Lili's breakthrough to the Fifth Order had not been unexpected. Ever since Yunxi ascended to the Weiling Realm, Lili had been gathering strength. Recently, it had been cultivating at Yunxi's side, and after entering the Sleeping Dragon Mountain Range, it had begun to feel drowsy. Once Yunxi and Yun Po had set up their trap for Han Qingwen, Lili sent Yunxi a voice transmission:
"Your Excellency, I'm about to break through."
The next instant, Yunxi sensed the lock-on of the Thunder Tribulation. After informing Yun Po, she carried Lili to a mountaintop in the Inner Ring where no Demon Beasts dwelled. She flashed back to a safe distance and tossed Lili a defensive formation disk, telling it to activate it only if it could no longer hold on.
Yun Po flashed to Yunxi's side and said with a smile:
"Lili's breakthrough came at exactly the right time. I've already instructed Jin Xiu to mislead Han Qingwen, making him think this is the commotion we created to cover up the opening of the ancient cultivator's ruined estate. He's already heading for the Inner Ring."
Yunxi curled her lips into a smile after hearing that, feeling that Lili had chosen its timing well. She then asked:
"How many people did Han Qingwen bring with him?"
"From what Jin Xiu said, everyone above the Void Refining stage came."
"Not bad. They're worth us making a move."
"Don't worry. Han Qingwen is so cautious that even if he acts, he'll first send his disciples to test the waters. He won't strike until he has investigated everything clearly. We have plenty of time."
"That would be for the best."
After saying that, the two of them calmly watched Lili undergo its tribulation.
Lili's breakthrough this time could be considered the result of long accumulation finally
