Gu An didn't continue to push his Cultivation Level, preferring to wait until he reached the first layer of the Void Crossing Realm. He feared the time it would take to absorb Spiritual Energy would be too long, and that daybreak might come before he finished.
If the disciples discovered he wasn't in the valley, it would spell trouble.
With each notification that appeared, Gu An could distinctly feel the Earth Spirit Energy wildly surging upwards from beneath the ground.
With a boom!
Spiritual Energy rose in a wild frenzy from the ground, pulling at his robes and tangling his black hair as if trying to lift them into the air.
His body wasn't blown away, for the Spiritual Energy had already entered him, tethering him to the ground like chains.
This time, the commotion caused by devouring Spiritual Energy was far greater than his previous breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm. In fact, the ground beneath Gu An vibrated so intensely he could feel it.
