"Yunyun, did you sense something? Has something changed on Xisheng's side?"
The moment Chu Yunyun paused her cultivation, Su Fengdao, sitting nearby, sensed it and opened her eyes to look at her.
She knew this married couple shared a peculiar telepathic connection.
"Yes!"
Chu Yunyun said succinctly, "Xisheng has completed his advancement. He's reached Lower Second-Rank! There should still be many Heavenly Order imprints to complete, but that shouldn't pose much of a problem. He's already passed the hardest hurdle."
Her words startled everyone aboard the Thunderclap Cosmic Shuttle out of meditation, leaving them deeply heartened.
"Xisheng has already advanced?"
Surprise appeared in Yan Guilai's eyes. He clicked his tongue in admiration. "Junior Brother Chu really is incredible. With so many gods watching and so many sending down incarnations, he still forced his way into Second-Rank."
Lu Shouyang nodded in wholehearted agreement. "Indeed. I used to worry that our junior brother's edge was too exposed. Not only were the Four Great Shenshan in the North deeply wary of him, but many powerful gods were watching him too. Advancing his cultivation body would be more than ten times harder than for anyone else-probably over a hundred times harder. Yet Junior Brother Chu still broke through that impasse."
"Junior Brother Chu's tyrant body is extraordinary! His bloodline power far surpasses even the Blood-Yazi Saber Lord's."
Ao Guo was equally moved. "Once he advances to Second-Rank, his combat strength can actually surpass the Saber Lord of old."
Su Fengdao shook her head. "He's much stronger than the Saber Lord now. The Saber Lord's shortcoming back then was his physical body: he couldn't form an innate divine body. Xisheng has no such problem. He can take that step with ease. I've never seen a martial cultivator like him, without a single weakness anywhere."
