183: Yue Xiyan's progress! Breakthrough to the second level!

Three days later, Yue Xiyan advanced another hundred meters!

The furthest among the other third-rank cultivators reached two li from the central area, which was the one from Xuantian Sword Sect.

This achievement was already extremely outstanding compared to others!

Chen Qingxuan was still four li away from the central area; although his position was relatively behind among the third-rank cultivators, it was still considered progress.

Among the fourth-rank cultivators, Linghu Chong was undoubtedly the most dazzling; he had already crossed the one-li mark, far ahead of everyone else.

Shen Xinrong had also long since passed the one-li mark and was struggling to move forward.

The three cultivators, Liu Zhen, who were ahead, had also crossed one li, but they were still nearly a hundred meters behind Linghu Chong.

Looking at Linghu Chong not far away, yet unable to get closer, Liu Zhen said to Zhang Mang and Zhao Shanhe, who were nearby:

"How is this kid so powerful? He broke through to fourth-rank much later than us, yet he's surpassed us so quickly..."

Zhang Mang said with a serious face, "People like him are geniuses. Otherwise, why would Sword Saint Dugu of Xuantian Sword Sect take him as a disciple!"

"That's true..." Liu Zhen nodded, feeling a bit dejected.

Then he looked back at the six fourth-rank Silver-Robed Demon Suppression Envoy who hadn't yet crossed the one-li mark and laughed:

"Never mind the others, but we can't let these guys surpass us, or we'll be laughed to death when we go back!"

"Mmm!"

Zhang Mang and Zhao Shanhe also nodded in agreement.

Then the three of them simultaneously got up and struggled to walk forward, each step forward being incredibly difficult!

The violent Heavenly Tribulation power oppressed them too strongly; the Nine Heavenly Tribulations ravaged their bodies, and the Heart Demon Tribulation was constantly tormenting their minds.

Under this dual torment, staying even one more breath in there was torture.

With fourth-rank cultivation and having ventured over one li deep, it was still very difficult to stay there for ten days.

Everyone's performance so far was within Li Shengyuan and Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin's expectations.

Li Shengyuan also made a rough classification based on everyone's strength and performance.

If one could cultivate for a long time at a distance of one li from the central area without any adverse effects, passing the Sixth Heavenly Tribulation would not be difficult.

If one could cultivate safely in the very central area, then passing any first-rank or second-rank Heavenly Tribulation would not be a big problem.

It was just too difficult; after all, even the second-rank Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin had to move cautiously in the central area.

Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin looked at Yue Xiyan, who was cultivating with her eyes closed in a cross-legged position, and asked Li Shengyuan curiously:

"Brother Li, what Heavenly Tribulation do you think Palace Master Yue will encounter?!"

"At least the Eighth Heavenly Tribulation!" Li Shengyuan said with a smile without hesitation.

"That high?!" Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin was startled; he had thought Yue Xiyan would only face the Seventh Heavenly Tribulation!

One must know that not many people throughout history have been able to pass the Eighth Heavenly Tribulation!

Yue Xiyan's previous strength and performance were indeed very strong, but he didn't expect Li Shengyuan to evaluate her so highly!

Li Shengyuan, however, smiled calmly and said, "Perhaps there will even be the Ninth Heavenly Tribulation!"

Yue Xiyan had absorbed and refined a lot of God-Demon Origin with him; although she hadn't made a move yet, her strength and talent were undoubtedly beyond question!

Listening to Li Shengyuan's words, Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin felt it was becoming more and more mystical. It wasn't that he underestimated Yue Xiyan, but even from ancient times, the Ninth Heavenly Tribulation was ranked among the highest!

"Let's wait patiently. Before the final result appears, no one knows what it will be like." Li Shengyuan smiled slightly, then sat cross-legged in the void, closing his eyes to rest.

On the tenth day, Yue Xiyan advanced another hundred meters, only three hundred meters from the central position!

However, she was already able to cultivate safely at this position for a long time!

The fourth-rank cultivators who came in together had all retreated to recuperate.

Only the third-rank cultivators could persist in cultivating for a long time inside, relying on their strong physiques and cultivation.

Linghu Chong always maintained his leading position.

Liu Zhen's three old brothers also did not disgrace the Jin Yi (Golden Cloaks) Demon Suppression Envoy; not only did they win against the six fourth-rank Silver-Robed Demon Suppression Envoy, but they also left them far behind!

Although they were fourth-rank, as Silver-Robed Demon Suppression Envoy, their accumulation was still a bit lacking; they barely managed to cross one li, and after that, it was practically impossible to move an inch.

Li Shengyuan also kept his word and gave Liu Zhen's three old brothers some third-rank elixirs and magical artifacts.

Over the past year or so, the number of third-rank Demon Barbarians and demon cult leaders who died by his hand was in the double digits, and the spoils of war were very rich!

Although he himself couldn't use these low-end items, for Liu Zhen and the others, they were rare treasures!

The price of a single third-rank elixir required a third-rank cultivator to save up for a period of time, and for a fourth-rank cultivator, it was an exorbitant price!

As for the more expensive third-rank magical artifacts, perhaps a fourth-rank cultivator might not be able to afford them even if they saved for a lifetime...

After all, it's impossible to save all resources just to buy magical artifacts and not even buy cultivation resources, right?!

As for the other six Silver-Robed Demon Suppression Envoy, Li Shengyuan also gave them more or less a consolation prize for exceeding one li.

He was currently incredibly wealthy, so sharing a bit with his own brothers was no harm.

As for his father, mother, Princess Pingyang, Aunt Shen, and other relatives, Li Shengyuan had even better things to give...

God-Demon Origin!

This could not only enhance their talent but also raise their potential and strength!

It would be of great help to them; Li Shengyuan did not want to end up alone in old age, so he would definitely help if he could.

Previously, after killing the Six Demon Lords and the Great Priest's external dharma bodies, he received another reward of plundering a golden entry and ten strands of God-Demon Origin!

Princess Pingyang and Aunt Shen could cultivate with him, making it easier to absorb and refine, so he could give them more, but their current cultivation was not high, so it was not yet time.

As for his father and mother, giving one strand to each would be enough...

However, Li Shengyuan planned to wait until Yue Xiyan finished her breakthrough and passed the second-rank Heavenly Tribulation before deciding how to distribute them.

Half a month later, Yue Xiyan advanced another hundred meters, only a hundred meters away from the very center where Li Shengyuan had undergone his tribulation!

Reaching this position was almost Yue Xiyan's limit.

Just the tens of thousands of times gravity from the ground made it incredibly difficult for Yue Xiyan to even lift a finger; anyone below third-rank who stepped here would instantly be crushed into a pulp by the gravity alone!

Not to mention the existence of the other Nine Heavenly Tribulations...

Li Shengyuan observed Yue Xiyan intently, ready to instantly take her away if there was even a hint of her being unable to sustain herself!

Sect Leader Fang Xiaolin also said with a solemn expression, "Palace Master Yue should be at her limit reaching this position!"

"It's truly incredible! For a third-rank cultivator to reach this position, I wouldn't be surprised at all if you said she could trigger the Eighth or even Ninth Heavenly Tribulation. I really want to know how strong she will become!"

Li Shengyuan smiled slightly, "We'll find out soon!"

As soon as his voice fell, Yue Xiyan's cultivation, which had been restrained to the extreme, began to become restless, and her aura frantically leaked out!

Heaven and earth began to manifest anomalies; centered around her, the sky was covered by dark clouds and instantly turned black!

Both their eyes lit up instantly!

"She's starting her breakthrough!"
