The violent surge of spiritual energy let Liu Bai sense the changes in the spiritual energy within his body.
Compared to before, his spiritual energy had increased severalfold!
And that was not all. In Liu Bai's view, the Spiritual Energy Tribulation was much easier to overcome than the Body Tribulation.
After all, everyone's spiritual energy had been continuously tempered since the beginning of cultivation. So long as one had not relied on pills or other external means to raise their cultivation, those who reached this realm would not face too much danger when challenging the Spiritual Energy Tribulation.
Of course, that only meant there was no danger of death. It did not mean one would definitely succeed. Even someone as talented as Mo Xingtian had failed to succeed on his first attempt at the Spiritual Energy Tribulation.
However, with every attempt, one's spiritual energy would become purer and denser, providing a certain boost in strength.
The process required an enormous supply of spiritual energy, though. Spiritual energy inevitably diminished during purification, so sufficient time was needed after each attempt to replenish the expenditure.
This required some other object rich in spiritual energy as a supplement.
Of course, directly fusing with a divine object as Liu Bai had done was even more effective, but not everyone could use such a method...
Once everything returned to calm, the many Outer Disciples disturbed by Liu Bai's breakthrough gradually withdrew their attention and resumed cultivating. Even the hot-tempered ones merely cursed quietly in their rooms. No one foolish enough dared come knocking to make trouble.
Those who could become Outer Disciples of the Fire God Sect might be proud and arrogant, or think highly of themselves, but none of them were idiots. Especially those from extraordinary backgrounds—they knew perfectly well whom they could provoke
