He glanced at his own bloodied body and surroundings, then turned to Xiao Mengdie, whose face was pale with terror, with a slight smile on his lips.
"Good morning, Miss Xiao."
Gu Sheng’s tone was calm, as if he were simply greeting after just waking up.
"You... you..."
Xiao Mengdie pointed at Gu Sheng, her finger trembling.
"Are you cultivating or committing suicide?"
Gu Sheng stood up, flexing his muscles, as his joints emitted cracking sounds.
He casually wiped the blood off his face and laughed.
"It’s just a secret technique cultivation, these are impurities and stagnant blood expelled after refining the foundation."
"Refining foundation?"
Xiao Mengdie looked at him questioningly.
"Who refines the foundation like this? My father said that the foundation should be built gradually..."
Her words abruptly stopped because Gu Sheng suddenly erupted with a powerful surge of True Qi!
"This is..."
Xiao Mengdie’s eyes widened.
Gu Sheng was also stunned, feeling the surging True Qi within his body.
Last night, he broke through nine death points, and the True Qi rushed through his meridians. Unknowingly, he had crossed the bottleneck of the Seventh and Eighth Levels of the Xuanwu Realm and was now launching an assault on the Earth Martial Realm!
"Not good!"
Gu Sheng’s expression slightly changed. Breaking through to the Earth Martial Realm requires a stable environment and someone’s protection; otherwise, it’s easy to fall into madness.
Xiao Mengdie also sensed the anomaly, her delicate face changed color.
"You want to break through to the Earth Martial Realm? Here?"
Gu Sheng smiled bitterly.
"It seems so."
"Are you crazy!"
Xiao Mengdie stamped her foot in anxiety.
"Breaking through to the Earth Martial Realm is extremely dangerous, you haven’t even prepared! I... I’ll go find my father to protect you!"
"Rise from death, establish after breaking!"
Gu Sheng sat cross-legged as True Qi surged within him.
After the nine death points were connected, his meridians seemed to form a heavenly path, with True Qi surging endlessly, each cycle making his aura more formidable.
"Boom!"
A white rainbow of True Qi shot up from his Heavenly Spirit, piercing the nine heavens.
In the sky, auspicious clouds gathered, forming a massive vortex, as if the heavens and earth were celebrating this momentous breakthrough.
Outside the courtyard, Xiao Mengdie parted her lips slightly, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"How... how is this possible? A breakthrough from the Xuanwu Realm to the Earth Martial Realm can actually evoke celestial phenomena?"
She had personally witnessed her father Xiao Xuanze breaking through to the Sect Realm’s spectacular scene, but that was a high-level cultivator’s breakthrough.
Yet Gu Sheng, transitioning from the Xuanwu Realm to the Earth Martial Realm, could trigger such phenomena, which was simply unheard of.
