Big breakthrough

Zhou Family Patriarch Zhou Changfeng’s words, when translated, simply meant that from now on, the Eight Great Powers would protect the Zhou Family.

He never expected that the problem that had troubled him for many years and caused unrest throughout the Fang Family would be perfectly resolved by a single sentence from Zhong Qing.

Not only that!

With the eight top forces of the South Barren as their backing, it was foreseeable that the Fang Family’s return to its Peak was not an issue.

Even taking another step forward would not be difficult.

For him, today was a day like a dream.

The banquet concluded amidst everyone’s laughter.

And as the banquet ended!

Zhong Qing suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

He suddenly felt a massive wave of cultivation base continuously pouring into him.

The amount of this cultivation base was unimaginably vast, far exceeding anything he had experienced before!

His expression shifted!

He said to Fang Xiaotian, “Patriarch Fang, please help me prepare a secret chamber for secluded cultivation!”

To Fang Xiaotian, Zhong Qing was a great benefactor to the Fang Family; he not only saved his precious daughter but also resolved a great disaster for the Fang Family, giving them a bright and magnificent future.

Such a small request would naturally be fulfilled with utmost effort.

He immediately vacated the secret chamber with the most Spiritual Qi and the best geographical location in the Fang Family.

Inside the secret chamber!

Zhong Qing felt the continuous cultivation base feedback flowing into his body, and his spirit was instantly invigorated.

This cultivation base came from many sources.

There were more than two million Named Disciples, as well as several True Disciples.

And the largest portion came from the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan!

The sheer amount of this cultivation base feedback was enough to allow him to directly Breakthrough to the Saint Realm level.

Even within the Saint Realm, he could advance a considerable distance.

Before separating from the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan, Zhong Qing had given them an essence of fortune.

He knew that this essence of fortune would greatly increase the strength of the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan.

But even he himself did not expect it to increase so quickly and so fiercely.

“Rumble…”

As Zhong Qing added the returned cultivation base to himself, his Aura continuously rose.

His original Supreme Ninth Heaven cultivation base reached the Peak of the Supreme Ninth Realm in an instant.

Then to Perfection!

Then, with lightning speed, he directly Broke through to the Half-Saint level.

One foot stepped into the Saint Domain.

From Supreme to Half-Saint, this was a hurdle!

From Half-Saint to Saint, this was also a hurdle!

These two hurdles were like two natural moats, blocking the path of Supreme Cultivators.

However, these two hurdles, for Zhong Qing, were like two mere wrinkles; with a push and flatten of his Aura, he directly stepped from the Half-Saint Domain into the Saint Realm Domain.

The process was as simple as eating and drinking!

If anyone else had seen Zhong Qing’s advancement, they would probably have been scared to death.

They might even start to doubt life, complaining about the unfairness of Heaven and Earth.

From Supreme to Saint, countless people cultivated for thousands of years, yet could not take a small step forward.

And countless others sat in meditation for tens of thousands of years, or even their entire lives, until their eventual demise, without ever comprehending the mysteries of the Saint Realm.

But what about Zhong Qing?

It only took a few breaths!

It was not surprising that his Breakthrough was so rapid; it was simply that this energy was too vast, too pure, and its quality was ridiculously high.

Zhong Qing could even feel that one portion of the cultivation base feedback far exceeded the Saint Realm level, reaching the Great Saint-Grade.

He knew without thinking that that cultivation base came from Phoenix Aotian!

The cultivation base feedback from a Great Saint Realm expert, even if only one-fold, was immense for Zhong Qing, who was in the Supreme Realm.

What's more, there were other members of the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan.

It should be known that among the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan, there was one Great Saint expert and twelve Saint Realm experts.

The others were all at the Supreme level.

Phoenix Tian was even Zhong Qing’s Personal Disciple.

His cultivation base feedback could multiply by ten thousand times and apply to Zhong Qing.

How vast was this cultivation base feedback!

In just a few short breaths, Zhong Qing’s cultivation base increased by another large margin.

Reaching the Saint Realm Second Heaven!

This wave of improvement was too exaggerated!

It directly elevated Zhong Qing from the Supreme Realm Ninth Heaven to the Saint Realm Second Heaven.

Not only did it make him a true Saint Realm expert, but it also achieved a multi-level leap in cultivation improvement.

Moreover, this was not all.

There was still a large wave of cultivation base that had not been fully consumed.

Zhong Qing naturally used it all to enhance his cultivation base.

“Rumble…”

On his body, Holy Light permeated, divine light flickered, and Dao rhythm pulsed; lines of rule power floated around him, and rolling purple Qi surged out from his body.

This made him appear even more extraordinary, sacred, and magnificent, as if a True Immortal had descended.

Finally!

Zhong Qing’s cultivation base completely crossed into the Saint Realm Third Heaven, a continuous leap of four Heavens, and only then did the growth trend stop.

One wave of improvement!

It took him from Supreme Ninth Heaven to Saint Realm Fourth Heaven.

Even Zhong Qing couldn’t help but feel shocked by this wave of improvement.

This was no longer just riding a rocket; it was like riding an aircraft carrier.

It was only because Zhong Qing already knew that his cultivation Realm was a little different from others, and the amount he needed was also greater than others.

Otherwise, this wave of feedback alone would have been enough to push him to the Great Saint Realm.

Of course, although Zhong Qing’s Realm, relative to the same Realm, required a greater amount, his corresponding strength was also a tiny bit stronger than those of the same Realm.

“How much did the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan’s strength truly increase to allow me such terrifying advancement?”

While Zhong Qing was delighted by the increase in his cultivation base, he couldn’t help but feel a doubt.

At the same time!

In the North Continent!

Within a vast mountain range.

Terrifying Auras rose, as if one prehistoric beast after another had crossed ancient time and space to arrive in the present world.

And one of those figures was tens of thousands of feet tall, as if it wanted to be as high as the Heaven.

It exuded a mighty power, as if it wanted to overturn the earth and break open the sky!

Phoenix Aotian felt his cultivation base return to the Peak of the Great Saint Ninth Heaven, and he felt his state was better than ever before!

The former overlord of the Profound Domain had clearly returned.
