Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed since Chen Xuan returned from the Jia Ma Imperial Family.
The Snake-People Tribe seemed especially vigilant that day. Many of its elders and Leaders had mobilized to guard every approach to the Snake-People Holy City, and the number of guards had increased severalfold.
At that moment, inside a secluded underground palace, Chen Xuan gazed toward the center of the hall with a slightly grave expression.
This was the Snake-People Tribe's Forbidden Grounds.
Two figures sat in the center of the Forbidden Grounds, their auras surging as waves of terrifying Dou Qi energy poured from their bodies.
Their auras showed no sign of stopping, continuing to build.
"I wonder whether Gu He and Yue Mei can break through to the Dou Emperor level."
As she watched Gu He and Yue Mei in the center of the Forbidden Grounds, Queen Medusa's voice rang out directly in Chen Xuan's mind.
"It shouldn't be much of a problem. After all, Gu He and Yue Mei both consumed immortal-grade herbs. Their aptitudes and bloodlines have improved enormously. Breaking through a Dou Emperor bottleneck now should be quite easy."
Chen Xuan spoke softly in response.
A few days earlier, Yue Mei and Gu He had reached Peak Dou Wang. Even Chen Xuan was somewhat astonished by their speed.
Such was the power of immortal-grade herbs!
They continually improved the pair's aptitudes and bloodline power from within their bodies, making their cultivation at the Dou Wang level seem almost free of bottlenecks.
Gu He had been especially excited after reaching Peak Dou Wang. He had immediately begged Chen Xuan to gather several sets of ingredients for Emperor-Breaking Pills so he could refine a few and make a direct push for the Dou Emperor realm.
