Crossing the Innate Realm, Directly Arriving at the Profound Gang Realm!

"No, there are no more forests ahead. The spiritual energy here is already abundant, so why not cultivate here?"

Gu Youwei sat cross-legged directly behind a large tree and began to absorb the nearby spiritual energy.

As expected, she only needed to slightly activate her internal energy, and her body immediately began to react!

Body Tempering Realm seventh level!

Body Tempering Realm eighth level!

Body Tempering Realm ninth level!

The surrounding spiritual energy continuously poured into Gu Youwei's body.

At this moment, Gu Youwei was like a black hole, sucking all the surrounding spiritual energy into her body!

In less than a few minutes, Gu Youwei had successfully broken through to the Innate Realm!

Feeling the changes in her body after breaking through to the Innate Realm, the corners of Gu Youwei's mouth couldn't help but curve upwards.

"The Heavenly Dao Bone's blessing really makes a difference."

"It actually allowed my cultivation to advance a major realm so quickly!"

"In my past life, Gu Chen stole my Heavenly Dao Bone, and even then I was able to cultivate into an Empress."

"Now that I possess the Heavenly Dao Bone, won't I be able to crush Gu Chen under my feet with ease?"

But now, Gu Youwei had an additional enemy in her heart.

That was, one day, she would kill He Changsong to avenge her humiliation!

But just as Gu Youwei was planning to continue breaking through her cultivation, wanting to reach the Profound Gang Realm in one go.

A young man's voice suddenly came from not far away.

"So you were here?"

Hearing this voice, Gu Youwei's eyes widened instantly!

Because she saw a young man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks standing not far from her.

And this person was actually Gu Feng!

East Desolation Commandery, Lingxu Secret Realm.

Shi Mengying passed through the First Divine Hall and entered a long corridor.

She was constantly and vigilantly searching for Gu Chen's figure.

And from time to time, she would shout, "Gu Chen, stop hiding!"

"It's no use hiding, I'll kill you in the end!"

However, there was no response from Gu Chen in the corridor.

Shi Mengying knew that Gu Chen must be too afraid to respond.

Continuing forward, Shi Mengying stood before the Glazed Long Bridge.

Gazing at the bizarre and colorful Glazed Long Bridge, Shi Mengying didn't take it seriously at all.

She walked directly onto it and swaggered towards the end of the bridge.

However, when Shi Mengying was halfway across.

Crack!

The middle of the Glazed Long Bridge broke!

Before Shi Mengying could even react, she fell directly into the bottomless abyss below.

Although Shi Mengying was a pearl of the Phoenix Clan, her current cultivation was only at the Third Level of Innate Realm.

She did not know the art of flying through the air, so she could only let her body plummet downwards.

Boom!

Soon, Shi Mengying heavily crashed at the bottom of the valley.

Falling from such a height, Shi Mengying felt as if her entire body was about to shatter.

But fortunately, her cultivation was not low, and with the blessing of the Phoenix Bloodline, the injuries she sustained were not very serious.

"Why did this bridge break halfway?"

"It must be that Gu Chen's doing again!"

"He's such a venomous person, he must have tampered with this bridge long ago!"

"Gu Chen, you'd better never let me catch you."

"Otherwise, I will definitely tear you into a thousand pieces!"

Shi Mengying roared in the darkness at the bottom of the valley, her voice echoing between the nearby stone walls.

It was only then that Shi Mengying realized that she seemed to be in a deep pit.

"Damn, why is it so dark around here?"

With a slight shift of her thoughts, Shi Mengying conjured a ball of flame at her fingertips.

After all, the Phoenix Bloodline flowed within Shi Mengying's body.

And the Phoenix Clan naturally mastered certain fire-attribute Cultivation Methods from birth.

However, Shi Mengying was currently only at the Third Level of Innate Realm, so her control over fire wasn't perfect yet.

But summoning a fireball for illumination was more than enough.

The flame at her fingertip grew larger, eventually hovering directly in front of Shi Mengying.

Using the light from this flame, Shi Mengying could finally see her surroundings.

Compared to the First Divine Hall, the situation here wasn't much better.

Scattered rubble was everywhere, and the once smooth, steep rock walls were now riddled with holes.

But then, Shi Mengying's brow furrowed.

Because she found bloodstains on nearby stones!

She quickly crouched down to examine the bloodstains, noticing they hadn't solidified, clearly indicating they were fresh.

"Could Gu Chen have met his end?"

This thought flashed through Shi Mengying's mind, but she quickly dismissed it.

The reason was the sheer amount of bloodstains on the surrounding stones.

Gu Chen was just one person; he couldn't possibly bleed this much even if he were injured.

Just as Shi Mengying was examining these strange bloodstains.

A massive shadow began to slowly appear behind her...

Lingxu Secret Realm, Third Divine Hall.

Gu Chen stared at the colossal crystal palace before him, his eyes filled with awe.

The scenery here was completely different from the previous two divine halls.

The walls, ceiling, floor, and pillars of the hall were all crafted from crystal-clear glazed crystal.

Describing the architecture before him as magnificent was an understatement.

If he had to find a word, one came to mind.

It was divine!

For the first time, the palace before him made Gu Chen feel like it truly resembled an ancient divine temple.

Following the crystal staircase forward, Gu Chen spotted a floating orb of light resting on a throne.

It was obvious that the orb on the throne contained the treasure of the Third Divine Hall.

However, as Gu Chen prepared to move forward.

Countless crystal blades suddenly attacked from all directions!

Gu Chen had nowhere to hide.

Just as the crystal blades were about to turn him into a sieve.

They all turned to dust when they were less than half a step away from him!

And Gu Chen hadn't made any move from beginning to end.

A sharp killing intent had merely flashed in his eyes.

"Strength of the Profound Gang Realm third level, not bad."

A slight smile played on Gu Chen's lips, his eyes devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

Time rewound ten minutes earlier.

The Crimson Mane Fierce Lion charged towards Gu Chen, wreathed in hellfire.

Gu Chen simply raised his right fist and struck the Crimson Mane Fierce Lion directly in the face!

Instantly, a surge of powerful energy rippled outwards.

It violently churned the rock wall's deep pit, leaving it in disarray!

When everything around them fell silent.

Gu Chen merely shook his wrist, completely unfazed.

Of course, if there was any effect, it was that his right hand felt a little hot, an uncomfortable sensation.
