported away?

Could it be that the laws governing the secret realms are lagging behind?

Just then, Lu Ye, who had already broken through and advanced to the ninth level of the mortal realm Grandmaster, emerged from the dried-up spirit pool and landed beside Xiao Qingyin.

Seeing that Xiao Qingyin seemed to be thinking about something, Lu Ye asked curiously, "What are you thinking about? Let's go."

Xiao Qingyin: "?"

Why is he still here?!
What happened to the promise that the secret realm couldn't accommodate a true Earth Realm Grandmaster?
Or is it that this strange phenomenon just now had nothing to do with him, and was not at all due to Lu Ye's breakthrough?
"You...you haven't broken through to the Earth Realm Grandmaster?" Xiao Qingyin asked, coming back to her senses.

Hearing this, Lu Ye found it somewhat amusing: "When did you start to think I looked like a Grandmaster of the Earth Realm?"

Xiao Qingyin: "..."

It seems this person never actually mentioned that he was a ninth-level Grandmaster of the Mortal Realm and was about to break through to the Earth Realm.

But if he wasn't also a ninth-level Grandmaster, how could he have managed to kill a ninth-level Grandmaster in one strike?!

Xiao Qingyin had seen cross-border battles before, but the higher the realm, the more difficult it became...

If he's not at the ninth level, then what level is he at?
...

For the next two days, Xiao Qingyin and Lu Ye traveled through the secret realm towards the place where the Mirror Sea opened.

On one hand, they collected medicinal herbs and other items they encountered along the way. However, it seemed that several groups of people had already passed by on this road.

The journey was mostly empty, with no gains, including no encounters with medicinal herbs or ferocious beasts.

Fortunately, the two collected quite a few medicinal herbs in that yam garden.

Night time.

The two stopped their journey and prepared to find a place with a wide view to make a fire and spend the night.

Suddenly……

A faint noise came from a distance behind, as if someone was heading this way.

At the same time, faint roars could be heard through the night, like the howls of beasts.

As they drew closer, Lu Ye turned his head and looked at the night sky over there, his eyes instantly narrowing.

It was a small team of three people, two men and one woman, all of whom possessed the aura of a Grandmaster in the Mortal Realm.

One of them possessed the aura of a female cultivator...

Lu Ye sensed it for a moment and found that he had actually encountered it before, twice in fact.

In fact, He Ding, who had been hiding in the bushes and fleeing in panic, was not paying any attention to Wu Jing and had not noticed her at all.

Lu Ye had already discovered it.

Before leaving, his last glance was also in the direction where Wu Jing was hiding.

As for the second time, when Lu Ye was absorbing the spirit pool, he deliberately left a trace of his spiritual sense outside to observe the surrounding situation.

Lu Ye knew that the three people had entered within a hundred meters and then quickly retreated.

Unexpectedly, when they encountered the three again, they were being chased and forced to flee in a miserable state by a powerful tiger-like beast.

All three men had injuries, and one of the men had lost half of his arm.

Behind them, a ferocious late-stage fifth-tier Thunder Tiger, seemingly surrounded by lightning, roared incessantly and burst with speed, closely following.

Wu Jing and the other two did not expect that after they left the dense forest of the spirit pool, they would actually discover another opportunity during their exploration.

A Thunderfruit Tree!
The Thunder Profound Fruit is a fifth-tier spiritual fruit. If one can refine it and obtain a trace of thunder power contained within to temper one's physique...

For any cultivator, this is an absolute enhancement.

The three of them immediately went to the Thunder Profound Fruit Tree and picked all ten ripe Thunder Profound Fruits.

Before they could even discuss how to divide the spoils, a ferocious Thunder Tiger suddenly appeared and began to relentlessly pursue the three of them.

The three immediately fled, and along the way, they did try to escape separately.

However, after they separated, Zhou Qing, who was a mid-stage Grandmaster in the Mortal Realm, was directly chosen as the first weak point to be attacked, and one of his arms was torn off.

Left with no other choice, Zhou Qing could only forcibly seal the wound and head towards Liu Zheng.

Even with Liu Zheng and the already injured Zhou Qing, they were no match for the tiger. With no other option, the two could only flee towards Wu Jing's direction...

So the three of them fled with all their might.

Occasionally, when the Thunder Tiger caught up and attacked, the three of them would fight back with all their might, barely managing to hold the situation in place and prevent another person from being lost.

Seeing the firelight, Zhou Qing's pale face lit up with joy, and he quickly said, "There's a firelight over there! There must be someone there! Let's go ask for help!"

Wu Jing hesitated and said, "Wouldn't that be inappropriate? What if the other party is weaker than us? If we lure this tiger over, wouldn't we be harming them?"

"At this point, I can't worry about anything else!" Zhou Qing had lost a lot of energy and his strength had been greatly reduced. He knew that if he continued to run away like this, he would be the first to run out of energy.

Needless to say, at that time it would have been a dead end.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Zheng said, "Let's go and take a look. This might be our only chance."

"If the opponent is not strong enough and can't help us, we can just keep running. The Thunder Profound Fruit is on the three of us. This mad tiger has been chasing us for so long, and it will only chase you and us and won't stop."
