Pill God Returns

At the bottom of the cliff, Yue Qingzhu sat on the ground with her hands supporting her cheeks. A pair of big eyes looked at Wu Chen. This person... He had been silent for a whole month. If not for the fact that he was still breathing... She was afraid that he would have already died.    

"It has been a month. I wonder how is Master?"    

In this month, Yue Qingzhu had been staying close to Wu Chen. Occasionally, there would be. When she was bored, she would meditate and cultivate, increasing her cultivation base and strength. The main reason was that he was afraid that something unexpected would happen to Wu Chen. After all, the Nether Lotus... She should have been the one to bear it, but in the end, it was Wu Chen who bore it on her behalf.    

"If you don't wake up, I'm going back. I won't care about you anymore."    

Yue Qingzhu said with a cold snort. Who was she, Yue Qingzhu? She was the disciple of Saint Lord in Sky Profound Holy Land. She was almost the head disciple of Sky Profound Holy Land. She had outstanding talent and was both handsome and handsome. Even many true disciples did not have the qualifications to let her stay there for a month. But now, she had been guarding a person who didn't even have an Astral Reaching Stage cultivation base for a whole month. She had been staying close to him. If this matter was spread out, who knew how many people would envy Wu Chen?    

Right at this moment, the surrounding Universal Spiritual Qi suddenly began to surge violently, causing the wind and clouds to fluctuate and shake unceasingly.    

"What's going on?"    

The sudden change in the heaven and earth shocked Yue Qingzhu. She immediately stood up with a face full of doubt.    

"The direction of the Universal Spiritual Qi?"    

Looking at the direction the Universal Spiritual Qi was pointing at, Yue Qingzhu's expression changed drastically because she found that the direction the Universal Spiritual Qi was heading towards was where Wu Chen was.    

"This fellow is breaking through his cultivation. What's going on? Could it be?"    

Yue Qingzhu suddenly thought of something and her eyes widened as she looked at Wu Chen in shock. That figure had been meditating for a month.    

At this moment, the surrounding Universal Spiritual Qi were crazily rushing towards Wu Chen's body. His body had turned into a huge black hole, continuously absorbing the surrounding Universal Spiritual Qi. As the large amount of Universal Spiritual Qi entered his body, his aura was also rising steadily. Soon, he broke through to the Ninth Empyrean of True Martial Stage.    

"Ninth Empyrean of True Martial Stage! This guy is too terrifying!"    

Yue Qingzhu was shocked. She still remembered that on Master's birthday, Wu Chen's cultivation base was only at the Seventh Empyrean of True Martial Stage. How long had it been? In less than two months, his cultivation base had broken through two levels in a row. He had reached the Ninth Empyrean of True Martial Stage. Wasn't this cultivation speed a little too fast?    

However, after a moment, she was shocked to find that after Wu Chen broke through to the Ninth Empyrean of True Martial Stage, his Qi didn't stop. Instead, it continued to rise, and soon, he had reached the Peak of the Ninth Empyrean of True Martial Stage.    

"Peak of the Ninth Empyrean of True Martial Stage! What kind of monstrous genius is this guy?"    

Yue Qingzhu widened her eyes and stared at Wu Chen. Her heart was filled with endless shock. She had never seen such a terrifying person before.    

However, just as she thought that breaking through to the Peak of the Ninth Empyrean of True Martial Stage was Wu Chen's limit, she discovered that Wu Chen's Qi was still rising.    

"This guy has already broken through to the Peak of the Ninth Empyrean of True Martial Stage, but he still refuses to stop. Could it be that he wants to break through to the Astral Reaching Stage in one go?"    

Just as Yue Qingzhu's thought was about to come to an end, the world suddenly changed. The space trembled, and a huge amount of Universal Spiritual Qi crazily gathered.    

"What?"    

Yue Qingzhu widened her eyes and stared at Wu Chen as if she was looking at a monster.    

Rumble!    

The heaven and earth rumbled and the wind and clouds shook. Endless airflow surged from all directions. It crazily poured into Wu Chen's body like a torrent. Wu Chen's Qi was also rising rapidly. He had already surpassed the Peak of the Ninth Empyrean of True Martial Stage, and was now rushing towards the Astral Reaching Stage's barrier.    

This situation lasted for a minute. Suddenly, an extremely powerful force burst out from Wu Chen's body. This force had far exceeded the True Martial Stage.    

"This guy, has he really broken through to the Astral Reaching Stage?"    

Yue Qingzhu's eyes were wide open, and she didn't even blink. This Qi had far surpassed the Peak of the Ninth Empyrean of True Martial Stage, and it was indeed the Astral Reaching Stage.    

"Is this guy still human?"    

Yue Qingzhu's entire body was in a mess. When it came to cultivation talent, she had to admit that she was outstanding enough, but compared to Wu Chen, she was nothing. This guy was a true freak, a true monster.    

After another half a minute, the airflow stopped flowing, and the world returned to being clear again.    

"I succeeded. Hahaha."    

Wu Chen burst into laughter. He opened his eyes and exited his cultivation. After going through so much hardship, he finally managed to refine the Nether Lotus as he wished. His strength had also increased tremendously.    

"Eh? Yue Qingzhu?"    

When Wu Chen opened his eyes, he saw Yue Qingzhu staring at him with her eyes wide open. She was staring at him without blinking. No one knew what she was looking at.    

"Yue Qingzhu, what's wrong with you? What are you looking at?"    

Wu Chen was curious. He looked at his body and did not find anything wrong. Since there was nothing wrong, what was Yue Qingzhu looking at?    

Yue Qingzhu's body swayed and her immortal body trembled. She woke up from her shock.    

"You... you have broken through to the Astral Reaching Stage?"    

Wu Chen smiled and nodded. "Yes."    

This time, he had gained a lot from refining the Nether Lotus. His cultivation base had broken through continuously, and he had actually broken through to the Astral Reaching Stage. This was something he had never thought of.    

"This... How is this possible? Could it be?"    

Suddenly, Yue Qingzhu was startled. She pointed at Wu Chen and said in shock, "Could it be that you have refined the Nether Lotus?"    

She didn't believe that there was really someone in this world who could break through to the Ninth Empyrean of True Martial Stage in a split second. Astral Reaching Stage. No matter how monstrous one's talent was, it was absolutely impossible.    

Therefore, there was only one possibility. Borrowing external help. As for the external objects on Wu Chen's body, that was the Nether Lotus. In the past, after Xuan Mo absorbed the Nether Lotus, his strength had increased greatly. Later on, he absorbed an endless amount of life essence, and even broke through to the Demi-god Stage in one go. He had become a magnate like her, Master Immortal Sovereign Linglong.    

Therefore, there was only one possibility for Wu Chen's strength to suddenly increase. That was, he had absorbed and refined the Nether Lotus, and that was the only possibility. Only then could his cultivation base increase dramatically in a short period of time, or perhaps even break through to the Astral Reaching Stage in one go.    

Under Yue Qingzhu's shocked gaze, Wu Chen nodded his head.    

"Yes, I have refined the Nether Lotus."    

"You?"
