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

A small jade bottle containing medicinal pills appeared in Lu Ye's hand in an instant.

Inside, two round pills lay quietly.

Although he did not conduct any more specific draws afterward, random draws continued.

These two Heavenly Realm Pills were obtained through a stroke of luck during so many random draws.

Furthermore, apart from the first one being a mid-grade Heavenly Realm Pill, the second one was not an ordinary Heavenly Realm Pill, but a one-pattern pill!
A faint circle of cinnabar patterns encircles the pill, making its extraordinary nature immediately apparent.

Putting away the jade bottle containing the two Heavenly Realm Pills for the time being, Lu Ye exhaled a breath of turbid air, closed his eyes again, and began to refine the remaining Azure Lotus Seeds.

The unusual nature of this mountain range was also noticed by cultivators who occasionally passed by.

However, once inside the Bewildering Heaven Palace, many cultivators held the same plan: avoid places that looked suspicious...

In this situation, if some rare and precious treasure has appeared, it's worth trying to find out.

But right now, it's clearly not the appearance of rare and precious treasures.

When these cultivators passed by this place, they all chose to take a detour to avoid it, just to be on the safe side.

"If this commotion wasn't caused by the appearance of rare and precious treasures... then it must have been caused by someone cultivating?"

"Who could cultivate with such a large scale? I estimate the range is at least several dozen miles."

Several mortals traveling together whispered among themselves.

Suddenly, a red-faced mortal thought for a moment and whispered, "Could it be... that person? The one who defeated the Sea Spirit Saintess before? If it's because he was cultivating here that such a commotion occurred, I could believe it to some extent."

The one who defeated Xiao Yudie... Chen Beixuan?!
The name flashed through their minds, and these mortals all gave a bitter smile.

"If he is cultivating here, it is indeed possible. After all, the fact that he has reached such a level at such a young age already shows that his cultivation method is absolutely astonishing."

Once this viewpoint was expressed, everyone else nodded in agreement.

"Hurry up and leave! Regardless of whether he's cultivating here or not, didn't you see... there are still ferocious beasts running out from inside? It's terrifying!" Without hesitation, the group quickly fled from the ancient forest.

Lu Ye was unaware of what was happening outside; he was completely immersed in refining energy and improving his cultivation.

After reaching the ninth level of the Earth Realm, the capacity of the dantian becomes even more terrifying.

Originally, ten lotus seeds could have helped Lu Ye advance from the eighth to the ninth level of the Earth Realm. However, after swallowing the remaining ten, he could only barely reach the mid-stage of the ninth level of the Earth Realm.

He was significantly stronger than those cultivators who had just entered the ninth level, but ultimately he still did not reach the late stage of the ninth level.

"A resource-devouring tycoon. If I didn't have some savings, I wouldn't be able to support myself." Seeing this, Lu Ye shook his head helplessly.

However, he also knew that a large amount of resources were indeed essential to achieve such a rapid advancement.

Without these resources, plus the small boost from the hundredfold increase, I would probably need several years, or even ten years, to advance one realm beyond the Earth Realm, just like everyone else.

"Since the Azure Lotus Seeds alone aren't enough, fortunately we also got fifty Source Crystals from that kind-hearted Saintess of the Sea Spirit..."

The source crystals in his possession were being consumed very quickly; now, including those contributed by the Sea Spirit Saintess, he only had two or three hundred left.

Each cultivation session consumes at least several dozen coins, enough to make even geniuses from forces like Lingyao Heavenly Palace and Hailing Palace gasp in astonishment.

Even with their background, they had never been able to use Source Crystals so extravagantly.

After thanking Xiao Yudie, Lu Ye instantly grasped ten Origin Crystals in his hand, and wisps of Origin Qi flowed directly into his body. Immediately, his cultivation level, which had stalled at the mid-stage of the ninth level of the Earth Realm, began to rise slowly again…

the other side.

At this moment, Qingyu also stabilized his realm at the mid-stage of the first level of the Earth Realm.

Of course, much of the credit comes from the blue lotus seeds that were allocated to them.

The lower one's cultivation level, the more help a lotus seed can provide.

As Qingyu slowly finished her cultivation and stepped out of the secluded mountain cave chosen for her by her son-in-law, she suddenly discovered that almost all the primordial energy of heaven and earth in the area had disappeared.

"This...was it absorbed by me, or by the son-in-law over there?!"

Qingyu's mind went blank for a moment. She remembered that before entering this ancient forest, it was a place rich in Origin Qi.

Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have chosen to cultivate here.

But now...

"Is the son-in-law's absorption ability also this abnormal... Even the Devourer of Heaven in the Holy Mountain, which is said to be able to devour all living beings... has about the same absorption efficiency."

As this thought crossed her mind, Qingyu was surprised to find that her son-in-law, despite being human, had absorbed an amount of energy that was even comparable to the guardian beasts of the Beast Spirit Sacred Mountain!
That guardian beast is one of the trump cards of the Beast Spirit Sacred Mountain!

His strength is as deep as the ocean, and it is rumored that he is already comparable to a perfected being in the Celestial Realm.

It's about the same speed at which it refines Origin Qi as a guardian beast that devours the heavens, or even if it's a little slower, it's still extremely terrifying.

Suddenly, a huge black cloud began to gather in the previously cloudless sky.

In an instant, it enveloped the entire ancient forest, and a somber atmosphere slowly permeated the air.

At the same time, within the dark, billowing clouds, faint white arcs of lightning flickered, as if a world-destroying power was gathering.

"Thundercloud?!"

Qingyu was dumbfounded. How could thunderclouds suddenly appear here?
Unless someone is breaking through to a higher realm!
Qingyu wasn't stupid; soon, Lu Ye's image appeared in her mind.

"No, the young master was already able to fight and defeat the Holy Maiden of the Sea Spirit Palace before, he should have been at the Heavenly Realm long ago..."

After thinking about it, Qingyu discovered some more suspicious points.

If their son-in-law wasn't at the Heavenly Realm before... then how could he have crossed such a large realm and faced Xiao Yudie head-on?!
But if the son-in-law's current breakthrough to a higher realm is from the Heavenly Realm to the Celestial Human Realm... that's not right either.

If Lu Ye had been at the eighth or ninth level of the Heavenly Realm at that time, he could have easily made Xiao Yudie admit defeat with a simple wave of his hand.

For a moment, Qingyu felt her mind was in complete chaos.

At this moment, dark thunderclouds gathered in the sky, threatening to crush the entire mountain range.

All eyes on the second floor of the Mystic Heaven Palace were turned toward this place.

"What's going on over there? Why are so many thunderclouds suddenly gathering? Who is breaking through to a higher realm and undergoing tribulation?"

"But I remember that when the Holy Son broke through to the Heavenly Realm, it wasn't with this kind of fanfare. Back then, a small patch of dark clouds appeared. After all, the true tribulation of lightning only appears when someone breaks through from the Heavenly Realm to the Celestial Realm..." (End of Chapter)
