One year later, ten years had passed within the Yin-Yang Heaven and Earth Formation, while the time within the Creation Cultivation Tower amounted to fifteen years of cultivation.
Within the formation in the Forbidden Grounds, another batch of elders and exceptionally gifted disciples began reaching the Late Mahayana Realm. Several dozen others had broken through their bottlenecks over the past year and attempted to reach the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. Even with Enlightenment Tea and Li Dalong's guidance and protection, only a mere ten had successfully survived their tribulations and entered the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
Even faced with the prospect of perishing beneath the lightning tribulation, not one of them backed down. Perhaps this powerful, fearless mentality was precisely the reason and driving force that had brought them this far.
Li Dalong was also moved by these elders' and disciples' unyielding determination and steadfast Dao Hearts. He tried every possible means to improve their defenses and offensive power.
He prepared defensive magical artifacts for them and provided Top-Grade Spirit Swords. Ever since the sign-in reward of the Yin-Yang Heaven and Earth Formation, the system seemed to have started merely going through the motions, and its rewards grew increasingly lackluster.
Most were pills, and the best prizes were Top-Grade Spirit Swords.
These were no longer of any use to Li Dalong. Apart from keeping three Top-Grade Spirit Swords for himself, he awarded all the others to the disciples of the Righteous Qi Sect.
Zhou Tianlong also rotated the first batch of disciples stationed outside into the Yin-Yang Heaven and Earth Formation in the Forbidden Grounds to cultivate.
He also arranged for several disciples who had performed well and rendered meritorious service to cultivate within the Creation Cultivation Tower. Under Zhou Tianlong's leadership and management, the entire sect's cultivation and cohesion improved greatly.
