Hearing Jing Lian Yao Sheng's words, Gu He fell into thought.
To advance to the Half-Emperor realm, it seemed one first had to attain an Emperor Realm soul. His soul had grown immensely through his continuously increasing strength, especially after the Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation. Though he did not dare claim that he had already met the requirements to advance to an Emperor Realm soul, he should be at the Heavenly Realm Great Perfection closest to the Emperor Realm. What he lacked was likely just an opportunity.
"Since you have already told me about the advancement, I'll take you to the Demonic Flame Space!" Gu He said as he flew before Jing Lian Yao Sheng's phantom.
He would see whether this opportunity could be found within the Demonic Flame Space.
Jing Lian Yao Sheng nodded and transformed back into a ball of light, floating in the air.
With a wave of Gu He's hand, the ball of light was caught in his palm. He then removed the restrictions on this space and flew outside.
Ever since the three great experts had left the Demonic Flame Space last time, although the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame remained arrogant, he had become much more rational. He understood that only here was he at his strongest, capable of fighting a Nine-star Dou Sheng. Once outside, many people could defeat him or even refine him. Thus, even though no one had stopped him from leaving after the three great experts departed, he had not left the Demonic Flame Space.
At this moment, he was cultivating at the bottom of the magma in the depths of the space. Over these nearly two years, his strength had advanced further, nearly reaching the late Six-Star Dou Sheng stage. His control over the Heaven Refining Ancient Array had also improved.
