Yue and Ning'er could feel their spiritual bodies merge into their consciousness whilst Heaven and Earth's spiritual energy began to sublimate into their essence.
Revolving through their meridians, washing the Dantian, splitting a portion of their life essence, then proceeding towards the location of the consciousness.
Inside their minds, they would witnesses heaven and earth energy pour and magically morph into a tangible essence, just like a pound being filled with water.
Once the pound is filled to the brim and water cascades then the pound would transform into a lake.
From a lake to a sea with a translucent luster and magnificent clarity, this is the birth of one's Knowledge Sea.
From the depths of their consciousness, memories began to surface and slowly merge into the sea in the form of fragments. Mounds upon mounds of scenes flashed like a film as they integrated into the sea.
Memories shape one's personality, and the personality shapes the prototype of a spirit.
They both have simultaneously entered the critical point of breaking through to the Twilight Realm, all that's left is for their Ethereal Phantoms to assimilate back into the Sea Of Knowledge once the water would stabilize.
...
Meanwhile insides Tianshi's Sea Of Knowledge, her phantom was slowly ascending from the depths of her sea while madly absorbing heaven and earth energy to crystallize its form.
Her sea of knowledge expanded to the point where it's akin to comparing a lake to a deep-sea if compressed with a Twilight Realm Cultivator.
After the critical junction of compressing enough energy to grant her ethereal spirit a tangible form in the sense of compressed energy, Tianshi can be considered to have safely tread into the Eclipse Realm.
Currently, above their heads, the next batch of Heavenly Tribulation already carried the malicious Monster Qi.
Rumble~
An arc of heaven and earth essence descended at a frightening momentum as it carried a flash of chaotic darkness. However, the chaotic darkness was very negligible and abrupt for anyone to pay attention to it.
As it split into three fractions, the one which descended over Tianshi had the greatest quantity and quality of heaven and earth due to her superior cultivation, thus it is fair to point out that she had received a bonus proportion of Monster Qi to smite her breakthrough...

"It's here... Hah, hah..." Anastasia finally arrived at the source of the rippling shockwaves. When she looked down, she was shocked.
All she could see were two erratic figures moving at an incomparable speed. She couldn't even distinguish their appearance, much less recognize their identity.
Her first thought was that the two Celestial Entities have gone into a fight for the throne of the Northern Region, but she quickly discarded this idea.
The Phoenix Queen was an ice attribute beast and speed wasn't her domain of conflict.
With that thought, could it be that two monsters evolved their bloodline to Celestial level spontaneously? She didn't dare think that much.
Anastasia thought to probe with her soul force into the identity of those two, only to discard the idea nigh-instantly afterward, she simply lacked the courage to be so audacious.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Wherever the shadows went to intersect and their raw prowess erupted, the interwoven collision of energies and kinetic output was enough to sweep through the canopies and uprooted trees.
At this time, Arima and Noire looked in Anastasia's direction almost simultaneously.
Both of them have noticed a pair of eyes trying to lock onto their figures, but the gaze carried no malice.
Noire was startled at first, the woman had similar features with Tianshi, not to mention her Monster Qi was very obvious to the eye.
He instantly deduced that this woman should be her mother, the question is why did she appear here?
When Anastasia felt the pair of eyes looking back at her, her body stiffened, she instantly humbled herself and bowed lightly before saying.
"I have seen two seniors!"
"..."
"..."
Both Arima and Noire exchanged bewildered expressions. Still, Arima had an apparent lascivious glint. Although he looked at Anastasia for a brief moment during the exchange with Noire, he could still acknowledge the bountiful assets she's endowed with.
Thinking that she's worth his time more than this strange guy he met and that he would rather enjoy the company of a woman who acknowledged his seniority after centuries of isolation, Arima made a decisive decision!
The next instant, Arima glitched in space, lagged, and then took less than three breaths of time to re-appear in front of Anastasia with his arms crossed onto his chest.
"Tsk," Noire snorted coldly before chasing after Arima.
If anything, the least he could do is make sure Tianshi's mother doesn't get hurt.
Because Noire can't possibly fly yet with his insufficient cultivation, he could only rely on the concept of space to perform some mild space distortion and solidify a block of space underneath his feet.
Arima gave Noire a weird look, he couldn't sense the subtle fluctuations in space so all he could see was a man standing in mid-air. This is defying all common sense.
...
Although Noire and Arima were yet to speak, Anastasia was sweating profusely.
Arima's overbearing presence suppressed her, mainly because Arima just recently sublimated his bloodline and is yet to confine its influence.
She didn't dare lift her head without his permission, monster races are known to be aloof and arrogant. "What are you doing here?" Arima asked, not bothering with Noire anymore, that guy is just too weird for him.
Anastasia took a deep breath before answering, "Reporting to my Lord, my daughter... I came to bring back my daughter to where she belonged and carry a personal matter."
Arima nodded in understanding, then Noire's voice rang in.
"So I guessed right, you must be Tianshi's mother."
Both Arima and Anastasia were startled.
'He knows her daughter? Wait! Could her daughter be?...' Arima switched his gaze towards the plateau in the distance, suddenly having a feeling he understood something. Part of him was glad Noire stopped him, otherwise, his chances with the beauty would drop.
'This senior knows my daughter?' Anastasia's mind stirred, she picked up some sentiment in the voice when it mentioned her daughter's name.
Suddenly she felt a deep sense of crisis and unintentionally lifted her head to face the 'senior', and she was instantly petrified...
Seeing her weird and horrific expression of disbelief, Noire frowned, suddenly a bad feeling began to well up in his heart.
"If you're here, then the one breaking through is..." Anastasia's voice was trembling and hoarse.
Before she could voice out her concerns, crips moans of sorrow erupted from the plateau's direction, negligible amounts of Monster Qi began to diffuse from the platform.
Usually, Noire and Arima won't notice.
But now with their instinct and perception locked on the source of these howls of pain, they could discern the subtle fluctuations of Monster Qi that matched Anastasia's essence.
Noire's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pit, he didn't have time to investigate why on earth would Tianshi's mother disturb the process of someone's breakthrough! Everyone knows it's a very delicate and crucial moment where the cultivator is as vulnerable as a child.
Thinking this, his heart dropped to subzero temperature.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The barrier of sound was broken god knows how many countless times as Noire dashed towards Tianshi and the rest.
- - - -
Back inside the palace, the Queen and the rest of her Maidens were petrified in horror.
It's an undeniable fact that because of Arima, Noire wasn't able to be attentive to the breakthrough.
If anything goes wrong with Tianshi and the rest, they're not exempt from shouldering the responsibility.
And from the looks of it, their situation doesn't look that optimistic.
Let alone their looks, their miserable screams that resounded from the depths of the soul caused the ice-cold Queen to betray her temperament and shudder in awe.
