Breakthrough, Discovered
As energy circulates continuously, Li Yunjing's meridians are constantly widened and strengthened.
His bones, muscles, and blood were being constantly tempered by the energy of the divine crystal.
His skin became increasingly translucent and radiant, emitting a faint, precious glow.
His aura grew stronger and stronger.
The divine crystal on the stone platform was shrinking at a rate visible to the naked eye.
The energy inside continuously flowed into Li Yunjing's body.
Time passed second by second.
After an unknown amount of time, the energy within Li Yunjing's body finally reached a critical point.
Boom!
A loud bang resounded inside Li Yunjing's body.
The bottleneck in his body has finally been broken!
An even more powerful aura erupted from Li Yunjing, sweeping across the entire cave.
Rocks from the cave ceiling began to fall down.
The entire cave was shaking violently.
Li Yunjing's cultivation level finally broke through from the Early Dao Union to the Dao Union Middle Stage!
After breaking through, Li Yunjing did not stop cultivating. He continued to absorb the remaining energy of the divine crystal to consolidate his cultivation.
Another hour passed, and the divine crystal on the stone platform finally disappeared completely.
Li Yunjing slowly opened his eyes.
Two beams of light shot from his eyes, piercing through the void like sharp swords.
His aura grew even deeper and more terrifying.
Every gesture he made carried an aura of world-destroying power.
After breaking through to the Dao Union Middle Stage, Li Yunjing's strength increased several times over.
He has already cultivated the Supreme Unity Pure Subtlety Scripture to the seventh level.
Moreover, the Nine True Magnetic Light Sword, nourished by the divine crystal energy, evolved into Spirit Treasure, greatly increasing its power.
Li Yunjing clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within him, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Great! I've finally broken through to the Dao Union Middle Stage!" Li Yunjing thought to himself. "Now, even if I face a cultivator at the Dao Union Perfection, I have a fighting chance."
Just then, an angry roar suddenly came from outside the cave.
"Who?! Who trespassed into the ancestral master's tomb?!"
"Oh no! The protective barrier around the Ancestral Master's tomb has been broken! The army of ghost soldiers has also been wiped out!"
"Quick! Catch that intruder!"
"..."
Li Yunjing frowned slightly.
It seems that the commotion he caused during his breakthrough did alert the Myriad Gu Sect.
"What's meant to come will come," Li Yunjing said calmly.
He straightened his robes and then stepped out of the cave.
When Li Yunjing stepped out of the stone tomb, the area outside was already surrounded by disciples of the Myriad Gu Sect.
Leading the group were none other than the Old Man Wandu and all the elders of the Myriad Gu Sect.
The moment Li Yunjing appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
Everyone looked over angrily and, upon seeing it was Li Yunjing Li Yunjing, their eyes widened in shock, their gazes filled with murderous intent.
The Old Man Wandu had a face so gloomy it could drip water.
He stared intently at Li Yunjing, gritting his teeth as he said, "Li Yunjing! How dare you! You actually dared to trespass on the ancestral tomb of my Ten Thousand Myriad Gu Sect Myriad Gu Sect, break the sect's restrictions, and even wipe out the Yin army left behind by my ancestor! Do you really think my Myriad Gu Sect is without anyone?!"
Li Yunjing looked calmly at the Old Man Wandu and said indifferently, "I just came in to find something. Now that I've found it, I will naturally leave."
As for the restrictions and Yin army left behind by your Myriad Gu Sect's founder, who allowed these things to block my path?
"Looking for something?" The Old Man Wandu trembled with rage. "You trespassed into the forbidden area of my Myriad Gu Sect Myriad Gu Sect, killed my disciples, and destroyed the Yin Army left behind by my ancestor! And now you say you just came in to look for something?!"
"Still blocking your way? There are plenty of things in the world that block your way, are you going to destroy them all?"
He pointed at Li Yunjing and roared, "I'm telling you, you won't leave here alive today! I'll tear you to pieces and use your blood to appease the ancestors of my Myriad Gu Sect!"
"That's right! Kill him! Avenge our fallen disciple!"
"Kill him! Avenge our patriarch!"
"We cannot let him leave alive, otherwise what will become of the reputation of the Myriad Gu Sect!?"
"..."
The elders and disciples of the Myriad Gu Sect also roared in anger.
Armed with weapons, they were eager to rush forward and tear Li Yunjing to pieces.
Li Yunjing looked at the angry Myriad Gu Sect disciples in front of him, his face expressionless.
He said calmly, "I advise you not to take action, otherwise, you will bear the consequences."
"Bear the consequences yourself?" The Old Man Wandu sneered, saying, "Li Yunjing, don't think that just because you have some strength, you can do whatever you want in my Myriad Gu Sect! This is Myriad Gu Mountain Old Man Wandu, my territory! Today, even if you have extraordinary abilities, you won't be able to escape!"
After saying that, the Old Man Wandu winked at the elders behind him.
The elders understood and immediately dispersed, surrounding Li Yunjing.
The aura emanating from the Old Man Wandu erupted instantly, revealing that his cultivation level was actually at the Late Dao Union —a rare sight indeed!
Moreover, a thick cloud of poisonous mist emanated from his body.
These poisonous fumes are highly corrosive; even cultivators at the Dao Union Stage would die from poisoning if inhaled.
"Li Yunjing, prepare to die!"
The Old Man Wandu roared and formed a hand seal.
"Myriad Gu Devour the Heart!"
Countless poisonous insects flew out from his sleeves, rushing towards Li Yunjing like a black tide.
These poisonous insects are all Gu worms carefully cultivated by the Old Man Wandu, and each one carries a deadly poison.
"A trivial skill."
Li Yunjing said calmly, his Supreme Unity Pure Subtlety Scripture full power within his body.
A golden light of purification erupted from his body.
Wherever the purifying light passed, the poisonous insects instantly turned to ashes.
"What?!"
The Old Man Wandu' expression changed drastically. He never expected that his proud Myriad Gu Devour the Heart would be so easily broken by Li Yunjing.
"Impossible! This is impossible!" the Old Man Wandu roared madly, "My Gu worms are the most poisonous Gu worms in the world! How could you break them so easily!"
Li Yunjing ignored him and slowly raised the Nine True Magnetic Light Sword.
"Since you insist on taking action, then I will grant your wish."
Li Yunjing's voice was icy and chilling.
A terrifying pressure emanated from him, enveloping the entire cemetery.
The disciples of the Myriad Gu Sect trembled under this oppressive aura, barely able to hold their weapons.
The Old Man Wandu ' expression also became extremely solemn.
He could sense that Li Yunjing's strength had increased significantly compared to before.
Just now at the banquet, Li Yunjing's cultivation level was only at the Early Dao Union.
But now, he has actually broken through to the Dao Union Middle Stage!
How is that possible?!
In just a few hours, he broke through from the Early Dao Union to the Dao Union Middle Stage?!
This is simply a fantasy!
For the first time, fear gripped the heart of the Old Man Wandu.
Although he was at the Late Dao Union realm, he felt a sense of powerlessness when facing Li Yunjing.
The Old Man Wandu trusted his intuition; he knew he was no match for Li Yunjing.
But now that things have come to this, he has no way out.
"Everyone, attack together! Kill him!"
The Old Man Wandu roared and charged towards Li Yunjing first.
The elders of the Myriad Gu Sect also mustered their courage and followed the Old Man Wandu, rushing towards Li Yunjing.
