As they witnessed the White Lion, Bai Li Hongzhuang's contracted beast, being the first to break through, astonishment spread across the faces of the onlookers.
"I didn't expect Bai Li Hongzhuang's contracted beast to have Blue Realm cultivation. Looks can be deceiving indeed!" someone exclaimed, marveling at the White Lion. Initially, they hadn't paid much attention to it, as many people had contracted beasts.
However, they hadn't anticipated the White Lion's true strength to be so formidable!
To cultivate a contracted beast with Blue Realm cultivation would require a significant amount of resources. And now, with its breakthrough, it was truly enviable.
Lan Qingyan's eyes grew even more filled with hatred upon seeing the contracted beast she despised the most making a breakthrough. If not for this detestable contracted beast, she wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state!
Bai Li Hongzhuang looked at the White Lion with delight. Its cultivation was progressing rapidly, making it a great ally for her. The hall was filled with dense elemental energy, enough to replenish the energy needed for breakthroughs.
Shortly after the White Lion's breakthrough, other cultivators began their own breakthroughs. These were either individuals who were close to breaking through or those who had been stuck at a bottleneck for a long time. The newfound insights they gained allowed their cultivation to advance.
Bai Li Hongzhuang, who had recently reached the fourth stage of the Blue Realm, couldn't make another breakthrough in such a short time. So, she carefully contemplated the power of the Chaos Stele. Vast and intricate patterns emerged in her mind, providing her with different cues.
Gradually, Bai Li Hongzhuang felt as if she had entered a vast universe, surrounded by countless shining stars—the most fundamental power of heaven and earth.
Her body was enveloped in a translucent power, a serene and comfortable sensation she had never experienced before. She felt as light as a feather, as if her physical strength had vanished.
Walking amidst the stars, she experienced the essence of that primordial power, feeling unrestricted and unburdened.
Emperor Beichen and the others were taken aback when they saw Bai Li Hongzhuang in this state. They realized that her gaze had been fixed on the Chaos Stele for an entire hour, far exceeding the limit they could endure. Yet, Bai Li Hongzhuang remained immersed in it, seemingly absorbed within.
"Beichen, Hongzhuang has been staring at the Chaos Stele for an hour. Could something go wrong?" Shangguan Yingying worriedly looked at Bai Li Hongzhuang. She herself couldn't bear to look at it for more than half an hour, so it would be disastrous if something happened to Hongzhuang after all this time.
Emperor Beichen's brows furrowed slightly, his deep eyes filled with concern. He felt that Bai Li Hongzhuang had entered a peculiar state.
"I think Hongzhuang seems to have entered a unique state. It might be best not to disturb her for now," Emperor Beichen contemplated. This feeling... was somewhat akin to enlightenment.
Enlightenment was a peculiar state that practitioners occasionally experienced, but it was elusive and couldn't be sought after. Typically, when a practitioner entered this state, they would gain significant insights.
