The subtle thread of connection to Li Miaoxuan within his mind suddenly vanished. He and Li Miaoxuan were also Dao companions who practiced dual cultivation of their divine souls, so no matter how far apart they were, they could still faintly sense one another.
But Gu Yuanqing did not panic. Their karmic bond had not vanished, and the red thread still connected them, which meant nothing had happened to Li Miaoxuan herself.
He understood at once. Li Miaoxuan's true spirit had fallen into extinction, and her being had returned to nothingness. She must have been preparing to break through to Golden Immortal.
Gu Yuanqing knew Li Miaoxuan very well. During their last meeting, they had practiced dual cultivation and exchanged insights into their cultivation. Her foundations had been exceptionally solid. Presumably, after returning, she had received an opportunity from her sect and pushed her cultivation to its limits, attempting the breakthrough only once she was confident.
However, the path to Golden Immortal was not so easy to walk. This tribulation was perilous; most Celestial Immortal cultivators who entered extinction never awakened again. Gu Yuanqing still felt some concern.
But they were separated by two worlds, and Li Miaoxuan's breakthrough site was certainly protected within the Great Void Immortal Sect's forbidden grounds. As one of the Immortal Realm's foremost immortal sects, it naturally had Golden Immortal Lords, and legends spoke of ancestors at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level as well. Without coordinates to guide him, even the Heavenly Angling Technique would have difficulty forcibly reaching Li Miaoxuan.
After a while, Gu Yuanqing withdrew his gaze. Breaking through to Golden Immortal was not so simple. It involved a comprehensive transformation of the true spirit, divine soul,
Immortal body, Heavenly Human World, and more. Even he had taken several years back then.
