Back at the Partnered Path Sect
Among all the people present, only Chen Tian could feel the surging spiritual qi of heaven and earth continuously surging into his body. Chen Tian could clearly feel his own strength becoming stronger. With every step he took, the spirit qi in his body would increase by a significant amount! Those so-called cultivation bottlenecks were like thin paper that crumbled with a touch.
The first stage of the Body Refinement Realm, the fourth stage, the sixth stage, and the eighth stage.
Chen Tian continued to break through his barriers. His body was now stronger than ever before, and he could feel the power coursing through his veins. With each breakthrough, he knew he was becoming stronger.
After some minutes, the purple pillar of light slowly dissipated. Chen Tian has reached the peak of the 8th Stage of the Body Refinment Realm.
After completing his talent test, Chen Tian quickly took Su Bingxin's hand and began walking outside the formation.
No one was able to sense what had happened to him. If anyone were to discover that a mortal had been able to break through to the 9th-level Body Refinement Realm in a matter of minutes, it would be utterly shocking.
The news would send shockwaves through the Tevat world, leaving many people gasping in disbelief and some even coughing up blood from the sheer magnitude of the shock.
If only they were aware that Chen Tian had transcended his mortal state and already reached the 8th Stage of Body Refinement, they would not have dared to utter such words.
Chen Tian knew that this was the manifestation of heaven and earth that he had triggered previously. The backlash against him was different from the others around him.
Because the manifestation had been triggered by Chen Tian, even though his cultivation level was still low, after reaching the Body Refinement Realm he could still clearly see the nine dragons pulling the coffin and destroying time and space with a single slash. He could see it even more clearly than those supreme beings.
'What secrets are hidden on Earth?' Chen Tian muttered to himself.
At the same time, he felt a strange power surge through his body. It was warm and comfortable. Because of the continuous advancement right now, Chen Tian's body is undergoing changes that will eventually allow him to fully embrace his new strength, but it will take time. However, Chen Tian is not concerned about this.
"Chen Tian, come with me. Let's sit by that tree," Su Bingxin said, turning her head towards him. Her expression was gentle, and she was smiling, indicating that she was trying to comfort him and take his mind off his worries about what had happened.
Chen Tian agreed, "Sure, let's go."
They made their way toward the tree, and no one dared to approach Chen Tian since Su Bingxin was safeguarding him. Thus, they both relished the serene shade beneath the tree.
After a long time, as the last person's summoning ended, the academy's ceremony finally came to an end.
Su Bingxin's figure was graceful as she slowly rose to her feet. Her face was flushed with embarrassment, betraying her nervousness.
Being concerned about potential issues, she was eager to depart promptly. Now that the summoning had concluded, she was afraid that some people might arrive and cause trouble for Chen Tian. This was the reason she desired to leave as soon as possible.
"I'll take you to my house." Su Bingxin said, offering to take him to her house.
"Yeah."
Chen Tian nodded and didn't say anything, letting Su Bingxin breathe a sigh of relief.
For some reason, even though the young man in front of her was slovenly, there was something about him that made Su Bingxin's face burn.
She was born with a gentle personality, but she was not weak. She was usually very indifferent and had never been in such a situation before. She was at a loss.
Su Bingxin's face was slightly red as she brought Chen Tian back home.
Meanwhile, Chen Tian, who was currently in the process of breaking through, didn't notice the change in Su Bingxin's heart. He was completely immersed in his breakthrough. Although the current heaven and earth spirit Qi wasn't as abundant as before, it still continuously accumulated within his body. This was not a very strange feeling for him.
Chen Tian was sensing the changes in his body. His strength continued to increase, and his five senses became sharper. Every breath he took seemed to bring with it a dense fluctuation between heaven and earth.
"Crackle!"
Chen Tian's body shone with a faint glow.
'I am close to another breakthrough!" Chen Tian was happy.
"On the Tevat Continent, cultivators are divided into ten levels. From low to high, they are divided into Body Refinement, Qi Refinement, Meridian Opening, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul Realm, Soul Formation, Dao Fusion, Dao Lord, Dao King, Dao Emperor, and Immortal Ascension."
Just as Chen Tian was deep in thought, a gentle voice sounded in his ears. It sounded like a spring breeze, soothing and pleasant to the ears.
Su Bingxin combed her hair, revealing her slender and fair neck. Her cheeks were slightly red, and she looked exceptionally charming. She was an intelligent woman, and she could tell that Chen Tian didn't know much about this continent. Su Bingxin didn't ask for the reason and continued to explain to Chen Tian in a gentle voice.
"Among the ten levels, each level is divided into ten stages. Your body should be showing signs of a breakthrough."
"The reason why you're breaking through now is probably because the large amount of spirit Qi from Heaven and Earth gathered by the purple pillar of light is now being replenished."
"I see." Chen Tian nodded, pretending as if he didn't know anything about cultivation.
Before Chen Tian was summoned, there weren't many girls who were willing to pay attention to him. However, this young girl in front of him greeted him in a friendly manner the first time they met.
Moreover, when Senior Sister Ling made things difficult for him, she was the first one to stand out and help him out. In addition, it was Su Bingxin who summoned him, so Chen Tian had an indescribably good impression of Su Bingxin.
"I just broke through to the Qi Refinement 2nd Stage last month," Su Bingxin said softly.
2nd Stage of the Qi Refinement? Chen Tian had a strange expression.
Su Bingxin thought that Chen Tian was ashamed of his inferiority after hearing her cultivation level, so she quickly consoled him, "It's alright. If your cultivation level is a little lower, you can gain more experience. It's not necessarily a bad thing."
Many people would feel ashamed of their inferiority when facing Su Bingxin. This was not even Su Bingxin, who had cultivated her talent to its peak. Back then, Su Bingxin was like a star that illuminated the sky, causing countless people to not even have the thought of feeling ashamed!
Even now, if those people who came to mock Su Bingxin no longer care about her, why would they come to mock her?
However, she had obviously misunderstood Chen Tian's thoughts. Su Bingxin, who was known as a genius, was only in the Qi Refinement Stage 2 now. How difficult would it be to break through? But Chen Tian had only taken a few steps, and he had already broken through to the Body Refinment 8th Stage.
As for Chen Tian, he thought that the level of talent in this world was rather low. Compared to his previous world, even a 10-year-old child would have reached the Qi Refinement stage. He observed Su Bingxin with a peculiar expression on his face.
Chen Tian's expression became resolute as he thought, "Since you have helped me, it is only right for me to repay you." Su Bingxin had helped him ever since he arrived in this world, and despite their forced relationship as Dao companions without any love, there was still a connection between them that he could sense now that he had become a cultivator.
While lost in thought, Chen Tian decided to reveal his true cultivation level by removing the disguise he used to hide his cultivation base. This would enable Su Bingxin to detect his level, which had previously been concealed.
Su Bingxin also noticed that the heaven and earth spirit qi in Chen Tian's body seemed to be exceptionally dense. After she sized him up, her beautiful eyes immediately widened.
"You, you, you're already at the 8th Stage of the Body Refinement Realm???"
"Uh, I guess. Maybe. I guess so…"
In reality, Chen Tian was going to step into the 9th Stage soon.
"This, this…"
Su Bingxin covered her mouth in disbelief. Her beautiful eyes revealed only shock.
Su Bingxin started cultivating at a young age, taking one step at a time. It took her more than ten years of cultivation to achieve her current results.
But for him? How long had it been since he was summoned, and he had already broken through from a mortal to the 8th Stage of the refinement?
Chen Tian scoffed in his mind at her surprised gaze. He found her behavior cute.
A woman held a young man's arm and walked over.
The summoning had just ended, and many people were leaving the mountain. The road was bustling with activity.
Chen Tian recognized the two of them. They were the people who had provoked him in the summoning array.
That woman was the first to curry favor with Senior Sister Ling and even tried to attack Su Bingxin.
Su Bingxin was stunned. She saw the two of them and subconsciously reached out to grab Chen Tian, afraid that he would suffer.
"It doesn't matter. It's a good time to practice and test."
Su Bingxin's eyes moved slightly. Although she was worried, she could not dissuade Chen Tian. She slowly let go of Chen Tian and secretly focused her attention, preparing to take action at any time. After all, he had just broken through, but Su Bingxin was still worried.
As the couple was walking, they suddenly saw a figure beside them. The figure strode over and stopped in front of them, blocking their path. It was Chen Tian.
