Chapter 439: Seclusion! Breakthrough!
Under Elder Tongxuan's protection, Xun'er quickly returned to the Ancient Sacred City and entered the Ancient Realm. Ignoring the Elder's Hall, she rushed back to her training grounds. She took out the Sacred Heart Glazed Pill. Even sealed in the bottle, the holy light emitted by the pill was so wondrous it seemed to awaken one's wisdom.
Sensing the immense energy within the Sacred Heart Glazed Pill, Xun'er hesitated before taking out a jade slip. Moments later, a middle-aged man in plain clothes appeared before her, his gaze immediately fixating on the bottle in her hand.
"Is this the Sacred Heart Glazed Pill that Xiao Ze made for you?"
"Yes, father. Please help me refine the Sacred Heart Glazed Pill."
Their brief conversation revealed much. Gu Yuan was well-informed about Xun'er's affairs. Although Xun'er had just returned to the Ancient Realm, Gu Yuan already knew the pill she carried was the Sacred Heart Glazed Pill. He didn't understand Xun'er's urgency to refine the pill but didn't question it. He simply nodded.
"You take it, and I will intervene if necessary."
With her father's reassurance, Xun'er's smile brightened. She quickly broke the seal on the bottle, releasing a rich fragrance and energy waves. The Sacred Heart Glazed Pill turned into a radiant light, seemingly trying to escape its fate. However, as soon as it emerged from the bottle, it felt the surrounding space lock down, rendering it immobile.
Xun'er looked at Gu Yuan, nodded, and then placed the pill in her mouth, beginning the process of refining it.
Meanwhile, in a vast mountain range in the eastern region of Zhongzhou, Xiao Yixian, Medusa, and Qing Lin were practicing the heaven-rank Dou technique, the Great Heaven Creation Palm. Qing Lin softly murmured, her hand glowing dark gold as if made of metal. A powerful energy gathered in her palm, forming a black hole that expanded like lightning, devouring everything around it. The mountain peak looked as if a giant spoon had scooped it out, leaving a concave basin.
Qing Lin's eyes sparkled with joy. She had finally mastered the Great Heaven Creation Palm. Xiao Yixian, Medusa, and Qing Lin had chosen separate locations to train due to the technique's immense power. Practicing together was impractical and dangerous. Now that they could fully execute the technique, they practiced independently, aiming to perfect it to the point where they could deploy it at will.
On the other side, Xiao Ze smiled as he saw that the three had successfully mastered the Great Heaven Creation Palm. His interface displayed new prompts:
[Xun'er has refined the Sacred Heart Glazed Pill. Congratulations to the host for receiving ten times the energy feedback.]
[Xun'er has refined the Sacred Heart Glazed Pill, enhancing her talent. Congratulations to the host for receiving ten times the feedback, significantly improving your talent.]
Xiao Ze's eyes lit up with delight. With Xiao Yixian, Medusa, and Qing Lin successfully mastering the Great Heaven Creation Palm, he could focus on attempting to break through to Dou Saint.
Using the golden tree to communicate, he called Xiao Yixian and the others back.
"Let's find a good place. It's time to attempt the breakthrough!"
Hearing Xiao Ze's bold declaration, Xiao Yixian and the others didn't doubt him at all. They knew the depth of his accumulation was terrifying. To them, his breakthrough was a natural progression.
"Xiao Ze, are we heading back to the Alchemist Association for your breakthrough?" Qing Lin asked, thinking of a safe place like the association.
"No need to delay; we'll do it here," Xiao Ze replied. He had waited long enough and didn't want to waste more time. Returning to the Alchemist Association might expose them to the Soul Hall's spies. They wouldn't sit idly by if they knew another Saint was about to emerge from the Alchemist Association. It was safer to stay in the remote mountains, with space seals and illusory forces masking their presence, plus the protection of Xiao Yixian and Medusa.
Soon, Xiao Ze made all necessary preparations and sat on a blue meditation mat with mystical properties that aided in cultivation.
"System, claim all energy feedback rewards from Xun'er!"
A vast ocean of energy surged into Xiao Ze, creating a terrifying energy storm in the area. Xiao Yixian, Medusa, and Qing Lin watched in shock as a massive energy storm formed within a hundred meters of Xiao Ze, with infinite energy being absorbed by him.
"No wonder Xiao Ze's Dou Qi seems endless. The scale of this breakthrough shows how deep his foundation is," Qing Lin marveled.
"He probably has several times, if not dozens of times, the amount of Dou Qi compared to others of his level," Medusa said, brushing back her hair blown by the energy storm.
"Xiao Ze is a monster. Even at the peak of Dou Zun, he could probably fight a hundred of us. There's no comparison," Xiao Yixian added, feeling a bit helpless.
The immense energy poured into Xiao Ze's body, the tenfold feedback from the Sacred Heart Glazed Pill enhancing his talent significantly. To him, it felt similar to the effects of widening the diameter of his Source Tree. However, the Sacred Heart Glazed Pill's feedback wasn't as comprehensive as the Source Tree's growth, which benefited him in all aspects, from talent to energy control.
The vast energy pushed the Source Tree's diameter to its limit. Finally, the last meter was filled!
Crack!
As the Source Tree reached a thousand meters in diameter, a sound like shattering echoed in the void space. Xiao Ze's soul within the Source Tree felt it—the Dou Saint threshold had been broken!
The bottleneck was gone!
With the overwhelming energy, the Source Tree's height surged, breaking through to ten thousand meters!
