"I broke through!" Lu Ming shouted with excitement.
His body gradually returned to dullness, as if he were a mortal instead.
"Congratulations, Lu Ming," Fang Yin nodded his head with a smile on his face.
"Congratulations, Ancestor Lu," Lu Zhen and Lu Qing also said with a bow.
"Hmm," Lu Ming nodded his head as he extended his hand, and a ray of green light instantly shot out of his hand, directly hitting the wall of the room.
Boom!
Strangely, there was no damage done to the wall. However, soon a small plant started to grow from the wall, extending outwards until it reached maturity, its flower sprouting quickly.
Lu Ming moved his hand, and the plant moved with his will as well before he finally tightened his fist, and the entire plant was destroyed in seconds.
However, that didn't end there. From the location where the light beam had landed, a small amount of twinkling green orbs returned back to Lu Ming, entering his body.
Lu Zhen's eyebrows raised upon seeing this. "Is this the famous Qi returning to the body that every middle first-stage martial artist could do?"
"Yes, it is," Lu Ming nodded with a smile. "With every single increase in the smaller realm, a first-stage martial artist's strength significantly increases."
Lu Zhen nodded in understanding.
"Hey, Lu Ming, the army is closing in on us soon," Fang Yin suddenly spoke, his expression turning grim.
"If there is a war, we must face it. Lu Zhen, I trust you can handle the army; we will take care of the big gun, okay?" Lu Ming looked at Lu Zhen.
"Okay," Lu Zhen nodded.

"I will first consolidate my realm, then we will prepare."
Lu Ming said as he casually made a swipe of his hand, creating a nihilith dimension and entering it.
Fang Yin also shook his head. "I have some important matters, so I will come back after some time as well."
"How interesting, Xiaolong Gui, you really dared to play tricks even now," Lu Zhen muttered. If he hadn't spotted these things, it could have resulted in catastrophic events, not only for him but for the entire town as well if Xiaolong Gui was freed.
His crimson gaze flickered as he refocused on the centipede again.
"This is the king of bugs, which can control the mind of its victim..."
Lu Zhen's crimson eyes flashed with a golden hue.
[Spiritual Mind Gu]
[Rank: Unranked]
[Remark: the king of bugs that is created with the thousands of bugs all put on the fighting pedestal until one comes out on top, which naturally, after killing a million bugs in the process, these Gu can control the minds of the people if it can fester itself deep enough with longer time]
Just as Lu Zhen was studying the panel, the centipede made a bttz sound as it opened its mouth, releasing poison directly at Lu Zhen.
Lu Zhen raised his brows in amusement and casually dodged the poison, tightening his grip on the bug just enough to immobilise it completely without bursting it open.
"I will take these gifts from Xiaolong Gui for now," Lu Zhen chuckled as he looked at Lu Qing, who had already recovered from the pain.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes, I am, thank you, leader." Lu Qing bowed while curiously glancing at the centipede.
"This is a spiritual Gu," Lu Zhen said with a nonchalant tone, "if it had remained on your brain for long, it would have taken full control of your body."
Lu Qing shivered when she heard this.
"Even I would not have been able to save you after it completely took over your brain," Lu Zhen added.
Hearing this, she started to tremble even more.
"Sigh, let's go to Xiaolong Gui's room. That woman needs some punishment," Lu Zhen said.
"Yes, young master," Lu Qing nodded her head, her body trembling with rage in her eyes. "That bitch is dead."
Her eyes became malevolent as she swiftly guided Lu Zhen to her room.
