285: Xun'er: You have made another breakthrough, great!

“I understand everyone's expectations for Gu Fei.”

“But don’t be happy too soon.”

At this moment, Gu Lie spoke again.

“Elder Gu Lie, what makes you say that?”

Many Elders looked at Gu Lie with questioning expressions.

After all, Gu Fei was the hope of the entire Ancient Race, and now that Gu Fei’s strength had broken through, this was a great thing.

How could they not be happy?

“As the saying goes, a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind; a person who excels above others will be criticized by the masses.”

“We old fellows all understand this principle, don’t we?”

Gu Lie frowned.

That’s right!

Gu Fei was truly too outstanding. At such a young age, with such a cultivation Realm, if a few more years passed, he would probably only need to stomp his foot, and the entire continent would tremble.

Undoubtedly, all the forces on the entire continent were now paying attention to Gu Fei.

At this time, who knew what bad ideas some people in the dark were harboring!

On this continent, Sects and Ancient Races were all very polite on the surface.

But since ancient times, who didn't understand that this continent had always been about strength above all else!

Competition was everywhere.

Everyone was worried that one force would become unprecedentedly powerful, towering over everyone else.

How could the current Gu Fei not be targeted!

Indeed, they should be more cautious. The Ancient Race could not lose Gu Fei.

Outside Gu Fei's closed-door Cultivation place, Wushuang and Xian Le widened their eyes, looking at the tightly shut stone door with admiration.

The terrifying Qi that had just emanated from within made them almost unable to stand steady.

The pressure alone had already made the entire Ancient Race tremble.

“Daddy is so strong! When I grow up, I want to be as powerful as Daddy!”

Xian Le clenched her small fists, her eyes sparkling with determined light.

“Right! I will also join my sister in becoming as powerful as Daddy!”

Wushuang nodded vigorously, her slightly childish face full of longing.

“To be able to become Revered Master’s Disciple is the luckiest thing in my life!”

Ling Xi, who was standing by, silently watched this scene, a smile playing on her lips.

Now, Gu Fei was a recognized Genius throughout the continent, and his cultivation had reached such a Realm.

With such an amazing Revered Master, as a Disciple, she felt full of confidence.

However,

From now on, she had to do her best to diligently Cultivate, so as not to betray Revered Master's grace of nurturing!

She also had to be worthy of the title 'Gu Fei's Disciple'.

The pressure was immense!!!

Inside the secret chamber, Gu Fei sat cross-legged, a faint golden halo surrounding his entire body. With each breath, surging Dou Qi overflowed from his pores, forming small Qi cyclones around him.

“Seven-Star Dou Sheng Middle Stage.”

Gu Fei murmured to himself, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.

He could clearly feel the changes in the Dou Qi within his body; that power was several times stronger than before!

Just one Grade 9 Profound Pill allowed him to directly leap from Six-Star Dou Sheng to Seven-Star Dou Sheng Middle Stage. This effect was truly astonishing.

“But unfortunately, at this level, the body is quite sensitive to the power of Medicinal Pills. Even if I consume another Grade 9 Profound Pill in the future, it might not achieve this effect, unless I take a more Advanced Ninth-Grade Golden Core.”

However, what followed was a trace of faint regret.

Thinking of this, Gu Fei couldn't help but clench his fist.

If the Grade 9 Profound Pill could still work as effectively as before, he would be inclined to refine a few more.

After all, breaking through with this kind of Medicinal Pill was many times faster than conventional Cultivation.

And for his current level of progress, if he relied solely on accumulation through Cultivation, it would take at least several years.

“It seems that to advance further, I still need to find a way to refine a more Advanced Ninth-Grade Golden Core!!!”

Gu Fei sighed softly.

But now, where would he find such an Opportunity to refine a more Advanced Grade 9 Profound Pill?

Even the Grade 9 Profound Pill he had just consumed was a rare find on this continent, appearing only once in a hundred years!

Oh well, now was not the time to think about these things!

At the same time, somewhere above the Ancient Sacred Mountain Range, a graceful figure appeared out of thin air.

Zi Yan looked up, gazing at the magnificent and grand palaces of the Ancient Race below, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise.

This powerful Qi, could it be...

“Brother Gu Fei, what kind of Prodigy are you after all!”

Zi Yan couldn't help but exclaim.

She clearly remembered that not long ago, when Gu Fei left Dragon Island, his cultivation Realm was the same as hers, both only Six-Star Dou Sheng Early Stage.

But now, after such a short time apart, his Qi had changed beyond recognition, vaguely carrying the pressure of a Seven-Star Dou Sheng!

With this thought, Zi Yan could no longer suppress the curiosity in her heart.

In an instant, Zi Yan appeared above the Ancient Sacred Mountain Range.

The current Zi Yan was already able to enter and exit Gu Fei's clan territory at will.

It was necessary to confirm!

The next moment, Zi Yan's figure appeared beside Xiao Yi Xian, Caier, and the others.

“Zi Yan, what brings you here?”

Xiao Yi Xian stepped forward, took Zi Yan's hand, and asked gently.

“I’ve pretty much finished handling my clan's affairs recently, so I thought I’d come to see you all.”

Zi Yan stuck out her tongue and playfully blinked her eyes.

Then, Zi Yan’s gaze fell on the cheering Xian Le.

“Auntie!”

Xian Le excitedly pounced into Zi Yan's arms, rubbing her little face against her, very intimately.

Just then, the stone door in the distance slowly opened.

Accompanied by bursts of violent air currents, a tall and slender figure steadily walked out.

It was Gu Fei, who had just broken through to the Seven-Star Dou Sheng Realm!!!

Seeing Zi Yan's arrival, a gentle smile appeared on his lips.

In fact, he had sensed her Qi during his closed-door Cultivation, but hadn't had time to come out and greet her.

Everyone exchanged greetings, the atmosphere warm and lively.

Meanwhile, on a verdant mountain peak not far away,

Inside an elegant Bamboo House, Xun'er stood by the window, gazing at the distant sky.

Feeling Gu Fei’s Breakthrough to the Seven-Star Dou Sheng Realm,

At this moment, a hint of relief flashed in Xun'er's eyes, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

“Brother Gu Fei, congratulations. You are one step closer to the Dao of Longevity.”

Xun'er murmured to herself, her tone carrying a touch of emotion.

She lowered her head and looked at the jade bottle in her hand, which contained the healing Medicinal Pill Gu Fei had given her earlier.

Thinking of this, Xun'er gently caressed the jade bottle, her eyes becoming even softer.

She knew that perhaps from now on, there would be no possibility between her and Gu Fei, but this friendship, this concern, she would never forget in this life.

And that young man from the past had now reached a height in Cultivation that she could not hope to achieve.

Xun'er was sincerely happy for Gu Fei and blessed him from the bottom of her heart.

But at the same time, a hint of bitterness faintly arose from the depths of her heart.

“Sigh.”

The next moment, Xun'er sighed softly, carefully putting away the jade bottle.

How could she bear to consume the Medicinal Pill in this jade bottle?

Scenes from the past flashed before her eyes; the laughter from their youth seemed to still echo in her ears. However, everything had ultimately become a fleeting memory, impossible to retrieve.

Xun'er closed her eyes, trying to suppress those thoughts. (End of Chapter)
