Glacial Immortal King and Wu Qingqing saw that Song Zhong truly did not fear the lightning in the void, so they set their minds at ease, found a place, and began cultivating.
Before they knew it, the days passed one after another.
About a hundred and fifty days later.
Song Zhong's aura suddenly surged.
Second level of the True Lord Realm!
He had broken through again!
A look of delight appeared on Song Zhong's face. Sure enough, his current breakthrough speed was far faster than before.
Before he absorbed the Primordial Chaos Qi, even breaking through in the Venerable Realm had taken him more than two hundred days.
Breaking through in the True Lord Realm should have taken even longer than in the Venerable Realm, yet now it took less time.
In that case, if he found more Primordial Chaos Qi, wouldn't his breakthrough speed become even faster!
He just did not know where he could find Primordial Chaos Qi!
On a mountain peak not far away, Glacial Immortal King and Wu Qingqing, who had been cultivating, abruptly opened their eyes wide and stared toward Song Zhong in shock.
"Another breakthrough?"
"In just over a hundred days, he broke through again?"
"Forget a hundred days. After entering the True Lord Realm, being able to break through in a hundred or two hundred years would already count as top-tier talent.
Yet he only took a little over a hundred days!"
Glacial Immortal King was utterly dumbfounded. She herself possessed the most exceptional talent.
She was also the youngest Immortal King in the entire Human Race!
Her breakthrough speed was already fast enough, yet she could not compare with Song Zhong at all.
Breaking through within the True Lord Realm in just over a hundred days!
She had never heard of anything like it!
Even after absorbing Primordial Chaos Qi, his breakthrough speed should not have become this fast!
If Song Zhong could keep breaking through at this speed...
The thought had only just surfaced in her mind when she vigorously shook her head. How could anyone possibly keep breaking through this quickly!
"Hmm? Heavenly tribulation?"
Suddenly, she looked up into the void, only to see the Tribulation Clouds there growing even denser.
"This is... a new heavenly tribulation appearing while the previous one has yet to end? Another new heavenly tribulation?
Is it because Song Zhong broke through too quickly?
That can happen?"
Not only she, but everyone in Piaomiao Sect also noticed the heavenly tribulation that had appeared once more above the Forbidden Ground.
"What is going on? Another heavenly tribulation?"
"Could someone have broken through again?"
"What a coincidence. Are they all people from the Grand Elder and Great Elder's faction who are breaking through?"
"But we have not heard of anyone about to break through."
"This is truly strange."
Everyone was bewildered.
However, the one undergoing tribulation was inside the Forbidden Ground, and they could not enter it.
They could only speculate.
Forbidden Ground.
Beside Glacial Immortal King and Wu Qingqing, the figure of the sect leader, Piaomiao Immortal King, appeared.
The sect leaders of the various great sects, whether Immortal Kings or True Lords—
Before becoming sect leaders, they might have had other titles. But after becoming sect leaders, everyone addressed them by the name of their great sect followed by the suffix Immortal King or True Lord.
Even though Piaomiao Immortal King was an Immortal King and the leader of a great sect, a look of astonishment appeared on her face as she watched Song Zhong undergoing tribulation.
"He broke through again. This breakthrough speed, this way of undergoing tribulation... a monster, an unparalleled monster!"
She simply stopped there instead of leaving.
Wu Qingqing looked at her master, then at the sect leader who had flown over, and finally turned her gaze toward Song Zhong. She always felt that something was not quite right.
Then, a hundred and fifty-five days later.
Song Zhong's aura surged once more.
Third level of the True Lord Realm!
"He broke through again!"
"And it was only a little over a hundred and fifty days!"
"Could he really keep breaking through like this forever?"
The three women all widened their eyes as they watched Song Zhong's aura surge again. At the same time, the Tribulation Clouds in the void changed once more.
Piaomiao Immortal King's expression abruptly changed. Her aura soared as she fiercely waved a hand toward the void. In an instant, a ray of light rose and concealed this stretch of void.
For a time, the entire Forbidden Ground was shrouded in mist. Even the heavenly tribulation in the void could no longer be seen.
This world within the Forbidden Ground seemed to have vanished from Piaomiao Sect.
"We cannot let others see that heavenly tribulations have continuously descended here," Piaomiao Immortal King said gravely. "Once or twice, people might think someone happened to keep breaking through.
But if heavenly tribulations keep descending, everyone will know that something is wrong."
She had to conceal this world.
Elsewhere, even as an Immortal King, she would not have been able to hide heavenly tribulations falling from the sky.
But this was the Forbidden Ground. With the aid of its great formation, she could still conceal the heavenly tribulations.
Another hundred and sixty days later, she discovered that she had made the right decision.
Song Zhong broke through again.
Moreover, as Song Zhong broke through, another new heavenly tribulation appeared in the void.
"One tribulation after another, with heavenly tribulations continuously appearing... I have never seen anything like this."
Piaomiao Immortal King exclaimed in amazement, "A monster—this is an unparalleled monster!"
She turned to Wu Qingqing and said, "Moonrise, you found our Piaomiao Sect an extraordinary monster!
If he keeps breaking through like this, and new heavenly tribulations keep appearing, who knows how far he will break through!"
She did not know. Glacial Immortal King and Wu Qingqing did not know either.
They all waited.
And that wait lasted until Song Zhong broke through into the tenth level of the True Lord Realm.
The three women were stunned once again.
"No! He was already at the ninth level of the True Lord Realm. If he broke through again, he should have entered the Immortal Qi Realm. Why is he still in the True Lord Realm!"
"The legendary tenth level of the True Lord Realm!"
According to legend, each cultivation realm did not truly have nine levels, but ten!
Only by attaining flawless perfection in one's current realm could one condense the tenth level!
They had also condensed a tenth level before, though not in the True Lord Realm, but in realms such as the Immortal Bridge Realm and the Star River Realm.
After the Star River Realm, they had never condensed a tenth level again!
Song Zhong could condense a tenth level even in the True Lord Realm!
This...
While the three women were astonished.
Blood Fiend Demonic Sect.
After hearing his subordinate's report, Blood Fiend Immortal King's expression turned ugly to the extreme.
That Song Zhong still was not leaving Piaomiao Sect.
He wanted to continue waiting, but the Kindling Order could wait no longer.
The Kindling Order had now completely taken control of the Northern Wastelands.
Yet they did not have the Prosperity Token.
Without the Prosperity Token, their control over the Northern Wastelands held no meaning.
The Kindling Order could not wait any longer!
They wanted to kill Song Zhong as soon as possible and seize the Prosperity Token.
Yet Song Zhong remained inside Piaomiao Sect and would not leave.
"So now, we can only force Song Zhong to go out?
Fine. Then I shall make a trip myself.
Soon enough, even if you refuse to come out, you will have no choice but to come out!
And then, neither your cultivation partner nor your cultivation partner's master will be there to protect you!
Once I take the Prosperity Token, you will die!"
Soon, Blood Fiend Immortal King's figure vanished as he flew toward the Nether Spirits Demonic Sect.
The Nether Spirits Demonic Sect was one of the five strongest great sects currently ruling the demonic path.
