After accumulating and honing her cultivation over this period, she too had reached the bottleneck of the Earth Immortal Realm and could break through to become a Profound Immortal.
"All right, I'll break through first, Xue'er second, and you third, Wuxia. Let's begin in that order."
"Let's head out first. When the time comes, stay inside the cave and don't come out. I'll break through outside," Li Dalong told Ye Wuxia and Zhou Xue of his arrangements.
"All right!" the two women replied.
Li Dalong led the two women out of the cave. They moved much faster this time, reaching the entrance in less than half a day.
Li Dalong motioned for the two women to stay inside and not venture out, then casually set up an aura-concealing formation at the entrance. It cut off the auras inside from those outside, preventing the Heavenly Dao from counting the two women as participants when he underwent his breakthrough tribulation, which would increase its difficulty and danger.
Li Dalong set up a talisman Magic Formation in the middle of the valley to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation. Then he sat cross-legged in its center and absorbed the Immortal Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth, preparing to break through.
As he cultivated, the spiritual power accumulated within him reached its peak, and the sky above the valley began to change. Clouds and lightning appeared, tribulation lightning slowly took shape, and the oppressive might of thunder emerged in the sky. An immense sense of pressure filled the entire sky.
Fortunately, Li Dalong had already accumulated enough, his cultivation was profound, and his divine sense was far stronger than that of cultivators at the same level. After losing several top-grade spiritual artifacts, he successfully survived the tribulation and smoothly broke through to the Mysterious Immortal Realm.
