In Demon Peak, Leng Wuyan stood with her hands behind her back as she stood at the peak of the mountain and gazed into the distance.
This had always been her habit, and the deacons had long since become accustomed to it.
But her current expression was somewhat gloomy.
“Ran’ er has been cultivating in seclusion ever since he returned. I haven’t seen him for several days.”
Her heart was conflicted.
On one hand, she hoped that Li Ran would work hard and break through as soon as possible.
But on the other hand, she also hoped that he would accompany her. Even if she could see him once every day, it would still be good.
“Right now, he’s only a late-Nascent Soul cultivator. I don’t know how long it will take for him to break through to the Heavenly Tribulation Realm.
“Could it be that he’s going into closed door cultivation?
“But I have no reason to stop him…”
Leng Wuyan rubbed the space between her brows. “It’s so annoying. I really want to see Ran’er.”
Suddenly, a light flashed in her mind.
“Isn’t it enough for me to ask him to come to my bedchamber to cultivate?
“Not only will this not delay his cultivation, I can even see him every day!”
Leng Wuyan smiled. “I really am a genius!”
Her expression leaped as she walked down the mountain with her hands behind her back.

In the Sheng Zi’s residence…
Dong dong dong
Early in the morning, someone knocked.
“Who is it?”
Aqin pushed open the door and saw Lu Xinran standing with her hands behind her back.
She smiled and said, “Good morning, Big Sister Aqin. Today, you seem to have become beautiful again!”
Everyone in the sect knew that the Sheng Zi valued this “servant” very much.
Earlier, one of the inner court disciples had spoken rudely to Aqin. Li Ran had crippled his cultivation on the spot and kicked him down the mountain gate.
After the Sect Master found out about this matter, not only did she not blame him, she even had the elder strictly control her disciples.
Ever since then, Aqin had become a special existence in the sect.
Although she wasn’t a disciple of the Youluo Temple, even the Eldest Senior Brother had to bow his head to greet her when he saw her.
Fortunately, Aqin’s character was very good, and she had never bullied others. The disciples’ impression of her was very good.
Lu Xinran and she became sisters.
“Good morning. Are you here to find the Sheng Zi?” Aqin asked with a smile.
Lu Xinran nodded and said in embarrassment, “I heard that the Sheng Zi has returned. I haven’t seen him for a long time, so I came over and greeted him.”
Aqin could not help but say, “Lord Sheng Zi is still cultivating bitterly, so it might not be convenient for him to meet guests.”
“Cultivate bitterly?” Lu Xinran asked doubtfully, “He started cultivating early in the morning?”
Aqin nodded. “Milord, ever since he returned, has been training behind closed doors for many days.”
Lu Xinran scratched her head.
In her impression, apart from frequently going to the Sect Master’s chambers to discuss the Dao, Li Ran seemed to have never gone into closed door cultivation.
“The Sheng Zi is already so strong. He’s already shaken off the two heavenly geniuses, yet he’s still working so hard?”
“Lord Sheng Zi is truly working very hard.”
“Then I too…”
Before they could finish speaking, the room suddenly erupted with divine light. A boom seemed to ring in their hearts.
The two’s minds trembled as they fell to the ground.
Then, the scene before them completely shocked them.
Li Ran pierced through the wall and soared into the air, dazzling like a scorching sun.
Boom!
It was as if the void had opened a door, and the enormous golden giant stepped through the air.
It leaned against the cosmos, its body incomparably tall and mighty. Its indifferent eyes overlooked the entire Snowfall Peak.
What was different from before was that the giant’s body grew taller, and the divine dragon wrapped around its arm became more real. Even the dragon scales could be seen clearly.
The elephant roared under its body, its entire body seemed to be made of white jade, emitting an immeasurable divine might.
Lu Xinran and Aqin hugged each other, shivering under the immense pressure.
In the bedroom, Leng Wuyan was giving orders,
She suddenly raised her head and looked in the direction of the Snowfall Peak, her eyes filled with surprise.
“He’s about to break through? Ran’er’s talent is truly terrifying!
“Looks like he’s serious this time!
“Right. If he continues to train at this rate, he’s probably not too far away from the Heavenly Tribulation Realm…”
Her face was slightly red, and her eyes were filled with shyness.
Under the stage, Deacon Wang was stunned.
“The Sect Master actually blushes?”
—
The loud noise of the Snowfall Peak attracted the attention of the entire sect.
Densely-packed figures soared into the sky, and all of them flew over in an attempt to investigate.
Elder Sun was the first to arrive. When she saw this, she couldn’t help but be stunned.
“This is… the Sheng Zi’s Dharma Idol? This, this is too big!”
However, it was not over yet.
Black mist spread out.
The terrifying and sinister giant demon looked up at the sky and let out a long howl. Six thick and huge arms were brandished, and the light of all sorts of spirit treasures complemented each other.
After devouring a large amount of soul energy, it was now on par with the golden giant!
Boom boom boom!
A dazzling Buddhist light blossomed. Accompanied by a Buddhist chant, a Vajra sat cross-legged in the air.
It held a flower in its left hand and a sword in his right.
The Vajra glared at him, slaying demons and devils. The Vajra lowered its eyebrows and showed mercy.
Everyone was shocked by this scene.
“Nascent Soul Realm, three Dharma Idol? I’ve never heard of such before!”
“The Sheng Zi actually has such pure Buddhist power?”
“The Sheng Zi is really big!”
“The Sheng Zi is about to break through?”
“It can’t be, right? How long has it been since he broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm? This is too exaggerated!”
—
The disciples discussed amongst themselves.
The expressions of the elders were filled with shock.
They are all Heavenly Tribulation existences. They can tell Li Ran’s condition at a glance.
His soul energy was boundless and his aura was high, far exceeding the Nascent Soul Realm.
Li Ran was about to break through to the Heavenly Tribulation Realm!
Elder Sun’s entire body was trembling, her eyes filled with fervor!
“Such a terrifying cultivation speed can no longer be explained by talent!
“Sheng Zi Li is definitely the Son of the Heavenly Dao!”
—
Li Ran was very depressed.
Logically speaking, his spirit energy was abundant, and his soul power was boundless. It was a matter of pushing a boat along the way.
But now, he was stuck.
The reason was actually because the refined soul was too strong, far exceeding the initial-stage of the Heavenly Tribulation state, causing his Violet Palace sea of consciousness to be unable to digest it.
“Everyone else’s threshold is that their soul energy isn’t enough, but in my case, the threshold is that my soul energy is too strong?”
He thought for a moment and called the help hotline.
“Master Qinglan, I’m unable to break through because my soul is too strong…”
Yi Qinglan was speechless after hearing this. “You’re too impatient. You’re thinking of breaking through to the Heavenly Tribulation Realm in just a few days?”
“It’s not that easy to break through to the great realm. Although your soul energy is abundant, your Violet Palace of the sea of consciousness has yet to fully open up.
“Right now, you can only pause the breakthrough and wait until the soul energy is completely refined.”
Li Ran scratched his head. “This arrow is already on the bowstring. Is there no other way?”
Yi Qinglan shook her head and said, “Unless there is heavenly lightning to temper you, otherwise…”
Li Ran’s eyes lit up. “Heavenly lightning? I’m familiar with that thing!”
