The breakthrough in state was like a matter of course. The meridians began to expand, washed by a soul power as vast as the Yangtze River. His soul core and Spiritual Core within his body also swelled accordingly. The change in the Spiritual Core was minimal, as it was already at the pinnacle of level 9, but the soul core had expanded, making Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill Energy even more robust. Massive waves of energy spiraled around his body, continually absorbing life force to nourish himself.At this moment, Tang San, who was clearly not yet fourteen, exuded the aura of someone older, his presence rippling with a youthful vibe, as if he were continuously sublimating. There was no trace of difficulty from the breakthrough. seaʀᴄh thё novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Zhang Haoxuan stood not far behind him, silently watching his disciple break through to the Eighth Stage with ease, momentarily at a loss for words.
Thirteen years old! An eighth-stage thirteen-year-old. This was unprecedented in the history of the organization. Even Pretty Girl with her prodigious talent hadn't achieved this! Yet Tang San had just done it, and Zhang Haoxuan was becoming more and more convinced that Tang San was the Savior, the one bestowed by the heavens to save humanity.
Having broken through smoothly, Tang San hesitated for a moment before beginning to fuse with the Mark reserved within his body, not the one from the stronger bloodline of the Money Leopard with its golden bloodline. Because the speed of the Money Leopard and his Peacock Transformation's teleporting had similarities. At this time, he was merging with the Mark of the Ninth Stage Elephant Demon.
At the time, it seemed like he was merely playing with the Elephant Demon, but in reality, its powerful War Stomp could be incredibly terrifying if used properly. More importantly, the bloodline power of the Elephant Demon would greatly benefit the enhancement of Tang San's physical strength. Of course, he still left one space empty, an opportunity to fuse with something else at any time. After all, there might be a chance to gain greater benefits later on.
When Tang San opened his eyes again, it was already noon, and he had completed his breakthrough in just one morning.
From this moment on, Tang San was at the Eighth Stage!
Wu Bingji and his team were still in a state of meditation, their minds and bodies heavily drained due to the tension and battles of the past several days.
Zhang Haoxuan felt the vigorous thrumming of blood and energy within Tang San, "You call this a breakthrough?"
"Ah?" Tang San looked at his teacher with confusion.
Zhang Haoxuan said somewhat helplessly, "I mean, your breakthrough seemed too effortless. If every human cultivated as easily as you do, that would be truly..."
Tang San laughed, "This is the advantage of accumulation! I've always suppressed it, not breaking through easily, allowing myself to accumulate even more. By the time of the breakthrough, it naturally happens without effort. You should feel the same when you break through to the God Rank."
"Shall we go now?" asked Zhang Haoxuan.
Tang San replied, "No rush, make your preparations first. From now on, you should absorb life energy under the Golden Tree, the fuller the better. Don't worry about anything, just focus on absorption."
"What if I explode? At any moment now, I feel like I can't control the breakthrough. If it happens here by accident, that would be a big problem." A breakthrough to the God Rank would be a massive event; if it took place here, Golden Valley would become impossible to conceal.
Tang San said, "That won't happen. I'll protect you, ensuring you don't break through so easily. Trust me. Once you've absorbed enough life energy, we'll head straight to the sea."
Zhang Haoxuan gave him a deep look and, gritting his teeth, finally nodded. "Okay." He had agreed because his outstanding disciple had never once let him down.
Zhang Haoxuan sat down cross-legged under the Golden Tree and began to enter a meditative state, absorbing the Life Aura emitted by the Golden Tree.
Tang San stood by his side. The enhancement of his cultivation base had made him even more sensitive to energy and strengthened his control over it.
Just as Zhang Haoxuan had said, the bloodline power within him was now surging tumultuously. Although he was suppressing it with all his might, there indeed seemed to be a sense that he might not be able to keep it under control.
A faint smile appeared on Tang San's lips. Bloodline power could not be suppressed by human strength alone, but Divine Power could. Breaking through to God Rank was not a big problem for Zhang Haoxuan. He had accumulated experience over many years, and in the past year, he had also been nourished by the life force of the Golden Tree.
The greatest benefit of the Golden Tree was not only that it provided life force but also high-rank life energy. Filtered by it, the spirituality of heaven and earth in this world would condense into incredibly pure Life Aura. It must be known that, in this world, the Aura was incomparably rich, naturally resulting in incredibly pure life energy. This was also why the Red Fox girls could continue to improve even when their bloodline powers were weak.
Tang San had also brought Wu Bingji and the others here to sublimate their life force, especially for Du Bai, Cheng Zicheng, and Gu Li. If they wanted to further enhance their bloodline power, the dilution of their bloodlines was the greatest barrier. High-level and high-purity life force was an important way to further stimulate their bloodline power. Although it wasn't as effective as directly soaking in the blood of a higher bloodline, it was still a method. Otherwise, for Du Bai to even break through to the Sixth Stage would not be an easy task, but here, it was possible.
In Tang San's plan, before heading to the Ancestral Court, he wanted his companions to improve as much as possible, at least getting Gu Li to the Seventh Stage to enter the major evolutionary phase of Time Variation Seal and Du Bai to the Sixth Stage. This would be an enhancement to their strength, but also a significant help to Tang San himself. At the Sixth Stage, the Time Variation Seal would show not only the original time delay but also time acceleration. If they reached the Seventh Stage, it might even bring him the Time Reversion he desired most!
As for the Sixth Stage of the Heavenly Fox Transformation, judging from the situation at the Fifth Stage, the Fifth Stage could regionally control Luck, so the Sixth Stage would likely strengthen individual luck control. This was equally important to him.
At this moment, Zhang Haoxuan's state was such that after more than a year of Life Energy Tempering, his life rank had been sublimated. This triggered the deep-seated power in his bloodline and allowed him to reach new heights beyond the pinnacle of level nine.
A faint golden glint flashed in Tang San's eyes, and an invisible pressure was quietly released from his head. It was the Power of Divine Consciousness, which, under Tang San's control, manifested itself only very weakly. It was this slight fluctuation of mind that fell upon Zhang Haoxuan and immediately calmed the surging bloodline power within him, and the Spiritual Power in his Sea of Spirit was also suppressed.
Zhang Haoxuan, already suffering from swelling pain within his body, immediately felt relieved. In his meditative state, although he didn't know what was happening outside, he vaguely understood that the changes in his body must be related to Tang San.
And so, Zhang Haoxuan began to accumulate life energy.
Wu Bingji and the other three were aware of the great benefits this place brought to their cultivation after their first meditation session. The rich life force here was better than any natural treasure and tremendously helpful to their cultivation. Naturally, they continued to cultivate here.
Tang San remained by Zhang Haoxuan's side. Whenever there were signs of an energy outburst within him, Tang San would exert a bit of his Power of Divine Consciousness to help him suppress it. As a result, the life energy accumulated within Zhang Haoxuan's body began to increase, and the sense of fullness in his body grew stronger and stronger.
Finally, when the three days were up, and Zhang Haoxuan felt unable to continue absorbing any more, something seemed to trigger within him, and he opened his eyes.
The first thing he saw was Tang San, standing by his side.
