223: Reaching the second level of Quasi-Emperor

Cao Bu silently recited the Primal Yin-Yang Scripture in his heart, and the cultivation technique within his body circulated at an unprecedented speed.

His body turned into a bottomless black hole, greedily absorbing the vast Yin and Yang Spiritual Qi around him.

Under the impact of this majestic energy, the Realm Barriers shattered one after another!

Eighth Stage World Venerable!

Ninth Stage World Venerable!

Peak World Venerable!

Half-step Quasi-Emperor!

His aura climbed steadily, with Dao rhymes flowing around him, sometimes showing the differentiation of Yin and Yang, and sometimes manifesting the birth and death of all things.

A precious light faintly appeared beneath his skin, his bones emitted sounds like jade chimes, and his blood surged like a great river.

Time passed rapidly as the Formation operated.

Cao Bu was completely immersed, cultivating with all his heart and soul.

Throughout the Spirit Realm, all the experts were startled by this earth-shaking commotion.

Countless Cultivators looked up at the sky, their expressions changing as they felt the heart-palpitating fluctuations of Spiritual Qi and the terrifying pressure coming from the distant mountain Peak.

"This momentum... could someone be breaking through to Great Emperor!?"

"To trigger a riot of Yin and Yang Spiritual Qi throughout the Spirit Realm, it must be a Great Emperor Tribulation! Could it be that the Yin-Yang Heavenly Emperor has died?"

"The direction is Inverted Mountain. Is that the Gu Clan? That person seems to be Cao Bu!?"

Numerous Divine Senses pierced through the sky, reaching the Peak of Inverted Mountain.

Upon seeing the figure sitting cross-legged in the center of the Formation, they all showed shocked expressions.

One must know that it hadn't been long since the news of Cao Bu's Dantian recovery spread.

Now his cultivation was actually causing such a huge commotion.

It was truly terrifying to the extreme!

A sigh filled with surprise rang out: "Yin and Yang converging, a Quasi-Emperor in a single day. This boy's presence is even more overbearing than Gu Qingtian, who once suppressed an entire era." This was the voice of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

In another ancient land where Sword Intent soared to the sky: "Interesting. After Gu Qingtian, another person has emerged to stir up the winds and clouds." The Ye Heavenly Emperor cast his gaze from afar.

"Gu Qingtian's Adopted Son, Cao Bu?" The Chu Heavenly Emperor's eyes held a look of inquiry.

At the same time.

Deep within the Yuanji Imperial Sect.

Mu Zining stood leaning against a railing, her white clothes as pure as snow.

Her cold eyes looked toward Inverted Mountain. Feeling that familiar aura, her red lips parted slightly as she silently mouthed that name.

Great Qin Imperial Dynasty.

Qin Bingyao felt something, and her delicate body trembled slightly.

She walked out of the Imperial Study and looked at the vortex of Spiritual Qi stirring the winds and clouds in the southern sky. An excited expression appeared on her cold, beautiful face.

"Is he about to break through to Quasi-Emperor? That's wonderful."

At this moment, Lu Chen walked over from nearby.

"Bing Yao, what is that?"

Without turning her head, Qin Bingyao said, "It's Big Brother. Today is a Yin Hour Yang Day; he might be entering the Quasi-Emperor Realm."

"What!?" Lu Chen was first startled, then laughed loudly. "Quasi-Emperor! If Big Brother becomes a Quasi-Emperor, then he won't be far from becoming a Great Emperor!"

"Hahaha! Cao Bu is going to become an Emperor! Cao Bu is going to become an Emperor!"

He excitedly turned and ran away, cheering all the way.

"System, did you hear that? Cao Bu will soon be a Quasi-Emperor, only one step away from Great Emperor!"

Lu Chen said to the System within his body.

The instant kill great emperor system wept with joy: "Host, our efforts have not been in vain. This is wonderful!"

At this moment, it finally felt the heavy burden on its shoulders lighten a bit.

At the same time, it looked forward even more to the day Cao Bu truly became an Emperor.

When that time came, it would bring its Host, Lu Chen, to descend with overwhelming power and crush him with a single finger!

Yunxiao Pavilion.

In a quiet courtyard.

Lu Qingwu's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.

"It's only been how long since I left him? How is he already about to break through to Quasi-Emperor?"

Just as the entire Spirit Realm was shaken by Cao Bu's Breakthrough.

Myriad Laws Forbidden Abyss.

This place was filled with terrifying restrictions; even if a True Immortal descended, their cultivation would be suppressed to the Realm King Realm.

On an ancient altar.

The Yin-Yang Heavenly Emperor looked at the thin Yin and Yang Spiritual Qi gathering in the Formation, his face flushing red with anger.

Feeling the majestic torrent of Spiritual Qi surging toward Inverted Mountain across the world, he was first stunned, and then he understood.

"Preposterous!!"

"Which bastard is it!? How dare they intercept this Emperor's fortune!?"

"It must be the Array Emperor. In the entire Spirit Realm, only his attainments in Formations are above mine."

"Dammit, what use does the Array Emperor have for Yin and Yang Spiritual Qi? This is absolutely unforgivable!"

The Yin-Yang Heavenly Emperor was so angry he nearly spat blood, his furious curses echoing in the abyss for a long time.

He had intended to use this to charge toward the Immortal Path, but who knew that eighty percent of the Yin and Yang Spiritual Qi in the world was being drawn toward Inverted Mountain, leaving him with only ten percent.

The remaining ten percent was dissipated throughout the world.

"Forget it, even with that Spiritual Qi, I might not have necessarily achieved Immortal Ascension."

He looked at the Barrier outside the Myriad Laws Forbidden Abyss, his gaze gradually turning cold. "Soon. In a year at most, I will be able to leave this place."

"With the help of this supreme treasure, I will definitely be able to trample the Gu Clan!"

He opened his hand, and half of a pitch-black dagger appeared in his palm.

This was a strange object he had obtained in the depths of the Myriad Laws Forbidden Abyss; even with his experience, he couldn't see through it.

From this, he guessed that it might be a damaged Immortal Artifact.

With this item in hand, why would he worry about not being able to break the backup plans left behind by Gu Qingtian?

While the Yin-Yang Heavenly Emperor was cursing, the Cultivators in the Spirit Realm who cultivated the Yin-Yang Law were also cursing in their hearts.

They were supposed to break through at least one minor Realm today, but after this incident, how could they possibly break through?

Some Cultivators closer to Inverted Mountain simply rushed in that direction.

Before long, over a dozen Cultivators who practiced the Yin-Yang Law arrived near Inverted Mountain.

Feeling the Yin and Yang Spiritual Qi here, which was a hundred times denser than usual, everyone was overjoyed.

"Cultivating here for one day is comparable to a hundred days normally! Wouldn't it be even faster in the central area?"

Just then.

Su Li and Leng Yue walked out from the mist of Spiritual Qi.

The two of them held their longswords horizontally and said coldly, "Everyone, do not approach within a hundred miles of this place."

The group of Cultivators recognized them and were all startled.

It had only been so long, yet the cultivation of these two Mistresses of the Gu Clan had already become so strong that they couldn't even clearly sense it.

At this moment, a blood-clothed demonic cultivator stepped forward, cupped his fists, and said, "Two Mistresses, could you allow us to Cultivate on the mountainside? We promise we will never disturb Clan Chief Cao's cultivation."

Su Li flicked her wrist, and a sword light flashed like lightning.

That blood-clothed demonic cultivator fell on the spot.

Everyone took a step back in unison, their faces turning pale.

Leng Yue stepped forward and glanced around, her voice icy. "This is a warning. If you do not retreat, you die."

The Cultivators looked at each other and ultimately did not dare to disobey, retreating a hundred miles away.

At least here, the Spiritual Qi was fifty times denser than in other places.

Soon, more and more Cultivators arrived.

After hearing about what happened earlier, they all honestly sat cross-legged to Cultivate a hundred miles away.

No one dared to set foot on the mountain Peak again.

Seeing the situation stabilize, Su Li and Leng Yue sheathed their swords and stood there, continuing their silent guard.

At the Peak of Inverted Mountain.

An hour later, Cao Bu stabilized his Half-step Quasi-Emperor Realm and began to charge at the true Quasi-Emperor Barrier.

Three hours later, the sound of the Quasi-Emperor Barrier shattering echoed within his body.

Six hours later, he successfully broke through to the First Heaven Quasi-Emperor Realm.

His rising momentum did not stop; the Yin and Yang Spiritual Qi gathered in the Formation continued to flow endlessly and became increasingly pure.

A day's time passed quickly in cultivation.

When the sun and moon crossed again, the singular point of the Yin and Yang convergence gradually dissipated, and the heavenly phenomena began to calm.

The light of the Formation slowly dimmed.

The gazes of the Array Emperor, Su Li, Leng Yue, and The Black and White Elders were all tightly locked on the center of the Formation.

As the Spiritual Qi dissipated, Cao Bu's figure was revealed.

He sat there quietly, his temperament already completely different.

He seemed to be the center of the world's Yin and Yang, carrying an invisible majesty in his every movement.

Second Heaven Quasi-Emperor!

Within a single day, he broke through several Realms in succession, entering directly into the Second Heaven Quasi-Emperor Realm!

This not only broke the Spirit Realm's cultivation records throughout history, but its grand momentum also shook the entire Spirit Realm.
