Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 414: Promotion to Void Refining Late Stage, Eighty-First Layer of the Blue Thunder Tribulation, Crossing the Void with the Physical Body

"So you're saying that there are a lot of people on Fengxi Island?" Wu Di asked curiously.

From the description, it was clear that there must be an enormous population living on Fengxi Island.

Otherwise, how could such a vast island be developed?

"That's right. Currently, the population of Fengxi Island is around 130 billion," Void Refining cultivator Zheng Fan carefully thought and gave an approximate number.

"Over 100 billion people? Can this island support so many cultivators?" Wu Di was completely dumbfounded.

No matter how much he imagined, he couldn't have expected that there would be so many people on Fengxi Island. It was truly exaggerated.

With over 100 billion people, who knows how many cultivators were born among them.

It was like eating up all the resources of the entire island, enough to cause its extinction.

"Haha, of course it's not a problem, and there's more than enough," Zheng Fan said.

"First of all, there's the issue of food. We can hunt a large number of savage beasts every day."

"The flesh and blood of these savage beasts can naturally become our food on the dining table."

"At the same time, the blood, skin, scales, claws, and other parts of the savage beasts can also be used as materials for formations, talismans, and Law Treasures, fully satisfying our various needs in cultivation."

"In addition, Senior Zhou is also proficient in the cultivation of Spirit Communication medicine. Many Spirit Medicine fields on Fengxi Island have been planted with a large number of Spirit Medicine, and the cultivation time for Spirit Medicine has been shortened. We can grow a large number of Spirit Medicine in a short period of time."

"So the pills produced on Fengxi Island are cheaper than they were in the past in Phoenix Stream City."

The crowd discussed among themselves.

At first, they also thought that it would be difficult for just an island to support so many humans.

But as time went on, they realized they were overthinking it.

Because of the abundance of resources in the Broken Star Sea, it was simply unimaginable.

Just the countless savage beasts alone could provide them with a large amount of cultivation resources.

Not to mention the Spirit Fields and medicine fields developed on the island, which could continuously provide Spirit Rice and Spirit Medicine to meet the needs of any cultivator.

Even without leaving their homes, they could obtain more than enough resources.

The only flaw was that the veins on Fengxi Island were scarce, which also led to a lack of materials for artifact refining.

But other than that, they had no shortage of cultivation resources.

And this was completely sufficient.

After all, the so-called materials for artifact refining were only used to refine Law Treasures.

But now they didn't need to fight against other enemies. Even if the power of Law Treasures was slightly weaker, it didn't matter. As long as they had enough Spirit Medicine and pills, their cultivation would continue to improve.

So over the years, countless cultivators were born on Fengxi Island.

Even most mortals had the opportunity to advance to the Martial Dao Gold Core realm, entering the Dao and nurturing their spiritual roots.

"That Senior Zhou is not only a Rank Seven Formation Master, but also proficient in the cultivation of Spirit Medicine?" Wu Di was completely dumbfounded.

"Not only proficient in the cultivation of Spirit Medicine, he is also a Rank Seven Pill Master himself."

"Every once in a while, he refines a large number of Treasure Pills."

"Previously, there were only a few hundred Void Refining cultivators on Fengxi Island, but now the number of Void Refining cultivators has reached over a thousand, several times more."

"The reason for this is that Senior Zhou occasionally refines the Two-Yin Shattering Void Pill, which helps cultivators at the Soul Formation stage successfully advance to Void Refining."

"I see that your cultivation seems to be close to the completion of Soul Formation. If you accumulate enough contribution points on Fengxi Island, perhaps you can exchange for a Two-Yin Shattering Void Pill."

Many cultivators smiled and looked at Wu Di.

What?! Wu Di's heart was completely stirred up by waves of shock and ecstasy upon hearing this.

He never expected that his opportunity would fall into this place.

Back in Yunze City, it was simply wishful thinking to obtain a Two-Yin Shattering Void Pill.

They were basically monopolized by those big families, and there was no chance for independent cultivators like him.

If he wanted to obtain a Two-Yin Shattering Void Pill, he would have to serve those big families like a dog.

But now it was different. He could easily obtain a Two-Yin Shattering Void Pill on Fengxi Island.

This meant that his future promotion to Void Refining was within reach.

"I wonder how many contribution points are needed to exchange for a Two-Yin Shattering Void Pill?" Wu Di couldn't help but ask.

"Well, we don't keep idle people on Fengxi Island. Every cultivator needs to make their own contributions."

"Of course, we don't need to mention fighting skills. We don't lack cultivators like that on Fengxi Island now."

"But to cultivate the Dao of Immortality, you must master one skill in order to work and live on Fengxi Island," said Zheng Fan, a Void Refining cultivator, in a deep voice.

Obviously, with the protection of the Rank Seven Array and numerous Void Refining savage beasts, Fengxi Island is extremely safe.

Basically, there is no need for too many guards.

Therefore, the majority of cultivators need to engage in production activities.

Since there is no need for combat abilities, various auxiliary abilities in cultivation are naturally required.

For example, breeding, planting, alchemy, artifact refining, talisman making, formation deployment, and so on.

In short, cultivators without secondary occupations cannot survive on Fengxi Island.

"My alchemy skills are pretty good," Wu Di said confidently.

As Wu Paopao, he had traveled all over the world in the mortal realm, so he naturally learned the art of alchemy.

After all, if you do it yourself, you will have food and clothing.

As long as he can refine pills, he won't need to beg others.

So his alchemy skills have reached the Rank Five High Grade level.

Basically, it is among the top level of Soul Formation cultivators.

"Oh, not bad. If that's the case, you will earn contribution points quickly," Zheng Fan said.

"There is also an alchemy city on Fengxi Island, where there are alchemists."

"If you can join them and produce a large number of pills every day, you can earn a lot of contribution points."

"It should take about a thousand years to earn enough contribution points to exchange for the Two-Yin Shattering Void Pill."

Zheng Fan carefully considered it.

After all, Fengxi Island is actually in great need of alchemists.

Because being an alchemist is a technical occupation that requires a certain level of talent.

And even with talent, it takes years of alchemy and accumulated experience to become a top alchemist.

So alchemists like Wu Di, who are at the Rank Five High Grade level, are highly sought after.

"A thousand years?"

"If it only takes a thousand years to obtain the Two-Yin Shattering Void Pill, then it's a done deal."

Wu Di was very excited.

After all, he is only three thousand years old now, and even if he obtains the Two-Yin Shattering Void Pill at four thousand years old, it would still be considered his prime, because Soul Formation cultivators can live for six thousand years.

If he can break through, he will instantly have a lifespan of twelve thousand years.

So waiting for a thousand years is completely worth it.

Whoosh!

In no time, Wu Di followed the crowd into Dongxi City.

He immediately saw the appearance of the entire city, which was well-planned, with roads leading in all directions, square and neat, and surrounded by stone houses with many inscribed prohibition arrays.

Even without external enemies, every city is equipped with formation arrays.

This is also to be prepared for the worst-case scenario.

After all, once the Misty Sea is breached, these prohibition arrays can also delay the enemy for a moment.

Of course, he didn't care about the appearance of the city. He had seen too many similar cities, and they were all basically the same, not much to look at.

In fact, what he cared more about were the mortals living in the city.

Compared to the mortals in Yunze City, he felt that the mortals here were many times stronger.

Each one had vigorous blood energy, not inferior to ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivators or Foundation Building stage cultivators.

They were even comparable to Gold Core cultivators.

In short, the mortals and cultivators living together seemed to be in perfect harmony.

"Senior, how can the mortals here be so powerful?"

Wu Di widened his eyes, feeling shocked.

He felt that the mortals here were too powerful, not inferior to cultivators at all.

And there were so many of them.

To be honest, when has he ever seen so many powerful mortal martial artists?

"Isn't this normal?"

"Remember, this is the Broken Star Sea, with countless savage beasts."

"And what we are best at is hunting savage beasts."

"The flesh and blood of those savage beasts can be refined into Body Tempering Pills, Qi and Blood Pills, and so on."

"And they can be supplied in large quantities."

"Previously, the reason why mortals couldn't advance to the Martial Dao Gold Core realm was simply because of insufficient resources."

"Although there is a saying that sounds harsh, as long as there are sufficient resources, even a pig can become an immortal."

"In fact, it is the same now."

"In the past, on the Canglong Continent, ordinary people could not obtain a large amount of cultivation resources, so the number of people who became Martial Dao Gold Core was very scarce, few and far between."

"But now it's different. With the abundant supply of wild beast meat, ordinary people have been consuming various kinds of wild beast meat since childhood, their vitality is flourishing, and they have laid a solid foundation. Therefore, it is very easy for them to reach the realm of Martial Dao Gold Core."

"Once they reach the Martial Dao Gold Core, they can condense the Spirit Gathering roots and enter the Dao with martial arts."

"In this way, ordinary people can become cultivators."

"It can be said that every ordinary person is a reserve cultivator, and they are treated equally on Fengxi Island."

Void Refining cultivator Zheng Fan smiled slightly and said with emotion.

Previously, he didn't think much of ordinary people, only treating them as tools for reproduction.

Even if he treated ordinary people well, it was only to have them give birth to many humans with spiritual roots.

But now it's different.

Ordinary people can also evolve into cultivators, and they can independently give birth to spiritual roots.

So there is actually not much difference between ordinary people and cultivators.

Moreover, this will also greatly enhance the strength of the human race on Fengxi Island.

The probability of giving birth to high-level cultivators in the future is also greater.

In the past few hundred years, the strength of Fengxi Island has undergone earth-shaking changes.

"No wonder there are so many Martial Artists. It turns out that resources can be supplied endlessly."

Wu Di suddenly realized.

He felt that he had underestimated the potential of the human race.

The reason why the human race was weak in the past was simply because they did not fully exert the power of ordinary people.

If every human in the future can give birth to spiritual roots, and everyone becomes a cultivator, then it would be quite remarkable.

The speed of the human race's strength improvement is unknown how many times that of other races.

After all, the evolution speed of human cultivators is much faster than that of other races.

In just a few hundred years, it is possible to produce some Nascent Soul or even Soul Formation cultivators.

"Yes, resources are indeed very important."

"In the past, we humans were basically in a state of malnutrition."

"In that case, how can we be opponents of other races?"

"If each of us humans can receive proper cultivation, we will definitely give birth to a large number of Apex Level powerhouses."

"At that time, even if we become Transcendent Level clans of the Spirit World, it is not impossible."

Void Refining cultivator Zheng Fan clenched his fist and his eyes revealed a burning ambition.

He felt that if the human race continued to develop like this, they would sooner or later have a place in the Broken Star Sea.

"I wonder where we are going next?"

Wu Di curiously asked.

He wanted to know where the other party was taking him.

"Well, naturally it is Phoenix Stream City."

"You are a human cultivator who came from the Canglong Continent, and you know about the development of the human race in the past few hundred years."

"It can be considered as valuable information, so the high-level officials of Phoenix Stream City also want to meet you and ask some questions."

"After completing these matters, you can register your identity here."

"Settle down peacefully on Fengxi Island."

Void Refining cultivator Zheng Fan straightforwardly stated his arrangement for Wu Di.

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Wu Di immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that his future was completely secured.

He was also very happy in his heart.

It's really better to have a powerful force backing you. Previously, when he appeared in the Broken Star Sea, he was all alone, and any foreign cultivator who saw him wanted to kill him and take his treasures.

It can be said that during this period of time, he didn't even dare to sleep, always remaining vigilant.

He was afraid that the enemy would cut off his head without him realizing it, causing his many years of cultivation to be destroyed.

Swoosh!

Not long after, under the guidance of Void Refining cultivator Zheng Fan, they boarded a small teleportation array in Dongxi City and instantly teleported to Phoenix Stream City.

"Is this Phoenix Stream City?"

Wu Di took a deep breath, excited. He felt that it was worthy of being the largest city on Fengxi Island, with extremely dense spiritual energy that couldn't be compared to other places.

But soon, he looked up and immediately saw a thick layer of black clouds appearing in the sky, covering an area of tens of thousands of kilometers.

It seemed to shroud the core area of Fengxi Island.

Above the sky, from time to time, there would be flashes of green thunder, which made people's hearts tremble in fear.

"Is this the Void Refining Thunder Tribulation? Could it be that someone is transcending their tribulation?"

"But who exactly is transcending their tribulation, and why is the tribulation phenomenon so intense?"

Seeing this scene, Wu Di was completely dumbfounded.

He had seen people transcending their tribulation before, but the tribulation phenomenon at most covered a distance of tens of thousands of miles.

But now, it had already covered hundreds of thousands, even millions of miles.

The thunder tribulations that appeared in the sky from time to time made him tremble in fear and shiver uncontrollably.

It seemed that if any thunder tribulation struck down randomly, he would be reduced to ashes.

"This is the Eighty-First Layer green Thunder Tribulation."

"Such an astonishing green Thunder Tribulation, only one person on Fengxi Island can trigger it."

"That person is Fellow Daoist Zhou."

"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Zhou is about to advance to the Void Refining Late Stage? This is too fast."

Zheng Fan, a Void Refining cultivator, contracted his pupils and muttered to himself, his heart surging with shock and astonishment.

He was both shocked and delighted at the moment.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou transcending his tribulation? About to advance to the Void Refining Late Stage?"

Hearing this, Wu Di's eyes flickered.

He naturally knew who this so-called Fellow Daoist Zhou was. To be honest, besides Zhou Sui, who had brought astonishing changes to Fengxi Island, who else could it be with such a respectful appearance from this Void Refining cultivator in front of him?

But he also understood why this senior Zheng Fan was so shocked and incredulous.

According to the previous intelligence, that Zhou Sui, like himself, was an Ascension cultivator who ascended from the lower realm. But so far, his age was only 1,100 years old.

It could be said that he was much younger than himself.

But now, he was about to break through to the Void Refining Late Stage, while he himself was only at the Soul Formation stage.

The difference between them was really too great.

They were simply incomparable.

To be honest, he didn't even know how Zhou Sui cultivated. His cultivation speed was really too exaggerated.

"But this is also a good thing."

"If successful in breaking through, it won't be far from reaching the Body Integration realm."

"If Fellow Daoist Zhou can become a powerful Body Integration expert, it is possible that Fengxi Island will undergo earth-shattering changes."

"By then, we will also be able to occupy a place in this sea area."

Void Refining cultivator Zheng Fan was extremely excited.

He had no trace of jealousy towards Zhou Sui's progress. After all, the gap between them was too large. He didn't even have the capacity for jealousy, only sincere admiration.

Moreover, the stronger Zhou Sui's cultivation became, the greater the benefits for Fengxi Island and every human cultivator. This is the concept of "when one person achieves the Dao, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."

Basically, every human on Fengxi Island benefited from Zhou Sui's cultivation progress.

Both sides had long been mutually beneficial and complementary.

Of course, it wasn't just Void Refining cultivator Zheng Fan who knew about this.

When the Heavenly Tribulation appeared, thousands of Void Refining cultivators in Phoenix Stream City were the first to know that Zhou Sui was about to transcend the tribulation. This was something that couldn't be concealed.

"To actually cross the Thunder Tribulation of the Void Refining Late Stage, Fellow Daoist Zhou is truly amazing. How many years has it been since he advanced to the Void Refining Mid Stage? I originally thought he would need thousands of years to break through, but it turns out it has only been two or three hundred years. Such cultivation efficiency is too terrifying."

A Void Refining ancestor sighed emotionally.

For a normal Void Refining cultivator, breaking through the bottleneck of the Void Refining Late Stage would take thousands of years. But now, Zhou Sui seemed to have no bottleneck at all, breaking through as soon as he wanted.

This also caught them completely unprepared.

"To be honest, compared to those Immortal Spirit Root cultivators in history or those who were reincarnated as immortals, this kind of cultivation efficiency is indeed a bit excessive. It is said that those reincarnated immortals can become Mahayana realm cultivators within a thousand years."

Looking at it this way, perhaps Fellow Daoist Zhou is not a reincarnated immortal. His achievements today are purely due to his talent and opportunities."

Another Void Refining ancestor's eyes flickered as he voiced his inner speculation.

Many people had previously speculated that Zhou Sui might be a reincarnated immortal, which would explain his rapid progress. But now, seeing Zhou Sui's speed of progress, it seemed that he was far behind the true reincarnated immortals.

After all, those reincarnated immortals carried the true Immortal Dao Fruit, which contained immense True Immortal energy and didn't require re-cultivation. As long as they continuously awakened the memories of their past lives, their cultivation would naturally improve.

No, it couldn't be called improvement; it should be called gradually restoring their past cultivation.

"In that case, isn't it even more terrifying?"

"Not a reincarnated immortal, yet able to do things like an immortal. He is truly an unparalleled monster."

"In fact, there have been some unparalleled monsters like this in the Spirit World. They are no worse than those reincarnated immortals, and even stronger. Unfortunately, they appeared among the True Spirit race, not among our weak races."

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Zhou may be the unparalleled monster nurtured by the luck accumulated by our human race for billions of years. If Fellow Daoist Zhou can advance to the Mahayana realm, perhaps he can lead our human race to unprecedented heights."

The Void Refining cultivators were discussing among themselves.

To be honest, they had some doubts about Zhou Sui before.

But after hundreds of years of interaction, they were completely convinced.

Because Zhou Sui was incredibly knowledgeable, a true genius.

He had dabbled in all aspects of cultivation.

Not only was he accomplished in formations and alchemy, but he also had great achievements in rune crafting, artifact refining, and other skills. Many people had sought his guidance and benefited greatly.

At first, it was just a mutual discussion.

But as time went on, it was purely Zhou Sui guiding them.

It could be said that Zhou Sui was no different from their mentor, imparting knowledge and solving their doubts.

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Zhou can overcome this Green Thunder Tribulation?"

"A full Eighty-First Layer of Green Thunder Tribulation, much stronger than last time."

An old Void Refining ancestor expressed great concern.

"Haha, how foolish."

"If it were any other cultivator, perhaps there would be something to worry about."

"But this is Fellow Daoist Zhou we're talking about. How could a mere Green Thunder Tribulation pose a threat to him?"

"We just need to watch and wait calmly."

Many Void Refining cultivators laughed heartily.

They had full confidence in Zhou Sui and did not believe he would fail in Transcending Tribulation.

The series of events that had occurred before had also deified Zhou Sui in their eyes.

If Zhou Sui couldn't succeed in Transcending Tribulation, then who else could?

...

At this moment, in the Eighty-Eight Manor.

Bai Suje, Tao Qili, Hua Siqing, and Shi Yuxi were sitting in the courtyard, drinking tea and chatting. The table was filled with various delicious dishes, emitting a fragrant aroma.

The four stunning beauties sitting here were like a beautiful landscape.

After all, each of them could be considered a beauty that outshone the others, whether it was their figure or their face, they were top-notch.

Especially after years of cultivation, they had become even more alluring, with graceful and enchanting figures.

"You're really drinking tea and chatting here, aren't you a bit too relaxed?"

"This is your Husband's Transcending Tribulation, after all."

Shi Yuxi was speechless when she saw this scene, not knowing what to say.

After all, this was Zhou Sui's Transcending Tribulation. If he wasn't careful, he could lose his life.

But these three women were not only not overly concerned, but they were also drinking tea and chatting, as if it were just a regular leisure activity.

"What's there to be afraid of? It's just a Green Thunder Tribulation. How could it possibly pose a threat to Husband?"

"We'll just wait here quietly, no need to worry about anything."

Bai Suje chuckled.

Having been with her husband for many years, she naturally knew his abilities. If a mere Green Thunder Tribulation could really harm him, then he wouldn't be Zhou Sui.

The so-called worry was just unnecessary.

"This..."

Hearing this, Shi Yuxi didn't know what to say.

She could only say that the man who was currently undergoing Transcending Tribulation was too powerful. Otherwise, her three sisters wouldn't have such confidence and wouldn't even consider the Eighty-First Layer of Green Thunder Tribulation a threat.

Perhaps only such a man could conquer her three beautiful sisters, who were like celestial immortals.

And enjoy the blessings of having them all.

"But Sister Shi, are you really planning to marry our Husband?"

At this moment, Hua Siqing blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Shi Yuxi with a smile that seemed to see through everything.

Her beautiful eyes seemed to have seen through everything.

To be honest, she didn't expect her good sister Shi Yuxi to have such thoughts.

Clearly, her sister Shi Yuxi was a woman who rarely showed her emotions to others and rarely developed feelings for the opposite sex.

But she had an extraordinary fondness for their Husband.

It could only be said that their Husband was incredibly charming.

Even her sisters couldn't resist him.

"There's nothing wrong with that."

"Since you can all share one husband, what's wrong with me joining in?"

Shi Yuxi blushed.

Although she had briefly revealed her feelings, she didn't expect her sisters to be so straightforward in exposing it. But since things had come to this point, there was no need to hide anything.

Instead, she showed a self-righteous expression.

"I knew you were coming to see us every now and then with ulterior motives, and often wearing a little camisole."

"Afraid that no one knows you're Xiong Da."

"I didn't expect you to actually try to seduce my husband."

Tao Qili said angrily.

She regarded Shi Yuxi as her own sister, who could have imagined that this good sister would covet her own husband.

She even wanted to cuckold her, which was completely unreasonable and ambitious.

If the other party wasn't her longtime sister, she would definitely beat her up.

She wanted this slut to stop having so many ulterior motives.

Her husband would not be interested in such wild grass.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

"If Shi Yuxi marries my husband, our family will be even livelier."

"From now on, we will truly be one family."

"To be honest, I've wanted to take concubines for my husband for a long time."

"After all, with just the three of us, it's a bit difficult."

"My husband's physical strength is too strong."

Bai Suje, on the other hand, was overjoyed. She thought it was a good thing.

After all, they had been together for a long time as sisters, they were longtime best friends, and they didn't want to let outsiders have a share of the good fortune.

If her sisters were willing, it would be even better.

In fact, she had long wanted to match her sisters with her husband, but she was worried that they would resist.

But now it seems that Shi Yuxi had long had such thoughts.

"Where do you get these words? Always finding women for your own husband."

Tao Qili gritted her teeth, not knowing what to say, and looked at Bai Suje with resentment.

If this continued, she didn't know how many wives her husband would have.

"What's wrong with that? I think my husband's current number of wives is still too few. Including me, there are only two or three, as the future Human Emperor, having so few wives is simply too few."

"Although it may not be as many as my father, at least having three thousand concubines."

"But dozens are definitely needed."

Bai Suje counted on her fingers and said carefully.

This was actually caused by the deep-seated sense of crisis engraved in the human race's genes in the Spirit World.

Because over billions of years, the human race was extremely weak and always faced the threat of extinction.

To avoid the fate of extinction, they needed to have a large number of children.

And the more the better.

In this way, there would always be a continuous stream of new generations in the human race.

As the Human Emperor, the emperor of the human race, naturally needed to lead by example and have a large number of children to ensure the continuation of the bloodline.

Therefore, the population of the royal family was very large.

Basically, most of the people living in the imperial city were relatives of the royal family, all with close ties.

That's why she felt that her husband had too few women.

So far, there were only three concubines, which was like the behavior of an ascetic.

"Well, my husband is indeed an ascetic."

"Clearly, just a flick of his finger, countless female cultivators would throw themselves at him."

"But now, there are only the three of us."

"And if it weren't for our little tricks, I'm afraid we wouldn't have succeeded."

Hua Siqing nodded.

Ordinary people have only one wife because they can only afford one.

Having a second one would most likely lead to bankruptcy.

But her husband was different, he clearly had unlimited wealth, and could easily support a thousand or eight hundred.

But now there were only three, which was already quite restrained.

"Yes, instead of benefiting other unfamiliar women, it's better to benefit our sisters."

"At least we know each other well."

Bai Suje said seriously.

"If that's the case, it does make sense."

"White sister is right, instead of letting my husband marry those dubious women outside."

"It's better to let Shi sister join us."

"Also, it can help us share the pressure."

Tao Qili couldn't help but nod, fully agreeing with this point.

She also felt that there were more benefits than drawbacks to Shi Yuxi joining their big family.

"But I've tried everything I can, and it seems that Zhou Lang is still indifferent."

"Could it be that I'm not big enough or my legs aren't long enough?"

Shi Yuxi said helplessly.

She usually flaunted her impressive figure without reservation, but that man completely ignored her.

It was as if he treated her like air.

This made her extremely annoyed, wondering if her charm was not enough.

She couldn't even attract a man.

But she wasn't the kind of enchantress who excelled in seduction, so it was normal for her not to know what to do.

"Of course not, Sister Shi's charm is evident to all, no less than ours."

"Which man wouldn't fall at your feet."

"The reason why Husband ignores you is simply because he has a strong will."

"As long as we use a little strategy, we can definitely make Husband fall for you."

Hua Siqing's beautiful eyes flickered, as if she had come up with many plans.

"A little strategy? I wonder what kind of plan it is?"

Hearing this, Shi Yuxi was very curious and couldn't help but look at Hua Siqing.

She was also very pleased.

If she could get Hua Siqing's help, then marrying into the Zhou family would be almost certain.

"Well, for the specifics, we need to discuss it."

"We must have a foolproof plan."

Hua Siqing smiled slightly.

Suddenly, the four women began to chat and discuss various plans.

...

...

...

A little later in time.

Phoenix Stream City, Eighty-Eight Daoist Courtyard, a certain Cave Mansion.

This was where Zhou Sui was cultivating in seclusion.

Boom~~~

At this moment, within the entire Cave Mansion, boundless spiritual energy surged in.

These spiritual energies seemed to condense into substance, turning into strands of mist, making the Cave Mansion hazy with clouds and mist.

Each strand of mist contained immense spiritual liquid energy.

Even a drop of such spiritual liquid energy would be enough to burst the body of an ordinary low-level cultivator.

Zhou Sui sat cross-legged on the ground, operating the Divine Gu Sutra. Strands of mist surged towards him, causing his body to seem like a black hole, devouring and assimilating.

Infinite celestial and earthly energy entered his body, transforming into Void Refining mana.

The mana in his Qi Sea deep within his dantian also increased bit by bit, finally reaching perfection.

"I have finally advanced to the mid-stage of Void Refining."

At this moment, Zhou Sui suddenly opened his eyes, feeling the surging flow of Void Refining mana within his body, circulating through every meridian, forming rivers and streams.

After a hundred years of arduous cultivation, coupled with the assistance of elixirs, his progress was truly rapid.

So it was only natural for him to advance to the mid-stage of Void Refining, and there was no bottleneck to reaching the late stage.

"It seems that there is no bottleneck to reaching the late stage of Void Refining, it's simply a breeze."

Zhou Sui's face showed a strange expression.

According to the records in the classics, almost all Void Refining cultivators between the mid-stage and late stage would encounter a bottleneck, like a huge chasm.

Preventing a large number of Void Refining cultivators from entering the late stage.

If one wanted to break through this bottleneck, it would take thousands of years to slowly overcome it.

Or one could take some special Treasure Pills, relying on their immense medicinal power, to possibly break through the bottleneck of the mid-stage of Void Refining.

But now, he didn't have such a bottleneck.

It could also be said that the bottleneck was very small.

As long as he had the intention, he could easily cross it and advance to the late stage of Void Refining.

But this was also normal.

Because his foundation was extremely solid, every realm was cultivated to perfection, with almost no flaws. This also led to him breaking through realms now without any bottlenecks.

This is the importance of focusing on the early stages of cultivation.

Take one step ahead, and every step will be ahead.

Those who make rapid breakthroughs in the early stages and then reach the Late Stage realm will find it difficult to make any progress. Often, a small bottleneck can trap you for thousands of years, wasting a large amount of lifespan.

Boom~~

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui didn't hesitate and immediately activated the Void Refining power in his body to break through the bottleneck.

Suddenly, it was as if everything fell into place, and his immense power instantly broke through this barrier.

Late Stage of Void Refining!

The realm that countless Void Refining cultivators dream of was easily achieved by Zhou Sui.

"This!"

Zhou Sui's eyes gleamed. After stepping into the Late Stage of Void Refining, he felt that his Primordial Spirit and power had increased by more than double compared to before.

No wonder there is such a huge difference between the Mid Stage and Late Stage of Void Refining. They are simply incomparable.

His strength has also greatly improved.

A vast power of Void Refining brewed within his body, like a surging sea.

Boom~~~

Before he could fully comprehend the realm of Late Stage of Void Refining, Zhou Sui immediately sensed the aura of Heavenly Tribulation coming from the sky, indicating that he had triggered the Heavenly Tribulation.

The tribulation clouds gathered, covering hundreds of thousands of kilometers, obscuring the sky.

Eighty-First Layer of blue tribulation thunder!

This is the Heavenly Tribulation that Zhou Sui needs to overcome in order to advance to the Late Stage of Void Refining.

Compared to before, the power of this tribulation thunder has increased by dozens of times.

If an ordinary Void Refining cultivator encounters this level of tribulation thunder, they would probably die instantly.

There is simply no chance of survival.

Of course, for him, although the Eighty-First Layer of blue tribulation thunder is terrifying, it is still just a futile attempt to take his life.

Whoosh!

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui's figure flashed and immediately left his Cave Mansion, flying directly into the air.

Boom boom boom!!!

In an instant, countless blue tribulation thunders as thick as water buckets descended from the sky, hundreds and thousands of them, containing destructive power.

The power of each blue tribulation thunder is no less than a full-force strike from a Late Stage Void Refining cultivator.

Such power is enough to shatter the boundless earth.

Unfortunately, for Zhou Sui, it is nothing more than that.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the Rank Seven Calamity Thunder Gu flew out and stood above Zhou Sui's head, opening its big mouth.

It swallowed each blue tribulation thunder that fell, one after another.

Many blue tribulation thunders entered its belly and merged into the endless sea of thunder within its body.

No matter how many blue tribulation thunders descended, they couldn't harm the Calamity Thunder Gu in the slightest.

Instead, the Calamity Thunder Gu treated these blue tribulation thunders as its daily snacks, showing a satisfied expression.

"Indeed, the Eighty-First Layer of blue tribulation thunder is no longer a threat to me and cannot cause me much harm. I can easily overcome it."

After several hours, the tribulation clouds dissipated.

The Heavenly Tribulation also instantly collapsed, with all the tribulation thunder energy exhausted.

Threads of Qi of Good Fortune fell with the rain, covering the entire Eighty-Eight Daoist Academy.

Boom~~

Zhou Sui activated the Divine Gu Sutra, and his whole body seemed to transform into a black hole, generating an unparalleled suction force that swallowed all the Qi of Good Fortune from all directions into his body.

At this moment, he felt that his body was like a long-awaited rain after a drought. By devouring the boundless Qi of Good Fortune, the Void Refining power within his body also increased exponentially.

Just the energy contained in these Qi of Good Fortune is enough to rival hundreds of years of his cultivation.

"Late Stage of Void Refining is equivalent to Crossing the Void. Once this realm is reached, one can physically traverse the void, ignore many dangers in the void, and freely travel between two Great Worlds."

"However, no Void Refining cultivator at the Late Stage would do such a thing. After all, the distance between worlds is too far. Even if one exhausts their entire life, it is difficult to cross two Great Worlds."

"So even if one has such ability, no Void Refining ancestor would be willing to do so."

Zhou Sui took a deep breath.

With a thought, his Primordial Spirit penetrated the void, mobilizing the power of the void, immediately creating a void barrier that enveloped every part of his body.

It was like a 360-degree coverage.

Within this void barrier, it can block various energy attacks, filter radiation, and even create air. It can be said to have infinite uses.

It can be said that Void Refining cultivators at the Late Stage have greatly increased their combat power and various auxiliary abilities, which cannot be compared to Mid Stage cultivators.
