"Thump, thump-"
Yun Mo's heart began pounding violently, as though it were about to transform and reach another level.
He sat cross-legged in the Cultivation Courtyard, drawing all the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth there into his body. Then he circulated it through his Spirit Vein to the utmost before finally channeling it all into his aura sea.
Over and over, seemingly without pause.
Every wisp of spiritual energy drawn into his aura sea brought a change for the better, making it larger and more robust.
"Hum-"
After an unknown stretch of time, Yun Mo's entire body shuddered. A surge of immense spiritual pressure swept through the Cultivation Courtyard, spreading in wave-like vortices.
His eyes slowly opened, a sharp gleam flashing through them.
"You broke through." Sensing his aura, Wen Qingxuan parted her red lips.
"Yes. With enough accumulated power, breaking through wasn't going to be a problem. Besides, the mark didn't cause any serious interference this time." Yun Mo looked at her lovely face and smiled.
"Where's Lin Jing?" Yun Mo glanced around, a little puzzled.
Earlier, Lin Jing had challenged him to see who would break through first. She was aiming for the peak of Heaven Transformation, while he was aiming for the Heaven-reaching Realm. It seemed he had been the slower one this time.
"She got bored watching you take so long, so she went out on her own. According to her, she wanted to have a look around the area."
"So you didn't go with her because you stayed here specifically to guard me?" Yun Mo flashed over to Wen Qingxuan and sat beside her, lightly breathing in the rich fragrance that drifted from her.
Wen Qingxuan rolled her eyes at him. "Your progress is a little slow now. Time actually passes very quickly.
