"Given the abundance of elemental fruits here, I think it's best for us to enhance our cultivation first," said Bai Li Hong Zhuang, her eyes shining with wisdom and determination. Since they couldn't take these elemental fruits with them, it would be better to absorb them here.
Currently, improving their strength was the most important task at hand.
Although Bai Li Hong Zhuang hadn't been practicing for long, reaching such a level of cultivation was already commendable. However, in the presence of these scions from prestigious families, her strength became her weakness.
She had always taken great pride in her own strength, but she never expected that her abilities would be suppressed at every turn after crossing over. She never voiced her frustrations, but only she knew how disheartened she felt.
Han Xi Ling was definitely not an easy opponent. Once they left this relic, the challenges she would face would likely become even more treacherous. Therefore, she had to quickly improve her strength.
And now, these elemental fruits were the perfect way for her to enhance her abilities quickly.
Hearing Bai Li Hong Zhuang's words, the three animal companions nodded in agreement. Enhancing their strength was indeed the most important task at the moment.
Bai Li Hong Zhuang immediately focused her mind, grabbing one of the floating elemental fruits in front of her and swallowing it without hesitation.
Her strength was already on the verge of a breakthrough, but she had suppressed it due to the circumstances. Now, in this rare and quiet environment, it was the perfect time to break through.
Seeing Bai Li Hong Zhuang initiating her breakthrough, the three animal companions dutifully guarded her, alert to any sudden interruptions from others that could disturb her progress.
Time passed slowly, and the number of elemental fruits in the stone chamber gradually diminished. While Bai Li Hong Zhuang immersed herself in cultivation, the White Lion also consumed the demon crystal of the Azure Sky Devil Crocodile, lying by Bai Li Hong Zhuang's side and embarking on its own breakthrough.
"It's been quite a few days already, and the master and the White Lion are still in seclusion. I wonder when they will awaken," remarked Xiao Hei, rolling on the ground out of boredom. It was truly tedious.
"But there are only a few elemental fruits left here. I believe it won't be long before the master wakes up," replied Xiao Bai helplessly, looking at Bai Li Hong Zhuang who remained motionless in her meditative state for quite some time.
"However, the speed at which the master has improved during this period is truly astonishing. Haha!" exclaimed Xiao Hei, suddenly becoming excited. The effects of the elemental fruits were not exaggerated.
With the help of so many elemental fruits, the master's strength had been consistently breaking through, saving a lot of time that would have been spent on cultivation. They had been steadily catching up to Ji Dair and the others.
They believed that once the master emerged from her cultivation state, she would be able to make up for the cultivation she had missed in recent years.
Boom!
Just as Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai were contemplating, an astonishing force of attraction erupted from Bai Li Hong Zhuang, centered around her. The scattered elemental fruits in the air were immediately drawn towards her.
Witnessing this, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with profound astonishment.
"Such a tremendous fluctuation... Could it be that the master is about to directly break through to the Innate Realm?" Xiao Hei exclaimed.
It was well known that only by entering the Innate Realm could one truly enter the world of cultivation.
However, before entering the Innate Realm, the speed of cultivation advancement was the slowest, often taking more than a decade to reach that level.
