Until noon.
Xiao Jiu and Feng Tu Tu both broke through and began to stabilize their cultivation.
Only Wudao’s side had not yet shown significant movement.
Wudao’s experience in the East Sea War Department allowed him to break and rebuild. Coupled with his return to the Wujian Prison and witnessing the death of Xue Shou, his anger surged, unexpectedly allowing him to break through the Kai Ling realm and step into the Foundation Establishment realm!
However, after entering the Foundation Establishment realm, Wudao experienced another fierce battle, and his realm was not stable. If it weren't for Ye Kunlun healing him and stabilizing his realm, he would not only have fallen out of the Foundation Establishment realm but might not have even been able to retain the Kai Ling realm!
Last night, Wudao took a long time to calm down before taking the Foundation Establishment Pill. When he felt the Foundation Establishment Pill begin to take effect, he immersed himself entirely in the spiritual energy. Time flew by.
Wudao felt his body become incredibly light, as if he had ascended into the sky. He saw a wondrous sight: endless spiritual energy converged, forming a gigantic vortex. Within that colossal vortex, there was a faint door, seeming to beckon him to step into the vortex and push open that door. Wudao did not hesitate much and took a step towards the gigantic vortex.
With a thunderous roar, the terrifying power within the vortex transformed into waves of scalding hot currents that surged into his body.
"Ah—"
The pain of being immersed in boiling water caused Wudao to let out a roar. The power within the vortex churned, surging into his body, his Dantian! As the scalding power poured in, Wudao clearly felt a scorching heat begin to rise abruptly within his Dantian, as if countless flames were burning. As the scorching heat intensified, a small vortex began to form within Wudao's Dantian. As time passed, the vortex spun faster and faster, and terrifying power was compressed with its increasing speed.
Simultaneously, the clear sky outside instantly darkened. The clouds in the sky churned and rolled, emitting rumbling sounds. Streaks of lightning flashed across the sky, like giant dragons galloping wildly in the heavens. Around the Wujian Prison, plants and trees also began to tremble with this aura! They could feel the power condensing within Wudao!
Ye Kunlun's gaze pierced through the void, falling directly onto Wudao, sensing his ever-strengthening aura. He could clearly see the spiritual energy vortex in Wudao's Dantian spinning and shrinking madly. He knew that Wudao was about to step into the Condensation Core realm!
The condensation of a core, like refining a top-grade Heavenly Elixir, would attract heavenly tribulations. However, with Ye Kunlun guarding him, the heavenly tribulation of the Condensation Core realm was nothing to Ye Kunlun!
However, Ye Kunlun did not intend to block this lightning tribulation for Wudao. Although heavenly tribulations were terrifying, they also brought immense benefits to cultivators. The physical strength tempered by the heavenly tribulation would be far superior to that of other cultivators, and at the same level, they would far surpass those who had not undergone tribulation tempering.
"Wudao, you must endure the upcoming heavenly tribulation yourself. If you can withstand it, you will be a strong cultivator in the Condensation Core realm and will soar to great heights!" Ye Kunlun's voice directly echoed in Wudao's sea of consciousness.
Hearing Ye Kunlun’s words, Wudao suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils flashing with an unusual light and a determined expression!
Rumble—
Just as the spiritual energy vortex in Wudao's Dantian was about to materialize, a lightning bolt as thick as an arm struck down from the sky! Wudao leaped up, breaking through the roof, and shot towards the sky to meet the terrifying heavenly tribulation.
Boom—
Wudao bore the lightning tribulation with his own body. His clothes instantly turned to ashes! Innumerable wounds snaked across his sturdy physique, bleeding profusely! Wudao's face turned pale, and with a thud, he fell to the ground. He knew he had survived the heavenly tribulation.
The next second, the spiritual energy vortex in his Dantian instantly transformed into a dark blue golden core! As the golden core condensed, waves of powerful energy surged from his body, akin to an ocean in a storm. Simultaneously, terrifying power flowed towards Wudao’s wounds, and within a few breaths, his injuries were healed.
Wudao flashed back into the room. When he reappeared, he was wearing clothes. He didn't want Feng Tu Tu and Xiao Jiu to see him naked when they came out!
"Congratulations!"
The next second, Xiao Jiu and Feng Tu Tu had already arrived in the courtyard, speaking in unison. They could feel the vast and terrifying power emanating from Wudao, far surpassing their own. Wudao forced a smile, "Same to you!" This was the first time he had smiled sincerely in days.
Ye Kunlun left his room and looked at the three who had successfully broken through.
"Young Master!"
The three had looks of excitement on their faces. Without Ye Kunlun's Foundation Establishment Pills, they would never have achieved their current cultivation in their lifetime.
"Although your current cultivation is not weak, there is still a gap compared to the top experts of the ancient sects." Ye Kunlun poured cold water on the three.
"Young Master, above the Foundation Establishment realm is the Condensation Core realm. What is above the Condensation Core realm?" The three calmed down, and Wudao asked.
"Above the Condensation Core realm are the three major realms of Microscopic Control, Manifestation, and Spiritual Containment!" Ye Kunlun explained to the three.
Hearing Ye Kunlun’s words, the three looked somewhat pale. They had initially thought that by entering the Foundation Establishment realm, they had entered the ranks of top-tier experts. They never imagined there were so many realms above! Especially Wudao, he clenched his fists tightly and asked Ye Kunlun, "Young Master, what is Changsun Yuan's realm?"
Ye Kunlun sighed and replied indifferently, "Spiritual Containment Realm!" Wudao's face turned a little paler!
"Changsun Ji is in the Foundation Establishment realm. If you face him again, you can easily kill him!" Ye Kunlun quickly added, fearing Wudao would be discouraged.
"Young Master, it turns out we are so far behind, like frogs at the bottom of a well." Feng Tu Tu pursed her lips, looking dejected.
"The Spiritual Containment realm is already the peak of this world. Even the Spiritual Containment realm cultivators in the ancient sects are few and far between."
"Furthermore, you are still young. Even if there are cultivators in the Foundation Establishment or Condensation Core realms in the ancient sects, they are all old monsters who have lived for hundreds of years!"
"I am telling you this not to discourage you, but to give you motivation for cultivation, to encourage each other, and to always remain vigilant!"
"I believe that even if you face the younger generation of the ancient sects, you will be able to crush them!"
"As for those old fossils, leave them to me." Ye Kunlun's gaze was sharp. He had a premonition that he would soon have to confront people from the ancient sects. At that time, there would be another bloody storm, a river of blood!
"In addition, I will refine some Spirit Breaking Pills for Mu Qi, Mu Ba, Shi San Qin Tian Qi, and the others. The overall strength of the Wujian Prison needs to be improved!"
"Wudao and Tu Tu, go and prepare some medicinal materials." Ye Kunlun gave instructions.
"Yes!" The two accepted the orders.
"Young Master, what about me?" Xiao Jiu quickly asked.
Ye Kunlun replied calmly, "Prepare yourself. In two days, you will accompany me to the Sui and Ji families to retrieve the Wordless Book!"
